:00:26. > :00:36.later he was violently robbed and lost a lot. Help us catch this
:00:36. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :00:55.Good morning. Welcome to the programme that help solving crimes
:00:55. > :01:00.affecting all of us. So far you have given us some great Leeds, but
:01:00. > :01:05.we still need your calls. Coming up today: The Church vandalised by
:01:05. > :01:09.burglars who stole �15,000 worth of silver.
:01:09. > :01:15.We are on board with the helicops, we have exclusive access to the
:01:15. > :01:19.police I in the sky. It started with a protest about a
:01:19. > :01:23.new supermarket, but turned into a riot. Officers want to catch the
:01:23. > :01:28.vandals who caused �100,000 worth of damage.
:01:28. > :01:34.We are in Wales working with the Gwent and South Wales forces. They
:01:34. > :01:42.police almost two thirds of the country's population. We are at
:01:42. > :01:46.Majar al-Kabir overlooking Swansea Bay. Miriam O'Reilly is there. --
:01:46. > :01:53.Majar al-Kabir. A I am in the biggest area of sand
:01:53. > :01:57.dunes in the UK. This is also the industrial heart of South Wales.
:01:57. > :02:03.Just over there is the massive port Talbot steelworks and beyond that,
:02:03. > :02:08.Swansea. It is the second largest city and basking in the glory of
:02:08. > :02:13.achieving premier-league football status. Whitney is a Louise Elliott
:02:13. > :02:18.from BBC Wales. We are here for Ripley's community
:02:18. > :02:22.day and the star attraction is up there. It is due to land any moment.
:02:22. > :02:27.During the course of the programme we will be finding out about the
:02:27. > :02:31.helicopter team. Let's get on with the first appeal. A meticulously
:02:31. > :02:40.planned it on a corner shop which allow violent robbers to get away
:02:40. > :02:44.with an incredible �10,000 in cash. Can you help us track them down?
:02:45. > :02:49.It did not even occur to me that something like this would happen.
:02:49. > :02:54.All of the time I just wanted to keep the bags safe. A headed not
:02:54. > :03:04.realise my life was at risk. We are looking at a premeditated attack.
:03:04. > :03:07.
:03:07. > :03:14.It was the weekend everybody had their eyes on William and Kate and
:03:14. > :03:18.across Britain people were enjoying sunshine and street parties. In the
:03:18. > :03:24.South Wales valleys, the cash register had been ringing at the
:03:24. > :03:30.local corner shop. By Tuesday, the owner, Ruki Paul had just one main
:03:30. > :03:36.concern, getting the cash to the bank. Because the wedding was on
:03:36. > :03:42.the Friday, there was an extra bank holiday. We were a lot busier, even
:03:42. > :03:47.the Monday which was also the bank holiday. When I started work on the
:03:47. > :03:52.Tuesday, we had a lot of work to do. Following two bank holidays back-
:03:52. > :04:01.to-back, they had taken nearly �10,000 in cash. The money we were
:04:01. > :04:06.counting was quite a large quantity. It was unusually high. Shop worker
:04:06. > :04:16.Philip Bridgend and usually does the bank runs. He put the money
:04:16. > :04:19.into a rucksack, the same one he always used to carry the cash. --
:04:19. > :04:25.Philip Bridgend Rum. He followed his normal routine, but
:04:25. > :04:28.it was a routine others have become familiar with. Defenders had cased
:04:28. > :04:38.out the joint. They had made themselves aware of the staff's
:04:38. > :04:38.
:04:38. > :04:43.movements. I saw the front of the car. There is a wall, so you cannot
:04:43. > :04:51.see any body behind the wall. was ambushed in a highly organised
:04:51. > :04:59.attack. Bravely, he fought back, but the odds were about to turn
:04:59. > :05:04.against him. Or all of the time I just wanted to keep the back safe.
:05:04. > :05:09.Later we will be hearing how brave he was and did his best to give the
:05:09. > :05:13.police are vital descriptions and number plate details. And now back
:05:13. > :05:19.to the wanted faces. Take a look at this latest batch of
:05:19. > :05:23.faces the police in need your help to track down. David Atkins, a
:05:23. > :05:28.happy birthday to him, he is 45 tomorrow. Let's put him back behind
:05:28. > :05:32.bars. He was given a three-year sentence for burglary and theft in
:05:32. > :05:36.2008 and released early on licence, but failed to keep to the
:05:36. > :05:41.conditions of his release. He was born in London and still has
:05:41. > :05:46.contacts there, but police believe he could be anywhere in the UK.
:05:46. > :05:50.Police want your help to find Vasile Mihai. He is wanted in
:05:50. > :05:54.connection with the robbery in Derbyshire in February 2009.
