Three laptops containing payroll details for London's Metropolitan Police
have been stolen from LogicaCMG, a British IT services company. The
burglary took place on Thursday evening, but was discovered by staff at
Logica's London offices on Friday morning. Approximately half of the
Metropolitan Police's employees are thought to have been affected. The
police force is in the process of notifying its workers of the theft.

Logica processes the Metropolitan Police payroll and pensions. The
Metropolitan Police declined to comment on exactly what details had been
stolen, or confirm how many employees had been affected, because of the
ongoing investigation. Sources close to the inquiry claimed that the
laptops contained the payroll and pension details of more than 15,000
Metropolitan Police officers.
