slinkydevil Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 The police need a serious lead in this case, otherwise they'll just be pissing into the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Ayres Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Our readers in the uk may be having difficulty here; A toilet block means a public building where toilets are available free of charge. A sink is somewhere, with running water, within one of these blocks where you can wash your hands. There are a number of these around the island, all clean and working order, mainly without graffiti or 'glory holes' in the partition walls. These are open throughout the day and some at night. You can use these without fear of being accosted by a 'cruiser' or plain clothed policeman/woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesemonster2005 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Shock horror! It's embarrassing that the only news to appear on IOM news websites is crap (no pun) like this. What about real stories concerning the failings of the SPC, MEA et al, exciting new Government discussions and PROWL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahc Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 PROWL is less interesting than this. MEA is old news and SPC is not news either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Groups of youngsters have been hanging around those toilets for months. i would have thought the local neighbourhood police would know who they are by now. There is no law to stop them "hanging around"...... The problem is proving which of them (if it was them) actually did the damage. It's things like this that makes Criminal Damage the most common crime (in the whole of the UK - not just the IOM) and also why it is probably one of the hardest crimes to solve. Someone drunk walking home stumbles alongside a car and snaps a wing mirror off. Unless someone sees them do it and calls the Police, there is virtually no chance of catching them.
