Headline gets
it right on crime
Sir, “Lock them up” headline (Loddon Herald, July 31) should be what happens to these scum bags that think it’s there right to enter our properties and take what ever they like.
If the judges started locking them up instead of giving them a slap on the wrist and letting them out to do it all again, we wouldn’t have such a problem.
Why should we have to spend thousands on security cameras, locks etc. when the system just let’s them back out?
