BURGLARS yesterday made off with a large amount of cash from a Hereford bookmakers.

The safe that the money was inside was also taken, while damage said to be totalling thousands of pounds was caused to the shop.
Detective Constable Charlotte Wells is investigating the incident. She said: “I would urge anyone who was in the area at the time – on their way home from a night out perhaps – and saw any suspicious people or vehicles near the bookmakers, to call us.
“The safe from the shop was also stolen and it is possible that this will be dumped by the thieves at some point, so I would ask people to contact us if one turns up near them.”
Anyone with information can call 0300 333 3000 quoting reference 191S 170313.

Men Charged Over Sexual Assaults On Teenage Girls - Hereford
Two men appeared in court last week in connection with two separate sexual assaults which took place in Hereford at the end of January.
On Wednesday, 13 March, Stephen Jennings – aged 38 (DOB 03/11/1974) and of Gurney Avenue, Hereford – appeared before Hereford Magistrates’ Court charged with one count of sexual assault.
He was arrested on 5 February after a 17-year-old girl reported being assaulted as she walked along Hampton Dene Road on 31 January.
On Thursday, 14 March, Dorian Sztejnagel (DOB 15/02/1992) of Biddulph Rise, Hereford, appeared before the city’s magistrates, also charged with sexual assault.
The 21-year-old was arrested on 12 March in connection with an assault on a 17-year-old girl, which happened on Prospect Walk on 28 January.
Detective Constable Charlotte Wells from Hereford police station said: “We would like to stress that these incidents are completely unconnected and all involve different victims.
“However, they happened within just a few days of each other and as we put out witness appeals at the time, we feel that it is only right that we keep the public updated with how our investigations into these offences are progressing.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those who called in and offered information about these incidents.”
Following his appearance at court, Jennings was released on bail and is set to appear before the same court on 5 June.
Sztejnagel was also charged with the attempted rape of a 14-year-old girl in connection with an entirely separate incident which took place on 9 February in the Tupsley area of the city. He was subsequently remanded in custody and is next due to appear at Worcester Crown Court on 21 March.
