:00:16. > :00:19.UK's police forces - and we need you to help them crack down on crime.

:00:26. > :00:33.And we all know the dangers of drinking and driving -

:00:39. > :00:40.The officers stopped the car because they could actually smell cannabis
:00:41. > :00:44.That's how overpowering the smell is.
:00:45. > :01:01.Keep watching - this is Crimewatch Roadshow.
:01:02. > :01:04.Hello and welcome to a brand new series.
:01:05. > :01:08.Well be on your screens for the next four weeks,
:01:09. > :01:11.travelling the length and breadth of the UK, tackling the everyday
:01:12. > :01:25.The school children whose lessons have been hit hard by thieves.
:01:26. > :01:37.It made me feel really sad because I like the computers.
:01:38. > :01:39.Last winter, these brave men and women helped rescue people
:01:40. > :01:44.But now they need your help - to find a rescue boat,
:01:45. > :01:48.There's only three in the country - and one has been stolen.
:01:49. > :01:51.This year, as always, we're out on the road.
:01:52. > :01:53.Sian is with Greater Manchester Police, at
:01:54. > :02:03.I'm at the scene of a crash - two cars, all the emergency services,
:02:04. > :02:09.The police and fire service are using this set
:02:10. > :02:13.up to rehearse the skills they need when they attend a real accident.
:02:14. > :02:15.Later on, the officers here will be showing us
:02:16. > :02:19.how they respond for real, and how they find out what caused it
:02:20. > :02:23.Before that though, a heartbreaking appeal
:02:24. > :02:27.from a family whose son was the victim of a hit and run involving
:02:28. > :02:39.Three months on, they've spoken for the first time about what happened.
:02:40. > :02:46.Craig Rodger was just your average 25-year-old. He was enjoying a night
:02:47. > :02:59.out with friends in a pub in Chorlton in Manchester when he went
:03:00. > :03:06.to a nearby shop. He bought a packet of cigarettes before heading back to
:03:07. > :03:10.the pub. Craig began crossing the road to go and join his friends,
:03:11. > :03:21.unaware that a Porsche Panamera was heading towards him. The car sped
:03:22. > :03:27.off into the night, leaving Craig lying in the road. I got a phone
:03:28. > :03:32.call from Craig's friend at about quarter past 11 to say that Craig
:03:33. > :03:36.had been hit by a car. He was critical and they did not think he
:03:37. > :03:42.was going to make it. To have two ring and tell your parents that,
:03:43. > :03:50.it's terrible. I went and picked my mum. We drove straight there. Craig
:03:51. > :03:56.had suffered massive internal injuries. Even though they said he
:03:57. > :04:01.was critical and they did not think he was going to make it, you don't
:04:02. > :04:07.think the worst. It was not until I saw him lying in the hospital bed
:04:08. > :04:17.that I thought, it is not good. There was still a chance. Apart from
:04:18. > :04:20.the brain injury, which a consultant described as catastrophic, he had
:04:21. > :04:25.two punctured lungs, a fractured spine, a fractured skull. He had
:04:26. > :04:35.bleeding around his heart, bleeding in his stomach. He damaged his
:04:36. > :04:42.kidney. Broken bones. How do you survive those injuries? It was in
:04:43. > :04:50.the early hours of the morning, about four o'clock. They told us
:04:51. > :05:06.then that... That he was not going to make it. And then we had to make
:05:07. > :05:10.the decision to let him go. Police have spent hundreds of hours looking
:05:11. > :05:16.through CCTV, trying to piece together who was at the wheel of the
:05:17. > :05:24.speeding car. The Porsche is captured here, moments before the
:05:25. > :05:29.collision. This is from the Shell petrol station. It shows the Portia
:05:30. > :05:37.arriving at the petrol station -- the Porsche. The Porsche is a hire
:05:38. > :05:39.car and it is believed several different people had been driving it
:05:40. > :05:44.in the hours leading up to the accident. Having parked in the port
:05:45. > :05:49.-- forecourt, the Porsche is part of the bottom of the screen. We would
:05:50. > :05:51.be very interested to speak to individual to walk onto the
:05:52. > :05:57.forecourt and interact with the driver. We're particularly
:05:58. > :06:02.interested in speaking to two males. Both of them approached the Porsche.
