Police cuts will be dangerous

POLICE: Home Secretary Theresa May was warned yesterday that new cuts to policing budgets could lead to “dramatic and dangerous” changes to the service.

According to Chief Superintendent Irene Curtis some forces will struggle to find the cash to survive under the government’s proposed financial arrangements.

“Even working collectively, I do not believe that 43 forces together will be able to meet the savings targets without it potentially leading to dramatic, unfair and dangerous variations in the level of service provided from one force to the next,” she said.

Four years in jail for sex attacker

ATTACK: A sex attacker was jailed for four and a half years yesterday after picking a fight with the wrong victim — a kickboxer who left him “limp” before raising the alarm.

Mark Willis punched and attempted to remove a 25 year-old woman’s clothes during an assault in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire last year.

But the victim, who decided to remain anonymous, fought back, eventually pinning Mr Willis in a headlock between her legs until he “went limp.”

After the trial, she said: “I’m extremely pleased that this traumatic ordeal is finally over.”
