were stopped and abandoned, I'm told, and looters were laying siege to
Lynne's Electrical, jewellery and pawn shops, the Carphone Warehouse,
Foot Locker and later M&S and finally Argos, and that's all that I
heard. Others will have been done, although the Turkish supermarket was
apparently left alone.The pie and mash shop in the sidestreet of
Westmoreland Road was also entered and trashed
Young men,
90% of them black, and the occasional middle-to-old aged black woman,
then spent the next hour or so running through the sidestreets with
their pickings, the first of them with widescreen TVs, boxes that
contained kettle-sized electrical goods, trainers and the like from Foot
Locker, and M&S clothing. A white 20-something one with a bad limp
came to the door of the bar to ask them to call him a cab. The request
was declined.
Some of the looters dumped gear in nearby gardens
and returned to the Walworth Road, others had filled wheelie bins with
whatever and were pushing them home, while the professionals returned to
the double-parked cars (BMWs and the like, tinted windows in at least
two cases) before replacing their masks and returning for any pickings
they may have missed. |
