Officers say it was a targeted attack and are treating it as arson.

Is it too early to start saying "it's getting a bit back-endish"?

A man's been left with a legal bill of nearly £10,000 after trying to claim compensation for falling because of missing cobbles on a footpath in Scarborough in 2014.

North Yorkshire County Council originally agreed to the claim and made an interim payment of £1,000 to the man who said he'd fallen on Merchant's Row in the town (pictured).

But photographic evidence showed a defect wasn't present at the time the man claimed to have tripped over it.

He agreed to pay the council's full legal costs, a bill of £9,696, less than an hour before the case was due to go to court earlier this month, the council has revealed.

Pedestrians were awarded at least £2.1m in compensation after tripping on pavements in the past year, research has revealed.

Official figures show 10,572 people made claims against local councils, but of those only 859, that's just 8%, were successful.

Two vets examined her injury and decided her suffering was so severe that she needed to be put to sleep.

Whoever left the kitten also left a note which said they couldn't afford the £300 vet's bill to remove her tail.

Filmed in Goathland on the North York Moors, ITV's Heartbeat depicted the cosy life of a police constable in the 1960s.

Lisa Winward (pictured), who took over the top police job in North Yorkshire on Wednesday, started as a special on the force 25 years ago.

She says a recent inspection found North Yorkshire police's efficiency needs to be improved and she's looking at new ways of working with less "old-fashioned bureaucracy".

The Chief Constable says: "The public image may be a little bit Heartbeat, but in reality we’re a modern police service working on 21st Century issues.

"We need slick processes and systems to help us to do that job."
