:00:27. > :00:45.
:00:45. > :00:49.We have been getting loads of calls on the crimes we featured yesterday,
:00:49. > :00:55.and we need your help again today to try to catch the criminals whose
:00:55. > :01:00.actions can ruin ordinary people's lives. On the programme today. Dot.
:01:00. > :01:06.An unprovoked attack in a park. Who are the angry couple who left an
:01:06. > :01:12.innocent dog walker out cold? A major police operation on the roads,
:01:12. > :01:20.with over 100 officers - find out how they are tackling crime on our
:01:20. > :01:27.motorways. And a blind young man, devastated by the theft of a
:01:27. > :01:34.computer which kept him connected to the outside world. Our Roadshow team
:01:34. > :01:40.are travelling the country, and today, they are in black and...
:01:40. > :01:47.I am at Blackburn Community Fire Station this morning. It is a
:01:47. > :01:51.brand-new building, with two fire engines working full-time, 24/7. The
:01:51. > :01:54.60 staff based here are called out 2000 tonnes a year to emergencies.
:01:54. > :01:59.Today, we are going to be finding out how these guys work with
:01:59. > :02:03.Lancashire Constabulary, and also with the Ambulance Service, to keep
:02:03. > :02:07.people safe here. They are currently running a campaign to warn teenagers
:02:07. > :02:11.about the dangers of drink driving. They will be showing us how they cut
:02:11. > :02:16.a driver out of the wreckage of a car. And guess who they are going to
:02:16. > :02:24.be demonstrating on? First, a bizarre attack on aid dad from black
:02:24. > :02:27.pool. When Christopher Hale let his dog off the lead in a local park, he
:02:27. > :02:34.did not appreciate the fury it would provoke from a couple of other dog
:02:35. > :02:39.walkers. The guy attacked me. I did not see it coming. The next thing I
:02:40. > :02:49.knew, I was lying on the floor, out cold. I was shocked, how could
:02:50. > :02:51.
:02:51. > :02:56.anybody behave in this fashion? Christopher Hale has lived in this
:02:56. > :02:59.area of Blackpool for 17 years. He first moved to the town in 1991 to
:03:00. > :03:06.start training as a nurse. His dog Bobby is a loyal and faithful
:03:06. > :03:09.friend. Late one April evening, Christopher realised he needed some
:03:10. > :03:19.change for his daughter's dinner money. He set out to his local
:03:19. > :03:23.store. His errand done, he headed home. Ten o'clock at night, there
:03:23. > :03:27.were not many people around, so I walked across Claremont Park, and I
:03:27. > :03:32.decided to let the dog off the lead. Just a soft dog, he would not do
:03:32. > :03:36.anybody any harm. He likes a run every now and again. I was on the
:03:36. > :03:43.phone to a friend, I heard a noise behind me, and I heard a woman
:03:43. > :03:50.screaming... Get that dog off the lead! They had a dog with them, it
:03:50. > :03:55.was white, it was a terrier. It was just crazy. The next thing I knew,
:03:55. > :03:59.he starts attacking me, saying, I will do you, I will do you. I did as
:03:59. > :04:03.he said, because he looked big. The next thing I knew, I was on the
:04:03. > :04:11.floor. He had assaulted me. Christopher had been kicked in the
:04:11. > :04:16.face. His friend, still on the other end of the phone, heard the attack.
:04:16. > :04:20.My friend reckons I was on the floor for about 30 seconds. He said I did
:04:20. > :04:25.not reply for 30 seconds. I did not realise I had been out for that
:04:25. > :04:33.long. But then, the good Samaritan appeared. When I got up, a young
:04:33. > :04:37.man, about 20, he said he saw the whole thing and he was willing to
:04:37. > :04:40.sign a witness statement. He said his name was Jake, but I cannot
:04:40. > :04:47.remember what he said after that. I must have been so concussed,
:04:47. > :04:51.unfortunately. Christopher had to go to hospital after the incident. He
:04:51. > :04:54.had a broken cheekbone to the left side of his face, and obviously, the
:04:55. > :05:00.area surrounding that part of his face was quite seriously bruised. It
:05:00. > :05:06.did look quite alarming. My face was purple, covered in blood. It was
:05:06. > :05:11.excruciatingly painful. The police need to track down the dog walkers
:05:11. > :05:16.responsible for this unprovoked attack. They are also keen to speak
:05:16. > :05:19.to Jake, the man who offered himself as a witness. We believe he could
:05:19. > :05:24.offer some vital information in regard to the matter, and
:05:24. > :05:28.specifically, in identifying the male and female in question.
:05:28. > :05:34.Claremont Park is surrounded by houses and busy roads. The police
:05:34. > :05:38.are convinced others must have seen what happened. Given that the woman
:05:38. > :05:45.with the dog was screaming so loudly, someone must have heard
:05:45. > :05:54.something. Get that dog on a lead now! I would urge anybody to come
:05:54. > :05:57.forward and contact the police. joined now by Detective Constable
:05:57. > :06:03.Kate Buckingham. Really nasty injuries - how serious were they?