:05:54. > :05:57.Originally from Romania he has contacts in the Erdington area of
:05:57. > :06:04.Birmingham. Do you know where he is now?
:06:04. > :06:08.The next phase is a Lee Wescott and is wanted in connection with the
:06:08. > :06:11.robbery in July 2010. He is known to have family in London, Essex and
:06:12. > :06:15.Cambridge. Have you seen him recently?
:06:15. > :06:21.This is Siman Singh, a student from India wanted by detectives in
:06:21. > :06:24.London involving a scam when he posed as a landlord. He used to go
:06:24. > :06:34.to Brunel University in London but is from Hull.
:06:34. > :06:40.
:06:40. > :06:48.The key recognise any of these All of the wanted faces from the
:06:48. > :06:53.series are also on the website. There is a small but very excited
:06:53. > :07:00.crowd waiting for the helicopter to land. I am wondering if I give it a
:07:00. > :07:02.wave as well, they might be able to see me. They are part of the police
:07:02. > :07:07.community day for the people who live near this nature reserve. Over
:07:07. > :07:15.the past few weeks Crimewatch roadshow has been given exclusive
:07:15. > :07:17.access to the helicopter team. Take a look at this. He this is the
:07:17. > :07:21.helicopter that covers South Wales and went.
:07:21. > :07:25.I am surrounded by more than �1 million worth of high-tech
:07:25. > :07:35.equipment. The helicops patrol the skies around the clock providing
:07:35. > :07:59.
:07:59. > :08:08.crucial support for officers on the What a fantastic bits of machinery?
:08:08. > :08:15.A marvellous bit of kit. What we have got is a Eurocopter EC135T2
:08:15. > :08:18.comedy give it its full title. This is the main piece of equipment, it
:08:18. > :08:23.is the infra-red camera, a high- definition camera system and can
:08:23. > :08:27.Danes the Zoom camera, I fixed focal length in colour, a thermal
:08:27. > :08:32.image camera. The camera position is irrelevant to the position of
:08:32. > :08:37.the aircraft, it rotates. Adrian piece of kit and without a doubt,
:08:37. > :08:41.it is the mainstay of what the aircraft is used for. Most calls
:08:41. > :08:45.eventually lead to the use of the camera system. The accuracy of the
:08:45. > :08:50.camera has become invaluable in providing concrete evidence that
:08:51. > :08:54.stands up in court. Its ability to pick up details like number plates
:08:54. > :09:02.and facial features, means any criminal court on his camera does
:09:02. > :09:11.not stand much chance in front of a judge. It sounds like a criminal's
:09:11. > :09:15.nightmare? It certainly is. Normally, the secondary police
:09:15. > :09:20.observer would sit here and operate the navigational systems. The
:09:20. > :09:23.address can be typed in and by zooming into that location the
:09:23. > :09:28.mapping system goes down to street level. If the camera is looking at
:09:28. > :09:32.something, maybe a person in an isolated location it will show up
:09:32. > :09:37.on the map by zooming in and you can find out the grid references to
:09:37. > :09:42.give to other rescue agencies if we were unable to land. The thermal
:09:42. > :09:47.imaging capabilities can mean the difference between life and death.
:09:47. > :09:51.It was a race against time to reach this man, alone in a freezing
:09:51. > :09:55.Cardiff graveyard and thought to be unconscious. Every second counts
:09:55. > :10:00.and it could have taken hours for the officers on the ground to
:10:00. > :10:07.search the area. But, within 50 seconds of the helicopter arriving
:10:07. > :10:14.they were guided to the exact locations. Able to travel at nearly
:10:14. > :10:21.one hand and 60 mph, it can offer birds like back up for high-speed
:10:21. > :10:26.pursuits. -- 160 mph. Earlier this year the helicopter was
:10:26. > :10:36.instrumental in a dramatic arrest. This the van is carrying tens of
:10:36. > :10:40.thousands of pounds worth of heroin into Swansea. But the manoeuvre
:10:40. > :10:49.called a t-pack means the drugs are going nowhere and the driver is
:10:49. > :10:55.going to prison. He was sent down for five years. But high-speed car
:10:55. > :11:01.chases are just one part of its duties. A lot of their time is
:11:01. > :11:05.spent searching for missing people. We have his eye in the sky which is
:11:05. > :11:09.fantastic. They can go to the mountainous terrain is which form
:11:09. > :11:13.part of the landscape to search for people, for personal reasons
:11:13. > :11:17.sometimes go missing, get lost or just want to get away from things.
:11:17. > :11:23.We're very concerned about their on ability and safety. We could not
:11:23. > :11:29.get the people and the police dogs out on the terrain to search for
:11:29. > :11:39.people who. This seems to be an interesting and rewarding part of
:11:39. > :11:39.
