Two Teens Arrested In Connection With Stockport Burglaries
Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with two burglaries in Stockport.
A house on Kings Road, Cheadle Hulme was broken into on the morning of 1st December 2014.
The offenders attempted to smash a rear window and caused the window pane to drop out of the frame after banging it with a large garden stone.
Jewellery was stolen before they fled.
Later that afternoon offenders tried to smash their way into a house on Radnormere Drive, Cheadlehulme but were disturbed and left empty handed.
A 19-year-old man was arrested in a nearby block of flats and a 17-year-old boy was arrested after he was found hiding in a garden.
Both have been bailed until February pending further enquiries.
CCTV Images Released After Woman Is Touched Inappropriately On Bus
CCTV images have been released of a man who police believe may have vital information after a woman was inappropriately touched on a bus as it was travelling through Dovecot, Liverpool, on Monday, 1st September.
The victim, who is 20-years-old and from the Prescot area, was on an Arriva 10a Service heading for St Helens. At around 11.50pm, the bus stopped on East Prescot Road close to the junction with Finch Lane and a man got on and sat 2 seats behind her.
He is believed to have had an argument with another man on the bus and then sat directly behind the victim and touched her inappropriately twice.
Another passenger claimed to have seen what happened and spoke to the offender who got off the bus a short time later.
An investigation into the full circumstances surrounding the incident is continuing.
Motorway Signs To Display Fuel Prices
The government is to press ahead with plans to introduce signs on motorways that display the price of fuel at service stations, to help promote competition and lower fuel prices.
The announcement was made as part of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement. The Department for Transport will begin work early next year on trialling a new fuel comparison sign at 5 service stations on the M5 between Bristol and Exeter, with a view to introducing the signs by the end of 2015.
