'War plaques for scrap' man jailed
Callous ... Ernie Jones
'War plaques for scrap' man jailed
By LAURA CAROE
A MAN has been jailed for ten months after trying to sell plaques from a war memorial for SCRAP.
Heartless Ernie Jones pleaded guilty to handling stolen goods after he was caught touting three of six stolen plates at a scrap metal yard.

Sick thieves steal war memorial statue
Callous ... thieves stole bronze statue from its plinth
SWNS
SICK thieves have stolen the bronze statue of a Second World War soldier from a memorial in a military town.
Disbelief
Sgt Mark Freeman, from Wiltshire police, said: "The statue is a one off commissioned sculpture with a monetary value of £10,000 but its actual worth to the community is much more as a tribute and war memorial."

The Royal British Legion aborts campaign partner = News of the World .
The Royal British Legion has dropped News of the World as its campaigning partner, as the nation's leading Armed Forces charity representing bereaved military families expressed revulsion at the latest phone hacking revelations.
The decision was taken following the disclosure that the bereaved relatives of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan may have had their phones hacked by a private investigator working for News of the World. The Legion has suspended all relations with the newspaper pending a resolution of the allegations.
Michele Price, another of the Legion's lawyers working closely with bereaved Armed Forces families, added: "The Legion acts as their voice and their champion. I feel that my families would expect inhuman behaviour on a remote battlefield but not at the hands of Fleet Street."
The Legion supports calls for a full judicial review into the matter with powers to call evidence and examine witnesses under oath.