:11:39. > :11:44.the service? Very much so, it is one of the jobs, when you get a
:11:44. > :11:48.find that no one would have found with and two, it is extremely
:11:48. > :11:52.rewarding. Many times we have found people in a remote location in
:11:52. > :12:00.horrific weather conditions, and know it you have not got there they
:12:00. > :12:04.would have died. The inspector who keeps an eye on the eye in the sky
:12:04. > :12:14.is Inspector Gary Smart. It would be amazing if we could ask the
:12:14. > :12:20.helicopter to come and Land for us live on the show? Can we do that?
:12:20. > :12:25.You are clear it to land please. Hopefully we will watch them come
:12:25. > :12:30.in and land. A few moments ago I waved up to the live cameras, can
:12:30. > :12:35.you explain how it works? There is a transmitter on the aircraft that
:12:35. > :12:38.transmits a coded signal to boxes on the ground. We are using a
:12:38. > :12:44.mobile box today but we have transceivers on aerials across the
:12:44. > :12:47.area. We can transmit live pictures down to the control rooms so they
:12:47. > :12:51.can make decisions on what they need to do in policing incidents.
:12:51. > :12:56.That is how the commanders use them? It is almost like giving them
:12:56. > :13:00.the bird's eye view the crew has got? That is what we try to do, and
:13:00. > :13:07.they can keep everybody safe on what about the thermal imaging
:13:07. > :13:13.switch? Thermal image on a camera we have got is extremely good. Very
:13:13. > :13:18.detailed and can pick up Minutes amount of heat. When I was having a
:13:18. > :13:23.look around, it was incredible. I know we live in a high-tech world,
:13:24. > :13:29.but equipment is something else? is top of the range, and the people
:13:29. > :13:34.of this area should be reassured we have some of the best it in the UK
:13:34. > :13:38.of finding people when we need to. Here she is. What are the crew
:13:38. > :13:44.doing now? They're looking for any hazards on the ground, anything
:13:44. > :13:49.that might cause a problem. The minute the pilot senses anything is
:13:49. > :13:56.wrong, he will go around and then try to land. But it looks good on
:13:56. > :14:02.this occasion. Just coming down. I suppose it is quite sandy here and
:14:02. > :14:07.it will kick up? Hopefully we won't get a lot of Sam, I am worried
:14:07. > :14:12.about your coat! It gets a bit noisy when it a Lambs. We don't
:14:12. > :14:22.operate here normally, which is thankful because we would get lots
:14:22. > :14:27.
:14:27. > :14:32.of complaints. A beautiful landing. Still to come: Churches targeted
:14:32. > :14:36.for their priceless artefacts, can you help us find the burglars? The
:14:36. > :14:42.supermarket opening that turned into a riot, police want your help
:14:42. > :14:49.to track down the troublemakers. And robbed of almost �10,000, can
:14:49. > :14:54.you help us catch the attackers who struck in a CCTV blind-spot?
:14:54. > :14:58.First, not everyone is happy there are so many CCTV cameras around the
:14:58. > :15:03.place, particularly people caught committing crime. Take a look at
:15:03. > :15:07.this lot. These pictures from January this year are shocking.
:15:07. > :15:10.This man fled into a shop in Poplar, east London, to escape three men
:15:10. > :15:15.who were chasing him. They pursued him into the shop and started to
:15:15. > :15:19.attack him. One even runs a bottle and smashes it over the head of the
:15:19. > :15:29.victim as the three set about him. He was left badly shaken with flesh
:15:29. > :15:30.
:15:30. > :15:34.wounds. Help the police catch these Take a close look at this man in
:15:34. > :15:37.the baseball cap. In September last year, he walked into a store in
:15:37. > :15:41.Oldham and threatened a till girl with a knife. Before we can escape,
:15:41. > :15:46.a store manager grabbed him and there was a scuffle right in front
:15:46. > :15:49.of the CCTV camera. He left the store empty-handed, but he
:15:49. > :15:56.terrified the start. Let's make sure he cannot do this to anyone
:15:56. > :15:59.else. Shopping! Late night on a tram in central
:15:59. > :16:02.Manchester this March, this male passenger is about to get a wake-up
:16:02. > :16:07.call. He tells the woman who has just got on that she is not allowed
:16:07. > :16:11.to bring bikes on to the tram. Big mistake! She tells him to mind his
:16:11. > :16:15.own business and becomes aggressive. She swears at him and presses her
:16:15. > :16:20.forehead against his. He gets her to back off and eventually leaves
:16:20. > :16:25.the tram. But she is not finished. The driver asked said to get off,
:16:25. > :16:35.but then she is at it again, punching him several times. Help us
:16:35. > :16:35.
