:00:42. > :00:51.driver who left an expectant mother Hello and welcome to Crimewatch
:00:51. > :00:54.Roadshow. We're live and kicking off our second week on air with an
:00:54. > :00:58.action packed programme. We're going to be asking for your help to
:00:58. > :01:06.solve everyday crime that affects us all. We have had our first
:01:06. > :01:11.arrest. More on that later. On the Roadshow today: The phone scam
:01:11. > :01:15.which left Roy thousands of pounds out of pocket. Finding evidence in
:01:15. > :01:20.the fight against crime. The specialist team searching on land
:01:20. > :01:26.and in water. Police want your help to find a driver who hit a pregnant
:01:26. > :01:30.woman and then drove away. Last week we were in the North West of
:01:30. > :01:33.England and today our team out on the road has travelled south to
:01:33. > :01:43.Sussex, way down South. Our presenter, Dave Guest, is rearing
:01:43. > :01:44.
:01:44. > :01:47.to go, aren't you? Where are you? We're in the very pretty village of
:01:47. > :01:53.Alfriston, which is around 15 miles from Brighton, where Sussex Police
:01:53. > :01:56.are pioneering a Community Policing Project. It is very busy here this
:01:56. > :02:02.morning because we've got the specialist search unit from Sussex
:02:02. > :02:05.Police here. And joining me on the team whilst we're in Sussex is
:02:05. > :02:13.Colin Campbell, BBC South East's home affairs correspondent. He's
:02:13. > :02:23.going to set these guys a challenge. Thanks, Dave. I have got my wedding
:02:23. > :02:26.ring. I will see if this lot can find it later in the programme.
:02:26. > :02:29.Right, let's get on with our first appeal of the week. Just down the
:02:29. > :02:32.road from here is the seaside town of Eastbourne where, in February
:02:32. > :02:39.this year, the actions of one careless driver put a life of an
:02:39. > :02:45.unborn child in jeopardy. My son was screaming in the car. I was
:02:45. > :02:49.shaking. I started to cry. I felt a sharp pain. On February 20th, the
:02:49. > :02:55.driver of the Vauxhall Astra was about to put a pregnant women and
:02:55. > :03:01.the life of her unborn baby at risk. It was an exciting time. Fatima was
:03:01. > :03:06.35 weeks pregnant with her second child. It was an exciting time.
:03:06. > :03:10.Harris was looking forward to having a baby brother or sister. He
:03:10. > :03:15.was looking forward to it. He knew that mum was going to go to
:03:15. > :03:20.hospital and come back with a baby. It was time to go home. Fatima put
:03:20. > :03:27.her son in his car seat for the journey. I had been at a friend's
:03:27. > :03:33.house. I had made my way home. I parked outside the house. She could
:03:33. > :03:38.not begin to imagine what was about to happen. At a went to get my son
:03:38. > :03:48.out of the car. It was on the roadside. I went to open the door
:03:48. > :03:49.
:03:49. > :03:54.and take my son out. I've just heard a car screaming down the road.
:03:54. > :04:04.Careering down the road, the driver of this ill that Astra slammed into
:04:04. > :04:07.
:04:07. > :04:17.the open door. -- the silver Astra. It crashed me into the door frame.
:04:17. > :04:22.I felt a sharp pain in my bump and I screamed out. The car sped off.
:04:22. > :04:27.The driver screeched to a halt further up the road. But the driver
:04:27. > :04:33.was not in the mood to stop. waited for a few moments and then
:04:33. > :04:37.sped off down the road. The driver waited a few seconds, then he drove
:04:37. > :04:47.off into the night, leaving a heavily pregnant woman hat and
:04:47. > :04:48.
:04:48. > :04:54.distraught. He left a vital clue. He smashed his wing mirror. A Good
:04:54. > :05:00.Samaritan walking his job rush to help. There was a man at the top of
:05:00. > :05:04.the road walking his dog. He came running back down the road. Luckily
:05:04. > :05:10.the double can notice the wing mirror had been smashed off.
