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. | |

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 | :29:13. | :29:21. | |
drawers and search cupboards. Totally unaware that they are being | :29:22. | :29:29. | |
caught on camera. 47 watches including these were later found to | :29:30. | :29:35. | |
be missing. They were worth an estimated ?500,000. Let's call time | :29:36. | :29:42. | |
on these watch thieves. Get in touch if you who they are. | :29:43. | :29:45. | |
You can take another look at all of tonight's faces and CCTV | :29:46. | :29:48. | |
Call and text the numbers on screen if you can help. | :29:49. | :29:54. | |
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 | :31:40. | :31:44. | |
have links to Tunbridge Wells and the Cornwall area. He was busking on | :31:45. | :31:50. | |
the streets and living by busking. What you would like is to have a | :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 | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
his colleagues are standing by. Please get in touch using the | :32:21. | :32:26. | |
numbers on your screen. Let's catch up on developments since we have | :32:27. | :32:33. | |
been on air. What is the latest? We have had interesting calls coming in | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
but I appeal to people to look at the CCTV around the Ford focus | :32:38. | :32:43. | |
vehicles and give us information. This CCTV is crucial. It is crucial | :32:44. | :32:48. | |
to identify who was in those cars, and what they were doing there on | :32:49. | :32:52. | |
the night. I would appeal for people to come forward. Please keep your | :32:53. | :33:04. | |
calls coming in. We have the inside story of how the flying squad | :33:05. | :33:07. | |
cracked the UK's biggest ever burglary. They would see themselves | :33:08. | :33:16. | |
at the top end of criminality. The flying squad is at the top end of | :33:17. | :33:18. | |
police investigation. More wanted faces first starting | :33:19. | :33:19. | |
with Alexander Ighodalo. He failed to turn up in court | :33:20. | :33:23. | |
to answer fraud and money laundering charges after a major international | :33:24. | :33:28. | |
company was conned into paying Originally from Nigeria, | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
the 36 year old has links Police think he may be working | :33:34. | :33:36. | |
as a security guard. Number 6 tonight is | :33:37. | :33:40. | |
32-year-old Miles Phillips. He's wanted for questioning | :33:41. | :33:46. | |
by police in Bristol in relation Phillips has a scar on his left | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
finger and speaks with He's known to be violent, | :33:50. | :33:53. | |
so don't approach - just dial 999 if you | :33:54. | :33:57. | |
know where he is. Next up is Stephen Healy, | :33:58. | :33:59. | |
although you may know him as Michael He was jailed for 4 years | :34:00. | :34:02. | |
for burglary in 2012 and released But he's failed to stick | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
to the terms of his release Healy is 39 and has links | :34:07. | :34:09. | |
to Ireland, south London and Kent. Finally tonight is Mark Edward | :34:10. | :34:17. | |
Fitton, although he often uses Detectives want to question him | :34:18. | :34:19. | |
in connection with almost 100 burglaries across | :34:20. | :34:23. | |
Cheshire and Lancashire. Fitton was 45 last week and has | :34:24. | :34:32. | |
tattoos of a flower with the name Lewis Mark on his right arm along | :34:33. | :34:35. | |
with two dice and a crest. He has family and friends in Oldham | :34:36. | :34:38. | |
and over in Ireland and is also known to be violent so just dial | :34:39. | :34:41. | |
999 if you spot him. If you know where any of the other | :34:42. | :34:44. | |
faces are then get in touch And of course they're | :34:45. | :34:48. | |
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. | |
years. The judge praised the work of Crimewatch and the police in | :53:58. | :54:02. | |
bringing him to justice. The victim has since died but his family wanted | :54:03. | :54:08. | |
to thank the Crimewatch viewer who called in. Thank you, you have made | :54:09. | :54:14. | |
such a difference. You are doing a fabulous thing will stop keep doing | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
that and help, however little you think you can. Just ring in. With | :54:20. | :54:31. | |
whatever information you have got. We featured this convicted | :54:32. | :54:35. | |
paedophile who was wanted back in prison after being released. One of | :54:36. | :54:39. | |
his victims contacted police for the first time. As a result he was found | :54:40. | :54:44. | |
guilty of four historic offences and jailed for ten years. | :54:45. | :54:49. | |
This chilling case back in May after a woman was raped | :54:50. | :54:52. | |
This footage shows the attacker following her shortly beforehand. | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
During the ordeal, he demanded her bank card and pin number | :54:57. | :55:00. | |
and was caught on CCTV using a cash machine a short time later. | :55:01. | :55:08. | |
This man was jailed for 15 years after pleading guilty to two counts | :55:09. | :55:15. | |
of rape, two counts of robbery and one of theft. You may member this | :55:16. | :55:22. | |
CCTV of a disabled pensioner being punched and robbed as he made his | :55:23. | :55:27. | |
way home in Doncaster town centre. This 34-year-old man was jailed for | :55:28. | :55:33. | |
three years and four months for that vicious robbery. | :55:34. | :55:34. | |
In October we asked for your help to find this man who launched | :55:35. | :55:37. | |
a vicious attack on a train guard in Clapham in South London | :55:38. | :55:40. | |
Well, as a direct result of your calls 24 year | :55:41. | :55:47. | |
old Mohammed Essad from Ladbroke Grove has been given a 12 | :55:48. | :55:49. | |
month suspended sentence and ordered to pay compensation. | :55:50. | :55:54. | |
The court heard he'd sent a vile, racist text after the attack, | :55:55. | :55:56. | |
boasting he'd split someone's head open. | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
Finally, yet more proof, if it were needed, that you can't | :56:01. | :56:03. | |
Glenn Madden was on April's show wanted for money laundering | :56:04. | :56:06. | |
Well, he was spotted by police officers in Amsterdam. | :56:07. | :56:10. | |
And his arrest was caught on camera as you can see here. | :56:11. | :56:17. | |
Madden was sent back to the UK and jailed for 5 years. | :56:18. | :56:20. | |
