A gang of youths have been caught on CCTV trying to vandalise someone’s Nantwich home.
And the group of around eight, aged around 12-13, appear to threaten neighbours with a home-made spear and rocks when residents confronted them.
This image has the youths’ faces blurred, which we are obliged to do for ethical reasons, despite the clear public interest in identifying them.
However, clear images of their faces have been handed to police by homeowner, John McMillan.
John said: “The damage was stopped thanks to the intervention of two decent locals – even though one of them was threatened by one of the kids with a homemade spear and another with a rock.
“The kids eventually ran off when two more adults arrived.
“The police are now involved and have the CCTV.
“Hopefully, if they’re your kids you’ll be getting a knock on the door sometime soon. Many thanks to the locals who intervened.”
The youths were filmed trying to pull apart a retaining wall around the homeowner’s garden.
“It’s slightly worrying as it’s made up of large fist sized rocks, throwable.
“The main thing was when they were approached their reaction, foul-mouthed and threatening.
“Somebody has told me they’re pupils at Malbank. Their actions are all in high-def CCTV.”
It’s not confirmed they are Malbank students, but we have contacted both Cheshire Police and Malbank School for comments, and await replies.
I’m guessing the still image makes it look a lot worse than it was. The old guy hardly looks scared.
Two points. 1 Why mention the school when you do not know which school these kids attend? It is not the school’s fault, it is the fault of the useless parents who cannot / will not control their kids. 2 Kevin Wood does not know what he is talking about either in terms of discipline or uniform.
Malbank has a terrible discipline record. Just look at the joke of a uniform, what a shabby disgrace.
The same parents who’ll bleat when their feral offspring suffer a beating.
This is what happens when you just build build build. A place gets infested with undesirables.
Well done those adults, parents take note, these hoodies are now the uniform of the feral youth, it is your responsibility to know where your delinquent offspring are, and teach them some discipline epic fail on your part will only lead to a wasted life for them, you should feel really proud
Wow those parents did a great job of raising their kids. Must be really proud