:16:35. > :16:45.catch this cranky commuter. Get in If you know anything about those
:16:45. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :16:54.incidents, the number to call is on You can also be Mall us. Now, for
:16:54. > :16:56.our next case, we are heading back into the Gwent police force area
:16:56. > :17:05.and the town of Monmouth, where irreplaceable items are stolen from
:17:05. > :17:09.It is the middle of the night in the church of St Mary's Priory in
:17:09. > :17:19.Monmouth. We all tend to think of churches as places of these, but
:17:19. > :17:23.
:17:23. > :17:28.sometimes the House of God falls It is a place of worship. It is a
:17:28. > :17:38.place for a deepening awareness of spirituality, but it is also a
:17:38. > :17:41.
:17:41. > :17:51.I have been here all my life, and I am 85 years old. My wife and I were
:17:51. > :17:56.We are, in a church like this, a haven, an oasis of peace. We are
:17:56. > :18:05.not immune from the difficulties, the pains, the violence, the
:18:05. > :18:11.aggression of the world around us. Denied that the burglary actually
:18:11. > :18:17.happened, -- the night that the burglary actually happened, they
:18:17. > :18:23.kicked the door in, or they used some kind of employment on the loch.
:18:23. > :18:27.-- implement on the loch. Inside, the thieves found a treasure trove
:18:27. > :18:31.of irreplaceable church artefacts. It is very difficult to put a value
:18:31. > :18:35.on these items, but it has been estimated that up to �15,000 to
:18:35. > :18:39.replace. It is not just about financial value. These artifacts
:18:39. > :18:45.play a central role in church services and are treasured for
:18:46. > :18:52.their historical significance. was actually stolen was the working
:18:52. > :18:57.kit of an Anglican church such as this one, about 10 pieces of silver
:18:58. > :19:03.was stolen. They were mainly chalices and ciboriums from the
:19:03. > :19:09.19th century and the early 20th century. But then, having got what
:19:09. > :19:17.they wanted, these criminals showed just how heartless they could be.
:19:17. > :19:27.Our little children's chapel area had been kicked around. That was an
:19:27. > :19:33.
:19:33. > :19:36.act of just gratuitous violence, So where do the police think the
:19:37. > :19:41.criminals came from? Three months after the burglary, one ornament
:19:41. > :19:45.was retrieved in the nearby Vauxhall Fields, suggesting there
:19:45. > :19:49.was no getaway car and the thieves were local. It is such a small area.
:19:49. > :19:55.We believe that it was somebody local and was involved in his
:19:55. > :20:00.burglary, and again we ask anyone who knows anything or has heard too
:20:00. > :20:04.committed the burglary to contact us. But the fear is these artifacts
:20:04. > :20:08.may have been melted down for scrap by thieves more concerned with
:20:08. > :20:14.their monetary rather than their spiritual value. We may never get
:20:14. > :20:18.these things back again. It would be nice to think that out Ben
:20:19. > :20:28.somewhere are these objects and that one day they could be restored
:20:29. > :20:30.
:20:30. > :20:35.to their rightful place. -- out So Sergeant Gary Carlisle and is
:20:35. > :20:39.looking into this case. Kind of careless of the thieves to drop one
:20:39. > :20:42.of those items, but what is your hunch on what has happened to them?
:20:42. > :20:46.We have had examples of where they have been sold on the second-hand
:20:46. > :20:50.market, but also where they have been used on the scrap-metal market.
:20:51. > :20:55.Gwent police have a false priority dealing with this. They deal with
:20:55. > :20:59.Met of that. As a result of that operation we have had 80 people
:20:59. > :21:04.charged since April of this year. Have they been other burglaries in
:21:04. > :21:09.churches in Gwent? There have been, unfortunately, but crime overall in
:21:09. > :21:13.Brent is down. We have got local policing units in the community
:21:13. > :21:17.offering reassurance, ensuring that we are gathering intelligence and
:21:17. > :21:21.offering crime-prevention advice etcetera. People watching the show
:21:21. > :21:25.are vital for you now. Yes, I would ask that any member of the public
:21:25. > :21:29.who has absolutely any information in relation to this, anyone who has
:21:29. > :21:34.seen these articles, anyone who has been offered them for sale. They
:21:34. > :21:40.are distinctive. If you have information, contact us. We can
:21:40. > :21:43.bring these offenders to justice. Alice Farren-Bradley is from the
:21:43. > :21:47.Art Loss Register. Thank you for joining us. Are these kinds of that
:21:47. > :21:50.common these days? They seem to be increasing. We are getting more
:21:50. > :21:55.objects taken from religious churches and places of worship
:21:55. > :21:59.being reported to us as stolen. there a market for these things?
