:00:42. > :00:46.Hello. And welcome to Crimewatch Roadshow, the programme where you
:00:46. > :00:55.can make a difference and keep our streets safer. Coming up on the
:00:55. > :01:00.programme today: Were you on what on farmland, with the UK Border
:01:00. > :01:03.Agency who are clamping and on illegal immigrants in the Teesside
:01:03. > :01:08.and of Aberystwyth. The beautiful Welsh countryside is
:01:08. > :01:14.a magnet for bikers, and Dyfed Powys Police are ready for them.
:01:14. > :01:18.And, the pensioner who was on the attack by intruders in the many
:01:18. > :01:23.hours. He was tied up and left on his run through the night. Police
:01:23. > :01:26.are appealing for new information. It's the end of week three, and the
:01:26. > :01:30.roadshow team are, as ever, out travelling the country. And today,
:01:30. > :01:37.they're slap bang in the middle of Wales. So where are you, Dave?
:01:37. > :01:41.Hi, Rav. It's our last day here in Wales, in Newtown, just ten miles
:01:41. > :01:47.from the border with England. Dyfed Powys Police need your help to find
:01:47. > :01:52.the people who robbed this building society behind me.
:01:52. > :01:55.And Nicola is here. Morning. And we'll also be looking
:01:55. > :01:57.at a pioneering scheme here in Newtown, where local shops have
:01:57. > :02:01.banded together to ban suspected shoplifters.
:02:01. > :02:04.Sounds good. Now, our first appeal. Dyfed Powys Police have a good
:02:04. > :02:09.record of solving cold cases, crimes from the past that haven't
:02:09. > :02:12.been solved. A review of cold cases led to the conviction of murderer
:02:12. > :02:15.John William Cooper. Now, they need your help with another case still
:02:15. > :02:25.on their books that they particularly want to solve. An
:02:25. > :02:30.attack so violent we can't go into the exact details of what happened.
:02:30. > :02:33.Since on its old crones on a balanced. That is the mantra of
:02:33. > :02:40.Dyfed Powys Police. That we did six years, John William Cooper thought
:02:40. > :02:43.he had got away with murder of four people in the 80s and the rape of
:02:43. > :02:48.the 16 you will go up in the 90s. And to record his review was
:02:48. > :02:53.ordered and forensic evidence was discovered, linking him to the
:02:53. > :03:00.crimes. You must judge meet after the trial and not before. The he
:03:00. > :03:05.would run guilty of the offences, and sentenced to life in prison.
:03:05. > :03:11.After the success, Dyfed Powys Police turned their attention to
:03:11. > :03:20.another court case is that it plays in 1990 borough. The Cricklehowell
:03:20. > :03:24.kenny, a full 17 years ago. Very serious. I lost hope they would

:04:30. > :04:40.subjected him to a horrific assault which was the Chilterns in the use

:04:55. > :05:01.living on the state pension. He had no money. The intruders fled,
:05:01. > :05:11.leaving him on his own. Born in Derry, a phone call was made to the

:06:00. > :06:05.passed away, police still need your help to catch the thugs who ruined
:06:05. > :06:08.the last years of his life. Despite the fact that the crime happened 17
:06:08. > :06:14.years ago, the police are still confident they can catch the
:06:15. > :06:20.perpetrators. People fought in and out of relationships in time. Some
:06:20. > :06:26.of them may have told somebody back in 1995 who they were friendly with,
:06:26. > :06:31.in a relationship with, married to. That may not be the case now. We
:06:31. > :06:36.will support any police investigation, and have a whole
:06:36. > :06:40.host of tools and techniques that they never had in 1995, so that is
:06:40. > :06:45.positive for us. We feel there is a really good chance that we are
:06:45. > :06:50.going to get a positive outcome from this investigation. Let's just
:06:50. > :06:54.hope with improved forensics that they can find something out.
:06:54. > :07:04.the family still want justice for the gentle man who was so cruelly
:07:04. > :07:09.
:07:09. > :07:14.A terribly sad case. While looking into it again after 17 years?
