A single piece of A4 paper found on top of a hidden fax machine gives police the number of a shipping container used to smuggle millions of pounds' worth of drugs from Thailand. The men responsible for bringing it into the UK had been under covert surveillance for months, but until the fax was discovered, there was no way of proving the gang’s involvement in the international drugs trade. Also today, a cheque for a mattress links a brutal killer to a body found at a Premier League football stadium.