:05:10. > :05:15.moved me to the side of the road. He picked up the wing mirror and
:05:15. > :05:22.put it on the pavement next to me. He was asking me, are you all
:05:22. > :05:32.right? I was in complete shock. My son was screaming in the car. He
:05:32. > :05:36.was frightened. I was shaking and I started to cry. Shall I call for an
:05:36. > :05:41.ambulance? Do not worry. I am completely fine. I could not
:05:41. > :05:48.believe I had been hit by a car and he had not come back of round to
:05:48. > :05:55.see how I was. Fatima convinced that "she was fine and he headed
:05:55. > :06:03.off. Very soon she realised everything was not OK. And went to
:06:03. > :06:09.pick up my son. I felt a sharp pain. I thought, I am not OK. She called
:06:09. > :06:13.her husband to come to her aid. Now all she could do was wait. Over the
:06:13. > :06:20.next few hours, she would have to face the possibility that she might
:06:20. > :06:25.lose her baby. And we'll find out what happened next later in the
:06:25. > :06:29.programme. Now reporting on crime in this area is a major part of my
:06:29. > :06:31.job as home affairs correspondent in the South East. And we've been
:06:31. > :06:41.talking to Chief Constable Martin Richards about the challenges of
:06:41. > :06:50.
:06:51. > :06:57.From the City of brighten up on the south coast come up all the way
:06:57. > :07:02.along the A23, up to Gatwick International Airport, the county's
:07:02. > :07:10.force have their hands full. -- Brighton place macro on the south
:07:10. > :07:13.coast, are all the way along. 93 miles from east to west. Gatwick
:07:13. > :07:20.Airport has 30 million visitors every year coming through the
:07:20. > :07:23.airport. We have good, strong, local neighbourhood policing.
:07:23. > :07:31.Specialist crime team still with more sophisticated, challenging
:07:31. > :07:36.areas of crime. We want to achieve the servants Year of crime
:07:36. > :07:44.reduction, against a backdrop of cuts and challenges we have never
:07:44. > :07:47.faced before. -- 7th year. It has its work cut out. Policing the
:07:47. > :07:51.county is more demanding than ever. A challenging time for forces
:07:51. > :07:55.across the country. So let's give them a hand and help them out by
:07:55. > :07:58.tracking down these Wanted Faces. First up this week is James Hannon.
:07:58. > :08:01.He was charged with an offence of aggravated burglary involving a
:08:01. > :08:04.firearm back in 2003 but failed to appear before Croydon Crown Court.
:08:05. > :08:07.Detectives believe he may now be living in Ireland but he also has
:08:08. > :08:15.connections to the Tonbridge Wells area in Kent. Have you seen him
:08:15. > :08:21.recently? Please let us know where he is. This man, Jelenko Petkovic,
:08:21. > :08:23.uses many different names, He was charged back in the year
:08:23. > :08:26.2000 with violence and firearms offences but didn't turn up in
:08:26. > :08:29.court. He's known to have connections to the Derbyshire,
:08:29. > :08:32.Warwickshire and Staffordshire areas. Now this photo was taken a
:08:32. > :08:38.few years ago, so his appearance may have changed. Do you know where
:08:38. > :08:41.he is? Now let's take a look at this man, Steven Brown. He was
:08:41. > :08:44.arrested in May 2010 on suspicion of breaching a Sexual Offences
:08:44. > :08:47.Prevention Order and was released on police bail but then went
:08:47. > :08:53.missing. He has a noticeable West Country accent and still has
:08:53. > :08:56.connections in the Wiltshire and Bristol areas. And the last one for
:08:56. > :08:59.today is Azwar Abdul Amin. Have you seen him recently? He was convicted
:08:59. > :09:02.in December 2006 of attempted kidnap and actual bodily harm but
:09:02. > :09:05.failed to turn up in court to be sentenced. He is originally from
:09:05. > :09:08.Iraq but is known to have connections to the Blackburn area
:09:08. > :09:12.and is described as being heavily built. Where is he? Please let us
:09:12. > :09:22.know. If you recognise him or any of these faces, the number to call
:09:22. > :09:25.Or text us. Text CW, space, and then your message. And please,
:09:25. > :09:35.leave the space or your message won't get through to us. Or e-mail
:09:35. > :09:41.
:09:41. > :09:44.us. Don't forget, all the wanted Now there is nothing more annoying
:09:44. > :09:47.than rushing to pick up the phone only to have someone trying to sell
:09:47. > :09:50.you something, but much worse are those calls from the telephone
:09:50. > :10:00.scammers who just want to steal your money. Here is what happened
:10:00. > :10:12.
