Detective Sergeant Craig Ryder told us: "We understand incidents of this nature can be concerning for local communities; however, I would like to reassure residents a swift investigation has led to the arrest of a man in connection with Monday’s robbery.

“I’m confident this will be the best Christmas fete we’ll have had in several years. I say this because last year’s fete was a great success but with all the extra hard work parishioners have put into organising this year’s fete, I feel certain this one will be even bigger and better. This is because our members were working on it all year, making Christmas items and craft items to be sold at the fete and arranging the stalls and events all year.”
“Food will be available including hot soup and festive treats, there’s a Christmas-themed tombola, a cake stall and craft stalls so visitors can snap up bargains as they’ll make excellent stocking fillers, there’ll be handmade baubles, cards and knitted items.”
He added: “This is a combined Christmas Fete shared by the joint parishes of Christ Church Wellington and Holy Trinity Hadley. The Fete takes place at Holy Trinity on Saturday Second of December and everyone from both parishes, church members and public are warmly welcomed. There’s free car parking near the church in Hadley centre.
The fete takes place on Saturday 2nd December from noon until 4pm.
