[RBS] Police Stations Failure to Respond During an Emergency

[Susan Reuben]

This is unbeliveable - I also thought the police were supposed to be a 24hr 
service.  A few days ago my neighbour went walking early in the morning at 
around 6am and she saw 3 Arabs. 1 was walking around the building, and the 
others poking into the garbage outside.  Baruch Hashem it was nothing more 
than that, but she called the police to inform them - loads of  times - and 
...there was NO REPLY!!!  so, all the activists out there; what do we do 
about this?
