Another data loss

This time a USB memory stick containing 165,000 pages of suspects' details has been found by a member of the public outside a betting shop in Stevenage. The data was unencrypted and the finder was able to access all the information when he plugged it into his PC.

Good job the finder was a good citizen and handed it in.