:06:03. > :06:10.You can see the males lean into the vehicle and appeared to shake hands
:06:11. > :06:13.with the driver. The two individuals come into the shop where we get a
:06:14. > :06:17.better view. This is the first person we would like to speak to. He
:06:18. > :06:24.is wearing grey trousers with a black Adidas puffer code. The second
:06:25. > :06:27.man wearing a red hat. We do not suspect they have any involvement in
:06:28. > :06:32.the collision. They are a red hat. We do not suspect they have any
:06:33. > :06:37.involvement in the collision. They are key. The car drove to Brookburn
:06:38. > :06:43.Road, where there is a public car park. It is known locally as the
:06:44. > :06:47.Meadows. The vehicle was burnt out. This mobile phone footage captures
:06:48. > :06:52.the Porsche on fire that night, a few hours after it hit Craig. Police
:06:53. > :06:57.believe it was burnt out to stop them gathering forensic evidence
:06:58. > :07:01.against the driver. The fact their first thought was to then remove
:07:02. > :07:06.themselves from the scene and potentially attempt to destroy any
:07:07. > :07:13.evidence, suggests to me they are extremely callous. It is a cowardly
:07:14. > :07:19.act. It is a selfish act. Craig's tragic death has left his family
:07:20. > :07:24.devastated. How can another human being leave another human being like
:07:25. > :07:32.that and drive off? How will -- how could you do that? No caring person
:07:33. > :07:35.would do that. Even if you panicked. We are now a month later down the
:07:36. > :07:55.line and that person still has not come forward. Why? Somebody does no
:07:56. > :08:09.weather person is. Just do what is right. Come forward. -- if somebody
:08:10. > :08:13.does know where the person is. This really is a shocking story so please
:08:14. > :08:17.take a good look at this car. It was a Porsche like this which hit Craig.
:08:18. > :08:19.We have brought along the same number plate for you to have a look
:08:20. > :08:19.at. Now I'm joined by
:08:20. > :08:29.Sergeant Lee Westhead. This car is very unusual? It is very
:08:30. > :08:33.distinctive. It is the Porsche Panamera. We are certain people will
:08:34. > :08:38.have seen this car on the day of the collision. We ordered those people
:08:39. > :08:40.to come forward and speak to us. -- we ask those people.
:08:41. > :08:44.Now you want to speak to the two men who were seen talking to
:08:45. > :08:46.the Porsche's driver at a petrol station.
:08:47. > :08:53.They are not in any trouble but they are in a position to help the
:08:54. > :08:58.investigation. We would urge them to come forward. There is the hour
:08:59. > :09:06.between the time when the car hit Craig and when it was found burned
:09:07. > :09:09.out. How important is that? We believe the vehicle to have been in
:09:10. > :09:15.Chorlton for an hour after the collision. We would urge anybody who
:09:16. > :09:20.saw the vehicle to come forward and contact us. This is terribly
:09:21. > :09:26.distressing for the family. Do you think somebody knows who was driving
:09:27. > :09:30.this car? Yes, people know. I would ask those people to search their
:09:31. > :09:32.consciences and come forward. Bring some closure to Craig's family.
:09:33. > :09:36.Let's hope somebody can help. Now it's time to take a look
:09:37. > :09:41.at today's crooks caught on camera. First up is this man, Mark Robert
:09:42. > :09:44.Knight, though police believe he's now using a false name and passport
:09:45. > :09:48.to travel in and out of the UK. He's wanted for questioning
:09:49. > :09:51.by detectives in the West Midlands in connection with a conspiracy to
:09:52. > :10:07.import and supply cocaine with He has connections to Walsall,
:10:08. > :10:15.Birmingham and London and to Benidorm in Spain. This man is
:10:16. > :10:22.wanted for questioning in connection with a series -- serious sexual
:10:23. > :10:27.assault in Manchester in September 2008. Originally from Pakistan, he
:10:28. > :10:34.also has connections to the old and Manchester areas, possibly London.
:10:35. > :10:37.Joseph Jenkins was jailed for seven years and six months for possession
:10:38. > :10:41.of drugs with intent to supply but released early on licence. He failed
:10:42. > :10:47.to stick to the conditions of the release and he is wanted. He has a
:10:48. > :10:49.Liverpool accent and a two inch circular birthmark on his left arm.
:10:50. > :10:55.He was last spotted in Amsterdam. She was sentenced to six years
:10:56. > :10:58.in prison after being detained by customs at Heathrow airport
:10:59. > :11:02.in possession of crack cocaine. Nearly three years
:11:03. > :11:04.into her jail term, she was sent to an open prison in
:11:05. > :11:07.North Yorkshire but she absconded, She has connections to Jamaica,
:11:08. > :11:11.London, Leeds, McAlphin has short cropped hair
:11:12. > :11:40.but often wears wigs Pick up the phone. You can call us.
:11:41. > :11:49.Calls are free. You can text us. You can e-mail us, too. What is Shannon
:11:50. > :11:54.What is Shannon up to?
:11:55. > :11:57.Now this is what our emergency services train for -
:11:58. > :12:01.Two cars have collided, and someone's trapped in the wreckage.
:12:02. > :12:04.In this case it's just a demonstration, but everyone here is
:12:05. > :12:08.Let's get closer and we can see there's a paramedic inside
:12:09. > :12:13.Let's grab a word with the ambulance.
:12:14. > :12:21.It is really important that you get into a crash vehicle as quickly as
:12:22. > :12:26.possible? That is right. We need to establish that the patient is safe
:12:27. > :12:30.and the scene is safe. That is something we do with the police and
:12:31. > :12:35.fire service. At the moment the ambulance crew are performing a
:12:36. > :12:41.primary survey. They will establish if there is any cab -- catastrophic
:12:42. > :12:45.injury. Which would mean the extrication was time critical. Once
:12:46. > :12:52.we have immobilised the patient, we work with the fire service. Let's
:12:53. > :12:56.have a talk to Jim Hutton from the fire service. What would your team
:12:57. > :13:03.be doing? Our first priority is safety. We work very closely with
:13:04. > :13:06.Matt's team to work out a rescue plan. In this case we have decided
:13:07. > :13:15.the rescue plan will be to use hydraulic cutters. We will be seeing
:13:16. > :13:19.the fire service using the hydraulic cutters later. The police also very
:13:20. > :13:24.important. This could be a crime scene as well as an accident scene.
:13:25. > :13:29.Peter Cunningham, you have got a lot of experience at this. What are the
:13:30. > :13:33.priorities of police? The first priority is with the casualties. We
:13:34. > :13:39.have a lady who has sustained a serious injury. The main thing is to
:13:40. > :13:45.coordinate the investigation. The first thing we will do is close the
:13:46. > :13:51.road off. This is to allow the fire brigade and ambulance to treat the
:13:52. > :13:56.casualty in a sterile area. And secondly, preserve any evidence that
:13:57. > :14:02.maybe at the scene. Obviously we're talking about... What are you
:14:03. > :14:09.looking for in terms of it being a crime scene? Any marks on the road.
:14:10. > :14:23.They may have been caused as a result of a collision.
:14:24. > :14:25.crime scene? Any marks on the road. They may have been I have been out
:14:26. > :14:30.with greater Manchester police's Road team when they have been using
:14:31. > :14:40.a new piece of kit that allows them to test whether drivers are high on
:14:41. > :14:46.drugs. That is later. We need your help in tracking down the
:14:47. > :14:52.thoughtless thieves who stole some valuable life-saving equipment. What
:14:53. > :14:58.has happened? At the beginning of April we had a break in. We were
:14:59. > :15:01.told by security on-site. Crews attended and discovered that the
:15:02. > :15:12.land Rovers were broken into, seriously damaged. Very similar to
:15:13. > :15:17.this one. There's very few of them in the country. Tell us what it is
:15:18. > :15:21.and what it is used for. There are only three in the country, coming
:15:22. > :15:26.from the States. We utilise this as an unpowered craft on fast flowing
:15:27. > :15:31.waters where we can't get a normal powered craft into a situation. So
:15:32. > :15:35.we can either paddle it to a casualty or use a rope connection.
:15:36. > :15:47.We can see some of your team in action right now. This isn't the
:15:48. > :15:50.actual boat that was stolen but you can see some of the work you do. The
:15:51. > :15:52.boat that has been stolen, it is water rescues, ice rescues, all
:15:53. > :15:54.those life-saving situations which you can't respond to at the moment
:15:55. > :15:57.because you don't have the equipment. That's right. We are very
:15:58. > :16:03.limited at the moment. It is certainly not a toy. You desperately
:16:04. > :16:09.needed back. If it's not in this state, what will it look like? It is
:16:10. > :16:16.five metres inflated. It was stolen in its own bark, about a metre
:16:17. > :16:20.square. About half a metre in depth. So it could be rolled up in a metre
:16:21. > :16:22.in depth. So it could be rolled up in about, it's going to be quite
:16:23. > :16:31.small. But this is life-saving equipment, give desperately needed
:16:32. > :16:37.yes. If you know anything about where it may be, please get in
:16:38. > :16:43.touch. Now it's time to take a look at today's crooks that have all been
:16:44. > :16:48.caught on camera. A newsagent in Basildon, Essex, last December. The
:16:49. > :16:52.manager is busy serving a customer as a man walks in. Within seconds,
:16:53. > :16:58.he is behind the counter and he's got his finger in the till. He grabs
:16:59. > :17:03.?150 in cash and makes a sharp exit. Two days later, detectives
:17:04. > :17:08.believe he raided three more newsagents in Basildon. In this one,
:17:09. > :17:11.he goes to pay for a drink and when the till open to pay for a drink and
:17:12. > :17:16.when the till OpenView the manager tells him there's limited cash on
:17:17. > :17:21.the premises, so she puts 60 quid in coins in a bath. He even has the
:17:22. > :17:31.audacity to ask for cigarettes. What a cheek! Tell us who this Cornershop
:17:32. > :17:34.Krug is. Time now for an armed robbery that happened at a
:17:35. > :17:39.Bedfordshire supermarket in January this year. Staff are cashing up the
:17:40. > :17:44.day's takings when a car pulls up outside an four men jump out.
