A radio presenter has been suspended from Kerrang! radio after staging a mock burglary at the home of the station’s programme director.

The management allege Tim Shaw and his producer broke into the house causing substantial damage and painted obscenities on the wall.

….Programme director Andrew Jeffries and his wife returned home to discover the break-in and believed they had been the victims of a burglary, before Shaw and Pebble jumped out of a cupboard to reveal it was a joke.

Mr Jeffries said: “The window was smashed and there were obscenities on the walls. They had hidden the TV and other items to make it look as if we had been robbed. They emptied the cupboards and our clothes were strewn all over…”
