:00:58. > :01:02.We're live riv morning travelling the UK. Today, the parents of April
:01:03. > :01:07.Jones back a new initiative to help find missing children. If it saves
:01:08. > :01:13.one child and the stress we have gone through, it will be worth it.
:01:14. > :01:22.Behind closed doors - could there be a cannabis factory in your street?
:01:23. > :01:28.Every plant is worth ?400. Today, Sian is with Cleveland Police at
:01:29. > :01:33.their tactical training centre in Stockton-on-Tees. Today I'm going to
:01:34. > :01:38.be finding out about how police learn about firearms and how they
:01:39. > :01:43.scale tall buildings like this. It is all exciting stuff. Every year
:01:44. > :01:47.police officers spend thousands of hours at this training centre. I'm
:01:48. > :01:53.going to follow a few of them as they're put through their paces.
:01:54. > :01:58.Now, to have a family pet go missing or stolen is difficult to deal with.
:01:59. > :02:05.But to know somebody has deliberately hurt them is more
:02:06. > :02:11.heart-breaking. Piper is a two-year-old Russian bluchlt she is
:02:12. > :02:19.the pet of this household. -- Russian blue. She is definitely a
:02:20. > :02:26.big part of the family. She gets on with my daughter like best friends.
:02:27. > :02:34.Piper is quite a character and even insists on being fed five times a
:02:35. > :02:42.day. She loves to sleep, loves to eat and loves sunbathing and
:02:43. > :02:46.bringing mice home. But many March, Piper disappeared. Stephanie
:02:47. > :02:54.searched the house. I started to panic. I didn't know what to do. And
:02:55. > :03:00.I just knew from then that basically she had gone missing. Desperate to
:03:01. > :03:05.find Piper the family scoured the whole neighbourhood. They called the
:03:06. > :03:11.local animal shelters and the RSPCA. Every day I was out for two weeks
:03:12. > :03:15.straight just going for walks, looking for her. Seeing if she got
:03:16. > :03:20.trapped anywhere and everything and there was no luck. No one had seen
:03:21. > :03:27.her. No one had heard from her. It was out of the blue and out of
:03:28. > :03:33.character. But no one had seen Piper. The family missed her
:03:34. > :03:38.terribly. And she really loved her and asked all the time for three
:03:39. > :03:51.weeks, she just kept asking for her all the time. It broke my heart. But
:03:52. > :03:56.on 24th April, customers using the bottle bank at ASDA several miles
:03:57. > :04:03.away heard a noise from inside the container. I went to investigate and
:04:04. > :04:09.when I got there I expected that the cat maybe had fallen into the bottle
:04:10. > :04:15.bank being curious. I got there and found that this cat had been put in
:04:16. > :04:21.with a carrier bag over its head. It was distressed, thrashing and trying
:04:22. > :04:27.to remove the carrier bag from its head. Diane summoned help and the
:04:28. > :04:33.local council sent somebody to open the container. When that happened,
:04:34. > :04:39.the bottles came out of the bottle bank and that scared the cat and I
:04:40. > :04:46.went to the back corner. When I talking, the cat heard me talking
:04:47. > :04:50.and got up and came towards me. When Piper was rested -- rescued the
:04:51. > :04:57.extent of the cruelty became apparent. The cat a bag tie around
:04:58. > :05:01.its neck. The two front paws were tied together with elastic bands and
:05:02. > :05:08.they were cutting into the paws. And the hind legs were tied together
:05:09. > :05:14.with string. Absolute disgust. I was so shocked and upset to see this
:05:15. > :05:20.cat. Nothing could have prepared me for the sight of the bag around its
:05:21. > :05:23.head. It is unbelievable that the cat survived. I don't think, there
:05:24. > :05:29.is no doubt that the person who put this cat in the bottle bank had the
:05:30. > :05:33.intention of having the cat killed. The cat dieing in that bottle bank.