:06:03. > :06:08.was concussed, and as a result of receiving treatment at hospital, it
:06:08. > :06:11.was confirmed that he had a broken cheekbone. You are appealing for
:06:11. > :06:19.witnesses, and you do have a pretty good description of this couple,
:06:19. > :06:24.don't you? Yes, the male is described as being a white male, 6ft
:06:24. > :06:29.in height, quite muscular build. He has quite a prominent jawline. He
:06:29. > :06:34.was wearing a white, zip up fleece top, and the female has been
:06:34. > :06:41.described as about 5ft 6ins in height, quite an overweight old,
:06:41. > :06:44.wearing a three quarters length jacket, and she has long, dark and
:06:44. > :06:48.what has been described as straggly hair. And she was walking a West
:06:49. > :06:56.Highland Terrier J dog. And you really want to hear from Jake as
:06:56. > :06:59.well. Yes, we are appealing to Jake and asking him to contact the police
:06:59. > :07:07.because we could really do with speaking to him, to ascertain what
:07:07. > :07:11.he saw. It was a wide-open area, we know that there were lots of houses
:07:11. > :07:15.around - presumably somebody would have heard all of this screaming.
:07:15. > :07:20.Christopher said the woman was screaming like a banshee. Yes, even
:07:20. > :07:22.his friend on the telephone could hear her screaming. Given that the
:07:22. > :07:32.park is surrounded by houses, you would've thought would have heard
:07:32. > :07:39.it. Back to you, Rav. It is time to look at today's Wanted Faces. This
:07:39. > :07:43.is the first one, Flogert Farruku and police want to question him in
:07:43. > :07:47.connection with a cannabis factory in Cardiff, where almost �200,000
:07:47. > :07:51.worth of plants were discovered. He is originally from Albania. He
:07:51. > :07:57.speaks little English. He is linked to the Cardiff and Newport areas of
:07:57. > :08:00.south Wales but could be anywhere. Next up, Siad Mohamed Siad, whom the
:08:00. > :08:04.police wants to question in connection with a violent rape. He
:08:04. > :08:12.is described as 6ft tall, speaking with a London accent. Please let us
:08:12. > :08:16.know if you have seen him. Our last two faces are connected - this man
:08:16. > :08:20.is Cezary Chybowski, or Charlie, as he is known, and this woman is
:08:20. > :08:25.Kerrie Regan, and they were both arrested in connection with intent
:08:25. > :08:29.to supply drugs, but failed to turn up. They have linked to Croydon,
:08:29. > :08:39.Bromley, Maidstone and also to the Republic of Ireland, but again,
:08:39. > :08:49.
:08:49. > :08:56.police think they could be anywhere. space, that is really important.
:08:56. > :09:03.Now, it is time to take a look at today's first batch of crooks caught
:09:03. > :09:07.on camera. See if you recognise any of this lot. A man gets on the bus
:09:07. > :09:12.in Barnet in London, in August last year. He has even come prepared with
:09:12. > :09:17.an empty plastic bag. And that brace on his leg is not going to hold him
:09:17. > :09:21.back. He notices a laptop on an empty seat. The owner takes no
:09:21. > :09:27.notice as he sits down next to her. He gets his carrier bag ready,
:09:27. > :09:32.then, as she is distracted, casual as you like, he reaches down, and it
:09:32. > :09:42.is in the bag. We really need to catch this laptop lifter. If you
:09:42. > :09:43.
:09:43. > :09:47.know who he is, pick up that phone. We are in this shop in Morecambe,
:09:47. > :09:53.and it is eight o'clock in the evening. This woman is about to get
:09:53. > :09:59.away with �120, but blink and you will miss it. First, she asks the
:09:59. > :10:02.shop assistant to change �200 worth of �20 notes into �10 notes. He
:10:02. > :10:09.counts her money carefully and checks it is not counterfeit. Then
:10:09. > :10:11.he hands her the change, in tennis. But she seems to change her mind and
:10:11. > :10:19.asks for 10p pieces instead. The assistant tells her he cannot
:10:19. > :10:29.oblige. Now, she separates the money into two bundles, skims one into her
:10:29. > :10:29.
:10:29. > :10:36.bag and hands back the other. Let's watch it again, slowly. She then
:10:36. > :10:41.hands back just �80 in �10 notes, while the assistant gives her the
:10:41. > :10:49.original 200 in 20s, and she makes herself a tidy profit of �120. Call
:10:49. > :10:53.us if you know her. A busy pub on Wandsworth Common. This table of
:10:53. > :10:54.women are enjoying a meal, but one of them is about to have her night
:10:54. > :11:02.of them is about to have her night ruined. This sneaky thief is using
:11:02. > :11:12.his foot to shuffle her handbag away. Let's look at it again. Very
:11:12. > :11:13.
