A hearse and mourners' limousine were clamped as undertakers prepared to take a coffin to a funeral. Clamping company ISTM, which last year won the RAC Foundation's Dick Turpin Award for "highway robbery", demanded £200 to release the vehicles which had been left in a car park in East London.
ISTM eventually removed the clamps free of charge.
"The undertakers couldn't believe their eyes. They thought it was absolutely disgusting," an onlooker said. Bosses at Poplar Harca, which owns the car park and uses ISTM as contractors, later said they had ordered the removal.
