There were 15 warrants in Watford, 16 in Dacorum and 10 in Three Rivers.
A large quantity of stolen property and controlled drugs was seized in addition to £18,000 in cash.

No doubt the judge will give the 28 arrested a combined sentence of 3 days community service if any of them are found guilty.
Most of the work the Police do is rendered useless by the idiots in the wigs on the bench and their lefty weak sentences.

Apparently there was a T.W.A.T.T. working alongside a W.A.N.T. looking for a bunch of crooks recently, am I right.
Perhaps they should collaborate with the W estern A rea N eighbourhood K nowledge E ducation R esearch S ociety and they might just come up with something?

Can someone please explain? Isn't this just normal police work or are there other months when they don't execute warrants & arrest people?
