问答题 据英国报纸报道,痴迷于足球的罪犯们纷纷向英国警方投案自首以求在世界杯之前及时结束短暂的刑期。 《旗帜晚报》报道,伦敦北部的赫特福德郡警方开展了“红牌行动”,向未到庭的被告发出了一条简单的信息:要么立即投案,要么在世界杯期间呆在没有电视的警局监房里。“有一名男子甚至打了背包上庭,准备在牢里呆上一阵,”报纸援引赫特福德警官奈杰尔(Nigel)的话。 “毫无疑问他是想赶快结束刑期,以确保在世界杯开赛之时重获自由。” 报纸说,发往罪犯们已知最新地址的296封信已经使17人前往当地警局面对袭击和盗窃之类的指控,另有10人到庭受审。不是球迷的罪犯也并不安全。 奈杰尔说寄信的另一成果是使警方收到了60条关于其他罪犯下落的线报,警方将在今后数周内对他们展开追捕。