:07:14. > :07:20.police force is looking at all these unsolved serious crimes, so
:07:20. > :07:25.we don't have any undetected cases left in the police force. And to
:07:25. > :07:31.obtain justice for the family say they can move on. What information
:07:31. > :07:38.do you have? During the robbery, a gun similar to this one was taken,
:07:38. > :07:44.this is unusual, it was a 90 years old at the time of the offence.
:07:44. > :07:54.Particularly bold and brash. Maybe it has been sold on to an antique
:07:54. > :07:57.
:07:57. > :08:04.dealer. -- Particularly old and rare. There have been advances in
:08:04. > :08:08.forensic technology. We hope to advance this case. Please call if
:08:08. > :08:12.you have any information. Back to Rav.
:08:12. > :08:15.Now time for our Wanted Faces. It's the end of the week, so let's have
:08:15. > :08:18.another look at some of the Wanted Faces we've shown you recently.
:08:18. > :08:21.Steven Brown is wanted by detectives in Wiltshire, on
:08:21. > :08:24.suspicion of breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order. He was
:08:24. > :08:27.released on police bail, but then went missing. He has a noticeable
:08:27. > :08:30.West Country accent, and has connections in the Wiltshire and
:08:30. > :08:33.Bristol areas. Police had a great lead last time from an anonymous
:08:33. > :08:36.caller, but they would really like more information regarding his
:08:36. > :08:39.specific location. If you can help, then please contact us again.
:08:39. > :08:42.Next, Flamur Hasa is also commonly known as Muli, and apparently
:08:42. > :08:46.introduces himself as Barney the Greek. Detectives in the West
:08:46. > :08:49.Mercia force want to speak to him in connection with wounding with
:08:49. > :08:57.intent to cause grievous bodily harm. He's originally from Albania,
:08:57. > :09:00.but now has connections to the West Midlands and Telford areas. Police
:09:00. > :09:04.still need information on him. And Warren Jones. Police have been
:09:04. > :09:07.looking for him for the past six years. He was due to appear before
:09:07. > :09:11.Preston Crown Court in February 2006, in connection with a charge
:09:11. > :09:15.of actual bodily harm, but he didn't turn up. He has tattoos on
:09:15. > :09:19.his right arm of a skull, with "United" above it. And a heart with
:09:19. > :09:23."True love Karla" written on it. We've given a police a strong lead,
:09:23. > :09:26.but they'd like more information. And the last one for today. Paul
:09:26. > :09:29.Joseph Caddock. He's wanted in connection with the conspiracy to
:09:29. > :09:32.supply Class A drugs throughout the north west of England and Scotland.
:09:32. > :09:37.Caddock speaks with a Liverpudlian accent, and is believed to have
:09:37. > :09:41.access to a property in Thailand. If you know where any of those men
:09:41. > :09:45.are, do call. Our number is: 08000 468 999.

:09:52. > :09:58.Or, email us. Cwr@bbc.co.uk. Now back to Nicola in Newtown,
:09:58. > :10:02.Nicola. Thanks, Rav.
:10:02. > :10:05.Today we're with the Dyfed Powys force, which covers a vast area of
:10:06. > :10:09.Wales. From Newtown here in the north, to towns like Llanelli and
:10:09. > :10:19.Carmarthen in the south, the whole of Pembrokeshire, and Ceredigion in
:10:19. > :10:24.
:10:24. > :10:28.the west. So, a pretty challenging Fore and an area covering half of
:10:28. > :10:33.Wales and 315 miles of coast, police officers here have to deal
:10:33. > :10:39.with a wide range of challenges. are the largest geographical force
:10:39. > :10:43.and the smallest as far as staff are concerned, which presents
:10:43. > :10:47.sometimes some difficulties. area is home to a population of
:10:47. > :10:54.just half a million people. In the summer, this is dramatically
:10:54. > :10:57.boosted with the arrival of 850,000 tourists. Despite the rural setting,
:10:57. > :11:03.police officers face the same challenges as their colleagues
:11:04. > :11:08.countrywide. The police force tackles burglary, vehicle crime and
:11:08. > :11:13.anti-social behaviour. When storms hit Ceredigion in June, police
:11:13. > :11:20.responded to devastating floods. 1000 people were safely evacuated
:11:20. > :11:24.in the face of heavy rain, gales, and record high of river levels.
