CCTV: Southend gang member jailed
A GANG-MEMBER has been jailed after he was was caught on CCTV terrifying innocent people in Southend High Street.
The bandana-clad 15-year-old was seen swinging a bike chain around his head as he approached passers-by.
He was caught after CCTV operators spotted his behaviour - and police were called to arrest him outside the Odeon cinema.
When he was picked up he was wearing a red bandana which is a distinguishing signature of the GPD or ‘Get Paid Daily’ gang.
Full story in today's Echo. Watch the CCTV here.

If that is where he ends up. Probably get a holiday in Barbados as he's 'misunderstood'.
This is just typical of the area now and nothing will be done unless it happens to a councillor or a member of their family.
The place should be nuked.

I know exactly who these mugs are, they hang about in warrior sq park on a regular basis and their ONLY victims are young kids and elderly women, they think they are "bare hard" because a group of 3+ of them can successfully rob a lone 13 year old boy of his phone at knife point. Most of them shouldn't even be in this country and a couple don't even live in this town! The "hardest" ones mum is dying of cancer, whilst suffering this painful death her so called son can manage nothing other than bringing her grief! (she has now been moved to portsmouth whilst he is currently in prison which the other mugs think make him a "gangster") If anybody would like their full names feel free to leave your email address and I'll happily tell you, if any one else would like to round up a group of MEN then again, I'm ready, perhaps we should go put the lot of them across our knees and teach them how to stop being cowardly little bullies that are so hard they have to hide in groups behind a knife. Scummy little degenerates... the lot of 'em!

I am the mother of one of the 'GPD'. For the record I am neither a scumbag or a bad parent. Strange as it may sound I bought my children up with manners and respect. My son became involved in this gang through school. Futures Community College to be precise (where a large percentage of the GPD came from). I was completely unaware of what my son had become involved in until it was to late. My son (like a lot of the GPD) is white, British and from a 'nice', normal, loving family. Unfortunately as a parent I am not able to control every part of my children's lives, thoughts or actions. What my son has done, sickens me to the core. I neither understand or condone his behaviour. I have however stood by my son since I found out what he did. He has made terrible, awful choices in his life. But I am not going to throw him on the scrap heap, where he would doubtless fall into a life of further crime. Instead i am showing him, that through hard work, facing up to your mistakes and apologising for them, you can change!