:17:45. > :17:50.Dressed in overalls, they threatened staff with metal poles. They grab a
:17:51. > :17:55.cash box which contains ?25,000 and push it to the waiting Audi. They
:17:56. > :18:00.load it into the boot and drive off, almost leaving one of the robbers
:18:01. > :18:05.behind. Police say the dark blue Audi A4, which had falls 52 number
:18:06. > :18:09.plates, was later found abandoned. Did you see it being driven at speed
:18:10. > :18:17.through the town that night? We want to know. We are in a coffee shop in
:18:18. > :18:24.the southern area of London, just before Christmas last year. The man
:18:25. > :18:28.with the. K, blue jacket, backpack and white shoes seems to fancy a
:18:29. > :18:33.take-out, but he's after more than a cappuccino. He strides confidently
:18:34. > :18:38.passed the counter and into the staff office, where he tries the
:18:39. > :18:42.safe. No, that's locked. So instead he orders two mobile phones were the
:18:43. > :18:46.grand to go. This burglar will need a good barista if the police get
:18:47. > :18:54.hold of him. Tell us who he is, please. Recognise anyone? You know
:18:55. > :19:05.what to do, pick up the phone and call or text us. You can watch that
:19:06. > :19:08.CCTV again on our website. Remember, if you prefer, you can call
:19:09. > :19:15.Crimestoppers anonymously on the 0800 0468 999. Still to come...
:19:16. > :19:22.The smooth talking criminal who conned a farmer out more than 30,000
:19:23. > :19:30.quid. He was very slick, very confident, I never have known.
:19:31. > :19:34.Welcome back to our accident demonstration. You can see the fire
:19:35. > :19:39.service really busy here now. They are using hydraulic cutters to free
:19:40. > :19:44.the victim from the car. The paramedics are also still inside
:19:45. > :19:48.supporting her. At the scene of an accident, we are quite used to be
:19:49. > :19:52.police using one of these. A breathalyser. In the future they've
:19:53. > :19:57.got a new bit of kit at their disposal. I have been with Greater
:19:58. > :20:03.Manchester Police as they used it for the first time to test whether
:20:04. > :20:07.drivers were high on drugs. We all know about drink drivers and the
:20:08. > :20:12.carnage they cause. But there's another less well-known killer on
:20:13. > :20:16.our roads, drug driving. This man was caught by Greater Manchester
:20:17. > :20:19.Police having taken a cocktail of drugs. He eventually fell asleep at
:20:20. > :20:26.the wheel. Luckily, no one was injured. But drug driving can often
:20:27. > :20:29.have far more serious consequences. 19-year-old Lauren Charteris and her
:20:30. > :20:36.friends were killed after they got into a car with a driver who had
:20:37. > :20:45.taken drugs. Still devastated. Still expect her to walk through the door.
:20:46. > :20:51.At the end of the day, it was her choice to get in that car. I don't
:20:52. > :20:57.think, but I'll never know, that she realised that the driver had been on
:20:58. > :21:00.drugs. Until now, those who drive after taking drugs have been 50
:21:01. > :21:06.times less likely to be convicted than drunk drivers, but that's about
:21:07. > :21:12.to change. A new law on drug driving is due by the end of the year. And
:21:13. > :21:17.police are beginning to use this, the latest in drug testing
:21:18. > :21:24.technology. It has already been nicknamed the spitalyser. I went out
:21:25. > :21:28.with PCs Danny Moorhouse and Chris constant time, as they became the
:21:29. > :21:33.very first officers in Greater Manchester to use it. We are off to
:21:34. > :21:37.a location, what's happened so far? We've got an officer who has
:21:38. > :21:45.observed a vehicle that has been driving in what he would class as an
:21:46. > :21:49.idol manner. He has come to stop the vehicle and he is smoking leaves.
:21:50. > :21:53.The suspect has been arrested and the search has uncovered further
:21:54. > :21:59.evidence. This has been found in the glove box. He has admitted smoking
:22:00. > :22:07.it whilst he's been driving as we've been following him. The officers
:22:08. > :22:11.stopped the car because they could actually smell cannabis on the
:22:12. > :22:14.motorway behind the vehicle. That is how overpowering the smell is. We
:22:15. > :22:19.can still smell cannabis here right now. A bit later, we will see what
:22:20. > :22:24.happens when the driver becomes the very first in Manchester to be
:22:25. > :22:29.tested using the spitalyser. But first, we are back on the road in
:22:30. > :22:35.search of drug drivers. Where are we off to next? We are going out on
:22:36. > :22:40.patrol. Basically go to one of the town centres where the nightlife is
:22:41. > :22:42.quite busy. Chris and Danny have just received intelligence there is
:22:43. > :22:54.a potential drink driver heading our way. After spotting the car, they
:22:55. > :23:00.pull him over. We've just been speaking to the driver, have you
:23:01. > :23:03.found out anything more? We believe he has consumed alcohol tonight. We
:23:04. > :23:07.could smell alcohol on his breath. He has become a bit fidgety. We've
:23:08. > :23:13.asked him if he's got anything on him and he has produced that to us.
