Arsenal’s New Stadium Sparks a Crime Wave
By: Bob | March 1st, 2007
While it may look as shiny and new as a freshly showered Thierry Henry’s head, Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium is turning out to be a den of ill repute. The new stadium with the loud announcer and radioactive material is now being blamed by police for a crime wave in the neighbourhood surrounding it.
Time to blow up the new bridges?
Residents of upmarket Highbury Hill have been told that burglary figures have almost doubled in the six months since the stadium opened. Two new bridges over the railway tracks allowing access to the stadium are blamed, providing a handy escape route for thieves who previously had no escape route to the west of the smart Islington streets. There are also concerns among residents whose homes back on to the building site around Highbury, currently being converted into flats. They report an increase in thefts from gardens.
Thefts from gardens. Perhaps that can explain why Chelsea fans threw celery at Cesc Fabregas during the Carling Cup final on Sunday. They were merely trying to help their friends from north London get their recommended daily serving of vegetables. Mighty charitable of them.
