  1. Is there a serial knifeman burgling homes in Ramsgate? There have been a number of reports with similar incidents. If so then people need to know the police are out to catch this guy, and soon.

  2. We’ve had mutiple crashes on my road this week because of people using the route as a race track, someone was beaten senseless outside my house yesterday evening, and now this – armed intruders breaking into homes on the seafront, minutes away from where I live. If this was London (or anywhere in West Kent) there would be door-to-door investigations. I have a friend who lives in Royal Road and she says she hasn’t seen any police followup in the street. I appreciate funding is tight, but bloody hell – can we please prioritise some police presence in Ramsgate!
