Sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction. You watch a film like Home Alone and think “how will anyone ever top the wet bandits?”. Years later, you take a looksie at the Liverpool Echo and see that The Jammie Dodger biscuit gang have just been banged up for 11 years.
A gang of thieves yelled ‘anyone want a biscuit?’ after being jailed for pinching £20,000 worth of treats from a Jammie Dodger factory.
The five-strong mob, mostly from Merseyside, drove into Burton Food Factory at Cwmbran, South Wales, pretending to make a legal pick-up, in June 2015.
Police used traffic cameras and mobile phone cell sites to catch the gang who had driven in convoy from Liverpool to South Wales during the plot.
The article doesn’t speculate on whether they were looking to sell the biccies on or just had a serious case of the munchies.
I have no expectation that this thread will be busy. You need crap crims to power it, and they don’t commit utter acts of stupidity every day. However, I do feel like it is _needed _
The Jammie Dodger Biscuit Gang seemed the ideal place to start.
They obviously thought they could make a clean Breakaway_,_ the Fat Rascals_._ Rumour has it they had a Nice plan to hide their stash in Lincoln, and be Rich before they made it home for Tea.
Unfortunately they made a bit of Hobnob of things, and by the time it all caught up with them – there were no Happy Faces.
A few years back Mrs Sog and I were walking through Maidstone at lunchtime when we saw some crims trying to smash a jewellers window with sledge hammers. No one seemed to be doing anything at first but me and another guy went after them and they legged it down the road. They jumped into a van and sped off but we got the number and phoned the Old Bill. I later found out that they got nicked around the corner when they stopped at a red light!!
Crap and slightly tragic. What’s the big fucking earner here? A bonus? Pathetic.
A parking warden has been caught on camera moving a traffic cone next to a parked car - before issuing a ticket because the vehicle was next to it.
The footage shows the warden picking up a ‘parking suspension’ cone, which had been on the pavement next to the car in front of Mr Saunders’, and moving it closer.
He then takes out his pad and writes out the ticket. Mr Saunders, aged 41, said he had been able to confront the officer shortly afterwards.
I actually caught up with him a little later, purely by accident, [as] he was still in the area.
I asked him about what he had done and he said, and I quote: ‘Well you shouldn’t have parked there should you’.
I told him I had recorded him moving the cone, and I was recording him now. That’s when he went mad.
