The Police have just not got the resources now.The number of Police Officers that would be needed to enter a Travellers site would be huge.
They would have to battle with the Women and children first !
It is not unknown for the children of Five years old and upwards to thrown stones etc at Police.
Not worth it to retrieve a Van or Caravan!
As with the currant crime of moped riders in London or in other Cities of a gang rushing into a shop and grabbing goods .
So perhaps we should be lobbying our MP’s of all parties to start proper policing.
The CPSO have no power at all !
