Mugging

On Sunday, our 16 year old son was mugged when leaving the 207 bus in Acton Central at about 9PM. He was sorrounded by 5 boys who were also leaving the bus. They asked for his wallet and PIN number while threatening to beat him up. He gave them what they wanted and walked away, shaken but not hurt. We have notified the Police.

Are you registered on OWL because this is making it easier for everyone to keep updated on street problems.

The buses have CCTV .... however, I don't know how long they keep the recorded material for so worth checking with TfL etc with precise timing if possible.

I think I shall have a plausible PIN ready for these circumstances.

Thank you for your kind wishes. Yes, son seems to be fine if a bit quiet. Cuts and more cuts to police and youth services took us to where we are... Not good. My post was just to warn kids to be extra careful around that bus stop.

They're increasingly fearless and it will get worse.Ask yourselves how, and why?
