NOTES TO EDITORS

Street Crime is produced by Bytewire Limited, a company set up in 2008 by David Heward and Elliot Reeve. The two childhood friends from Maldon, Essex have been working on a beta version of the game for the past 2 years. David initially built the first version of the game for fun whilst studying Business Administration at the University of Kent. With no previous computer programming experience, David set about creating the game through independent research using books and online material. After graduating, he decided to set up business with Elliot and focus on bringing Street Crime to the masses.

The game's potential was spotted at the end of 2008 by a Hampshire based online publisher, Fubra Limited, who invested in the firm.

The online games market is worth $1 billion annually and is growing by 22% each year.
