Last Saturday two men on a moped approached a 64-year-old woman in Canon Street at around 13.00 and stole a pendant off her necklace.

About half an hour later the same men are thought to have approached a woman in her 40s on Jarrom Street and took a 24-carat gold necklace she was wearing.

DC Steve Wallage said: “All the incidents have taken place in broad daylight in busy areas of the city and east Leicester."

He said officers were keen to speak to anyone who recognises the bike or the helmets worn by the men and urged people to think about covering their jewellery.

A group of rail workers narrowly avoided being hit by a passenger train near a level crossing in Nottinghamshire, a report has said, external.

The train had been approaching the crossing, in Egmanton, at about 125mph on 5 October when the driver spotted the contractors in the distance and sounded the horn.

However, the group did not immediately move. They only became aware of the train when it was about three seconds from hitting them and scrambled from the track with about one second to spare.

A report by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch found the group's leader had been trying to maximise working time on the track by ignoring an automated audible warning of an approaching train and relying on a human lookout to report when the train was getting close.

This makeshift system broke down when both he and the lookout became distracted and forgot about the approaching train

The RAIB recommended contract workers and their managers were reminded of the importance of following safety rules.

With the transfer deadline just a few hours away, Jose Mourinho has hinted Manchester United's pursuit of Leicester City defender Harry Maguire may have ended for now.

Asked about any potential deadline day signings at a news conference this morning, he said: "I am not confident and the market closes today so it's time, at least for me, to stop thinking about the market because the market will be closed."

Could it be a classic Mourinho bluff though? We will have to wait until 17:00 to find out.
