| YOU
ARE NICKED, MY BEAUTY |
A COMPUTER-savvy crime victim who had a laptop stolen from his
Camden Town flat snared the burglar with a secret hi-tech camera
which automatically delivered the evidence via email.
Richard East, who lived in Camden High Street but has since moved,
logged on to his internet email account within minutes of discovering
the break-in last July – and found the photos which lead to
28-year-old Terry Payne’s conviction.
Wearing a stripy jumper with the sleeves pulled down over his hands
to avoid fingerprints, Payne, of Crowndale Road, Camden Town, just
two weeks out of prison for previous burglaries, was snapped as
he entered Mr East’s bedroom. |

| PROTEST
AT 'DEATH' JAIL |
A DEMONSTRATION was held outside Holloway prison on Wednesday
following the death of a woman inmate – the fourth to die in
the prison in 18 months.
Karen Ann Fletcher, 30, who was serving a sentence for arson, is
believed to have taken her own life while in a cell two weeks ago.
The protest was organised by retired college lecturer Pauline Campbell,
57, who was arrested and taken to Islington police station after
she stood in front of a prison van carrying inmates and refused
to move, barring its access to the entrance of the prison. She was
later released without charge. |

| WATER
CO IS WARNED |
THAMES Water could be forced into the courts unless it improves
the standards of its repairs drastically, City Hall warned yesterday
(Thursday).
Westminster Council took the unprecedented step of issuing an Improvement
Notice against Thames Water, claiming that nearly 40 per cent of
works carried out by the company is unsatisfactory, including work
in Mayfair, Soho and Bayswater.
Unless the water company now sticks to a strict improvement plan
yet to be agreed, it could find itself facing criminal proceedings. |
