This is East Midlands Today with Kylie Pentelow and Dominic Heale. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Our top story tonight - a mobility scam lands a father and son in jail. | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Shane and Laurence Johnson lived the high life by conning vulnerable | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
pensioners out of their savings. believe they are totally motivated | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
by money and nothing else, which makes them very heartless. Also | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
tonight - a security guard is shot in the leg as armed raiders target | :00:30. | :00:37. | |
a convenience store. Andy authorities say that people are to | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
blame for unnatural growth in the pigeon population and all the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
problems that caused us. Past it! Goodbye after 37 years teaching at | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
the same school. The best thing is being in the classroom, not filling | :00:55. | :01:05. | |
:01:05. | :01:08. | ||
in paperwork or meetings, actually Good evening. Welcome to Friday's | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
programme. First tonight, the father and son who conned the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
elderly in a mobility scooter scam. Trading Standards officers believe | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Shane and Lawrence Johnson from Kegworth could have made as much as | :01:19. | :01:26. | |
�100,000 from their dodgy dealings. They lived the high life - | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
including driving luxury sports cars. Tonight, the Johnsons are | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
starting a prison sentence after a judge described what they'd done as | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
a disgrace. Mike O'Sullivan has this report. Father and son Shane | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
and Lawrence Johnson arrving at Nottingham Crown Court. They'd | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
already pleaded guilty to a string of consumer protection offences. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
Would you like to apologise? Two of the companies the Johnsons were | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
involved in. This woman's 86 year- old dad was targeted twice in | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
Nottingham, overcharged for two mobility scooters. The second time | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
after they'd been arrested. I don't believe have their clients' best | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
interests at heart, they are totally motivated by money and | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
nothing else, which makes them very hard as people. Off camera, they | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
told me they were sorry and wanted to stay in business to repay the | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
victims and that included the disabled and amputees. They told | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
that to the judge as well but he said they were not fit and proper | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
people to be involved in any business involving the vulnerable | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
and he jailed them for 12 months. The Johnsons set up Nottingham | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
Mobility in 2008 based at Ruddington in Nottinghamshire. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
Shane Johnson later started another company based at his home and | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Kegworth. Trading Standards officers have uncovered 27 victims | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
involving more than �30,000, but say this could be the tip of the | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
iceberg. They were taking money from ability eight and were not | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
supplying or they were overcharging or in some cases persuading people | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
to buy things they did not really need. Sometimes supplying them | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
several times with the same thing in a short period. Reputable | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
traders have also been appalled and have backed calls for more | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
regulation. We are dealing with the vulnerable and elderly in our | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
market place and they come to us nine out of 10 times in some sort | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
of distress so they want help and the last thing people should be | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
doing is taking advantage of them. Jac O'Brien left the court saying | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
she was delighted and relieved that the Johnsons had been sent down. | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
She hoped it delivered a clear message to unscrupulous dealers. In | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
our Leicester studio is Troy Young from Age Concern. You have had the | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
details, sadly, this thing isn't unusual? It isn't. I must admit, I | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
was shocked and disgusted when I heard about the scale of this. And | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
my heart goes out to the victims. Do you think we can never beat | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
people like the Johnsons, who prey on the elderly and vulnerable? | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
sort of thing is completely avoidable. At the end of the day, | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
people need to avoid buying the sort of equipment from cold colours, | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
there was never any need to do that. Also, do not feel pressurised by | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
hard-selling tactics, get several quotes and take your time and shop | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
around. You mentioned a few things but is there anything else that | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
elderly people should be thinking about to be found themselves being | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
called? There are plenty of reputable dealers out there, and | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
suppliers, as the report said. They can come to organisations like | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
ourselves, Age Concern, for help or speak to the local council, there | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
is no need for them to struggle but the sort of decision On the Run. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
am sure families and friends of the elderly are thinking about what | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
they could do to make sure their friends and relatives are not | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
caught out in this way, is there any advice? And sure families want | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
to help and nowadays younger members of the family might be able | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
to assist with things like searching for information on the | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
