Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:03
Two men have been arrested after 60 kilograms of the rare Blue John mineral were stolen
00:08
from the Peak District.
00:10
Following a number of suspicious incidents in Castleton, the Derbyshire Royal Crime Team
00:14
attended two addresses in the Greater Manchester area.
00:17
The search at one of the addresses recovered a large quantity of Blue John, which is a
00:21
rare semi-precious metal that is unique to the area and not found anywhere else in the
00:26
world.
00:27
Two men were arrested in connection with the theft.
00:30
A spokesperson for the Derbyshire Royal Crime Team said,
00:33
The site is a site of special scientific interest.
00:36
It is protected and quarrying of Blue John is strictly controlled.
00:40
Theft of this rare fluorite not only harms the natural environment of the site and the
00:43
local economy, but it also harms the site's heritage.
00:47
The two men who were arrested have been released pending further investigations.
00:53
A North Derbyshire-based homelessness charity is asking people to put together rucksacks
00:58
that will be handed out among the region's homeless.
01:01
Inspired by the annual shoebox appeal, Pathways of Chesterfield have launched their own scheme,
01:06
which encourages people to fill a rucksack with several useful items as well as goodies
01:11
and treats.
01:12
The rucksacks will then be handed out as Christmas presents to homeless people with whom the
01:16
charity works.
01:18
Suggested items that people might want to put into their rucksacks include socks, woolly
01:22
hats, gloves and scarves, torches, flasks, toiletries and sleeping bags.
01:28
Pathways is hoping that between 100 and 150 rucksacks will be donated.
01:34
Completed and filled rucksacks can be dropped off at 106 Saltergate in Chesterfield any
01:38
weekday between 9.30am and 4pm.
