paedophile

A suspected paedophile was escorted from a shopping centre by police yesterday after they were tipped off by a member of the public. The preliminary investigation has unveiled a high-tech net of hidden cameras that are all viewed from a discrete 'control room' hidden from the visitors to the mall.

"My son loves trains, so when he saw the ride there he just had to go on it" said Gayer Hangs-Whet, the eagle-eyed member of the public. "I put a quid in so he could have three rides. After the 15th go even he was getting a little bored but every time I tried to take him off the thing would restart on its own."

"Something was clearly not right but it was only when I glanced up and saw every single camera pointing at my son that I realised this was the work of a paedophile. I dialled 999 and the police were there within 3 minutes. They dragged this pervert out into the street and, I've been told, confiscated hours of footage he'd recorded. I'm just glad that my son is safe and doesn't seem upset after his horrifying ordeal."

The police have issued a statement regarding the incident. They say they obviously cannot name the suspected paedophile who lives with his wife at 25 Cromwell Street Gloucester until he's been properly convicted. They confirmed that they had removed an amount of footage from the shopping mall primarily as evidence but also for viewing at the staff Xmas party this year.