:11:24. > :11:27.did a very good job in difficult circumstances in the middle of the
:11:27. > :11:32.night with police officers risking their lives to make sure people
:11:32. > :11:35.were brought to safety. It may have one of the lowest crime rates in
:11:35. > :11:41.the UK but it doesn't mean the police officers are getting
:11:41. > :11:45.complacent. There's always room for improvement. We are running a
:11:45. > :11:54.programme of continuous improvement to make sure we do deal effectively
:11:54. > :11:59.with the needs of our community. The Chief Constable was talking
:11:59. > :12:09.about safer communities. Here it in Newtown, the police and community
:12:09. > :12:09.
:12:09. > :12:14.has joined together for an antique shop lifting programme. If you get
:12:14. > :12:21.on one of these posters, you could be banned from the shops for up to
:12:21. > :12:27.12 months. How does it work? You are one of the people involved.
:12:27. > :12:32.With the scheme, if you are caught shoplifting in a shop, you will be
:12:32. > :12:42.arrested. If found guilty, a committee will decide an
:12:42. > :12:46.
:12:46. > :12:54.appropriate plan. -- ban. If they enter the shop, the committee will
:12:54. > :13:01.decide to give them an extra month banning them from the shops. These
:13:01. > :13:07.posters, these are displayed in the shop for the public. The shop had a
:13:07. > :13:12.folder, it is confidential. Is it working? It is a brilliant scheme,
:13:12. > :13:19.all the shops have been fantastic, it is a good partnership. That's
:13:19. > :13:23.the police. What about the shopkeepers? How is it working?
:13:23. > :13:29.is definitely helping us, a brilliant scheme. There is a clear
:13:29. > :13:32.message, if you steal, you will be banned. Basically, people don't
:13:33. > :13:36.know if they come into the shops and steel, there is a chance they
:13:36. > :13:42.will be banned and they will be known if they try to sneak him
:13:42. > :13:50.again. It is reassuring the police other for us when we need them.
:13:50. > :14:00.Thank you. Shoplifters, there were, if you are in Newtown. You will be
:14:00. > :14:00.
:14:00. > :14:05.put on the scheme and banned from Time for an update on a Appeals,
:14:05. > :14:11.and we have some strong news for you. This man who we featured on
:14:11. > :14:15.Monday has now been arrested and charged with five sexual offences
:14:15. > :14:20.and is due in court next week. And to update you from another appeal
:14:20. > :14:25.on Monday about bogus policeman who conned their way into a pension a's
:14:25. > :14:29.home. Wiltshire police officers say we have given them some really
:14:29. > :14:36.promising information. Fingers crossed on that one.
:14:36. > :14:41.Have still to come: Whilst the bikers enjoy the thrill of the road,
:14:41. > :14:46.the traffic cops are keeping them in check. This cat was shot in the
:14:46. > :14:56.head, but miraculously survived. We need your help to find the crawl
:14:56. > :15:03.thugs who did this. Before all that, cast your mind back to last
:15:03. > :15:10.summer's riots. Do recognise any of these people? Police still need to
:15:10. > :15:14.identify some of the rioters. Peckham police station, my old Nick.
:15:14. > :15:21.Take a look at this. The man in the white top has his face covered, and
:15:21. > :15:28.we soon see why. He throws a petrol bomb at the building which flared
:15:28. > :15:35.dangerously as it lands. If you know who he is, calling. Last
:15:35. > :15:38.summer's routs again, this time in Clapham Junction. This party
:15:38. > :15:44.shopping Lavender Hill has been decimated by looters, but it is
:15:44. > :15:51.about to get a whole lot worse. A man wanders in with a lit cigarette
:15:51. > :15:56.and sets fire to one of the displays. The fire quickly takes
:15:56. > :16:02.hold, until the whole shoppers ablaze. The cameras then catch the
:16:02. > :16:07.arsonist walking up Lavender Hill towards ASDA. One witness
:16:07. > :16:12.photographs him, and he barges past another. Police really need to
:16:12. > :16:20.catch this man. If you know him, we were there that night, please get
:16:20. > :16:24.in touch. More riot footage, Clapham Junction again. A man in a
:16:24. > :16:30.blue hoodie uses a fire extinguisher to smash the window of
:16:30. > :16:37.a shop. When a passer-by tries to defuse things, another man wearing
:16:37. > :16:42.a balaclava let the fire extinguisher off in his face.
