Peterborough’s Yours Clothing Boss Offers £10,000 reward
A Peterborough fashion retailer is offering a £10,000 reward following the theft of a shipping container full of thousands of his best-selling fleeces.
Andrew Killingsworth, chief executive and founder of Yours Clothing, in Bakewell Road, Orton Southgate, has also enlisted the help of millions of customers in a bid to find the ‘distinctive’ stolen clothing.
Mr Killingsworth has put up the reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the thieves who stole the 40-feet-long container holding 3,800 Longline Fleece Zipped Hoodies from a yard in Whittlesey about a fortnight ago.
The yellow, grey and black coloured fleeces, which retail for £32.99 each, had been shipped from China to Flexistowe port before being taken by lorry to Peterborough.
Mr Killingsworth said: “It seems the container had been stored in a secure yard in Whittlesey ahead of being transported to us in Peterborough.
“But it was stolen overnight from the yard.
“We know it was taken to a layby on the A14 westbound towards Birmingham because the container’s two security trackers were found dumped nearby.”
Now Mr Killingsworth has enlisted the support of millions of customers and traders to look out for any of the fleeces being sold illegally.
In a post on the Yours Clothing’s Instagram site, he states: “To our loyal Yours Community, We urgently need your help regarding goods stolen from one of our yards.
“It you come across these products being sold anywhere else – shops, market stalls, car boot sales, online or other – please know that it is unauthorised and we ask you to report this immediately.
We are offering up to £10,000 reward for information leading to a conviction.
“We will not rest until justice is served.”
A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire police said: “We were contacted on the morning of September 25 with reports a HGV container had been stolen from a business premises in Aaron Road, Whittlesey overnight.
“The container has not been recovered and an investigation is ongoing.
“Anyone with information should contact us online using reference 35/70605/24.
Anyone without internet access should call 101.”

The Blame Game – Kings Dyke Crossing
Isn’t hindsight a wonderful get out. Most of us (all the public as well) have witnessed the build up and history leading to the Kings Dyke Crossing – it is ALL HERE on this Web-Blog – over many years.
Now we have the ‘usual’ keyboard warriors blaming all and sundry for the issues we are experiencing now, this maybe the same ‘keyboard warriors’ that bothered to come and engage in the various consultations which took place prior to the ‘Favored Route’
^The vast majority including myself (I will stand and be counted) chose this current route and Cambs CC and the contractors went with it – Did we/Did they know the risk factors^
After reading both the previous press releases several times now – it looks likely there will be NO quick fix.
Options will be considered once more structual details are known
Risk factors will hopefully be considered.
Cost – who is going to pay?
Is an option still available to re-open the KD Railway Crossing – as I’ve said – there is a roll out of the East Coast Signaling system about to take place – I’ve heard it may ‘cost’ £5 Million to have the crossing reinstated.
Phew – Isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing – Keyboard Warriors get the facts right please.
Option 3 was the choosen route – below.
The whole history of the Kings Dyke Bridge crossing can be found on this Web-Blog.
(You’ll have to search for it)

Below the ‘Camper Van’ which was causing concern to some residents.
I did engage with the owner – who seemed a very nice gentleman – who informed me on how he disposed of his rubbish.