:23:14. > :23:21.We believe it to be cocaine. The man has to give a breath test to show
:23:22. > :23:27.how much he's drunk. He has blown 130 micrograms of alcohol, the legal
:23:28. > :23:31.limit is 35. He has been arrested on suspicion of prescribing a positive
:23:32. > :23:34.sample of breath, suspicion of drink-driving and possession of what
:23:35. > :23:39.we think is cocaine. With a positive test already for alcohol, there's no
:23:40. > :23:42.point carrying out a second test for drugs on this suspect. Time to see
:23:43. > :23:47.how the man we stopped earlier for allegedly smoking cannabis gets on
:23:48. > :23:50.when we test him with the spitalyser. The man who was arrested
:23:51. > :23:54.has been brought to the custody office and the custody Sergeant is
:23:55. > :24:04.running through things with him. Once he is booked in, he is asked to
:24:05. > :24:07.perform what is called a fit test. This takes into a series of simple
:24:08. > :24:10.tasks and helps Danny and Chris assessed the state he is in. He
:24:11. > :24:15.fails the test. Now it's time for the spitalyser. What I want you to
:24:16. > :24:20.do is put this end bit into the bottom of your mouth. I want you to
:24:21. > :24:23.squish it around in your saliva. This is the first use of the new
:24:24. > :24:27.drug testing kit by Greater Manchester Police. For now, the test
:24:28. > :24:32.has to be done back at the station and can only detect cannabis. In
:24:33. > :24:37.future, mobile machines will be used on the road to test for a wider
:24:38. > :24:41.range of drugs. The last few seconds ticking down on the machine. In
:24:42. > :24:46.relation to the saliva sample provided, this machine has examined
:24:47. > :24:53.it and decided that the sample should be obtained. We are going to
:24:54. > :24:58.get a medical practitioner in. The test has come back positive and the
:24:59. > :25:01.driver is bailed pending the outcome of the blood test. It is the first
:25:02. > :25:08.result for the spitalyser in Manchester. I'm joined now by
:25:09. > :25:13.Sergeant Ian Lamb, he has brought a spitalyser with him. Before we talk
:25:14. > :25:18.about that, let's rewind. How frustrating was it under the old
:25:19. > :25:21.system if you suspected that a motorist had taken drugs? Quite
:25:22. > :25:25.frustrating because initially there's a lot for us to do. We have
:25:26. > :25:31.to breathalyse them, negate alcohol, then we go to the fit test, touching
:25:32. > :25:34.the nose if we believe he has some sort of drugs or something like
:25:35. > :25:37.that. Then we have to get a doctor, they have to perform their
:25:38. > :25:43.examination before we can get blood. It can drag on for a few hours. A
:25:44. > :25:47.long winded process. This bit of kit is quite small, its inaction
:25:48. > :25:52.already. Take us through how it works. It's quite straightforward.
:25:53. > :25:58.You have a cartridge. On the top of the cartridge it's like a cigarette
:25:59. > :26:02.filter. We obtain a swab of saliva, that turns blue at the bottom. That
:26:03. > :26:06.goes into the machine along with that, it has a chemical in it. The
:26:07. > :26:10.two react together and it can analyse but cannabis at this stage.
:26:11. > :26:15.But there are going to be developments. Yes, it will introduce
:26:16. > :26:20.other drugs such as cocaine and carry on. Will you be backed up with
:26:21. > :26:34.a change in the law? The law is changing. It will make it easier.
:26:35. > :26:36.Initially we have to prove impairment. It will go through to a
:26:37. > :26:39.breath testing effect. You get swabbed, if you are positive for the
:26:40. > :26:42.drug on that you will go straight to blood. If you fail on the blood then
:26:43. > :26:45.you will get your license revoked. How will this make things safer for
:26:46. > :26:47.us on the roads? It makes us easier to detect drunk drivers and drug
:26:48. > :26:51.drivers, hopefully make it a pleasant place to be. We really got
:26:52. > :26:56.a sense of a cursed taking place here on Crimewatch Roadshow.
:26:57. > :27:01.Now we're off to Northamptonshire, where a farmer fell victim to a very
:27:02. > :27:05.slippery customer. Church farm in the picturesque Northamptonshire
:27:06. > :27:12.village of Rayfield on the green. It has been home to farmer Mark
:27:13. > :27:17.Arrowsmith all his life. We have a mixed farm, beef, sheep and arable.
