Tourer on tonight's Crimewatch

trebor · 1st May 2012, 20:57

Anyone else see the case on tonight's Crimewatch, burgulary went wrong and retired man killed, thugs escaped in a 51 plated tourer, the police say it had a mechanical fault preventing it from going over 30mph, and are appealing for witnesses who overtook it at the time they left the scene

Best look through the forum threads and see if anybody ever had a problem with their tourer not going above 30mph

been a lot about this in the local papers as i work not far the area where the crime took place.items taken as well watches and a silver tea set nothing of a huge value.but obviously of value to the deceased as he probaly lost his life trying to protect his belongings.words fail me at this time i just hope the poor man will rest in peace despite his early demise. as for the perpertators of this despicable crime i think they will be off to somewhere a lot warmer.to them rot in hell
