Police use Twitter to contact a burglary suspect
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/stop-ignor...230100679.html Quote:
Police have used social media to write a letter to a burglary suspect that urges her to get in touch and "stop ignoring" them. I think embracing all technology available to get in contact with suspects is a good thing, but it seems a lot of people think otherwise.
Officers in Kingston, southwest London, said they believe Tracey Dyke is "blanking" them and they want to talk to her. In the post on Twitter and Facebook, captioned "Please stop ignoring us Tracey", they said: "We have come round to see you a number of times recently. "But it looks like you'd rather not speak to us, which is very disappointing." They continued: "We have a slight suspicion that you might be blanking us #Awkward. "You don't text, you don't call back and haven't accepted our friend request." The latter sentence is followed by a sad face emoji. As well as attaching a photograph of the suspect, they urged her to hand herself in to a police station or contact them on 101 and that they would pick her up. The post has been retweeted more than 1,600 times. The letter said the woman was suspected of burglaries in Kingston, where vulnerable victims had been targeted, leaving them "traumatised and very upset". It continued: "We won't stand for this and want to have a discussion with you at our custody suite." |

I knew this would be a thread on here as soon as I saw it. If I were her I would tweet back

fair enough
but I don't think a tweet constitutes "writing a letter" |

1600 retweets?
Twitter needs to catch up, it went on Kingston Police's Facebook yesterday and has been shared 95,000 times. |
