While Working JJB Sports in Smethwick (Birmingham UK) as a cover Retail Security officer, i got a message over the radio from the control room to look out for a certain IC1 male who was theiving from several stores ( this guys a known Drug Addict) who had underestimated me as I spotted him straight away acting suspicious and decided it was safer for me to ffollow him (at a distance) than the store management to follow him. He was well aware i was watching , looked out the corner of my eye to see him pocket a set of darts. (How cheap can ya get for a fix?)
Upon going towards the exit, I waited to see if he would go to the till to pay for the so called darts which he never.... running straight through the doors with the alarm going off i Grabbed hold of his arm where he realled round and gave me a kick to the leg bringing me down and at that point i forwarded a message to other security that assistance was urgently required, who Interveined within 30 seconds, along with six police officers
Result: him arrested for theft and assault of an officer.
to think, as he is a known heroin user (who jacks up) i was lucky not to have been stabbed with a needle!
If getting an Injury or a death- setance is a perk, then Elite can shove their job where the sun don't shine!
I am not paid enough to be a hero and life insurance aint gonna help me if im dead is it!!
would like to know other readers thoughts on this, thanx.
