Police in Exeter are investigating a slightly bizarre theft, which was committed in the High Street overnight Monday 4th to Tuesday 5th February 2013.
A rack of shoes had been left unattended outside a High Street shoe store and by the following morning they had been stolen. However, the shoes will be of little use to the thief as they consist entirely of right footed ladies' shoes and children’s snow boots.

Exeter City boss Paul Tisdale was pleased with his side’s battling qualities after a goalless draw against Aldershot on Saturday afternoon.
On a pitch that had suffered in the winter months, the playing surface wasn’t ideal for a free-flowing game and that hampered City’s opportunities to pass the ball around on the deck. And with the Grecians kicking towards the Away Terrace in the first half – with the sun glaring into their eyes when they attacked – the environment didn’t favour City in the opening period. “It was incredibly difficult conditions, we played against 11 very tough...
