00:00Good morning, it's Steph at the Doncaster Free Press and it's Thursday, April the 10th, bringing you some of our top headlines this morning.
00:07First of all, very, very shortly, I'll be putting out a piece about a fire that broke out last night in Rosington.
00:15It was a fire that went on for several hours. We've got some photographs that were taken at the time, well actually early hours of this morning, although the fire started yesterday.
00:26So if you keep an eye out for that, that's going to be coming in the next 5-10 minutes or so.
00:32Then a couple of pieces that are doing very well.
00:35One I sent out yesterday, it's a Doncaster man who has appeared in court after being arrested and charged with 16 criminal offences.
00:43Sean Booth, aged 31, from Balbeck, was remanded in custody after he appeared at Magistrates Court on Monday this week.
00:51He's been charged in connection with a range of alleged offences.
00:55These include robbery, using threatening or behaviour with intent to cause fear of violence, fraud, theft, robbery and escaping from lawful custody.
01:06Quite a charge sheet there.
01:09He is due back in court beginning of May, so we'll keep you updated on that case as it reaches its conclusion.
01:17Then another one from the courts, this came from Sheffield and we put it out this morning.
01:24A Doncaster prisoner who was found with two homemade weapons claimed he needed them for protection after false claims started circulating that he was a sex offender.
01:35The prisoner, Matthew Davis, was at his cell searched at HMP Lindholm and officers asked if he was in possession of anything he shouldn't have been.
01:49He then produced a couple of items from his pocket.
01:53One was an improvised blade made with a toothbrush and the other was a slashing weapon made from a piece of metal wrapped in a bed sheet.
02:00That case has been concluded at the Crown Court.
02:04You can find out all about that this morning and what the judge deemed was appropriate for the charges.
02:13So for those three stories and for anything else that's happening in the city today, just visit www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk
02:20and of course we'll keep you updated on X and Facebook as the day goes on.
02:27I hope you have a great Thursday.
