Need for adequate car insurance as 'feral youths' stalk the streets
Wed, 18 May 2005
Comments about "feral youths" from a leading police officer have highlighted the need for people to ensure they have adequate car insurance cover.
Chief superintendent David Baines has expressed concerns that many of Britain's streets are overrun with out-of-control youths who pose a threat to people and their property.
"We have gangs of young people with alcohol hanging around on street corners being abusive, swearing, intimidating and causing trouble," said Mr Baines, of Greater Manchester Police.
"They are feral, have no parental control or respect for anybody and are often fuelled by alcohol. They don't give a damn about the police or the criminal justice system which they see as a necessary evil."
The senior police officer's comments follow the recent violent attack on a man in Salford who had attempted to stop a group of teenagers from damaging his car.
