"When I'm driving around at night past cashpoints I see people getting robbed," he added. "The police need to up their game." Image caption, The Met Police called the shooting "an appalling act of violence" and appealed for witnesses to come forward At the scene By Victoria Bourne, BBC News People who live and work in this part of Ilford have expressed dismay and shock at a shooting taking place in a residential area. Several businesses said they were used to drug problems and violence but were fearful that this had now escalated to include the use of guns. People living on Henley Road told me that they initially thought the gunshots overnight were fireworks as many locals had been celebrating Diwali. There is still a large police cordon in place around Henley Road while forensic teams work outside the property. Speaking at the scene, Insp Dave Holgate said his thoughts were with the families following the "appalling act of violence" and appealed for witnesses."We understand that the community will quite rightly be shocked by this horrific incident, and we share in their concerns. "However, I can assure that my dedicated colleagues are working at pace to collect evidence and identify the suspects."

He said their numbers had been "cut over successive governments" and insisted that "we have to make sure we get the police here". "I made that plea to the new Metropolitan Police commissioner only last week and he agrees that we need more police," he said. "I think sometimes these things build up over time and that's where the police is needed to stop that building up over time and I think if we could get that we would be in a better place", he added. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 @Premi Is it a big deal? Gang warfare has been going on since before my grand-dad got here. That happened not far from where that Singh stabbed those 3 freshies to death too. So our lot still got a bigger body count......... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
