:00:43. > :00:47.Welcome to Crimewatch Roadshow. The show that uses your information to
:00:47. > :00:50.fight back against crime. Today we're taking on the bag thieves.
:00:50. > :00:55.How a new piece of software is helping the police catch them in
:00:56. > :01:05.the act. And we're trying to locate a car jacker who drove off leaving
:01:05. > :01:06.a pensioner for dead. Plus: We'll be out with the police
:01:06. > :01:12.in one of Nottingham's toughest estates.
:01:12. > :01:16.We're in the East Midlands all this week. Today, we are in a tiny
:01:16. > :01:21.village with a big claim to fame: East Stoke just outside Newark in
:01:21. > :01:25.This really is a village with a difference.
:01:25. > :01:28.People here got so fed up with crime, they raised �50,000 to make
:01:28. > :01:31.East Stoke the first crime-free village in the UK. We will be
:01:31. > :01:38.finding out what that actually means later in the programme. BBC
:01:38. > :01:42.East Stoke may well be a no-go zone for criminals. But just 11 miles
:01:42. > :01:50.away is the market town of Southwell. It's had a spate of
:01:50. > :01:53.burglaries over two months. We need Let's get on with our first appeal.
:01:53. > :02:01.A day trip turned into a nightmare for have-a-go hero Jean Burrows,
:02:01. > :02:05.when an opportunist thief targeted her car.
:02:05. > :02:14.I just thought, he's not having my car. And I kept saying to him: "Get
:02:14. > :02:18.out of my car, get out of my car!" As she looked up, there was all
:02:18. > :02:28.blood on her face, and it was all over the road, and I just kept
:02:28. > :02:28.
:02:29. > :02:36.thinking, why? The morning of 13th November 2010.
:02:36. > :02:40.And Jean was driving to pick up I went and turned left up Windmill
:02:40. > :02:42.Rise to pick Sandra up. Here we can see Jean's car on the
:02:42. > :02:47.CCTV as she drives to pick up her friend Sandra.
:02:47. > :02:52.I think it was about eight o' clock that she said she'd come for me,
:02:52. > :02:57.and I was ready. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a
:02:57. > :03:02.normal day. For now. Then we went up to Birchwood Lane,
:03:02. > :03:06.and turned right down there to pick Fred up. Sandra went to fetch him.
:03:06. > :03:10.Then Sandra was coming with Fred, so I went to put his bag in the
:03:10. > :03:15.back of the car. Perhaps naively, Jean left her keys
:03:15. > :03:18.in the ignition. It was a mistake that almost cost
:03:18. > :03:21.her life. I was aware of this young man
:03:21. > :03:26.walking around past the pub. I wasn't really taking that much
:03:26. > :03:29.notice. I was concentrating on getting Fred's bags in the back and
:03:29. > :03:34.getting him in to go. A lone opportunist spotted the keys,
:03:34. > :03:41.and made his move. Just as he got level with my car,
:03:41. > :03:45.he just ran and jumped in. Have-a-go hero Jean reacted
:03:45. > :03:50.immediately, without thinking of the consequences.
:03:50. > :03:57.I ran down to the car and tried to get my keys out, and he kept
:03:57. > :04:04.I just thought, he's not having my car. I kept saying to him, "Get out
:04:04. > :04:14.of my car, get out of my car!" there was Jean trying to get the
:04:14. > :04:16.
:04:16. > :04:26.Who it was incredibly brave of Jean. Later we will be giving you the
:04:26. > :04:29.
:04:29. > :04:31.clues to help track this thief. Simon with an appeal about a spate
:04:31. > :04:34.of burglaries just 11 miles from here.
:04:34. > :04:37.I'm with DI Ali Jones, who's been investigating the burglaries that
:04:37. > :04:41.have happened in Southwell in just two months. And one of the victims,
:04:41. > :04:44.Tony Smith. What happened? I went out for a meal. When we came
:04:44. > :04:54.back, someone had broken in to the house. All our electrical goods
:04:54. > :05:01.were gone. And my credit cards and wallet. And they had been through
:05:01. > :05:06.personal documents, bank details. This is a small place. Seven
:05:06. > :05:11.burglaries is a lot. Are you linking them? We are, there have
:05:11. > :05:17.been a number of burglaries from the end of March until May, four of
:05:17. > :05:25.which we can link. Security lights have been moved, like so have been
:05:25. > :05:31.taken out. The same method? Yes. You have some interesting CCTV, not
:05:31. > :05:36.of somebody in a burglary but connected with Tony. This man has
:05:36. > :05:42.used his bank cards to take money out of a machine on the evening of
:05:42. > :05:52.the burglary. So you have captured images of him using the card?
