    It was, until some little scumbags ran amok. I live around the corner and had my tires slashed (not one, but two) around the same time. I'm led to believe it's the same scumbags in question.

    Also, they're minors so they won't be named.

    Putting in CCTV is all well and good, but only if it's monitored. Very hard to identify someone in a hoody.

    What on earth is going on in the Beechpark and Beechpark West area ? - I remember the area as quiet, safe and peaceful. A really nice area to live in.

    You must be joking. Fires and thieving of bicycles as well as damage to houses and cars and also shoplifting. Some of them looked outwardly respectable but they were absolute knackers.

    I'd love to know the full story behind it and to have some hints at who the characters who were involved were. I think the events were real enough. I remember us being warned in school (Marist Primary) not to get involved. Not sure what year it was, but it must be getting on for almost 40 years ago now.....

    I heard of one guy who was supposed to have lost his memory. The priests were going around visiting houses of those involved.
