Police tow away burger van

Police stepped in to tow away a fast food van which was becoming a magnet for vandalism.

It is not known exactly how long the van had been abandoned in Ferry Hinksey Road, but officers had the damaged vehicle removed yesterday.

Thames Valley Police spokesman Toby Shergold said: "We were concerned about it being a target for antisocial behaviour and it was raising health and safety issues, so we had it removed. We have tried to find the owners - but have so far had no luck."

Anyone with information should call Oxford police on 08458 505505.

Whoever abandoned this van is bound to face a grilling when caught by the Police.

Perhaps the owners had had their chips?

Wos going on?

That was not an abandoned burger van; it was the new affordable housing provided by the OCC City.

Where are the communication skills these days?

"We were concerned about it being a target for antisocial behaviour and it was raising health and safety issues" .

This is jargon ! Can somebody translate it into plain English ? What do they actually mean ?
