Street gangs? Don't be too quick to jump to conclusions

A GANG of street lads and girls foiled a robbery in Milton Keynes recently. They pursued a thief as he fled from a shop, caught him and returned 24 bottles of beer.

The shop assistant was still on the phone to the police and had to explain that they were no longer needed: a gang had retrieved and returned the stolen beer!

The Jesus Army had been befriending the gang. One of them commented: "We hope the Christian influence is rubbing off on them. They really are a sound crew and we're praying for them to truly find Jesus."
