CSI: Revolting Remus the arch villain!

On Friday, the master criminal Remus escaped from custody. He travelled through many different capital cities before arriving at his secret lair in Mikurajima, Japan. Luckily, the Redhill CSI's got on the case straight away! They worked in pairs to solve different clues to find out the route that Remus took to his secret lair. Within hours, the CSI's gathered together to decide upon the best course of action. Miss Sawicki and Mrs Ali, the lead detectives at Redhill have asked the team of junior CSI's to research the capital cities that Remus has been spotted in. It is important that the CSI's visit each country that Remus has travelled through so that we can collect vital evidence. To do this, we need to learn as much information about each capital city as possible so that we are not taken by surprise by the Revolting Remus gang. The CSI team will then be able to create a mission plan which will lead to the arrest of this terrible villain.

Here is a list of what must be included in each report:

Location
Methods of transport used in this country
Terrain/Landscape
Weather/Climate
Population
Flag
General Facts

Read the CSI reports on each capital city below. What do you think of our writing?
