A gang of distinctive thieves descended on Felthorpe Hall earlier this month and managed to make off with two concrete flower urns from outside the gates to the Georgian house. Now, police have announced they have dropped their investigation into the raid, which took place at 6.40am on November 2, despite one man being caught with his trousers down. CCTV footage of the raid shows the thieves struggling to get one of the hefty items - still full of soil - to their waiting Ford Focus. While one thief puts the pedestal in the back of the vehicle, two others, one wearing a surgical boot, carry the urn itself. A police spokeswoman said: "The victim was informed on November 19 that all lines of enquiry…...

8+ hour, 37+ min ago (481+ words) After the largest food drive of the year, Virginia food banks are still struggling to ensure Virginians in need are fed as the holiday season approaches. The Virginia Peninsula Foodbank, the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and Eastern Shore and the Food Bank of Albemarle, North Carolina, held their annual food drive over the weekend when people could drop off donations. According to Peninsula Foodbank CEO Bob Latvis, the event garnered more than 1 million meals across all three locations, more than 250,000 of which were donated to the Peninsula.

"We see a greater need at the holiday period and then going into winter," Latvis said. "The need goes up as the weather gets cooler." Food bank staff are still finalizing data,…...

9+ hour, 22+ min ago (344+ words) JAMES CITY COUNTY, Va. " More than a year after an underground fire tore apart a parking lot behind the Williamsburg Premium Outlets, the site remains a gaping crater with little sign of progress. Last Thanksgiving, News 3 reported on the fire that burned beneath the pavement for more than 100 hours, forcing firefighters to tear up concrete to reach the source. The damage left behind has sat largely untouched ever since. "It does look like another planet," said neighbor Victoria Gerousis, whose home sits just behind the site. Gerousis remembers the uncertainty during the fire, which began Nov. 23 of last year in an underground stormwater retention facility. "At one point, when everything started spreading here, we were about to leave the house because we didn't know if it was going to spread," she said. "The firefighters took care of that." She also…...
