I’m sure this poor victim currently believes Warrington is the worst town to live in!
The various local new pages seem to be reporting a lot of unprovoked attacks, raids and break in’s at the moment. along with repeated warnings about increased crime in the Warrington South Area. I just hope that because of the ‘unfair’ report that Warrington has received by the Audit Commission and the national press such reports are not stiflled as it is something we all need to be aware of and to be on guard against.
I hope the chap makes a full and speedy recovery and that his attackers are caught and charged to the highest degree !!!!!!!
