Woman knocks on ex's door after suspicious feeling and whole world crumbles
Alice thought she was rekindling a lost romance when she reconnected with Mark, a childhood friend. Instead, she became the victim of a devastating romance fraud Alice thought she was rekindling a lost romance when she reconnected with Mark, a childhood friend and former schoolmate. Instead, she became the victim of a devastating romance fraud that cost her £42,000 and left her emotionally shattered. Unlike most romance scams, which begin online between strangers, Alice, a solicitor from Shropshire, knew her fraudster personally. She and Mark, not their real names, had once dated briefly in their twenties, shared dozens of mutual friends on Facebook, and had exchanged occasional birthday greetings over the years. Their renewed connection began in October 2020, when Mark started messaging her regularly. They bonded over shared memories, tastes in music and food, and soon met in person at a pub they had frequented as teenagers. "It was amazing. It was like my youth was back," Alice told the BBC. "We had a shared history. I felt completely at home with him." Their relationship developed quickly. Mark met Alice's friends and family, and she trusted him completely. So when he confided that he was struggling with business debts due to the coronavirus pandemic, she didn't question it. He even showed her threatening messages to back up his claims and said he couldn't bring her to his home for safety reasons. "He made it very clear that he needed help," she said. "I was essentially in a position where I wanted to save him." By April 2021, Alice had loaned him £20,000. As a solicitor, she took the precaution of formalising the loan in writing and verifying that Mark was in the process of selling his property to repay her. But the sale never materialised - and neither did the repayments. Over time, the amount she lent him ballooned. Alice paid for everything from rent and clothes to medical treatments and therapy sessions. She even covered the cost of a car and funded trips to Wimbledon and Croatia. She was there for Mark emotionally, and he was even by her side when her grandfather died. But behind the scenes, Mark was living a double life. In October 2023, after lending him a total of £57,000 - of which he had only repaid £14,000 - Alice ended the relationship over the phone. Feeling suspicious, she drove to Mark's house for the first time. There, she encountered a woman she recognised as Mark's supposed ex, Julie, standing in the driveway with Mark's dog, whose vet bills Alice had paid. Julie told Alice to leave and warned her not to return, accusing her of stalking. Mark had reportedly told Julie a completely different story. When Alice insisted she could prove their relationship, Julie threatened to call the police. Alice's final meeting with Mark took place in a supermarket car park, where he claimed he had cancer and had gone back to Julie for emotional support. But when Alice spoke with a neighbour, the truth emerged: Mark had been living with Julie the entire time. "For the whole period he was with me, promising a life together, he was going home to her every day," Alice said. The couple moved out shortly after Alice's confrontation. Their landlady later confirmed that Mark still owed her five months' rent. Alice reported the matter to police in December 2023, but was initially told it was a civil matter and that no crime had been committed. Undeterred, she sought help from Love Said, a charity supporting victims of emotional and financial abuse. Co-founder Anna Rowe told the BBC that many police forces lack awareness of "in-person" romance fraud, often dismissing it or shaming the victims. With the charity's support, Alice filed a report with Action Fraud. "They asked, 'Are you saying this man deliberately entered a relationship to get your money?' And I said, 'Yes, I am.'' On the anniversary of their breakup in 2024, Alice received a £120 bank transfer from Mark. He reportedly told investigators he plans to repay the debt monthly - meaning it would take him 30 years to clear, by which time Alice will be 80. Detective Inspector Daniel Fenn, from West Mercia Police 's economic crime and cyber unit, said romance fraud cases are often complex and emotionally charged. "We have trained officers dedicated to tackling fraud and additional resources in place to investigate these types of crimes,' he said. But for Alice, the damage is already done. She says it's not just about the money, as the scammer also stole "my trust, my love, my future".

