SHARK’S SNACK
A sea angler was more than a trifle surprised when he removed a racing pigeon from the stomach of a 16kg blue shark he had caught off the Cornish coast. How the unfortunate bird happened to arrive inside the shark’s stomach was a mystery. At the time of the report, the fisherman was trying to track the pigeon’s owner.

Sinister motives were suspected when a number of drivers in West Wickham, Kent, found their brake cables had been cut in the night. Since February 2009, three Mercedes, a BMW, three Fords, a Nissan and an Austin were targeted.