:05:34. > :05:40.Why else would you do what you have done to it? It is unbelievable that
:05:41. > :05:46.somebody could do this. The local paper reported the rescue. And the
:05:47. > :05:50.family spotted the story online. I kind of didn't want it to be her,
:05:51. > :05:55.because of the horrible things that happened. I didn't want it to be
:05:56. > :06:00.her. I just thought, oh, no, but no, it was her. I'm over the moon.
:06:01. > :06:06.Although she is now much more nervous, Piper is settling back in
:06:07. > :06:11.with the family. The kids were over the moon to have her back. He is
:06:12. > :06:16.only eight months and she was like what is this again. Kendal, my
:06:17. > :06:21.two-year-old, she wanted to give hear kiss and cuddle. I can't
:06:22. > :06:30.believe somebody could be that evil to do that to a cat that is so
:06:31. > :06:36.gentle and loving. Joining me is Trevor Walker from the RSPCA. There
:06:37. > :06:42.was a happy ending, but what do you think happened? It could be a number
:06:43. > :06:45.of reasons. Cats are stolen and kept in other people's houses. We have
:06:46. > :06:53.had situations where cats have been put into pits with dogs and
:06:54. > :06:59.obviously a fight has ensued. Piper's paws were tied up weren't
:07:00. > :07:03.they? The front legs were tied together with elastic bands and the
:07:04. > :07:11.back leg with string. I do think it was the intention was to cause the
:07:12. > :07:16.maximum amount of harm. Do you have any leads. We have one report of a
:07:17. > :07:24.white male struggling with something in a bag around the area. They did
:07:25. > :07:29.jump into a car and drive off. If anyone saw this vehicle exiting the
:07:30. > :07:34.ASDA car park at great speed we would be interested to know more. Is
:07:35. > :07:39.it an isolated incident? Cats being put into a bottle bank is. But cats
:07:40. > :07:43.go missing all the time. Sometimes through their own will and sometimes
:07:44. > :07:49.they're stolen. What would your advice be? To microchip their
:07:50. > :07:55.animals and report any suspicious behaviour. Thank you. Piper a
:07:56. > :08:06.much-loved peppest pet and happy to be home now. Rav. And the wanted
:08:07. > :08:13.faces. Ross Nathan and David Atkins. He was convicted of possessing Class
:08:14. > :08:19.A drugs and money laundering, but didn't turn up for his trial. He has
:08:20. > :08:30.links to Hull and Surrey and has a scar on his forehead and one on his
:08:31. > :08:36.cheek. And this man calls himself Francesco Murano, but police believe
:08:37. > :08:43.this is a false identity. He was wanted for an assault. He has links
:08:44. > :08:48.to south-east London. Next up today here is Robert Cazan. The
:08:49. > :08:55.18-year-old was arrested and charged with burglary and failed to turn up
:08:56. > :09:12.in court. He is Romanian with a tattoo on his left arm saying
:09:13. > :09:23.Leonard. And this man, Saulus Ratautas. He wanted in connection
:09:24. > :09:37.with stolen cheques. He has links to London and Dagenham
:09:38. > :09:45.We are inside the tactical training centre now. This range is one of
:09:46. > :09:50.biggest in the UK and some of technology here makes it unique in
:09:51. > :09:54.Europe. I'm joined by sergeant Peter Duncan, the lead firearms officer,
:09:55. > :10:07.this is a training exercise that we are going to see today. Yes. With
:10:08. > :10:09.blanks. Yes training and blank ammunition and so in terms safety,
:10:10. > :10:15.no issues. For people at home it will look dramatic. Yes, as reap as
:10:16. > :10:19.we can make it. -- real as we can make it. The scenario is you have
:10:20. > :10:23.two armed response vehicles responding to an incident where a
:10:24. > :10:27.casualty has been identified further down the range. There is also a
:10:28. > :10:36.threat opt range. So the police officers are covering and moving
:10:37. > :10:40.forward down range away from us. They're going to reach the casualty
:10:41. > :11:06.and hopefully recover the casualty to a place where they can deal with
:11:07. > :11:24.the casualty in safety. That is a particular type of movement that
:11:25. > :11:45.they would use. Yes, that is operationally reflective, as real as
:11:46. > :12:01.we can make it. They would seek out cover to use while extracting the
:12:02. > :12:15.casualty, which is what they're doing. They're moving the casualty
:12:16. > :12:29.behind the barricade and two police officers with the casualty will
:12:30. > :12:42.start some medicine. So the firing has stopped and it is safe to go and
:12:43. > :12:51.see what is happening and move into the indoor range and get a close up
:12:52. > :12:57.look now at what is happening with that casualty. What the police
:12:58. > :13:02.officers have to do in terms of being trained. We have seen them
:13:03. > :13:05.with firearms and now they have turned into medics. Yes the officer,
:13:06. > :13:11.60% of armed portfolio, they're trained to a high level of medicine.
