Eiffel Tower evacuated after threat claim

A security perimeter was set up around the famous Paris
landmark

The Eiffel Tower in Paris has been evacuated after an anonymous phone-call threatening an attack.

 An estimated 1,400 people were visiting the site when France's anti-terrorism police made the decision to clear it.

 A security perimeter was set up around the world-famous monument and police said a search could take several hours, local media reported.

 The tower has been threatened several times in recent years. In 2011, 4,000 people were cleared from it.

 L'Express news website said that tourists and staff were told to come down from the tower at around 19:00 local time (18:00 GMT) on Saturday.

Security guards were also ordered to leave, a decision described as unusual.

Police then searched the area with sniffer dogs for possible explosives.

Security has recently been stepped up across the country amid concerns about threats to France over its military campaign in Mali.

Crimewatch appeal over Lytham cash-in-transit robbery

The men escaped the scene of the robbery in a
stolen silver Skoda Octavia

A renewed appeal is being made over a cash-in-transit robbery which saw two men armed with a machete and a crowbar threaten security guards in Lancashire.

The robbery took place when two G4S guards were carrying a cashbox to the Santander Bank on Clifton Street, Lytham, at about 19:00 GMT on 6 March.

Police believe up to four men from the Manchester area were involved.

The appeal and a picture of the car used in the robbery will be shown on BBC Crimewatch later.

 The car, a silver Skoda Octavia which had been fitted with false number plates, was recovered near where the robbery happened.

 It had been stolen from the Chorlton-cum-Hardy area of Manchester.

 During the robbery, the two guards carrying the cashbox were approached by two men in dark clothing and balaclavas, wielding a 12" machete and a crowbar, who forced them to open it.

Sgt Nick Connaughton said he wanted any information about the men, who were believed to have arrived in the South Fylde area up to 24 hours before the robbery took place.

 "We're still keen to hear from anyone that was in Lytham town centre on the night of the robbery that saw anything suspicious to come forward," he said.

 "I'd also renew my appeal for hoteliers in the local area that recall having up to four men from the Manchester area staying overnight on Monday 4 March to contact us."

Anyone with information is urged to contact police or Crimestoppers anonymously. 

 

Crimewatch will be broadcast on BBC ONE at 21:00 GMT and will also be available to view on the iPlayer for the next seven days.

Gucci store targeted in ram-raid in Sloane Street

A police cordon was put in place following the incident on Wednesday evening

About 50 designer bags - some said to be worth as much as £40,000 - have been stolen in a smash and grab raid on a flagship designer store in London.

The Met said a black Mercedes, which is thought to have been stolen, reversed into the Gucci store in Sloane Street at about 21:50 GMT on Wednesday.

The suspects, said to be three, then stole handbags before fleeing in a blue Audi A4. No arrests have yet been made.

Security guards were in the shop at the time but were said to be unhurt.

The exclusive store, which Gucci describe on their website as a "flagship boutique", is said to be reviewing its security and there are calls for greater protection from the Metropolitan Police.

BBC journalist Nick Beake, who is at the scene, said sources have told him that CCTV shows the men, who were wearing balaclavas, scoop the bags up and sling them across their shoulders.

Nigeria Islamists Ansaru claim Bauchi Setraco seizures

Nigerian militant group Ansaru says it kidnapped seven foreign workers in a raid that saw a security guard killed.

Italian, British, Greek and Lebanese workers are thought to be among those being held after the attack in the northern state of Bauchi.

They were working on a construction project when the militants attacked on Sunday, reports say.

Ansaru, an Islamist group, emerged last June and recently carried out a raid in which it kidnapped a French national.

The group announced it was behind Sunday's kidnappings in an email sent to journalists, saying it had "the custody of seven persons, which include Lebanese and their European counterparts" working with construction firm Setraco.

On Monday, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office would still not confirm or deny reports that a Briton was among those held.

Earlier reports that a Filipino was among the hostages were denied by the company.

The kidnapping of foreigners and wealthy Nigerians is common in the oil-rich Niger Delta region, in the south of the country, and has become a lucrative trade for criminals.

Oil workers and other foreign nationals are often targeted because companies pay high ransom money to secure their employees' release, correspondents say.

But the seizure of seven foreign workers in the north of the country makes Sunday's raid one of the most significant in that region in recent memory.

The raid was preceded by an attack on the local police station, when two vehicles were blown up, in the town of Jama'are, some 125 miles (200km) north of the state capital, Bauchi.

The attackers then moved on to a camp belonging to Setraco, killing a guard and seizing the workers. Setraco is currently expanding a major road in the area.

The state capital has itself been attacked several times by Boko Haram, which wants to impose Sharia (Islamic law) across Nigeria.

Ansaru, which announced its existence in a video released in June 2012, is suspected of being an off-shoot of Boko Haram.

The new movement has been listed by the UK government as a "terrorist organisation" aligned with al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.

The first attack for which it claimed responsibility was an attack on a police station in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, in November 2012.

The group has warned it would target non-Muslims "in self-defence".

The hospital said its security staff were trained in restraint techniques.

Leigh Griffiths in shoplifting charge

Griffiths has been Hibernian's top
scorer this season

Scotland international footballer Leigh Griffiths is understood to have been arrested on suspicion of shoplifting in a supermarket.

The Hibernian striker is believed to have been detained by security guards at a Tesco store in Edinburgh.

Lothian and Borders Police confirmed a 22-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with an alleged shoplifting incident.

Griffiths is likely to appear in court at a later date.

After the incident, Griffiths - who is on loan at the SPL club from Wolverhampton Wanderers - tweeted that it had been "something over nothing".

He added: "got taken to the back, asked about it, looked on CCTV and I was away, simple as that!"

Other tweets said: "Iv been caught shoplifting but I'm tweeting? Pretty sure I'd be in a cell??? Think about it! #hugemisunderstanding" and "Not been caught shoplifting at all".


A Hibs spokesman said: "The club is aware of an alleged incident which took place on Saturday afternoon involving the player. This is now a police matter."

Griffiths, who has scored 15 league goals for the Edinburgh club this season, made his full Scotland international debut against Luxembourg last year.

He played from the start of his club's SPL match against Aberdeen on Sunday afternoon.

Earlier this month, Griffiths was criticised for telling someone to "go back to your own country" on Twitter.
