The charming seaside village of Robin Hood’s Bay in Yorkshire is facing a housing crisis fueled by a surge in demand for holiday homes.

Teenager Tunnels into Neighboring Cell to Attack Convicted Murderer

A teenage inmate at a young offender’s institute in Yorkshire has managed to tunnel through to a neighboring cell and attack another criminal, leaving him with serious injuries. The incident, which occurred at Wetherby Young Offender Institution on April 14th, has raised concerns about the security measures in place at the institution. The teenager, a convicted rapist, is believed to have used a sharpened spoon to break through the concrete wall between the two cells. He reportedly scraped away at the concrete between breeze blocks before creating a hole large enough to crawl through. The attack has drawn comparisons to the 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption, in which the protagonist Andy Dufresne escapes by chiseling a hole in his cell wall. An investigation has been launched to determine how the teenager was able to break through the wall and why no one responded to the disturbance. Wetherby Young Offender Institution holds a large number of vulnerable children, and the incident has raised concerns about their safety.
