Aggressive Begging AGAIN!
Sick of the Beggars posted on the 28/01/2013 11:35:15 PM
Just a word of warning if you are around the Bellgrove Street or Gallowgate area. A bunch of drug addicts on crutches are harassing people around this area. I've had it the last couple of days at 9am. Weird thing is, they look like heavy drug addicts but they speak rather posh and well-to-do. Some guy today asked me for a fiver for the "bus" home. I said "No" and he let out a big Kenneth Williams style shocked gasp and tried to put his hand in my jacket - "YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING!!". I managed to grab his yellowing hand away and he started screaming for some reason in a very camp way. It was utterly bizarre. Just strange. Started screaming even though he was the one that tried to put HIS hand into my pocket. I managed to dive on my bike and cycle away. Just watch out. A bunch of oddballs are about.

Things like this definitely ought to be reported this to the police.
For the record, the London Road Police number is 0141 532 4600 (24hr).

This is frightening and also very close to where I live. Im already having problems with people hanging about my close. Sick of Beggars, did you report this to the police?

Didn't phone them, but emailed the local community police guy.

Haven't even contacted me back and I've e-mailed the top guy for the area.

Thats strange, I emailed the community police officer and got a reply within 48 hours. Id maybe call London Road directly.

I'd DEFINITELY call London Road directly.
If ALL incidents don't get properly reported, the area won't get the resources that it needs and deserves.

Still not contacted me back and I've sent two fairly long emails.

yes, S.O.B please call them directly. I might give them a call myself as this is really worrying me

Saw him and his buddy walking down Abercromby Street yesterday. I'll be phoning the police today, I'm not getting an answer the other way.
