Suicide Rates Lowest On Record
The number of suicides in England are at an all-time low, Care Services Minister Phil Hope announced today as he published the latest annual report on suicide prevention. Care Services Minister Phil Hope said: "The fact that suicide rates continue to fall is encouraging. We will continue to work with the NHS, local authorities and other agencies to try to prevent suicides as far as possible. Investment in good mental health services, including early intervention when people have mental health problems is very important. Our new strategy for mental health, called New Horizons, which will be published shortly, will focus on promoting positive mental health and wellbeing." Professor Louis Appleby, Clinical Director for Mental Health at the Department for Health said: "It is excellent that the suicide rate is at a new low, but front-line agencies need to re-double their efforts if we are going to bring it down further at a time of recession."
Man Charged Over Jewellery Raid

Oliver Mazirel, of Ivydore Avenue, Worthing, West Sussex, was charged with robbery and possessing an imitation firearm and remanded in custody. He is due to appear before Isle of Wight magistrates on Friday. A woman, aged 23, also of Worthing, has been released on police bail.
Police Put Brakes On Road Crime
Traffic police from Greater Manchester have taken part in a day of action to clamp down on illegal drivers across Salford. One person was arrested as part of the operation for offences including: drink driving, burglary and assault. Eleven cars were seized at checkpoints across the city. Using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) equipment, officers identified vehicles reported as stolen and those being driven by uninsured drivers. Vehicle examiners were on hand to check those suspected of being cloned. A sniffer dog was used to check vehicles for drugs. Hand-held fingerprinting units were also used to check the prints of those stopped during the day.
