Police had bricks thrown at their car after they went to investigate a case involving a stolen digger.

The miniJCB, which was stolen from Scunthorpe at around 22.00 yesterday, had been loaded into a white van and driven away.

It was discovered later on land in nearby Brigg - but when officers were called to the scene they were attacked.

Any information about the incident on Mill Lane in Brigg, should be passed to police on 101.

The MP for Grimsby is calling on the government to do more to support kinship carers.

The research says in September Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Trust saw 87.4% of patients within four hours and the government target hadn't been hit since September 2015.

In September Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust saw 86.5% of patients within four hours and hadn't hit the government target since August 2014.

Both trusts say this month 91% of patients are being seen within the 4 hour target while they're having to deal with an increase in demand.

A couple who had sex against the counter of a pizza delivery shop have been given community orders.

Daniella Hirst, 29, and Craig Smith, 31, were captured on CCTV in a Domino's shop in Scarborough in February.

Hirst, of Bridlington, pleaded guilty to outraging public decency and Smith, also of Bridlington, was found guilty in his absence in September.

Magistrates in Scarborough said the couple had come "very close to going to prison".