:11:13. > :11:22.crafty footwork. He takes his time, and no one bats an eyelid.
:11:22. > :11:29.Eventually, he picks the bag up and saunters off. Do you know this
:11:29. > :11:31.nimble bag shuffler? Give us a call. Very cheeky thief, that one. Call or
:11:31. > :11:38.text on the usual numbers if you text on the usual numbers if you
:11:38. > :11:42.recognise anyone. Here in Lancashire, more than 2000 people
:11:42. > :11:47.were arrested for drink-driving related offences last year. So,
:11:47. > :11:57.emergency services are taking shock tech fix to try to convince
:11:57. > :11:58.
:11:58. > :12:02.youngsters not to take the risk. Dangerous, drunken-driving. To me,
:12:02. > :12:06.there is no greater waste of life than an accident that has happened
:12:06. > :12:10.and killed somebody because somebody has been drinking. This car is
:12:10. > :12:13.clearly weaving across the highway. The drunk driver is putting himself
:12:13. > :12:20.and others in danger. Actually, police stopped him before he could
:12:20. > :12:27.cause any harm. But not everybody is that lucky. This is the wreckage
:12:27. > :12:30.that was left from the crash that killed 18-year-old Matthew, from
:12:30. > :12:35.Lancashire. He was a popular teenager. His family and friends say
:12:35. > :12:40.he was a joke, but also someone to rely on. Sadly, this was his last
:12:40. > :12:48.night out with friends. Matthew crashed his car the next morning,
:12:48. > :12:52.while he was still twice the drink drive limit. He died instantly. What
:12:52. > :12:56.is left of Matthew's car is now being used in a hard-hitting
:12:56. > :13:00.campaign called Wasted Lives. Lancashire police are working on the
:13:00. > :13:06.project with the local Fire Service and counsel to warn teenagers about
:13:06. > :13:13.the dangers of drink driving. Here at Blessington It Is School in
:13:13. > :13:19.Burnley, there has been a strong reaction from youngsters. -- Placid
:13:20. > :13:26.Trinity. It will make me think a lot about when I have my own car, and
:13:26. > :13:31.what I will do on a Saturday night. It will make me drive safely. It
:13:31. > :13:35.could happen to anyone. They are also seeing first-hand what happens
:13:36. > :13:39.to someone trapped in a car. I can go into schools, I can speak to
:13:39. > :13:45.members of the public every day of the week about speeding and
:13:45. > :13:48.drink-driving, people not wearing seat belts, but until they see the
:13:48. > :13:58.real consequences of those actions, I do not really think the message
:13:58. > :13:59.
:13:59. > :14:03.sinks in. This is Matthew's car, and we can see how badly damaged it was.
:14:03. > :14:13.Schoenfeld is involved in the Wasted Lives campaign. You were also one of
:14:13. > :14:19.
:14:19. > :14:22.the first officers at the scene, it must have been awful. Yes, it was a
:14:22. > :14:26.tremendous impact. We are three years on and the person driving is
:14:26. > :14:30.still being treated for their injuries. Matthew did the right
:14:30. > :14:34.thing because he went home in a taxi but this is an important message
:14:34. > :14:39.about when you drink late at night and drive in the morning. Yes, young
:14:39. > :14:43.people tend to go to friends, have a drink, go out later, stay out until
:14:43. > :14:47.the early hours of the morning. They need to realise just how long it
:14:47. > :14:51.takes for alcohol to come out of your system. About one unit comes
:14:51. > :14:56.out for every hour after you first started drinking. It can be a good
:14:56. > :15:00.or nine hours after you had your last drink before you can safely
:15:00. > :15:03.drive and that is the message we are trying to get home. If you have had
:15:03. > :15:08.a drink the night before, have yourself time for the alcohol to
:15:08. > :15:12.wear off before you get the hind the wheel of the car again. Matthews
:15:12. > :15:17.family are supporting this campaign, how are they? They are very
:15:17. > :15:21.supportive of this family, -- of this campaign, they think it is a
:15:21. > :15:26.great idea, they see it as Matthew's legacy, saving other
:15:26. > :15:31.people 's lives. They obviously miss Matthew, you can't put into words
:15:31. > :15:36.how they feel about that. They are looking at this as Matthew's legacy
:15:36. > :15:39.and hopefully it will save lives in the future. Thank you very much.
:15:39. > :15:42.Hopefully it will save lives in the future.