internet. Older people should not feel reluctant to approach families | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
for assistance in this important matter. Thank you. A police hunt is | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
underway this evening after a security guard was shot and wounded | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
in an attempted robbery outside a supermarket in Eastwood. James | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
Roberson is there. What has happened? This normally busy road | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
is sealed off. After the attack on a security guard at this Tesco | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
Express between Eastwood and Kimberly. It happened between | :05:50. | :05:58. | |
1:25pm and the skippers attacked along Edward Road. A security van | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
arrived for a routine of restocking of the cash machine outside and one | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
of the guards was jumped by the attackers, one of them shot 10, | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
several times to the leg and the injured guard was given first aid | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
and taken to hospital for further treatment. Forensic checks were | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
continuing at the scene tonight, which became something of a | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
curiosity to locals earlier. The police are still interviewing | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
people nearby when the attack took place. We have identified a number | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
of witnesses. We will be speaking to them individually and taking | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
accounts from them and were necessary statements. There will be | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
additional uniformed patrols in the area, those are senior officers | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
attached to this and an incident room has been set up and manned by | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
experienced detectives. Group 4 security have confirmed this | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
evening that their security guard was shot just above the knee cap | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
and he is in the Queen's Medical Centre but his injuries are not | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
life-threatening. The police are still looking for three men who did | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
not get away with any money but did get away in a black vehicle, we're | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
not sure what sort. The police are still keen to talk to anybody who | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
might have seen this incident and they would like them to contact | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
either Nottinghamshire police or, if they wish, anonymously on crime | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
stoppers. Thank you. You're watching East Midlands Today. Still | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
to come. The weekend weather forecast with Sara. And fashion in | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
the capital, Leicester's Dugans have opened up a boutique off | :07:31. | :07:40. | |
Carnaby Street. -- Leicester students. A man has been remanded | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
in custody after appearing in court accused of attempting to rape a | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
child. Officers were called to woodland in Rainworth on Wednesday | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
afternoon following reports of an attack on a ten year-old boy. Shaun | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
Tudor, who's 43 and formerly of the West Midlands, has been charged | :07:52. | :08:01. | |
with the attempted rape and sexual touching of a child aged under 13. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Derby City Council has stepped in after reports of problems with body | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
piercings. The Health Protection Agency linked a number of cases of | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
infected piercings to a single business in the city. Derby City | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Council is investigating. The firm, which hasn't been named publicly, | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
has been advised about its hygiene practices. An influential report | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
has revealed that Nottinghamshire police don't have enough non- | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
frontline staff to replace the number of officers it plans to cut. | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
The findings by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary have | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
raised concerns about the impact on levels of crime. Quentin Rayner has | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
more details. This report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
Constabulary into all 43 forces is acknowledged to be the most | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
authoritative study so far into the effect of the budget cuts. HMIC has | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
established that between March 2010 and March 2015, the Derbyshire | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
force proposes to lose 149 officers, Leicestershire expects to see a | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
drop of 214 officers but the biggest fall is likely to be in | :08:59. | :09:09. | |
:09:09. | :09:10. | ||
Nottinghamshire, with 455 posts going. The force has to find | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
savings of �46 million over the next four years. But the HMIC has | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
calculated that it doesn't have enough non-frontline officers to | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
redeploy to plug the gap. Chief constables are in an impossible | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
situation to meet the budget reductions. The HMI see report has | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
also said that if you reduce numbers by more than 10%, which | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
will happen in Nottinghamshire as indeed elsewhere, there is a risk | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
of crime going up by 3%. In a statement, Nottinghamshire Police | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
said: We do not underestimate how very difficult it will be to | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
further reduce crime in the coming years. Nottinghamshire is facing | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
the fourth highest budget cut and to achieve all our ambitious plans | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
with ever shrinking budgets will be a major challenge. The Home | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
Secretary, Theresa May, insists that it is possible for the police | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
to make significant budget cuts without affecting frontline | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
policing by reducing bureaucracy and backroom functions. It's a view | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
not shared at grassroots. There are plenty of other areas of government | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
