A thief who was caught red-handed by a vicar stealing lead from a church roof has been jailed. Claude Denham was caught stealing metal from the roof of St James’ Church, Devizes. The vicar and a parishioner – taking part in an all-night prayer vigil – called 999 after they heard noises. Lay worship leader Kirsty Wilmott described seeing a pair of legs through one of the stained glass windows.

Tesco shoppers were locked out of their cars when their key fobs stopped working en masse in Hertfordshire. Police and Ofcom have begun investigating after getting a stream of calls from confused drivers in the Royston car park who couldn’t open their vehicles. “My fob wouldn’t work – some lady couldn’t stop her alarm going off and there were at least three others going off,” one anonymous customer said. “I thought it was some kind of alien phenomena.”
