Good catch, they shouldn't spare the rod in punishing criminals like this, the scales of justice should ruddy well come down hard on 'eels like this and the law should keep netting such pikeys.

Sorry to carp on about it but if the police catch these again I hope that someone will let minnow about it.

They would've been battered in jail. Lucky for them it was a catch and release.
