:00:00. > :00:09.It's Friday, we're live for the last time this

:00:10. > :00:14.With your help we can put some more baddies behind bars.

:00:15. > :00:16.Today, the have-a-go pensioner who sent two

:00:17. > :00:29.I wasn't prepared to hit anybody but I can defend myself.

:00:30. > :00:53.In my sock. more than they bargained for.

:00:54. > :01:00.more help from you this morning to crack unsolved crimes.

:01:01. > :01:19.The cycling enthusiast who had just replaced their stolen bikes, only to

:01:20. > :01:21.be targeted again. For them to be stolen a second time, we could not

:01:22. > :01:25.leave it. And a groundbreaking technique

:01:26. > :01:28.that can tell if you've had a It's our last day with Wales'

:01:29. > :01:34.biggest police force and the Roadshow team is gearing up for

:01:35. > :01:36.the weekend on the Gower peninsula. Morning Rav we're in Rhossili Bay,

:01:37. > :01:39.its beach was voted number one in the UK and attracts thousands

:01:40. > :01:44.of holiday makers every year. Today we'll be finding out how

:01:45. > :01:49.the police and emergency services First this morning, the 84-year-old

:01:50. > :02:17.have-a-go hero who took It is so annoying to have stuff

:02:18. > :02:33.stolen. It really is. This is my shop, I work hard in here. Who knows

:02:34. > :02:35.what they could do if they felt too threatened. This is a seaside town

:02:36. > :02:39.just near Cardiff. This shop has been owned by Dennis for 25 years.

:02:40. > :02:43.It is now run by his son but 84-year-old Dennis still plays his

:02:44. > :02:49.part. I still feel I am a Mac member of the store, if I didn't, I would

:02:50. > :02:58.retire. I feel like I am needed. It is nice to feel needed and I carry

:02:59. > :03:06.on. By 9pm on Sunday evening on the 1st of June, things were quiet. By

:03:07. > :03:09.that time of the evening we are winding down. The last hour can be

:03:10. > :03:15.quite slow. I am in the back doing various things. I heard Sam, who has

:03:16. > :03:20.worked here for just over a year, calling. I realised from the sound

:03:21. > :03:27.of his voice something was seriously wrong. Two masked men had burst

:03:28. > :03:32.through the door and jumped over-the-counter. One brandished a

:03:33. > :03:37.wheel wrench and the other threatened the shop assistant with a

:03:38. > :03:41.knife will stop one of them grabbed cigarettes and the other tried to

:03:42. > :03:45.break into the till. Hearing the commotion, Dennis came out from the

:03:46. > :03:51.back of the shop. When I got to the bottom, I could see two men behind

:03:52. > :03:57.the counter. All in black, faces covered. Others might have

:03:58. > :04:05.retreated, but not Dennis. He confronted them. He said, give as

:04:06. > :04:15.the money. I said, sarcastically, yes, certainly. He said, I have got

:04:16. > :04:19.a knife. Knife or no knife, Dennis had no intention of letting them

:04:20. > :04:24.have anything and not the stolen cigarettes to the floor. They had

:04:25. > :04:30.picked on the wrong shop. Obviously at my age I don't want anything

:04:31. > :04:38.physical. I wasn't prepared to hit anybody but I can defend myself will

:04:39. > :04:45.stop the man holding a wheel wrench lashed out at the 84-year-old

:04:46. > :04:54.shopkeeper. Then his son, Mark came down the aisle. AIK think they

:04:55. > :05:00.thought then, we are at -- I think they thought they were outnumbered

:05:01. > :05:06.and ran away. Dennis had got the better of them. I was gasping like a

:05:07. > :05:15.fish. I am slightly asthmatic and I was gasping a bit. This could have

:05:16. > :05:23.been worse. Dennis was lucky to have escaped with nothing more than

:05:24. > :05:26.bruising. Even though what he did was brave, it is what we call a gut

:05:27. > :05:32.reaction to what was happening. The member of staff behind the counter,

:05:33. > :05:38.when he was spoken to afterwards, was in shock. Although the men were

:05:39. > :05:45.wearing masks, someone might recognise them from this CCTV

:05:46. > :05:52.footage. Their clothing is quite distinctive, especially one whose

:05:53. > :05:57.top appears to have white paint splattered across the top of it.

