Good cctv shot.

Feckin scumbag. Needs a size 11 to the face that lad. IDE love to see him walking down the road... Oh the satisfaction of calling the plod and watching him be arrested.

Should get him with a mug shot like that. I hope he gets pushed to the floor when he's in prison.

You should take pity on the poor idiot, not realising there was just a tiny chance of CCTV in a bookies shows the top of his spine leads nowhere. I think its intelligence discrimination. Car crusher sounds like a good fix - it will reduce the size of the void where his brain should be..