:05:52. > :05:55.is right. On the forest road. great CCTV. That CCTV is also on
:05:55. > :06:02.our website so you can take a closer look, hopefully somebody
:06:02. > :06:05.will recognise this man. If you do, please call, and put a stop to
:06:05. > :06:09.these burglaries. Now back to Rav with today's wanted faces.
:06:09. > :06:12.Let's give this man, Paul Morrisey a birthday present he'll never
:06:12. > :06:15.forget. He's 28 today. And Gwent Police want to talk to him in
:06:15. > :06:18.connection with an offence of affray, following a fight outside a
:06:18. > :06:22.Newport nightclub. He's known to have contacts in the Newport area,
:06:22. > :06:26.and police believe he's still in South Wales. If you know where he
:06:26. > :06:28.is, let us know. And we'll make sure the police give him a very
:06:28. > :06:31.special day. Do you recognise this man? Eskander
:06:31. > :06:35.Kwareem is wanted in connection with a rape in the Kidderminster
:06:35. > :06:39.area in January 2007. He is originally from Iraq, but has lived
:06:39. > :06:42.in the UK since 2003. He's known to have links to the London and Leeds
:06:42. > :06:46.area. Have you seen him recently? Do you recognise Jamie Anthony
:06:46. > :06:50.Pearson? Detectives in the north west of England want to talk to him
:06:50. > :06:53.in connection with conspiracy to commit robbery. He's known to have
:06:53. > :06:57.contacts in the Manchester area, in particular Newton Heath. If you
:06:57. > :07:00.know where he is, please don't approach him, just give us a call.
:07:00. > :07:04.Gwent Police are keen to find this man Mustaffa Bilgassam, although he
:07:04. > :07:08.may be using a different name now. He failed to appear in court back
:07:08. > :07:11.in August 2008, after pleading guilty to conspiracy to defraud.
:07:11. > :07:15.Bilgassam is originally from Libya, but is known to have contacts in
:07:15. > :07:25.South Wales, South east England, Leeds and Edinburgh. If you know

:07:27. > :07:35.where any of these people are, get And please, leave the space, or
:07:35. > :07:43.your message won't get through to Still to come on Crimewatch
:07:43. > :07:46.Nottingham police patrolled some of the city's toughest estates
:07:46. > :07:51.cracking down on anti-social behaviour.
:07:51. > :07:56.Can you help us find the thief who landed a have-a-go grannies in
:07:56. > :07:59.hospital? But before all that: CCTV is now pretty much everywhere you
:07:59. > :08:02.go. But some crooks seem to have completely forgotten about the
:08:02. > :08:09.cameras and carry on regardless. See if you recognise any of this
:08:09. > :08:13.lot. We all like a flutter. If you are
:08:13. > :08:18.going to take a gamble, you have to learn to take the good with the bad.
:08:18. > :08:24.Clearly, this punter on the gaming machine on the Old Kent Road hasn't
:08:24. > :08:30.got to grips with this because when he loses, he takes it badly. Very
:08:30. > :08:35.badly. He heads off to the toilet, arms himself with a weapon, and
:08:35. > :08:42.attacked the offending machines, all of them. Then, he walks away.
:08:42. > :08:48.Do not let him win by getting away with it, can you tell us who he is?
:08:48. > :08:53.This is a petrol thief with a difference. He pulls up in his red
:08:53. > :08:57.van at a BP service station in Basildon and fills up at �60 worth
:08:58. > :09:06.of fuel. He looks like he's going to pay but in fact he does not. He
:09:06. > :09:13.turns around, jumps back in the band and drives away. Help us catch
:09:13. > :09:16.this fraudster or, tell us who he Everyone likes to pamper themselves
:09:16. > :09:21.but this woman really seems to be pushing the boat out in Boots in
:09:21. > :09:26.West Wickham. She is stocking up on her favourite brands but isn't
:09:26. > :09:31.prepared to pay. She leaves the store. 10 minutes later she comes
:09:31. > :09:36.back for more. It turns ugly when they secured to guard follows her
:09:36. > :09:40.and he has a struggle to recover the goods. This woman proves that
:09:40. > :09:43.beauty is only skin-deep. Do not let her get away, and tell us who
:09:43. > :09:47.she is. Now remember, if you recognise any
:09:47. > :09:51.of the people featured in the CCTV, please get in touch. The numbers
:09:51. > :09:54.are on your screen. Now back to Miriam in our crime
:09:54. > :09:58.free village. The villagers of East Stoke were so
:09:58. > :10:02.fed up with crime on their doorstep, they decided to do something about
:10:02. > :10:04.it. Sid David is the lead for the local neighbourhood scheme watch,
:10:04. > :10:13.and the mastermind behind the campaign to create a crime-free
:10:13. > :10:20.village what on earth is a crime free village? We had lots of petty
:10:20. > :10:27.crime. Trailers being taken, prowlers, somebody even had their
:10:27. > :10:33.chickens stolen. What are the new security measures? We have CCTV is
:10:33. > :10:40.in most of the village. Every house has an intruder alarm. And up-to-
:10:40. > :10:43.date locks on their windows. There are 12 state-of-the-art
:10:43. > :10:53.cameras dotted around the village. And the pictures are all fed back
:10:53. > :10:57.
:10:57. > :11:06.here. Russell is demonstrating this. This is the image we are getting
:11:06. > :11:12.outside the hall. Miriam is on the camera. Cheryl is from the village.
:11:13. > :11:16.It has already benefited. Yes, we had people looking for scrap metal
:11:16. > :11:22.and had gained access through the back door and surprise me at my
:11:22. > :11:26.house when I was looking after my children. They went across to
:11:26. > :11:30.another neighbour's property. We got in touch with the guys with the
:11:30. > :11:36.computer, they did numberplate recognition and got in touch with
:11:36. > :11:39.the police. Weren't you a little worried about Big Brother watching
:11:40. > :11:49.the these cameras? It was a reassurance in that situation and
:11:50. > :11:51.
:11:51. > :11:56.has proved to us it is a bonus having it. Superintendent Paul
:11:56. > :12:00.Anderson, do the police support this? The villagers macro taking on
:12:00. > :12:05.board things you would expect the police to do. We are very
:12:05. > :12:08.supportive of this initiative. As we have heard, one of the key
:12:08. > :12:15.things is giving the police the ability to detect crime after it
:12:15. > :12:20.has happened. But probably for us, a greater benefit is deterrence.
:12:20. > :12:24.People may not know whether cameras are, they are no cameras are here.
:12:24. > :12:29.Since their installation there has been a remarkable drop in crime.
:12:29. > :12:35.This because people know there are cameras? Absolutely. Combined with
:12:35. > :12:41.the other measures people have taken, and we commend them for it,
:12:41. > :12:46.it has led this to be an award winning village.
:12:46. > :12:48.While it might be possible to keep a tight reign on crime in a small
:12:48. > :12:52.village, combating crime in London requires even more determination.
:12:52. > :13:00.One wine bar owner was so fed up with thefts from his customers, he
:13:00. > :13:03.decided to do something about it. On average there is a shoplifting
:13:04. > :13:07.offence committed every minute in the UK. Here were over half a
:13:07. > :13:17.million incidents of personal theft in England and Wales last year. The
:13:17. > :13:23.
:13:23. > :13:26.effect on the victims of It is important, when your handbag
:13:26. > :13:30.has got some jewellery. Or pictures of your family that are
:13:30. > :13:37.irreplaceable. If it's your laptop, and you've done a lot of work on
:13:37. > :13:40.that. That's important. Gordon's near the Embankment is the
:13:40. > :13:43.oldest wine bar in London. It's very dark and gloomy inside, a
:13:44. > :13:47.haven for pickpockets. They plagued the place to such an extent there
:13:47. > :13:50.were over 80 reported thefts a year. So the owners decided to do
:13:50. > :13:56.something about it. Did you have a big problem here
:13:56. > :13:59.with pickpockets? It seems the ideal environment for them. Lots of
:13:59. > :14:05.people having a good time chatting with friends and drinking, and
:14:05. > :14:08.particularly inside as well. The pickpockets and thieves used to
:14:09. > :14:14.love coming down, because there are two entrances as well. They'd come
:14:14. > :14:18.down, they'd choose a darker spot. And just take stuff.
:14:18. > :14:21.Pubs and bars all over London use CCTV. But until now, there hasn't
:14:21. > :14:28.been an effective way of collating that footage and using it to catch
:14:28. > :14:31.But until now there hasn't been an effective way of collating that
:14:32. > :14:35.footage and using it to catch thieves. They had to do something
:14:35. > :14:37.urgently about the problem of thefts in the wine bar but how
:14:37. > :14:45.could shops and bars instantly warn their neighbours and crucially the
:14:46. > :14:49.police that they should be on the alert? The old processes were so
:14:49. > :14:57.convoluted it took weeks before the police would phone us up asking for
:14:57. > :15:00.footage. I just felt very powerless when a customer sad they'd had
:15:00. > :15:04.their bag stolen. There was nothing we could do. All we could do was
:15:04. > :15:07.take the details down and say go and talk to the police. I wanted to
:15:07. > :15:10.give the police what they needed so they could get on with their job.
