The owners of gyms, health clubs and other sports outlets have been put on

lorry near Kidderminster.
USN Sports nutritional and other supplements were taken by thieves from an
articulated lorry parked overnight on Thursday, June 17, in a lay-by on
the A450 between the Mustow Green traffic island and Shenstone.
The driver, who had been sleeping in the cab, awoke at 7am on June 18 to
find that thieves had cut open the curtain-sided trailer and removed the
contents of three pallets. The blue lorry had the word ‘Norfolkline’ in
lighter lettering along the sides.
Stolen were 139 tubs of powdered protein, used for making shakes, and more
than 1,000 bottles of the hormone booster 19 Anobol Testo - each bottle
containing 90 capsules. The haul has a retail value of more than £52,000.
PC Derya Mustafa said: “These products may well be offered cheaply to the
owners of gyms, weightlifting clubs and other retail sports outlets. If so
they should be wary and contact us immediately.

above please call police on 0300 333 3000.

Dog owners are being urged to keep their pets on leads when visiting the Yorkshire Dales National Park to help protect ground-nesting birds and their young.
'The next few months are vitally important for the ground-nesting birds that live in the national park and we are asking people to remember that dogs don't mix with them,' said Alan Hulme, ranger services manager with the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (YDNPA).
'A dog may mean no harm to birds but, as far as they are concerned, your pet is a predator that could threaten them and their young. While parent birds are taking evasive action to lure the dog away from the nest, the eggs could get cold or be taken by scavengers like crows, and newly-hatched birds could die of exposure.'
The YDNPA has produced The Big Five leaflet
that gives information about the main types of ground-nesting bird found within
the national park's boundaries. These include skylark, red grouse, curlew,
lapwing and oystercatcher.
The leaflet offers advice on how visitors can limit disturbance to
ground-nesting birds in the national park. This includes:
