We excel at blue light shows in the Midlands. The latest, #murder247, showcases the work of @WMerciaPolice. At 4am in Droitwich, a 999 call is made by a man saying he's found his wife with a knife in her stomach. He's arrested for murder, but what actually happened? BBC1 at 9pm.

Not a great start to Tuesday. Woken up by our CCTV alarm at 00:43 this morning as these two scrotes tried to break in. Our movement chased them off. Both were in black, but one was wearing a North Face jacket. Credit to @WMerciaPolice who were here within 15 minutes.
