Police have released CCTV images after two hooded burglars broke into a supermarket in Cinderford and stole cigarettes. The incident happened on Dockham Road at around 3.15am this morning. Police used dogs to try to catch the offenders.
Pro-Asda campaigners in Cinderford are celebrating after Co-op lost a legal bid to stop the rival supermarket from opening in the town.
Asda had been given permission to open a store by Forest of Dean District Council but Co-op asked for a judicial review.
But the High Court has thrown out the review, and the supermarket will now have to fork out £1,000 to pay for the council’s legal costs.
The pro-Asda campaigners marched through the town at the weekend from the proposed site opposite Cinderford Skate Park up the hill to the Co-operative store:
Dozens of people braved the rain to stage a protest march in favour of a new supermarket in the Forest of Dean.
Plans for a new Asda store in Cinderford have been blocked following a legal challenge from the local Co-Op.
The demonstration has revealed tensions in the town between groups for and against the development, as Tanya Mercer reports.
Not all are in favour. Full interview with a campaigner against the proposed store. He wishes to remain anonymous because he's worried about repercussions.

People in favour of a new Asda store at Cinderford have staged a march along the town's high street.
The Co-Op has taken legal action to block plans for the store. Forest of Dean District Council has backed the proposals.
A further planning application is to be considered in the New Year.
Residents in Cinderford are to stage a further protest in favour of a new Asda store later this morning. Last month nearly 200 people joined a demonstration against the local Co-Op's legal challenge against the development.
More than 1,400 people have signed up to a Facebook page backing the plans, which have been supported by Forest of Dean District Council. Mid-Counties Co-Op is seeking a judicial review. The Co-Op has previously seen off plans by Tesco to build in the town. Protesters plan to march at noon.