:15:42. > :15:47.Time for a really quick appeal, Cambs police have asked us to help
:15:47. > :15:52.find the men behind a tobacco heist. This happened just over a month ago
:15:52. > :15:56.at around one p.m. On May the 14th. A delivery was taking place at a
:15:56. > :16:02.Tesco Express on Hills Road in Cambridgeshire. Two men got away
:16:02. > :16:05.with two Lodge bags including more than �2000 worth of tobacco. The
:16:05. > :16:09.police would like to speak to these two men in connection with the theft
:16:09. > :16:14.and also believe they may be linked to another tobacco theft worth
:16:14. > :16:19.thousands of pounds, that happened in January on a petrol station on
:16:19. > :16:24.Histon Road, also in Cambridge. Do you know who they are? It was at
:16:24. > :16:28.lunchtime on Tuesday 14th of May. Maybe you were in that area of
:16:28. > :16:32.Cambridge at the time. Did anybody offer you cheap tobacco a few weeks
:16:32. > :16:40.ago? If anything rings a bell, you know the detail to call.
:16:40. > :16:45.Still to come today: Gabby is blind and lives apart from most of his
:16:45. > :16:51.friends and family. Now the special computer that lets him keep in touch
:16:51. > :17:00.has been stolen. And the primary school targeted by
:17:00. > :17:05.hooligans seven times. Do you know these drive-by sharpshooters?
:17:05. > :17:09.Earlier we saw about the campaign, Wasted Lives. The fire crews and
:17:09. > :17:12.police targeting young people, telling them about the dangers of
:17:12. > :17:17.drink-driving and taking the wreckage of Matthew's car into
:17:17. > :17:21.schools. Claire is with me. This is a really important campaign but are
:17:21. > :17:25.you convinced it works because it is so shocking? We are totally
:17:25. > :17:29.convinced. The reaction we have had from the young people who see what
:17:29. > :17:35.we do has convinced us that it is bringing that message home. What
:17:35. > :17:38.sort of response do you get? responses in particular. One was a
:17:38. > :17:42.young girl who was very emotional cause of what we were telling her
:17:42. > :17:47.and the fact it was reality. And one young man who could relate to
:17:47. > :17:53.Matthew's story by looking at the articles in his car, they have said
:17:53. > :17:56.it is going to make them think in the future. This procedure could be
:17:56. > :18:01.the difference between life and death? Definitely and that is why it
:18:01. > :18:04.has to be carried out by highly trained people. We want to show you
:18:04. > :18:09.at home exactly what happens if someone is trapped in a car. I am
:18:09. > :18:13.going to put my seat out on. Hopefully I would be wearing a
:18:13. > :18:17.seatbelt anyway. If you are not come you are going to be injured far more
:18:17. > :18:25.than otherwise. I am going to put this hat on and the glasses for
:18:25. > :18:30.safety. We are showing you a demonstration. Keep looking at me,
:18:30. > :18:36.don't move my head, my colleague will chat to you. Can we stabilise
:18:36. > :18:42.the vehicle? The officer is holding my head in case I had a neck or
:18:42. > :18:47.spinal injury. I can't move that from side to side. The important
:18:47. > :18:50.thing here is staying calm. That is why the officer is in the back of
:18:50. > :18:59.the car. There will be officers talking to me throughout this
:18:59. > :19:02.procedure. During this, we will have the roof cut off the car and we will
:19:02. > :19:06.be showing that later in the programme. At the moment, the
:19:06. > :19:16.equipment is coming out and we are going to see exactly what happens
:19:16. > :19:32.
:19:32. > :19:37.the car and the equipment is coming out to start to cut the vehicle. It
:19:37. > :19:47.is a very strange experience, I have to say, sitting here like this. I
:19:47. > :19:51.have no idea what is going on behind We will join Sian a bit later on,
:19:51. > :19:56.hopefully she will be all right. The north-west of England is connected
:19:56. > :20:00.by 300 miles of motorway. Tackling crime on the roads is a huge task
:20:00. > :20:04.for the forces responsible. Earlier this month four forces came together
:20:04. > :20:07.to tackle the problem. We joined Operation Coalition, one of the
:20:07. > :20:12.biggest leasing operations of the year.
:20:12. > :20:16.On a sunny June morning, 120 officers from four separate forces,
:20:16. > :20:21.Lancashire, Merseyside, Cheshire and later Manchester, are joining forces
:20:21. > :20:25.to tackle every aspect of road crime. At the regional control
:20:25. > :20:31.centre they are joined by other experts who use their knowledge to
:20:31. > :20:35.act up the police. We have examined is who will have a good look at any
:20:35. > :20:40.vehicle we think will not be complying with the law. We have
:20:40. > :20:45.RSPCA and animal welfare officers and vets, looking at how animals are
:20:45. > :20:53.transported. PC Mick God knows only too well be portents of today's
:20:53. > :20:56.operation. -- Mick Gothard. I have been working on traffic and motorway
:20:56. > :21:03.for 18 years and over that time I have been too many serious and fatal
:21:03. > :21:08.accidents. Part of today's operation involves checks on livestock. A
:21:08. > :21:12.horse box is pulled over into one of the checkpoints, where the animals'
:21:12. > :21:16.welfare is examined as well as the vehicle. This time everything checks
:21:16. > :21:22.out and the horse box can go on its way. However, a few miles away, near
:21:22. > :21:26.the Burtonwood checkpoint, another recognition camera has spotted a car
:21:26. > :21:30.flagged as a stolen vehicle. The driver says it is a courtesy car,
:21:30. > :21:37.loans to him by a garage. Whilst the car is being inspected, the driver
:21:37. > :21:44.undergoes a fit test. Walk in a straight line. Foot after foot.
