Scotland Yard’s new high-speed motor flying squad gained its first victory early this morning. It saw four men supposed to have stolen a car at Hammersmith and chased them 20 miles through Putney and Clapham up the dark deserted streets until it overtook the car. The men then ran, but three were caught and charged in the Police Court. The speed’ was mostly 70 miles an hour, and never below 35. —Sydney r ‘Sun” cable.)
