Anti-lockdown protesters attempted to storm a mobile testing Covid centre which forced its temporarily closure.
https://www.afinalwarning.com/512983.html (Natural News) A U.K. government watchdog has pointed out that British police forces have avoided apprehending criminals during the ongoing pandemic.
Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) said in a report that officers have been writing off various offenses “with no further action.” The report warned that the reduced focus on crime could have a negative impact on victims and trust in law enforcement.

It noted that police officers are now more likely to close a case without even meeting victims because of this. Even worse, some crime reports have been dropped at the first opportunity because of the existing lockdowns.

The former Stourbridge Police Station
Suzanne Webb said the number of officers around Stourbridge High Street had plummeted since the town s police station was closed down in August 2017.
She said that now shops had reopened after lockdown it was crucial that the Stourbridge Neighbourhood Policing Team – currently housed three miles away in Brierley Hill – was relocated back into the town.
