"Four arrested after teenager dies 
Somerset police have arrested four people in connection with the death of a teenager in Taunton in the early hours of Sunday.
The victim has been named as 17-year-old Lloyd Fouracre who was local to the area.

He was with 10 friends in Gypsey Lane on the way home from an 18th birthday party when they were approached by four people and a fight broke out.

Lloyd was taken to Musgrove Park Hospital where he later died."

whats cctv?

[Don Seer]

closed circuit tele-vision.


all the main roads through the centre of town and around the clubs/pubs and car parks have cameras in.. so if a fight breaks out or whatever they can direct police to the location. they can also follow people fleeing..

[Theodore]

thought it was something like that, a nice thing to prevent/solve crime
they ve got a similar system in a few cities here as well
