Yesterday police managed to arrest almost all the members

of a much-feared gang of robbers, WHO have stolen

large amounts of money and valuables. The gang-leader, a
man called Fagin, was caught at his home at two o’clock in
the afternoon, AND is expected to hang for his crimes. For
years the police have been trying to catch him and his gang,
BUT until now they have not been able to collect enough
evidence to convict him. Other members of the gang were
taken to prison to await trial, AFTER being arrested at the
Rotherhithe house. HOWEVER , one of the robbers has
now given information about many of the gang’s crimes,
including the brutal murder of a young woman last Thursday,
WHICH has shocked the whole of London. Police believe,
from information received, THAT the murderer was the
young woman’s lover, a gang member called Bill Sikes. Sikes
was eventually trapped in a ruined house at Rotherhithe,
WHERE he accidentally hanged himself WHILE trying to
escape from the crowd pursuing him.
