And Finally... Bank robber caught after £180 getaway car won't start
A robber was caught as he ran past a police station after his clapped-out getaway car broke down.
Richard Angel, 44, held up a Nationwide building society guard at gunpoint and stole £15,000.
He tried to flee in the 12-year-old Ford Scorpio he bought on eBay for £180 - but it had a flat battery.
Angel, who carried out the raid in July in his hometown, Bournemouth, was jailed for six years after admitting a charge of robbery and possessing an imitation firearm.
