ALTHOUGH outnumbered two to one, two National Carriers men chased intruders off the company's premises and foiled thefts. Brian Hayward, managing director, has rewarded their gallantry with cheques and certificates.
One Sunday evening David Finlan, the 32-year-old engineer at National Carriers' branch in Commercial Road, Ipswich, disturbed two youths who had stacked goods in readiness to steal them. They evaded capture but he described them so precisely to the police that they were arrested soon afterwards, Fred Harvey, who is 52 and is a chargernan on the night shift at the North London (Paddington) branch, confronted two men who were about to steal a bicycle. It is perhaps fortunate
that they could run faster thar he could, otherwise he migh. have been attacked.
Britain needs many more like David and Fred.
