Victorian Policing - Chester le Street style

It's a wet evening in Chester le Street, and the Likely Lads have been in the Lambton Arms causing no end of bother.

The Market Square

A concerned citizen tells the desk Sergeant about suspicious activity

Cribbins and Phillips are sent out to deal with it.

But Mad Terry is seen with a shotgun outside the Joiners Arms.  Things are taking a dark turn

As suspected its a robbery in the making.

Phillips uses his whistle to summon help.

But Cribbins runs for it.  We've seen this before from the boy!

Confrontation on the bridge.  Bad Bobby Bewes fires at the Inspector.

Some of the lads can't take this.  Gazza the fish and Jimmy Five bellies run for it.

Only Bad Bobby and his trusty luger pistol stay on the bridge.

But Bobby's shooting is a disgrace.

The Chester Le Street Constabulary give a well aimed volley, proving once again that they have the measure of the Likely Lads.

Bob is taken into custody, and the gang turn to Mad Terry to bust him out.  Bob however will probably want to stay in jail and avoid confronting his wife, the terrifying Thelma Bewes.