:21:59. > :22:04.is limited and it is not legitimate. These pieces are registered on our
:22:04. > :22:10.database, so they cannot be sold on the open market, and all the major
:22:10. > :22:14.auction houses would not take them. Such beautiful artefact. Terry
:22:14. > :22:17.mention that they might have been melted down. The you agree? There
:22:17. > :22:22.is a fear that they might at been for their intrinsic scrap-metal
:22:22. > :22:26.value. But they would be worth more to a specialist dealer, but the
:22:26. > :22:31.market is limited. It is not just silverware. All kinds of things are
:22:31. > :22:36.going from churches. Very sad indeed. Thank you for joining us.

:23:43. > :23:47.decides how we use the helicopter and they work the radio systems and
:23:47. > :23:52.navigate. It is very much teamwork, we work as a team to produce good
:23:52. > :23:59.policing results. There is a piece of kit around here I want to take a
:23:59. > :24:06.look at. We have not mentioned this before. This is for night-time fine.
:24:06. > :24:09.It is actually for searching at night time. Why is it so special?
:24:09. > :24:13.It is 13 million Campbell Watts of par. It can illuminate a football
:24:14. > :24:19.pitch or go down to a very narrow beam. It can set fire to the grass
:24:19. > :24:23.if we use it too low. Two nights ago we had a person is in on a
:24:23. > :24:26.mountain side, we located him with the thermal camera, then called an
:24:26. > :24:31.assistance by eliminating the person. A successful result. So he
:24:31. > :24:35.was able to be led out of their very safely. Excellent bit of kit,
:24:35. > :24:39.as is the whole helicopter. We are delighted. Thank you so much for
:24:39. > :24:44.coming. I know there are some little ones who want to have a look
:24:44. > :24:48.around, so we will move out of the way. Back to you.
:24:48. > :24:51.A supermarket chain moving into a high street can be controversial,
:24:51. > :24:55.as proved to be the case in the Stokes Croft area of Bristol when a
:24:55. > :24:59.Tesco opened in April. Police learned of a possible attack by
:24:59. > :25:03.protesters and raided a nearby flat in search of petrol bombs. Their
:25:03. > :25:06.actions triggered a night of violence. Will White from Avon and
:25:06. > :25:11.Somerset Police, you are looking into this public disorder. Did you
:25:11. > :25:15.get your tactics right? We had evidence that petrol bombs were
:25:15. > :25:19.being prepared on a squat opposite. Threats were being made to Tesco
:25:20. > :25:24.and to the local community. We have to address that immediately. We did
:25:24. > :25:27.so, but a crowd gathered and became hostile and aggressive towards the
:25:28. > :25:32.police. We dealt with that in the way that the public would expect us
:25:32. > :25:36.to, using tactics we normally do in those situations. The disorder
:25:36. > :25:39.became serious, and we are looking at any lessons we can learn. It is
:25:40. > :25:43.not illegal to have a peaceful protest, but a lot of these people
:25:43. > :25:47.were far from that, and you made a number of arrests at the time and
:25:47. > :25:51.since. A lot of people committed very serious offences during those
:25:51. > :25:56.evenings. 46 officers were injured and there was substantial damage to
:25:56. > :25:59.a local property. We have arrested 67 people, and 32 have been charged
:25:59. > :26:04.or cautioned, including one man who has received a two-and-a-half-year
:26:04. > :26:08.prison sentence. We have still got outstanding offenders and Winnie
:26:08. > :26:12.the public's help to bring them to justice. You have got three in
:26:13. > :26:16.particular that we are going to look at today. This person throws a
:26:16. > :26:20.number of items at the police lines. He has also seen to damage the
:26:20. > :26:27.front of Tesco. He was also involved in looting. He has got a
:26:27. > :26:33.distinctive T-shirts. He is wanted for violent disorder and burglary.
:26:33. > :26:38.The next one, good stills there. This person is throwing bricks and
:26:38. > :26:43.other items at the police. We have also got some good CCTV footage of
:26:43. > :26:49.him kicking the front of Tesco repeatedly. His T-shirts is a
:26:49. > :26:55.swoosh take being held by a fist, very unusual. Vet looked at the
:26:55. > :26:59.third one we have got. -- let's look. This man is taking items from
:26:59. > :27:05.around the cigarette display area in Tesco. You get a good shot of
:27:05. > :27:09.him here, a great still on the website. He is wanted for burglary.
:27:09. > :27:15.And all these skills are on the website if people have information.
