We reported in May that Streeton of Willow Lane, Stanion, was sentenced at Chester Crown Court after confessing he travelled to the city where he had arranged to meet a woman to abuse her children — but he had, in fact, been communicating with a police officer.

20. Barry Bowen, Albert Johnson,
We told you in March how the burglars were jailed after they placed a tracker on a coin dealer’s car after arranging a bogus meeting and then stole rare coins worth £500,000 from his home near Towcester in March 2024, stabbing the victim in a leg during the raid. The coins have never been recovered but the pair were convicted at Gloucester Crown Court where Bowen was sentenced to seven years, six months and Johnson to six years, four months. Photo: Police
