Shoe fetishist fox has been plundering villager's footwear
Baffled police have finally solved a mystery after dozens of items of
stolen footwear were found stashed in a fox's den in Neunkirch,
Switzerland.
More than 40 trainers, boots, sandals and shoes were unearthed when a baffled local spotted a vixen trying to drag a pair of wellies into her lair.
Villagers had believed they'd become the target of a kinky foot fetishist until police unmasked the culprit. "We'd had many reports of items of footwear going missing from outside houses and we couldn't work out where they were going," admitted a police spokesman.

Now villagers have been asked to come forward and claim their stolen shoes from police. "They're a little bit chewed and dirty but most are in surprisingly good condition," said the spokesman.

German police warn of exploding train ticket machines
Police in the German state of Hesse have warned ticket vending machines for railway operator Deutsche Bahn might explode, after they found someone had been filling them with gas and trying to set them alight, possibly to get the money from inside.
Over the past few months unidentified suspects have been taping up any holes – like money slots – in train tickets machines before filling them with gas and attempting to blow them up. One machine in Karben, near Frankfurt, was shut after police had to defuse a gas-filled ticket machine.
The official warning, coming from the Hessian state office for criminal investigation and the police, said the volatile gas mixture didn't always ignite, but there was still a danger even after the culprits had given up. Passengers should avoid ticket machines that have been taped up, and let the police know immediately, they said.
A spokesman for Germany's main train operator Deutsche Bahn (DB) admitted to the paper that “although suspects wouldn't be able to get away with much money because of how regularly the machines are emptied, it does seem that this is criminal activity.” Deutsche Bahn has stepped up its safety policy since an initial explosion and is keeping a closer eye on ticket machines, the spokesman added.

Two young Irish mothers on life support after smoking 'contaminated' cannabis resin
Two young mothers are fighting for their lives after consuming cannabis resin which Irish police believe was contaminated. Medical teams are battling to save Samantha Morgan (24) and Alannah Molloy (25) who suffered multiple organ failure. Gardai believe the pair, who did not know each other, were dealt "contaminated" drugs by the same dealer and though to be cannabis - but there are also concerns it was mixed with some other more potent substance.
Samantha's mother revealed how she has "lost all hope" for her daughter. Fidelma Morgan, who lives in Drogheda, County Louth, said she believed her "little baby" was slipping away. "We've been told that the best case scenario is that Sam will be left with permanent brain damage. We are just distraught," she said. "She's my little baby and my only child, and now she's slipping away from me. We've lost all hope. My father is already making his way over from England for whatever will happen next. We're bracing ourselves for the funeral to be honest."
Ms Morgan was described as a "wonderful mother" to seven-month-old son JJ by family friends who were as shocked by the tragedy as her mother. It's believed that the young woman was socialising on Monday night and had taken the substance. The family of Alannah Molloy also revealed they have braced themselves for the worst: "We're under so much pressure right now, things are extremely difficult for us. But we honestly don't know whether she will [survive]." Ms Molloy, who has one child, lives in nearby Kilsaran with her brother. It's understood that she has also suffered "catastrophic" organ failure.
Cllr Pearse McGeogh, who knows the Molloy family, pleaded with other young people in the Co Louth area not to take anything resembling cannabis. "Please, please destroy it if you have any. We must avoid another situation like this. We are talking about two young girls now battling to survive." Sources close to the garda investigation said they believe they have identified the dealer who sold the drug.

Man told police he was trying to light a fart, not film up woman's skirt
A man walked into a bar and attempted to a take a photograph up a woman’s skirt, a court was told. A jury watched CCTV footage of Brian Whitehead entering Lloyd’s bar in the V Shed in Bristol and placing a mystery object under a woman’s clothing as she stood at the bar.
When Whitehead was tracked down he conceded to police his actions looked “distinctly dodgy” but insisted he had not been holding either a camera or a camera phone, saying it could have been a cigarette lighter. Whitehead, 39, of Easton Road, Bristol, denies committing an act outraging public decency, by placing a camera under a skirt in September last year. Whitehead denied his actions were lewd, said he had been drunk and denied using a camera or having a sexual motive.
Whitehead told the jury: “I don’t remember it clearly. I don’t know what I was doing. I believe I had a Clipper cigarette lighter, a black one. I think it was still in my hand after just having a cigarette.” In his police interview Whitehead suggested that what happened could have been an practical joke. He told officers: “Maybe I was trying to light a fart. It could have been a joke. Maybe someone says ‘I bet you a fiver if you light her fart’.”
In court, Whitehead told the jury: “When I made that comment it was a flippant remark in the interview room.” Whitehead said he wasn’t sober at the time and had a mobile phone without a camera. He said he had drank six to eight pints of Stella lager a day for 20 years, had a “very low” alcohol tolerance and could have been staggering at the time. He said: “I didn’t place a camera or camera device under the skirt of that girl at the bar.” The case continues.

Lost airport teddy bear 'seeks' owner
Bristol Airport is trying to find the
owner of an antique teddy bear left in a carrier bag within the departure lounge
over a year ago. Staff said the bear, who they believe is called Glyn, was found with an old
photograph dated 1918, and other items.
On the reverse of the photograph - sent to "our darling daddy" - it names the children and Glyn the bear. Airport police and security have tried to trace the passenger but to no avail, and are now asking the public for help.
Airport spokeswoman Jacqui Mills said it was obvious Glyn had been "well loved" for many years. "Glyn's temporary home is by my desk, but he needs to find his family," she added. "During the last 14 months we had been hopeful that the search would result in Glyn being reunited to his family.
"We have not been successful in this search and have drawn a blank, we would be delighted if anyone can help solve the mystery of Glyn." Anyone with information is asked to contact Bristol Airport.

Village dog show no more after erupting into violence
A village dog show erupted into violence, with a teenager punched in the face. The event, held at Higham Memorial Hall field in Kent, was started five years ago by Rachel Hodges, 49, and her mum Val Pascoe, 73, from Shorne.
But the show on Monday, which attracted more than 2,000 people and 1,000 dogs, was dogged by antisocial behaviour including a 15-year-old allegedly being punched by a member of the public because he didn’t like his parking space. Mrs Hodges says she and her friend have had enough and have pulled the plug on next year’s competition.
Mrs Hodges, of Gravesend, said: “We’re not doing it next year. We’re just a family running it and it was meant for local people but it’s just grown and grown and we had people coming down from as far away as Peterborough and a lot from London. We’ve just got too big. My friend’s 15-year-old son was hit when he was trying to help someone find a parking space. He was very shocked and his mum took him home.
“My husband and niece were also verbally abused by people who were not winning in the show. They were like football hooligans. One of them turned up just to cause trouble. It was frightening. If we did it again we’d probably need a security team and so we decided to just stop. I can’t put my family and friends at risk. It’s just sad that people want to do this.”
