Homeless addicts caught on video bragging of their success

Lord Street north residents and businesses say they want more to be done about heroin addicted beggars.

Videos sent into OTS News this evening showed a heated argument between a group of beggars rowing over drugs.

One resident who caught it on camera said “i don’t know why people keep giving them money and fuelling their addiction.

When I go past I never stop and I’m always advised not to engage with them because they can be very abusive.

One once insisted I had change and was lying to him when I said I didn’t and I felt threatened.

I wish somebody would clean them up and take them away. It’s not right for a place like Southport”
