These are the faces of sex offenders, thieves, thugs and drug dealers locked up for crimes in Northamptonshire over the last month. They include:
■ Two men who beat and tortured their victim to get his bank details and access to a safe
■ An ex-serviceman from Towcester who found he was chatting to an undercover police officer while setting up a date with an supposed 11-year-old girl
■ A career criminal with 86 previous convictions who spared two police chases by stealing a statue from The Range
All are now detained at Her Majesty's pleasure....
