Well, I remember the article saying it was CCTV. 

And this article mentions it was CCTV.

Sure looks like mission creep to me.

But NOW we've got an interesting story if the beeb published one thing

and then revised it without an "editor's note" saying "corrects this 
specific detail" or other "marginal thinking." Be quite interested 
indeed though if the "mission creep" is for real. We're supposed to be

spotting terrorists, not village idjits.
(grin)

The editorial standards call for unmark revisions of articles.  It's not
really a BBC-specific matter, but the BBC is pretty good at this
game:
