Reflects Badly on Police

A rookie police officer was sent to investigate a late night disturbance in Hartlepool and radioed to tell HQ he was at the right address because he could see another patrol car. The control room staff were confused by this because he was a few streets away from the disturbance. When they told him that he realised the other patrol car was a reflection of his own in a shop window. ‘The poor guy took a bit of ribbing,’ Cleveland police said on Tuesday. ‘It was dark and the street lights made the reflection seem very real but it may be some time before he lives this one down.’

Pathologist Parts from Body

 HS&Co often have to instruct our experts. On homicide cases, we have to utilise the services of pathologists. It is against this background that we learn that a well known pathologist, Freddy Patel has now been struck off the medical register. We have not used his services but the police have, including the post-mortem examination of the G20 riots newspaper seller Ian Tomlinson. Mr Patel’s fundamental claim that Mr Tomlinson had died of a heart attack was contradicted by a string of experts who said he died of internal bleeding. HS&Co have vast experience in murder, attempted murder and manslaughter cases throughout England. In Your Defence.

Bobbies Privates

Police chiefs in Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire are outsourcing more than 1000 police jobs to the infamous Olympics security company G4S. Perhaps HS&Co should put forward plans to advertise our services on police equipment and vehicles?  

Pilfering Postie

75,000 items of post went missing after a postie horded them in his garden shed. The post man spent a lot of gift cards he had stolen from the mail he failed to deliver. 70,000 of the mail that was stolen was junk mail. The employers of the postman became suspicious after 58 greetings cards went missing in the Prestwich area of Manchester. His employers found him out by putting tracking devices in his vehicle, one of which was in a gift card that he later got caught on CCTV using. The Postman was jailed for 9 months for 2 charges of theft at Bolton Crown Court. HS&Co have dealt with lots of theft cases and have had many good results. Throughout England & Wales. In Your Defence.
