Belgium – travel warning

[terryW]

The CCC has passed on the following warning

 

"There has been a series of robberies and express kidnappings on or around the E19 motorway connecting Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Ghent, Dunkirk and the Channel Ports – particularly towards the southern end of the route.

 

Perpetrators of these incidents have been using threats of violence and carrying knives and/or firearms. In the early hours they have been flagging down vehicles, seeming to seek assistance, or kidnapping single drivers outside petrol stations or 24-hour stores. The perpetrators have generally been gangs with Eastern European connections, sometimes using UK-registered vehicles. They have been robbing victims on the spot or taking their victims under force to the nearest ATM to extract as much cash as their cards will allow."

Now we know where are policemen have been going when they have a sicknote. They can make more this way than they can here now Cameron has toughened up on police corruption.