:10:12. > :10:21.Oh, it is you again. My dad does not deserve this. I do not know how
:10:21. > :10:26.anybody can do this to someone like my father. You want �200 to release
:10:26. > :10:29.my money? It is not until the victims are aware they are being
:10:29. > :10:39.scanned that the scam has rarely show their true colours and start
:10:39. > :10:45.to become nasty. Since the Roy Watkins retired, he has led a quiet
:10:45. > :10:55.life in Chichester. In the year 11 Macro, his world was turned upside
:10:55. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:12.down. -- in 2000 -- in 2011, his They wanted �200 from an account
:11:12. > :11:17.from a cash voucher to get money released. Hello. I am calling from
:11:17. > :11:23.the Ministry of Justice. The people on the phone claimed they had
:11:23. > :11:31.�5,000 for Roy in overpaid bank charges. In order to get that money,
:11:31. > :11:36.they were it -- he would have to pay �200 admin fee. I thought the
:11:36. > :11:42.money would be very useful and I could help Elizabeth, who is going
:11:42. > :11:48.through a rough patch. The man on the phone told him to pay the money
:11:48. > :11:52.using Ukash vouchers. They are widely available in shops across
:11:52. > :11:59.the UK. They can be cashed by anyone knowing the unique number
:11:59. > :12:04.printed on each one. The beauty of them is they have virtually
:12:04. > :12:08.untraceable. He rang to see if I had got the voucher. I told him I
:12:08. > :12:15.had. He said, can you give me the number of it? That means giving the
:12:15. > :12:25.money to him, doesn't it? Having got their money, they came back for
:12:25. > :12:30.more. The following day he rang up a game. He wanted further money. It
:12:30. > :12:34.amounted to �250. -- again. This time they asked him to pay through
:12:35. > :12:41.Western Union. His local outlet was suspicious but he was keen to help
:12:42. > :12:51.his daughter, so he took a taxi to the brunch in Bognor Regis. The �20
:12:51. > :12:57.taxi ride was something a pensioner like Roy and hard. He tried to
:12:57. > :13:00.cover up the extent of his spending from his own family. My dad was
:13:00. > :13:06.hard-working and worked all his life. He had the biggest heart of
:13:06. > :13:12.anyone I have ever met. He does not deserve this to happen to him at
:13:12. > :13:19.all. It had a profound effect on him. He became a stranger. I did
:13:19. > :13:25.not know him. By now, they had been calling Roy for every day for
:13:25. > :13:31.months. Finally he realised he was never going to get his �5,000.
:13:31. > :13:37.was desperate. I rang the police. They advised me not to hand over
:13:37. > :13:41.any more money because it was a scam. I had realised it was by that
:13:41. > :13:45.time. We carried out an investigation. After a few weeks,
:13:45. > :13:53.we established the ministry of justice were not making these phone
:13:54. > :13:59.calls and they were scanners who are contacting victims. I did say,
:13:59. > :14:05.when he phoned again, there was no more money. If I had got any, I was
:14:05. > :14:09.keeping it in my pocket and he could go away. He did not like that.
:14:09. > :14:15.He got abusive and called me everything under the sun and I put
:14:15. > :14:21.the phone turned on him in the end. I have not heard from him since.
:14:21. > :14:26.simply do not know how much money Roy has lost. His family think, it
:14:26. > :14:32.could be thousands. From the paperwork that Mr Watkins has given
:14:32. > :14:39.us, we can see from just one month he has paid out �600 to them. This
:14:39. > :14:45.is just the tip of the iceberg. He probably has paid out in the region
:14:45. > :14:53.of �3,000. They do not realise what a profound effect - not that they
:14:53. > :14:56.care - but they do not realise what effect it has on people, not only
:14:57. > :15:06.food they are doing this crime against, but the fact they're
:15:07. > :15:07.
:15:07. > :15:14.destroying families. -- who they Seeing somebody like Roy being
:15:14. > :15:18.taken advantage of like that makes us all angry. I am now joined by
:15:18. > :15:26.Tom Clack. You have a range of scam letters that have been sent to
:15:26. > :15:36.people. This was sent by somebody who calls themselves Stella
:15:36. > :15:36.
:15:36. > :15:40.Enginestone. -- Angelstone. They say that all you have to do to get
:15:40. > :15:47.the money in the next few days is send and �40. This is typical of
:15:47. > :15:51.what you see on a daily basis? much so. Unfortunately, the bank
:15:52. > :15:55.charges can that Roy became a victim of his very common. And
:15:55. > :16:00.payment protection scams that require Ukash vouchers for the
:16:00. > :16:04.payments to be made. Tell us about these vouchers, because these are
:16:04. > :16:10.legitimate, but it is just that some were using them as a scam?