We saw bodies as smirking ‘Terminator' gunman who slaughtered 5 prowled our quiet street… the bloodbath still haunts us
The Ted Bundy-obsessed gunman's twisted rampage came after a 'catastrophic failure' by police GUN RAMPAGE We saw bodies as smirking 'Terminator' gunman who slaughtered 5 prowled our quiet street… the bloodbath still haunts us WITH neat, well-tended gardens and neighbours chatting over their picket fences, Biddick Drive feels like a haven of peace in the heart of a bustling city. Yet a terrible shadow has been cast over this seemingly idyllic cul-de-sac - and locals are still struggling to shake off the memories of August 12, 2021, when blood ran in the streets, leaving five dead. 16 Plymouth gunman Jack Davison slaughtered five people in his sickening rampage Credit: Facebook / Jake Davison 16 Davison killed his mother at their home in Biddick Drive, Keyham, before going on a shooting spree down the road Credit: Neil Hope 16 Local resident Victoria White said she never used to worry about locking her door - but does now Credit: Neil Hope It was on that hot, humid evening in Plymouth four years ago that deranged gunman Jake Davison emerged from his 51-year-old mother's terraced house, having shot and killed her. Thick-set, his body pumped up through steroid abuse and hours in the gym, he then strolled downhill, spraying locals with rounds from a Weatherby pump-action shotgun as he went. Eye-witnesses told how the Ted Bundy-obsessed gunman - who had branded himself "Terminator" before the rampage - was apparently enjoying himself as he shot neighbours Michelle Parker and her son Ben Parsonage, injuring both. Ben recalled: "He had a smirk on his face, like he didn't care what he was doing." By the time Davison's murderous 19-minute rampage came to an end, five people lay dead or dying on the streets of Plymouth's Keyham district. It was one of the worst mass shootings in British criminal history. Unsurprisingly, those living on the road are still haunted by that tragic day. As one resident told The Sun: "When you're out of the house now, you take notice of who's around. The memories fade – they don't leave." In addition to his mum Maxine, victims included three-year-old Sophie Martyn, nicknamed 'Daddy's Princess', her father Lee, 43, shot three times, Stephen Washington, 59, a carer for his disabled wife who was walking his husky dog through nearby parkland, and artist Kate Shepherd, 66, blasted outside a hair salon. 16 Stephen Washington was killed in the Keyham shooting while walking his dog Credit: PA 16 Lee Martyn, 43, and daughter Sophie Martyn, three, were also killed Credit: Tim Stewart 16 The funeral of little Sophie and her father Lee Credit: PA Finally, confronted by unarmed PC Zach Printer, who bravely ran to within 20 metres of the killer shouting for him to stop, 22-year-old Davison turned the gun on himself. Within days, reports emerged of his troubled state of mind. One former teacher told of Davison's unhealthy love of guns. Another had concerns about his anger management. CCTV appears to show Jake Davison during Plymouth shooting spree His desperate mother, with whom he had a violent and volatile relationship, told relatives of his obsessive use of energy drinks and muscle-boosting supplements while his absent father said he "was in his own world", largely devoid of emotion. Later, an inquest jury would hear how staff at Plymouth's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service noted that Davison, diagnosed as autistic 10 years earlier, enjoyed violent computer games and used "sexual talk which was quite extreme". Aged 13, his ambition was to be a sniper. Police enquiries showed that, as an adult, he became immersed in the shocking world of incels – a violent online sub-culture dominated by men unable to find love. 16 The scene at Biddick Drive after the tragedy Credit: Chris Eades 16 Local Arthur Beacham said 'Any one of us could have been a victim' Credit: Neil Hope 16 He was out waling his dog on the evening the tragedy unfolded Credit: Neil Hope But apprentice crane driver Davison's mental health background was only one factor in his victims' fate. In concluding that all five were unlawfully killed, an inquest jury pointed to a "catastrophic failure" by Devon and Cornwall Police. Officers granted him a firearms licence in 2018 in the full knowledge that he had assaulted teachers and a fellow student. And although in September 2020 he launched a "ferocious, intense and unprovoked attack" on a teenage boy and 15-year-old girl, he was placed on a "deferred change programme" called Pathfinder instead of facing a court. Davison 'viewed women with contempt' and sympathised with incel culture An inquest heard how Davison spent a lot of time reading and writing about 'incel' culture. The term refers to "involuntary celibates" with the movement labelled a "hate" group as many followers believe they are owed sex by women. Incels