:15:10. > :15:16.Because they are very effective at catching people but they're just
:15:16. > :15:18.bound up in administration and red tape. By working with police, Simon
:15:18. > :15:22.developed technology called Facewatch. If someone suspicious is
:15:22. > :15:25.seen on CCTV, the shop owner can now make an instant movie clip. The
:15:25. > :15:31.clip is then uploaded onto the website and neighbouring shops and
:15:31. > :15:38.bars receive an alert with the The police are also able to log on
:15:38. > :15:43.and identify the villains. Facewatch will save lots and lots
:15:43. > :15:46.of police time. To scour through footage trying to find the actual
:15:46. > :15:49.moment of theft is very, very difficult. It takes a lot of police
:15:49. > :15:52.time and often ends up in frustration because the officer
:15:52. > :15:55.wants to find the suspects and they can't find them. The system is
:15:55. > :15:58.having a massive impact with a number of successes including a bag
:15:58. > :16:02.snatcher at Gordon's. There is a particular incident involving
:16:02. > :16:05.Gordon's wine bar. You can see also that everyone is having a good time.
:16:05. > :16:08.They are with friends, having a drink. The last thing they are
:16:08. > :16:12.looking is their property that's been put on the floor beside them.
:16:12. > :16:15.This gentleman is standing at the back everyone else seems to be sat
:16:15. > :16:19.around drinking. He's looking down at the handbag that he's seen and
:16:19. > :16:22.he's pulling it with his feet. He's picked it up, he's placed it under
:16:22. > :16:26.his own jacket as a disguise leaves un-noticed by everyone. And you see
:16:26. > :16:36.him coming out of the door just there. With the bag. Looking at the
:16:36. > :16:40.
:16:40. > :16:50.goodies that he's just stolen. he's gone. Catching shoplifters
:16:50. > :16:58.
:16:58. > :17:05.became a priority for Vision Express. In this latest incident,
:17:05. > :17:10.when where were the staff at the time? They chose to come into this
:17:10. > :17:17.corner. Did they choose this corner because it was out of sight?
:17:17. > :17:22.believe they were targeting that particular set of frames. You had
:17:22. > :17:32.this system in place at the time. Has it helped? The next day we
:17:32. > :17:32.
:17:32. > :17:37.could trawl through images and put the best shops on. The local police
:17:37. > :17:42.are able to immediately access it. It saves hours of police time
:17:42. > :17:46.trawling through fitted, allowing them to focus on the incident
:17:46. > :17:54.itself. There is a good picture of him coming into the premises. He is
:17:54. > :18:01.having a good look around, isn't he? You can see the woman, taking
:18:01. > :18:08.frames of the shelf. She is placing the security tags just underneath.
:18:08. > :18:18.She has put the glasses in her bag. Did we get a good facial shot?
:18:18. > :18:22.when she comes into the premises. Has she been identified? No.
:18:22. > :18:28.police are trying to trace these potential shoplifters. We would
:18:28. > :18:37.like your help to identify these two characters. If you know them,
:18:37. > :18:41.please get in touch. Now back to Simon in Nottinghamshire. Cannabis
:18:41. > :18:45.is the controversial drug with many people arguing it is harmless and
:18:45. > :18:50.does not justify the attention it gets from the police. That is not a
:18:50. > :19:00.view shared by Nottinghamshire Constabulary, as they demonstrated
:19:00. > :19:02.
:19:02. > :19:06.earlier this week. Operation Barnes Stormer. This operation has been
:19:06. > :19:16.responsible for the seizure of �2 million worth of cannabis and
:19:16. > :19:21.heroin since 2009. Nobody knows better than the local bobbies about
:19:21. > :19:26.what is happening on the ground. Small teams aren't yielding really
:19:26. > :19:36.picked results. When that information comes in, it is time to
:19:36. > :19:45.
:19:45. > :19:50.This is the first warrant of the day. They have broken down the door.
:19:50. > :19:57.They're looking to see if there are signs of an illegal cannabis
:19:57. > :20:06.factory. It has been set up in a hidden loft space. There are a few
:20:07. > :20:12.young plants. At the second a dress, signs that the tenant is the dealer
:20:12. > :20:22.and is brought in for questioning. There are 14 bags of cannabis in
:20:22. > :20:23.
:20:23. > :20:32.their individual deal bags. Not a great deal in terms of amount.
:20:32. > :20:39.done! Police! So, within a few seconds of them breaking down the
:20:39. > :20:43.door, they have found the loft is full of cannabis plants. This is
:20:43. > :20:51.definitely the biggest factory of the day they have uncovered. The
:20:51. > :20:59.heat and the smell of quite unbearable. 15 plants which could
:20:59. > :21:08.generate �7,500 every 12 weeks or so. A very lucrative crop. This is
:21:08. > :21:15.a money-making enterprise, isn't it? No mark -- it is one large
:21:16. > :21:21.party, isn't it? I am joined by Inspector Steve Payne, who is
:21:21. > :21:31.responsible for policing that area in Nottingham. Is it worth almost
:21:31. > :21:37.resources for a drug that some Cannabis is not the drug it used to
:21:37. > :21:43.be. There is a clear link between cannabis, acquisitive crime and
:21:43. > :21:48.antisocial behaviour. What other effects has it has? Crime has
:21:48. > :21:51.dropped. We use it to target offenders. If you are and bowled in
:21:52. > :21:59.crime, Antisocial Behaviour Act and you have the drugs habit, we will
:21:59. > :22:04.not at your door and work with the other people to ensure it happens.
:22:04. > :22:13.We will be tried crime down and make the estate a better place.
:22:13. > :22:22.are going to carry on. Have you ever had a letter like this? It is
:22:22. > :22:28.a scam. It is promising a deal too good to be true. It is a hoax. Your
:22:28. > :22:33.mother fell victim to this sort of thing, didn't she? My mother
:22:33. > :22:39.received one of these letters. She sent off a fee for the prize that
:22:39. > :22:45.did not arrive. Her name got put on to a suckers list. This name
:22:45. > :22:50.resulted in my mother receiving 30,000 scam letters. They would ask
:22:50. > :22:55.your mother to send �10, �15, in order to receive a huge jackpot
:22:55. > :23:02.which did not exist. When she passed away she was still waiting
:23:02. > :23:05.for the wind will that never came. She was convinced these people were
:23:05. > :23:10.genuine. She developed a personal relationship. We could not get
:23:10. > :23:15.power of attorney and we could not redirect her mail. You have been
:23:15. > :23:19.proactive about this. You have a huge demonstration that you are
:23:20. > :23:26.going to tell me about more. This sculpture was made by the children
:23:26. > :23:32.from Aldborough Park Primary School in Bristol. They have made it at a
:23:32. > :23:37.paper mache. They have made heads to represent the victims and they
:23:37. > :23:42.have evil eyes at the bottom to represent this gamma. The idea is
:23:42. > :23:46.to get children involved so they can educate parents and
:23:46. > :23:51.grandparents and spread the word that through the younger generation.
:23:51. > :23:58.These are actually scam letters which the youngsters are putting on.
:23:58. > :24:01.That is right. It is made out of spam mail. About 30,000 letters
:24:02. > :24:06.made it. It is raising awareness and getting the children involved
:24:06. > :24:14.as well. You are heavily involved with this from a police point of
:24:14. > :24:19.view. How big is the problem? is serious crime. �6.5 billion the
:24:19. > :24:23.year is going to these fraudsters. That is a massive amount of money.
:24:23. > :24:28.Probably the tip of the iceberg. From one letter going through your
:24:28. > :24:36.door and a cut of �10, you win a million, and then �20 to do the
:24:36. > :24:44.admin three, �30, �40, it grabs you. They sell your details to other
:24:44. > :24:50.fraudsters. Suddenly it is 20, 30 letters a day. In some cases, over
:24:50. > :24:55.100. We are trying to educate the people - educate the victims. They
:24:55. > :25:00.still believe they are going to win. It is not just them, it is the
:25:00. > :25:05.families. They go through so much turmoil in trying to convince their
:25:05. > :25:08.parents and loved ones they are being scanned. I would say, look at
:25:08. > :25:14.the sculpture, look at this programme and to not do it. Do not
:25:14. > :25:18.send money to people you do not know. All you youngsters as well,
:25:18. > :25:26.carry on what you are doing. Time for some more criminals that have
:25:26. > :25:30.been caught in the act. This man looks like any other shoppers
:25:30. > :25:37.browsing this mobile-phone shop in Stratford. He appears to be looking
:25:37. > :25:42.for a handset and chats to a staff member about it. Once he spies the
:25:42. > :25:46.object of his desire, he fiddles with it and then gave us the phone
:25:46. > :25:51.into position before producing a pair of scissors, snipping the
:25:51. > :25:58.security wire and legging it. Let's put a stop to this phone pest. Give
:25:58. > :26:04.us a call. It is late evening in a north Manchester shopping centre.
:26:04. > :26:11.This Travel Agents is closed. You'd think it is late to book a holiday.
:26:11. > :26:15.This will not want to break in. Four men wearing balaclavas use
:26:15. > :26:20.sledgehammers to smash the doors. They tried to break into the shop
:26:20. > :26:23.offers but love it when an alarm sounded. They escaped in a five-
:26:23. > :26:32.door silver car that was waiting outside for them. You know who
:26:32. > :26:37.these robbers are? It is a lovely spring day in Newham in London in
:26:37. > :26:42.March of this year. These two men seem to be enjoying the sunshine.
