Moment masked thieves steal pregnant Tamworth woman's car with her baby scans
A pregnant woman of 28 weeks says she fears for her family's safety after her Mini Cooper was stolen from her driveway in Tamworth. Shocking Ring doorbell footage, from the early hours of this morning, shows the moment a gang of masked thieves stole Laura Haynes' Mini from her home in Browns Lane. The devastated mum-to-be, who lives with her partner Paul, said all of her pregnancy notes, including baby scan photos, were in the car when it was driven away by the thugs in the dead of the night. READ MORE: Hit-and-run probe after man struck by car in Birmingham city centre One of the masked men was seen walking up to the front door holding what was believed to be a relay device which unlocked the vehicle. The gadget, used by car thieves, mimics a key fob signal to unlock and start vehicles without needing the physical key. Laura said the incident had left her "scared" that the gang might return to the family's home again after what she said was now two failed attempts to take her partner's Mercedes. "We're scared they will come back for it because they tried to take Paul's Mercedes last night and it happened six months ago too," said the 27-year-old. The couple only realised the Mini had been taken when they woke up several hours later. Laura added: "I got up and when I looked out the window I noticed Paul's wing mirrors were out and then I thought, 'oh god, where is my car'. "We work hard for these things. That's £15,000 worth of car. "But it's the sentimental stuff. I'm 28 weeks pregnant and all my pregnancy notes were in my car. "Scan photos, things like that. I had a complicated pregnancy to start with so there's a scan before they were even a baby, when they were a dot; all that stuff is in there. "It's stuff I take around with me. I don't know if I can get any of that back from the hospital. I can't rewind my body to that time." Laura said forensic police were at the couple's home earlier today but that no arrests had been made that they were aware of. "We watched the doorbell footage and we could see them trying to get signal for the keys after walking up the drive, three or four of them," said Laura. "They opened the door of the Merc too but they couldn't get it started so they gave up on that. "They tried our front door and were looking through the kitchen window. The thought of someone trying to break in is so scary." We have contacted Staffordshire Police for comment. Anyone with information about this incident should contact the force by calling 101, quoting crime reference number 2125-0093-495 of June 22. You can also share information by emailing

Woman found stabbed in house explosion ‘gave her life to helping the vulnerable'
A woman who was found stabbed following a gas explosion at her home 'gave her life to helping the vulnerable and the disadvantaged', her family has said. Annabel Rook, 46, was found fatally injured at a house in Dumont Road, Stoke Newington, north-east London, just before 5am on Tuesday. Ms Rook worked for charity MamaSuze CIC, which she co-founded, that supported refugee and migrant women, some who had fled domestic violence, with art and drama activities. In a statement issued via the Metropolitan Police, her family said they were 'struggling to come to terms with this terrible tragedy'. 'We have lost our beautiful daughter, sister, friend and mother. Annabel was a truly wonderful woman,' the tribute read. 'She touched the hearts of so many. 'She gave her life to helping the vulnerable and the disadvantaged whether it was in refugee camps in Africa or setting up MamaSuze in London, to enhance the lives of survivors of forced displacement and gender-based violence. 'We would really appreciate it if our privacy could be respected.' A 44-year-old man was arrested at the address on suspicion of murder with police previously describing the victim's death as 'a domestic-related incident'. He was later discharged and released into police custody, the force said. John Martin, artistic director of PAN Intercultural Arts, where Ms Rook worked with young refugees for 16 years until 2022, previously described her as 'a larger-than-life character' who joined the charity as a volunteer with lots of energy. In a personal tribute, Mr Martin told the PA news agency: 'Annabel's energy brought a lot to the women and gave them new hope. 'This was her speciality, I think – a sort of a boundless optimism, a boundless self-confidence, which she transferred onto other people.' 'She spent her life, certainly the 10, 12 years that I knew her, fighting against women who had been abused, fighting against violence to women, and the irony is that she then suffered from violence to women in the way that she died yesterday,' he said. MamaSuze said in a statement shared on Tuesday that it was 'devastated by the loss of our beloved co-founder' and that she treated everyone with 'warmth and kindness'. 'Annabel was a profound force for good in the world, dedicating her working life to supporting women survivors,' it added. Police were called at 04.57am on Tuesday to reports of a gas explosion with a person trapped inside the property. The front bay window of the property was completely blown out that morning, with debris including plants, wooden shutters and glass scattered across the street. Two children, aged seven and nine, were also taken to hospital as a precaution following the incident but are not thought to have been inside the home when the explosion happened. Six fire engines and 40 firefighters were also called to the scene. Anyone with information that could assist the investigation into the incident has been urged to contact police on 101 quoting CAD 926/17June. Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
