Two security workers have been sacked after placing an electronic tag on an offender's false leg, allowing him to remove them and breach his curfew.
Christopher Lowcock had wrapped the prosthetic limb in a bandage and fooled staff when they set up the monitoring device at his Rochdale home.
The 29-year-old was under a court-imposed curfew for drinking and driving offences as well as having an offensive weapon.
But he was able to breach the order simply by removing his false leg - and the tag - after the workers at Government-contracted private security firm G4S failed to carry out the proper tests.
G4S f**king diabolical they are if they can not find the different between a real and false leg, my dog can tell me if a man has a false leg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
