A GANG of hoodies carried out a “brutal” attack on a teenage boy, leaving him in hospital with a shattered jaw.
The victim, one of three 16-year-olds who were walking through the Canford Heath area of Poole, was surrounded by a gang of up to 20, many of them with faces obscured by hooded tops and scarves.
Without provocation one of them punched the teen in the face with enough force to break his jaw in two places.
The victim has undergone an operation at Poole Hospital.
Det Con Vanessa Moyle said: “This was a cowardly, unprovoked and brutal attack on a teenage boy and I am determined that the offenders will be brought to justice.”
The attack happened around 8.30pm on Friday outside the Ad Astra First School, Sherborne Crescent.
Det Con Moyle said: “The victim was walking in the direction of Adastral Road.”
She is appealing for anyone who witnessed the attack, or saw the large group hanging around in the area, to contact her.
She added: “It may be that the members of this group didn’t realise quite how serious the boy’s injuries were at the time of the incident and I’d urge them to do the right thing and call the police.”
Call Dorset Police on 01202 22 22 22 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Ben - there is indeed a small chance that the canford heath boys didn't do anything to noone and nothing, but I think you've been listening to Karli James, who has the scab on her mouth, and anyway she was making it all up because Denise got caught with her boob out, round the back of the chipshop with Darren Eversly by that pedo what hangs around outside the Haymoor, and besides, you won't even there, so you can't know nuffin about nobody.

These kids don't care about the consequences. They are not tough enough. Not enough is being done to prevent all this as well. Forget ASBO's, remove benefits, housing and dish out community service for repeat offenders and their parents. It starts in the home!

Your grammar is appalling, though I expect you think its big showing off your lack of knowledge. A short while ago I remember a guy died after being hit in the face outside the then One-Stop in Moordown, the perpetrator being one of a gang of youths hanging around outside the shop as they do.The guy was by himself and provoked noone, but that meant nothing to these teenage cowards who duly murdered him for no reason. To date noone has been brought to book for this murder I dont think, but pls correct me if Im wrong.Isnt it about time the police did what they are paid {highly} for and catch these antisocial violent misfits before theres another murder, or is that too much for them?

At the end of the day the parents should take some sort of responsibility, and that includes being punished if their off-spring should get into trouble, but that will probably go against their human rights, so won't happen.bentaylor wrote: kin hell wat the **** are you on about ,, your tryin to give canford heath a bad rep wen u dnt even know wat happend wen infact it was all the bourne estate boys that came down and decided they wud go on a rampage and hit any1 dinlo"bentaylor", dont you think you should either learn english, or go back to school and actually learn something there?

butlincat wrote:You are both singing from the same hymn sheet really. I see both your points. I agree though, the problem starts in the home. With the age of criminal responsibility being 10, the parents couldn't be liable surely. There should be a collective responsibility clause introduced so that parents can be partly liable for their children's crimes.

Also Ill go £50 with mikesview to tempt someone to give info that leads to an arrest. I hope one of them is reading this comment list and responds.butlincat wrote:The problem with the last part of that comment is the Police can't stop a youth murdering someone, as you can't lock someone up for something they haven't done!

How brave they are to attack a someone when they are in a gang.
