THE HERALD TRIBUNE

In November 2000, the biggest robbery ever almost took place. A local gang tried to
rob a diamond exhibition in the Millennium Dome, Greenwich, London. The
exhibition had lots of jewels on display, including the Millennium Star, a
diamond with an estimated
5 value of £200 million and one of the most perfect diamonds in the world. The
gang were planning to escape via the Thames in a speedboat.
Detective Jon Shatford stopped the robbery. He was the head of the Flying
Squad, a special department of the London Metropolitan Police Service which
specialises in investigating and preventing robberies. Kent police were already
watching the gang
10 members because they had unsuccessfully tried to rob some armoured vehicles.
Kent police said that they thought the gang were planning a very ambitious
robbery.
On 1st September, 2000, the detectives saw three of the suspected robbers, Lee
Wenham, Raymond Betson and William Cockram, at the Dome. Police
followed the suspects to a farm outside London where the other members of the
gang were hiding.
15 The gang included James Hurley, the man who planned the robbery.
On 7th November, the police caught four members of the gang who were trying
to steal the diamonds by pretending to be workers in and around the
Millennium Dome. James Hurley disappeared but was later arrested in Spain.
The leaders of the gang, Betson and Cockram, went to prison for 18 years and the

Good morning, this is the BBC. Last night thieves stole
£400 from a local shop. The owner of the shop, Ms
Calloway, was watering her flowers in her garden when
the thieves stole the money. Police found fingerprints at
the crime scene which they used to identify the thieves.
Police also found
a glove which one of the thieves dropped while they were
escaping the scene. Police are looking for two men: John
Daly, who is tall and has blond hair, and Roger Tims, who
is short with brown hair. Both men are very violent so call
the police if you see them!

Watson: I arrived at Holmes’ apartment only to find
that he was talking to a fat, old red-haired man. His
name was Wilson. He had a young employee named
Vincent Spaulding. One day, Spaulding came to
Wilson with a newspaper ad saying some Red-
headed League was looking for a redheaded man to
do some work. Wilson applied and was accepted. All
he had to do was sit in an office copying volumes of
the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
After two months, the office suddenly closed. This
seemed odd: why should someone specifically hire a
red- headed man to do such a useless job? Wilson
wanted Holmes to find out the reasons for this
suspicious dissolution of the League.
Sherlock found Spaulding intriguing: Wilson told
him that Spaulding was always going down to the
basement to develop photographs. It was a strange
activity for a man who was supposed to work during
that time, wasn’t it? That Saturday night, Holmes
forced me and a police officer to sit in a dark bank.
He told us he was waiting for a robbery to take place.
I was surprised: the bank was next to Wilson’s shop!
Holmes’ suspicions were confirmed: a thief came out
of the tunnel. Guess what? The thief was Vincent
Spaulding! Holmes explained to us what had
happened: Spaulding dug a tunnel between the
basement and the bank, he was not developing
photographs down there. This was also why he
insisted on Wilson taking the job at the Red-Headed
League. He needed him to be away while he was
digging the tunnel. Mystery solved!

The murder happened at 10 pm on 6th August. Cindy
McClure and Jenny Falon robbed a bank in the city
centre and were hiding in a flat outside the city. Cindy
decided that she wanted all of the money so she shot Jenny
while she was making a cup of tea. We found fingerprints
and a hat at the crime scene. Cindy McClure is a dangerous
woman who is very aggressive and dishonest. We
interviewed a witness who told us that Cindy was driving a
red car. We caught her while she was driving to the
airport.