:05:58. > :06:02.This is a serious crime. We are keen to find them. We are appealing for

:06:03. > :06:14.anybody to come forward who may be able to help. In the aftermath of

:06:15. > :06:21.the attack, Dennis has been left Moore said than angry. I loathe the

:06:22. > :06:26.thought of teenagers having been stupid enough to attempt something

:06:27. > :06:31.like that. And also carrying offensive weapons even if they did

:06:32. > :06:35.not seem to know what to do with them, places them in another

:06:36. > :06:44.category and the thought of them going to prison for a long time is

:06:45. > :06:49.horrifying. Dennis decided to tackle these robbers and you would not

:06:50. > :06:53.advise that? No, he is 84 years of age, but don't get involved with

:06:54. > :07:04.these people, think of your own personal safety. What do you know of

:07:05. > :07:11.the two men? Two males, aged between 17 and 19 years. We have a witness

:07:12. > :07:17.we want to speak to. Seen on the CCTV entering the shop as they have

:07:18. > :07:24.left. We need that person to come forward. That witness did see the

:07:25. > :07:33.robbers as they left? Yes, we can piece it together. You think it

:07:34. > :07:36.could link to an earlier robbery? At 1030 a.m. In April, there was a

:07:37. > :07:42.similar attack when the person responsible was wearing a

:07:43. > :07:49.distinctive jacket. They are being investigated together. If you can

:07:50. > :07:55.help, do get in touch. Make sure you pick up the phone.

:07:56. > :08:02.Some network and mobile operators will charge.

:08:03. > :08:05.You'll be charged at your standard message rate.

:08:06. > :08:09.For more than 100 years police have been using fingerprints

:08:10. > :08:14.But scientists at Sheffield Hallam University have discovered that

:08:15. > :08:18.the unique patterns on the tips of our fingers can reveal a lot

:08:19. > :08:38.Now I know from my time in the force that quite often only

:08:39. > :08:49.Yes that's right and if you take a look through the microscope now

:08:50. > :08:56.I'm sure you'll be able to tell me the difference between the two?

:08:57. > :09:03.This is the sort of thing the lab would not be too happy with me

:09:04. > :09:09.because it is blurred and a bit missing. They would not be happy

:09:10. > :09:13.with that for identification purposes, but your research is

:09:14. > :09:19.proving you can get a lot of information from something like

:09:20. > :09:25.that? Yes, we have technology which enables you to detect the chemistry

:09:26. > :09:31.in the finger rinse. Very interesting. You will show us some

:09:32. > :09:40.examples. We have three images. What is the top one? This is one mark of

:09:41. > :09:43.one suspect. It is a real crime scene Mark. What we have done with

:09:44. > :09:51.the second one, we can detect multiple spaces in one analysis. On

:09:52. > :10:00.the top panel we can see a fatty acid which we all have in sweat. I

:10:01. > :10:06.have superimposed them ocular image on this one. Tell others what you

:10:07. > :10:12.have discovered? The other chemical we have discovered is cocaine. You

:10:13. > :10:25.have gone one step further on the bottom one? We found the presence of

:10:26. > :10:29.the cocaine metabolite of them. It tells us immediately the suspect has

:10:30. > :10:40.not just touched cocaine but in Jess did it. So the person who left the

:10:41. > :10:45.market has taken cocaine? Absolutely and that

:10:46. > :10:52.market has taken cocaine? Absolutely scenario. You have tried this on

:10:53. > :10:58.food? Yes, I drank a cup of coffee and after ten minutes I could see a

:10:59. > :11:03.clear signal for caffeine. So it is not just what you have touch, what

:11:04. > :11:09.is coming out? And that our medical implications? We have started

:11:10. > :11:15.determining the sex of offenders through the unit chemistry. One of

:11:16. > :11:18.our biggest ambitions is to look at medical conditions, again from

:11:19. > :11:22.unique chemicals present in finger marks. I know the West Yorkshire

:11:23. > :11:28.Police are trialling this. The Gower Peninsula is famous

:11:29. > :11:31.for its rugged coastline. But this, with the constant

:11:32. > :11:51.stream of holiday makers, means What are the main challengers? The

:11:52. > :11:53.Gower Peninsula is an area of outstanding natural beauty and we do

:11:54. > :11:59.get thousands of visitors every year. It is a low crime area but we

:12:00. > :12:11.like to keep people safe. We work with other agencies to conduct

:12:12. > :12:20.patrols of campsites and make sure people are safe, vigilant and not

:12:21. > :12:25.committing any crime. We ensure people understand and they have

:12:26. > :12:27.happy memories of visiting the Gower Peninsula and leave here safely.

