‘Sensitive’ army papers found scattered in Newcastle street

Piles of papers containing confidential military information have been found scattered along a city street.
They include soldiers’ ranks, emails, shift patterns and weapon issue details, and information which appears to relate to accessing weapons storage and an intruder detection system.
The documents were discovered spilling out of a black bin bag in the Scotswood area of Newcastle by a football fan on 16 March and, according to information security consultant Gary Hibberd, posed a “significant” threat to individuals named in them.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said it was looking into the matter “urgently” and was conducting an internal investigation.
The papers appear to be connected to British Army regiments and barracks at Catterick Garrison.
