A further allegation of postal vote fraud in the Leicestershire police and crime commissioner election has been made.

Police were already investigating UKIP claims that a number of postal ballots returned in Leicester had signatures which did not match the control samples provided to city council officers.

UKIP says it observed the discrepancies at a verification session before Thursday's election.

The police have launched Operation Horoscope to look into the complaint and now Andy McWilliam, agent to defeated UKIP candidate David Sprason, said he had reported concerns about postal votes in Charnwood.

Mr McWilliam said six out of 17 Charnwood postal ballots seen by UKIP did not have a matching signatures.

Leicestershire Police has confirmed it is looking into the second complaint.

A spokeswoman today said: "We have received allegations of electoral malpractice which are believed to have taken place during the police and crime commissioner elections.

"Inquiries are ongoing into the reports and we are liaising with the Electoral Commission and the local authorities."Labour's Willy Bach won the election with a near 20,000 majority over Tory Candidate Neil Bannister.

He is due to take up the post tomorrow.

Probation chiefs have today published a report stating that the Leicester City Youth Offending Service could do better.

Glenys Stacey, Chief Inspector of Probation, said that the Leicester service was strong in some areas but had more work to do to reduce re-offending.

Ms Stacey published the report after a recent joint inspection of the work of Leicester City Youth Offending Service (YOS).

The joint inspection of youth offending work in Leicester City is one of a small number of full joint inspections undertaken by HM Inspectorate of Probation with colleagues from the criminal justice, social care, education and health inspectorates.

Inspectors focused on six key areas - reducing re-offending, protecting the public, protecting children and young people, ensuring the sentence is served, the effectiveness of governance and court work and reports.

The report states: "Inspectors were pleased to find that work to reduce re-offending was satisfactory.

"Leicester City's Youth Justice Plan includes the objective to improve the quality and timeliness of assessments.

"Inspectors found that following on from good assessments, interventions and work to directly address offending was not consistently being delivered or evaluated.

"Work to protect the public and actual or potential victims was satisfactory.

"There were effective links with other key agencies including the police, multi-agency public protection arrangements and probation services to manage the risk of harm to others. "Work to protect others from domestic violence was not always strong enough.

"Work to protect children and reduce their vulnerability was satisfactory.

"In the majority of cases, YOS workers understood how children and young people were vulnerable, either through their own actions or because of other people."

The report states that the management and delivery of interventions to reduce re-offending was satisfactory.

Interventions to address offending behaviour needed to be used more often and then evaluated so that the YOS had a clear understanding of what was having the greatest impact.

Inspectors made recommendations to assist the YOS to make continuing improvements, including ensuring that the board membership and composition allows for all partners to effectively challenge performance and contribute to the reduction of re-offending rates.

Dame Glenys Stacey said: "Leicester City Youth Offending Service is performing satisfactorily in all key areas.

"Indeed, we found strengths in the way in which children and young people are engaged and about the support they receive to access education, training and employment.

"The YOS management board knows it still has work to do, especially in reducing re-offending, and has invested in the provision of interventions to try and tackle some entrenched thinking, behaviour and attitudes to offending."

A group of men armed themselves with metal poles, wooden sticks, a hockey stick and a brick in a bid to seek revenge for an assault in Spinney Hill Park.

It was the culmination of a series of incidents in the Spinney Hills area of Leicesterwhich raised tensions in the community and prompted police to increase patrols to reassure residents, a court heard.

Now, eight men have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit violent disorder and four others have been found guilty of the same offence after a seven-day trial at Leicester Crown Court.

Pc Tom Wilson, who led the investigation along with Pc Steve Barnes, said: "These individuals have been causing unrest within the community for several years. On this occasion, they were intending to cause further harm.

"The incident on July 3 took place during Ramadan, while people were in the process of breaking their fasts.

"They were set to take revenge for the assault against a member of their own group.

"Had it not been for the swift police response, they may have gone on to cause some serious harm."

Police said the assault in Spinney Hill Park was the catalyst to a series of incidents in the area.

The climax of this was on Friday, July 3, when the defendants armed themselves with various weapons to seek revenge.

Leicester Crown Court was told how for several years two rival groups have been responsible for a number of incidents of disorder which were causing local residents alarm and distress.

Police reported that, as part of their ongoing efforts to tackle the issues, since last May more than 70 people have been arrested.

Of those arrested, 53 have been charged with various offences, 48 warrants have also been executed and searches conducted.