:12:28. > :12:29.Also dealing with missing people? Yes, there are a number of missing

:12:30. > :12:33.people reported to us and we will work to provide the extra level of

:12:34. > :12:37.service to locate those people and return them safely.

:12:38. > :12:41.Well one of those agencies is the coastguard. If someone is found in a

:12:42. > :12:44.tricky position then police call on their expertise to help rescue them.

:12:45. > :12:48.Lee Haigh is from the Coastguard and for Crimewatch Roadshow this morning

:12:49. > :12:55.we've got someone who needs rescuing from a tricky spot.

:12:56. > :13:07.What is going on here? It is a training exercise. Typical thing we

:13:08. > :13:16.are called to. Someone stuck on a clip, has fallen down, cut off by

:13:17. > :13:19.the tide and has attempted to climb. We will come out with local

:13:20. > :13:23.volunteers and they will come down and recover the person and take them

:13:24. > :13:31.back to safety. Tell others about the kit you are using, how does it

:13:32. > :13:36.work? We put the quad pod at the top of the cliff and it makes it easier

:13:37. > :13:41.to descend and makes it safer and more comfortable when we get the

:13:42. > :13:44.casualty back up. It is a slow walking movements because this is

:13:45. > :13:49.someone who will have hurt themselves and cannot make it back

:13:50. > :13:53.up themselves? They are in a position where they are very

:13:54. > :14:00.frightened so it is controlled slow recovery. Something we are used to,

:14:01. > :14:06.but something very alien to them to be walking back up. So we do it very

:14:07. > :14:13.gently. Thanks for talking is through what is happening. Later in

:14:14. > :14:18.the programme we will be seeing the top and to safety.

:14:19. > :14:22.Here on Crimewatch Roadshow we've seen our fair share of criminals who

:14:23. > :14:23.trick their victims into handing over cash under false pretences.

:14:24. > :14:27.We went out with police in Newport as they tried to crackdown

:14:28. > :14:39.These officers from Gwent Police are from operation rogue trader. A

:14:40. > :14:48.national campaign targeting scrupulous people. This operation is

:14:49. > :14:55.aimed at catching them out on the road. In an unmarked car, they are

:14:56. > :15:00.hunting for any commercial vehicles that arouse suspicion. The car is

:15:01. > :15:06.equipped with automatic number plate recognition. Two cameras on the car

:15:07. > :15:10.to read the number plates of the cars travelling pastas are behind

:15:11. > :15:15.us. We can check whether the vehicle has tax and insurance. Stuff like

:15:16. > :15:23.that. We can turn around and go after that. A passing van has

:15:24. > :15:28.triggered the system. It was a construction type vehicle. He

:15:29. > :15:32.catches up with the van and pulls it over. We are

:15:33. > :15:37.catches up with the van and pulls it over. doing an operation at the

:15:38. > :15:44.moment. I am going to pull in front of you and I want you to follow me

:15:45. > :15:48.to check site down the road. This is the check site, the vehicles and

:15:49. > :15:54.their occupants will be investigated in detail. We have a number of

:15:55. > :15:59.agencies looking at drivers, details, condition of the vehicle,

:16:00. > :16:05.whether people are licensed to carry out elements of work and we will

:16:06. > :16:10.take the details of people on board, gather intelligence. The fans are

:16:11. > :16:15.coming in thick and fast and many are found to have serious effects. A

:16:16. > :16:25.smashed window brought this truck to the attention of the police. Now an

:16:26. > :16:29.inspector is checking the tyres. That has been over the legal limit

:16:30. > :16:35.for a long time. It is not over half of what we require. Any vehicles in

:16:36. > :16:40.poor shape are taken off the road until the owner makes the necessary

:16:41. > :16:43.repairs. They use these vehicles on a daily basis and some of the

:16:44. > :16:50.defects are dangerous, which could result in a serious accident.

:16:51. > :16:53.Officers on patrol thought that this red van was being driven erratically

:16:54. > :16:58.and they pulled it into the check site. Although the aim of the

:16:59. > :17:02.operation is to disrupt rogue trading, this time they suspect

:17:03. > :17:10.something different and they bring in the sniffer dog. Anything on you

:17:11. > :17:20.that you should not have? Drugs. Cannabis. Where on the drugs --

:17:21. > :17:28.whereon you are the drugs can make in your sock? Please bend down. We

:17:29. > :17:34.have recovered the quantity of cannabis and a quantity of a white

:17:35. > :17:38.substance which are believed to be amphetamines. He has been arrested

:17:39. > :17:43.on suspicion of possession of controlled drugs. The driver later

:17:44. > :17:46.received a caution for possession of cannabis and amphetamines.

