Crushing the festive spirit and introducing an unexpected mix of Bladerunner-meets-1984 into Brixton’s Windrush Square were these giant LCD screens displaying the names of wanted locals.
Seen yesterday, the bright, two sided display was beaming out mugshots and information about the perps on to both sides of the square.
Brixton Buzz naturally supports any initiative that gets dangerous criminals off the streets, but some of the crimes listed onscreen seemed quite trivial to be advertised via the big screen, e.g. stealing a single bike.
