Shocking level of violence - especially the 4 blokes onto 1 assault.

Anyone see the update? - did they get much feedback?

I dont know but those two guys who did that guy over in his flat were bloody animals

Poor guy

Yes the feedback was excellent. Several repeated names. Terrible assault. DL

In fact Feedback was live of course and after the big Kent robbery. There was a brief mention but really along the lines of "if we need you we'll ask next month". What a lost opportunity to ask for help within hours of it happening.....

That assault made me feel sick... The way they kicked and stamped on his head was just barbaric... It's a f*****d up world we live in.....

Aye - that Newport assault was horrible - i was surprised the guy survived. I hope they get the 4 blokes.

GrollySTI

Yeah - when he said he'd given a false pin I thought 'Good one mate' - then when he explained that one of them stayed in the flat whilst the other went to the cash point I thought 'U Oh' - things are gonna get nasty.

Plus - why did they turn the water on in the bath?

I was more intrigued by the cash-in-transit robbery they showed (The Wirral) - they made it all black & white & grainy, then Fiona said afterwards that they couldnt show what they done to the security guard because it was 'horrific' - that bad they couldnt even describe what it was.

I suspect i dont really want to know what they did to the guy, but still curious all the same!

David Lock

They didn't chop his wrist off to get the money box did they??? Are these things linked to a wrist holder??

oobster

I think, technically speaking, it would have been his hand they chopped-off - i don't think you can chop someone's wrist off!

Pedantic, i know.

Could be though - although that is fairly horrific, i got the impression that it was worse than that.

Still doesn't give any clues on the Crimewatch website:

The men were armed with a scaffold pole, which had a lump hammer attached to the end of it, and a second, larger lump hammer which had distinctive yellow tape wrapped around it. The men were dressed predominantly in black and all wore either balaclavas or scarves around their faces to conceal their identities. One robber was wearing fluorescent yellow trousers. They demanded the bank cashier give them more money and, when she refused to do so, they bundled the security guard outside. After horrific actual and threatened violence they departed in the stolen white van, driving a short distance to Park Drive, before swapping to the stolen BMW they had left parked there.
