Good evening. The leader of a gang who stole more than ?1 millhon from | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
high street bank computers has been jailed for more than five ydars | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Tony Colston`Haytor, who made his fortune running so`called acid raves | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
in the 1980s, ran a gang whhch also intercepted credit cards sent to | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
customers through the post. Nick Beake reports. | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
They turned up claiming that they were from IT, here to fix the | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
computer. But these men werd in fact setting up a massive cyber `ttack on | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
London's banks. They walked into branches in Swiss Cottage and Surrey | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Quays after accomplices had smoothed away over the phone, and pltgged in | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
an electronic device. It allowed them to log on elsewhere and steal a | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
huge amount of money. For the first offence, ?1.25 million was stolen, a | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
massive amount of money. Obviously we continue to investigate this | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
group, and we are aware that there were two other occasions, and the | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
third time, we were able to affect an arrest. If we hadn't, thhs group | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
would have gone on and condtcted further attacks upon the banks, and | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
would have stolen many more millions of pounds. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
At the heart of it all, 48`xear`old drug addict Tony Colston`Haxtor | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
jailed today for 5.5 years. He made his fortune in the 80s holdhng acid | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
house raves across the south`east. The guests can dance all night and | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
we go on until ten of luck hn the morning. There is no club in London | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
that you can dance all night in The judge said Crystal Method bdcome one | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
of Tony Colston`Haytor's mahn addictions, although over the years | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
he had tried many mind altering substances. Tony Colston`Haxtor had | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
been at the hub of this operation, although it was masterminded from | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
Nigeria. At a flat in Maryldbone, detectives found hundreds of credit | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
cards that had been intercepted in the post. These men posed as bank | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
staff and called customers to get their pin numbers. They then | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
purchased goods worth more than ?1 million. This cyber crime w`s at an | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
sophisticated, but also relhed upon barefaced lying, after simply | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
strolling into the banks' front door. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
Police have carried out a sdries of raids in east London followhng a BBC | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
London investigation into shops willing to deal in stolen | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
smartphones. Our reporter M`rc Ashdown joins us. What more can you | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
tell us? Traders in Ilford bought Samsungs and iPhones from an | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
undercover researcher posing as a thief. London Mobiles Limitdd and | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
one other shop both paid cash for the devices, despite the researcher | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
making it clear they were stolen. Now officers from the National | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Mobile Phone Crime Unit havd raided both shops, along with a thhrd | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
business. A nearby residenthal address was also searched. Officers | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
found a laptop and two smartphones, all of which are suspected to have | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
been stolen. A 33`year`old lan was arrested on suspicion of handling | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
stolen goods and taken to a central London police station. He h`s been | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
bailed pending further enquhries. The BBC understands the suspect has | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
links to all three businessds. Thanks very much for that. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
15 people have been arrested by City of London Police in connecthon with | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
what has been called a fake Californian gold racket. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Investigators claim they uncovered evidence of people handing over | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
six`figure sums for what thdy believed were mining rights. The | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
scam is thought to have been run from an office near Bishopsgate | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
There's growing anger in parts of north London following clails that | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
some residents are not recehving their post. Just over a fortnight | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
ago we reported that one wolan retrieved hundreds of letters dumped | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
in bushes in Brent. TNT inshsts it is providing a good service and that | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
the incidents are isolated. Here's Jean Mackenzie. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Gone are the days of waiting for the postman. Deliveries at this | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
cul`de`sac in Mill Hill are in our little less routine. Sometiles | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
arriving late at night, somdtimes not at all. Deliveries at odd times, | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
to deliveries a day, which hs unheard of, especially around here, | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
or every other day. And delhveries at nine o'clock at night, obviously | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
coming from a neighbour. Since TNT started delivering here, two of | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
Alexandra's bank statements have not turned up. It is worrying, because I | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
don't know where my bank st`tements. They could be in the bin, or in | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
someone else's door. They could be in the wrong hands. This isn't | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
confined to Mill Hill. Therd are anecdotes coming from north and West | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
London have similar problems, some stories of post for a whole street | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
being delivered through just one door. And this is just one of a | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
number of complaints receivdd by the area's assembly member. One lady | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
complained to me that a letter she had been waiting for from the | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
hospital took days to arrivd. People complain about bank statements and | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
other sensitive post being left in an unlocked bicycle. TNT delivers | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
for a number of private bushnesses, including banks, and also the NHS. | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
In three years, it wants to be delivering 40% of the UK's lail | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Last month, more than 200 ldtters were found dumped in a bush in a | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
west London park. They should have been delivered by TNT. Earlher, | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
those in the postal industrx voice their fears. I don't think they know | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
where they are going. The anecdotes you hear from various places, they | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
look like they are lost. Thdy will actually ask individual postman wary | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
certain addresses. I would definitely refute that. We have | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
seven stages of training. Wd map all of our rounds. We train our postmen. | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
We operate a buddy system. Nobody goes out with actual mail bdfore | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
they have walked around. Those in Mill Hill are now worried about | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
their summer holidays, and what will happen when they are not around to | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
carry out their mini deliveries Well, it is good night for le. Now | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
let's check on the weather with Tomasz Schafernaker. | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Good evening. Fairly quiet `cross the capital now across the weather | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
front, but for tomorrow, we will need our umbrellas, potenti`lly with | :06:42. | :06:50. | |
thunderstorms around later on. It will start off Sharia and cloudy. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
This is the scene as we go through the course of the night. A little | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
mist and fog forming by the early hours, too. You can see the rain | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
gathering across Kent, and was we go through the course of the morning, | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
the showers will trundle aw`y across London. Maybe a flash of lightning. | :07:09. | :07:16. | |
But it isn't all bad. Temperatures could just about reach 20 Cdlsius. | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
And then tomorrow evening, xou can see these lime`green colour is here. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Potential thunderstorms on the way. The outlook as we head into the | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
weekend, you can see what is going on. Sunday might be brighter. Now | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
over to Louise Lear for the national weather. | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Good evening. Today has been a day of sunny spells and a few scattered | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
showers, but where we see the sunshine, we have also seen some | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
warmth, with temperatures in the high teens. A slightly disappointing | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
story across the far north-east of | :07:52. | :07:52. |
