Disgust at plaques man release

by Sue Carr
19/ 3/2008

A HEROIN addict who convicted of handling 500 stolen memorial plaques from a Tameside cemetery has walked free from jail after serving half his sentence.

Paul Herrick, of Rydal Walk, Stalybridge, was arrested last August in connection with the theft of plaques valued at £146,500 from Dukinfield Crematorium.

   This is the area I live in! So sorry to say this but because of heartless scum like this excuse for a person I am looking at getting out of this area. This scum bag should not be able to breathe the same air as normal, hard working people. My Grandma passed away a few weeks ago and the family came to dukinfield crem for the service. We went to visit the plaque for her husband, my grandad, who died in 1976. But the plaque was missing. Yes This scum bag who took nearly 500 other plaques had taken my Grandads too! My Mother contacted the crem. To find out it was true, it was stolen. It is now to be replaced by PLASTIC! And at a cost! Please Can someone get in power that can stop a evil and twisted person from being allowed out from prison for such a crime. Hopefully!

   Shouldn't this piece of trash be manufacturing replacement memorial plaques in jail and not released until they're all done? When are these idiots in charge ever going to listen to the vast, enraged majority? Alas, the answers are no and never.

   Well Yes .......

Here we go again !!!!!

Give a criminal an easy sentence, hardly a deterrent to stop him re offending is it ????? Just goes to show that crime pays !!!!!!

Who ever gave him such a short sentence then decided on an early release should be put in Jail themselves for being so bloody stupid !!!!

   I hate to draw this into a political issue, but does Cllr. John Taylor forget that it is because of his party (Labour) that prisoners are given weak sentences and given early release?

I would be particularly interested in hearing what Cllr. Andrew "Paid twice to represent the same people" Gwynne MP and what he thinks of this tragic story? After all he is the Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to the Home Secretary, the Rt. Hon. Jacqui Smith MP who is responsible for overseeing that criminals get what they deserve.
