Siege Recalled In Court
A man has appeared in court after what was descried as an armed siege at a house in Scarborough last week. The 39-hour stand-off at a house on Herdborough Road ended on Wednesday after a six-year-old girl was brought out of the property. Paul Eames, 32, from Doncaster, has been charged with seven offences including false imprisonment and threats to kill. Scarborough magistrates remanded him in custody to appear at York Crown Court on 22 August.
Elderly Couple Beaten
An elderly farmer and his wife have been beaten and robbed in an attack at a farm in Co Durham. The farmer, aged 70, was beaten with a piece of wood after he confronted two men in the yard of Broom Mill Day Spar, near Ferryhill, at 6.30pm on Sunday. When his wife, also 70, went to intervene she too was beaten by the raiders, who had stolen property from a nearby vehicle. The couple were treated by paramedics for cuts, bruises, and shock. Two teenage men, aged 18 and 19, were later arrested on suspicion of assault and are being questioned by police at Newton Aycliffe.
Hunt For Missing Man
Specialist search officers have been scouring woods around Aberdeen for missing man Stuart Campbell who was last seen last Tuesday when he visited his baby daughter, who is a patient at the Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital. Wooded areas to the west of Aberdeen, off Lang Stracht and in Sheddocksley were searched over the weekend, but with no results so far.
