A pensioner stabbed to death by burglars. My brother rang up, and he

:00:09.:00:23.

goes, dad is dead. You hear those words just everyday. A young father

:00:24.:00:29.

hit by a stray bullet. This innocent man suffered until he took his last

:00:30.:00:36.

breaths because somebody took a gun and shot him. And the one who got

:00:37.:00:43.

away, the hunt for Hatton Garden's redhead thief. Live for the next

:00:44.:00:46.

hour, this is Crimewatch. Good evening and welcome

:00:47.:01:09.

to Crimewatch. We're live for the next 60 minutes

:01:10.:01:10.

with crime investigations, The Flying Squad will be

:01:11.:01:13.

here with the latest on Basil and Hatton Garden but first

:01:14.:01:20.

a brief look at what else We have a fresh collection

:01:21.:01:23.

of wanted faces. The lines are open so get dialling

:01:24.:01:27.

if you know where they are. Including the moment a man

:01:28.:01:30.

was ambushed for his scooter. It was happening so quickly that I

:01:31.:01:45.

couldn't react, and the next thing I must have lost consciousness. Also

:01:46.:01:50.

tonight, we need your help to identify a murder victim, tied up in

:01:51.:01:52.

a sleeping bag in Ireland. Police are convinced he's British

:01:53.:01:54.

but who is he? David Brickwood was a 74-year-old

:01:55.:01:59.

grandfather from Abington in Northamptonshire

:02:00.:02:01.

with a large, loving family. So why in September was he murdered

:02:02.:02:03.

in his own home? Tonight we can reveal new CCTV

:02:04.:02:09.

which may hold the answers to this horrific murder,

:02:10.:02:12.

but first we hear from David's sons Every day it kicks you at some

:02:13.:02:33.

point. The fear that he must have had. What a horrible way to go.

:02:34.:02:40.

Lindsay Avenue was his little castle, and seeing forensic people,

:02:41.:02:47.

tape all round it, people laying flowers, you cannot make sense of

:02:48.:02:55.

any of it. David Brickwood had lived at the same house in Abington for 45

:02:56.:03:01.

years. He ran a scrap metal business from the back garden of his

:03:02.:03:09.

property. That was just his life. He was brought up to go out there

:03:10.:03:13.

collecting metals, and that is all he knew. He loved the simple things

:03:14.:03:21.

in life. Didn't go on holiday, didn't drink or smoke. He lived for

:03:22.:03:29.

work and that is how he was. Hard-working, funny, helpful. He was

:03:30.:03:33.

just a total gentleman to everybody. People like that, they just aren't

:03:34.:03:40.

around any more. He was very content within himself. Scrap was his hobby.

:03:41.:03:46.

He always made everyone welcome that you see around the street, that's

:03:47.:03:50.

what he was known for. Always standing there with a cup of tea in

:03:51.:03:55.

his hand, smiling and talking to everyone. He could never do enough

:03:56.:03:59.

for people. He was always helping people. Really a lovely man, I'm

:04:00.:04:08.

proud to say he was my father. Friday the 25th of September was

:04:09.:04:13.

like any other for David. At around 7:30pm, he returned home from the

:04:14.:04:17.

local shops, having gone out to buy some dinner. At quarter past eight,

:04:18.:04:30.

David's grandson, who had been staying at the house, went out for

:04:31.:04:38.

the night. After watching television for several hours, David locked up

:04:39.:04:39.

and headed to bed. David had been stabbed five times.

:04:40.:07:02.

He received injuries to his leg, hands and head. Police. Police!

:07:03.:07:26.

When police arrived, his condition had deteriorated and he suffered a

:07:27.:07:28.

heart attack. My brother rang up and he goes,

:07:29.:07:53.

dad's dead, and you know that dad's dead every day, you hear them

:07:54.:08:00.

words just every day. I had to go and tell my mum and then

:08:01.:08:13.

tell my children. It is just heartbreaking. We got a life

:08:14.:08:25.

sentence, we did, but like dad we were innocent. We were just normal

:08:26.:08:32.

people getting on with our lives. I saw my dad on the Friday, he is gone

:08:33.:08:40.

on the Saturday. My world fell apart, I was destroyed. Seeing my

:08:41.:08:44.

dad laying there, seeing the look on his face... It is just so hard to

:08:45.:08:53.

believe that someone could do this. You know, he was a

:08:54.:08:59.

non-confrontational man. Everybody is stuck from the murder of my

:09:00.:09:08.

father. Until these people get caught, we cannot rebuild our lives.

:09:09.:09:14.

We cannot move forward. All everybody wants is just justice for

:09:15.:09:16.

my dad. Well, we're joined now by DCI

:09:17.:09:19.

Mick Graham who is the lead detective on this case.

:09:20.:09:24.

