    Penzance's outdoor Jubilee Pool is to remain open until the end of October for the first time, staff say.

    More than 40,000 people had visited the seawater pool since it opened in June, they added.

    Cuttlefish

    Brixham has seen record prices for cuttlefish caught in local waters.

    It's a fish which is much more popular on the continent than it is here but warmer seas have meant a bumper catch.

    On one day this week, the port traded about £700,000 worth of cuttlefish.

    TaserPA

    Devon and Cornwall Police fired a Taser nearly 20 times in the three months from April, figures released today show.

    The electric stun gun was actually drawn on 139 occasions but only fired during 18 incidents.

    Officers also drew a firearm 10 times during the same period, although no shots were fired.

    The figures are part of a report which since 1 April 2017 makes every police force in the UK record and publish the number of times they use force during an incident.

    Less than 5% of situations the police attended in Devon and Cornwall involved the use of force, the figures said.
