CRIME PAYS FOR THE BILL (10/6/04)

From The Sun by Jonathan Weinberg.

Undercover investigation ... Sun Online man Jonathan finds himself banged up in the cells of Sun Hill
Ello, ello, ello, what's going on 'ere then.

Could The Bill's Sun Hill be the most corrupt police station in Britain?

In the last five years those pounding the beat have been involved in at least NINE deaths, THREE kidnappings, THREE rapes, a sexual assault, and dozens of beatings, bungs and courtroom lies.

And that’s just the ones our undercover probe has turned up.

Last night ITV1 viewers saw crazed copper Gabriel Kent rape colleague PC Kerry Young (Beth Cordingly) after he became obsessed with the blonde beauty.

But that's not his only crime as you'll find out when you read our dossier of evidence on PC Kent and his colleagues.

He's the latest in a long line of coppers to get mixed up in crime or turn as bent as a nine bob note.

A spokesman for the show said: "Corrupt copper storylines have given us some of our highest rating episodes.

"They're often the characters viewers love to hate but we also have loads of good officers like Sergeant June Ackland and PC Tony Stamp who believe in honest police work to balance it out."

Here we reveal our top 10 Rogues Gallery from The Bill's ranks past and present.

Your honour, we've got them bang to rights.