Such a shocking crime, We are not entirely sure, it is an

:09:25.:09:39.

unnecessarily level of violence. We know he used to keep significant

:09:40.:09:46.

sums of money, mainly 20 and ?50 note so they should be noticeable.

:09:47.:09:50.

David has been stabbed, as you have seen from the video, five times. The

:09:51.:09:56.

attackers would have been bloodstained, so did anybody see any

:09:57.:10:00.

bloodstained clothing that night, someone acting suspiciously? And you

:10:01.:10:06.

are particularly interested in two cars. We have images of the sorts of

:10:07.:10:12.

cars because you saw them on CCTV. Yes, these are the style of cars we

:10:13.:10:17.

are looking at. We have two Ford focus cars, one is light-coloured

:10:18.:10:22.

and one is dark coloured, a different model and series. They are

:10:23.:10:27.

both travelling in convoy, they both turned around in the locality of

:10:28.:10:32.

Lindsay Avenue. I think they are involved, those vehicles travelling

:10:33.:10:37.

together. And there are also people walking past in the area at that

:10:38.:10:43.

time that you would also like to hear from? Yes, there were people

:10:44.:10:49.

arguing outside David's house at about quarter to 12. This is a male

:10:50.:10:54.

and female we believe, so we would ask them to come forward. They may

:10:55.:11:00.

have witnessed something. Similarly we have two males walking away at

:11:01.:11:04.

midnight, they may have information that could assist the inquiry. This

:11:05.:11:10.

is September last year, and there is a reward? Yes, there is a ?10,000

:11:11.:11:17.

reward for the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.

:11:18.:11:25.

Whoever did this is violent and dangerous.

:11:26.:11:26.

If you can help in any way, please call now on our usual

:11:27.:11:31.

Detectives are standing by for your calls.

:11:32.:11:34.

A round-up of crime news now and with less than a week

:11:35.:11:36.

until Valentine's day plenty of people will be looking

:11:37.:11:38.

But according to the latest figures, the number of people bring raped

:11:39.:11:42.

on a first date with someone they've met through dating apps or websites

:11:43.:11:45.

has increased six-fold in five years.

:11:46.:11:47.

The National Crime Agency says there were 184 rape allegations

:11:48.:11:50.

in the UK in 2014, up from 33 in 2009.

:11:51.:11:53.

The agency believes the number is under reported and is encouraging

:11:54.:11:55.

:11:56.:12:04.

Two friends who rented out their home on website Airbnb say

:12:05.:12:07.

they returned to find their rare artwork stolen and flat trashed.

:12:08.:12:13.

Jack Clarke and Dominic Jones say they arrived back at their home

:12:14.:12:16.

in Islington in London to find condoms, laughing gas canisters

:12:17.:12:18.

and cannabis joints strewn throughout, while chewing gum

:12:19.:12:23.

and food had been trodden into the carpet.

:12:24.:12:28.

Dominic's treasured print by artist Banksy, thought to be worth around

:12:29.:12:30.

eight thousand pounds, was also taken.

:12:31.:12:38.

I went upstairs and realised this Banksy print was missing. I think

:12:39.:12:45.

then obviously I was immediately completely gutted. Just thinking

:12:46.:12:52.

somebody had been in the flat treating it with such little

:12:53.:12:56.

respect, could have been doing anything in your personal space, it

:12:57.:13:07.

is just a horrible feeling. Air BnB say they have zero tolerance for

:13:08.:13:12.

this kind of thing and they are assisting police with their

:13:13.:13:13.

investigation. A man who stole a dumper truck

:13:14.:13:16.

and left a 37-mile trail of destruction during a police

:13:17.:13:20.

chase across two counties The two-hour low-speed pursuit last

:13:21.:13:22.

July started in Norwich 40-year-old Nicholas Churchill

:13:23.:13:25.

from Brandon damaged several vehicles, including police cars,

:13:26.:13:32.

causing an estimated ?28,000 The pursuit took place on major

:13:33.:13:34.

roads as well Churchill was jailed on Friday

:13:35.:13:39.

for 14 months after admitting dangerous driving whilst

:13:40.:13:42.

unfit through drugs. He said he took the truck

:13:43.:13:44.

from his employer after becoming angry about the air conditioning

:13:45.:13:46.

in his cab, saying it was too Father-of-two Marvin Couson had been

:13:47.:13:49.

enjoying a night out when he was hit by a stray bullet outside

:13:50.:14:00.

a nightclub in 2002. He survived but with serious

:14:01.:14:02.

injuries and spent the next 13 years confined to a hospital bed,

:14:03.:14:05.

unable to communicate. Now, for the first time,

:14:06.:14:12.

Crimewatch of that night in the hope that

:14:13.:14:14.

new witnesses will come forward. 13 years in pain, in suffering. Part

:14:15.:14:39.

of you thinks Marvin is still in there. Marvin is my big brother.

:14:40.:14:53.

