A statement from police said cable theft had become a “major problem on the rail system”.

Cable theft has this week caused transport delays in many parts of south-east England. Rail services in Essex and Cambridgeshire were severely hit after overhead power cables were stolen. Network Rail said the theft affected other overhead lines, some of which came down in Essex late on Wednesday (September 21). The Stansted Express and Broxbourne to Cambridge services have been suspended, National Express East Anglia said. The company added it did not expect trains to run until 13:00 BST.

A portable toilet was stolen from a council yard by thieves using a large crane.

The government's social policy review indicated that parents of children in England who regularly play truant could have their benefits cut. Prime Minister David Cameron said during a speech about education that discipline and rigour were needed to mend a "broken society”. He commented: "But restoring discipline is also about what parents do. That's why I have asked our social policy review to look into whether we should cut the benefits of those parents whose children constantly play truant.”