:27:15. > :27:19.-- stills. That is our requests today. If you can go to the website
:27:19. > :27:25.and see the stills, see if you can help by identifying them. Hopefully
:27:25. > :27:28.people can do just that. Thank you for joining us. If you know anyone
:27:28. > :27:35.that is on there, please get in touch. The numbers are on your
:27:35. > :27:39.screen. You can remain anonymous if Time for a quick update and how we
:27:39. > :27:42.are progressing with our appeals. In the first week, we broadcast an
:27:42. > :27:47.appeal about a Metropolitan Police operation to track down suspects
:27:47. > :27:50.who took part in four days of riots which crippled London in 2010 and
:27:50. > :27:55.in March this year. As a result of our RPO, a suspect has been
:27:55. > :27:59.arrested and charged with violent disorder. -- Appeal. We have had a
:27:59. > :28:03.number of calls on a theft we featured yesterday. One thief kept
:28:03. > :28:07.the victim busy by asking for directions while the other crept
:28:07. > :28:12.into her car and stole a car. Many callers believe they have been
:28:13. > :28:16.victims of similar crimes. One of our viewers has called in with a
:28:16. > :28:19.possible location for Ronald Grimes. He was featured on yesterday's show.
:28:19. > :28:23.He is wanted for failing to keep to the conditions of his release from
:28:24. > :28:28.jail. Police have described our information as a strong leader and
:28:28. > :28:32.are investigating. For now, back to Louise at Kenfig nature reserve.
:28:32. > :28:37.In many ways, this is not your typical nature reserve, because we
:28:37. > :28:40.have got the M4 really close by, and heavy industry, the Port Talbot
:28:40. > :28:44.steelworks in the near distance. But for the people who use this
:28:44. > :28:48.place, it is very precious indeed. They come walking, we have seen
:28:48. > :28:53.lots of people out here in the glorious sunshine this morning. But
:28:53. > :29:01.of course not everyone treats his place as they should. Sergeant Mike
:29:01. > :29:10.Davies, what type of Challenger du Fay's here? -- challenges do you
:29:10. > :29:15.We suffer from off-road bikes who come down on to the sand dunes
:29:15. > :29:20.illegally. They are damaging the plant life. They are causing damage
:29:20. > :29:24.to the gates and fencing that is put up to keep them out of the
:29:24. > :29:27.nature reserve. We have seen success in dealing with that. We
:29:27. > :29:31.suffer from the normal type of antisocial behaviour like dog
:29:31. > :29:35.fouling, littering and people leaving barbecues in the area and
:29:35. > :29:40.litter. We get Thunderball and missing people who venture onto the
:29:40. > :29:46.sand dunes and we have to locate them. -- vulnerable. We have just
:29:46. > :29:50.seen the bikes going past us, they are invaluable? They are community
:29:50. > :29:54.support officers and they have access to these bikes which have
:29:55. > :29:58.been funded locally. They are fantastic for getting about on the
:29:58. > :30:03.sand dunes and it keeps them fit. Do you ever get on the bikes as
:30:03. > :30:08.well? He has, but we have a 4x4 vehicle for police officers used
:30:08. > :30:13.and it is invaluable for getting to most places. What a beautiful
:30:13. > :30:17.office you have, but it must be frustrating people do not treat it
:30:17. > :30:21.like they should? Absolutely, I like to see people enjoying
:30:21. > :30:25.themselves but people do leave litter and do not clean up after
:30:25. > :30:31.their dogs, and they use these off- road bikes which damage the
:30:31. > :30:36.environment. But we are having success in dealing with it.
:30:36. > :30:41.Let us know if you know anything about these crimes picked up on
:30:41. > :30:45.crime -- camera. These two are planning on milking
:30:45. > :30:52.the highest scrap-metal prices. They raided the back of this garage
:30:52. > :30:58.in Wapping in London in January this year and salt -- stall these
:30:58. > :31:04.cages. They had the nerve to load them into the white van but out of
:31:04. > :31:09.sight of the CCTV cameras. Do you recognise them?
:31:09. > :31:13.This a mother has some serious anger issues. Here she is using a
:31:13. > :31:20.cash point outsider Barclays Bank in Kilburn High Road in London in
:31:20. > :31:25.February. ASDA Woman approaches, things changed. Some angry words
:31:25. > :31:31.are exchanged and the woman grabs of the mother by the throat and
:31:31. > :31:35.pushed her to the floor. They casually walk into the bank as if
:31:35. > :31:40.nothing happened. But as they're leave they encounter the victim and
:31:40. > :31:45.give her another shove. Eynesbury in Wiltshire in April,
:31:45. > :31:49.this man is using a Barclays cashpoint machine apparently quite
:31:49. > :31:55.easily. A few minutes later and these two come along. After they
:31:55. > :32:00.leave, there is a problem. The next customer goes to withdraw his cash,
:32:00. > :32:04.but the machine has stopped working. As he struggles he discovers the
:32:04. > :32:09.cause of his frustration and the device comes away in his hand that
:32:09. > :32:13.has been stopping his cash coming out. Police would like to know what
:32:13. > :32:19.these two were up two which left the rest of the customers in a
:32:19. > :32:29.sticky situation. If you know anything, the number to
:32:29. > :32:39.