:21:44. > :21:48.you understand? I understand. is a series of five tests to assess
:21:48. > :21:56.if someone has been driving under the influence of drugs. It involves
:21:56. > :22:01.measuring pupils, coordination, balance and perception of time.
:22:01. > :22:05.While the fit test continues, Mick is called to another checkpoint.

:22:18. > :22:25.have to take regular breaks and it is monitored by a device. The
:22:25. > :22:29.officers download data and take a look. Can we go where the load is?
:22:29. > :22:35.Let's find out what he is carrying. The officers discover that this
:22:35. > :22:40.German vehicle has been stopped previously for a mechanical fault.
:22:41. > :22:46.Eight weeks ago it was stopped with a steering defect. We put a
:22:46. > :22:51.prohibition on the vehicle. You have 44 tonnes of vehicle and if the
:22:51. > :22:55.steering goes, out of control in the motorway, 56 mph, it could quite
:22:55. > :23:01.easily kill a lot of people. Drivers are not allowed to drive more than
:23:01. > :23:06.nine hours a day. The device shows he has exceeded that limit and he
:23:06. > :23:11.will be fined. It is a fine of �200 from the police side. In relation to
:23:12. > :23:17.the steering defect, another �200 fine for that offence. He has an
:23:17. > :23:21.hour to arrange a recovery garage. An expensive lesson for the driver,
:23:21. > :23:25.which will make him think twice before breaking the law again. Back
:23:25. > :23:30.with the Mercedes, the driver has passed the fit test with flying
:23:30. > :23:38.colours. Now the police want to check his details. What vehicle did
:23:38. > :23:45.you use to insure it? Did you ensure the Mercedes? You ensured a Metro?
:23:45. > :23:52.Police decide to seize the car. is a suspected stolen car so we are
:23:52. > :23:56.going to be look to see if he has a license and if he is licensed to
:23:56. > :24:02.drive it. At the moment, a good result. Further down the motorway,
:24:02. > :24:07.there is another incident. A man has abandoned his van and has run away.
:24:07. > :24:11.He slammed the brakes on, jumped out of the vehicle, went over a barbed
:24:11. > :24:16.wire fence and started running across a field. Unfortunately for
:24:16. > :24:19.him, the PC who gave chase is a marathon runner. I kept saying it
:24:19. > :24:23.was going to be a matter of him getting more tired than I am
:24:23. > :24:27.committed hard to run with kit on and body armour but I kept thinking,
:24:27. > :24:34.you will get more tired first. He was in sight at all times and it was
:24:34. > :24:38.a case of he will finish before I will. Whilst a drugs dog searches
:24:38. > :24:41.the van police discover it is not stolen and no drugs are found, but
:24:41. > :24:46.the checks revealed the driver does not have insurance or a driving
:24:46. > :24:50.licence. The PC's impromptu cross-country run has earned him a
:24:50. > :24:56.telling off. The custody sergeant mentioned the fact about the state
:24:56. > :25:00.of my uniform, but I think he will let it go this time. The team head
:25:01. > :25:07.back to base. During the day, 300 vehicles have been stopped and 40
:25:07. > :25:16.were taken off the road. There have been seven arrests for various
:25:16. > :25:19.offences and over 190 breath test. All in all, a busy day 's work.
:25:19. > :25:23.I am joined by Sergeant Paul Evans from North Yorkshire Police who
:25:23. > :25:27.needs your help to find a well travelled man. Tell us about your
:25:27. > :25:30.appeal. We are looking for a man that has been staying at a bed and
:25:30. > :25:35.breakfast in the North Yorkshire area committee has run up a bar
:25:36. > :25:39.built and left paying for the bill or the accommodation. At least three
:25:39. > :25:44.offences have happened on your ground. Richmond, settle and guile
:25:44. > :25:47.grave. Since you have been looking into this, you have found there are
:25:47. > :25:51.a number of offences where you believe the same person is
:25:51. > :25:56.responsible, and they are nationwide. West Wales,
:25:56. > :26:00.Haverfordwest, the South of England, even Derbyshire and up in the
:26:00. > :26:08.north-west as well. He really is all over the place. We believe it is the
:26:08. > :26:12.same person. What is the method? has spoken with the B&Bs in the
:26:12. > :26:14.North Yorkshire area they need to be looking for, they should for
:26:14. > :26:18.contractors and checking out the accommodation. He has given the name
:26:18. > :26:24.Charlie Roost and an address in Bournemouth but we know him to be
:26:24. > :26:28.David Brown. That is his proper name. We have a nice photograph of
:26:28. > :26:33.him here but there are also some distinctive features. He is about
:26:33. > :26:38.six foot, his big is with a Scottish accent, he a one inch guard crosses
:26:38. > :26:43.left eyebrow. He has the word Norman tattooed on his left forearm and a
:26:43. > :26:50.seven inch flour, which is distinctive. Do you have any advice
:26:50. > :26:53.for small bed-and-breakfast owners or hoteliers? Try to get people to
:26:53. > :27:00.pay for things up front. If they want to pay with a credit card,
:27:00. > :27:07.check the details. Check for ID and take some sort of holding fee on the
:27:07. > :27:10.card, so at least if they disappear without paying, you have something.
