No faith in justice? Join the club

Simon Cremer caught an employee stealing £845 at his flooring business in Essex, writes Peter Rhodes.

He promptly put a "thief " sign around the crook's neck and marched him to the nearest police station.

You will not be surprised to learn that the thief got off with a caution while Mr Cremer has been forced to pay him £5,000 compensation plus £8,000 costs in an out-of-court settlement for "trauma and distress".

Mr Cremer says he now has no faith in the justice system.
