Crime and criminals

[Hugo]

It was a lucky find but it makes you wonder just how many drugs are getting into the UK      I've attached a link about another drugs find on the West Wales coast a short time ago

It was a bit disturbing to read this headline in the Daily Post yesterday:-
Secret symbols used by burglars spook residents in North Wales town
The chalk markings left outside houses has been associated with break-ins and dog thefts

This prompted me to tell a story about an accountant I had some dealings with through my job. He liked a chat and said that he had a client who was a professional burglar. Out of interest he asked him what made him/them decide which house to break into. The reply was that they didn't go into anywhere blind. They obtained information from people in insurance companies so they knew what valuable contents were in particular properties. It seems he/they paid people in insurance companies for information.

Hi Hugo, Do you recall me telling you about Fly and I carrying out a search in the Glen Orchy area for a missing cyclist a few years back.

The Twin brothers responsible for his death are at last on trial and case resumes today Friday. Hard to believe anyone could be so wicked and I am pleased they have been caught. They were both off the Auch Estate and in the past gamekeepers on that estate had been caught putting out poisoned bate to kill raptors. I was always reluctant to go training with search dogs in that area not being sure what the dog would pick up.

Hi Mull,   I remember you telling me about the search that you were doing and you said then that you suspected that the farmers were responsible for the death of the cyclist.   There are some wicked people about but that incident was pure evil so they deserve to be severely punished.
You certainly did the right thing keeping Fly away from the estate and I hope that no other dogs were affected by the poison bait

Apparently it was on the National TV news but I missed seeing it, but read this article today.
