ALARM BELLS RINGING

There was an early wake-up call for some town centre traders in Brigg this morning.
A power cut, about 6.40am, set off a number of burglar alarms, alerting traders who had to get out of bed to drive in and see what all the fuss was about.
Most lights came back within a few seconds. However, it was a little surprising not to see the arrival of the police, especially as their Brigg station is only a few dozen yards from where the shop alarms were blazing away.
Staff at one shop, which shall remain nameless, had arrived within 20 minutes and switched off their alarm, with no sign of the police.
It could be, of course, Insp Rutty's team had quite correctly worked out the reason for the alarms going off, as we had.
