This week we lead on the rather disturbing story about a spate of burglaries and alleged shoplifting in Dartmouth and the surrounding area.

Our main picture shows the Port of Dartmouth Regatta rowing events are under way – and despite a damp start the weather has improved throughout the week as the regatta week continues.

We flag up two stories inside: one highlighting a protest march by people campaigning for better healthcare services on the town and pushing for the now-closed Dartmouth and Kingswear Hospital to be reopened.

We also have news of a born-and-bred Dartmouth couple who have been celebrating their golden wedding anniversary.

As ever, there’s much, much news inside... including a story about the cruise ship Saga Pearl II arriving in the port – and clipping four yachts on the way in.
