“It also falls within Derbyshire county, the NG Postcode doesn't give a Nottinghamshire address on Royal Mail's Postal Address File, thisisnottingham often makes this error. It does have the correct crest, as used today on a Heanor article today.”

“Lol, Langley Mill may be an NG postcode, but it falls under the jusristiction of Amber Valley / Ripley Police!
Its really rare to hear about happenings like this in't'Mill. There is however the odd scumbag hoody seen walking around, matching the description exactly... I'll be sure to flatten the b*stard if I see him before dumping him up at RIPLEY police station!”