:16:42. > :16:51.Police would like to speak to the two witnesses who helped him after
:16:51. > :16:54.the incident. But they really want to find these two. No them? Ring us.
:16:54. > :17:04.If you recognised anyone or anything in those clips, please
:17:04. > :17:05.
:17:05. > :17:11.call us. Or you can call Wales has some of the most scenic
:17:11. > :17:14.roads in Britain, and they attract bikers from all over. But so far
:17:15. > :17:24.this year, 10 motorcyclist have been killed on Welsh roads, three
:17:24. > :17:30.of which have been here. So officers took to the A 44 operation
:17:30. > :17:33.Darwin near Brecon, and we went along for the ride. They are more
:17:33. > :17:39.than a million motorcycles registered in the UK, and for many
:17:39. > :17:44.bikers, these roads are a great place to ride. You have Black
:17:44. > :17:52.Mountain, some really nice driving roads. The best roads around here,
:17:52. > :17:58.yes. The tarmac is perfect. However, the popularity with bikers presents
:17:58. > :18:05.a particular challenge for the local traffic officers.
:18:06. > :18:11.disproportionate amount an hour traffic injuries involve
:18:11. > :18:16.motorcycles. These are specialist traffic officers out in force to
:18:16. > :18:21.clampdown on anything dangerous or illegal. We have 10 to 12 officers
:18:21. > :18:27.around certain areas across the country in order to carry out this
:18:27. > :18:33.operation. Officers like Leighton Phillips, conducting spot-checks on
:18:33. > :18:36.passing riders. The first check we normally do is to check that there
:18:36. > :18:41.are no reports on the vehicle, it is not outstanding stolen or lost,
:18:41. > :18:49.and then we conduct checks on the rider to make sure they have
:18:49. > :18:52.completed all the relevant exams As well as the roadside checks,
:18:52. > :18:59.officers are also using speed guns to catch bikers who might be
:18:59. > :19:09.breaking the speed limit. We want to catch the high end speeders, the
:19:09. > :19:12.
:19:12. > :19:15.ones doing way in excess. We had one cyclist hit a hundred mph. And
:19:15. > :19:20.there will be a police officer waiting with a smile down the road
:19:20. > :19:24.to advise them of the speed they were doing. But to it is not all
:19:24. > :19:29.about enforcement. They are committed to educating the
:19:29. > :19:35.motorcyclists with schemes like bike Safe, where bikers are offered
:19:35. > :19:38.tuition on safer riding. We're just trying to get people to think about
:19:38. > :19:43.their environment, about the weather conditions, the road
:19:43. > :19:48.surface, what sort of traffic is on the road. It is basically a course
:19:48. > :19:54.run by the police to give bikers more confidence, tips, assess their
:19:54. > :20:02.riding. They are not telling us all for nothing. It is just basic
:20:02. > :20:07.assessment. Most people drive cars as a necessity, but a bike is a
:20:07. > :20:17.leisure item, so they don't tend to spend as much time on it. We want
:20:17. > :20:18.
:20:18. > :20:24.them to think a little more before The work being done by police today
:20:24. > :20:28.is definitely known to the bikers out and about. I have seen people
:20:28. > :20:36.getting pulled up. This is the first time I have been spot checked.
:20:36. > :20:40.There are all right. The general consensus is that they are a bit of
:20:40. > :20:46.a nuisance. I know they have a job to do, but there is pedantic and
:20:46. > :20:51.there is pedantic. People have got opinions about police officers, and
:20:51. > :21:01.we have to accept that. I can see the attraction in having a bike, I
:21:01. > :21:03.
