Two men with a van "looking for scrap" in a well known Orwell boatyard today.

The Police had warned the boatyard owner a few days ago and sure enough he had to see off two men who had trespassed onto his premises "looking for scrap" today.

Lock your gear up.

Moderators please note that I did not use the "t.......s" word or the "p....." word.

Thanks for tip.

As for "please note that I did not use the "t.......s" word or the "p....." word" ...... What about the "d......" word?

Also, have you noticed that - as in this case - the local people often have to take them on, but the police daren't? (ducks & runs for cover)

People laugh at the fact I have a full IP cctv system fitted to my Fairline and an alarm system. This makes me feel a little more secure :cool: lol

Is your CCTV certified to be of evidential quality? If not, you've wasted your time and money... My car was broken into a few years back at a National Rail car park. CCTV had only just been installed, and BT Police could not use the recordings as evidence so could do nothing, even though they had the appropriate footage available.

Different rules apply for private CCTV installations, and video evidence is admissible.

"Emergency services including East of England Ambulance Service, Suffolk Fire and Rescue and HM Coastguard also attended the incident.

Three fire engines, two from Ipswich east and one from Princes Street, were sent to the scene."

Three ?

How many resources were required to pluck one man out ?

Giving a helping hand to someone at the side of relatively still water - few resources.
If the situation gets worse, you may have to have multiple people enter the water, and trained people holding ropes, and the situation could go from trivial to life threatening very quickly. The casualty could be trapped. unconscious or fighting the rescuers to get away, and turning up in overwhelming numbers lowers the risk of the rescuers becoming casualties themselves.
Also not every person on each crew may be trained for water rescue. You ideally want trained people only - for example if you offer a hand to a drowning man and don't get yourself stable first you could go in yourself.

Middle of the night, quiet time, nothing much else to do, probably turn-out money involved too.
