Weekly round-up: Five stories you may have missed

A Hollywood actor being spotted in the south of England and the cancellation of a star-studded festival were among our most popular stories this week.

Rare horses being released in Kazakhstan also hit the headlines.

In case you missed it, we have picked five articles from the past seven days across Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Dorset, Berkshire and Oxfordshire to keep you up to date.

Hollywood star Ben Stiller was spotted with film crews on a beach in Dorset.

Stiller, who rose to fame through comedies such as Meet the Fockers, There's Something About Mary and Zoolander, was seen on the beach near Highcliffe Castle.

Film crews and vehicles were also seen outside Highcliffe Castle and on the cliffs, with a sign warning the public about drone filming in progress also in place.

Two horses have been transported 3,000 miles (5,000km) to help secure the future of a species that was once considered to be extinct in the wild.

Shara and Togs, two female Przewalski's horses, were born and raised at Marwell Zoo near Winchester, Hampshire.

They were flown to be released in Kazakhstan, to help continue a species revival led by European zoos.

Once found across central Asia, the species was last seen in the wild in the 1960s and was reduced to a dozen or so breeding individuals in captivity.

Three summer music festivals on historical country estates have been cancelled at the eleventh hour, with the organiser blaming high costs and low ticket sales.

The Heritage Live festivals promised stellar line-ups, including Christina Aguilera, Eric Clapton and Lionel Richie at the royal estate at Sandringham in Norfolk in August.

Scissor Sisters were on the bill at Audley End House in Essex, also in August, and Richard Ashcroft was among the headliners at the Englefield Estate in Berkshire in July.

The organiser, GCE Live, said a financial rescue package had fallen through, making it impossible to continue.

"There is extreme anti-social behaviour going on," said Sally Evans, as she explained how her video doorbell caught a man using her front door as a toilet.

It resulted in his prosecution by Thames Valley Police, one of many forces in the south of England urging residents to register their cameras and CCTV systems to help them solve more crimes, more quickly.

The force said the uploading of more than three million items of digital evidence by people across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire had been "truly transformational".

Despite concerns from civil liberty campaigners, Sally said people should "absolutely register", because camera owners were "in charge" of what they choose to upload.

Firefighters tackled a blaze at a scrapyard on the Isle of Wight, with eight metal shipping containers involved.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service said a 200m cordon was set up around the incident at Smallbrook Lane, Ryde, on Wednesday.

Smallbrook Lane and Great Preston Road were closed and police advised people to avoid the area.