:21:03. > :21:07.can imagine the adrenalin rush. But it needs to be a safe hobby. Well,
:21:07. > :21:11.hopefully a safer future there for bikers. Now, possibly the last
:21:11. > :21:16.thing you would expect in a quiet place like New Town as a bank
:21:16. > :21:22.robbery, or a building society raid. But that is what happened here at
:21:22. > :21:30.the Nationwide in December 2010. Three men attacked a security guard
:21:30. > :21:34.filling up the cash machine. We have some CCTV. Two security guards
:21:34. > :21:39.make a delivery of cash and this strange around into the door. The
:21:40. > :21:44.guards try to keep him out, but he has a sledgehammer. Now we see the
:21:44. > :21:50.three men, two in high Viz jackets and one in dark clothing, making
:21:50. > :21:54.their way to the cash machine. They help themselves to three cases
:21:54. > :21:57.containing substantial amounts of cash. What you don't see is that
:21:57. > :22:02.the guards are managed to get to the relative safety of the back of
:22:02. > :22:09.the building before these guys escaped. Rebecca Cas well is the
:22:09. > :22:16.investigating officer. You are now taking this nationwide. Why? There
:22:16. > :22:21.were two cars used in this robbery, to Audis. They were stolen from an
:22:21. > :22:26.address in Solihull a month before, in November 2010, and they were
:22:26. > :22:30.stolen during the day. One is white and one is silver. The silver Audi
:22:30. > :22:34.was used to make off from this location, and was taken to a local
:22:34. > :22:40.industrial estate where it was then swapped over and the white Audi
:22:40. > :22:44.made off. You need to know where these cars were between the end of
:22:44. > :22:47.November and December when this raid took place. We have recovered
:22:47. > :22:53.the silver Audi, but we want to know where these circles were
:22:53. > :22:58.stored in between times, where is that quite Audi no, and the fact
:22:58. > :23:04.that these all on false plates, so who made these plates up?
:23:04. > :23:10.recovered one of the cash canisters, but two are still outstanding, and
:23:11. > :23:15.the �70,000? That's right. And this was a particularly unpleasant raid?
:23:15. > :23:19.It was a violent offence. The guards were in the building, and
:23:19. > :23:26.the cleaner was threatened. have got the clues. If you know
:23:26. > :23:29.anything, please give us a call. When you're a police officer, you
:23:29. > :23:33.come face to face was suspect and a daily basis, and you have to have a
:23:33. > :23:36.good eye for recognising a face. But it seems there are some
:23:36. > :23:46.individuals who of the chart when it comes to this skill, and they
:23:46. > :23:52.are known as Subo recognises. Mick, tell me about these super recognise
:23:52. > :23:58.us. We have always known that there are officers who were very good and
:23:58. > :24:05.edifying suspects from CCTV images. We had to identify this skill to go
:24:05. > :24:09.through the CCTV from the riots. There were so many images. That is
:24:09. > :24:14.a massive amount. Josh, you have been working with them. Is it a
:24:14. > :24:19.unique skill? It is. We have done some research would be his officers,
:24:19. > :24:22.and we have found from some of our tests that their levels of
:24:22. > :24:27.performance are extraordinary. They are far better than the average
:24:27. > :24:35.person. Someone who is certainly better than the average Joe Bloggs
:24:35. > :24:42.is one of the officers in the met. We can see him in action now.
:24:42. > :24:51.Name is Idris Barder. I'm a detention officer. Some of my
:24:51. > :24:56.duties involve popping in prisoners, -- and booking in prisoners. He is
:24:56. > :24:59.also one of the Met's super recognise us. When you deal with
:24:59. > :25:06.prisoners every day, you tend to see them and recognise your regular
:25:06. > :25:15.clients that come in. A recognised people by their stance, the way
:25:15. > :25:21.they walk, if they have a high forehead, low forehead, years, many
:25:21. > :25:29.factors come into it. Even if the pictures are grainy, when you see
:25:29. > :25:34.this person coming to custody year after year, you just know who it is.
