This site is basically run by one person, who also does the content for sister sites. In depth reporting and analysis is not a strong suit.The report reads like a Met press release printed verbatim. One of the first things that used to be taught on journalism courses is to use a press release as a starting point then speak to the relevant people to get the actual details. Maybe the perpetrators are minors and have details withheld for that reason, though the CCTV doesn’t indicate that’s the case.This sort of lazy journalism is abundant now, meaning there’s little truthful information getting into the public domain and authorities are not being held to account.
