It sounds like it's time for some professional witnesses to be deployed - once it has got to this stage the scum begin to think they are untouchable and with all the will in the world you cannot expect residents to put themselves on offer and even the best police patrols (and it doesn't sound like the neighbourhood team for that estate have any sort of grip on the problem at all) still leave lots of gaps in which the scum can perform unmolested.

My mate was on hold an hour and 10mins - when he got through they gave his some bullshit about getting the wrong number - he should have called the "safer communities unit" or some such.
This is exactly what my mate did, adter having kids throwing stones at his windows for two weeks he lost the plot, came out and chased them, then stood outside his house ranting and raving for a bout an hour -editor said:
The kids kept trying to come back and each time he threatened them with violence.
What was interesting was the reaction from neighbours - some people came out and laughed at him - one couple told him to make sure he "hurt them" if he caught one.
What made him most mad was that not everyoe came out and supported him - although it looks like the same kids have been pissing off loads of people on his street (elm park). Would be good if adults came together and stood up together, rather than sniggering from the sidelines, as some did.
Its been a few days now, and the stone throwing has stopped - however you're right there is every danger that this just ups the stakes and they'll smash you up even worse in some other way.

I've sent a complaint to [email protected] and the Coldharbour 'safer neighbourhoods' team: [email protected]
May I suggest others do the same?