Very much there for us as a family. He was one of those people that you

:14:54.:15:02.

gravitate towards. If Marvin meets you today, you are his friend for

:15:03.:15:09.

life. He has no enemies. Back in 2002, 26-year-old father of two

:15:10.:15:14.

Marvin Couson was enjoying life in London. In the early hours of

:15:15.:15:19.

Sunday, May the 12th, he arrived at the Lime Bar in Shoreditch with

:15:20.:15:27.

friends. The bar was packed. He knew how to have a good time. He would

:15:28.:15:31.

dance with his friends and everybody would look and see what Marvin is

:15:32.:15:38.

doing. He danced really well, if he started dancing he would get a crowd

:15:39.:15:44.

around him. Just after 3am, the partying came to a dramatic end.

:15:45.:15:53.

There was a shot fired which has caused people to panic, leave the

:15:54.:15:58.

club and spill out onto the street. Nobody was injured by the gunshot,

:15:59.:16:02.

but about 300 people were left standing outside. In particular,

:16:03.:16:12.

everyone's eyes would have gone to this red or burgundy Ford Fiesta.

:16:13.:16:18.

One of Marvin's friends stood in the road blocking the car.

:16:19.:16:54.

Bruv, no, no, no! Call an ambulance, man!

:16:55.:17:13.

The gunshot punctured his heart, ricocheted off his ribs we were

:17:14.:17:25.

told, without oxygen for approximately 20 minutes or half an

:17:26.:17:28.

hour, so that is what caused his brain injury. Initially, after the

:17:29.:17:36.

shooting the doctors believed his brain was completely dead but he

:17:37.:17:45.

surprised them, being Marvin, he started to breathe unsupported, so

:17:46.:17:48.

they changed the diagnosis saying that he was not completely

:17:49.:17:52.

brain-dead. Marvin was alive but completely unable to communicate. He

:17:53.:17:58.

would be in the bed, he would just be lying there. You believed he

:17:59.:18:05.

could hear you when you made a joke. Part of you would think, yes, Marvin

:18:06.:18:11.

is still there, but he is trapped. He can't really say anything. He is

:18:12.:18:18.

just trapped. He can hear your voice and he would respond to it, he could

:18:19.:18:23.

grin or smile, the serious expressions that he had, you would

:18:24.:18:29.

tease him and say, come on, it's not that bad. He would grin. For 13 long

:18:30.:18:37.

years Marvin was trapped in this condition, his family visited every

:18:38.:18:42.

single day. Sometimes he would be smiling but he was often in agony.

:18:43.:18:50.

When you go there, you see him, and you want to cry. You know that he's

:18:51.:18:56.

in pain. And seeing it breaks your heart. Early last year Marvin's

:18:57.:19:03.

health began to deteriorate and on a visit in August the family became

:19:04.:19:07.

alarmed by his condition. He started reading direct -- he started

:19:08.:19:19.

breathing irregularly. I saw something I had not seen before,

:19:20.:19:30.

struggling to take breaths. Marvin passed away a short time after that

:19:31.:19:38.

video was taken. I felt that people needed to see that this man, this

:19:39.:19:42.

innocent man, completely innocent, suffered in this way. Until he took

:19:43.:19:51.

his last breath, because somebody took a gun and shot him. Although it

:19:52.:20:05.

happened 13 years after he was shot, Marvin's death came as a direct

:20:06.:20:10.

result of his gunshot injuries. Police are now dealing with a murder

:20:11.:20:16.

investigation. They hope the passage of time will encourage witnesses to

:20:17.:20:22.

finally come forward. Certainly there are around 300 people and of

:20:23.:20:26.

those people some people were unwilling to give statements at the

:20:27.:20:29.

time, we understand they may have had different loyalties or have been

:20:30.:20:34.

frightened and people may not remember, but clearly if you were in

:20:35.:20:41.

the club that night, and shots were fired you would remember. It's a

:20:42.:20:46.

rare occurrence. If someone had been murdered, you would remember that

:20:47.:20:49.

and it would be crystal clear. We have had to live with... Marvin had

:20:50.:20:59.

to live as a result of the gunshot wound, for 13 years and two months

:21:00.:21:05.

and 27 days, it is registered in my head. In pain and suffering. I want

:21:06.:21:12.

them to be caught. I want to see them and let them speak to me, why?

:21:13.:21:22.

I want justice. This person did not die of natural causes, this person

:21:23.:21:27.

died as a result of your gunshot, your gunshot to his heart. His last

:21:28.:21:35.

breath as you see in the video was down to you, because you pulled the

:21:36.:21:43.

trigger. DCI Noel McHugh is here. An innocent man in the wrong place at

:21:44.:21:47.

the wrong time but it is 13 years ago, do you really think somebody

:21:48.:21:53.

could help? Yes, it was 13 years ago but people will recall that shot and

:21:54.:21:57.