:27:10. > :27:16.If anyone sees him turning up all you think it is him, contact police
:27:16. > :27:21.straightaway? Yes, we do need to speak to this chap. Thank you very
:27:21. > :27:28.much for joining us. Earlier, we saw the team at Blackburn fire station
:27:28. > :27:33.cuttings Xian out of a car. Fingers crossed it is going all right.
:27:33. > :27:39.OK so far, quite a lot of SAP and in the past few minutes. The roof has
:27:39. > :27:47.actually been lifted off the car. I have been placed onto this order. If
:27:47. > :27:51.I was a casual to, I would be strapped in but for the ease of TV
:27:51. > :27:56.they have kept the straps of so I can show you what is happening and I
:27:56. > :28:00.can have a chat to Caroline. I am awfully glad that I can stand up on
:28:00. > :28:03.my feet. It happened very quickly. Is it always that quick? I was
:28:03. > :28:08.sitting in the car, the next minute the roof was off and I was being
:28:08. > :28:17.lifted onto the board. It depends on the circumstances and the impact.
:28:17. > :28:20.Anything between 50 and -- 15 and 20 minutes, it can take us. It has to
:28:20. > :28:25.be quick, because every minute really counts in this sort of
:28:25. > :28:29.situation especially somebody is seriously injured. Definitely. We
:28:29. > :28:35.work on the principle of one hour, the Golden hour, to get from impact
:28:35. > :28:41.of the car to get that person out of the car and into casualty care in
:28:41. > :28:46.the hospital. That 20 minutes is imperative to the incident. I didn't
:28:46. > :28:50.really know what was going to happen when I was in the car. I was
:28:50. > :28:53.prepared that we knew the procedure would take place but I had no idea
:28:53. > :29:00.how it would happen. When you hear the cutting machine, it is quite
:29:00. > :29:03.scary, and you have to keep people calm. Yes. We have somebody in the
:29:03. > :29:07.back stabilising the seat and making sure the casualties in the best
:29:07. > :29:11.condition we can make them. We have to keep them calm and reassure them
:29:11. > :29:15.we are looking after them, we are going to get them out and get them
:29:15. > :29:19.to hospital, to the care that they require. You are out working on the
:29:19. > :29:23.roads all the time and you see some terrible accidents, you have to be
:29:23. > :29:33.very highly trained, how many do you see and what impact does it have on
:29:33. > :29:33.
:29:33. > :29:39.you? Across the county, you can predict probably one of these every
:29:39. > :29:43.day. We are professional people, we have got to get on with the job, do
:29:43. > :29:47.what we are there to do, to look after the community. And then it is
:29:47. > :29:51.afterwards that we will talk about it and analyse what happened. Thank
:29:51. > :29:56.you very much. I have been in safe hands here with this crew. I would
:29:56. > :30:00.not like to go through that for real. It was really scary,
:30:00. > :30:09.particularly when they were getting me on to that board. Back to you,
:30:09. > :30:13.Rav. Watch closely, and see if you can recognise any of these culprits,
:30:13. > :30:15.who were caught red-handed. Now, for the finer things in life. We are
:30:15. > :30:20.the finer things in life. We are real and off-licence in Soho in
:30:20. > :30:29.Watch closely as one of the men reaches over and steals a bottle of
:30:29. > :30:36.champagne. Watch again - that Apple is worth a cool �270. Come on, let's
:30:36. > :30:42.put a stop to this and crack the case. We are in a pub in Islington
:30:42. > :30:48.in January this year, and it is time for a classic con. Watch carefully,
:30:48. > :30:53.as this man returns a menu to his vicar Tim's table. She has no idea
:30:53. > :30:59.that he is stealing her designer handbag at the same time complete
:30:59. > :31:03.with her purse, credit cards and keys. Watch again. You can see him
:31:03. > :31:09.using his coat to hide what he is up to. Help us track down this
:31:09. > :31:19.trickster. He got away with �750 worth of stuff. You know what you
:31:19. > :31:19.