:25:34. > :25:41.And you do with the the juveniles. I love shoes, so we get into
:25:41. > :25:46.talking about trainers and so one, the latest fashion craze. If I us
:25:46. > :25:54.the a certain time of clothing, and then the face, I notice him.
:25:54. > :25:59.Idris's success rate is impressive. Last year I was up to about 132
:25:59. > :26:06.there had positively identified. My dad's as I always processed useless
:26:06. > :26:09.information, but I guess this is information people need now. While.
:26:09. > :26:15.One impressive guy that I certainly wouldn't want to get on the wrong
:26:15. > :26:19.side of. You must be pleased when you see officers working at? I am,
:26:19. > :26:26.because he is not only doing his job, he is taking it to the extra
:26:26. > :26:32.stage. He is bringing even more offenders to justice by picking
:26:32. > :26:37.them out on the CCTV. It is good work. And josh, you have a little
:26:37. > :26:44.test, and I know you want me to do it. Talk me through this. This is
:26:44. > :26:50.an array test. Look at the screen, and a face will appear. I haven't
:26:50. > :26:56.seen that before. OK, so I have seen that for probably about one
:26:56. > :27:00.second! Now I would like you to follow me, and I'm going to show
:27:00. > :27:06.you eight different faces. I want you to decide whether you can spot
:27:06. > :27:11.the face that you have just seen, or tell me that he is not there.
:27:11. > :27:17.Well, obviously they look very, very different. I am not actually
:27:18. > :27:21.sure that he is on there at all. I'm going to say he's not there.
:27:21. > :27:27.Unfortunately you are wrong, but that isn't surprising. It is in
:27:27. > :27:32.fact number five. Someone like Idris tends to get nearly all of
:27:32. > :27:36.these right. Most people, we would expect to get about half of these
:27:36. > :27:44.right. This is the sort of simple test that we do with these police
:27:44. > :27:49.officers. We have got other people doing this, like a dress. We have
:27:49. > :27:55.civilians staff as well, and we are driving to get more from CCTV,
:27:55. > :28:02.along with that the Super recognises. We want to catch more
:28:02. > :28:08.criminals. Thank you both for joining us. Back to Nicola.
:28:08. > :28:15.Thanks, Rav. Our next appeal is a terrible case of animal cruelty
:28:15. > :28:23.that the RSPCA would like to help with. This is A phantom, and she
:28:23. > :28:27.was shot in the head with an air rifle. Helen is Phantom's owner,
:28:27. > :28:33.and Inspector Lewis is from the RSPCA. Phantom can't be with us,
:28:33. > :28:37.she is not very well. She started becoming lethargic, and
:28:38. > :28:43.continuously sneezing. We took her to the vet, and they were at that
:28:43. > :28:47.stage quite pleased that it wasn't just infection. It didn't clear up,
:28:47. > :28:51.the sneezing became more prominent, so she went back in for some
:28:51. > :28:56.investigation work, had some X-rays and a spoke with the vet and was
:28:56. > :29:02.told it was quite sinister, and she had been shot in the head. How did
:29:02. > :29:09.you feel? I was horrified, devastated and really quite shocked.
:29:09. > :29:16.And how is she now? She has survived, but she is extremely
:29:16. > :29:19.traumatised. She is always hiding, and she is still under the vet for
:29:19. > :29:25.antibiotics. Let's talk to inspector Phil Lewis. Is this
:29:25. > :29:31.something you have come across before? Yes, it is. It is something
:29:31. > :29:35.in the North and Mid Wales area the duties increasing. Cats are being
:29:35. > :29:42.shot. This is the natural palette that was taken from behind
:29:42. > :29:48.phantom's jaw. If the person is caught that has done this, they
:29:48. > :29:52.could face a fine of �20,000 or a term in prison. Any information, we
:29:52. > :30:01.want to hear from them. They include both very much for joining
:30:01. > :30:07.us, and we hope that phantom makes They think they've got away with it,
:30:07. > :30:13.but can you help find these faces caught on CCTV: earlier this year
:30:13. > :30:19.it in Londonderry, and the woman in a hat is on a mission.
