High-Tech Hunt Ends in Vanishing Act

Police Jibe at Escaped Criminal
“Sadly the bad guy escaped through the rat run of alleyways and footpaths. He’ll come again, we have a little room at our bed and breakfast in the City Centre reserved for him.”
Police remain on the lookout as the manhunt continues across Southampton’s streets.
