Police found vile pictures on a paedophile's phone after he threw it onto a shed roof when officers knocked at his door.
Officers raided Sean Melvin's home in Widnes and asked him where he kept his devices, the Liverpool Echo reports. They seized one iPhone which was found in a drawer next to his bed, while the 34-year-old said he had another phone in an upstairs bedroom.
When police couldn't find this device, they called the number and could hear it ringing outside. They then found it on top of garden shed, Liverpool Crown Court heard yesterday (January 2).