:17:47. > :17:49.Meanwhile, there has been a development with the first catch. It

:17:50. > :17:55.turns out the driver is not insured to drive the van. At this moment, I

:17:56. > :17:59.am reporting you for driving without insurance. You do not have to say

:18:00. > :18:02.anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention no

:18:03. > :18:09.something upon which you later rely on in court. Do you understand? The

:18:10. > :18:16.driver is fined ?300 on the spot and gets six points on his licence. The

:18:17. > :18:19.van is seized and impounded. So far, it has been a busy morning for

:18:20. > :18:23.everyone involved in the operation and it has turned up a lot more than

:18:24. > :18:30.just traffic offences. Intelligence has been gathered for Trading

:18:31. > :18:33.Standards. The Department of Work and Pensions have found numerous

:18:34. > :18:36.people who appear to be working whilst claiming benefits. As a rogue

:18:37. > :18:39.trader operation, it is very successful.

:18:40. > :18:43.Now we left you with a bit of a cliff hanger earlier as the

:18:44. > :18:45.coastguard set about rescuing our casualty from the cliffside. The

:18:46. > :18:54.rescue is coming along well, I hope, isn't it Lee Haigh?

:18:55. > :19:00.Yes, the casualty is coming up with a technician, being brought back

:19:01. > :19:05.into safety. He will be checked over and then he can go on his way if we

:19:06. > :19:08.are happy. It is a time-consuming process. A great many ropes and a

:19:09. > :19:14.huge team involved. Where do these people come from? They are from the

:19:15. > :19:20.local Rhossili area, local volunteers. They do not get paid for

:19:21. > :19:24.this. They do this as a servers to the community. They all carry a

:19:25. > :19:29.pager and when it goes off, become and do this type of thing. And what

:19:30. > :19:32.sort of training today need to? They train every week in various aspects

:19:33. > :19:40.of the duties they have to carry out. To make sure they are appeared

:19:41. > :19:48.to come out when it is actually needed. And they have stopped at the

:19:49. > :19:53.moment, from what I've see, why is that? What do they need to do before

:19:54. > :19:59.they can come further up you might we use a pulley system for the

:20:00. > :20:03.recovery, we have got wenches as well but we like to do it this way

:20:04. > :20:11.because it is quiet. And we feel it is safer. If we need to stop in a

:20:12. > :20:15.hurry, it is instantaneous. Depending on the height, we may need

:20:16. > :20:19.to reset the device. And you have been using this for 23 years. Is

:20:20. > :20:24.there any particular rescue that sticks in the memory? We are a busy

:20:25. > :20:27.team here and we have had several commendations but the one that

:20:28. > :20:34.sticks in my mind is when we had to make teenage girls who were stuck on

:20:35. > :20:38.up fine but when the technician went up fine but when the technician went

:20:39. > :20:43.over to the second, she fell off a cliff and he caught her in his arms.

:20:44. > :20:45.over to the second, she fell off a Well, that is a happy ending. Are

:20:46. > :20:53.there any parts of the course line that are too tricky to get to?

:20:54. > :20:56.there any parts of the course line really. The guys have been born and

:20:57. > :21:00.bred in the village so they know the area intimately. They will always do

:21:01. > :21:05.their very best to get to any part of the area. We can see the casualty

:21:06. > :21:13.coming to the top of the cliff. It of the area. We can see the casualty

:21:14. > :21:19.disorientated, if of the area. We can see the casualty

:21:20. > :21:24.it to the top. The next stage will be first aid? Yes, we will

:21:25. > :21:26.it to the top. The next stage will them back to a point of safety and

:21:27. > :21:30.the guys are first aid trained. They will check them out and if they had

:21:31. > :21:31.any injuries, we would have a paramedic standing by to treat them.

:21:32. > :21:33.any injuries, we would have a If needed, we can put

:21:34. > :21:38.any injuries, we would have a over the cliff to deliver medical

:21:39. > :21:41.aids down there. And a happy ending hereto. I'm off to get some tea and

:21:42. > :21:47.biscuits. Now, a handgun, a stolen bank card

:21:48. > :21:50.and a man stealing makeup. It's all been caught on CCTV but do you

:21:51. > :22:00.recognise anyone? London, March this year. Two people

:22:01. > :22:04.are working in the cashier is offers of a supermarket when there is a

:22:05. > :22:07.knock on the door. The door is opened and three men armed with a

:22:08. > :22:11.handgun and a metal pole burst in. They hustle the staff members into

:22:12. > :22:15.the corner of the room and force the young woman to open the safe. And

:22:16. > :22:20.they are not hanging around. In fact, they're so busy shopping

:22:21. > :22:25.receipts and cash into a carrier bag that they leave the gun on the desk.

