The animals will remain in a large, temporary enclosure in the 1,000 sq km park, until vets are happy they've settled and are ready for life in the wild.

"Twenty-two cyber-related sex crimes being reported a day in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and the figures have doubled in the last five years."

Scotts Fish and Chips on the A64, near York, has seen coachloads of visitors wanting to try the traditional British dish, and has even translated their menu for Mandarin and Cantonese speakers.

But now the owner has agreed a deal in principle with a Chinese consortium to open an "authentic" Scotts in Chengdu

The southern Chinese city may be more than 5,000 miles away from the York shop but owner Tony Webster says the shop is becoming a household name.

"Later this year, if all goes to plan, Chinese tourists could be tucking into fish and chips at Scotts in North Yorkshire, while at the same time western tourists could be enjoying traditional fish and chips in southern China".

The passion for the chippy had been put down to the fish and chips Chinese president Xi Jinping shared with then Prime Minister David Cameron in 2015.

Paul Wallace, 47, a police constable with Humberside Police, stole the money after being given the role of liaison officer to the family of Paul Rutter, who had died suddenly in Leconsfield, in June 2015.

He later tried to cover up the theft by planting £65 in the police property store, amending his pocket notebook and duping another officer to find the money after a complaint was made by the deceased man's partner.

Wallace, of Willowdale, Hull, pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice at an earlier hearing and was sentenced at Grimsby Crown Court earlier.

Internal misconduct procedures are now under way, according to Humberside Police, after Wallace "failed to uphold and maintain the high standards both we, and more importantly, the public expect".

Jack Ritchie, from Sheffield, started gambling with his dinner money at the local bookies when he was 17. Seven years later, he took his own life.

His parents Liz and Charlie, who founded the charity Gambling with Lives, welcomed the news of the clinic for people aged 13 to 25, saying "Of course it's wonderful. And if Jack had had a referral there, then it probably would have saved him."

The new clinic for young people will open this year in London as part of an expansion of NHS services across England.

Fourteen other clinics for adult gambling addicts are set to open - the first in Leeds this summer, followed by others in Manchester and Sunderland.
