Insp Martin Stevens admited the operation was bizarre but effective.
He said "scanning is a serious matter and illegal. Police need to keep radio conversations secret. We may carry out more operations like the UFO sighting."
Funny that. Since I got my loft converted and installed a modern expensive midi-stereo unit, I can clearly pick up police transmissions throught Sussex and beyond. It only happens on that one in the loft, the others around the rest of the house are ok.
Its the traffic police I can hear not the locals, it bleeds all over the weaker stations and between stations.
