i think it's the lads who go around collecting the bags of clothing for "charity" - apparently competition is fierce, lads getting bet up and all for the sake of a few bags of rags!

There was quite a bit of stuff stolen in my estate over a couple of nights last week, whether it is the same source or not I don't know. Anything that could be sold on was taken from outside - and teh back of - about six houses, so presumably it was a van that was used anyway.

I doubt it would be them as they will likely only visit once. I've seen them go in and out of my estate quite quickly around 4:30am.

If people could please give a proper description of the van;

Make\Model
Possible year or reg no. even a partial reg
No of passengers on boards and descriptions of same

Day, date, Time where it was observed

The housing estates it's been spoted in?

Arciphel · 17-06-2009 2:52pm

The one I saw was a ford transit, dark/navy blue, northern ireland reg i think, van looked about 10-15 years old. I male driver, caucasian, late twneties-early thirties, about 5-10 to 6 foot tall i would guess, medium build, short black hair (shaved) with a bit of stubble.

hugejeans · 17-06-2009 3:05pm

If anyone can try get a reg number it can be looked into.

What estates was it seen in?

Pineapple stu · 18-06-2009 11:41pm

Its Bill and Ben the flowerpot men

daymobrew · 22-06-2009 2:05pm

I saw a tall blue Ford Transit in Riverwood this morning, around 9:30am.
<snip> (though this reg is not valid - I either made a mistake or it is a fake). Two males in van, lock on back doors.

The presence coincides with a 'charity collection' leaflet that was dropped in the door on Friday or Saturday.

Whatever about describing vans, please don't post reg numbers unless it's your own vehicle or you have seen it being used in the course of a crime being committed. Thanks.

Saw it today....it's picking up bags of clothes.........

this is an excellant description......... how do ye guess how tall they were, sitting in a van and in the dark and how can you only think it was a ni number yet know he had stubble and i can only assume the van had acne

roadrunner 1 · 25-06-2009 10:47pm

this really is a mad thread has anyone any idea how many "DELIVERY DRIVERS" use blue vans or builders or lscape gardeners, plummers the list goes on. surelly this thread should have started out as a community alert without stating vehicles as in truth you have no idea its anything to do with it. what if yer man is picking people up for work ye will have him linched if ye do get a number i would let the guards have it rather than post it

i do hope yer crime spree ends
good luck

thomasjad · 26-06-2009 4:32pm

well yer man saw it at 09:30... any way, ye proberbly right but just maybe your wrong thats all i am saying. if your right leave it in the hands of the guards posting it is a bit daft as if he/them are members you've just tipped them off that your onto them and if your wrong some poor sod could get his head kicked in

- I can guess how tall they are because i have driven the same van and know how tall i am.

- It wasn't dark when i saw them, it was in the morning.

roadrunner 1 wrote: »

- I am not sure if it was a NI or British numberplate, I only saw the rear yellow reg, but didn't get a chance to see the reg number. I know he had stubble because i saw him as i was driving past and he was looking out his window.

Anyway, was there a point to all this?

roadrunner 1 · 27-06-2009 5:24pm

yes there was your talking rubbish

Zaph · 27-06-2009 5:34pm

Thanks for the warnings, I'm sure the Gardaí are investigating if any crimes have been committed and we'll all be more vigilant in future. I think the thread has now served its purpose so I'm closing it.
