A friend of ours has told us about something nasty they saw at Rayleigh Station last Wednesday between 6:30 and 7:00 pm:<\/p>\n

“There were two groups of ‘youths’ gathering there, one about 20-strong, one of about 8 individuals. They were wearing hoodies and scarves but none looked older than about 16.
\nThey were carrying items that could be used as weapons, like pieces of wood. There was some fighting, and one kid was beaten …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was reportedly on platform 2 and must have been quite intimidating for people arriving home from work. We wonder if the parents of the youths know what they were up to. If you know anything about this, let us know (by email or as a comment here) and we will pass your information on to the police.<\/p>\n

UPDATE Weds 8th. The Echo has a report today here.<\/a> Here’s part of it:<\/p>\n

Detective Constable Dave Rabbit, from British Transport Police, said: ?It appears a group of about seven teenage boys, travelled from Wickford to Rayleigh where they were met by a group of about 20 other males of a similar age. <\/p>\n

?An altercation took place on the platform, after which the smaller group got on a train. <\/p>\n

?They are thought to have disembarked at Hockley.? <\/p>\n

The fight took place at 6:45pm last Wednesday. Anyone with information can call 0800 405040 and quote incident number 503 of April 1. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
