Stolen: Top secret entry codes to 73 police stations | the Daily Mail
Top-secret entry codes to some of Britain's biggest police stations have been stolen in an astonishing Scotland Yard security blunder.The details - which gave confidential keypad access numbers to 73 police stations across London - were stolen from a car owned by a worker for a vehicle-maintenance contractor.
The disclosure raises disturbing questions about how highly sensitive information is being treated by private firms working for public bodies.
The security bungle on December 28 was so serious that the Metropolitan Police's most senior operational commander was woken at 1am after officers realised the theft meant terrorists or criminals had potential access to 80 per cent of London's stations.
