As you no doubt saw in the news on Friday, five men have been charged with conspiracy to kidnap Victoria Beckham last November. The plot was unearthed by the News of the World last Autumn who then tipped off police. According to the paper the gang intended to ambush Beckham in front of her North London home and use a chemical spray to sedate her and any companions. They would then have taken her to a location in South London and demanded a multi-million pound ransom. A police spokesman wouldn’t comment on the charges, accept to say: "Following consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service it has been decided that they will be charged with the offence of conspiracy to kidnap Victoria Beckham."