:30:19. > :30:23.She keeps on piling up but trolley. Note the you laundry baskets which
:30:23. > :30:27.will come in useful later. She removes each secured to turgor
:30:27. > :30:32.until she is ready to part of the bedding into the baskets. She then
:30:32. > :30:39.leaves the shop with nothing. She comes back in search of hers - and
:30:39. > :30:44.puts it near the door. She leaves again, this time, with a back. Now
:30:44. > :30:54.she is finally ready to complete her task. She comes back in and
:30:54. > :30:54.
:30:54. > :30:59.grabs it. Genially fails when the doors do not open. -- she neil lee
:30:59. > :31:05.nearly. A supermarket in Portsmouth, April
:31:05. > :31:12.this year. These two do not seem to be together but since they start
:31:12. > :31:18.stocking items into their jackets. Police estimate around �70 of stuff
:31:18. > :31:23.was taken. Remember them? You will be seeing them again.
:31:23. > :31:29.Here they are. The same supermarket, five days later. Again, they don't
:31:29. > :31:36.acknowledge each other but soon the man in a cap starts putting food
:31:36. > :31:42.into his jacket. Then he takes a newspaper to the top and actually
:31:42. > :31:51.pays for it before leaving. What about the rest! This time police
:31:51. > :31:54.estimate they get away with around �100. Do you know them?
:31:54. > :32:02.Your calls really count. So if you have any information about those
:32:02. > :32:07.crimes, call us. The details are on the screen. Back to Dave in Newtown.
:32:07. > :32:12.Most of us have a computer and telephone and the latest scam
:32:12. > :32:16.involves both. You get a call from somebody claiming to be from a
:32:16. > :32:21.computer company telling you there could be a major problem. They say
:32:21. > :32:26.switch it on, log on to my particular website. That gives them
:32:26. > :32:31.access to your details. They could then say, you need to pay for some
:32:31. > :32:38.software costing hundreds. The money disappears, there is no
:32:38. > :32:44.software, there never was a problem. However, when you're on the phone,
:32:44. > :32:49.what was going through your mind? was very worried this would cost a
:32:49. > :32:56.lot of money because their was some really big problem with by computer.
:32:56. > :33:02.The he was threatening you. Sadly, you parted with over �500. I and
:33:02. > :33:07.you are not going to see that money again. No. How did it make you
:33:07. > :33:14.feel? Very angry, very angry. This is why I am here today to prevent
:33:14. > :33:19.other people falling for the same thing. You investigate this kind of
:33:19. > :33:25.fraud, how common is it? Unfortunately it is on the increase,
:33:25. > :33:29.a 50% increase with us in this area. That is why we are starting this
:33:30. > :33:39.awareness campaign, to get people talking, to prevent people becoming
:33:39. > :33:48.victims might have a house. What is your advice? -- victims like
:33:48. > :33:55.Heather. Do not engage in any conversation, be firm. Be strong.
:33:55. > :34:04.Put the phone down. Do not engage in conversation. Genuine companies
:34:04. > :34:10.do not bring you up like this. Last year, 600 pardoned immigrants
:34:10. > :34:15.moved to the UK and they did so legally. However, for the small
:34:15. > :34:20.minority of those who came here and illegally, or work here illegally,
:34:20. > :34:25.it is up to the UK Border Agency to track them down. I went out with
:34:25. > :34:30.offices on an operation in Aberystwyth.
:34:30. > :34:40.You might think immigration rates only happen in the cities, but this
:34:40. > :34:40.
:34:40. > :34:46.is Aberystwyth. I am joining the Border Agency team responsible for
:34:46. > :34:55.the area here. On businesses suspected of employing illegal
:34:55. > :35:04.workers. The first premises, we need to visit, speak to the staff
:35:04. > :35:09.to identify this individual and ascertain his immigration status.
:35:09. > :35:16.What is the situation? We have come into the princes and identified
:35:16. > :35:22.four people here. The police officers are getting information.