:13:12. > :13:15.They do a two-week course in medicine and they're carrying out a
:13:16. > :13:19.systematic approach in dealing with this casualty. They will first
:13:20. > :13:24.identify catastrophic bleeds and major sources of blood loss and once
:13:25. > :13:28.they have stopped that, they will move on to a systematic approach in
:13:29. > :13:31.stabilising the casualty before we move them. Now we can look at what
:13:32. > :13:40.is going on. Because this casualty would have been injured in the
:13:41. > :13:42.scenario by the offender and the situation is being made safe. Yes,
:13:43. > :13:50.they have identified a bleed on the left leg. They have removed the
:13:51. > :14:03.clothing and applied a capped torn Quaye. Once they have done that they
:14:04. > :14:08.will carry out a basic survey of the person. You can hear them trying to
:14:09. > :14:10.communicate with the casualty. That dummy they're working on is about
:14:11. > :14:11.?4,500 worth of kit. It breathes and can actually speak as well. You can
:14:12. > :14:17.see the officer, one is establishing an airway and checking for the
:14:18. > :14:21.breathing and establishing airways from the throat and nose. The other
:14:22. > :14:23.officers is taking pulse and breathing rate. But it is designed
:14:24. > :14:25.to put that person in a safe position before we move them.
:14:26. > :14:27.Because of the threat we are still in range, the police officers are
:14:28. > :14:29.still covering where that threat was or maybe. Thank you. Later we will
:14:30. > :14:35.be working our way through the kit that can help save the police
:14:36. > :14:37.officers' lives. Thank you. Still to come: This girl thought her
:14:38. > :14:42.neighbourhood was safe. Until a stranger attacked her. I think that
:14:43. > :14:51.is one of the worst things you could do to a girl, because it affects
:14:52. > :14:57.them forever. Paul and Coral Jones are backing a
:14:58. > :15:02.campaign to help people when their children are abducted.
:15:03. > :15:07.It was a great response, humbling to see. We appreciate everything that
:15:08. > :15:13.has happened. And if this should happen to anybody else, we wish that
:15:14. > :15:17.kind of response for them as well. We had people from everywhere coming
:15:18. > :15:20.out to help us. You have your community coming out in force and
:15:21. > :15:37.helping you to look for your daughter. It meant a lot to us. This
:15:38. > :15:40.new child alert means that you could be the one who sees that child being
:15:41. > :15:45.abducted and reported, and saves that child's life. Backing this
:15:46. > :15:50.child alert is the right thing to do, and I would like every body to
:15:51. > :15:59.sign up today, please, because it could be your child. It could be,
:16:00. > :16:05.and it is a nightmare. We can see that it clearly means so much to
:16:06. > :16:11.Paul and coral. This is based on another being used elsewhere? It was
:16:12. > :16:18.started in America, called Amber alert, and has been used there.
