Unwelcome visitors

Update:

Ryan's still in hospital. He has a series concussion and a skull fracture. Hopefully he will be home tomorrow. The has an outpatients appointment on Friday to see a specialist surgeon.

One of the offenders is well known to police, locally and in the wider area. He has been kept in custody, although only 17, due to ore than 40 previous convictions. He has ben charged with Wounding With Intent to Cause Grievous Bodily Harm and Aggravated Burglary. Both carry maximum sentences of 14 years, although he will be unlucky to get more than 5.

A second offender is co-operating with police. He has told them they were on the way to a local Rugby League game and he was told they were stopping off to get some weed.

A third offender has been identified. He is a gang "wanna be a prospect" and he is wanted for several offences including armed robbery. He is on the run drifting from one town to another creating havoc. His involvement gives strength to my belief that a local gang member is using these youngsters to commit offences for him as both youths are linked to hime. The last burglar was also associated to the same gang member. He is soon going to get some added attention from my colleagues.
 
Ryan came home from hospital late yesterday afternoon. He is recovering well.

I finally got around to checking the video recordings on my laptop instead of my phone and was concerned to see one of the burglars was carrying an angle grinder. It may have been capable of breaking into the steel safes (depending on wether they idiots were smart enough to put on a cutting instead of grinding blade) and I was wondering what made them think they needed it. Then I was informed yesterday that the brother of one of the offenders (the one still outstanding) was the person who broke in last year and took all my reloading presses.