:26:42. > :26:46.Are they? It becomes clear they may have other things on their mind as
:26:46. > :26:52.they cross the road and walk into the side door of this house. 10
:26:52. > :26:56.minutes later they are out, clearly carrying a major part of their loot
:26:56. > :27:00.- a flat-screen television - right past the CCTV camera. If you know
:27:00. > :27:06.who they are, give us their names and we will make sure the police
:27:06. > :27:12.pay them a visit. You can get his second look of all the CCTV on the
:27:12. > :27:16.website. We have been on air for nearly two weeks and we have had
:27:16. > :27:22.some great leaps from you put a lot of people have said they have been
:27:22. > :27:28.hit by similar crimes to the banner Times credit card theft we talked
:27:28. > :27:32.about yesterday. One caller has provided us with a name. Another
:27:32. > :27:38.court about the sculpture we featured yesterday. We have a name
:27:38. > :27:42.for one of the suspects which has been passed on to the police. Now
:27:42. > :27:48.back to Miriam in East stake. Earlier in the programme we met
:27:48. > :27:55.Jean he was not going to let anyone take her car without a fight. He is
:27:55. > :27:59.what happened next. 67-year-old Jean was waiting to go out for the
:27:59. > :28:06.day with her friends when an opportunist struck and the knee-
:28:06. > :28:12.jerk reaction nearly Costa his life. I just thought, he is not having my
:28:12. > :28:20.car. There was blood on the face and it was over the road. I turned
:28:20. > :28:29.left and pit sunder up. I went up to pick Fred up. It was not long
:28:29. > :28:33.before the nice day out took a turn Realising that the man was about to
:28:33. > :28:37.steal her car, brave Jean wasn't prepared to stand by and let it
:28:37. > :28:44.happen without putting up a fight. I ran down to the car and tried to
:28:44. > :28:47.I ran down to the car and tried to It's obvious to us that have been
:28:47. > :28:50.investigating this crime that the person responsible for it just
:28:50. > :28:53.seized the opportunity and jumped into the vehicle, complete
:28:53. > :28:56.disregard for Jean's safety. For Jean, this tussle wasn't to be
:28:56. > :29:00.the end of it, things were about to go from bad to worse.
:29:00. > :29:03.I carried on trying to get the keys out, and he started speeding up.
:29:03. > :29:06.Next minute, she was going down the street.
:29:06. > :29:10.The car started to pull away slowly at first, but got steadily faster.
:29:10. > :29:16.Jean was dragged from her feet, and landed face first on the concrete.
:29:16. > :29:20.The driver sped off, leaving Jean injured in the road.
:29:21. > :29:27.The next minute, she was across the other side of the road on the floor,
:29:27. > :29:37.flat out on her stomach and he head. I was sitting in the gutter with
:29:37. > :29:40.
:29:40. > :29:44.people round me, and blankets, and apparently I was covered in blood.
:29:44. > :29:47.I said, "Jean, stay still, stay still." as she looked up, there was
:29:47. > :29:51.all blood on her face and it was all over the road.
:29:51. > :29:55.There was a pool of blood behind me, and I can just remember thinking,
:29:55. > :30:02."I hope that wasn't my blood." But it didn't register at the time that
:30:02. > :30:06.it probably was. I just kept looking down at Jean
:30:06. > :30:11.and saying, "You all right? You'll be all right." I'd cracked my skull,
:30:11. > :30:14.down that part. And I'd broken my nose.
:30:14. > :30:17.The extent of Jean's injuries were so horrific that even her
:30:17. > :30:27.grandchildren hardly recognised her When they came in, Ruby's ten and
:30:27. > :30:27.
:30:28. > :30:31.Molly's eight, and the look on My daughter says, "I think they
:30:31. > :30:39.were frightened of hurting you". They'd never seen me like that
:30:39. > :30:43.before. It really upset me to think If I'm outside and it's a bit dusky,
:30:43. > :30:46.or early in the morning, then I'm looking over my shoulder all the
:30:47. > :30:53.while thinking, if he's still walking about, is he going to do it
:30:53. > :30:59.to somebody else? I just kept thinking, why? You know,
:30:59. > :31:03.why did he want to do it? I dread to think what could have
:31:03. > :31:09.happened, if I'd had grandchildren in the car or dogs in the car. It
:31:09. > :31:12.could have been a lot, lot worse. I struggle to see how this person
:31:12. > :31:15.can sleep at night. When that vehicle drove away, Jean was left
:31:15. > :31:18.in the road. She was bleeding heavily, and had very serious
:31:18. > :31:21.facial injuries. Residents and local people and one of the
:31:21. > :31:28.witnesses went to her assistance, and that would have been seen by
:31:28. > :31:32.the person driving the vehicle away. I think that person needs help, he
:31:32. > :31:35.really does need help. Because to do something like that, he's got to
:31:35. > :31:43.have something wrong. I don't think he can be mentally stable to do
:31:43. > :31:46.something like that. I struggle to come to terms with
:31:46. > :31:50.how somebody can do this, I'm not for one minute suggesting we have
:31:50. > :31:54.got somebody in the community that is a violent person, I think their
:31:54. > :31:57.main aim was to seize the vehicle, and take the vehicle away. However,
:31:57. > :32:00.things escalated, and the offence became far more serious than they
:32:00. > :32:06.intended. I appeal to that person to come forward and speak to us.
