Wireless leeches arrested for piggybacking

April 19th, 2007

Two people have been cautioned for using people’s wi-fi broadband internet connections without permission.

Neighbours in Redditch, Worcestershire, contacted police on Saturday after seeing a man inside a car using a laptop while parked outside a house.

He was arrested and cautioned. A woman was arrested in similar circumstances in the town earlier this month.

Good! Glad to see some serious action being taken on the leeches. It seems that at last, the law is catching up with the internet.