:16:10. > :16:14.Absolutely. A Ukash voucher is a totally legitimate way to make a
:16:14. > :16:20.payment online. Unfortunately, criminals have been using them to
:16:20. > :16:26.trick people into making payments to them. With Ukash, the clue is in
:16:26. > :16:30.the name. People should treat it like cash. We saw in the film that
:16:30. > :16:34.Roy's daughter did not know what was going on. It is there any
:16:34. > :16:38.advice you could give to family members are worried that an elderly
:16:38. > :16:43.relative or somebody vulnerable is being scammed? If it is difficult
:16:43. > :16:48.because they will encourage their victims to keep things secret for
:16:48. > :16:52.obvious reasons. But family members can be vigilant. Is that person
:16:52. > :16:57.receiving a lot of phone calls from strangers? Are the receiving a lot
:16:57. > :17:03.of junk mail? And if somebody is being uncharacteristically guarded
:17:03. > :17:07.about their finances or telephone calls they are receiving. All of
:17:07. > :17:13.this vital signs, and it is typical that these scammers do not send one
:17:13. > :17:20.letter. So keep an eye out for your relatives. There is this term I
:17:20. > :17:24.know you do not like and we call it the "sucker list". I don't like
:17:24. > :17:30.that because of what it applies about the victims, but essentially
:17:30. > :17:35.it is a target list. If you respond to a scam, you will be put on a
:17:35. > :17:40.target list and that will be shared with like minded criminals. So that
:17:40. > :17:43.victim could find themselves being repeatedly targeted. Says somebody
:17:43. > :17:48.gets a letter they are not too sure about and it sounds too good to be
:17:48. > :17:52.true. What should they do? I would encourage anybody who thinks they
:17:52. > :17:55.have been a victim of a scammed or is not sure about something they
:17:55. > :17:59.have received to contact their local Trading Standards department
:17:59. > :18:05.we can help them from there. you can help them and they will not
:18:05. > :18:10.get into trouble if they have not done anything wrong?
:18:11. > :18:15.Next up, it is time for our first batch of crooks caught on CCTV.
:18:15. > :18:18.A service station in Aldershot, Hampshire, in February this year.
:18:18. > :18:24.They break in and head straight for the cigarettes. They managed to
:18:24. > :18:29.take them quickly and put them in a sheet. Getting out proves more
:18:29. > :18:33.challenging. They take more than �10,000 worth of cigarettes. Police
:18:33. > :18:39.need to smoke these thieves out. If you recognise them, you know what
:18:39. > :18:44.to do. A phone shop in Kilburn High Road,
:18:44. > :18:49.London. This man wants a new mobile and checks out the new �300 Sony
:18:49. > :18:58.Eriksson. He takes his time, checking that is the model he wants.
:18:58. > :19:04.Hmm, he is not Shaw. Actually, what he has been doing is detaching the
:19:04. > :19:12.phone. He takes it off that display and casually use the shop. If you
:19:12. > :19:17.recognise him, don't be laid back about getting in touch.
:19:17. > :19:22.The last one for now - it is 29th February this year and this bloke
:19:22. > :19:27.is making the most of the extra leap year day. He drops into a shop
:19:27. > :19:32.in Richmond, Surrey. He asks to see an expensive watch and goes away
:19:32. > :19:37.without buying anything. But the next day he is back and wants to
:19:37. > :19:44.see the �5,000 watch it again, and this time, he grabs it and runs. If
:19:44. > :19:49.you recognise this crook, call time on him.
:19:49. > :19:53.So, recognise anyone? If so, get in touch. Plenty more to come on the
:19:53. > :19:59.programme. A pregnant woman fears for her
:19:59. > :20:05.unborn child after a hit-and-run. And the tough police divers are
:20:05. > :20:09.trained to search in the most challenging conditions.
:20:09. > :20:14.Remember, I was going to hide my wedding ring and it is now well and
:20:14. > :20:19.truly hidden in this area. Behind me you can see a fine fingertip
:20:19. > :20:24.search is underway. These guys of from the Specialist Search Unit and
:20:24. > :20:28.I have recently joined them on an underwater training session.
:20:28. > :20:33.Despite research unit arrives at Shoreham Harbour, 10 miles west of
:20:33. > :20:38.Brighton. It is a regular visit. For the unit, training here is
:20:38. > :20:41.crucial. Today, the team is practising underwater search
:20:41. > :20:45.techniques so when the real call comes in, they will be fully
:20:45. > :20:54.prepared. The team is made up of eight divers who regularly search
:20:54. > :20:59.for missing people and evidence. They are on call 247. The purpose
:20:59. > :21:06.of these training exercises is to keep us on our toes and heighten
:21:06. > :21:09.our skills. Most of the time, the team is asked to set rivers and
:21:09. > :21:17.ponds but they trained here in the harbour so they can be ready for
:21:17. > :21:20.the most difficult of dives. have got the depth, the lack of
:21:20. > :21:25.visibility, you are along the bottom and you cannot feel because
:21:25. > :21:33.you are wearing gloves, and she was kicking up or of the silt, so
:21:33. > :21:40.visibility is reduced to zero. -- you are kicking up all the silt.