believe they have no possibility of finding a partner to get love, validation or acceptance from. In turn, this makes some incels want to strike out at the world because they have been rejected by girls, while others blame attractive men for their perceived problems. The self-confessed black sheep of the family also described himself as "The Terminator" in a slew of "deeply disturbing" posts. He shared posts referring to 'violence, misogynistic views, viewing women with contempt' and "sympathy with incel culture", the inquest was told. He also looked up Ted Bundy and incel serial killers, watched videos on firearms and how to reload them and posted a one minute clip from an online game called KillZone. Jurors heard Davison branded mum Maxine a "dirty insufferable, a vile creature" who was difficult to live with. His firearms licence was seized only in December 2020 after another Pathfinder member tipped off police that it remained valid. Yet it was returned seven months later after an officer decided Davison was "low risk" and his decision – which should have been signed off by a senior colleague – went unchallenged. Today, many Keyham residents cannot understand how laws supposed to protect them from gun crime proved so hopelessly ineffective. On Royal Navy Avenue – the route Davison took as he headed towards his final victim – resident Victoria White, 51, told us: "You think about those who died and their families and wonder how this could ever have happened. "I'd known [victim] Lee for years. I worked with him when I was 16 at a local Toshiba dealer. 16 Davison strolled downhill, spraying locals with rounds from a Weatherby pump-action shotgun as he went Credit: Facebook / Jake Davison 16 He was caught on CCTV during his twisted shooting spree Credit: Plymouth Police 16 "My neighbour and I saw someone lying on the ground just up the road. We thought they were unconscious because of drug use. But they had been shot there in broad daylight. "What happened was dreadful. It's always there with you. "When you're out of the house now, you take notice of who's around. "The memories fade – they don't leave. I never used to worry about locking my door…but I do now." Another neighbour, who asked to be named only as Paul, agreed. "I suffer from PTSD," he said. The memories fade – they don't leave" Resident Victoria White "I don't think what happened should ever be forgotten and I understand why people still have questions. "But it affected me very badly and I can't talk about it." Devon and Cornwall Police has since made major changes to its firearms licensing unit - more than doubling staffing levels to 99 by 2023, improving training procedures and appointing four senior managers instead of one to assess high-risk decisions. On Biddick Drive itself, there is an understandable reluctance among neighbours to talk about the shootings. The feeling was summed up by 85-year-old Arthur Beacham, out walking his springer spaniel Barney. 16 A photo of the Weatherby pump action shotgun used by Davison next to a standard sporting style 12 – gauge over – under twin barrel shotgun (below) shown in the inquest Credit: PA 16 Those on Biddick Drive are still haunted by the horror shooting Credit: Neil Hope "It's something that wants forgetting," he said. "What happened was awful, but it's gone, it's over, and we can't bring anyone back. The man was off his head. How do you deal with people like that? "Any one of us could have been a victim. I was out with my dog that evening and my usual walk would have taken me into his path. "For some reason, I decided we'd go to St Levan's Park instead." A few streets away, Manos, a gardener, said social media had made the aftermath of the tragedy worse for some residents. What happened was awful but it's gone, it's over and we can't bring anyone back. The man was off his head. How do you deal with people like that? Arthur Beacham He said: "Years ago, if a violent crime happened in your neighbourhood, you would chat it through with your family and friends and process it gradually in your own time. "Social media changed all that. Now photos flash up as 'memories' whether you want them to or not. And even if those photos aren't directly of the scene of the crime, they can still upset you by reminding you where you were and what you were doing at the time. "They come up on some thread and people share them, and suddenly everyone is weighing in." 