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.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

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.
