Please share to help !!
Hello everyone. We never thought we would have to post this after having the shop for 16 years. We have had scary experiences in the past but not to this extent. This person st*le alcohol from shop around 2:15pm. He came back to shop again around 4:35pm, because my daughter and 2 other minors were in the shop, Gee refused him entry in shop. What happened afterwards is hard to explain.
The first the we called police was at 101. To report the initial th*ft. Around 14:15
The second time we called the police was through 999 at 4:30pm to explain everything in the video but received no help from anyone.
We were forced to call 999 a third time to inform the police that if he is still around shop and if he will come back to shop I have no choice but to defend myself and my family. This was because he was walking on flint walk bragging about the fact that he’s already known to police and he will knock Gee’s teeth out of her mouth. At this point, I was hoping someone from police will arrive, however, hope was not enough.
We had to call 999 around 5:15 again, for the fourth time, to explain he’s outside threatening to “take care” of our whole family and that he will b u rn the shop down.
At 6:16pm we received call from police to check if he’s still around shop😳and told us that our situation was not considered an emergency because police is busy somewhere else and he was not “on scene” at the time of this call. This was the message after four phone calls made. We have been told if we want to shut the shop it’s up to us. Our safety has been thrown into our own hands. That’s coming from POLICE. I had to stand outside for hours so we could shut the shop and go home.
We kept open today hoping POLICE will come around to see if we are all right( nobody arrived till 8pm).
Considering the primary school in front , whole family and staff working in the shop, we cannot risk anyone’s life nor livelihood. We never asked anyone for any favour in last 16 years. we are requesting everyone to share so we can reach the right people before anything bad happens to anyone🙏🏽🙏🏽