:32:06. > :32:09.And give their version of events. Why this occurred, how it occurred.
:32:09. > :32:16.And what they've got to say about Jean's injuries as a consequence of
:32:16. > :32:25.what they have done. I'm here with Jean and her husband Keith.
:32:25. > :32:31.What made you try to grab the keys to your car? I didn't think, I just
:32:31. > :32:38.thought, he is not going to have my car. You don't think about things
:32:38. > :32:44.at the time. I thought, he is not having my car. It is not an
:32:44. > :32:51.expensive car, why does it mean so much to you? I have always liked
:32:51. > :32:57.these models, you can get your dogs in the back, it is a workhorse.
:32:57. > :33:03.irreplaceable for you? It is, for me. What do you feel about the fact
:33:03. > :33:08.this chap is still out there? feel sorry for him, I feel that he
:33:08. > :33:17.needs help. If anybody knows who he is, they ought to come forward. He
:33:17. > :33:25.does need help. I do not want him to hurt anybody else. Do you see
:33:25. > :33:29.yourself as have-a-go hero? Would you do this again? I think I
:33:29. > :33:33.probably would, because you do not think at the time. You just think
:33:33. > :33:40.about what is happening and they are not getting away with this will
:33:40. > :33:45.stop and I tried to stop him. glad you're still in one piece.
:33:45. > :33:54.Simon is with the officer in charge of this investigation.
:33:54. > :33:59.What happened afterwards? The vehicle was abandoned on
:33:59. > :34:02.Rodgers Lane in the town centre on a service road. We are eager to
:34:02. > :34:10.speak to anybody who may have seen his car being abandoned and the
:34:10. > :34:17.person who left it there. It was quite busy at the time. Lots of
:34:17. > :34:20.shoppers in the town centre. On the day, there was a cycle event taking
:34:20. > :34:30.place where many cyclists were unpacking their cars in the car
:34:30. > :34:35.
:34:35. > :34:38.park. If you have any information, please get in touch. All week, I've
:34:38. > :34:40.managed to tag along with a specialist unit dedicated to
:34:40. > :34:45.combating anti-social behaviour, across some of Nottingham's
:34:45. > :34:48.toughest estates. Nottingham police have decided to
:34:48. > :34:58.deal with anti-social behaviour head on, by sending out special
:34:58. > :35:02.
:35:02. > :35:07.patrols at peak times to target They could be trapped in here, they
:35:07. > :35:10.think it is a playground. Most of the incidents that the anti-social
:35:10. > :35:16.behaviour car is called to are relatively minor. Things like
:35:16. > :35:23.disputes between neighbours. But the officers are also trying to
:35:23. > :35:27.prevent offences happening in the first place. There are three
:35:27. > :35:30.patrols a week for the teams of officers, whose job is a mixture of
:35:30. > :35:36.social work and crime prevention. The patrols are on the lookout for
:35:36. > :35:39.anti-social behaviour on two estates. The Meadows and Clifton,
:35:39. > :35:48.said to be the biggest council estate in Europe when it was first
:35:48. > :35:58.PC Ken Meller and PC Adam Francis are called to a house where a youth
:35:58. > :36:03.
:36:03. > :36:06.has caused a disturbance. He's just set a fire up there. While Ken
:36:07. > :36:10.deals with the complaint, the Fire Service arrives. But there is
:36:10. > :36:15.nothing remaining but the boys smouldering clothes. The officers
:36:15. > :36:19.decide to track him down at his mother's house, but he's not in.
:36:19. > :36:22.We're not gonna nick him. But we'd like to talk to him. He's going to
:36:22. > :36:26.end up in big trouble. ASBOs, convictions, cautions. Where does
:36:26. > :36:34.it end? For the patrol to be effective,
:36:34. > :36:37.having the parents back-up is essential. That's always a bonus.
:36:37. > :36:43.If you've got parents who are interested and bothered about the
:36:43. > :36:46.behaviour of their children. Sadly, it's often the case they're not.
:36:47. > :36:54.The other anti-social patrol has heard a child hasn't got home from
:36:54. > :36:57.school. The police have got a report of a missing boy. He is
:36:57. > :37:03.about ten years old. They have got a description. The police
:37:03. > :37:08.helicopter is up, they are looking for him. So the anti-social
:37:08. > :37:18.behaviour car team are now a missing persons team. They're
:37:18. > :37:21.