:22:26. > :22:29.But it is snapped up by one of the robbers before all three bundle out

:22:30. > :22:34.of the room. This violent gang stole ?10,000 in cash. Do you recognise

:22:35. > :22:44.these men beneath their masks? You know what you have to do?

:22:45. > :22:47.October last year and two thieves are working this bank in Leicester

:22:48. > :22:52.City centre. They hang around the branch before spotting a potential

:22:53. > :22:57.victim. An 81-year-old woman. While she bends down to get her bank card,

:22:58. > :23:01.they make their move. Peering over her shoulders as she types in her

:23:02. > :23:07.pin. Having got it, believe the bank together. But the man is impatient

:23:08. > :23:12.to know why the elderly lady is taking so long. So he goes back in

:23:13. > :23:17.to check where she is. Police say the victim's debit card was stolen

:23:18. > :23:23.later on and used to take out cash and buy a mobile phone in the city

:23:24. > :23:31.centre, totalling nearly ?700. This peer needs to be caught now. Give us

:23:32. > :23:36.a call. This shoplifter has got some cheek.

:23:37. > :23:40.Bold as brass, he strolls into a high-street chemist in London and

:23:41. > :23:45.pockets cosmetics from the shelves. Take a look, as he starts items down

:23:46. > :23:51.his trousers. He even drops one. Clumsy. Subtlety is not his strong

:23:52. > :23:55.point. When he runs out of hands, he uses his mouth. That is when he is

:23:56. > :24:00.spotted by the cashier is. He heads to the till, but he has not got any

:24:01. > :24:08.intention of paying. He swaggered out of the shop with 200 quid's

:24:09. > :24:14.worth of goods. We would be made up if you named him.

:24:15. > :24:17.Any of that lot look familiar? If so, get in touch. And there are

:24:18. > :24:20.still plenty of opportunities for you to turn detective this morning.

:24:21. > :24:35.We need to track down the crooks living it up in the sunshine after

:24:36. > :24:46.Still to come, the shopkeeper desperate to be reunited with a very

:24:47. > :24:48.special pirates. -- parrots. Earlier in the programme, we saw the police

:24:49. > :24:54.helicopter scrambled to get our. It's one of the main ways police

:24:55. > :24:57.here can find missing people. PC Alan Frost is at the controls

:24:58. > :25:00.this morning. It's an impressive looking machine, what sort of things

:25:01. > :25:07.do you do? People are found in the area,

:25:08. > :25:11.especially on this coastline. We use various bits of kit on the aircraft

:25:12. > :25:20.to locate them. The main bit of kit is the HD camera, containing a

:25:21. > :25:28.lowlight camera, a zoom camera, and the infrared thermal camera. It is

:25:29. > :25:33.an expensive bit of kit, ?750,000. But when used properly, it is

:25:34. > :25:38.fantastic. Let's look inside. A small area, but packed with

:25:39. > :25:41.equipment. It is indeed. All the pilots instruments are there, and

:25:42. > :25:49.the police officer will be in the back. A touch-screen system, and an

:25:50. > :25:56.inflatable rescue device that we can deploy from the aircraft to assist

:25:57. > :26:01.people in difficulty. And we have some CCTV footage that we can show

:26:02. > :26:09.of a recent operation looking for a missing person. Yes. A 84-year-old

:26:10. > :26:15.man was missing in the Swansea area and a number of police officers

:26:16. > :26:18.attempted to locate him at 1am. The aircraft attended and managed to

:26:19. > :26:23.locate him within a reasonable amount of time. He was located safe

:26:24. > :26:32.and well, lying next to a shopping trolley. He had obviously, if he had

:26:33. > :26:35.been there for longer, he could have been in trouble. But he went to

:26:36. > :26:40.hospital and he was OK. On the other side of the helicopter, there is

:26:41. > :26:51.some other kit, almost in parallel with the camera. That is the light

:26:52. > :26:58.sensor device. It lights up a football field at night time. It

:26:59. > :27:04.will mean enhanced safety for police officers and members of the public

:27:05. > :27:08.who may be trying to be found. You have alluded to some of the cost

:27:09. > :27:13.already. It costs a lot just to keep this in the air. It is an extensive

:27:14. > :27:18.item. It is approximately ?1000 an hour to keep the aircraft in the

:27:19. > :27:20.air. But then again, it enhances the safety of not only the police

:27:21. > :27:27.officers but the thousands of visitors we get to the region every

:27:28. > :27:32.year. Thank you for the guided tour. Back to you, Rav.

