Good news from Merseyside...
....or should I say bad news, turning better?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-43212823 First, the bad news: QUOTE: Relatives of a great-grandmother who was killed by a teenager on a scrambler bike say "something must change". May Laidlaw, 78, was hit as she crossed a road in Liverpool in December. A 14-year-old boy was detained after admitting causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop. ENDQUOTE Now, the good (in fact, excellent) news: QUOTE: Mrs Laidlaw's family said they want police to have more powers to tackle people who use illegal scrambler bikes. A police chief said he believed some bikes were 'like a weapon'. Merseyside Police has arrested more than 100 people and seized 300 off-road bikes in its recent Operation Brookdale campaign, crushing scramblers found to be ridden illegally. ENDQUOTE That's the way to do it. |
