Four CDs containing details from court cases have gone
missing in the post.
The
computer disks vanished after being sent by recorded
delivery.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) had previously hand-delivered
the four CDs to Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Court Administration
(HMICA) last December.
The disks contained details of at least 55 magistrates' court
defendants and other "restricted" data not released in open court,
the Daily Mail reports.
A police spokesman could not confirm whether the disks contained
details of witnesses.
HMICA has launched an internal investigation into what happened
to the disks.
