Denial on town talk of Gary Glitter

Wednesday 25th March 2009, 11:30AM GMT.

Police today denied widespread rumours that paedophile Gary Glitter had moved to Penkridge.

Talk in the town had suggested that the shamed rocker had moved in. The Express & Star has been inundated with calls about the claims but today police dismissed them.

Staffordshire Police spokesman Neil Spencer said today: “We are aware of rumours about the supposed presence in Penkridge of a named individual.

“We have investigated and are satisfied that they are nothing more than unhelpful rumour.”
