Suspected criminals openly dealing in black market scrap and outlining their techniques in evading the police are just some practices which have been exposed.

A Conservative Member of Parliament has hit out at councils delaying deducting a day's pay from striking workers until the New Year. Aberconwy MP Guto Bebb said Gwynedd and Conwy councils had acquiesced to unions in going along with the ‘strike now, pay later’ arrangement. Mr Bebb claimed Gwynedd was due to make the pay adjustments in February. Gwynedd council would not comment before staff had been informed while Conwy said its payroll system meant it had to make deductions in January.

A former Manchester United player has been jailed for 15 months after being involved in a stolen car parts ring.

Among the activities investigated by detectives, he was observed driving a Mazda Furano into the scrap yard three days after it was stolen from a car dealer.

A raid on a warehouse fetched thieves £120,000 worth of high-value metal and cabling. Police are appealing for witnesses after the criminals stole supplies intended for the Great Dorset Steam Fair.

Officers are especially keen to hear from scrap yard dealers or anyone who has been offered any of these items under for a particularly low price.
