another arsonist allowed back on the streets with bail conditions are our laws outdated and not fit for purpose. Once an arsonist always one until lives are changed around.
I used to live in Bromley, what people did was just take out third party fire and theft, dump it somewhere and set fire to it for insurance purposes. Yes, we had joy riders who know how to break into a car.
We had a green card for reporting these crimes and our council were hot on the case of abandoned cars.
Thanet is renowned for arson it will never leave us just makes me sick to know that people think fire is funny!
I was also wondering, if we might see a few business premises in flames. Companies that had not been economically able to cope with the lockdown.