:21:40. > :21:47.Let's see how long it takes them to find this. Here goes. Michelle will
:21:47. > :21:54.be searching for the knife. A gun is thrown in, too, and Rick will
:21:54. > :21:57.look for that. We are using one of the 12 diving techniques. Ago I
:21:57. > :22:05.will go along the bottom with a line and search as he goes along
:22:05. > :22:11.the line. -- a guy will go along the line. How difficult will it be?
:22:11. > :22:17.Very difficult. He will not be able to see very much. Visibility is
:22:17. > :22:27.around zero. The divers are able to keep in constant contact with the
:22:27. > :22:34.
:22:34. > :22:42.surface. Have you spotted the knife It takes Michelle just 20 minutes
:22:42. > :22:49.to find the knife. She is used to difficult conditions. Roger!
:22:50. > :22:57.Sometimes we have to go out in snow wee, icy conditions, where it is
:22:57. > :23:01.minus three outside. -- snowy conditions. Getting kitted out and
:23:01. > :23:06.going to the river is horrendous enough. Torrential rain and quite
:23:07. > :23:12.often I would prefer to be in the water because it is warmer! And a
:23:12. > :23:17.few minutes later, which comes up to the surface with the gun. --
:23:17. > :23:23.grip. That was obviously a training exercise. How does that compare to
:23:23. > :23:29.the real thing? That training exercise, if we miss it, we go out
:23:29. > :23:34.later on and maybe find it again. But on a live exercise, you have to
:23:34. > :23:38.find it. That is why we are here. But all too often, the team face an
:23:38. > :23:42.even more difficult challenge - searching for a body. In a case
:23:42. > :23:45.when you have a body and it has gone missing and you have to go
:23:45. > :23:51.into the water to retrieve the body, bringing the body back to the
:23:51. > :23:56.family, that is extremely important. Very sensitive. With young children,
:23:56. > :24:01.it is very tough. Everybody is very sober about it all. Normally that
:24:01. > :24:05.means the family is quite close by. The idea is to bring a successful
:24:05. > :24:09.conclusion to the case, either to bring closure to the family's or if
:24:09. > :24:19.the case is an investigation, a criminal investigation, to provide
:24:19. > :24:20.
:24:20. > :24:25.and recover evidence that cannot be recovered by any other means.
:24:25. > :24:30.in 2008, the team's skills were tested to the limit by the
:24:30. > :24:36.disappearance of this woman. We had to search places like the cesspit
:24:36. > :24:40.of the House concerned. There was a number of deep wells on the forest
:24:40. > :24:45.we had to make sure there was nothing in them. The search team
:24:45. > :24:51.moved on to search by an's home and discovered two key pieces of
:24:51. > :24:55.evidence. -- Diane's home. They found a bloodstained watch and ring.
:24:55. > :24:59.The police they knew they were hunting the killer and the make-up
:24:59. > :25:04.artist's husband was convicted of her murder. The work of the
:25:04. > :25:08.Specialist Search Unit was integral and essential to this investigation.
:25:08. > :25:13.The skills and expertise they bring to an investigation is very
:25:13. > :25:18.reassuring -- are very reassuring to a senior officer. The evidence
:25:18. > :25:23.they found on this occasion was significant in the arrest. It is
:25:23. > :25:27.rewarded when you find something that is relevant to an
:25:27. > :25:33.investigation. -- it is rewarding. It is a good feeling that you have
:25:33. > :25:38.actually found the item they are looking for. Here on dry land, the
:25:38. > :25:44.search for Colin's wedding ring continues. My camera manos where
:25:44. > :25:49.the ring is and I know as well. We can show you here. But they don't.
:25:49. > :25:54.They have got to find it. I am joined by Darren. Is what we are
:25:54. > :25:59.seeing here typical? Yes. The officers are advancing forward on
:25:59. > :26:05.their knees and using their fingers to search. It is what we call a
:26:05. > :26:10.systematic fingertip search. cover all of the ground? Yes.
