"quite big" = early am typing. I mean tall. I don't mean a fighter!

I know, I'm only teasing

The same law as to reasonable force applies as would apply to an adult.

Thanks for the links - will have a read.

Spoke to a copper this morning and asked them to add it to whatever intelligence profile they are building. Looks like its not being reported enough as yet, until more come forward they cant mount an operation. (always an issue with ad-hoc but semi-regular events in my experience)

Thanks for the tip, I live in the area so will keep an eye out.

Must say Soho has been cleaned up pretty well in the last few years, noticed a lot less dodgy characters and drug dealers out in the streets. But you can never get rid of all of them I guess...

Of course, if we still had the friendly beat officer, who'd know all the local sumbags anyway, it would never have got of the ground, or he'd have put a stop to it the moment a local had a word in his ear.

That gang have been mugging people in that area for at least a month, I work round the corner and have seen them grab bags twice now, over the course of 4-5 weeks.

These kids are they white?

They will be from Somers Town.
It's the Wild West there.
Be careful.

Race/Gender hard to determine - they were generally hoodied/scarfed scrotes...

RACIST!!!

To be honest I don't care who they are as I am 150 miles away from London.
I wrote the above as a test.

If you ask if they were black - you get 10 replies telling you your racist and color should not matter.

Ask if their white - hhhmmmm nothing yet (apart from the above wink)

Should the worst happen in the traffic do you think we will discover that they are simply misunderstood talented young footballers?

[NickHKent]

Happens all the time, all across town.

Little effer thought that because I was wearing a suit I was a wimp... swift knuckle sandwich soon sorted that out.

[rambo19]

OP, was you on your phone at the time?
If I use my phone in public I stand against a wall and have my eyes everywhere!

I have been thinking about your question and here's the deal - if you can convince me that you are not a racist then I'll tell you the answer.

[nickwilcock]

Go out with a couple of colleagues and pretend to be weaker than you are, so that you're an obvious target.

Catch the little sods, call another colleague in a vehicle, then drive them to somewhere quiet and castrate the little bds....

Back in the 1960s, the Twins or Richardsons wouldn't have allowed such casual crime on their manors. If they were lucky, any kids behaving in the way you describe might have had a first warning, but not a second warning...

Brutal, harsh, but effective.
