The Echo - where headlines don't have to match the story
I moan about the Echo but still read it. Maybe this makes me a hypocrite.
"Town centre closed off as police hunt robber"
The article begins with "Part of a Hampshire town centre is closed off today as police hunt a robber", and goes on to explain that the town in question is Fareham. Fareham's pretty big, and it's amazing to think they'd close off even part of the town centre to catch a robber who stole money from a cash machine.
If you read right to the end, you get "as part of their investigation police say that part of West Street will be closed off for some of this morning."
So basically, they've closed off a small area of west street (probably just the cash machine in question, for some forensic analysis) and the Echo headline implies that the entire town centre is closed.
In tomorrow's issue: "Woman in speeding vehicle causes carnage", a chilling story about a granny on a mobility scooter who accidentally bumped into a kerb, causing a dog walker to wait for her to reorient herself before passing.
