Record keeping: Contact 4
1.132 PNC: Not applicable, because Huntley was not charged.
1.133 CIS Nominals: No record was made. No source documentation, which
would have led to the creation of a record, was submitted to the DIB.
In particular, an Intelligence Report on Form 839 was not filed.
1.134 CIS Crime: There was a report on CIS Crime. However, it did not name
Huntley.
1.135 CPD: A record was made. It noted Huntley’s name and recorded the
allegation (‘USI’). It also recorded (wrongly) that the result had been
a ‘caution’.
1.136 ICJS: Not applicable, as Huntley was not arrested.

allegation: non-appearance for the burglary summons/non-payment of fine
first contact with Humberside Police: 5 February 1997
1.137 Huntley was arrested at 12:15 on 5 February 1997, following two warrants:
one for failing to appear in relation to the burglary charge on 19 July 1996
(Contact 2), and one relating to a fine imposed by Grimsby and
Cleethorpes Magistrates’ Court on 5 March 1996 for not having a TV
licence. Bail was refused by the custody sergeant and Huntley was taken
before the next available court that afternoon.
1.138 At 14:15 he appeared before Grimsby and Cleethorpes Magistrates’ Court.
It appears from the court record that he was ordered to pay £2 per week
from that date in respect of the fine imposed on 5 March 1996. He was
remanded on conditional bail until 6 March 1997 on the burglary charge.

Contact 2’ (the burglary charge).
1.141 CIS Crime: Not applicable.