:35:22. > :35:28.Following that, we do checks on their immigration status. Name,
:35:28. > :35:35.date of birth. Also if they can produce documents to confirm their
:35:35. > :35:45.nationality, it immigration status. Once we receive those, we have
:35:45. > :35:50.staff we can conduct to conduct -- to make checks. I am arresting you
:35:50. > :35:54.on suspicion of overstaying in the United Kingdom. We will take you
:35:54. > :35:59.from here to the police station. well as investigating the
:35:59. > :36:02.individual workers, the Border Agency also looks at whether the
:36:02. > :36:06.businesses in question have acted correctly. This business may not
:36:06. > :36:10.have done anything wrong, but now there has been an arrest, the
:36:10. > :36:14.police officers will look into the case. Employers have a duty to
:36:14. > :36:20.check potential employees's documents to make sure they have
:36:20. > :36:27.the right to work here. If the employer breaks the law, they could
:36:27. > :36:31.face a fine of �10,000, or prison. Second visit of the day,

:36:36. > :36:41.When we get to the premises, if you can make your way into the
:36:41. > :36:49.restaurant to the kitchen area. And there is a side alley, make your
:36:49. > :36:55.way down there. There are a couple of doors. Are you the manager?
:36:55. > :37:00.We're from the UK Border Agency. Do you have any staff records? We have
:37:00. > :37:08.been asked to leave by the man in charge. The Border Agency officers
:37:08. > :37:14.are inside carrying out their work. Kennedy was an update? -- can you
:37:14. > :37:19.give us an update. One of the persons appears to be working in
:37:19. > :37:29.breach of the easier conditions. She has kindly agreed to go back to
:37:29. > :37:31.
:37:31. > :37:40.her house to ride her passport. -- to provide her passport.
:37:40. > :37:45.She has presented us with her Chinese passport. That confirms she
:37:45. > :37:51.has a visa which is valid until November at this year. But at the
:37:51. > :37:54.bottom of the visa, it does state, no work, or recourse to public
:37:54. > :37:59.funds. She will have been fully aware she's not allowed to work in
:37:59. > :38:04.this country. It may seem straight but it is done in the interest of
:38:04. > :38:08.the employees. The usual laws which protect safety in the workplace are
:38:08. > :38:12.usually ignored when it comes to illegal workers. Not the case here
:38:12. > :38:19.but the employer will have to prove they took appropriate steps to
:38:19. > :38:24.check the worker was legal. The evening is drawing in and the
:38:24. > :38:34.team make their last visit of the day. You have a Portuguese
:38:34. > :38:35.
:38:35. > :38:42.passport? Stand up for me?
:38:42. > :38:47.This machine will help give us a photograph of the person, details
:38:47. > :38:51.of when we encountered them last. Specific references for us to put
:38:51. > :38:55.into our database. In this restaurant, the police
:38:55. > :38:59.officers make more arrests, two men who entered the country illegally,
:38:59. > :39:03.one man who had breached the conditions of his student visa,
:39:03. > :39:07.bringing the total for the day up to five. The restaurant baby
:39:07. > :39:15.innocent of any wrongdoing. But all of the people arrested will now be
:39:15. > :39:19.detained pending deportation. An update, since we made that film,
:39:19. > :39:24.two of the people arrested have been deported, two are awaiting
:39:24. > :39:28.deportation, the third is on immigration bail. The UK Border
:39:28. > :39:31.Agency is looking into the situation of the employers and they
:39:31. > :39:35.could face a penalty if they did not take all reasonable steps to

:40:14. > :40:23.them against immigration databases. If you apply for its Visa, you will

:40:29. > :40:34.you're left finger. I will take your photograph. That will take 10
:40:34. > :40:41.seconds. That goes back to a database to see if I am known. Have
:40:41. > :40:48.you got a result? Just to prove it to review body! That means I am
:40:48. > :40:52.here perfectly legally. How many of these raids do you carry out?
:40:52. > :41:00.are out every day of the week targeting residential and business
:41:00. > :41:06.addresses, individuals. We are after illegal workers. We act on
