lenchIn 1976 Phil Lynott told us “Tonight there’s gonna be jailbreak”. Little did residents of Moseley know that only 33 years later this prophecy would come all too shockingly true.

Although details of Thursday’s daring prisoner escape are still a little bit patchy it would appear that hardened criminals decided to release themselves in downtown Moseley. The biggest question that is praying on the minds of residents is how 10 coppers managed to arrive in 15 cars. The implication certainly appears to be that some arrived in cars and then walked back to the police station to gather more cars. Nobody quite understands what tactical advantage the police received through this application of resources but it provided an excellent opportunity to practice advanced parking.

It seems that the prisoners somewhat literally took shelter in Lench’s Trust sheltered housing scheme. Unable to blend in with the geriatrics they were quickly aprehended.

plThe police released a statement yesterday that said, “under caution one of the prisoners told us,  I can hear the hound dogs on my trail, All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail, Like the game if you lose, Go to jail”

Chilling words.
