One The Trail Part 2: Identify the Thief!

Now that you have a partial description of the thief you must think how you are going to catch him.

If he has never committed a crime before and has left the Huntingdon area this might be quite difficult. But, perhaps, he has a criminal record already. Is there anyone in the prisoners datafile who matches the description of the person you are looking for?

Use the Search tool to find out. Start by searching for people who match the most definite parts of the description.

Draw a table like this one to record you searches:

Search for	Number Found
Eye colour = Grey	225
and
and
and
and

Have you found one person who matches all the descriptions?

What is their name?

To be absolutely sure that you are correct there is one more thing to do. Go on to the sheet 'On the trail - Part 3'.