:27:33. > :27:35.For a lot of people holidays mean hobbies, and that's true for the

:27:36. > :27:39.couple who were targeted in our next crime. The cycle mad duo enjoyed

:27:40. > :27:42.getting out on their bikes, until thieves put the brakes on.

:27:43. > :27:50.We would like to stay in this house but it does not feel the same any

:27:51. > :27:58.more. It is just a horrible feeling, that somebody is watching

:27:59. > :28:05.you. For Joe and any Lucas, cycling is a way of life. We met 56 years

:28:06. > :28:12.ago. Joe used to cycle every weekend, so we thought -- I thought

:28:13. > :28:17.if I wanted to see him, I needed to get a bike. Every holiday, we take

:28:18. > :28:21.the bikes to France, Portugal, Italy, Ireland. We got engaged in

:28:22. > :28:28.Ireland. It is a big part of our life. The bikes were high-tech and

:28:29. > :28:31.expensive but cycling took a back seat when the couple's first child

:28:32. > :28:39.was born. To make way for the family, the bikes were locked in a

:28:40. > :28:43.shared outside. On the evening of the 8th of January, three men got

:28:44. > :28:49.into the back garden. In the house, Amy was alone with Tommy. IK Kim

:28:50. > :28:58.upstairs to have a gaffe and get ready. -- I took him upstairs. The

:28:59. > :29:01.men broke the lock on the shed and insight, founded the three bikes

:29:02. > :29:07.locked together. They were able to carry them out of the garden without

:29:08. > :29:11.being spotted. Got home from work at 7:00pm and I saw that the gate was

:29:12. > :29:17.open. And went along the side passage to the back garden and both

:29:18. > :29:23.doors were wide open. My heart dropped. It was an immediate

:29:24. > :29:30.horrible feeling, knowing that my wife and son were in the house. It

:29:31. > :29:34.made me really angry. One of the bikes was particularly special to

:29:35. > :29:39.Joel. It was the first bike and had a Chibok second-hand, which are

:29:40. > :29:43.wrote from San Francisco to Los Angeles with a friend. It was my

:29:44. > :29:47.dream bike. You never thought I would have a bike like that. Why

:29:48. > :29:51.would have kept it forever and hopefully Tommy could have written

:29:52. > :29:54.it when he was older. Joe and Amy replaced the bikes and instead of

:29:55. > :30:01.putting them in the shed, they kept them in the house. But they were

:30:02. > :30:10.storm at safer. When it happened again, it was devastating. It seems

:30:11. > :30:15.that someone is watching us and they know that we have these bikes. We

:30:16. > :30:19.are not able to keep them here, which is horrible. On the morning of

:30:20. > :30:24.the 27th of April, Joe and Amy woke up to find that the three

:30:25. > :30:28.replacement bikes had been taken when their van had been broken into.

:30:29. > :30:32.For the bikes to be stolen a second time within four months, we could

:30:33. > :30:36.not believe it. Joe and Amy are not the only ones. Criminals will often

:30:37. > :30:40.return once stolen items have been replaced. Regular thieves are aware

:30:41. > :30:46.of the procedures involved with insurance and they will wait and

:30:47. > :30:51.target vulnerable victims for a second time. Joe and Amy now feel

:30:52. > :30:58.vulnerable and are thinking of taking drastic action. I do not feel

:30:59. > :31:04.safe in the house any more. I do not want to move but it seems like the

:31:05. > :31:11.only option at the moment. Many victims of crime feel very similar

:31:12. > :31:16.to Joel and Amy. It is an intrusion on their perceived. Unfortunately,

:31:17. > :31:22.their confidence in their property can be destroyed. If it is dark

:31:23. > :31:29.outside, my stomach is twisted in knots. It is unsettling for all of

:31:30. > :31:39.us. It is not a nice thing. Especially when you have such a

:31:40. > :31:46.young baby. Is it common that somebody to be targeted twice?

:31:47. > :31:51.Unfortunately it is not uncommon. Once they have been once, the

:31:52. > :31:56.thieves know what they are looking for and can return. These are

:31:57. > :32:07.specific bikes that were stolen? Yes, six bikes between January and

:32:08. > :32:15.April this year. We know bike crime is a growing concern to the police

:32:16. > :32:19.because in the last year it has gone up why 60% and in Cardiff it is 20%.