:16:19. > :16:23.We're taking it across Europe to try to get the best benefit from this
:16:24. > :16:26.modern scheme. So how does it work? We get people to sign up so that we
:16:27. > :16:35.can send them text messages. They can sign up on the website. This is
:16:36. > :16:41.the website here. It is very simple. We want people to go to the website
:16:42. > :16:45.to register. It is just a mobile telephone number, your home postcode
:16:46. > :16:48.and your work postcode so that we can target towards the area of
:16:49. > :16:56.people who are most likely to have seen something. And it is not just
:16:57. > :17:03.on there. There is also an app that is available. We have created an app
:17:04. > :17:07.which is free to download, and it is another way to receive notifications
:17:08. > :17:12.about an alert. There is a whole range of different media outletss,
:17:13. > :17:19.and we are still developing those ideas. This is what the app would
:17:20. > :17:26.look like on this tablet I have here. There are no alerts, but you
:17:27. > :17:33.have mocked one up for us. This is typical of what you would see. The
:17:34. > :17:36.photograph, some information about what the person looks like and what
:17:37. > :17:47.we are asking for, and the number to ring. Thank you very much for
:17:48. > :17:50.joining us. Please do take a look at the website, because the more people
:17:51. > :17:58.who sign up, the more effective the system will be.
:17:59. > :18:02.Very important advice there, Rav. Drugs farm is not what you would
:18:03. > :18:06.expect to find on a quiet residential street, but as police
:18:07. > :18:15.here in Cleveland no, it is more common than you would expect. We are
:18:16. > :18:17.going to do a cannabis farm warrant. Cleveland's community drug
:18:18. > :18:20.enforcement scheme have received a tip-off. Someone has called in
:18:21. > :18:26.saying there is a very pungent smell coming from their neighbour's house.
:18:27. > :18:32.It was all the usual signs, blinds closed all day everyday, no windows
:18:33. > :18:35.open,. Thermal images of the property leave the office is in no
:18:36. > :18:41.doubt that something out of the ordinary is going on. The search
:18:42. > :18:45.team is tactically trained to enter buildings like this one safely and
:18:46. > :18:50.efficiently. There is no telling what they might find inside.
:18:51. > :18:56.Police! Once they are through the door, it
:18:57. > :19:01.is obvious this is a cannabis farm. You can get anything from a couple
:19:02. > :19:04.of plants to a room that is being fully devoted to it, and as you can
:19:05. > :19:09.see from upstairs, two bedrooms have been totally utilises growing areas,
:19:10. > :19:14.and they have utilised the loft, so they will get as many plant into a
:19:15. > :19:20.premises as possible. The more plants they have, though more money
:19:21. > :19:23.they can make. A Vietnamese man is living in the
:19:24. > :19:29.property, and it appears that his job is to care for the plant will
:19:30. > :19:34.stop we are from the police. Do you understand English? They are in the
:19:35. > :19:38.country generally illegally, and they will have to work in a cannabis
:19:39. > :19:42.farm to pay off the cost of them being imported into the country.
:19:43. > :19:47.They work two or three cannabis farms, and when they have paid off
:19:48. > :19:51.the cost of their journey and importation, they will normally be
:19:52. > :19:54.allowed to go. And then obviously they will disappear into the country
:19:55. > :19:59.somewhere and pick up their own life. Becomes apparent that the farm
:20:00. > :20:04.has been up and running for quite some time, as the team find the
:20:05. > :20:08.remains of a previous crop. It takes three or four months for a crop to
:20:09. > :20:14.grow, so given the stage of the plants upstairs, which are about
:20:15. > :20:18.three months old, this farm has been here at least seven months. In that
:20:19. > :20:22.time, the plants need constant light and heat, which isn't cheap, so the
:20:23. > :20:28.brains of the operation have tampered with the electors of the
:20:29. > :20:31.supply. They have fitted these great tales in whether Orange piece of
:20:32. > :20:38.plastic is, survey have spliced into the main supply, bypassing the meter
:20:39. > :20:41.and the main fuse box. Thereby causing a potential fire hazard,
:20:42. > :20:45.because they are overloading the system with all the lights that they
:20:46. > :20:48.have upstairs, and what they will do is they will put in power
:20:49. > :20:53.distribution boards upstairs, with all the sockets on. But without