:32:39. > :32:45.There were 2 million shoplifting offences last year and I am meeting
:32:45. > :32:49.two people who are making an effort to do something about it. Andy
:32:49. > :32:56.Pemberton works for a sport retailer and Charles Donoghue
:32:56. > :33:02.received a reprimand when he was 13. I was making my way to school and I
:33:02. > :33:07.stopped in a local shop and I saw a couple of lads shoplifting. They
:33:07. > :33:12.asked me to join in so I did. I stole a Dairy Milk bar, fruit
:33:12. > :33:16.pastels and I was arrested. sounds comical, but it is not funny.
:33:16. > :33:19.You've got arrested and taken to the police station, interviewed,
:33:19. > :33:24.photographs and now you have his reprimand against your name for the
:33:24. > :33:28.rest of your life? It is quite embarrassing, especially for jobs
:33:28. > :33:32.because you have to tell them you have a reprimand. If they ask, you
:33:32. > :33:38.have to admit it. But you are making it a positive, helping
:33:38. > :33:44.youngsters? I have been working with safer Portsmouth Partnership
:33:44. > :33:49.and learning in San we have created a DVD aimed at 13-15 year olds
:33:49. > :33:59.about shoplifting. In Portsmouth, were the DVD has been shown,
:33:59. > :34:03.shoplifting in that age group has dropped by 70%. Good for you. You
:34:03. > :34:09.work for a sport retailer and it is not a victimless crime. A lot of
:34:09. > :34:13.shoplifting happens in places like way you work? It impacts on the
:34:13. > :34:18.profits of every company concerned. You are doing a lot about it and
:34:18. > :34:22.you had CCTV about a gang. Tell us more? We have called them the
:34:22. > :34:27.Highwaymen because of the extensive travel they do throughout the south
:34:27. > :34:31.Midlands and the South of England. They target the several other
:34:31. > :34:37.retailers and they target football replica which is easy sold on.
:34:37. > :34:42.are quite distinctive. You have not stereotypes your average shoplifter,
:34:42. > :34:48.some of them are all there in suits and the tide. One generally were as
:34:48. > :34:53.a flat cap. They are distinctive in the way they operate. They have
:34:53. > :34:55.stolen thousands of pounds of stuff over the past 12 months? We have
:34:55. > :35:02.had sightings of them from Worcester down to Bournemouth over
:35:02. > :35:07.the last 12 to 14 months. They need to be stopped. Charles I think you
:35:07. > :35:12.are one Criminal I think we can forgive on this occasion.
:35:12. > :35:20.Not so forgivable is the violent robbery that happened in May when a
:35:20. > :35:26.corner shop lost all of its takings. Most of us have happy memories of
:35:26. > :35:31.the weekend's of the Royal wedding in April. But some of us will
:35:31. > :35:35.remember it for all of the wrong reasons. In South Wales, a criminal
:35:35. > :35:39.gang targeted the local corner shop intent on cashing in on takings
:35:39. > :35:45.from the double bank holiday. are looking at a premeditated
:35:45. > :35:52.attack. The offenders had obviously case out the joint. By Tuesday the
:35:52. > :35:58.shop and almost �10,000 to bank. In a carefully planned hits, the
:35:58. > :36:05.gangway to it until the victim was out of sight from the CCTV and
:36:05. > :36:10.that's when they attacked. I was carrying my backpack and walked
:36:10. > :36:20.towards the car-like end normally do. The attackers knew exactly what
:36:20. > :36:21.
:36:21. > :36:31.they were after. All the time I just wanted to keep it safe. I
:36:31. > :36:34.
:36:34. > :36:41.didn't realise my life was at risk. When I fell down my head hit the
:36:41. > :36:48.road. Using his legs, he kneeled on my shoulder and tried grabbing the
:36:48. > :36:52.back. He tried to fight off the robber but then a second gang
:36:52. > :36:59.member waded in. A realised he could not hold on any longer and I
:36:59. > :37:08.had to let it go. He grabbed the bag and ran towards the car. They
:37:08. > :37:13.jumped into the car and drove away. I manage to get the number plate.
:37:13. > :37:20.Maybe they were fake, I do not know but I remember I just looked a
:37:20. > :37:26.couple of times in which direction as they drove. I got the number
:37:26. > :37:30.plate. The entire operation was planned to ensure the attack
:37:30. > :37:35.happened in a CCTV blind-spot. knew what they were doing. They
:37:35. > :37:39.were aware of how to watch people. Obviously they have so far got away
:37:39. > :37:44.with this and the worry for us is they are still out there and could
:37:44. > :37:49.potentially commit further offences. The victim's bravery in chasing
:37:49. > :37:52.after his attackers and memorising the number plate gave police a lead.