300 people spilled onto the street and many would have witnessed what

:21:58.:22:01.

happened to Marvin, they would have heard rumours at the time and then

:22:02.:22:08.

with his death in August. It is the Ford Fiesta in the street that is

:22:09.:22:14.

crucial? Yes, that is central to the investigation, possibly a T Reg. Red

:22:15.:22:23.

or burgundy. Marvin's friend was struck by it and then there was an

:22:24.:22:27.

altercation and the shot came from inside the cart or nearby. We want

:22:28.:22:33.

to trace the occupants, two black men. You are now offering a

:22:34.:22:38.

substantial reward? ?40,000 for information leading to the arrest or

:22:39.:22:41.

prosecution of those responsible for his murder. I understand people may

:22:42.:22:47.

have had loyalties to other people, they may have been afraid or maybe

:22:48.:22:54.

assumption that someone else made the call. Please look at what

:22:55.:22:57.

happened to his family and make that call.

:22:58.:22:59.

It's a dreadful case but with your help it can

:23:00.:23:01.

If there's something you know which could help Marvin's family get

:23:02.:23:11.

justice, please call the detectives here in the studio on 0500 600 600.

:23:12.:23:16.

You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously.

:23:17.:23:19.

Police from Ireland ask for your help to identify a British

:23:20.:23:24.

busker, murdered and buried in a back garden.

:23:25.:23:34.

But we've got wanted faces first starting with 34 year

:23:35.:23:36.

He was found guilty of drug dealing in December but didn't return

:23:37.:23:42.

to court for sentencing and is now on the run.

:23:43.:23:45.

He's known to travel around the north west of England and has

:23:46.:23:48.

The 37 year old was arrested in connection with the rape

:23:49.:23:53.

He was released on bail but has failed to return for

:23:54.:23:57.

Originally from Pakistan, he has links across Greater

:23:58.:24:01.

She was found guilty of people trafficking, after bringing at least

:24:02.:24:08.

She charged each family ?12,000 and then threatened them

:24:09.:24:20.

if they wouldn't pay what she called 'taxes' of up to ?300 a week.

:24:21.:24:23.

Ul Haq went on the run last month and was sentenced in her abscence

:24:24.:24:26.

She has contacts across West Yorkshire and

:24:27.:24:30.

Finally for now is David Rotheram, although he also calls himself

:24:31.:24:34.

Detectives in Merseyside want to question him after 2

:24:35.:24:37.

security guards were robbed as they filled

:24:38.:24:39.

Rotheram was 33 last month and has LFC tattooed on his left arm.

:24:40.:24:43.

He's described as dangerous, so if you know where he is,

:24:44.:24:45.

If you know where any of tonight's other faces might be please do get

:24:46.:24:51.

in touch using the numbers on screen.

:24:52.:24:55.

We'll go through the rest of the line up a little later.

:24:56.:24:58.

A round-up of crimes caught on camera now.

:24:59.:25:00.

Starting this month with a violent robbery in London.

:25:01.:25:11.

Wednesday evening in Southwark and the man was chatting with his friend

:25:12.:25:17.

in the street. It was a nice, sunny day. Lots of daylight at that time.

:25:18.:25:23.

As they talked to men on pushbikes, a man in a dark hoodie, and two men

:25:24.:25:28.

on mopeds all went past in quick succession. They then appear to hang

:25:29.:25:33.

around at the end of the street. Just off-camera. Minutes later, as

:25:34.:25:43.

Dirk started his scooter, they struck. It was happening so quickly

:25:44.:25:52.

that I could not react. The next thing they must have thrown me onto

:25:53.:25:58.

the floor and I lost consciousness. You can see one of them kicking Dirk

:25:59.:26:02.

in the head and another stamped on him. The gang left him lying

:26:03.:26:07.

helpless on the pavement as they scarpered with his bike. It was

:26:08.:26:18.

horrific, really. You feel numb and dazed. The first few weeks, I always

:26:19.:26:27.

had in the back of my mind that this happened, and I was nervous. Do you

:26:28.:26:33.

know who these callous muggers are? Names, please.

:26:34.:26:41.

Also in tonight's CCTV... A shop in Brixton in south London in October

:26:42.:26:49.

and these men are in a hurry, one man is armed with what looks like a

:26:50.:26:55.

pellet gun. He immediately starts to fire at the terrified shopkeeper. He

:26:56.:26:58.

shoots him again in the head and face. As the victim cowers, the

:26:59.:27:04.

other robber grabs the till, dragging it out of the store.

:27:05.:27:09.

