The wall box phone from Devonport Police station has been stolen.

The crime was publicised by local PC, Dan Box, on Twitter - who urged those who knew anything to contact police.

The phone is on the side of the station and allows passerby's to contact staff quickly.

The station in Fore Street is home to officers from all the main strands of policing, including emergency response officers, the local neighbourhood team and the crime investigation department.

Devonport-based HMS Monmouth has made a return visit to her "home town" for the first time in three years.

The ship was given the Freedom of the town of Monmouth in 2004 and on Sunday (21 March) the crew exercised this right by parading through the town in the traditional style, bayonets fixed, drums beating and colours flying. They were cheered by hundreds of residents.

The ship leaves Cardiff on Thursday (24 March) to return to her base port of Plymouth for routine maintenance ahead of intensive operational training in the summer.

The Duke of Edinburgh is due to meet with Royal Marines at Devonport today.

A 14-year-old boy is due to be sentenced later, after destroying a block of flats when he built a homemade bunsen burner in Plymouth.

Twenty families were unable to return to their homes, following the fire at flats on Clowance Street in June.

The teenager has admitted starting the fire, which caused millions of pounds worth of damage

Plymouth has been left out of a government plan that will see £500 million go to one of Devonport's rival dockyards - Faslane on the Clyde.

Alongside Portsmouth and Devonport, Faslane is one of three major naval hubs, and is the home of Britain’s Trident nuclear deterrent.

The money will go towards a 10-year infrastructure project which is expected to begin in 2017. The plans include building sea walls and jetties, and will create thousands of jobs.

Two submarines from Devonport will also be moved up to Faslane in 2020.