Pc Wilson said: "We won't tolerate incidents of this nature and work hard to ensure that the local community can go about their business without fear of intimidation or violence.

"Since the operation began members of the local community have commented on how things have changed and that they are no longer fearful."

Councillor Mohammed Dawood, whose Wycliffe ward includes part of Spinney Hills, said he hoped the convictions would bring peace to the area.

He said: "It is good to see these people brought to justice.

"Their actions caused real concern to residents for a long time."

The event took place at St John's Church, Hinckley, on Monday May 9 and was attended by about 30 NHW volunteers.

The presentation was organised to thank the volunteers for all their help and hard work since the group was set up five years ago.

PC Barry Miller, who organised the event said: "We wanted to take the opportunity to thank the NHW co-ordinators for their dedication and commitment to the watch group.

A bus company says it could be forced to bypass a large village after 10 of its vehicles were targeted by stone-throwing yobs.

The Skylink vehicles, which transport passengers between Leicester and East Midland Airport, have come under a hail of stones on a number of occasions in the past few months.

The company said the repair bill had so far hit £10,000.

It warned it could review its night-time route so Birstall, where the service makes one stop, would be excluded.

Skylink general manager Alex Kerr said police had told him that other vehicles, such as lorries, cars, taxis and other buses, had been targeted in a similar fashion.

The Skylink vehicles have been targeted in Loughborough Road, near the Redhill Roundabout end of the village.

Mr Kerr said: "The cost is one thing, but the safety of customers and drivers is paramount.

"If these incidents were to continue, a review of the Skylink service at night through Birstall would have to be considered."

The firm's buses are equipped with rear, side and front-facing CCTV cameras.

Footage of some of the culprits has been handed to the police, Mr Kerr said.

He added: "We are working closely with the police and providing them with the necessary CCTV footage to identify those responsible, and urge anyone with information to contact the police."

Birstall resident David Palmer said: "I live near Loughborough Road and I've heard people complaining about kids throwing stones at moving cars.

"It's a stupid and dangerous thing to do.

"I don't think for one minute that people would come from anywhere else to do something like this. It must be kids from Birstall.

"The police are good in Birstall and they will catch up with these people."

Police are investigating the incidents and are urging people to help them trace the culprits.

A man who carried out a vicious and violent sexual assault on a woman last summer has been convicted by a jury.

Vijay Singh attacked the woman in a premises in King Street, Leicester city centre in June last year.

The attack left the woman with multiple serious injuries which were so horrific she spent a "considerable" time in hospital recovering, Leicestershire Police said.

Today, Singh, (43), of Oxford Street, Leicester, was found guilty by a jury at Stafford Crown Court of attempted murder and sexual assault by penetration.

A man who helped him flee the scene was found guilty of the offence of assisting an offender.

Balbir Singh, (50), of Thurcaston Road, Leicester, was waiting outside the premises when the attack took place.

He then took Vijay Singh home, gave him a change of clothes and hid his bloodied clothing inside a shed.

Both men will be sentenced on Friday, June 17.

Detective Sergeant Sarah Walker, who led the investigation, said: "This was an incredibly distressing experience for the victim who at the time feared for her life.

"She has shown immense bravery and courage throughout the investigation.

"In order to help officers piece together the events of that night, the victim has had to relive the horrific attack, and I hope that today's result will help her move forward and put the ordeal behind her.

"All reports of sexual offences are taken incredibly seriously.

"Victims are spoken to by specially trained officers and we work closely with our partner agencies to offer the necessary support to them.

"No matter the age of the victim, we ensure our specially trained officers are available to guide and support victims, from the moment they contact us to make a first report right through to a court case.

"Anyone who has been the victim of a sexual assault and for whatever reason hasn't reported it to the police is urged to do so.

"It's not always easy to talk about incidents of this nature, but please be assured that you will be supported by experienced and specialist officers."

Bosses at a national charity have hailed work carried out at a Leicester church by offenders as a "shining example" of how community payback can work.

Staff at the Church Conservation Trust praised the work carried out at All Saints' Church in Highcross Street.

For three months, teams of offenders were taken to the 16th Century Grade I listed church where they swept and cleaned the walls and window sills,

hand washed the church floor and cleaned and waxed the pews.

The Trust has revealed that more than 391,767 hours of unpaid reparation work - with an estimated monetary value of over £2.6 million - was completed on community projects in the East Midlands region in the last year by men and women on probation supervision.

These were projects undertaken by offenders supervised by the Derbyshire,

Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland

Community Rehabilitation Company (DLNR CRC).

