Dog Mess hurled at boat crew from Devils Elbow bridge.
On Monday 6th August a work  boat on the Essington and Wryley canal  was attacked by a group of youths from atop of the Devils elbow bridge.
The four youths pictured above appeared to be in their early teens were on bikes when they catapulted the boat as is was passing beneath the bridge. A member of the crew was hit on the hand in the first instance and on their return journey the same four hurled a bag of dog poo at the steerer and hit him in the face.
This image was captured shortly after the incident and while it’s not very clear, if you have any idea who this group are we would urge to you to contact the police on 101.

Update: I am pleased to have learnt that the youths who caused the problems on Monday have been identified by West Midlands Police and are being “dealt with”.

Steph Jennings I have nearly always lived in Wednesfield, I moved away briefly but missed the sense of community and so swiftly moved back! I honestly believe Wednesfield has more to offer than the residents often give it credit for and wanted to do something to redress the balance of negativity around where we live. Working for a media company using the internet and social media as a marketing tool I had the skills and passion to help set up WV11.co.uk so did!
