This is 'Breaking news' on the Wiltshire Times website.

Maybe a slow news day in Wiltshire :-o

So I wonder why they're highlighting this particular incident in this way. Maybe it's because it's a good photo :?

Police have now released an image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incident.

Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact PC Peacock by email at 2777@wiltshire.police.uk

Information should be provided quoting crime reference 54260092726.

Had to look a bit to find the original source of this one - it's on the Trowbride Police Facebook page :-o

https://www.facebook.com/TrowbridgePolice/

And which in turn reminds me of what always springs to mind when I hear Trowbridge mentioned - ex-Stranglers frontman Hugh Cornwell's song which I think alludes to the slow pace of life in Trowbridge :lol:

Catchy lo-fi tune, though =D>

And who I think was the last live act I saw - but in Dunfermline earlier this year, and not in Trowbridge :D

The last live act I saw was Spandau Ballet in the early 80s. 8-[
