Reports of another cash machine stolen from shop
A SHOP at a petrol station near Bicester was reportedly cordoned off by police after being raided by burglars. Several residents have told the Oxford Mail the Londis garage at Hopcrofts Holt, between Bicester and Chipping Norton, was shut yesterday after a break-in overnight on Friday. One regular customer understood thieves had ripped out the cash machine, and said it had only been installed recently after another break-in at the same shop several months ago. The alleged burglary, which has not yet been corroborated by police or staff at the shop, comes after a spate of similar incidents at shops around the county. He said the shop, which is at the junction of the A4260 Oxford Road and the B4030, had reopened today. Another man, who passed the shop yesterday, said: "A police van was there with a cordon, taping off the area around the whole garage and forecourt, which was closed. "The door had a metallic barrier [shutter] on, which I presume is brought down … [Read more...] about Reports of another cash machine stolen from shop
Girlfriend of hit-and-run victim who’d been shopping for wedding rings before killer driver took it all away slams sentence
The girlfriend of a young hit-and-run victim who'd been shopping for wedding rings before a drugged up driver took it all away has slammed the killer's sentence. A perfect future for the couple was ripped away in an instant when Lewis Knapp, 20, was struck by Connor Emms in a hit-and-run on April 15 last year. Caitlyn Hardy has described how she heard what "sounded like an explosion" before she tried to give her boyfriend CPR. She has slammed the length of Emm's sentence who was jailed for four-and-a-half years, Chronicle Live reports. Marriage was on the cards for Caitlyn and Lewis, of Boldon Colliery, South Tyneside, until the speeding drink driver hit him. The couple became almost inseparable after meeting at a house party back in April 2015. So strong was their love, Lewis had even been out shopping to look at wedding rings ahead of a proposal. The couple had enjoyed a night out with friends on Good Friday and Caitlyn was making her way to a taxi rank on Anderson Street in South … [Read more...] about Girlfriend of hit-and-run victim who’d been shopping for wedding rings before killer driver took it all away slams sentence
‘Chicken Shop’ restaurant shut down after filthy conditions discovered
A trendy north London restaurant was shut down by food safety officers last Summer after mice droppings were found on chopping boards in its kitchen, it has been revealed. The popular eatery Chicken Shop in Camden, part of the Soho House group, was forced to close when inspectors discovered a “widespread” rodent infestation. Mice droppings were also found on the kitchen floor and in shelves stacked with takeaway boxes in the Kentish Town restaurant. Inspectors gave the chicken shop, in Highgate Road, a hygiene rating of zero, saying the filthy condition posed an “imminent risk to health”. The restaurant’s owners signed a voluntary closure agreement following the inspection in July last year, details of which emerged this week. The Chicken Shop is part of the Soho House group, operating under its restaurant arm Quentin Restaurants Ltd. It has branches across the capital including in Holborn and St Johns Wood. A Quentin spokeswoman told the … [Read more...] about ‘Chicken Shop’ restaurant shut down after filthy conditions discovered
Living the Dream: Shopping trip sparks childhood memories
0 Have your say Christmas is once again a distant memory, the decorations have long since been taken down, rewrapped and carefully packed away in the loft for another year. One of the final post Christmas activities that happens around here, as it does in many families I’m sure, involves getting dragged around the sales. Well, after first braving the mayhem on the roads, it was time to find a parking place and that was no fun either. It was like many thousands of ants descending on that lone gobstopper, cast aside on a sunny summer’s day. Eventually, we were able to make our way inside the shopping complex, but even then it was like a fairground ride, being taking around by the crowds… and this was only just after 10 o’clock in the morning! On one of my rare ventures into a shop, I was firstly amused, but then quickly whisked back to being aged around nine years old and staying at my grandma’s house. The only question I had though was, which … [Read more...] about Living the Dream: Shopping trip sparks childhood memories
