Investigations continue after hardcore porn website displayed signs at Telford's Southwater
More than a week after a hardcore pornographic website was spotted on a digital information podium in Southwater, investigations are still continuing.
Both Telford & Wrekin Council and West Mercia Police have been working to find out how the porn website could have appeared on a totem near Telford Shopping Centre last Monday.
Officers said that, if the sign was altered in a way that relates to any criminal activity, police will work to find those responsible.
Nigel Newman, of Telford & Wrekin Council, said: "Our investigation has yet to complete and it wouldn’t be right to comment any further at this stage. This issue has also been referred to West Mercia Police."
The signs usually show information about local businesses or events and are located throughout the Southwater area, including near the library and near the International Centre and Ice Rink.
They are controlled remotely by Telford & Wrekin Council, but have been intermittently displaying the Windows operating system over the last few weeks instead of their usual adverts, a sign that they were not working properly.
