Police Suffer Grand Theft Auto
Just hours after UK police seized a truck loaded with £600,000 worth of stolen computer games - including Grand Theft Auto IV - the truck was nicked back by some daring crooks from the police pound. Seven pallets of games for the PS3 were first lifted from another lorry in Northampton when the driver was resting, before being loaded onto a blue Renault lorry. However, while the crooks might have been delighted with their haul of thousands of games - including 16,000 copies of the new Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway - police pulled them over in Leeds after spotting fake number plates. The truck was then taken to a ’secure depot’. Hours later the shutters at said ’secure depot’ were smashed in and the game-laden truck driven off before being tested for fingerprints or DNA. It turned up a few days later, less all those games. A police spokesman said: “We are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry, including eBay transactions where a number of the games have been potentially identified as being advertised for sale. Arrests have already been made in respect of this.” Anyone snapped up really cheap copies of the aforementioned games lately?-Martin Lynch [Sun] crime games console
