6 April - B is not for Blocks, it’s for burglary. R is not for Resin, it’s for rape

Missed Ruined surfaceThis is not just another example of the Steam Cleaning scammers standard of workmanship it gets far more sinister than that.

However before moving on, Photo 1 shows an area where a lone brick had been lying in a corner. They couldn’t be bothered to move it when brushing in the new filler and Photo 2 shows where they left their sticky resin on the surface and it won’t brush off, not to mention the level issue which they promised to fix but didn’t.

However they were the friendliest of guys which is perhaps why I stupidly didn’t question their claim to have bought 42 packs of resin when I only actually saw one empty pack and their van didn’t have enough spare space for more than half a dozen.

Being so friendly I learned that one was the father and the others his sons and their names plus their home town before moving to Bexleyheath. When a personal bank card was presented in a likely tax dodging move I learned the surname too; so a bit of detective work was called for. This is where it gets interesting.Invoice

One is a convicted burglar who absconded from HMP Sudbury three years ago but was found after a month on the run. He also has convictions for aggravated vehicle taking and criminal damage. Not just any old burglar, 21 offences.

I found a photo of them together entering a Court for conspiracy to shoot another family member (an assumption based on surname). The allegations included all of them being armed with pick handles and acid being thrown. Cocaine was involved too. As yet I have been unable to discover if they were found guilty but one of the brothers was discharged because his alibi was sound.

In another episode one of the brothers tied a rope around a woman’s neck and raped her while her child was in the next room. He and an accomplice were given fourteen years. The Judge said there had been “no limits to the depravity” and “it was really most shocking” and found “no mitigation”. The following Appeal was refused. Release came in June 2019 subject to ten years of supervision by the Probation Service.

The violated woman was taken in by, believe it or not, an intended scam which began with a knock on her front door. When the convicts returned to their home town, local residents were incensed especially when faced by rapists armed with a chain saw and iron bar. The Police said the criminals had served their time and were free to live where they liked but the locals succeeded in running them out of town. To Bexleyheath perhaps?

All the foregoing is from press reports, the names match and the home town matches. The men were of distinctive appearance and the photographs match too.

Someone with the same surname, from the same town but not the right age to be one of my scammers was put in the Correction Centre in New York last year for kidnapping and sexually assaulting a young woman in a nightclub restroom.

These people are touring the local streets in a maroon coloured van grossly over-estimating the time and materials needed to do a job and maybe in league with a neighbour for a recommendation and price fix if you have one that is amoral.