Mr David Adgar, regional volunteer officer with the Churches Conservation Trust, said: "The Leicester project was a 'shining example' of how the charitable trust can obtain support from other sources such as Community Payback.

"I will be writing to inform the Minister for Prisons, Probation and Rehabilitation, the Rt Hon Andrew Selous.

"Our volunteers have to deal with the aftermath of crime and anti social behaviour such as lead theft from our churches and graffiti on our buildings.

"They were cheered by the thought that a mechanism, such as the community payback scheme, exists to help support them as they endeavour to ensure the conservation of these important national treasures.

"I can honestly say that I have never seen the building looking in such good condition since my involvement with the Churches' Conservation Trust.

"We have had a number of positive messages from people who are volunteers at the church and also our visitors.

"The trust appreciates the effort put into the project to ensure its success and of course the work completed by the offenders is much appreciated."

The Courts can order offenders to complete between 40 and 300 hours of unpaid reparation work that is promoted to the public as Community Payback. In the past this sentence was referred to as Community Service.

Community Payback Officer Irek Staszak said: "The work at the All Saints' Church was tough and demanding, but the teams involved could see what a difference their efforts were making to such an important historical building and its community."

Police have released mobile phone footage of two men emerging from a branch of Nationwide they had just tried to rob.

The footage was recorded by an onlooker as the two men fled the building and got into a car.

The two men, who were wearing motorcycle helmets, pulled a knife on staff at the Nationwide in Leicester Road, Wigston at 11.15am on Wednesday last week.

They left empty-handed in a dark silver grey Ford MPV-type vehicle. Nobody was injured.

Detective Constable Eliot Burgess, of Leicestershire Police, said: "We hope by releasing the footage someone may remember seeing something of significance.

"Did you see two people acting suspiciously around the premises or do you recognise the vehicle?

"The vehicle was displaying false registration plates which may have since been changed again.

"If you can help with any aspect of the investigation then please contact us.

"Also if you were in the Leicester Road area of Wigston during the morning of 11 May and haven't yet spoken to the police, get in touch."

A man is due in court tomorrow to face a series of charges following collisions in Nanpanatan Road, on the outskirts of Loughborough.

Kyle Gary Page, 21, of no fixed address has been charged with burglary, aggravated vehicle taking, dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and failure to stop for police.

The charges follow a collision in Nanpantan Road yesterday afternoon, involving a VW Golf and a Lamborghini, and a separate collision between two police vehicles which occurred nearby.

Page was remanded in custody to appear at Leicester Magistrates' Court tomorrow morning.

A 23-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of burglary has been bailed pending further inquiries.

Children as young as 12 have been victims of revenge pornography – the practice of posting indecent images of people online without their consent.

Leicestershire Police has investigated 30 cases in the year since a new law was introduced to outlaw the sharing of people's intimate pictures on social media sites such as Facebook, Youtube, Snapchat and Instagram without the victims' consent.

The youngest victims were a boy and a girl aged 12, however 17 cases involved boys and girls under the age of 18.

Women were the victims in 23 of the cases brought to Leicestershire Police's attention in the past 12 months.

Two of the 30 cases resulted in the offender being cautioned.

Some remain under investigation, while others have been shelved because the victim did not want the police to take any action or because officers were unable to secure sufficient evidence to bring to the Crown Prosecution Service.

The majority of perpetrators were former partners of the victims.

However, in two cases their relationship to the victims are described as a 'care worker', while another offence was committed by a member of the victim's family.

Police warned people not to share indecent images of themselves with anyone else, even if they believe they can trust them.

Detective Inspector Matt Ditcher, of Leicestershire Police, said: "People need to know that if they choose to share images, particularly indecent ones, with anyone else, they no longer have any control over them.

"If the images are placed on the internet, they are there and they do not have a shelf life.

"However, it is an offence to disclose a private sexual image if the discourse is without the consent of those in the image and done with intent of causing that person distress."

An NSPCC spokesman said: "It is shocking that children as young as 12 are becoming victims of revenge porn.

"The fact that more than half of victims in Leicestershire were under 18 – and the majority of offences involved mainstream social media - highlights the urgent need for action by these sites to improve safety.

"Young people also need to be aware of the serious risks of sending explicit material or photos of themselves.

"Once an image is sent there is no control over where it will end up or who will see it."

The new criminal offence of revenge porn came into force a year ago. It means those who share private, sexual images of someone without consent and with the intent to cause distress will now face up to two years in prison.
