Crimewatch Plea - Can You Help?

Can You Help The Police??

Police in Cardiff are searching for a gang of 15 men, believed to be from the North London area, after a valuable piece of antique silverware was stolen from the Millennium Stadium. The silver was smuggled out of the stadium in full view of 70,000 people and millions watching on TV, following an unprovoked attack on a party of visitors from Manchester.

The mugging took place late on Saturday afternoon as the visitors from Manchester were enjoying a stroll in the park. A spokesman for South Wales police said:

"This was a particularly nasty and cowardly assault. The attackers lulled the gentlemen from Manchester into a false sense of security by standing around doing absolutely nothing for two hours, then just as the visitors were about to get back onto their coach and return to Manchester with their trophy, the vicious thugs struck."

Police are particularly interested in talking to one member of the gang who is commonly referred to as 'Captain', described as "tall, hard and skilful with links to France and Senegal". He was seen during the two hours repeatedly committing minor offences along with a young Spanish lad, who left the scene before the end.

International arch-criminal 'the Professor' is thought to lead the gang that includes French, Dutch, Cameroon, Spanish and one tall German person known to flap around under pressure. The police are also very concerned about one young English lad, apparently held by the gang against his will despite repeated attempts to move to West London.
