Car crime on the rise bank closure - page 05
By James Fletcher
Vehicle crime is on the rise. Another incident was reported in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Residents of Worrall claimed they heard a crash in the early hours of Wednesday as a car ploughed into the bus stop on Haggstones Road just outside the recently closed Worrall post office, with the occupant of the vehicle nowhere to be seen. It is rumoured that this incident was the result of drunk or drug driving but with the rise of car theft in the surrounding areas seems to be happening more and more, this could’ve just been a joy rider who lost control of the car and fled the scene. A spokesman from the South Yorkshire Police stated, “This was a damage-only collision with no injuries reported so as per our service level agreement we won’t be providing anything else at this moment in time.”
In the month of January 2023, four car thefts and incidents were reported to the police in the Oughtibridge and Worrall area which have since been closed with no one being brought to justice, and this incident just adds to this statistic. A resident posted the picture of the incident on social media and people flooded the comments, claiming that they had seen the car racing around and another claiming that the licence plate was stolen. Another incident was reported in Stocksbridge. A resident spotted a group of hooded men engaging to try and steal a white van in the late afternoon of Sunday, fortunately, the group failed to make it away with the van. It goes to show how brazen thieves are becoming when they no longer feel as though they have to work under the cover of the night.
