One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected（可疑的） police killer David Bieber--and was thanked with flowers by the police．It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money．

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt．

Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly．Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building．

She said,” I was very nervous．But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there．”

The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious（怀疑） of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing

sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face．She said, He didn’t seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact（接触）．Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm．Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man．Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes．

“It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’ My heart missed a beat．”

Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key．

“I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to

watch．I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage．The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing．Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed（带上手铐）．”

Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson, a 54-year-old secretary．He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her．‘Most people don't seem to mind Allan,’ says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonderful．'He's my fourth child,' she says．She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog．Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides （提供）a high level of care for its people．This level of care costs money．People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes．Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill．However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance （保险）for their dog．In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage （损坏）their dog does．A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident．
