What is the BBC protocol regarding the issuing of a persons colour in news reports?
Is it relevant if a news article if a crime has not been committed? Is it relevant if the perpetrators of a crime are still at large? Is it relevant if the suspected perpetrators are being questioned or have been arrested?

Coming out of retirement for ‘one last job’ can be dangerous, says new research
Retired bank robbers who come out of retirement for one last job run an incredibly high risk of complications, says Crime Scene, the trade magazine for professional law breakers, blaggers and briefs, which studied this increasingly popular trend.
According to its survey of 1000 criminals who’d been tempted back to do one more heist, almost all of them ran into dramatic complications which they hadn’t envisaged. Amazingly, in practically every case, the bank robber gets away without being caught but things are never the same again. Often their whole outlook on life is changed, and they realise something about themselves, and their relationship with their friends, that they didn’t know before.
According to the survey, the most common causes of things that could go wrong are Working with Amateurs, Infiltration by an Undercover Cop and Unanticipated Large Public Events – often all three. Inexplicably, many professionals allowed themselves to work in a volatile amateur – often a headcase given to emotional excesses at inappropriate times – even when they have suspicions about them right from the start.
Many regret that they didn’t conduct a thorough due diligence research on all members of their gang, which would reveal that an under cover cop had infiltrated their gang. With a little online research the gang could also have discovered that a parade, or a large sporting event, was about to take place on the streets on the day of their robbery. This makes navigating the streets very difficult after a robbery and often forces wheelmen to divert their getaway car down a back alley or across the pavement, where they will inevitably demolish somebody’s flower stall or a stack of cardboard boxes.
Ironically, most criminals who came back for just one last job cite money as their main motivation, but in 99 percent of cases they don’t get paid. One retired criminal, played by Robert Carlyle in the film Angel, come back for one last job because he was ‘disgusted by what’s happened in Thatcher’s Britain’, but it’s thought that he was an exception. Very few bank robbers are high minded socialists, says the report, but they are more often loveable rogues with a heart of gold.
However, their judgement remains terrible. ‘Criminals really must be wary of being lured out of retirement for one last job,’ said the report, ‘no matter how tempting or well conceived the idea, things always get complicated, the job will go wrong and life will never be the same again.’

Steal from somebody like a drug baron from a different city. Hit him in the early hours, nick all the cash, but leave all the drugs.
He has no idea who you are, and he can't go to the police.

I think there's a few chit chat old timers that will be doing time as a result of this enquiry.
They'll be no-one left on here if the plod keep arresting the right people at this rate.

I believe that Channel 4 news ALSO reported the suspects as being white. So, one would assume that both news channels (Channel 4 AND the BBC) were both just accurately relaying the police statement verbatim. This is very good of channel 4 to follow the exemplary standards shown by the class leader. So, you see, it wasn't some kind of racial bias by the good old Beeb...they were just doing their job in their usual, totally unbiased, manner.
Some of you really do see bogey men who aren't there, and never were. But it won't stop you seeing prejudice, will it? You'll just make it up!

The jewel thief wrote to Sky News claiming police were ignoring his offer to show them where he hid his share of the haul.

By Martin Brunt, Crime Correspondent
One of the Hatton Garden raiders has been taken from prison under armed guard to show detectives where he buried his share of the loot in a cemetery.
Danny Jones, 58, had complained in a letter to Sky News that his offer to reveal the hiding place had been ignored by Scotland Yard.
At midday on Thursday an armed convoy, with a police helicopter flying above it, took him from Belmarsh prison to a north London cemetery when he showed them where to dig.
Jones has admitted his part in the £20m heist
He was taken straight back to jail, as a team of a dozen officers in forensic suites began an excavation while 10 more stood guard.
Jones' solicitor was present to witness the operation and police took photographs which may form part of the evidence against him.
Visitors to the cemetery were allowed to lay flowers on nearby graves but were kept away from the dig which lasted around four hours.
I understand that stolen properly was recovered and taken away in several boxes.
In a letter from his prison cell before the excavation, Jones told me: "I've instructed my solicitor to tell the police Flying Squad that I want to give back my share of the Hatton Garden burglary. They said it's in motion.
"I now understand that the police said that the prison Belmarsh won't release me to the police. What a load of bull.
"The police can't want it back, as I'm the only person in the world to know where it is deep down. I want to do the right thing and give it back."
He added: "If I don't get the chance to go out under armed escort, I hope hope some poor sod who's having it hard out there with his or her family find the lot and have a nice life, as you never know, Martin, people do find things, don't they?"
Jones is one of four men who have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit centre in London over the Easter weekend. Five others pleaded not guilty and are to stand trial next month.
A gang were let into the premises, then drilled through the vault wall before ransacking more than 70 boxes of jewellery, gems and cash.
Police originally said £10m worth of property had been stolen, then revised the figure to £20m.
In a court hearing last week prosecutor Philip Evans said police had just recovered a significant amount of property, but there were still many millions missing.
