Saw something similar a few weeks ago with the police having to intervene - seems really strange.

47 year-old Amidu Koroma has now been charged with arson with intent to endanger life and murder.
Amidu Koroma is accused of murdering his wife Mariam Kamara, 46, at a property in Railton Road on 24 January 2022.
A post-mortem examination found she had allegedly been stabbed eight times, with two fatal wounds to the neck and face.
The absence of smoke in her lungs suggested she died before the fire started, it is claimed.
The Jan 24 fire on Railton Road was allegedly a husband's attempt to cover up his murder of his wife.
A man has been charged with stabbing his wife to death and setting their home on fire, a court has heard.

The area around Brixton Station Road seems to be getting grimmer and grimmer these days. People don't even try to hide the stuff they've just nicked from the local shops."A few more police...in the next couple of weeks" - clear and measurable deliverable there.
The same 'boycott' group or the original incident you think?
People travelling from north London to shoplift in Brixton seems crazy. I guess maybe it's a drugs x shopping trip.Also, this makes grim reading.

Rommel McKoy's mother, Karen, told the Evening Standard that she had accompanied him to an interview at Merton College for a science and engineering course earlier on the day that he was stabbed to death.
She said: “He was so happy, he was going to study his dream course of science and engineering.
“He had his whole life ahead of him. We got home and he said ‘I’m just going go to check my friends’ and that’s the last I saw of him.
“I’m devastated - he wanted to be an engineer or scientist. He was so kind and thoughtful and intelligent. His friends loved him. He was calm but so ambitious. He wanted to do so well in his career that he could buy me a house by the time he was 25.
“I don’t know how I can get over this. I can’t believe he has gone, we are devastated. His 11 year old sister and older brother are finding it hard to cope. He was never in any trouble, he was a good boy.”
Rommel McKoy was a pupil at City Heights Academy in Tulse Hill.
A 17-year-old boy has now been charged with his murder and appear in custody at Bromley Magistrates’ Court later today.

Understand this ChrisSouth :
It's not the most disadvantaged but despite the recent gentrification, there's still plenty of people struggling to stay afloat. A few years ago it was registered as the most deprived ward in Lambeth.

I've seen the phrase used of the High Street c1900 when there were several department stores Morleys, Bon Marche and Quin & Axtens. The sub-editor got a bit carried away.