:27:18. > :27:21.My family have been on this farm for 45 years. But farming is atop this
:27:22. > :27:24.farm for 45 years. But farming is a tough business these days, so mark
:27:25. > :27:29.hires out electrical generators as a sideline. The day before Christmas
:27:30. > :27:35.Eve, Mark got a last-minute order. I was just beginning to pluck and
:27:36. > :27:40.dress my Christmas chickens and turkeys and I had a phone call from
:27:41. > :27:44.a chap. He said his name was Alan Oates. He said his wife was doing
:27:45. > :27:49.Christmas parties and somebody had let him down. He wanted to hire a
:27:50. > :27:54.generator. The man calling himself Alan gave what he said was his
:27:55. > :28:00.wife's driving licence number as ID. He agreed to pay a ?600 deposit via
:28:01. > :28:05.check into Mark's bank and organised a fan to pick up a generator. He
:28:06. > :28:09.seemed very trustworthy because he always said, check your bank because
:28:10. > :28:19.I paid the deposit in your bank. It credited in my bank. It seemed like
:28:20. > :28:21.it was going to be OK. Alan Mann back later that day saying he needed
:28:22. > :28:24.more power. Mark agreed that a courier could pick up another
:28:25. > :28:29.generator the same day. He kept gaining my trust and phoning me and
:28:30. > :28:33.chatting. He said, your kit was very good, it did the job well.
:28:34. > :28:39.Everything was fine and you will have a lot of work next year. But
:28:40. > :28:42.Alan soon called back. The second generator wasn't powerful enough, so
:28:43. > :28:47.Mark agreed to swap it for a bigger one. And Allen had a bizarre final
:28:48. > :28:53.request. It seemed he'd forgotten to order his Christmas lunch. He said,
:28:54. > :28:58.I've forgotten to order my turkey so can you send turkey with the
:28:59. > :29:06.driver? Obviously, being a nice chap, I sent him a turkey with a
:29:07. > :29:11.generator and a driver. With the festivities under way, Marco wasn't
:29:12. > :29:15.too bothered when Alan rang to say he'd be returning all three
:29:16. > :29:19.generators after Christmas. He rang back and said, excuse me, my brother
:29:20. > :29:22.has called and we haven't seen him for a long time. He was going to
:29:23. > :29:28.have a drink with him and return it on the Friday. Don't ring because he
:29:29. > :29:34.wasn't going to answer his phone. But with Christmas over, there was
:29:35. > :29:38.no sign of the expensive machinery. People said, don't worry, it will
:29:39. > :29:42.most probably turn up Friday when he said he would. By Friday, no
:29:43. > :29:47.generators have been returned. Instead, there was a letter from the
:29:48. > :29:53.bank. The cheque had been returned, it bounced. It had a different name
:29:54. > :29:57.on it, then I definitely thought, well, this is not correct. I thought
:29:58. > :30:01.I would give him a ring but he never answered. Panicking, Mark drove
:30:02. > :30:05.straight to the addresses in Peterborough where the three
:30:06. > :30:11.generators, with 35 grand, had been sent. One was a derelict pub, one
:30:12. > :30:16.was an industrial estate. My heart sunk, I knew then it was never going
:30:17. > :30:22.to be seen again. He has had a very good Christmas present. Three
:30:23. > :30:26.generators and a nice hen turkey. He's had a good time and I'm
:30:27. > :30:34.thinking I may have had the worst Christmas in my life. This was a
:30:35. > :30:38.very clever, worked out crime. The suspect has used the details from a
:30:39. > :30:42.stolen driving licence. He has issued a check from a bank account
:30:43. > :30:48.which had previously been closed. The The police have managed to
:30:49. > :30:50.recover from some CCTV. This is by a lorry picking up one of the
:30:51. > :30:58.generators on the industrial estate in Peterborough. We are extremely
:30:59. > :31:01.interested in the transport ban which has been used to collect the
:31:02. > :31:06.second generator. It is distinctive in the fact it has a row of fog
:31:07. > :31:11.lights on the top of the front cab roof. It's bad, what he does cons
:31:12. > :31:15.you out of all your livelihood. You've worked hard for all your life
:31:16. > :31:22.and he just takes it overnight. You are left with nothing. I've lost my
:31:23. > :31:27.confidence, because all my business comes in over the phone. I've lost
:31:28. > :31:31.my trust with people ringing in. It's important this chap is caught
:31:32. > :31:34.because it could ruin other people's businesses and then ruin their
:31:35. > :31:45.lives. It's important he gets caught. Before he carries on and
:31:46. > :31:48.scams somebody else. That is a very sad story.
:31:49. > :31:50.If you have any information that can help Northamptonshire Police track
:31:51. > :31:55.Right, we're back at the fire service training centre
:31:56. > :32:02.Behind me you can see our victim is on a long board being carried to the
:32:03. > :32:06.ambulance - the fire brigade have just cut them out of the wreckage
:32:07. > :32:09.This is where the hard work really starts
:32:10. > :32:20.With me is Senior Collision Investigator David Holmes.
