Do they have permanent encampments, then? I know someone back in Bourmemouth that recently drove to confront a boy that had stolen several items from the beach. He was rebuked by the community who explained that they didn't know who the boy (that was in one of the caravans) was or where he had come from. The boy hit his car with an iron bar, smashing the rear windscreen and taking off 1 x wing mirror.

The local constabulary were informed and they were unable to locate the boy and none of the inhabitants of the camp were aware of the incident that had taken place but 30 minutes previously.