Surgeons removed several pellets from the face of the shopkeeper but

:27:10.:27:13.

he still has one behind his eye. Who are these hooded thugs? Another

:27:14.:27:24.

shop, this time in Liverpool in January. As the employee is closing

:27:25.:27:32.

up, a man follows him inside. Armed with a knife, he demands cash from

:27:33.:27:39.

the till. He takes handful after handful, and stuffs it into his

:27:40.:27:45.

pockets. But he looks straight up at the camera. He then demands the

:27:46.:27:52.

cigarettes from the display. All the time holding a knife to the

:27:53.:27:59.

petrified worker's throat. He then march is the assistant to a back

:28:00.:28:03.

room where, out of sight of the cameras, the worker is forced to

:28:04.:28:09.

open a save. Do you recognise this knife wielding robber? You know what

:28:10.:28:19.

to do. A bookies in Wolverhampton one evening last September. A man in

:28:20.:28:23.

a black coat tries to cash in his winnings but another punter in a

:28:24.:28:26.

blue polo shirt wants him to step outside. The man ignores him and the

:28:27.:28:34.

disgruntled gambler walks off. But he returns seconds later and

:28:35.:28:38.

launches a sickening punch at the unsuspecting victim. The unprovoked

:28:39.:28:45.

attack caused extensive damage to his eye which needed surgery. Stack

:28:46.:28:50.

the odds against this all loser and maim him tonight. -- sore loser. And

:28:51.:29:01.

name him. This CCTV is from house in central London but these men live

:29:02.:29:08.

here. -- don't live here. The camera picks them up in the homeowner 's

:29:09.:29:12.

bedroom and they are clearly looking for something. They rifle through

In 2002 a gruesome discovery was made in a garden

:29:55.:29:56.

The owner of a bungalow was carrying out building work

:29:57.:30:02.

The body had been wrapped in a sleeping bag and left

:30:03.:30:07.

A post mortem was carried out, but the remains have never

:30:08.:30:11.

14 years on and Irish detectives believe someone in the UK could hold

:30:12.:30:19.

Detective Inspector Michael Coppinger joins me now.

:30:20.:30:24.

Talk us through your initial investigation.

:30:25.:30:28.

All these years ago. Yes, in a local developer purchased the property and

:30:29.:30:36.

while he was cleaning out the rear garden with a mechanical digger you

:30:37.:30:41.

discovered a shallow grave containing skeleton remains. You

:30:42.:30:44.

think the body was there for a couple of years? How had he been

:30:45.:30:51.

killed? He was killed and concealed in a sleeping bag tied with a nylon

:30:52.:30:56.

rope and a postmortem revealed that he died of blood for straw man.

:30:57.:31:02.

There were specific items with him that you think people could help to

:31:03.:31:11.

identify? That's correct, a couple of items were found in the shallow

:31:12.:31:16.

grave including these rings and these boots were still in the

:31:17.:31:19.

sleeping bag with the remains. You think he was called Dave but what

:31:20.:31:25.

more do you know? He was known to some people who frequented the spot

:31:26.:31:28.

at the front of the area where he was found and these people believe

:31:29.:31:34.

he was called Dave and also called Dave Rawson and he may be known by

:31:35.:31:39.

another name in the UK. He had links to specific parts of England? He may

:31:51.:31:54.

positive identification, for someone to ring in and tell you who he is

:31:55.:32:00.

and also find who killed him. That's correct. We would like somebody to

:32:01.:32:05.

positively identify the person known to us as Dave, we believe he is from

:32:06.:32:10.

the UK. And appeal to anyone who has information in relation to how he

:32:11.:32:17.

met this violent death. Please call the programme tonight. Michael and

:32:34.:32:37.

but I appeal to people to look at the CCTV around the Ford focus

all on the Crimewatch website. Last month the remaining members

:34:49.:34:52.

of the Hatton Garden gang were found guilty of their roles

:34:53.:34:55.

in the record-breaking heist. We'll speak to the head

:34:56.:35:03.

of the Flying Squad about the latest in their hunt for

:35:04.:35:11.

'Basil' shortly but first, the inside story of how

:35:12.:35:13.

the rest of the gang were caught. It's the biggest burglary in British

:35:14.:35:22.

history. They were career criminals. One last hurrah for them. ?14

:35:23.:35:30.

million of jewellery, gemstones and gold, stolen from the heart of the

:35:31.:35:37.

UK diamond industry. You can compare it with boxers, they retire but then

:35:38.:35:41.

they get an offer to get back in the ring one more time and this was a

:35:42.:35:46.

big prize. They would see themselves at the top end of criminality and

:35:47.:35:50.

the flying squad is at the top end of police investigation. On Tuesday

:35:51.:36:06.

the 7th of April, following the Easter weekend, security guards at

:36:07.:36:10.

the Hatton Garden safe-deposit company arrived for work. What they

:36:11.:36:15.

discovered would trigger a major investigation by the elite Flying

:36:16.:36:20.