:20:54. > :20:59.that, they can't get the power that they need. And more importantly,
:21:00. > :21:04.they don't want to pay for it. Forensic officer arrives to gather
:21:05. > :21:23.evidence is Nigel works through the rest of the paraphernalia. They have
:21:24. > :21:29.organic iguana juice, plant food. Good old Miracle Grow. Organic
:21:30. > :21:36.iguana juice? I have never heard of that before. This farm has all the
:21:37. > :21:40.signs of a well-organised operation. The heating, ventilation and feed
:21:41. > :21:47.all help make sure there is a bumper crop. We submit sample plants to the
:21:48. > :21:51.laboratory, and they will gauge what potential yield that plant would
:21:52. > :21:56.have offered. Generally speaking, they will average 45 grams of
:21:57. > :21:59.cannabis per plant. That is a conservative figure that they have
:22:00. > :22:03.put on it. That will be for commercial sale, it would be for
:22:04. > :22:14.personal use. Cannabis in this area is valued at ?10 per gram, so every
:22:15. > :22:30.plant is worth ?400. We have 196 semiarid plants, 129 seedlings and
:22:31. > :22:35.40 root balls. So, 325 live plants. Good ones are Cleveland Police, bad
:22:36. > :22:42.one for the criminals. Good work, fellas! Now, we have four
:22:43. > :22:48.men we would like you to identify from CCTV footage.
:22:49. > :22:54.The lunchtime rush is in full swing at this high-street bank in Bromley
:22:55. > :22:58.in London. A man in a baseball cap enters the branch. He heads towards
:22:59. > :23:02.the counter where he writes a note sit in an envelope. Then he waits
:23:03. > :23:07.his turn in the queue and approaches a cashier. He hands her the note,
:23:08. > :23:13.which the police say reads: I have a gun. Empty the till before I start
:23:14. > :23:18.shooting people. But she is a cool customer. Watch as she calmly
:23:19. > :23:23.returns the note and sensing on his way. That wasn't the result he was
:23:24. > :23:28.expecting. Can you name him? Call us if you can.
:23:29. > :23:33.A mobile phone shop in Burnley, Lancashire. This pair of shoplifters
:23:34. > :23:40.has taken data roaming too literally. In seconds, they grabbed
:23:41. > :23:45.three display handsets worth ?1300, rip them free of their security
:23:46. > :23:47.chords and run out of the store. These guys obviously don't
:23:48. > :23:55.understand what pay-as-you-go means. Do you know the?
:23:56. > :23:59.Huddersfield in January this year, and this bright spark manages to get
:24:00. > :24:04.inside a fuel merchant's after hours. He searches an industrial
:24:05. > :24:09.unit by torchlight and takes two bags of kindling. He loads the bags
:24:10. > :24:14.into the back of a range Rover drives off. But he must still be
:24:15. > :24:19.feeling the chill, because he's back in under two hours. Inside, he
:24:20. > :24:28.steals firelighters, Offiah companion set, sawdust and kindling
:24:29. > :24:34.bucket, together worth about ?100. Again, he loads up his car and heads
:24:35. > :24:41.off. I reckon it is time we smoked this crook out. Any of those faces
:24:42. > :24:50.familiar to you? If so, give us a call. You can call or text, typing
:24:51. > :24:55.CW and leaving a space before your message. That space is important.
:24:56. > :24:57.Now, can you help identify the man who assaulted a woman in
:24:58. > :25:01.Middlesbrough as she was walking home alone? We have changed her name
:25:02. > :25:08.and use the voice of an actor to protect identity.
:25:09. > :25:13.When it first happened, I didn't really want to leave my house. If I
:25:14. > :25:18.need something from the shop, I'll get someone to go for me. When I do
:25:19. > :25:20.go somewhere, if everyone acts different towards me, than I do
:25:21. > :25:36.start to panic. In April this year, Ella was
:25:37. > :25:42.visiting a friend. She kept phoning me insane, do you want to come
:25:43. > :25:45.round? Come round. It was about 1130, and I said, OK, I'll come
:25:46. > :25:54.round, because I hadn't seen her that much. At 2:30am, she left the
:25:55. > :26:00.house near the centre of Middlesbrough, planning to pick up
:26:01. > :26:04.and take away and walk home. I don't feel like where I live is
:26:05. > :26:08.dangerous, and because the shop is only local to my house, it was no
:26:09. > :26:10.different to any other night to me. She collected her food and headed
:26:11. > :26:22.down Woodlands Road. You come straight down the road, and
:26:23. > :26:27.there is a brick wall at the end of someone's house. If it's dark, you
:26:28. > :26:33.can't see what's behind it until you come in line with it.
