Three less scumbags roaming tonight.

galwayrush

Today, brother noticed a young guy hopping a side wall of an elderly couple's home. He drove in the driveway and three of them were trying to break through the back door. They fled through some fields at the back.
A few phonecalls later( neighbour watch is wonderful) , me and 2 friends noticed them running through the fields behind my workshop and we gave chase , catching one of them and as we pinned the little **** to the ground we were able to direct the gardai ( who were incredibly fast arriving) by phone which way the other 2 scumbags were heading. A large crowd had now gathered, (some armed ) and the 2 scumbags were very relieved the gardai got them first.

I have to say the gardai were superb, full credit to them in every way.:cool:

Jimoslimos

Fair play. A good news story on AH for a change. No-one got hurt and the scumbags were caught.

JohnMarston

Good stuff :cool:

Please Kill Me

Nice one, fair play man.

joe stodge

Did ya hit him a few slaps?

krudler

No officer he totally like fell under my boot, then he tried to headbutt my fist, strange man.

JazzyJ

Have they been let back out on the streets yet? :mad:

Hardonraging

Few nasty bruises and bump's on them I'm sure, from all them fences and bushes they ran through Garda ...

rocoso

Yitzhak Rabin

Praetorian Saighdiuir

Hard to reconcile this claim from what you've told in your story there. Surely the credit goes to you and your mates. Other than escort them away, sounds like they did bugger all.

Sky King

OP you need to get onto that elderly couple and explain what you did

Try get some money out of them, like.

Lawrence1895

Some sort of hat-trick I like :cool:

Shame the Gardai got there first, they won't learn a damn thing and won't be punished in the slightest.

There. I have reconciled it for you.

Escorting them back to the station and having to deal with the scumbags back there is not "bugger all".

Jesus fucking Christ, any excuse to bash the gardai in a thread praising them.

"Sorry OP, even though you were there and I wasn't, I am still more informed than you".

Trying to rob an elderly couple? Brave men indeed.

Simply making the point that they were responding to a call from a responsible citizen and that the praise should rightfully go to the OP. Chill out there Chief Inspector.

Definitely wasn't the Newbridge Garda anyway .....

xLexie

The gardai do a great job! Definitely not an easy job. Fair play OP

Are you saying that's what actually happened or something?

So which is it is then? Did they respond to the call or did they do bugger all?

Yes credit should go to the OP, but not the gardai?

What's with name calling by the way?

flutered

this country needs more people like the op and his mate, the usual thing here is to look the other way, a medal should be awarded.

RosyLily

First thought reading the thread title- "Ooooh murder!":o

Must stop watching copious amounts of the Crime & Investigation channel.

Did this happen in the corofin / turloughmore area???????? noticed a high speed unmarked Garda car speeding through the area about half one this afternoon....
Well done OP..... nice to see justice......

slavetothegrind

well done op. well done.

dont be surprised to see the cnuts walk though, but doubt they'll be back your way!

you did right not to do what we all want to do to such little cnuts!

space_man

shame the Gaurds apprehended them so soon.
about time some of these little knackers got a good beating.

Lackaghmore to be exact, it's between Lackagh and Turloughmore village....

HTML5!

Well done on your part though OP. You did the right thing. Part of me wishes these knackers got a serious beating though.

Pity they'll be let out tomorrow, a court appearance in a couple of months, off on a suspended 4 hour sentence and allowed break the law while possibly terrorising innocent elderly people another 20 times before they get any sort of punishment.

space_man

personally i think i'ld lose it if i caught some little scumbag in those circumstances.

"I'll be back on the street in 24 hours!"
"We'll try to make it 12."

Horsefumbler

They're not gonna get locked up for that. You should have called the cops. :rolleyes:

Mech1

one "bad guy" shot in meath today, four arrested, all goes well we are 5 "bad guys" less on the streets, keep it up, i'm loving it!

islanderre

Cheers Galwayrush,
That explains the Garda presence in the area this afternoon..... was at the sisters house when I heard and seen the unmarked squad car speed up the side road across from the wood factory place @ annagh hill..

Well done in any case....... hope they accidentally received a few slaps by accident.....

the groutch

why can't the Galway Gardai do that good a job during Rag Week?

Mushy

Fair play to ya Rush, would love to have been in that position myself.

I know it well.

I'm proud to say we hunted down a few ne'er-do-wells in a van a few years ago just beyond Cashla and introduced them to the business ends of the camogie team's hurleys ("Sure they were in the boot Guard, the young wans have a match tomorrow").

Well done OP, community policing at its very best.

Joy1

Well done! You and your neighbours have officially begun restoring my faith in humanity. My neighbours are more concerned with dog poop on the sidewalks than forming a neighbourhood crime watch. Would you and your neighbours consider exchanging jobs and homes with my family? Just for a decade or so?

smileyj1987

Well OP !!!! I would have given them a few sly kicks and punches .

Tombi!

Am I the only one who actually liked the fact that the OP didn't mention any kind of violence?
I get that we all have the idea of giving a few punches to some scumbag but I like the way it happened with the OP.

So much for the OP "directing the guards". OP is probably in on the whole thing, leading the gardaí away from the two scummers in the tread.

FoxyVixen

Why can't positive news like this be reported on RTE instead of informing us of all the negatives in the world!! Amount of terrible deaths on earlier was depressing. This kinda thing would actually help re-store the faith in people if only for a few minutes before carrying on with their daily lives.

Well done OP and to the community effort put in. Gardai did well getting there so quick.

fergiesfolly

Well done Op. Just thinking. Is the station at LoughGeorge still manned? Would explain their speedy arrival at the scene.

They can't because it encourages vigilante action.
You only hear that people take on criminality and protect their communities when there has been violence used and even then they don't mention the exact crime and circumstances.