:31:19. > :31:24.need to do. Just before midnight, in Frinton on Sea, in Essex. The shop
:31:24. > :31:29.is shut, but that is not a problem for these men, who have broken in,
:31:29. > :31:34.and who wasted no time filling a bag with �2000 worth of cigarettes. But
:31:34. > :31:38.look closely, that bag is actually a duvet cover. But they are not here
:31:38. > :31:42.for a sleepover, and they quickly make their escape. Come on, let's
:31:42. > :31:46.give these guys a sleepless night. give these guys a sleepless night.
:31:46. > :31:56.It is time to kick the habit, guys. If you can name any of that lot, get
:31:56. > :31:59.
:31:59. > :32:08.in touch with us. And remember, you can also call Crimestoppers
:32:08. > :32:13.anonymously. We have seen what Lancashire police and Fire Service
:32:13. > :32:17.are doing to save lives. I wanted to show you inside this police car. It
:32:17. > :32:22.is really well equipped, as you would expect. Traffic cones, blue
:32:22. > :32:25.flashing light, even a shovel. But there is one piece of kit which
:32:25. > :32:33.perhaps you might not expect to see in a police car. It is a
:32:34. > :32:37.defibrillator. Why do you carry this? We have got ten such units
:32:38. > :32:42.within the Road policing unit in Lancashire. We are all trained in
:32:42. > :32:46.the use of the defibrillators. With the area that we cover, we might
:32:46. > :32:56.come across scenes where we might be first on the scene, and we might be
:32:56. > :32:59.
:32:59. > :33:06.called upon to use them. They are a useful thing. Let's see how it is in
:33:06. > :33:15.action. I know that Mark Evans, you train the police - what would we
:33:15. > :33:19.have to do if we were using this? Once it is switched on, you simply
:33:19. > :33:23.Once it is switched on, you simply pull the handle, and follow the
:33:24. > :33:31.instructions on there. You cannot do anything wrong with them. This one
:33:31. > :33:41.goes up here on the chest area. And this one goes down here. So, the two
:33:41. > :33:43.
:33:43. > :33:51.pads are on. It will detect whether the heart is beating all quivering.
:33:51. > :33:54.It will now decide whether to send a pulse or not. It is as easy as that.
:33:54. > :34:00.You press the button and it will deliver a shock. This is a training
:34:00. > :34:06.device. That has now delivered a shock to the patient, hopefully to
:34:06. > :34:10.get the heart to restart. These can be found now in shopping centres and
:34:10. > :34:20.all sorts of different places now. Yes, shopping centres, leisure
:34:20. > :34:27.
:34:27. > :34:31.centres, schools. And also, they are upsetting for everyone, but when the
:34:31. > :34:35.thieves take away your lifeline to the outside world, the consequences
:34:35. > :34:38.can be devastating. Gabby Sanchez went blind whilst growing up in
:34:39. > :34:43.Spain. Since coming to the UK he says he has felt removed from the
:34:43. > :34:50.life he used to know. But a burglary at his home last month has left him
:34:50. > :34:56.even more isolated. My son has not always been blind. He started going
:34:56. > :35:02.blind slowly from the age of 12, and then from 12 to 18 he lasted very
:35:02. > :35:10.quickly. It is hard for him to accept the fact that he is blind,
:35:10. > :35:13.and unfortunately, there is nothing to be done for it. But through a
:35:13. > :35:16.specialised laptop, Gabby has been able to communicate with people
:35:16. > :35:22.around the world. His computer was fitted with a programme for blind
:35:22. > :35:32.users, which reads e-mails out loud, allowing him to talk to friends and
:35:32. > :35:46.
:35:47. > :35:50.his mum worked out raising money for a local blind charity, thieves broke
:35:50. > :35:58.into their home, stealing cash and a mobile phone, but more importantly,
:35:58. > :36:02.they took the laptop. We went out at about half past 12, we came back
:36:02. > :36:12.about six o'clock, and as I was parking the car, I noticed that the
:36:12. > :36:14.
:36:14. > :36:20.door was broken. This Packard Bell laptop was bought in Spain, and it
:36:20. > :36:27.has Spanish characters on the keyboard. Obviously, it is quite
:36:27. > :36:32.distinctive and it is not going to be of much use for anyone living in
:36:32. > :36:40.this area. I would ask anybody with any information, if they have been
:36:40. > :36:50.offered it for sale, to come forward to the police. The laptop and
:36:50. > :36:55.
