Links to the investigation
The tip-off - We wanted to ask the police directly if Geoff was or wasn’t known to them before he turned up at the yard to help them into the office. We wanted to ask but the judge said we couldn’t. Why?
So why arrest Geoff - The reason the officer gave for arresting him was that he was the owner of the yard. Except he wasn’t and isn’t. Never has been. It’s not clear exactly who is, but British Gas have some ownership of the freehold ...
The 27 minute interview - GEOFF was only ever interviewed once by the cops and that was the morning after he was arrested. Overnight in the cell at Charing Cross Police Station he stewed on the fact that the man who called him about the dodgy brakes had duped him into allowing the cocaine into the yard.
What the police did not do next - FINDING themselves able to prove Geoff was lying to them about his knowledge of the lorry, the cops did little to investigate whether there was actually any evidence that pointed to his involvement.
