    Puffbox web app nails murder suspect

    Policeman’s helmet with new Puffbox-inspired badgeLess than a week ago, Puffbox handed over our map-mashup tool for journalists to Sky News. Sky went live with it on Monday, as part of their Crime Uncovered week. Today:

    One of Britain’s most wanted men has been arrested after being featured on the Sky News website. Police had been hunting the 62-year-old man in connection with the murder of a woman in Cannock, Staffordshire. Detectives said that the arrest came from people looking at our interactive map, which forms part of our Crime Uncovered section.

    You don’t mess with Puffbox. Guess we’d better add ‘crimebusting’ to our list of consultancy services. 😉
