Four West Midlands Police officers have admitted a Halloween event in Birmingham using the name of serial killer Fred West in its adverts was "insensitive" .
Tickets to a charity Ghost Hunt at the old Steelhouse Lane Lock Up are on sale for £75 and among those who spent time in it, before it closed, was notorious serial killer Fred West in the 1990s.
Image source, PAThe Peaky Blinders were also held there - but after some comments were posted on social media Fred West's name was removed from the advertising.
In a statement, West Midlands Police said: "Steelhouse Lane is where Fred West was held in custody in the 90s and his name was used alongside the Peaky Blinders to promote this worthy cause.
"On reflection the organiser of the event has agreed that using his name was insensitive and has therefore removed it from any advertising of this event."
Two ambulances have been attacked with bricks and left out of action, West Midlands Ambulance Service has said.
In both incidents, the vehicles were targeted as they went through the underpass on Birchfield Road at the junction of Aston Lane in Birmingham - firstly at about 14:30 yesterday and then again at about 15:00.
Image source, West Midlands Ambulance ServiceBoth vehicles are now off the road and it will cost hundreds of pounds to repair them, the ambulance service said.
Emergency Services Operations Delivery Director, Nathan Hudson, said: "It is hard to put into words how angry and disappointing these incidents are.
"Throwing a brick at any vehicle is dangerous and idiotic, but when it is an ambulance responding to an emergency, it beggar’s belief."

For months, the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust has struggled to recruit enough consultants in A&E and more recently has also faced a shortage of middle grade doctors and nurses.
Earlier, we revealed the Telford A&E unit is expected to close from 20:00 to 08:00 under plans going before the board tomorrow.
Unlike Shrewsbury, Telford is not a registered trauma unit.
The A&Es have been below safe staff limits for some time and closing the Telford unit overnight had been a contingency measure for several months.
Speaking in August, Chief Executive Simon Wright said the trust needed about 20 middle-grade A&E doctors, but had just 10.
At the time, he described the situation as "fragile" and said the two departments had only been kept open thanks to the dedication of staff covering shifts - a position he said was "unsustainable"
It was also revealed last month that an A&E nurse had resigned citing safety reasons.
A man has been arrested for stealing from cars in Staffordshire.
Staffordshire Police said, external it responded to a 999 call in the Blythe Bridge area, just after 07:00.