:37:52. > :37:58.The getaway car was found to have been stolen 18 days earlier in
:37:58. > :38:03.Gloucestershire. The car was found abandoned just a few streets away
:38:03. > :38:06.from the scene of the crime. Shaken up and injured, the victim and back
:38:06. > :38:14.to the shop. He wasn't making any sense because he was still very
:38:14. > :38:22.hysterical. He said the money is gone. I didn't realise until that
:38:22. > :38:28.time, my head was bleeding. Then I realised I had a cut on my head. I
:38:28. > :38:33.was nervous and shaking. I started shaking after that. I did not
:38:33. > :38:41.realise the gravity of the crime. Only later on I realised how
:38:41. > :38:44.organised it was. It wasn't like a drunk or a petty shoplifter, this
:38:44. > :38:52.was unorganised thing. Still reeling from the shock of the
:38:52. > :38:58.robbery, Ruki Paul was shocked to find out his insurance policy did
:38:58. > :39:03.not cover him for the robbery. the small print, for that quantity
:39:03. > :39:10.of money you have to be accompanied by three people. After the shock of
:39:10. > :39:20.realising that quantity of money had been stolen, it is hard to
:39:20. > :39:21.
:39:21. > :39:25.comprehend. �10,000 has just vanished, just like that.
:39:25. > :39:29.DS Nick Jenkins is in charge. What help do you want from the public?
:39:29. > :39:34.As he said it was a pre-planned at robbery and will looking for the
:39:34. > :39:37.build-up, what happened the weeks before, any suspicious activity.
:39:37. > :39:42.What do you want to hear from people who may know something about
:39:42. > :39:45.this robbery? We would like them to come forward with any information
:39:45. > :39:50.relating to the vehicle and to the robbery itself and any suspicious
:39:50. > :39:53.activity at the time of the robbery. What advice would you give to shop
:39:53. > :39:57.owners or anyone taking a large amount of cash to the bank? They
:39:57. > :40:04.need to look at their insurance policies, check the small print to
:40:04. > :40:07.make sure they are covered, but also to look at the their trips,
:40:07. > :40:14.change roods and the vehicles they use and also the method they carry
:40:14. > :40:19.the cash as well. Thanks very much. We have helicops taking off over
:40:19. > :40:27.there. We do need your help. If you have any information at all, please
:40:27. > :40:30.do get in touch. The number is on the screen.
:40:30. > :40:34.Sounds like people are getting in touch because we have had lots of
:40:34. > :40:41.calls on wanted faces today. David Atkins, who is having his birthday
:40:41. > :40:44.tomorrow. He is wanted for burglary and theft and the recall to prison.
:40:44. > :40:49.Also getting an interesting call through on the forest robbery, the
:40:49. > :40:53.newsagent that was robbed of �10,000. Passing that on to the
:40:53. > :40:59.police. And a burglary at the church in Monmouth, we show due the
:40:59. > :41:03.silver chalices, we have taken a call on that, �15,000 worth of
:41:03. > :41:08.stuff stolen in total. Thanks to everyone who got in touch. Last day
:41:09. > :41:12.tomorrow, where are you both? are in Cardiff, the Welsh capital
:41:12. > :41:16.and we have a terrifying story of a woman who was attacked while she
:41:16. > :41:26.was jogging. I have been out with Cardiff police are knocking down a
:41:26. > :41:32.
:41:32. > :41:37.I am here with Cardiff's police unit, the Priority Policing Team
:41:37. > :41:42.and they are determined to kick off with a bang.
:41:42. > :41:49.Police! If you think the size of my fists,
:41:49. > :41:57.that would be thousands of pounds worth of drugs. Nice thing to have
:41:57. > :42:07.under your bed. That is tomorrow, but thanks to

:42:09. > :42:13.South Wales helicops who had just taken off to go back to work.
:42:13. > :42:16.Thanks to you both. We have one day left of the series so let me tell
:42:16. > :42:23.you about a Crimewatch Special tonight on the Milly Dowler murder
:42:23. > :42:29.case. We have exclusive interviews with friends and family. She was so
:42:29. > :42:35.happy. She was such a lovely person. I feel like my heart has been torn
:42:35. > :42:39.out. I said to there, we'll be OK walking home on your own? We all
:42:39. > :42:43.looked out for each other but we lived in a nice area and the
:42:43. > :42:47.question itself seemed silly. She laughed and said, don't be
:42:47. > :42:51.ridiculous I will be fine. There was no reason why she shouldn't
:42:51. > :42:56.have been. It was the last time I saw her.
:42:57. > :43:00.That is a Crimewatch pressure tonight on BBC One at 9pm. We will