:32:21. > :32:27.There is a very particular test you do in a situation like this? Yes,
:32:28. > :33:04.because speed can be quite a significant issue,
:33:05. > :33:06.for how much grip there is on the road. We can use this number in
:33:07. > :33:11.calculations to figure out the speed of the vehicle as it left those tyre
:33:12. > :33:18.marks. Quite important when we are looking at serious collisions. The
:33:19. > :33:23.road is wet today. Many accidents do cause many accidents. Be stopping
:33:24. > :33:26.distances become extended and people should leave the extra bit of room
:33:27. > :33:34.between themselves and the vehicle in front. What other evidence will
:33:35. > :33:38.you be looking at? This devices for measuring. It is electronic
:33:39. > :33:45.surveying equipment. We use this to accurately measure the scene of a
:33:46. > :33:50.collision. There will be scuff marks, bits of glass etc. Anything
:33:51. > :33:53.that will give us an idea of the collision. What has gone on with the
:33:54. > :33:58.vehicles and hopefully come up with the cause of the accident. It is a
:33:59. > :34:03.crime scene potentially. This evidence has to be passed on to the
:34:04. > :34:11.coroner? Yes, the coroner or the criminal court. If we have
:34:12. > :34:16.fatalities, it becomes a very serious matter. These things are
:34:17. > :34:25.often prepared for coroner for criminal courts. Let's look at these
:34:26. > :34:31.tyres. In a day like today when we have had changeable conditions...
:34:32. > :34:36.This tyre, believe it or not, is a legal tyre. Just above the minimum
:34:37. > :34:42.legal thread depth. The one on the end completely illegal. You can see
:34:43. > :34:48.the outer thread starting to come through. Very dangerous. Sometimes
:34:49. > :34:51.we are stuck in traffic on the roads are closed but now we have a really
:34:52. > :34:51.good sense of what the police are doing.
:34:52. > :34:53.Now, one school in inner city Manchester
:34:54. > :34:57.has been forced to go back to doing things the old-fashioned way - with
:34:58. > :35:06.pen and paper - after thieves stole thousands of pounds worth of their
:35:07. > :35:19.Computer equipment. Is everybody OK? Good. Pupils here come from a
:35:20. > :35:26.variety of backgrounds and speak 30 different languages. Teachers like
:35:27. > :35:30.Martha face a real challenge. Today I am looking to see if you are using
:35:31. > :35:36.expression when you read a book. Back in March, the happy atmosphere
:35:37. > :35:40.in the school was disturbed by a break-in. You never think that a
:35:41. > :35:46.school will be targeted because you assume people have respect for those
:35:47. > :35:52.things because they provide everybody's children with the things
:35:53. > :35:57.that those children need. You don't think they would necessarily attack
:35:58. > :36:00.something that is so part of the local area. Martha was one of the
:36:01. > :36:07.first teachers in school that morning. There were a lot of things
:36:08. > :36:12.on the floor. It was really messy. We didn't understand what was going
:36:13. > :36:17.on. I had to sit down in the morning and explain what had happened. And
:36:18. > :36:22.that we needed to be very careful in the classroom that morning because
:36:23. > :36:27.my window had been smashed. And the children were quite upset. Moston
:36:28. > :36:31.Lane was in the process of upgrading security. The burglars broke in
:36:32. > :36:37.through some of the last of the old style doors about to be replaced
:36:38. > :36:41.they even stole part of their CCTV system. More than ?20,000 worth of
:36:42. > :36:47.new laptops and mini iPads for the children were gone. The people have
:36:48. > :36:52.known what to do. They have coming through the rear of the school to
:36:53. > :36:57.avoid the main road. They have gone straight to the location as to where
:36:58. > :37:00.the laptops and the iPads were kept. Police believe some criminals see
:37:01. > :37:05.this type of break-in as a victimless crime, or insurance
:37:06. > :37:11.replaces anything they steal. Those who felt the real impact of the
:37:12. > :37:19.break-in whether children. It made me feel really sad because I love
:37:20. > :37:24.playing on the computers. When people steal stuff from school,
:37:25. > :37:31.other people won't be able to use it. You definitely realise how much
:37:32. > :37:37.what they have done has affected the daily activities of the school. It
:37:38. > :37:41.has meant that the whole academic year has been lost in terms of the
:37:42. > :37:46.children's learning using those resources. The software on the iPads
:37:47. > :37:51.and laptops were specially designed to help people who do not speak
:37:52. > :37:55.English as a first language. With iPads, you don't need language to
:37:56. > :38:03.understand what to do. It also provides us with a re-source to give
:38:04. > :38:08.the children an opportunity to learn their own language. These items will
:38:09. > :38:14.be quite noticeable. The iPads, 18 in total. They are individually
:38:15. > :38:21.engraved with Moston Lane primary school. If somebody is offered and
:38:22. > :38:29.iPad, please make every attempt to check before buying. If there are
:38:30. > :38:32.are any suspicions, get in touch with the police. The school is
:38:33. > :38:37.finished upgrading its security and is waiting to find out if security
:38:38. > :38:41.will cover the cost. The children are still without a vital learning
:38:42. > :38:45.tool. Any bit of information could help and leaders to find out who did
:38:46. > :38:48.this, which would make a massive amount of difference to the children
:38:49. > :38:53.and to the parents who live in this community. Let's hope the pupils at
:38:54. > :38:55.Moston Lane get their iPads back soon.
