Police Investigation
The police investigation was codenamed Operation Hansel. A number of UK news media reported on 19 February that a man had been arrested in connection with a series of letter bomb attacks. On 22 February the suspect, Miles Cooper, was charged with seven offences under the Explosive Substances Act 1883 and with five offences against the person. Cooper pleaded not guilty, and on 27 September 2007 was found guilty on all 12 charges.

Famous quotes containing the word police:
“There was never a man born so wise or good, but one or more companions came into the world with him, who delight in his faculty, and report it. I cannot see without awe, that no man thinks alone and no man acts alone, but the divine assessors who came up with him into life,—now under one disguise, now under another,—like a police in citizen’s clothes, walk with him, step for step, through all kingdoms of time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
