'We've seen best and worst of people after blast'

The neighbours of a house that was destroyed after a gas explosion fear their empty home has been burgled.

Rich Cainey has been unable to enter his home since the explosion in Lancaster Road, Yate, on 29 April, because the building was deemed structurally unsafe.

He said neighbours spotted someone in his house at 05:00 BST on Tuesday before they were seen "carrying something and running off".

"You see the worst of people as well as the best. It's just bewildering. Why would you risk it?" he said.