'Moving on' But he added that Keyham remained a place people wanted to live. "My customers love it here," he said. "I don't hear anyone saying they want to leave." Latest figures from the estate agents' website Rightmove bear that out. Average sold prices reached a peak of £167,315 in 2022 and since then have risen by a further 9% to stand at £182,817. One young mother told how she'd moved into Biddick Drive – which comprises mostly rental properties – even though some friends couldn't understand why. "I wasn't here when it all happened. I've just taken the road as I found it," she said. "The truth is, it's a lovely community. It's quiet, people talk to each other, it feels safe for kids. "As far as I'm concerned, there's no stigma. Why wouldn't you want to live here?" It's the kind of spirit that has also been embraced by local businesses. At Henderson Local Convenience Store, yards from where Davison killed himself, the owner said her family had been welcomed and supported by locals. "This place lay mostly empty after what he did," she said. "It was briefly a café, then a shop but maybe because everyone remembered what happened, these businesses quickly closed. "We came in from outside. I had to ask a customer why a candle and bouquet of flowers had been left here. That was how I discovered what had happened. "Now we have many customers and they appreciate that we're trying to give them a good service. "Keyham is a good place to live. This is a strong community and it is moving on." 16 Victoria White saw a body lying on the ground after the shooting Credit: Neil Hope

Moment plain clothes police chase down thief and return bag to its owner before she even realised it was missing
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the moment plain clothes police chase down a thief and return a bag to its owner before she even knew it was gone. Shocking CCTV footage show Emad Lechhed steal the valuable accessory outside a pub on Cannon Street, London. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Emad Lechhed bends down and picks up the bag as if it is his own Credit: Facebook/City Of London Police 5 The 26-year-old calmly walks away from the busy pub Credit: Facebook/City Of London Police 5 Lechhed, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to four months in jail for theft The 26-year-old scoped out his target, on Martin Lane, and hovered in the area before pinching the bag on June 12. The clip shows Lechhed, dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, blue jeans, and sunglasses, calmly walk past a bustling pub. He simply kneels down and picks up a black bag from the floor, as if it belonged to him. The thief takes advantage of a split second the owner's back is turned from the street. But, within moments, three plain clothes police officers appear from nearby and chase the yob. They pursue him through busy streets and navigate congested London roads. The 26-year-old discarded the item as he was running, before being caught and detained on London Bridge in five minutes. Inspector Dan Green, of the City of London Police's proactive acquisitive crime team, said: 'The stolen bag, and the contents, was soon returned to the owner, before they knew it was stolen. 'The victim was full of praise for our officers when he got his bag back so quickly and we made an arrest. 'This is another fantastic result from our plain-clothed officers. 'Our warning to criminals; don't come into the City to steal bags. If you do, you risk being spotted by our plain-clothed officers, who will track you down, arrest you and bring you to justice.' Lechhed, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to four months in jail for theft. He was also slapped with a criminal behaviour order which prevents him from entering the Square Mile for two years. This comes as other shocking moments have been caught on camera across the UK. This is the wild moment all hell breaks loose after Morrisons shopper launches items at customers at self-checkout desks. The dramatic footage depicting staff breaking up the brawl, was captured inside an Eccles store, in Salford, Manchester, on June 3. It shows a woman hurling items in her basket through the air in front of horrified onlookers. Someone can be heard yelling "you stupid b****" as the irate shopper continues to throw products. Concerned Morrisons staff attempt to jump in and diffuse the situation with help from security guards. But the disturbing scene escalates after the woman kicks another customer, throwing her to the floor. Elsewhere, a cyclist was filmed tearing between traffic with a child clinging to his back before going the wrong way through a roundabout. Concerning footage showed the man riding in a cycle lane on Springfield Road, in west Belfast, with the youngster on his back. The child, who didn't appear to be wearing a helmet or any protection padding, was riding piggyback style. At one point the little one, donning a short sleeved red top and beige shorts, flung their legs out to the side - barely clinging on as they gripped the man's neck. Plus, watch the shocking moment a knifeman lunged at cops after biting his victim's ear off. The disturbing scenes unfolded after a robbery went wrong at a property in Leicester on July 8 last year. Dramatic body-cam footage shows Costel Remus Galoi lunging at police with a kitchen blade. 5 Three plain clothed police officers chase the thief down Credit: Facebook/City Of London Police
