    They are used by people with dementia to help them deal with anxiety during their treatment.

    A number were stolen from a fracture clinic at HRI and security has been increased after the theft.

    Staff say they are grateful to those who have donated replacements.

    Only a few weeks ago weeks tea pots, dishes and old photographs were stolen from an area created by staff in the style of a 1960s front room to help people with dementia feel more comfortable.

    We have been so touched by the response. "We used these to help some of our most vulnerable patients and it's reassuring to know that people were as outraged as we were by what had happened."

    Officers say online sex workers are at an increased risk of sexual and physical violence, harassment and stalking and are the victims of an average three crimes a year, but are often reluctant to call the police.

    The campaign aims to inform sex workers about what support is available for them, provide essential safety tips, and encourage them to report any incidents if they are a victim of crime.

    Whatever job you do it's your right to feel safe and protected and we won't tolerate any crimes against those who work in the sex industry."

    Two-year-old Toby beat hundreds of other entries to take his place as winner of the Hero Cat category.

    His owner, Annette, began having seizures two years ago and Toby is able to warn her children if she's about to have one so they can call for help.

    He does it by pawing Annette and meowing loudly, Toby hasn't received any specialist training and somehow senses when his owner is about to have a seizure.

    It’s so reassuring knowing Toby is looking out for us all, and we wouldn’t be without him.”

    The pursuit began at about 01:00 this morning when a black Subaru failed to stop for police officers close to Elvington.

    Officers say the vehicle was followed at high speed into the East Yorkshire area where the Subaru then left the road and stopped in a field.

    Three occupants then ran away from the vehicle, but were found a short time later by police officers and a police dog.

    The three men, two 29-year-olds and a 26-year-old, all from South Yorkshire, were arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop for the police and suspected theft of a vehicle and drug driving.

    The police helicopter was involved in the search for the men, with their Twitter account describing the group as "leading us all on a merry chase through fields."

  16. Sentence increased for knife-wielding expublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 2 August 2018

    Judges have increased the sentence of a Hull man who broke into his ex-girlfriend's home and tried to stab her.

    Royal Courts of JusticeImage source, GOV.UK

    31-year-old Matthew White has a history of violence against ex-partners.

    White smashed his way into his victim's house through a window, armed with a large kitchen knife, and attacked her while her three children were upstairs.

    He terrorised her for 45 minutes and threatened to kill her mother, who'd come to her daughter's aid.

    White, of Manor Way, Anlaby, was given a six-year jail term at Hull Crown Court in May but today the Court of Appeal increased his sentence to nine years, after three judges said the original term was too soft.

    White was on bail for harassment at the time of the attack after sending his ex abusive and threatening messages.

    Quote Message

    Not only did White’s actions directly impact his victim, but we can also only begin to imagine the long-terms effects this is likely to have on the children who experienced this terrible ordeal. It is only right that White should serve a longer sentence.”