that you can find these savings and. The first duty of any government is | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
to protect citizens and if you cut the people out of the police | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
service, you will be in danger of putting that at serious risk. | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
government says the emphasis must be on deployment and visibility. | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
But Labour is calling for the police budgets to be renegotiated. | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
Thousands of people are dying everyday in the worst drought in | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
Somalia for 60 years. And now communities across the East | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
Midlands are trying to help. Paul Bradshaw has been to the St | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
Matthews area in Leicester, where they're raising money for those | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
affected. Shocking images of children who are dying. What's | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
happening in Somalia might be far away but it's affecting thousands | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
of people in the East Midlands. Take Fatima. She works in a | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
restaurant in Leicester. Every month she sends money back to her | :11:11. | :11:21. | |
:11:21. | :11:21. | ||
relatives in Somalia. She says her customers feel bad for eating. | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
sit down and it's nice food and people are dead because of having | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
no fit. In this mosque, people are, to pray, asking for help for family | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
and friends thousands of miles away. They are starving. If the rain does | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
:11:46. | :11:47. | ||
not, in a very short time, life will be very difficult. They are | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
like, we are suffering here, and we're doing our best. If I have any | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
money, I send it straight away. They don't have food, they don't | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
even have shatter. They don't have, even small children are dying on | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
the streets. Because of hunger. Members of the Somali community on | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
Leicester's St Matthews estate are now raising money to try and help. | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
There are households who have relatives in those areas and can | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
you imagine when you get the phone call and your relatives cannot even | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
speak to you because of the tragedy? Some people may be help | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
one month's worth of food or water and some people, for example, if | :12:34. | :12:43. | |
they find a kilo of meat, people cannot it to cook it. There's a | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
saying in Somalia. Use your feet to escape drought. Today, the message | :12:47. | :12:56. | |

Disasters Emergency Committee website, where you'll find several | :12:58. | :13:08. | |
:13:08. | :13:17. | ||
Next, a growing problem that spreads disease as well as making | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
our towns and cities a mess. We're talking about pigeons. The | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
authorities say people are to blame because they feed them, leading to | :13:22. | :13:32. | |
a big increase in numbers. Simon These pictures are a problem, | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
because their population has become unnaturally high. The authorities | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
say it is because humans have made their population so high. We have | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
got bread, chapatis, scorns. This is what we find on a daily basis | :13:47. | :13:55. | |
here. We have got a pile of rice, and also some chicken. A pile of | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
chips as well with pieces of bread. The pigeons do not eat this, they | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
do not eat chicken. In the last nine months, Mohammed has fined 13 | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
people for feeding pigeons large amounts of food. �80 fines under | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
the litter laws. Today was the first of four and roadshows warning | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
people not to feed pigeons. Should you be spending money on roadshows? | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
Yes, because it matters to people. What we do not want is a city where | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
we have people leaving out a lot of food which attracts rats and other | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
things. This is about saving money, because if we do not have people | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
leaving this food out, the problem will reduce. At the moment, the | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
council is not considering a cull. But do people think the pigeons are | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
a problem? They damaged buildings. I am sure there are plenty of other | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
areas out of the city centre where they could go. There are the fabric | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
of the country, so it is neither here nor there. There will always | :14:57. | :15:07. | |
be pigeons. To me, in the 21st century they should not be here. | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
You do not see any mess in the city centre. The people are still being | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
encouraged to feed wild birds in their gardens. Some of their | :15:16. | :15:25. | |
numbers are in decline. But pidgins are a different matter. -- pigeons. | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
It is famed for being one of the most fashionable streets in the | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
world, but for the first time De Montfort University is such -- | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
using Carnaby Street in London to showcase the work of art and design | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
students. They have set up a store to attract customers and industry | :15:41. | :15:51. | |
:15:51. | :15:54. | ||
Swinging Sixties, Carnaby Street was the place to be seen in the | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
world of fashion and pop. Fast- forward 50 years, and Leicester | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
students are using it as a way of showcasing their work, but in a | :16:02. | :16:10. | |
very modern way with a pop-up of beauty. From unusual on where it -- | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
underwear and two other close, this area has been taken over by the | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
students. It is the first Eric -- the first time they have done this. | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
The idea is to put their work into the heart of the fashion capital. | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
It gives people to have a chance to put their work in the eye it. And | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
