Essex crack head, Matt Lawton, was attacked and robbed by a fellow crack head, after stealing the mobile of one of our writers.
Angry crack heads, went looking for the waste man who has nothing better to do with his time than to steal and rob items.
The low life from Southend Essex, was spotted another crack house by a crack head looking for him.
He was reportedly attacked by two crack heads, who searched the crack head after launching a vicious attack on him, the eye of media.com was told. His assailant called the eye of media.com to ask for a reward, saying ” we found him in someone’s house and beat the granny out of him. He denied taking the phone, and said he left it in the kitchen, but couldn’t sensibly explain why he failed to respond to several calls and texts. He said he was high and crack and didn’t hear the phone ring each time, the volume was low, he is claimed to have said.
Lawton was sent several text messages after over half a dozen calls a few weeks ago when he disappeared with an Android mobile phone on contract, costing our writer several important contacts and irretrievable pictures. It is very doubtful that he was not aware that his attention was being demanded by the owner of the phone, but the compulsive thief denied stealing the phone, and claimed somebody else must have picked it up from where he left it in the kitchen. ” He is a liar, the man who claims to have bashed him told the eye of media.com on phone, he quickly put two girls and a guy on the phone, who are said to have witnessed the pummeling Lawton received. ”We searched him but didn’t find the phone, but I robbed him of £110 and three balls of crack, the man said. We never encouraged anybody to attack him, but local crack heads say Lawton is fund of also stealing crack balls from other addicts whenever their attention is distracted.
”He is scum, the man told us, he nicks other peoples crack, phones, chargers, he used to offer mobile phones for cheap prices in the past. He is a known thief, but we couldn’t find any phone on him. He didn’t even have a phone of his own when we caught him, but we took what he had. He has been told to replace the phone immediately with a new one, and not give Southend crack heads a bad name. Most crackheads round here don’t steal from their mates or mates of their mates, he told us. The man said the few crack heads who had admitted robbing their families to us during our research were a minority, and many came from other locations in the area. Lawton pointed the finger at other crack heads in the property on the day of the theft, offering no evidence for it, despite the fact it was he who took the phone from its owner without returning it.
He reportedly suffered a broken jaw and swollen eye in the attack, but refused to go to hospital for fear of the police being involved.
