Friends,
I am asking for your help. Currently the
situation
where I live is very serious, last night a glass bottle was smashed over my
head
and another resident had his head gashed with a belt buckle.
It started with a gang of about 50 youths all
drunk
with some high on other substances damaging property, 2 were apprehended
and the
nice police officers gave them a lift home. This left the area without any
police patrols. It was then the youths decided to congregate and
challenge.
About 4 neighbours and myself tried to ask them to move on, some of
the
gang were also trying to move their friends on. Whilst talking with
one youth, another (extremely spaced) smashed me over the head with a
bottle.
After this I was dazed but couldn't let myself
fall
or I would be attacked on the ground. Discretion is the better part of
valour
and I had to walk away and ask a neighbour to get an ambulance. Fortunately
I
was not too serious but my neighbours, my wife and son were distraught. The
police took some 40 minutes before they returned, the ambulance took a
further
20 minutes.
This all took place last night...
Tonight the cul de sac was scouted by four
suspects
in a car and shot off when they were seen. We believe we are going to be
hit
either tonight or at the weekend, the cars/houses may be
attacked.
I have one color cctv camera, and intend to
buy
some black and white ones tomorrow.
The question is can anyone recommend a good
box
which will :
a. copy all cameras onto single tape at once
i.e.
quarter screen.
or
b. give me some advice. Anything at all would
be
helpful.
I apologise if this email seems fragmented,
but I
am sure you can understand why.