:26:34. > :26:38.There was someone behind the brick wall, and someone said to me, is
:26:39. > :26:43.there a chemist near here? I said, there is one behind you, but it's
:26:44. > :26:46.closed. Because I'm on the phone to my friend, I didn't think why he was
:26:47. > :26:56.asking me this at that time in the morning. The man began to follow
:26:57. > :27:00.Ella down the street. I turned round to look back at him, and he was
:27:01. > :27:04.right behind my shoulder. I said, what are you doing? And I said to my
:27:05. > :27:10.friend, phone the police, someone is following me. He pulled the front of
:27:11. > :27:15.my top down first. That was the first thing. I was moving back and
:27:16. > :27:20.he kept on coming towards me again. I felt that if I was somewhere more
:27:21. > :27:23.enclosed, I wouldn't have been able to move back from him, and him come
:27:24. > :27:29.forward and have that catching up with each other type of game in the
:27:30. > :27:34.street. After he attacked me, he decided to run off. And then I
:27:35. > :27:42.realised my top was down, my skirt wasn't level, my bag was on the
:27:43. > :27:45.floor. The attack around the way down Victoria Road. Moments later, a
:27:46. > :27:51.taxi appeared, and the driver offered to help the woman. He said
:27:52. > :27:56.to me, did that guy try to do something to you? I said, yes, I
:27:57. > :28:02.don't know what to do now. He said, you need to phone the police, and I
:28:03. > :28:10.will drive about to see if I can see anything. CCTV shows the attack in
:28:11. > :28:13.full. The Mail approached from behind and proceeded to sexually
:28:14. > :28:21.assault the victim. It left her upset. The man left on foot and ran
:28:22. > :28:29.away at Tory road and left the scene. Ella can only recall glimpses
:28:30. > :28:39.of what he looked and sounded like. I only got to see him for a second.
:28:40. > :28:45.He had short bristly hair. He kept his head tilted away from me, didn't
:28:46. > :28:47.want to look at me. When he spoke, he wasn't drunk, he didn't have a
:28:48. > :28:58.Lisp or anything wrong with his voice, it was just like he had
:28:59. > :29:02.difficulty to get a word out. With these type of offences, it is a
:29:03. > :29:06.continued pattern. If they are not caught, they will continue. They
:29:07. > :29:11.could progress in their offending, which is why it is so important to
:29:12. > :29:14.catch this person. I think that is the one of the worst things you
:29:15. > :29:21.could ever do to a girl, because then it just affects them for ever.
:29:22. > :29:26.Like now, I've got a panic alarm, so I generally do have that on me ready
:29:27. > :29:29.to use it. Even if they are the most normal person you have ever met in
:29:30. > :29:33.your life, and they have been lovely, I still look at them and
:29:34. > :29:43.have that thing like, yes, but you could also do this. Really is a
:29:44. > :29:48.terrible incident, and D I mark a low joins me now. There is new
:29:49. > :29:51.footage, what does that show? There is high footage showing the mail
:29:52. > :29:56.running away immediately after the offence. It shows him leaving the
:29:57. > :30:05.scene, moving through the Woodlands Road area. So it is a clear image.
:30:06. > :30:11.Can you give us a description? He is white, about five foot six, chubby.
:30:12. > :30:14.He seems to have mousey brown hair and a bald patch. The victim has
:30:15. > :30:18.described him as having some kind of difficulty talking.
:30:19. > :30:23.I understand you have tracked down the taxi driver as well. Yes, we
:30:24. > :30:29.have spoken to him and got some good information that we are following.