:36:55. > :37:01.software costs �600. Gabby and his information to help catch these
:37:01. > :37:05.thieves. We would appeal to anybody who potentially saw any suspicious
:37:05. > :37:13.activity, anybody running away from this area, on the afternoon of 10th
:37:13. > :37:19.of May, between about mid day and 6pm. The incident has had a huge
:37:19. > :37:24.impact on Gabby. He does not really want to go out, he will not go out
:37:24. > :37:31.on his own, he wants to be in the house on his own. It has left Gabby
:37:31. > :37:35.feeling stuck terrible burglary, and it has really hit Gabby hard. If you
:37:35. > :37:38.know someone who has really got hold of a Packard Bell laptop, with a
:37:38. > :37:42.Spanish keyboard and special software, then please just hand it
:37:42. > :37:50.to the police and allow Gabby to get back online with his family and
:37:50. > :37:53.friends. Now, just down the road from here is St Silas Primary
:37:53. > :37:56.School, and the pupils are hoping that you will help identify the
:37:56. > :38:06.vandals who have been using their lovely new school as target
:38:06. > :38:06.
:38:06. > :38:09.practice. We absolutely love this building. The children love it, they
:38:09. > :38:14.love the learning that takes place and they feel very safe in this
:38:14. > :38:19.building. Since this school was built last year, to provide a safe
:38:19. > :38:23.and inspirational learning space for children... One of the design
:38:23. > :38:26.features was the large windows, two letters much like in as possible,
:38:26. > :38:33.because obviously, children learn better and can write better in
:38:33. > :38:36.natural light, but also, to cut down on the electricity costs. But over
:38:36. > :38:40.the last year, the positive environment at the school has been
:38:40. > :38:50.invaded. Vandals have been using the school's large windows for target
:38:50. > :39:10.
:39:10. > :39:13.a year. In total, the school has been targeted seven times. This is a
:39:13. > :39:17.secret den, it is one of our favourite learning spaces in the
:39:17. > :39:22.school. One of the design features is light. Unfortunately, these
:39:22. > :39:31.windows which are being shot at, it is just such a shame that such a
:39:31. > :39:37.fantastic learning space has to be spoiled. Each window costs �500. In
:39:37. > :39:40.total, nearly �4000 has been spent on replacing them. Somebody is
:39:40. > :39:44.coming past thinking that they are just having a bit of fun, shooting
:39:44. > :39:48.at windows. It could have dire consequences if the children are in
:39:48. > :39:52.school at that point in time. A lot of them find it very upsetting. We
:39:52. > :39:58.have had a few children crying, and you can imagine the impact that such
:39:58. > :40:03.a large window being shot at has. The children looking onto that glass
:40:03. > :40:11.window were visibly shocked and upset.
:40:11. > :40:19.It is incredible, and with me is the person investigating this case. Can
:40:19. > :40:24.you tell us about that Redcar? we really need to locate either the
:40:24. > :40:27.driver or the owner of this vehicle. We believe the occupants have caused
:40:27. > :40:34.the damage to this school. We believe this car to be local. It is
:40:35. > :40:38.a Ford Focus, believed to be 2005. It has got to doors. Hopefully most
:40:38. > :40:46.people will be able to spot the spoiler at the back and the alloy
:40:46. > :40:49.wheels, which are quite distinctive. Thank you very much. Hillary
:40:49. > :40:54.Hinchliff is the head teacher at the primary school, and you are really
:40:54. > :40:58.angry about this, aren't you? really are. The school won an award
:40:58. > :41:05.for its architecture last week, for somebody to want to comment damage
:41:05. > :41:09.this building is really upsetting. It is all about education, isn't it?
:41:09. > :41:16.Yes. Obviously, we have to board up the windows, so it is incredibly
:41:16. > :41:20.disruptive and upsetting. Costly as well. Thanks for coming. I know you
:41:20. > :41:30.are upset by this bash what happens when you go in and you see the
:41:30. > :41:32.broken glass? I feel kind of said, because the architects have spent a
:41:32. > :41:41.lot of time working on this new building and people are just
:41:41. > :41:49.destroying it. And when we have the windows broken, we have to board
:41:49. > :41:53.them up, and it makes our school not colourful. Thanks for coming on. If
:41:53. > :41:57.you know anything about this, please get in touch. We have just got time
:41:57. > :42:02.to give you a quick update on what has been coming in from you at home.
:42:02. > :42:09.We have had some good information coming through on some of article
:42:09. > :42:12.wanted faces. A possible link coming in on Kerrie Regan. And then,
:42:13. > :42:15.Flogert Farruku are wanted in connection with a cannabis factory,
:42:15. > :42:19.some really strong information coming in on him, which we have
:42:19. > :42:25.handed over to the officer in charge. Thank you to everyone who
:42:25. > :42:29.has got in touch. Where are you off to tomorrow, Sian? Tomorrow, we will
:42:29. > :42:34.be finding out how the police dogs here in Lancashire are trained, and
:42:34. > :42:37.also, we will have information about an outrageous burglary, one of those
:42:37. > :42:47.classic cons where people are tricked into parting with an awful
:42:47. > :42:47.
:42:47. > :42:49.lot of their cash. See you then. more details, head to
