three of us were arrested (4th was on day off and wasnt arrested), we were taken and held for around 7 hrs before being questioned by people from NTL/Telewest along with a police officer and legal rep (if required)
I had no idea that my boss was doing this sort of thing, I just worked there.
At the time I lived with my Dad who was a virgin media customer.
as the property wasnt my own, they couldnt ask me for permission to search the place and would need a warrant.
they didnt bother.
I was released on bail for 9 months and when I returned was told I was being let go with no further action.
my 3 colleagues were re-arrested again and by this time Virgin Media had acquired Telewest NTL..
Sounds nasty, actually sounds more like guilty until proven inocent
