Hunt for Pip’s pic pincher
CYBER-CRIME police are probing the alleged theft of intimate photos from Pippa Middleton’s phone, Scotland Yard confirmed yesterday,
Metropolitan police officers acted after they were contacted by the Duchess of Cambridge’s sister over the snaps, said to have been stolen from her iCloud account and offered for sale to newspapers.
They are said to show her millionaire fiancé James Matthews, 40, naked, and Pippa attending a wedding dress fitting with her mum Carole, 61. A police spokesman said: “Officers received a report concerning the alleged hacking of an iCloud account.
“Specialist officers are now investigating.
“No arrests have been made. Enquiries are ongoing.”
The thief said he was seeking a quick sale to either a British or US publication.
Alternatively, he said he would return the images to Pippa once he was paid.
It isn’t the first time Pippa has been the target of crooks. In 2008, two men tried to sell a memory card taken from her camera with holiday snaps of her and senior royals.
