ALCOHOL SEIZED IN LONG EATON

More than a dozen cans of Carling were seized from youths who had gathered in Shakespeare Street Long Eaton. Local PCSOs had been called out after reports of youths damaging a defibrillator. The youths thought they could run away along with their box of Carling but PCSOs soon caught up with them and seized the alcohol. The incident occurred at 1.50pm on Friday January 29th. A spokesman for Derbyshire police confirmed no damage was found to the defibrillator and that warnings were given for behaviour and coronavirus-related issues. There were no arrests and parents were informed.

LONG EATON MAN JAILED

A man who stole a bicycle from a driveway, and more than £730 worth of goods from shops in the Long Eaton, Sawley, and Sandiacre area has been jailed. 51-year-old Simon Courtnage pleaded guilty to stealing the bike from Grosvenor Avenue in Sawley on Thursday 21 March, and a series of thefts from four different stores between Wednesday 20th March and Thursday 25th April. He was also found to be in breach of a suspended sentence for an earlier offence and was jailed for a total of 42 weeks. Sergeant Jason Limb, of the Long Eaton Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Courtnage has shown to be prolific in his offending, admitted the thefts and has now been jailed for his crimes. We would like to thank the stores for their cooperation and support during the investigation. Shoplifting affects retail staff and customers alike and this type of behaviour won’t be tolerated.”

TOY SHOPPING

Toy shopping is about to get much easier after a major retailer announced it will be launching toy shops within Tesco stores across the county. The Entertainer's recognisable branding will be splashed across the aisles of two local Tesco Extra stores. Customers at Tesco Long Eaton Extra and Ilkeston Extra will be able to browse a wide variety of toys from the Entertainer, including Barbie, Lego, Hot Wheels, Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol. The new toy sections are already open in Ilkeston and Long Eaton. The Entertainer is due to roll out to more than 750 Tesco stores in the UK throughout the year and is set to create more than 1,000 new jobs.
