Ebony looking for Blondie after Royal Bar fracas

Ebony is looking for blondie after a recent fracas in the Royal Bar.

A friend told the Bugle "we're trying to find her, so call me if you know this sunday girl from Grangemouth. Her name could be Maria for all we know, and one way or another we'll find her".

Adding "accidents never happen and this was premeditated, that woman must have a heart of glass. I thought I was dreaming when I found out and appealing to the public, picture this if this was a member of your family, that's the hardest part. Please don't leave us hanging on the telephone".

Will anything happen if they find her, we just want justice, we don't intend to rip her to shreds, was the final message.

He was a cleaver boy, the Court said we'll see you later boy. Crime fast tracked!

A masked thug who armed himself with a meat cleaver and robbed a lone shopkeeper of £1000 has been jailed for four years.

Greig Parker wore a balaclava while brandishing the terrifying weapon at shop worker Atta Shah as he prepared to close for the day in the Premier Store in Armadale, West Lothian.

He violently pushed the terrified worker backwards into a display stand while repeatedly demanding money from the till.

Parker, who was wearing a distinctive black and grey track suit, forced the worker to open the till then grabbed handfuls of cash before rushing out of the shop.

Road workers hit back after Menzies Road completed

Road workers hit back at social media taunts after completing the road works on Menzies Road more than three weeks ahead of target.

James 'the tarman' Collins told the Bugle "I pinned up all the negative stories and comments from social media on the inside of the portaloo, went down like a lead balloon as they covered up Sam Fox and Linda Lusardi but it had the desired effect".

WLC failing the public again, shameful way to treat the public at what is a vulnerable time when managing a bereavement.
