The Kirby Muxloe village website

Two people were arrested and later released on bail pending further inquiries in connection with a robbery in Kirby Muxloe. The incident took place at the Main Street branch of the Alliance & Leicester on Wednesday between midday and 1pm. A report in the Leicester Mercury stated that residents reacted with shock, “something like that happening round here”, “Kirby Muxloe is a sleepy quiet village”.

Frankly I’m not at all surprised, i think people in the village are too complacent and as such believe that this is a well-to-do area that is beyond being affected by any outside interference. It goes to show that nothing untoward is expected when two people can walk into a building society in broad daylight and rob it, probably on their lunch break! Village mickey takers suggest that a pensioner tried to withdraw an extra pound.

We may be relatively safe here, we are not afraid to walk the streets and as communities go we o look out for one another. But maybe, just maybe people don’t generally bother with us because we are sleepy, did i say sleepy? i meant boring, boring backward and dormant, its about time we got a poke.
