Sales assistant helps undercover police officers tackle phone shop raiders

Watch as a sales assistant helps undercover police officers stop phone shop raiders by pushing them out of the store. Footage shared by Chippenham Police on Monday (18 August) shows a group of men raiding the store in Borough Parade, Wiltshire, as shocked customers ran away in the opposite direction. The force had already been informed via intelligence that the store was being targeted by an organised criminal group, with officers waiting on standby to intervene. The group were shoved out of the store by a shop assistant, with undercover officers wielding battens standing outside as the group tried to make an escape. Plain-clothed police officers then chased the men before managing to tackle them to the ground. All six men pleaded guilty to conspiracy to steal at a court hearing on 12 June, and were sentenced at Swindon Crown Court on Thursday (14 August).

Family 'beyond lost' at father's death in Lancashire motorbike crash

The family of a motorcyclist who died in a crash in which a pedestrian was also killed have said they were "beyond lost" without him. David Hough, 55, has been named as one of the men who died at the scene in Clayton-le-Woods, Lancashire, shortly after 22:30 BST on 7 August. Mr Hough's BMW motorbike had collided with two pedestrians, police said, fatally injuring 68-year-old Lyndon Wright. Lancashire Police said three men who were near the scene, at the junction of Preston Road and Cloverfield, had been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. The family of Mr Hough, from Macclesfield in Cheshire, said in a tribute that they were "truly devastated" at the loss of a "most wonderful" father-of-three."He will be missed by his partner, his loving mother and father, sister, brother-in-law and nephew", they said. "We are beyond lost without him. He was a friend to so many and a man who will be missed beyond comparison." Police said the second pedestrian, a woman in her 60s, is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. Last week the family of Mr Wright described him as a "devoted husband and loving father".Lancashire Police said the three suspects, a 53-year-old man from Whittle-le-Woods, a 57-year-old man from Middlewich and a 46-year-old man from Congleton, have since been released under investigation. Sgt Joe Ghigi, from the force's roads policing unit, said: "Our thoughts remain with the families of David and Lyndon, and with the woman recovering in hospital. "They are being supported by specially trained officers at this distressing time."Enquiries into the collision are ongoing, and we are continuing to ask that anyone with information or footage that can assist our enquiries to get in contact."
