We Caught Vandals Smashing Up Cars Wile Owner Of This Abandoned Scrap Yard is In Prison.. !

Ойын-сауық

This video was filmed back In May 2023… the site was still very secure then and the main gate was padlocked shut. Unfortunately due to someone posting the exact location on social media it has now fallen victim to criminals…
In 2021 the DIRECTOR of a former car salvage company was jailed over unsafe forklift trucks and structural safety at his business. He failed to comply with HSE enforcement notices served to protect the health and safety of workers and visitors to the site. The site is still completely full with cars, tools, machines as if they just got uo and walked away.. which they pretty much did! Wile we were half way through filming we were made aware of a couple of suspicious lads.. we decided to fall back and wait around to aee who they were.. but it wasn’t long before they started smashing windows and causing untold amounts of damage to the cars. We decided to keave but as we walked around to the front of the site we spotted a plolice car at the main gate!

    It's a shame . But I understand colin posts loads of places up and making bank imstoke is doing his best making penny's and colin telling him to take down videos he not happy posting . In theory nobody should be posting peoples personal stuff but at same time it's nice to say they history of these forgotten places . Then there is that worrying footage that colin has done a naughty that obviously hasn't been posted but if this issue escalated it might get out .

    I know the site well, used to buy parts from it when it was operational. It was indeed an old-school site with cars stacked on top of each other, you can see where some have been pushed over since it closed. Sadly the local vandals got in there pretty early, took all the Cats off the cars and then just smashed things up. There's talk of redeveloping the site and converting the old railway track that runs through the site into a cycleway.

    Rusty Sprinter vans - there are lots of 20-plate examples around that look about 20 years old. It's surface rust caused by paint damage that eats through the metal. DPD and Amazon Prime couriers use Sprinters up to 2 years old and they are particularly battered with bits fallen off.

I remember when i was at school did out wrong the cane came out then it made you think twice of doing it again. Its all these do gooders taking any orthoraty away from parents and teachers,my old man was ex army and i was kept in place when ever i got out of line, which wasn't very often 😆, av had m8's with kids still at school and the little buggers turn wround & say to them,hit me & I'll report you,kids now have the upper hand bloody serious.

    Firstly I have to say, what disgusting individuals they are, is there any need for that? They need to be taught some respect. Secondly, never nice to see cars rotting in a scrapyard, but again it’s also a very interesting place as each car has a story to tell. However, even though those cars can’t be saved, maybe they can be saved via parts. Great explore.
