WHY? For fun and to raised fund for the community well over £1000 raised!!

On 16th July 2026, Thursday evening, at around 7.30pm, Stafford Police and PCSO’s apprehended the three culprits just off the A518 and delivered under restraint to the lock-up on Sellman Street ahead of the official lock-in time of 8pm. Over 60 spectators were waiting to see the Gnosall Globetrotters incarcerated overnight, many taking peeks into the lock-up to see what was in store for Bob, Mike and Keith. The three were escorted through the gathered crowd, to the lock-up, where the Police officers removed their restraints and they were allowed to say their final words to their families and gathered crowd before being shown into their cell for the night. Their cell comprised the bare minimum with straw bales for bedding, a few worn blankets, LED candles and a few essentials. The inmates could be heard singing ‘I want to break free’ as the St. Lawrence church bells struck 7am on Friday the 17th of July and the door was opened by the Chief Officer, to a small crowd who had gathered in support. The three emerged looking far brighter than expected after 11 hours locked in a small, cold, dark room with only LED light, spiders and wood lice for company, and were treated to a slap-up ‘Break Out’ Breakfast at the Grosvenor Centre with friends and family.