:32:20. > :32:22.You have some CCTV that demonstrates this? The CCTV shows how easy it

:32:23. > :32:28.is. Cable cutters or brute force alone. Sports facilities, university

:32:29. > :32:39.buildings, these facilities are very vulnerable. Lots of places bring

:32:40. > :32:46.their bikes on holiday. Lock your bike to something immovable. That is

:32:47. > :32:48.great advice. In keeping with this holiday vibe we are asking for your

:32:49. > :32:57.help to find some fugitives who think they can evade justice while

:32:58. > :33:02.topping up their tan. We have the National Crime Agency to explain.

:33:03. > :33:08.Many criminals think they can go to Spain and go on the run and evade

:33:09. > :33:15.capture. Some are choosing to go further afield? Yes, our role is to

:33:16. > :33:17.protect the public from serious organised and we work with

:33:18. > :33:20.international partners and the public to track down British

:33:21. > :33:27.fugitives. We have had some success, but we are finding Spain,

:33:28. > :33:32.which used to be the destination of choice has been taken over by places

:33:33. > :33:37.like the Netherlands and Cyprus. Give us some of the figures. In the

:33:38. > :33:43.last few years we have tracked down and arrested and bring back to the

:33:44. > :33:50.UK, 74 out of 110 most serious and organised criminals. Three more we

:33:51. > :34:03.are looking at today. Let's start with this first one.

:34:04. > :34:14.James Tarrant has been convicted of possessing cocaine and heroin and

:34:15. > :34:25.the possession of a firearm. OK, what about him? A 70-year-old man

:34:26. > :34:37.originally from Limassol in Cyprus. We think he is in Cyprus. He has

:34:38. > :34:46.been conveyed did not differ ordering 20,000 members of the

:34:47. > :34:49.British public and has made ?4 million from his criminal ventures.

:34:50. > :34:51.Stephen Blondel. Sometimes calls himself Stephen Owen. We believe he

:34:52. > :34:53.is in Spain. Has been convicted of supplying heroin, up and down the

:34:54. > :34:55.West Coast of the UK. They need to be brought back for justice. With

:34:56. > :34:59.your help we can get this lot out of the sunshine. But a couple of them

:35:00. > :35:09.could be dangerous, so don't approach them. You can call those

:35:10. > :35:14.using the numbers on screen. Now to the raiders who broke into a

:35:15. > :35:22.Newport pet shop and made off with thousands of pounds worth of hand

:35:23. > :35:25.reared parrots. We are constantly worried, every

:35:26. > :35:36.time we come in in the morning, what we will find. We have nightmares. It

:35:37. > :35:42.has been a labour of love. For seven years, Sue Coomb has worked day and

:35:43. > :35:48.night building her business and for her and her partner, it is much more

:35:49. > :35:55.than a pet shop. Each and every bird are our baby birds. On the evening

:35:56. > :36:04.of April the 15th, staff lot. As usual leaving the takings in the

:36:05. > :36:11.tail. But just a few hours later, the doors were forced open. A

:36:12. > :36:16.timestamp on the till receipt indicates it was opened at 2:38am

:36:17. > :36:20.when the contents were emptied. The thieves cleared the shelves before

:36:21. > :36:26.turning their attention to more lucrative stock. I know they tried

:36:27. > :36:33.to get the cockatoo because they left one of the cages on the side

:36:34. > :36:39.and the door wide open and the food bowl on the floor. They tried to

:36:40. > :36:45.entice him. But the thieves were successful in bagging a nonvenomous

:36:46. > :36:54.rat snake and add valuable breeding pair of African grey parrots. On the

:36:55. > :36:58.business side it is going to cost thousands of pounds we cannot afford

:36:59. > :37:05.to lose. It has had a massive effect on them and their confidence and in

:37:06. > :37:07.the security of the store. It is a small business and they cannot

:37:08. > :37:19.afford to take the loss. But the financial cost has not been as hard

:37:20. > :37:25.to bear than John Snow, the African breeding bird. His ten, she may

:37:26. > :37:34.never breed again. We could put her with another male, but we could lose

:37:35. > :37:39.thousands of pounds a year in babies. They will have frightened

:37:40. > :37:48.him, he will not have known what was happening. Now she is anxious it

:37:49. > :37:55.could happen again. I am constantly worried in the day, when we lock up.

