This is the sickening moment a heartless woman was caught on camera stealing from a charity which helps sick and disabled children. The brazen thief waits to see no-one is watching her before removing the jacket from a mannequin and stuffing it into her bag. The coat would have fetched around £25 for the Colchester Children's Charity, which chose to release the footage after getting fed up of their stock being stolen. Trustee Roy Kemp said: "It was a Sgt...

Dramatic video footage filmed by a passer-by shows the violence erupting outside the shop in Nottingham earlier this month. The pair can be seen yelling at each other before one of the women grabs the other by the hair and swings her round sending her crashing into a baby's buggy. One of the girls boots the other in the face before a security guard intervenes to separate the warring pair as stunned shoppers watched on in disbelief. A spokesman for...

Undercover footage has revealed over-crowded pigs cannibalising the rotting carcasses of other hogs in a shocking expose of factory farming. Shocking footage of the swine munching on the dead flesh of other pigs was shot by animal rights' activists at a pork farm.

Sick animals were left with the remains of dead pigs, contrary...

This shocking video shows the moment an angry customer went on a violent wrecking rampage at a taxi firm because drivers refused to give him a lift.

The driver of the Renault appears to be so distracted by his conversation that he carries on without stopping. But he got a nasty surprise when he was presented with dashcam footage which had clearly identified him as the guilty party by his registration plate. His insurers were landed with a £2,000 repair bill by the HGV's owner. And now the white van man could face penalty points and a fine under tough new driver distraction laws. The footage, filmed...

This is the terrifying moment a man waved a hammer and 10in knife at a property developer and his dad while screaming, "I'm going to f****** kill you".

A traumatised father-of-three says he is scared for his family after vile thugs attacked him in his home and daubed racist graffiti on his walls. Jamil Azam, 42, was at home alone fixing a door handle when he was hit from behind and knocked unconscious. When he came to and he found his walls daubed with the message, "Cockroaches. We need a final solution #Machester." Jamil said when he saw the graffiti with "Manchester" - incorrectly spelled "Machester" - he...

Hidden away in remote Victorian ex-prisons or behind barbed wire at the back of industrial estates, Britain detains around 30,000 people in privately-run detention centres on administrative grounds, ostensibly while attempts are made to remove them from the UK. During the election campaign every major political party’s manifesto contained a vow to end indefinite detention in immigration cases. All apart from the Conservative Party. The cruel practice has been criticised by MPs from both sides of the benches, Her Majesty’s Prison Inspectorate...
