This seems quite big news today, the police seem quite chuffed with themselves.

Myself, I was rather suprised to hear the gang of seven got sentences totalling 17 years... between the seven of them?
Gang members were given sentences ranging from five years in jail to community service orders.
This was a multi million pound crime ring... some of them got community service?!?!
Now, granted, these are just the guys that altered the car identities and sold them, rather than the thugs that stole them, sometimes at gunpoint, it just seems a little light for such a massive operation to me?
