Tonight, I witnessed at first hand, the bloody hard job that a police officer has in this, or any other area of the UK.
After I toddled off to get a taxi on Gloddaeth St tonight, a big, hooded bloke barged past me and proceeded to kick the windows in of Vollams Shop. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, and several people just stood around and watched.
Anyhow, he smashed his way inside and the alarm went off.
Within 30 seconds or so, a police car with a solitary officer arrived and he immediately tackled this much bigger (and very violent) bloke as he burst back out of the shattered window.
The tussle continued for a couple of minutes, until other officers (our own PC Mike included) arrived on the scene to subdue and arrest him.
Not a job for the faint hearted... well done to all.