:37:21. > :37:30.Whilst the beat officers continue the search for the missing boy, PC
:37:30. > :37:40.Anthony Parker and PC Darren White They have been called to a ruined
:37:40. > :37:41.
:37:41. > :37:48.mansion, which is a magnet for You see that once the kids are in
:37:48. > :37:55.here, they're protected really. Nobody can see them. Only the
:37:55. > :37:58.residents over that side can see what they are up to. Once they get
:37:58. > :38:02.inside, it's clear that the intruders are long gone. So has
:38:02. > :38:08.that been pulled off?' yes, that's been pulled off. You can see from
:38:08. > :38:11.the drinks cans that someone's been in. The patrol are more worried
:38:11. > :38:19.about the welfare of any would-be trespassers. The worst could happen
:38:19. > :38:22.and they could be trapped in here. They think it's a playground. If
:38:22. > :38:27.something happened to them, it could be a while before someone
:38:27. > :38:32.finds them. Any word on the missing boy yet?
:38:32. > :38:35.No, there's no word of him. The officers at the scene are
:38:35. > :38:40.investigating as many leads as they can. Phoning school friends, people
:38:40. > :38:50.who may have seen him. CCTV, things like that. Making enquiries to
:38:50. > :38:53.
:38:53. > :38:59.The good news is that thankfully the missing boy was found live and
:38:59. > :39:03.Last week on Crimewatch Roadshow, we asked you to help police locate
:39:04. > :39:07.convicted rapist Tolgay Istek. Thanks to your information, he was
:39:07. > :39:10.arrested within four hours of the programme. The Turkish national had
:39:10. > :39:15.been on the run for four years, causing his victim incredible
:39:15. > :39:25.distress. Miriam went to meet her, and asked how she felt about the
:39:25. > :39:26.
:39:26. > :39:31.Going back over the last four years, how has your life been affected by
:39:31. > :39:37.what happened to you? At it has changed a lot of things about me,
:39:37. > :39:45.my personality. The way I react to people. How did it change your
:39:45. > :39:51.personality? I think I was a lot louder, I maybe a bit more wary of
:39:51. > :39:57.anyone else around me. When he got away, how did you react? When you
:39:57. > :40:05.got the news? I was devastated. It was like I had gone through the
:40:05. > :40:10.whole court process for no reason. It was so long, it had been quite
:40:10. > :40:19.hard to deal with anyway. Were you frightened, knowing he was out
:40:19. > :40:22.there? I was frightened he would be coming after me but more that I
:40:22. > :40:26.didn't know where he was or what he looked like, it could have been
:40:26. > :40:32.anyone around me. Where were you when you found that this man had
:40:32. > :40:39.been caught? I was in my house. I had just spoken to the police
:40:39. > :40:45.earlier, to say it had been on Crimewatch. I wasn't really
:40:45. > :40:50.expecting anything to come of it because it had been so long. Then,
:40:50. > :40:55.to be telephoned a couple of hours they tend to be told he was in
:40:55. > :41:01.Kirsti, I can believe it, it was overwhelming. I don't think I
:41:01. > :41:06.believe it now. It was amazing. What did you say to people watching
:41:06. > :41:11.Crimewatch Roadshow, and they know who committed a crime but they do
:41:11. > :41:17.not want to ring? I would tell them to phone up. It has helped me so
:41:17. > :41:23.much, especially the sky would not be behind the eyes if it were not
:41:23. > :41:27.for Crimewatch. People think it is a TV show, it is there for
:41:27. > :41:33.entertainment, but it does help people's lives and help them to
:41:33. > :41:43.move on. What about your future now? I am looking forward to my
:41:43. > :41:43.
:41:43. > :41:48.future. Since I have been told, I have been a lot happier already. I
:41:48. > :41:52.can see anything going well. everything has changed for you?
:41:52. > :42:02.A Thanks to you, one more criminal is behind bars. So keep those calls
:42:02. > :42:04.
:42:04. > :42:08.coming. An update on the wanted faces and CCTV. One call about one
:42:08. > :42:15.phase which police are saying is very significant. We have passed
:42:15. > :42:20.that information on, thank you. One viewer has recognised a man on
:42:20. > :42:23.yesterday's CCTV stealing petrol. We have passed that information on
:42:23. > :42:28.to police. Miriam and Simon, where are you
:42:28. > :42:31.tomorrow? We're heading off to Derbyshire
:42:31. > :42:34.where we're asking for information on an arsonist who set a fleet of
:42:34. > :42:38.lorries ablaze, nearly destroying a family business.
:42:38. > :42:41.And I'll be trying to trace the owner of a diamond ring worth
:42:41. > :42:43.�5,000. Thank you both. For more details
:42:43. > :42:52.about the crimes on today's programme, head to