:38:56. > :39:00.And if your home is one of the third of households in the UK that own one
:39:01. > :39:03.of these, you'll want to pay close attention now because online
:39:04. > :39:07.security expert Tony Neate is going to give us some tips to help keep
:39:08. > :39:21.Why are these things so appealing to criminals? Easy to steal and easy to
:39:22. > :39:25.sell. With the technology comes the ability to use that technology to
:39:26. > :39:30.safeguard yourself and your device. We have set up a demonstration. One
:39:31. > :39:34.of our team has taken a tablet and she has gone on the run. You are
:39:35. > :39:40.going to tell me how the technology will help us. You can set up an app
:39:41. > :39:44.or you can follow your tablet or your mobile phone. Here we are
:39:45. > :39:51.seeing one of your research making off with the tablet. She is going
:39:52. > :39:56.through Cardiff. She is making our way from the Millennium Stadium,
:39:57. > :40:02.which is the centre of Cardiff, and we are following. There she is. She
:40:03. > :40:06.is with the tablet. She is giving us a wave but it does not realise a
:40:07. > :40:10.police man is waiting to arrest her. If this was for real, this
:40:11. > :40:16.information you could send to the police? Absolutely. There are some
:40:17. > :40:20.other gadgets we have. You can actually have a photograph of the
:40:21. > :40:23.person who has stolen it. By the time they have put in the wrong
:40:24. > :40:29.sequence of pin numbers, it will take a photograph of you. We can see
:40:30. > :40:33.this right now. This is one of our team who has failed to put in the
:40:34. > :40:38.correct pin number. That could be sent to the owner, which you could
:40:39. > :40:43.send on the day the police? No yes. On top of that, automatically you
:40:44. > :40:47.can close your phone down. It deletes all the information. The
:40:48. > :40:52.criminal may have your phone but they have not got the data. There is
:40:53. > :40:59.another thing you are going to show us here. What is this? This uses the
:41:00. > :41:03.sensitivity of the tablet. There is an application on there. If you ever
:41:04. > :41:12.want to put it down and move away from it, activated. It gives you
:41:13. > :41:21.five seconds warning. The actual device becomes live. If I was a
:41:22. > :41:29.criminal and I went to take it... The alarm goes off. You need a pin
:41:30. > :41:38.to stop that. If I put in the wrong pin, access is denied. There are
:41:39. > :41:41.lots of examples on our website to tell you about that, including
:41:42. > :41:49.registering your phone if it gets stolen. What other things can people
:41:50. > :41:56.do to keep their devices safe? Registering is very important. It is
:41:57. > :42:00.a way to get the IMEI number on it. All of that information is on the
:42:01. > :42:05.website. Safeguard yourself, stop it being stolen. If it is stolen, have
:42:06. > :42:16.the necessary procedures in place to get it back. Thank you. That is just
:42:17. > :42:20.about it for today. We have had some great information coming in. Keep
:42:21. > :42:25.those calls coming. They really do make a difference. Last year your
:42:26. > :42:28.calls helped police make more than 50 arrests, including seven drug
:42:29. > :42:34.dealers, 20 thieves, seven robbers and nine violent criminals. Let's
:42:35. > :42:40.see if we can do better this year. Sian, where are you going to be
:42:41. > :42:45.tomorrow? We have had a dramatic accident demonstration here today.
:42:46. > :42:47.The fire service and ambulance service finished, but police
:42:48. > :42:53.officers still measuring the marks on the road. Tomorrow we are with
:42:54. > :42:58.greater Manchester police's mounted division, meeting Harrison, the
:42:59. > :43:03.veteran police horse as he polices his last ever football match. A very
:43:04. > :43:09.big day for him and 40,000 Manchester city fans. See you then.
:43:10. > :43:12.For more details, head to the website. Finally, we are going to
:43:13. > :43:18.leave you with another look at our wanted faces. Carlos. Until
:43:19. > :43:57.tomorrow, take care, buy buy. -- goodbye.
:43:58. > :44:02.The average person moves home eight times during their life.
:44:03. > :44:06.So that's eight times we have to move the sofa.
:44:07. > :44:10.Eight times we have to redecorate.