also it leads industry insiders see it. One of the students is from | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
Leicester. She is 22 and has already been named as a young | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
designer to watch by British fashion the legends. But this is | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
the first time she has seen her clothes in store. As soon as I | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
walked in this morning, it was like old, well, it is in the shop! There | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
is a price tag on it, as they is my name on it. It is actually real. It | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
is not just sort of a thing I have dreamed of. The store is owned by a | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
former De Montfort University student who has given it a to the | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
Department rent-free for a month. Past graduates are also given the | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
chance to showcase their work as well. To make this a reality, | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
drying clothes are, your work, that is what fashion is all about. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
pity it will close on Sunday. Students are hoping they will be | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
the next in the long run editors or a -- of designers to make their | :17:36. | :17:44. | |
mark on Carnaby Street. -- the boutique. I can remember Carnaby | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
Street in its heyday! Still to come, is the pressure back | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
on for Rebecca Adlington? And will it be perfect weather | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
Macro 4 v Nottingham Riviera? -- weather. | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
Time for the sport. And Mansfield's double gold medallist Rebecca | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
Adlington is aiming for more honours at the World Championships | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
in Shanghai. She is competing in three events. It is the last major | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
championships before the Olympics, and despite her previous success, | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
she admits she is feeling nervous. The it is so hard to make the | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
Olympics, especially with the depth we have in British swimming. | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
will be very hard in the Olympic trials. It will be so emotional for | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
people. Someone who knows she definitely | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
will be there is open waters when a Kerri Anne Payne. She has become | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
the first member of Britain's team, after winning in the world | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
championships postop the idea of swimming in a lake may be shivering, | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
but it is a fast-growing sport. Hundreds would be taking part right | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
here this weekend. It is bought at its simplest, a wet | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
suit and a stretch of water, and that is it. It with more lakes and | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
rivers opening up, competitions are taking off. You are fighting with | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
others. There is lot of close contact, elbows to the head. It is | :19:24. | :19:29. | |

For many children, today is the one that they have been waiting for, | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
the last day of school before the holiday. But for one | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
Nottinghamshire teacher it is the end of an era. | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
Simon Fletcher began work at his school in West Bridgford 37 years | :22:40. | :22:49. | |
ago, and has been there ever since. When Simon Fletcher started in the | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
classroom at 79-2 37 years ago, he never believed he would be there | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
now. The best thing is being in the classroom, actually teaching. It is | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
not paperwork, it is actually teaching. He tells lots of jokes | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
and he loves maths, and is really funny and a great teacher. He is a | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
lovely man. We are sad to see him go. He is a really good guy. He has | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
put loads of effort into helping the school. He has talked to | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
several generations of the same family, and is so happy he has | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
never even applied for another job anywhere else. He has only had one | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
day off sick. Now he has decided to retire. The there are one or two | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
people I have taught who their parents are also the Africa were | :23:42. | :23:52. | |
:23:52. | :23:52. | ||
also in my class. I have not get got to grandparents! To mark his | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
dedication, the children have composed a special song, organised | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
a party, and thanks to the renaming of the school drive, ensured that | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
this is one teacher who will soon be gone but never forgotten. | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
He does not look old enough, does Know, he does not. Getting that | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
drive named after him, he deserves a medal. | :24:18. | :24:28. | |

Today was the first day the beach opened in Nottinghamshire. There is | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
lots of entertainment there as well, although a few just decided to bury | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
themselves in the sand. You could get inside these big inflatables if | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
you were brave enough. It takes a lot of energy to try and get them | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
to turn round on the water. I think it did get everybody's approval. | :25:00. | :25:10. | |

and it was a very nice day. He is a Thank you for that. It has been | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
changing throughout the afternoon. We have not seen too many showers, | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
but there is still a chance through the early part of this evening. One | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
or two could be on the heavy side as well. They do slowly start to | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
clear a way towards the south. We have got clearer skies, and it will | :25:58. | :26:07. | |
be a chilly night. It could be as low as eight Celsius. In rural | :26:07. | :26:15. | |
areas it could go down to four or five Celsius. It means that first | :26:15. | :26:18. | |

fluctuate as well. The further inland you are, temperatures will | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
be quite good. It will feel quite warm in the sunshine. Saturday | :26:53. | :27:01. | |
night in two Sunday will be dry, especially once the showers go away. | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
