Dear All,
For once, a serious message: I have received a warning at the London
Ambulance Service and have been asked to pass on the information to all
our
families and friends.
The LAS have units closely associated with the Police 'D.A.R.E.' squads
based in South London who are basically fighting Gang Crimes. The
'street
gangs' in London (particularly South London at present, but it is sure
to
spread) have initiation tasks which new gang members have to carry out
to
be admitted to the 'gang'. The latest craze is to drive around,
deliberately with no lights on their cars. The first person who
'flashes'
them, points at them or sounds their horn at them, has to be followed by
that new gang member in their car, who then has to fire a shot into that
vehicle !!! with no regard as to who is inside.
Our official instruction is that if we see a vehicle with no lights on,
we
are NOT to 'flash' it etc. and the advice to friends and family is that
you
should ignore any vehicles you see without lights.
I would ask that you pass this info on to all your family, friends and
colleagues by phone or e-mail, and who knows, it may save a life!
Its a lovely world we live in, isn't it.
I found this on another forum I visit and have no reason to believe its untrue.....you never know :shock:
