Today we have had the pleasure to help one of our older local Veterans...
An Ex Grenadier Guard in his 80s , was very horribly bullied out of £50 , in his own home, by 2 nasty pieces of work ...
Following him into his house after he had watered his plants , they tried to force him into buying some stolen goods, fearing for his own safety he gave them £50 to get rid of them ...
We have been happy to replace that money for him 🫡
