Men shot at and chased by 'travellers' after going to buy van

Terrifying dashcam footage shows a man being shot at and rammed off the road by travellers after he responded to an advert to buy a van from them at the Sandy Lane caravan park in Watford. The man, who prefers to remain unidentified, believes the sale was set-up to lure him to the caravan site to steal his money and identification.

[@thomaswilcox5265]

I was once once in my car and chased by a car full of yobs who had baseball bats and were launching bricks at the car. I assumed they wanted the car. They smashed the windows on my car and my passenger was on the phone to the police throughout. The operator kept repeating that there were no police in the area to help and that if it's serious enough we won't get prosecuted for speeding. Lol. Finally after getting away, an officer took a picture of the smashed windows of the car and said they would be in touch. A couple months later they said there was no CCTV footage (really? after travelling about 3-4 miles around town passing likely 50-100 cameras). I invested in some pepper spray as I was rather worried about travelling about at night after that. Few months later I got pulled over for speeding and the officer found the pepper spray. I was arrested, charged and sent to crown court and sentenced to 100 hours of community service and a 6pm-6am curfew for 3 months. On the day I was caught with the pepper spray the police submitted evidence (for whatever reason) of me travelling in my car and had compiled footage of my car on about 100 CCTV camera's that night. True story. They only want to help when they can be bothered.

[@UnstoppableTramp]

Got off lightly, pepper spray carries the same terms as a firearm I heard!! Bonkers mate, sorry to hear that happened to you

[@thomaswilcox5265]

Cheers mate. Many people think that. The judge I had for the first few hearings was a very down to earth judge who explained that the minimum sentence was 4 years (not even out in half the time). That shook me a bit and that's what I prepared for. However, he was not correct that the minimum sentence was 4 years. CS gas does come under the section 5 firearms act and is of course prohibited but thankfully not subject to mandatory minimum sentences (currently).

[@UnstoppableTramp]

So what did you have, pepper spray or CS gas?

[@thomaswilcox5265]

It was pepper spray.

[@SlipperyBream]

Yea thats this country all over. Real criminals pretty much do whatever they like and the Police cant be bothered to even try to catch them. Normal citizens who are sick of it and merely want to protect themselves get the book thrown at them. So sick of it. And they wonder why people hate the Police? They have failed us consistently for years now and its getting to the point Police are becoming more of a hinderence to people than a help...

Same happened to me

[@dr2stroke611]

the guys in the car were probably targeted for some reason... ive driven on to many traveller sites and they dont act like this.

[@ianwatson194]

Same here, I've been onto traveller sites for work purposes and never had any trouble from them. I've heard plenty of stories of what they are like but they don't shoot at random guys 🤔

Let me get this straight, someone opens fire on you and you decide to drive at 30mph allowing them to catch up with you?! In what world, I'd be speeding all the way to the nearest police station and crash straight into their car park if I'm being chased

[@jimreynolds2399]

Should've told the cops the two guys were not wearing face masks and not social distancing. The Chief of Police would have been on scene for that one!

To even think of buying from travellers, you would be crazy, they probably are not the owners or the item has major defects.

The moral of this story is Don’t sound calm as fuck when you’re about to be murdered or kidnapped so the police actually get there somewhat quick

[@JS-fb6ww]

The real crime here is, running your car directly into a pothole like that... Twice!!!

[@Sleepysidney]

I'm not even sure I believe this isn't staged. Why would somebody shoot at a car for no reason, and then chase and collide with it. For no reason at all?

Be careful of Autotrader sellers folks. I had a similar experience when buying a Lexus IS220d off Bucks Trade Centre in High Wycombe. After they agreed a part exchange and a sale I walked off with the car with my friend. We spent an hour parked up trying to insure it and off we went on our way. As we drove off the seller suddenly spotted us out on the road going towards the M40 and chased us in my old car just like you see in the video. The garage owner tried pulling us over, speeding, flashing, ramming is off the road because he wanted the Lexus back. Be careful of Auto trader!!! This experience and my experience won't be the last you'll ever hear of Autotrader adverts.

[@willowmcgregor2529]

Wait there has to be more to it. No one's going to shoot a stranger as they approach then chase them down a dual carriageway!

All logic goes out of the window when it comes to Traveller folk. You could be mother Theresa and they'd find a reason to smash your head in.

One of many reasons why vehicles should be fitted with dash cams.

i live in a static caravan on a residential site and there are travelers here all the time not all of them are bad people . Just some of them .

[@lostvagueness2080]

The travellers from this site send there kids to the hotel carparks around the areas to break into cars, I witnessed this at the Hilton in Watford and they were caught red handed by the car owner, the kids get on their mobiles and 5 minutes later two vans of travellers turn up with hammers and bats, threaten the staff and the car owner, take the kids away and the police showed up 50 minutes later and did sweet FA.

[@jimmymolo]

There’s got to be more to this story

[@meandmynine_tm9684]

Has it? Community involved in high levels of crime involved in crime? Think that pretty much sums it up. There doesng have to be "more to the story" at all. They knew this guy had cash to buy a van and wanted it. Simple

[@WorldCupWillie]

No, he's right about there likely being more to the story. Surely, If you want to steal their money, you don't start shooting them as soon as they come down the road. You'd let them pull up and get out of their car. Another comment suggested the travellers mistook these guys for enemies coming into to the site to attack them. There are loads of youtube videos of gangs of travellers going onto another sites and smashing caravans or beating someone up.

I just looked it up on Google maps to see where the raod leads, I'm interested in why the men were going alone that road. Not to sound like I'm making excuses, but I am curious if they were or weren't the target they were aiming for. Oh plus it's a perminant caravan park with a scrap yard across the road, does that hint towards some sort of permanant criminal operation???

[@michaelprice6776]

Clearly a misunderstanding - travellers are normally such nice honest people, they never rob old lady’s or beat up lone men while in huge groups...

[@ChristianNeff]

As a gypsy (like 6th+ generation American)... I am offended they're being called "travelers". I travel in my car. Those people are nomadic squatters.

[@Drsaj-lg5ec]

so they just start shooting at any car that goes into that caravan park?

[@Litesnip2022]

[@meandmynine_tm9684]

Yeh. Like they wanted the 5grand instead of actually giving the guy's the van.

[@cromwellsghost3434]

What struck me as odd, is that the ambush was already set up. Your active shooter was sitting their waiting for you? So either they take security seriously in that site, and they have a guy on constant or over watch, or you were expected. If you were there to purchase a van why shoot at you. How would they secure repeat business. Can some one fill in the blanks for me here. I would like more back story. Why the chase? You left the scene. Seems like a lot of trouble for a simple case of trespass.