Squad. It was a burglary in Hatton Garden, it was going to be

:36:21.:36:25.

high-value so we decided straightaway, we would get down

:36:26.:36:29.

there, assess it and then we will develop it from there. Within a few

:36:30.:36:34.

hours it became apparent it was a serious crime and a job for us. The

:36:35.:36:39.

scale of what the thieves had got away with made headlines around the

:36:40.:36:44.

world. The Flying Squad were in the spotlight. We have got to hit the

:36:45.:36:49.

ground running. A lot of these victims it was clear early on were

:36:50.:36:53.

going to be significantly financially affected by this so

:36:54.:36:58.

straightaway there is a pressure. The vast majority of people who

:36:59.:37:02.

stored property in the vaults were traders in London's jewellery

:37:03.:37:09.

Quarter with much of their wealth tied up in goods. I have been

:37:10.:37:17.

through the door every single day for 45 years. It was quite a big

:37:18.:37:21.

part of my pension which was sitting in there which was now gone. The

:37:22.:37:29.

Hatton Garden investigation was a classic case of cops and robbers.

:37:30.:37:34.

Within the first day we had already brought together a team of officers

:37:35.:37:41.

to trawl CCTV in the area. They painstakingly built up a picture of

:37:42.:37:43.

how the heist happened. The gang were caught on CCTV

:37:44.:37:56.

arriving at around 7pm in this white van. Then, at 9:22pm, a mysterious

:37:57.:38:06.

red haired man gained access to the building. To this day, it is not

:38:07.:38:12.

known exactly how he did it. Once inside, he opened the fire escape,

:38:13.:38:18.

letting the others with their builders' outfits and wheelie bins

:38:19.:38:29.

into the building. The gang then disabled the list, allowing them to

:38:30.:38:33.

access the shaft with a clear drop straight down into the basement. It

:38:34.:38:39.

is thought the two fittest of the gang then scrambled down.

:38:40.:38:50.

They got through other security measures to let the rest of the gang

:38:51.:39:00.

in. And soon, all that was between them and the loot was the vault door

:39:01.:39:08.

and a concrete wall, half a metre thick and reinforced with steel. To

:39:09.:39:14.

access the diamonds, they used a diamond, a specialist diamond tipped

:39:15.:39:18.

high-powered coring drill designed to penetrate concrete and stone.

:39:19.:39:22.

They made a hole 25 centimetres by 45

:39:23.:39:38.

centimetres in the wall, just big enough for a small person to squeeze

:39:39.:39:42.

through but they faced yet another obstacle. The back of the

:39:43.:39:46.

safe-deposit boxes were bolted to the ceiling and floor and were

:39:47.:39:56.

blocking the hole and their way in. The hydraulic ram they have bought

:39:57.:40:01.

to shift them broke. After almost 11 hours they gave up and left at

:40:02.:40:07.

around 8am, empty-handed. To walk away from that prize when you are so

:40:08.:40:13.

close, very difficult. Very difficult indeed. But by the same

:40:14.:40:18.

token, the longer they are in the vault, on the premises, then the

:40:19.:40:22.

chances of getting caught is raised considerably. But the gang broke one

:40:23.:40:30.

of the basic rules of the criminal world, by returning the following

:40:31.:40:39.

night to the scene of the crime. Using a new hydraulic ram, they were

:40:40.:40:43.

able to dislodge the metal cabinets blocking the hole. They were finally

:40:44.:41:01.

in. The hole would have been a tight squeeze. It is thought only the two

:41:02.:41:06.

who had scrambled down the lift shaft, including the red haired man,

:41:07.:41:10.

actually entered the vault. Once inside they forced open and 73

:41:11.:41:18.

safety deposit boxes, filling bags and even wheelie bins with jewels,

:41:19.:41:24.

gold, precious stones and cash. They loaded up their loot and hold it up

:41:25.:41:27.

the stairs, leaving via the fire escape. This is the moment they made

:41:28.:41:38.

their getaway with the incredible ?14 million haul. The Flying Squad

:41:39.:41:45.

had the crooks in action but who were they? Their big break in

:41:46.:41:50.

identifying them would come as a result of the thieves' critical

:41:51.:41:55.

decision to return to the crime scene that second time. That gives

:41:56.:42:03.

us a breakthrough because it allows the CCTV officers to identify on the

:42:04.:42:09.

second night they arrived in a Mercedes earlier. As well as the

:42:10.:42:14.

van, the gang also used this Mercedes, detectives were able to

:42:15.:42:18.

trace it to 74-year-old John Kenny Collins. John Collins has been

:42:19.:42:27.

convicted of robbery on two occasions. Second occasion it was

:42:28.:42:32.

armed robbery on a jewellers. He recced Hatton Garden to check out

:42:33.:42:36.

the premises, who was also the getaway driver. Because John Collins

:42:37.:42:48.

was using his own vehicle, his E200, very distinctive and very few of

:42:49.:42:53.

them on the road with a black roof and black wheels, so even the grainy

:42:54.:42:58.

