Residents of Harlow Please do not be surprised This is Harlow Harlow has been a violent town for over 30 years & so so much does not get reported Just don’t be surprised / shocked
Not shocked or surprised, just bitterly disappointed and praying for health to the victim… if there are a lot of Pokice about as has been reported I think my prayers have gone unanswered 💔
At least HTS have done a good job recently in clearing the undergrowth along the embankment, which must have made the forensic science team's job a lot easier.
When Harlow was built it was safe enough to leave babies in prams outside shops up the town. Look what our country has become 😞. I worry so much for our children.

Very true Deborah Harlow was safe
A pack of feral youths no doubt. Fed up with this crap. Prayers for the vicim and their family and friends.
Bring back national service.
harlow like everywhere ravaged by crime and lawlessness. this is because we have no real government for past 30 years. taxes increase while services decrease. only going to get worst. so called rich developed country doesnt even have jail spaces. no wonder crime rife. its a shame as harlow is such a nice place, nice parks rivers and very well located. just shows you that you can live in a nice place but often the people make the place.
you see the youth sitting around scratching thier a*** in the town centre waiting for someone to hand them a living. wanting everything on a plate and when they dont get it, its blame the world. go out and make things happen! build a career! wheres the work ethic!
Sorry to the families of the victims. More follows
@john. those are students. on break.
I moved here from London 16 yrs ago I moved to get away from violence on my door step But tbh I wish I hadn’t bothered This little town is terrible Not enough is being done at all I hope they lock them up and throw away the key But tbh the police seem scared of them and turn too many blind eyes I can’t wait to move away again Violence is everywhere I know that But this is just rediculous My heart goes out to the families of these victims Nd if your child teen is involved don’t hide them I’d tell the police and get them locked up because I’m sorry but they are pieces of crap 💩 But then they learn this violence from somewhere and most times this starts at home !!
