A Hotbed of Criminality

Illegal drugs, an abusive man, an animal rights protestor with a history of violence, illegal weapons, a burglary, shoplifting, and a deaf woman who locked her keys in the car – another normal day at the local shopping centre. Actually these are the incidents Mr Bill and his colleague dealt with today at the Llanffuglen shopping centre. The roles were all played by actors but, I guess on thinking about it, this could happen at the Ffuglen Centre; the drug dealers and other undesirables all promptly left the area as they saw upwards of 20 uniformed officers arrive.
Someone did comment to Mr Bill that you wait ages for one police officer and then 20 of them turn up at once!

Today was a chance for Mr Bill to try out all the knowledge and skills he has been accumulating. He was marked very highly, and particularly commended for how he dealt with a drug dealer/addict. He also disarmed a man who would have 'attacked' his colleague; the man was slipping telescopic nunchucks down from his sleeve.

Nunchucks are a weapon used originally in martial arts









What did surprise Mr Bill was the number of ordinary members of the public who asked him to have a word with their child and tell the little so and so to behave. I had always thought making your children behave was supposed to be the parents’ job.