CCTV that probably normally wouldn't be of a high evidential value

:42:59.:43:03.

identified it and we were able to track that car. You have just got to

:43:04.:43:07.

wait until you have got something that is concrete and you know is a

:43:08.:43:13.

good starting point, which is what is the Mercedes and Collins was, and

:43:14.:43:17.

then you commit your resources down that line. The Flying Squad but

:43:18.:43:22.

Collins under surveillance, he quickly led them to other members of

:43:23.:43:26.

the gang. Covert officers captured him meeting with 76-year-old Brian

:43:27.:43:34.

Reader. He has been described as the organiser, he would see himself as

:43:35.:43:38.

top of the tree in this group. Reader was planning the heist as

:43:39.:43:43.

early as 2012 but didn't return to the vault on that second night.

:43:44.:43:47.

Detectives were watching as they met in cafes and pubs. The group are

:43:48.:43:58.

coming together. It was in our patience game on our part and that

:43:59.:44:04.

paid off when John Collins, Brian Reader, and Terrence Perkins met.

:44:05.:44:11.

67-year-old Terrence Perkins was responsible for the drilling. He has

:44:12.:44:15.

also got form and served 22 years in prison. Perkins and Collins were

:44:16.:44:21.

telling Reader how they got in when they got back, how they were

:44:22.:44:25.

successful in the end. Detectives soon pieced together who the other

:44:26.:44:30.

gang members were. Daniel Jones is again an organised criminal, he is

:44:31.:44:34.

ten years younger. Here's the fitter and that's what he brings to the

:44:35.:44:40.

group. Carl Wood was also part of planning the heist and bear on the

:44:41.:44:43.

first night, but he pulled out on the second day when he is thought to

:44:44.:44:48.

have bottled it. And then there is the red haired man the gang referred

:44:49.:44:57.

to as Basil. A mysterious character, his true identity is still unknown.

:44:58.:45:02.

As detectives identified the gang members, they also plan electronic

:45:03.:45:16.

listening bugs on two of their cars, including Collins' Mercedes. It is a

:45:17.:45:22.

tactic that is used in serious crime investigations and it was very

:45:23.:45:25.

productive on this occasion. We know they were quite excited about the

:45:26.:45:29.

fact they got away with such a large-scale offence and it was

:45:30.:45:32.

unlikely the police would have any idea of who to look for, and they

:45:33.:45:38.

were quite comfortable in the fact they were away scot-free. The men

:45:39.:45:43.

couldn't help boasting, totally unaware the police were listening to

:45:44.:45:47.

every word. The audio recordings of the conversation told us exactly how

:45:48.:45:53.

they have done it, who they had done it with, how they were going to sort

:45:54.:45:58.

out the property, so it was a gold mine of evidence. Six weeks after

:45:59.:46:04.

the heist, members of the gang met in it pub car park in north London

:46:05.:46:09.

to move some of the loot. It would be one thing to arrest the group

:46:10.:46:12.

together but what we wanted was property. This was the moment that

:46:13.:46:19.

three bags containing diamonds, watches and necklaces were shifted

:46:20.:46:25.

from a taxi into Collins' Mercedes. The three banks that have been

:46:26.:46:31.

exchanged behind the pub contained an estimated ?4 million worth of

:46:32.:46:41.

diamonds and gold. With the exchange done, Collins and Jones drove to a

:46:42.:46:45.

nearby property with the Flying Squad on their tail. We had weeks of

:46:46.:46:50.

surveillance showing the principals meeting up. We have the audio

:46:51.:46:54.

recording saying what they had done and how they were going to do it,

:46:55.:46:58.

and eventually we had some property coming out of the woodwork so at

:46:59.:47:03.

that point we have got sufficient there. That was why we made the

:47:04.:47:09.

decision at that point ago in. The police made their move. In

:47:10.:47:14.

coordinated raids with more than 200 officers, they hit 12 addresses in

:47:15.:47:22.

London and Kent. They were surprised, obviously very

:47:23.:47:25.

disappointed. They would still have been no doubt actively in their

:47:26.:47:29.

minds trying to work out how they were going to minimise their

:47:30.:47:33.

criminal responsibility. It is not until they were interviewed and

:47:34.:47:36.

walked through the evidence we had against them that they realised how

:47:37.:47:41.

comprehensive the investigation had been against them and the amount of

:47:42.:47:45.

trouble they were in at that point in time. But they weren't saying

:47:46.:47:54.

much in police interviews. Were you a driller? No comment. Were you the

:47:55.:48:01.

person that deactivated the lift shaft? No comment. The alarm

:48:02.:48:08.

systems? No comment. Was it you that messed up? No comment. It was your

:48:09.:48:19.

role to get through the hole, wasn't it? No comment. Jones and the three

:48:20.:48:30.

other ringleaders - Reader, Collins and Perkins - saw the writing on the

:48:31.:48:39.

wall and confessed. To have spent three years in the planning for this

:48:40.:48:42.

offence to plead before going to trial basically shows and it is

:48:43.:48:45.

rewarding enough to say that we have done the right job and we are

:48:46.:48:48.

starting to do the right thing for the victims. From his cell at

:48:49.:48:54.

