A man has been charged with armed robbery offences in relation to an incident at Lea Garage on the A40 in Herefordshire last month.
Adam Hawkins, 44, of Hazel Road, Drybrook, Gloucestershire, appeared at Kidderminster Magistrates Court today (Wednesday 18 March) charged with robbery and possession of an imitation firearm while committing a robbery on February 18.
Hawkins was remanded to prison ahead of his next court date at Worcester Crown Court on Wednesday 15 April.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
