The demolition of a mock Tudor castle that was built without planning permission has almost been completed.

Farmer Robert Fidler, who built the house in Salfords in the Surrey greenbelt and hid it behind hay bales for four years, was ordered to tear it down by yesterday or face jail.

Last November, the High Court gave Mr Fidler a three-month suspended sentence and warned him he would be jailed for his “defiance” if the property was not demolished by June.

Footage shows most of the castle has now been demolished.

Around £12,000 worth of tobacco products, was stolen from a delivery vehicle in Godstone.

Whilst loading empty crates back into the vehicle, the driver has reported being approached and threatened by a man wearing a balaclava and dark blue tracksuit with a Liverpudlian accent.

A second man, who again spoke with a Liverpudlian accent, assisted in removing the tobacco from the vehicle into an awaiting vehicle.
