Following Jamie’s and Dane’s confessions, and after getting the e-fit of the shaven-haired man on River Lane together with witness statements, she had handed over the pair to Southall CID to finish off the interrogation. Now she had to chase things up, so she put in a phone call to the DS leading the investigation. He proudly told her that Jamie and Dane had gone on to admit another ten burglaries and car thefts and had also given up the two other members of their team. They had been released on bail late last night and this morning detectives were currently out hunting down the other two thieves. Finishing the conversation Scarlett thanked him, but as she hung up she sighed. On the one hand, the information and result would make for good reading, but on the other she knew all she was doing was justifying the cost of resources used on the operation. She thought it was quite sad that everything boiled down to money these days. Scarlett finished the report just before midday, and pushing back her chair took in the office.
