  1. Around about 2 months ago coming out of a car park in birmingham we witnessed a mugging 2 young asian girls they were having their bags snatched ! We caught this on our car camera 😀 the girls reported it to the police i told them we have it on film and to this day the police are yet to come and collect our footage 😡😡 the police are not bothered for all they know this could be the person they are looking for 😡 i have lost all faith in our police after this JUST NOT BOTHERED AT ALL

  2. If they caught the person and it was admitted, they wouldn’t need the footage.

    They could have lost your contact details maybe? Have you chased them up to see?

    My point about it being a different force was that you can’t let a bad experience of one incident with one force affect your opinion of police as a whole.

  3. Well i doubt they did catch the person because the girls and i exchanged numbers and they never told me they caught the person x they said they would tell me if they did

  4. James Twigg they haven’t caught him or the girls would have told me lol you just go stick up for the police as i used to before 😡i now know better than to think they even give a shit about the likes of me n you or two girls walking down the street minding their own business THINK WHAT YOU LIKE IM JUST TELLING YOU THAT THIS COULD BE THE SAME PERSON YET THEY HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN TO SEE US FOR FOOTAGE

  5. So because some random people didn’t phone you to tell you something you automatically assume that the offenders weren’t caught? Perhaps the victims realised you were a bit lonely (and possibly had a mild case of the mentals) and thought better of calling you for fear of you thinking they were suddenly your best friend and being stalked for the rest of their lives? Or, could it be the police used proper CCTV footage, and caught the offenders so didn’t need your footage and the victims lost your number or just forgot to tell you as they didn’t think you were frothing at the mouth as much as you clearly are.

  6. So because you (assume) these people haven’t been arrested and your footage hasn’t been collected, you have decided to lose all faith in all the police!?
    Here’s hoping I never meet a grumpy McDonalds worker!

  7. Vicky, do you have the faintest idea how many street robbers there are in the West Midlands and Staffordshire?

    I had a dodgy battered sausage from a chippie once, I’ve lost all faith in the fish and chip shop industry and I’ve never been to any fish and chip establishment since.

    Does that sound ridiculous? So do you.

  8. DCI Gene Huntand there will be more street robbers too if they cannot be bothered to come and get mug shots of them off my footage wont they you arsehole think about it you idiot 😡i have the face of one on my camera

  9. Iain Scott yes i have 😡how many more people has this person mugged since i wonder ? The police don’t even know what they are looking for 😡they would rather sit on the roadside
