Use CCTV to catch wrongdoers
• CONCERNING your report (Thieves steal from crash-help mother, December 11), there are cameras all along Camden High Street and it is used by most of the shops including the post office so surely one of the cameras would show the accident and the thief moving in to steal the handbag from the buggy.
I thought this was the whole point of CCTV. The police spokeswoman’s response is poor. She may as well have shrugged her shoulders and said “whatever”. Likewise the other week there was a small item about a dreadful incident on High Holborn.
A cyclist punched an 80-year- old after he shouted at him for going through a red light on a pedestrian crossing.
The man fell and broke his arm. This is grievous bodily harm as far as I’m concerned.
I suspect the 80-year-old victim will never be the same.
There must be CCTV in this area too. Please publish the attacker’s picture so we can try to identify him.

• OUTRAGE – following the recent mugging of a pregnant woman in Camden – is in danger of becoming an overcooked word, but many people besides me must have been shocked when they read that Sarah Neilsen, a Good Samaritan mother helping a seriously injured victim of a road traffic accident, had her bag stolen while she was calling an ambulance.
Might the CNJ start a fund to make good her loss? I enclose a contribution to start it off. It may be too much to hope the rat (an insult to the four legged variety) who stole her bag, or the passers by outside Camden High Street post office who witnessed the theft but did nothing might help, but perhaps other CNJ readers will?
