5 Weeks in east Brum (8 replies)
Last week a guy was mugged a few mins further up the Chester Road from at the cash point, his assailants broke his leg(s) when they drove over him on their escape. There was 1 man stabbed to death in Shard End (not a robbery as some have reported) and 1 in Castle Vale. Less than 2 weeks ago there was an acid and knife attack on a man in the Tesco car park, Fox & Goose.
All of these seemed to be targeted attacks. Gangsterism is moving out of the inner city and taking the suburbs.
That's just all just in one fairly small area of Brum.
It only seems like 5 minutes ago that we were all loved up over the Commonwealth Games.
