Wishaw Press

Last year from front to back

For Charlie Flynn

-

Sex crimes in Wishaw rocketed by 107 per cent in the last year, shock new figures revealed.

A special investigat­ion by the Wishaw Press showed that crimes of indecency across the town reported to police more than doubled last year.

A total of 29 crimes of a sexual nature were reported last year compared to 14 in 2014.

The equivalent of more than one sex crime taking place across the area every week. Charlie Flynn was getting ready to return to the scene of his greatest triumph — and the Mailman dreams of headlining at the Hydro himself one day.

The Newarthill boxer won Commonweal­th Games gold back in 2014 at the Hydro and it was announced that the 23-year-old would be on the undercard at Ricky Burns’ title fight on May 28, which will be broadcast live on Sky.

The Mailman went on to record a comfortabl­e victory over Abdon Cesar.
