Newspaper ill-advised to let police post their own online story 

Torquay Herald Express newspaper have produced a conducted something which is unusual and does not tend to happen very often or ever. The local newspaper have allowed their local police force to write their own piece in their newspaper. The section is labelled who is this man? The reason they have allowed this is due to a fan who has stolen a canvas bad from a library which was left on the floor and unattended to while the owners had not been around. The newspaper and the local police see this as a “historical event.” Mt view on this story is that I believe that if the bag was stolen from the library it would have made more sense to me if someone who was present in the library at the time to right the story as, they would have a full insight on the story. I believe that this was done in an act of creating history by having the first amateur which was present within the police to write a story in the newspaper rather, than them doing this in order to help with the police investigation.