:37:56. > :37:59.Constantly worried when we come in in the morning, what we will find.

:38:00. > :38:06.She did say she would either move or pack it in altogether. She cannot

:38:07. > :38:10.deal with any loss again. The value that was taken amounted to more than

:38:11. > :38:19.?2000 but the theft has had an effect beyond money. On the

:38:20. > :38:30.emotional side of it, stealing dog bowls and dog leads is one thing,

:38:31. > :38:33.but when they steal pet birds, they don't have a clue of the impact. We

:38:34. > :38:35.have used social media, put messages out on Facebook if anybody is trying

:38:36. > :38:46.to sell these parrots or the snake. John Snow is the one I want to get

:38:47. > :38:51.back. It is very hard. Your mind is constantly thinking, where is he?

:38:52. > :38:59.Mainly I am thinking, is he still alive? We would be over the moon to

:39:00. > :39:11.have him back where he belongs. We know him, we know his character. He

:39:12. > :39:15.is our bird, he belongs to others. If you can help on that, get in

:39:16. > :39:21.touch. We have seen a cliff rescue, the police helicopter now let's turn

:39:22. > :39:28.out to deceive. We have come to the lock-out and with me is Audrey

:39:29. > :39:34.Frank, one of an army of 50 volunteers. We don't take our eyes

:39:35. > :39:40.off it, unless we're looking at people on the cliff. Sometimes it is

:39:41. > :39:43.people popping in and out of this lookout but you get involved with

:39:44. > :39:53.rings generally? We watch for anything, boats, fishing vessels,

:39:54. > :39:58.pleasure craft, surfers, fishermen. Our major concern, we watch the

:39:59. > :40:04.tidal island where people head off to make sure they don't get stuck.

:40:05. > :40:11.We have a notice board giving the times, there is a five-hour gap you

:40:12. > :40:16.can walk out there and we hope they come back in time and don't have to

:40:17. > :40:21.be rescued. We have not had anybody rescued this year, but in years gone

:40:22. > :40:25.by, we have had people who have had. We report to the Coast Guard and the

:40:26. > :40:28.Coast Guard deploy who they think necessary, so that involves the

:40:29. > :40:36.cliff rescue, the lifeboat. Sometimes the helicopter. Thanks the

:40:37. > :40:40.showing me around in here. It is a small area where many members of the

:40:41. > :40:44.team have to work because they are operational for most of the time.

:40:45. > :40:47.But they have had a break in themselves so they have been the

:40:48. > :40:54.victims of crime. But they have been working with many agencies and one

:40:55. > :40:58.of the agencies is the RNLI. Jeff, you have a walkie-talkie, give the

:40:59. > :41:11.message because there is a boat on the water? Very well. Lifeboat,

:41:12. > :41:22.over. They are very busy this time of year? Extremely, this time of the

:41:23. > :41:34.year. Hopefully involved in more safety than anything else. A, out.

:41:35. > :41:38.They are very busy. Many sea kayaks and a big increase in the number of

:41:39. > :41:46.those incidents we know you have had to be called out here. We know you

:41:47. > :41:47.have read training operation and sometimes on live television, it

:41:48. > :41:50.does interrupt. And before we go, we've got some

:41:51. > :41:53.updates on a couple of cases we've You may remember our appeal

:41:54. > :41:58.for information on the suspected arson in Roath in

:41:59. > :42:00.Cardiff from Wednesday's programme. South Wales Police tell us they

:42:01. > :42:04.have since arrested a man. This wanted face -

:42:05. > :42:05.Maxwell Michael Parsons. He was sentenced in his absence for

:42:06. > :42:09.a sophisticated fraud which cost the Well, great news -

:42:10. > :42:14.he's now in custody He'll be transferred to prison to

:42:15. > :42:34.start We have been sent some promising new

:42:35. > :42:35.leads of the armed robbery at a jewellers in Leeds. They are chasing

:42:36. > :42:38.that up as we speak. Now Sian, your wheels are rolling

:42:39. > :42:42.again, where are you heading next? Rav we're got a lot of travelling to

:42:43. > :42:45.do between now and Monday morning. We're off to the North East

:42:46. > :42:48.of England where we'll be out on the roads with Cleveland Police,

:42:49. > :42:52.who have a brand new approach to spotting dangerous drivers -

:42:53. > :42:55.from the cab of an HGV. For more details

:43:06. > :43:08.we'll leave you with another look at Somebody out there knows where these

:43:09. > :43:14.people are - if you do, call us.
