| Laptop thief lands the bank details of 15,000 policemen

A Buglar has stolen bank account details of more than 15,000 Scotland Yard officers following a huge security blunder, it emerged last night.
Sensitive financial information about high-ranking officers, thought to include Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair, and anti-terrorist detectives were stored on three laptops stolen from the company responsible for the force's pay and pensions services.
Last night, a major security review was under way at Britain's biggest force amid fears the thief could steal vast sums of money from officers' accounts.
It is also feared the computer files - which includes National Insurance numbers - could be used by criminal gangs to create false identities.
The break-in, at the offices of software group LogicaCMG in Peckham, South-East London, is a huge embarrassment to Scotland Yard.
A senior Yard source said: "Heads should roll over this. At a time of unprecedented concerns over security, it is scandalous that a thief can steal such sensitive information."
