atomic-cortina Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Just got this through my e-mail and I know that a few of my friends have too. The idiots of this world make me sick. > PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A JOKE BUT A VERY SERIOUS NOTICE FROM THE POLICE. WHAT IN HEAVENS NAME IS OUR SOCIETY CURRENTLY EXPERIENCE. Do please take care. Re: DANGER WARNING TO CAR DRIVERS ! The following serious warning was received this morning - please read and pass it on to anybody you know. Security Warning - We have received a warning from the London Ambulance Service of activities in their area. Whilst the below behaviour is not common place in our area I have spoken with Greater Manchester Police and their risk assessment of the action is to circulate it as a potential' The London Ambulance service have units closely associated with the Police based in South London who are basically Fighting Gang Crimes. The 'street gangs' in London (particularly South London at present, but it is sure to spread) have initiation tasks which new gang members have to carry out to be admitted to the 'gang'. The latest craze is to drive around, deliberately with no lights on their cars. The first person who 'flashes' them, points at them or sounds their horn at them, has to be followed by that new gang member in their car, who then has to fire a shot into that vehicle with no regard as to who is inside. Our official instruction is that if we see a vehicle with no lights on, we are NOT to 'flash' it etc. and the advice to friends and family is that you should ignore any vehicles you see without lights. I would ask that you pass this info on to all your family, friends and colleagues and who knows, it may save a life.

johnny_h Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Simple answer, just shoot anyone without lights. Attack is the best form of defence.

Twinkle Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 i can safely tell you that this is officially a fake email. IT HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED BY BOTH THE POLICE AND THE AMBULANCE SEREVICE AND IS FAKE! i know this for a fact through work so do not panic. we were notified about it through our security departement as we often work in the london ambulance area. for those that dont know me i am a paramedic in kent and can assure you no one has been actually involved or treated by LAS in anything like the above situation. if you recive the mail just delete and please do not forward it on as it will just make things worse if people beleive it,
Joe-ashtonmobile Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 it has happened around where i live
atomic-cortina Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Posted January 12, 2008 I don't know how long it's been going around or whether it's fake or not. Thought I'd post it in case!!
