Man, 50, killed in drive-by shooting outside petrol station as cops release CCTV in hunt for car ‘with false plates'
The vehicle being hunted has a distinct feature on its frontage FATAL SHOOTING Man, 50, killed in drive-by shooting outside petrol station as cops release CCTV in hunt for car 'with false plates' A MAN has died after being injured in a late-night drive-by shooting close to a petrol station. Police rushed to the scene in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, shortly before 10pm last night after receiving reports of a man being seriously injured after being shot close to a BP petrol station. The victim - believed to be a 50-year-old man living in the local area - was quickly taken to hospital but tragically died there from his injuries. His family have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers, police said. Cops have now opened a murder investigation and are hunting the car it believes was involved in the shooting. West Yorkshire Police released fresh CCTV images today of the vehicle, which is understood to have been stolen in a burglary in the nearby town of Castleford on August 3. The Toyota RAV4 is described by officers as being "bluey grey-coloured with a grey trim". Cops added that it was displaying a cloned numberplate (FV53 FXT) in the footage but warned it could now be driving with different plates. Setting it apart from other vehicles, the motor believed to be used in the shooting has distinctive bull lights on its roof, above the windshield. Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle said: "A man has lost his life, and it is an absolute priority for us to understand the circumstances of what has taken place and identify anyone who has had any involvement in this incident. "We understand that the vehicle used in this offence was on false plates and was stolen in a burglary in Castleford on 3 August. "The vehicle is particularly distinctive because of the bull lights fitted to the vehicle." DCI Entwistle added: "We are interested in speaking to anyone who believes they have seen this RAV4 following this burglary, around the time of this offence and since. "The vehicle may now be displaying different plates. 'Motorists who were in the Doncaster Road area last night who have dashcams fitted are also asked to check whether they have captured any footage of this vehicle. "The driver was driving in the direction of Wakefield before they have turned around near the BP petrol station immediately prior to the shooting and then driven off in the direction they came from. 'We understand the shock and concern that an incident of this nature will cause, particularly given that a firearm has been involved. "We are dedicating significant resources to this investigation and our neighbourhood policing colleagues are supporting this with an increased presence in the area to provide reassurance to the community.' If you have seen this vehicle, witnessed the attack, or have any information which could help police, contact the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team via Live Chat or by calling 101, quoting Operation Ploughland. Information, including footage, can be provided through the Major Incident Public Portal here. More to follow...

I lost £635M in a rubbish dump & been battling for 12 years to get it back… now I've been forced to give up for good
A MAN who lost £650 million in bitcoin has finally 'given up' after he was banned from searching for it in a rubbish dump. The computer expert had been lobbying his local council to allow him to search for the coins, after his partner threw them out by accident. Advertisement 4 James Howells lost millions when his ex-partner accidentally threw out his Bitcoin Credit: WNS 4 The Bitcoin was contained on a hard drive Credit: WNS 4 His crypto stash was valued at £635 million Credit: WNS James Howells, 39, had acquired 8000 bitcoins by 2013 - just before their digital currency's value exploded. However, when his former partner threw out a bin bag of computer parts, he lost everything. Meanwhile, the value of the cryptocurrency skyrocketed and James' stash became worth a staggering £635 million. In a desperate bid to reclaim his lost fortune, he launched a legal bid to search the council-owned dump. Advertisement Read More on UK News SUN'S OUT Brits flock to the beach to soak in the sun - with temps to soar to 33C in days James even offered to buy it with the backing of hedge-fund millionaires who wanted a slice of his crypto fortune. However, Newport City Council has since denied his request. James tried to take legal action against the local authority, but a judge ruled in the council's favour and struck out his claim. At the high court, Judge Keyser told James that he had "no realistic prospect of succeeding" if he allowed the case to continue to trial. Advertisement He said: "I consider that the particulars of claim do not show any reasonable grounds for bringing this case. 'I also consider that the claim would have no realistic prospect of succeeding if it went to trial and that there is no other compelling reason why it should be disposed of at trial." Inside France's brutal crypto crime wave with chopped off fingers, delivery van street kidnaps & £10million ransoms The 39-year-old was told that looking for the lost cryptocurrency would be like 'looking for a needle in a haystack'. Although James has said he won't give up, he claimed to the Crypto Banker that he had been 'denied access to even start the search'. What else can I do? What else do you want me to try? Advertisement He added: "I would happily dig tomorrow but they are not going to change their minds. 'I believed that once the value of this hard drive reached $1billion they would come to their senses and say 'ok let's have a conversation and see if we can make this happen'?' James is now planning on developing his own cryptocurrency named Ceiniog Coin. The value of the currency would be linked to the value of his lost hard drive in a bid to reclaim some of his money. Advertisement The news comes after heartwarming footage of the moment that a dad who overcame cancer told his son that he had won the Euromillions surfaced online. Paul Harvey from Attleborough, Norfolk, won £1 million in the July 4 lottery. In the video, Paul and his son can be seen laughing and jumping around the kitchen. Paul recalled: 'I wanted to tell the kids in person so when my son got home I set up my phone to record it." Advertisement And after an agonising wait for them to get home from school, he got his dream moment. Paul said: "How many millionaires do you know?" And his bewildered son replied "zero". Then Paul broke the news by saying: 'Well, you do now.' Advertisement The 51-year-old had been battling with bowel cancer but is now looking forward to happier times after winning the massive prize.
