A male who attempted to take a charity box from Hull Paragon Interchange station, has been sent to spend some time at Her Majesty’s Pleasure for a total of 16 weeks.

At around 10am on 25 March this year 23-year-old Joshua Starkey walked into a Subway at the station and walked directly over to the tills.

Once at the counter, he then grabbed a charity box which was chained to the tills, pulling it free and causing the cash register to fall to the ground.

Starkey then ran from the shop, with the wires and chains from the British Heart Foundation charity box dangling behind him.

A brave passenger walking along the concourse then saw Starkey running with the charity box and stuck out his foot, resulting in Starkey crashing to the ground and dropping the charity box.

He then ran from the scene without the charity box.

Following enquiries from British Transport Police, Starkey was later identified and was held to account for his deplorable actions.

Starkey was also ordered to pay £85 costs.

PC Paul Hobman from BTP, said:

“A huge congratulations are in order for the courageous member of the public who quite literally stepped in to prevent Starkey from stealing money which was intended for a good cause.

“Starkey’s actions in attempting to steal a charity collection box were disgraceful.”

To the member of public that stepped in, our team here at Emergency Services News applauds you! Whereas many would have just watched, you put yourself in danger to stop Starkey from getting away.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
