999 or 101 right now?

[Bumbalumba4]

I can hear cars being driven like total arseholes at the local retail park. Somehow they get in there at night (even thought it's gated) & they scream up & down 'donutting' & skidding - quite possibly with cars stolen for the purpose. They're making a terrible racket & it must be dangerous. Should I report it or just ignore? I tried my local 101 but it refers to the online page & you can't detail specifics. Wwyd?

I think 101 , it isn't an emergency as such more possibly dangerous and irritating at this point

you can call 999 if you think lives are in danger by this, do what you feel is right

101 for this.

101 online report if you can't get through on 101.

101 for this. If you stay on the line you should get through

101 I reckon.

101. Anti social certainly , but you won’t get a blue light response for this .

101 unless it escalates and you either fear for someone’s life or property or fear for your own life/property.
If you hear genuine fear shouting/screaming then 999 would be also appropriate.

I'd call 101. If they feel it needs immediate attention they escalate it to a 999 call whilst you are on the line. They did this once when I called them.

When I've dialled 101, the recorded message has said if it's an emergency or "if a crime is in progress" please re-dial 999.

If there’s a possibility the care are stolen it’s 999. I rang the local police station in a similar circumstance and they told me I should have rung 999.

cars not care

999 is not just for ‘emergencies’ - it’s the number to ring if a crime is or may be being committed.

I've contacted the police on twitter before, for non urgent stuff, well sort of concerning more than anything.

I'd probably just turn my telly up if I were you

Tatiana is right.
I was told off for not ringing 999 once when I phoned the non emergency number when I saw a car pull up outside a neighbours without lights in the middle of the night. Guys got out to go to a car (I assumed to steal).
I was told the police had been after these guys for ages and I should always call 999 if a crime is happening or looks like it is likely to be - and there does not need to be a threat to life.

I’d ring 999. The situation is happening right now and they may well be in stolen cars.

There was a massive crash recently when idiots like this ended up driving in to a crowd. Please report it

Wait someone called the police because a car pulled up without lights on?!

you can call 999 if you think lives are in danger

That's not the case. If you think a crime is currently taking place then ring 999.
