Looks like they have had a TIP off
Police have visited London rubbish tips in their hunt for missing computer discs containing personal details of 25 million people.
The two Child Benefit discs containing names, dates of birth, bank and address details went missing on 18 October.
They were lost when a junior official sent them by courier from Tyne and Wear to the National Audit Office in London.
It is believed police fear the discs may have accidentally been thrown out as rubbish. Police have visited several tips around London to check what waste was delivered there.
