News on the Street

Our local newsagent Mark Cummings, and his son Jack, received a rude awakening early on Sunday morning, when they heard noises coming from their newsagent shop below.

On arriving downstairs, they discovered that most of the glass in the front door has been smashed, and that someone had been inside and helped themselves to cigarettes from the steel cabinet.

The police duly arrived and took away the footage from the shop’s newly installed video security camera, and the shop became a ‘no-go area’ with the recognisable ‘police blue & white tape’.

Wishing to ensure they could still serve their customers, later that morning Mark and his son Jack were selling Sunday newspapers from the pavement.  Thus ensuring locals still got their Sunday morning read.

The police have indicated that a quantity of cigarettes have been recovered and a man is helping with their enquiries over the incident.
