Hello,

I am Geoff Camden Wiles, I and my wife Louise run Car Boots Cornwall. On Tuesday 30th May 2017 at 12.00 noon we had an incident where a lady seller accompanied by two young children was asked ‘not to chant’ whilst selling on her stall. She was shouting about items she was selling on her stall causing complaints from other stall-holders. I pointed out that chanting is not allowed at Car Boot Sales whereby she became extremely agitated cursing and using dreadful language towards myself my team and members of the public including young children.

Several customers complained about the very ‘loud mouthed’ lady one of the complainants calling the Police to report the incident which was attended by your Community Police a lady and a gent from Newquay Police.

I had told the offensive lady that she must leave we refunded her the cost of her stall eventually she left issuing threats to myself and my staff that her husband would be coming to ‘beat me up’

Several customers who were present and witnesses have since complained about the incident in particular their concern that it should not have happened in front of her two children who were apparently cowering in their car frightened by the woman’s language and actions. Would you kindly inform the lady Community Police Officer that the vehicle driven by this woman was a Ford Focus registration number Y 868 EAB

I would ask that I am able to speak with either of the attending Community Police Officers to discuss this matter further. Some of our staff wear body-cams therefore it is possible we may have some of the woman ‘s outrage on film which is being annallised.

We have been established since 1989 running 8-10 Car Boot sales weekly. We have been holding Car Boot Sales in Newquay since 1995/6 and this incident was the worst and most offensive in our history. We normally deal with all problems without the necessity of calling the Police, whilst we do appreciate the member of the public who called the Police on this occasion.

Many thanks,

Regards,

Geoff Camden Wiles
