So apparently there's been a bit of a spate of robberies and people on bikes being attacked around Haley Park down to Blackweir by a group of three lads on Surons, kicked as they go past etc. Last night some friends kids had a run in with these three and managed to run off from them, my son wasn't so fortunate, he was riding along and was kicked very hard, this was near the dirt jumps, they then sped off, he encountered them a bit later and one threw a rock the size of your fist at his head, luckily he was wearing a full face lid so only got scratches, he reckons they were about thirteen, although I think there is more than one group involved in what's going on, called 101 etc, just a warning really for anyone local as to what's going on around there at the mo.
That's a 999, not 101!
Hope your lads OK abd doesn't get put off or adversely affected.
Time for Dads to take action!
I was working in Newport a few years back - lads with no helmets on crossers riding on pavements near the rough estate. Actually saw a police car drive past some of them and not bat an eyelid
Cheers for the heads up, planning to do Taffs Trail Jul/Aug 😬
