    People who park on zebra crossings' zig-zag lines face fines and three penalty points on their driving licences, police have warned.

    Camborne, Pool and Redruth Police issued the warning on Facebook after seeing several cases of such parking in Camborne while on patrol on Saturday night.

    After one person on social media made the joke that the drivers "need to pick up their kebabs!!!", officers replied: "They may indeed need to. However, when these photos were taken, there were free parking spaces less than 30 meters further down the road!"

    Police said their photographs and a report had been submitted to the force's central ticket unit "who will progress accordingly".

    Police investigating the death of a teenage girl in Devon after she took a substance formerly known as a legal high have warned that all such substances are now illegal.

    Drug death scene

    The 15-year-old girl died after suffering an adverse reaction to a substance at the weekend. She was found unconscious in the early hours of Saturday at Bakers Park in Newton Abbot. She was not from the area.

    Police have appealed for information about who supplied the drug, believed to be a new psychoactive substance (NPS), formerly known as a legal high.

    Det Supt Ken Lamont, of Devon and Cornwall Police, said: "The law changed in May 2016, they are no longer 'legal highs'.

    "NPS are illegal and so is the selling and distributing of these drugs. That is why this is a criminal investigation ... these substances can kill and we have another tragic case on our hands."
