THE soon-to-be notorious 'Leigh Two' will get a repeat dose of justice on Sunday.

Dai Laffin and Albi Laffin have been tracked down by super sleuths and will face town magistrates in a mock trial during a police and court open day.

Thousands are expected to turn up for the public spectacle which will see the two (in real life members of the Leigh Magistrates' Court staff) face a series of trials for alleged threatening behaviour at Leigh bus station.

"Will there be a public petition to free the 'Leigh Two' or will they get their just desserts? Come along to the Open Day to find out," said organiser Pc Kath Bromilow.

The Leigh Area Operations room into which thousands of 999-emergency calls are received each week will also be open for the first time. And visitors will have the opportunity to inspect police cells and the custody suite and learn about the procedure involved from when a person is arrested to being committed for trial.

The open day between 10am and 4pm, will be officially opened by Leigh's Young Citizen of the Year, 15 years-old Darren Speers.

The Special Constabulary's new recruiting vehicle will also be visiting Leigh for the first time in a bid to encourage more people from the community to take part.

Transport enthusiasts will be able to look at vehicles from GMP's traffic, motorway and motorcyle units and officers from the vehicle crime section will be giving advice on how to avoid being a victim of car theft.

Police dogs and horses will be there showing off their talents.

And top rally drivers Debbie Blackburn and Lindsay Partington will be at the event.

Music will be supplied by Astley Youth Band.

Sub-Divisional Commander Malcolm Howells said: "So much effort has been put in by ourselves and the court that it cannot fail to a superb day our for all the family. Come and join us."

There are facilities for disabled people. Youth groups, such as Brownies and Cubs, can be accommodated if they contact Kath Bromilow.
