Officers contacted dozens of suspects who'd evaded arrest and posing as a marketing company said they's won a free crate of beer.
They then arranged where the crooks -- who included those suspected of committing burglary and robbery to a serious sexual assault -- could go to collect their free beer.
However, when the unsuspecting criminals arrived, they were confronted by Derbyshire police and promptly arrested.
They never got their free crate of beer. Shame!
