And it wasn't just looting and black market trading that saw increases. One offence recorded during was the case of a 14-year-old boy bound over by Cornish magistrates after indecently assaulting a woman in a Newlyn street in January 1940.

He also admitted several other similar offences and said he had started by just bumping into women, using the excuse of the blackout before moving on to grabbing them.

Campaigners in Totnes are calling on Devon County Council to compromise by ending a lengthy court battle which is expected to run up a bill of more than £100,000. 

The dispute is over which way the traffic flows through the main shopping street in Totnes. For years traffic, went up Fore Street. But, in 2014, the council introduced a traffic order making it flow down, to stop people using it as a rat-run.

Campaign group STAG said it had reduced traffic to such an extent that it was damaging the local economy and had put some firms out of business. Devon County Council has refused to comment until the case has been heard.
