Noye's tangled web of corruption

In the late 70s Noye joined the Hammersmith Freeemasons' Lodge in west London. He was

proposed and seconded by two police officers. He eventually rose to be the master of

the lodge with the support of the membership of which the police made up a sizeable

proportion. Other masons included dealers in gold and other precious metals. A little

while later Noye was being helped out of an arrest by a detective who was a fellow mason.
