WHAT a terrible shame, when you hear about all the dreadful fighting and killings going on in the world through war and uprisings, that in such a delightful, respectable place like Tavistock, some ridiculously immature young men took it upon themselves to drive around the town on Friday, November 9, between 8pm and 9pm and cause menace.

The driver of a blue car cruising with his window down, allowed his passenger (believed to be male) to light up fireworks (bangers) and hurl them out of his car window at passers-by, missing one person by just inches before exploding.

These are deliberate acts of wanting to cause devastating injury.

If these people are old enough to be driving a car then surely they are supposedly responsible enough not to be acting in such a pitiful, disruptive and brainless manner!
