GMP loses memory stick

A spokesperson for GMP told GC News that media reports suggesting that the USB stick contained anti-terror manuals were "not true". GMP said that it has reviewed the device and that the information contained on the stick were all "public documents, except one which is due to be released into the public domain later this year". "I think it is fair to suggest that in most cases, anyone who found an item belonging to GMP outside a police station might do the right thing and hand it in. The person in this instance clearly had other motivations," said Superintendent Mike Freeman, of GMP's professional standards branch. "I must stress that there is absolutely no confidential material on the device or anything relating to counter terrorism. That said, we will be reminding staff of the importance of looking after GMP property and declaring losses to us when they occur."
