I had to nip to the shops about an hour ago to get some migraine tablets (the joys) and when walking back saw a group of teenagers (13-15) stood behind the shops with a small fire going.
As another group of kids walked past two of them set fire to some newspaper and started chasing the other children with it. They ran off and we're not injured.
I debated for a while and called 101 to report this however the police officer who answered the phone was less than helpful.
He told me the fire would probably go out by itself and as nobody had actually been hurt it wasn't really a matter for the police.
He made me feel like an absolute time waster for calling but I wasn't sure what else to do.
So AIBU to expect the police to help prevent crime as well as just dealing with the repercussions?
