Mobile phone snappers face jail for having tried to photograph a prisoner

Two women, one aged 17, were spotted using their mobile phones just feet away from a prisoner at Manchester Crown Court.

Anne Marie McGlacken, from Romiley, Stockport and the teenager were in court as a relative was being sentenced for possessing a key-fob gun and ammunition.

Judge Martin Rudland ordered that the women should be arrested and have their phones seized for police examination.

He told them: "You must both understand a custodial sentence is highly likely for what you have done and I give you fair warning now that it is likely to follow." (via BBC News)