:26:10. > :26:13.do the white markers signify? show the area the officers have
:26:13. > :26:19.already searched, so we know that when we move on, an area has been
:26:19. > :26:25.covered so we can move into a new area. It is painstaking work and if
:26:25. > :26:29.we just go down here but now I will have a word with one of these
:26:29. > :26:34.people. We saw your film in your diving gear and you are now on the
:26:34. > :26:40.ground. How long would you carry out a search for? Typically 45
:26:40. > :26:47.minutes to and hour. It is also dependent on the weather, if it is
:26:47. > :26:52.too pot, cold. Does your mind sometimes become a haze? It can do,
:26:52. > :26:57.and that is why it is essential to take breaks. It must take its toll
:26:57. > :27:03.on your knees and back? Yes, you get sore unease at the end of the
:27:04. > :27:06.day. I will refuse to it, because the search for the wedding -- I
:27:07. > :27:15.will leave you to it because the search for the wedding ring
:27:15. > :27:19.continues. And you have used this previously? Yes. We have to search
:27:19. > :27:24.a rural area before after an incident that had taken place and
:27:24. > :27:30.we were looking for an knife. During the search, as the officers
:27:30. > :27:36.went forward, we found the knife. Hidden in the undergrowth? And then
:27:37. > :27:40.they can get evidence from DNA, so your work is crucial? Absolutely.
:27:40. > :27:44.Back-breaking but enjoyable? Yes. It is a lovely feeling when you
:27:44. > :27:50.find something, especially when it is vital evidence to something that
:27:50. > :27:53.has taken place. Thank you very much. Back to Colin.
:27:53. > :28:00.Back to the shocking hit-and-run that left an expectant mother
:28:00. > :28:05.frightened for her baby's life. On February 20th this year, the
:28:05. > :28:11.driver of a silver Astra slammed into the side door of Fatimah's car,
:28:12. > :28:16.crushing her and her unborn child. The driver sped off, leading
:28:16. > :28:24.Fatimah in terrible pain. She phoned her husband for help. --
:28:24. > :28:29.leaving Fatimah. I said, I have just been hit by a car, can you
:28:29. > :28:32.come quickly? And I started to have a lot of pain. My son was screaming
:28:32. > :28:37.and I was panicking and I was thinking, I have got to get to
:28:37. > :28:41.hospital. Within minutes, her husband arrived. As soon as he came
:28:41. > :28:45.and opened the door, I started crying again. Concerned for his
:28:45. > :28:50.wife and unborn baby, he took them straight to hospital at Eastbourne.
:28:50. > :28:55.I was sitting in the back of a car and my husband, I think he was
:28:55. > :28:59.really worried. We are nearly there, hold on! Because I could not feel
:28:59. > :29:03.any movement. I could feel pain and you wonder how much of that
:29:03. > :29:07.impacted the baby. Did it hit the baby's head? Not knowing what might
:29:07. > :29:11.be wrong and might happen now because of this. Her husband took
:29:11. > :29:14.her straight up to the local hospital. She was in the maternity
:29:15. > :29:20.department in Eastbourne and she was having some monitors placed on
:29:20. > :29:24.her to make sure she was a crate and the baby was OK. -- she was OK.
:29:24. > :29:28.But the doctors became increasingly concerned. They said the heartbeat
:29:28. > :29:32.was fine but I was having contractions and they were coming
:29:32. > :29:37.quite regularly. They gave me a steroid injection, which helps to
:29:37. > :29:41.mature the baby's lungs in case it had difficulty breathing. And I was
:29:41. > :29:46.panicking thinking, I am not ready to have this baby. Fatimah was in
:29:46. > :29:49.and out of hospital for the next four Day is having tests, and when
:29:49. > :29:54.she started having just pains, doctors were worried this could
:29:54. > :29:57.indicate a blood clot. Police were trying to look for the silver Astra.
:29:57. > :30:02.I think the driver of the other car involved would have known what
:30:03. > :30:07.happened that day. In any situation, you think, who would hit somebody
:30:07. > :30:17.and knowingly take off? There is no doubt they could not know they hit
:30:17. > :30:18.
:30:18. > :30:25.This could have been more serious. There could have been a greater
:30:25. > :30:31.injury to her or her unborn child. I could have been hit directly by
:30:31. > :30:38.the car. I could have been holding my son and he could have been hurt.
