They dumped the car right near my house!!. I was at the station at 7.30 and just missed it, but there was still blood all over the floor. It's crazy, Rayleigh is a quiet little town, and shit like this happened. I thought getting my car nicked , then my BMX was bad !!!


POLICE believe a man shot by armed raiders had been trying to help security guards who were being robbed.

Detectives said the victim - who has not been named but is in his 20s - suffered serious injuries in the incident in Station Road, Rayleigh.

Two robbers attacked two security guards loading a cash machine at Rayleigh railway station shortly after 7am, said a spokesman.

advertisementThe man, who lives locally, was injured when the raiders opened fire shortly afterwards.

Police sources said officers were trying to verify reports that the man was shot as he attempted to intervene and help the security guards.

Officers said the two robbers made off in a white Ford Escort car which was later found abandoned.

They believe the pair probably got into another vehicle after dumping the Escort.

Police have not said whether any cash was snatched during the raid.

A spokesman said the security guards were not seriously hurt.

Yep I see her most mornings.....at the station 7.30 ish.
I don't see why we should get it, I hate the idea of battening down the hatches and living in a fortress, but I reckon you are right
I normally walk my dog from 6-7am down eastcheap and into the park!! good job I woke up late this morning.
I reckon you should get some big gates for your house. I just ordered mine from Daws Heather Timber, big fat double ones....expensive but worth it
Oh and you can borrow my dog for extra security.

Ahh wondered what was going on down there.

Silly fooker for getting involved though, bollocks to putting your life in danger over someone else's money/property.

I hope he is ok, I think he may have been trying to help the other people more than stop the robbers ?
I have only been to RAYLEIGH once, nice Police station!!