Belmarsh prison, Danny Jones offered to give up his stash of loot

:48:55.:48:58.

claiming he wanted to go straight. He said he had hated it at Edmonton

:48:59.:49:04.

Cemetery in north London. Police searched a grave, digging for around

:49:05.:49:09.

two hours, uncovering jewellery and precious stones. A week later they

:49:10.:49:14.

returned, this time taking Jones from his cell. He led them to a

:49:15.:49:20.

different grave. He was unaware police had already discovered the

:49:21.:49:33.

first large hall haul. The Flying Squad had recovered some of the

:49:34.:49:37.

stolen property and they had their four ringleaders. Another three men

:49:38.:49:41.

had also been charged, they pleaded not guilty and went on trial. Last

:49:42.:49:46.

month, the jury delivered its verdict. Kyle Ward and William

:49:47.:49:52.

Lincoln were both convicted for their roles in the burglary and for

:49:53.:50:01.

dealing with the haul. Another man, Hugh Doyle, was found guilty of

:50:02.:50:08.

helping the gang distribute the loot. The guilty men are now serving

:50:09.:50:13.

time, all except the mysterious red haired man, Basil, or whatever his

:50:14.:50:20.

real name is. He seems to have got away with it for now, he is still

:50:21.:50:26.

out there somewhere, along with ?10 million of missing loot.

:50:27.:50:31.

Well, it's an incredible story but it's not quite over yet.

:50:32.:50:36.

The Head of the Flying Squad, Detective Superintendent Craig

:50:37.:50:39.

Turner, is here with the latest on the illusive 'Basil'.

:50:40.:50:46.

He is an intriguing character, he seems to have got them in in the

:50:47.:50:51.

first place. You must be closing in on him by now? I am here to offer

:50:52.:51:04.

?20,000 as a reward for information that can lead to the arrest and

:51:05.:51:08.

conviction of Basil. We think he is wearing a wig and we are not sure if

:51:09.:51:14.

his name is Basil. The group referred to him as that but we don't

:51:15.:51:19.

think that is his true name. He was very elusive to CCTV so he could be

:51:20.:51:24.

local to the area. We are appealing to members of public who may have

:51:25.:51:30.

anything suspicious. He went to real pains to disguise himself, didn't

:51:31.:51:36.

he? Yes, he is carrying the bag on his shoulders and he would have

:51:37.:51:40.

known where the CCTV was and would have known the area. They took ?14

:51:41.:51:45.

million worth of property, you have covered about 4 million but 10

:51:46.:51:48.

million is still missing and these are some of the items you are

:51:49.:51:55.

interested in finding. We have restored ?3.7 million worth of

:51:56.:51:57.

jewellery back to victims and we will take our time to make sure they

:51:58.:52:02.

get back to the rightful owners. I would appeal to members of the

:52:03.:52:07.

public and people involved in the jewellery industry. If they are ever

:52:08.:52:12.

offered items of jewellery in suspicious circumstances to contact

:52:13.:52:19.

the incident room. If you think you can help the Flying Squad get their

:52:20.:52:22.

man, get in touch using the numbers on screen.

:52:23.:52:27.

Also, if you've been a victim of any crime you may want to speak

:52:28.:52:30.

Time now to update you on some previous cases and thanks to you,

:52:31.:52:37.

we have some really fantastic results this month.

:52:38.:52:40.

Starting with a horrific rape we featured in October's programme

:52:41.:52:43.

when a 21-year-old woman was attacked in the Toxteth

:52:44.:52:45.

Following the appealed this man was jailed for ten years with five years

:52:46.:53:08.

on licence. That was an incredible experience for the whole team. In

:53:09.:53:11.

the reconstruction the victim wanted to make sure that he did not do that

:53:12.:53:19.

again, and we were able to tell the victim that we found the offender

:53:20.:53:22.

and we could get him off the streets.

:53:23.:53:23.

In March we asked for your help in finding

:53:24.:53:25.

Detectives wanted to question him after an 89 year old man

:53:26.:53:29.

was attacked and robbed on his own driveway.

:53:30.:53:37.

At the time we couldn't show the victim - Mr Butlin's injuries

:53:38.:53:40.

for legal reasons, but we can now reveal this...

:53:41.:53:43.

A shocking image of an elderly man who spent several days in intensive

:53:44.:53:51.

care. It beggars belief. As a direct result this man was jailed for 18

:53:52.:53:57.