:30:39. > :30:44.Despite the trauma, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Layla was
:30:44. > :30:50.born on 14th May. She was born completely normal delivery and
:30:50. > :30:55.everything went really well. Bit of such a shame. I had had such a good
:30:55. > :31:00.pregnancy and it was all remained at the last minute. The last period
:31:00. > :31:09.was so stressful for me. Well, fortunately, this story does have a
:31:09. > :31:15.happy ending and Fatimah joins us now with baby Layla. Is she always
:31:15. > :31:21.back good? 13 weeks. All is well now but you must have had a real
:31:21. > :31:27.worry in hospital after that incident. It was traumatic. I was
:31:27. > :31:34.in and out of hospital. It was ready difficult. You're saying your
:31:34. > :31:41.pregnancy had been an event full up until that point? Yes, really an
:31:41. > :31:49.event full. What do you think about someone who could do that and drive
:31:49. > :31:55.off? Shocking. I screamed out. It is appalling. What do you say to
:31:55. > :32:01.anyone who might know who this person is? Please come forward and
:32:01. > :32:06.give information. Describe your relief when she was born and all
:32:06. > :32:13.was well. It was a massive relief and a lovely surprise because we
:32:13. > :32:19.did not know we were having a girl. You're too year-old son was also in
:32:19. > :32:25.the car. Has he been affected in any way? It was difficult at the
:32:25. > :32:31.time. He is young enough not to have remembered anything. He is
:32:31. > :32:37.still oblivious to everything. PC Richard Hobbs, we saw you in that
:32:37. > :32:43.film. How can our beers helped to track down this driver? From the
:32:43. > :32:50.wing mirror, we know we're looking for a silver box will Astra. There
:32:50. > :32:58.will be a broken passenger side wing mirror. -- Foxall. When did it
:32:58. > :33:05.happen? Around 6:00pm. description of the driver? We do
:33:05. > :33:09.not have that. I will be looking at three offences. The first is
:33:09. > :33:18.driving without due care and attention, per-second for failing
:33:18. > :33:28.to stop and the third failing to report the crash to us. If you want
:33:28. > :33:28.
:33:28. > :33:36.to remain anonymous, Buchan. Call us on: -- you can. Your calls on
:33:36. > :33:40.Friday it led directly to an arrest. We showed you the photo of this man.
:33:40. > :33:46.Within just two hours of the programme, Cambridgeshire Police
:33:46. > :33:52.arrested and later charged him with three counts of fraud. He pleaded
:33:52. > :33:57.guilty on Saturday and is being remanded in custody. He has been
:33:57. > :34:02.arrested by another police force over similar offences. Thank you.
:34:02. > :34:09.Your calls provided that vital piece of information. Police are
:34:09. > :34:14.following up a strong line of inquiry after repeated a robbery in
:34:14. > :34:20.Merseyside. Staff were threatened before the robbers escaped. We have
:34:20. > :34:28.had lots of you giving as good information after week featured on
:34:28. > :34:34.Friday the theft of diggers from a yard. -- we featured. Your calls
:34:34. > :34:40.really do make a difference. Back to Colin. You must be a bit
:34:40. > :34:45.nervous? I am now back with the specialist search unit who have
:34:45. > :34:52.been searching for my wedding ring. Will I be in trouble with the wife
:34:52. > :35:01.or not? It's have a word with PC Darren Middleton. Am I going to get
:35:02. > :35:09.my ring back? I am not too sure. Have you found it? There you go.
:35:09. > :35:14.The wedding ring. Back on my finger. How easy was it to find? It was
:35:14. > :35:20.pretty easy to find that we had to go through our procedures. We
:35:20. > :35:28.managed to locate the item. The sun is out. It is not always like this.
:35:28. > :35:34.Tell us about some of the conditions? We do underwater search,
:35:34. > :35:43.where visibility is widely produced. Research at heights and use robes.
:35:43. > :35:49.You need to have a bit of a head for heights. Also in the confined
:35:49. > :35:57.area and water-borne operations on boats. How do you cope with those
:35:57. > :36:03.conditions? We train barony, like we are doing today. We where the
:36:03. > :36:11.appropriate equipment was dubbed Ashes thoroughly. Is there
:36:11. > :36:17.something special about you guys? - - equipment. -- barony. We all love
:36:17. > :36:22.our job. To do this sort of work you need full concentration all the
:36:22. > :36:29.time and need to be disciplined in what you're doing. You need to be
:36:29. > :36:35.fit as well. Thank you very much. Thank you for finding mine ring.
:36:35. > :36:41.Back to Rav. If there is a needle in a haystack, they would find it.
