Yeah of course Police. Someone will offer info from how many days ago?
Assaulted? No way! Not at woody’s! I do wish him a speedy recovery though – sad times.
@ mixitup…earlier reports indicate that it DID NOT HAPPEN at Woodys…..word is …he was dropped there….
Wasn’t there an earlier report that the victim might have been dropped off at Woody’s by way of a boat? Come one! Isn’t there more to this story?
Woody’s seems to be a bit of a centre for criminal acts….
Perhaps a good idea would be to install CCTV coverage around there….?
Oh, wait, there’s no money, right. Where did it all go?
Why not ask you-know-who? Well, it might be considered a “plantation question”, so plan “B” could be to ask the lady who signed the checks!
Don’t hold your breath waiting for a response…be like the “promised” mid-term and pre-budget #s. The silence says it all…
Talking of silence, where’s Laverne? Perhaps dusting off her CV and going to job interviews?
Maybe the Police should have asked everyone who was there? !!
That would have been a Bright IDEA
But no as usual They didn’t and because the situation is serious , they now want to act on this.
PATHETIC
THERE IS CCTV AT WOODYS, THEY DO HAVE IT ON CAMERA SHOWING HE WAS ASSAULTED AT WOODYS. ASK YOUR SOMERSET POLICE OFFICERS. THEYLL TELL YOU.
THE PAPER NEVER REPORTS THE TRUTH…..TAKE EVERYTHING REPORTED WITH A GRAIN OF SALT UNLESS STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE.
A head injury! OMG. I hope this young man isn’t brain damaged. These idiots have really done it now.
