Test-drive scam
A CAR salesman on a test drive was knocked to the ground by a man who stole his £22,000 pick-up truck.
The salesman, from Monty’s on Penistone Road, Sheffield, had taken a red Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian to the car park at Greno Woods, Grenoside, where he had an appointment to meet a supposed ‘Forestry Commission’ employee.
But the appointment proved to be a scam to lure him to the remote car park, where the vehicle was stolen.
Colleague Matt Jeffrey said: “We want other dealers to be aware this has happened.”
Flowers to rescue
FIREFIGHTERS were called to a house on Norton Hammer Lane, Norton, Sheffield, after the flame from a candle set fire to a pair of curtains. A woman in the house used water from a vase of flowers to douse the flames at 8.30pm on Friday.
Trainers stolen
A MAN had his trainers stolen from his feet in a street robbery. The 24-year-old was targeted on Lockoford Road, Chesterfield, at 2am on Friday, by thugs who also stole his wallet.