:36:42. > :36:47.Take a look at this CCTV. November last year in Carphone Warehouse in
:36:47. > :36:54.Wandsworth in London. A man walks in, takes a good look around, he
:36:54. > :37:03.takes a fancy to an iPad, grabs it and makes for the door. Do not let
:37:03. > :37:09.him get away with it! Boots in Cosham, Hampshire, February of this
:37:09. > :37:15.year. This is man is only in the store for a minute. He takes some
:37:15. > :37:21.high-end products off the shelf and puts them in his bag. He got away
:37:21. > :37:30.with over �1,000 worth of cosmetics. Some beauty regime! If you know him,
:37:30. > :37:38.let us know. Next, August last year, and these two picked up at the
:37:38. > :37:44.Milton Keynes branch of Ikea. The store is closed. These two tried to
:37:44. > :37:50.cover up while they pull the CCTV off the wall. They give us the
:37:50. > :37:56.great look at one of them. Next day, up more than 77 Grand was missing
:37:56. > :38:01.from the safe. Ikea is offering a reward of up to �5,000 for
:38:01. > :38:10.information leading up to rape conviction. If you recognise them,
:38:10. > :38:20.give us a call. -- a conviction. If you have any information, give us a
:38:20. > :38:32.
:38:32. > :38:40.You can e-mail us: Back to comment in Sussex. -- Colin. What about the
:38:40. > :38:46.low level crimes that annoy all of us? Here it is being tackled by an
:38:46. > :38:52.innovative approach. You organise street meetings. How do you go
:38:52. > :38:58.about it? We put letters through doors of residents. We get them to
:38:58. > :39:04.come down and speak to us. What are they concerned about? Normally the
:39:04. > :39:10.low-level stuff like speeding, also parking problems. You have made a
:39:10. > :39:17.complaint. What is it? There is a bridleway at the top of our road
:39:17. > :39:21.which is by way. It is used by horse-riders, cyclists and
:39:21. > :39:28.pedestrians. There is an ever- increasing number of motorcycles
:39:28. > :39:36.and 4x4 vehicles. How will you do with it? We make sure we turn up at
:39:36. > :39:43.times when it is happening. Tony is a satisfied customer. What have the
:39:43. > :39:49.police than for you? A camper van appeared on the cricket field. We
:39:49. > :39:55.said, have we think we have travellers moving into the airier.
:39:55. > :39:59.They had moved around to the south side of the cricket field. Kelly
:39:59. > :40:06.came and sorted it out. Smoothed out the ruffled feathers, wiped
:40:06. > :40:12.away the tears and everyone was happy. This will become a crucial
:40:12. > :40:16.part of policing in Sussex. I am joined by Chief Inspector Dick
:40:16. > :40:23.Coates, the commander. Is it actually succeeding in cutting
:40:23. > :40:28.crime? It is. Over the last five years crime has been reduced to a
:40:28. > :40:33.year on year. There has been a 77% reduction this year alone. It has
:40:33. > :40:37.to be along the lines of putting out bobbies on the beat and having
:40:37. > :40:41.a high-profile presence. It is about listening to community
:40:41. > :40:46.concerns and doing something pretty to allay those fears and those
:40:46. > :40:51.issues. Of course there are lots of people calling on your time. Could
:40:52. > :40:56.you raise false hopes? We could get in touch and have the street
:40:56. > :41:01.meeting. We have to prioritise what we do, that is correct. We have
:41:01. > :41:04.time to speak to people and listen to their concerns and put things
:41:04. > :41:12.impact is a make things better for communities. It is about keeping
:41:12. > :41:16.them safe and secure art in their environment. We are listening to
:41:16. > :41:20.our community and doing what they want. This is against the
:41:20. > :41:24.background of cuts. A number of forces are cutting back on
:41:24. > :41:28.community initiatives. The chief constable has been clear that
:41:28. > :41:33.neighbourhood policing is the bedrock of everything we do. We
:41:33. > :41:38.need to get into communities and do what they want us to do. It is
:41:38. > :41:42.about being face-to-face and not just whizzing past in patrol cars?
:41:42. > :41:48.Let's get back into communities and find out what is going on and do
:41:48. > :41:54.something positive. Thank you very much indeed. He says this is the
:41:54. > :41:59.way forward, may be for the rest of the country as well. Just the quick
:41:59. > :42:07.update of what has been coming in on the phones, texts and e-mails.
:42:07. > :42:13.Some good information on one face. He is wanted on suspicion breaching
:42:13. > :42:23.the sexual offences order. We are getting a lot of calls from viewers
:42:23. > :42:23.
:42:23. > :42:29.who think they have been victims of scam ors. That is about it from me
:42:29. > :42:34.today. What are you have to tomorrow? We have loads in the
:42:34. > :42:43.programme tomorrow. They are going to the police headquarters in
:42:43. > :42:49.Sussex at Louis. I will be with the anti-terrorist police at Gatwick
:42:49. > :42:55.Airport. -- Lewes. Tomorrow we are under cover for some of the day.
:42:55. > :43:04.Back to you, Rav. For more details about the crimes on today's