:30:30. > :30:31.So how can the public help? By studying the footage, thinking where
:30:32. > :30:37.they were the time is trying to identify the offender. What would
:30:38. > :30:41.your advice be to women walking home by themselves after a night out?
:30:42. > :30:46.Thankfully this kind of attack is very rare, but always be vigilant
:30:47. > :30:49.and aware of your surroundings, and consider carrying a personal attack
:30:50. > :30:54.alarm. There are numerous different types you can get, but it makes a
:30:55. > :30:58.loud noise that makes people aware that you are in some kind of
:30:59. > :31:08.difficulty, and possibly scares off any offenders. Good advice. Thank
:31:09. > :31:13.you, Mark. You might think choosing public transport would be safe. But
:31:14. > :31:21.west Midlands police are highlighting the risks for those
:31:22. > :31:28.travelling on buses and trains. Emma hole den joins me, tell me about
:31:29. > :31:32.Project Empower. It is a west Midlands initiative to see public
:31:33. > :31:37.protection officers working with British Transport Police to tackle
:31:38. > :31:43.unwanted sexual behaviour on the public transport network. Now you're
:31:44. > :31:48.going to tell me this is so massively underreported. Why is
:31:49. > :31:52.that? Research has shown there are a number of reasons. One is people
:31:53. > :31:56.don't think the incidents are serious enough to investigate. One
:31:57. > :32:00.of the messages we need to put across, if it doesn't feel right it
:32:01. > :32:06.probably isn't right and whether it is an offence or not it should be
:32:07. > :32:11.reported. One of the beauties of your unit is you will centralise a
:32:12. > :32:18.lot of areas? Yes, we are based in the centre of Birmingham and cover
:32:19. > :32:23.the whole area and link with British Transport Police and the transport
:32:24. > :32:28.service providers. That approach enables us to share information and
:32:29. > :32:38.gain bigger intelligence pictures. Then you can build up patterns? Yes
:32:39. > :32:41.and target specific offences. You have a specific offence you want to
:32:42. > :32:49.talk about. A person that you're keen to identify. What has happened?
:32:50. > :32:55.This male is responsible for four offences across the bus and rail
:32:56. > :32:59.network. Sexual and voyeurism offences. This is on a bus from
:33:00. > :33:04.Birmingham to Dudley and he assaulted a young female before
:33:05. > :33:08.taking photographs of her. This another incident, you believe it is
:33:09. > :33:14.the same person. What is happening here? This was from May this year.
:33:15. > :33:19.More recent incident. He has followed a female on to the bus and
:33:20. > :33:27.followed her upstairs, where there are plenty of empty seats, sat next
:33:28. > :33:31.to her and sexual Iy assaulted her. -- sexually assaulted her. The bus
:33:32. > :33:36.is empty, but he has gone for the one seat next to the girl and she
:33:37. > :33:42.would be pinned next to the window. It must have been scary? Yes, public
:33:43. > :33:45.transport is safe, but there are individuals who commit offences on
:33:46. > :33:55.the network and we need people to report us to. You do have some
:33:56. > :34:00.clues. And here is the description. A distinctive jacket. Yes it is
:34:01. > :34:07.described as a large poppy design. But he is said to have a tattoo on
:34:08. > :34:11.his knuckles, dots on one hand and letters on another. But the jacket
:34:12. > :34:19.is distinctive and somebody will recognise that. Thank you. Well
:34:20. > :34:28.let's get this guy nicked. If you suffer a similar offence, please do
:34:29. > :34:34.report it. Now, here at Cleveland they rely on dogs in their fight
:34:35. > :34:42.against crime. And sergeant Shelli Gordon is from the dog unit and you
:34:43. > :34:48.have brought Binki. She is excited. Yes, yes an 11 month old Dutch
:34:49. > :34:53.herder. She is one of our recruits. It is all a bit strange for her
:34:54. > :34:58.doing TV. But she is going to do a training exercise for us. Yes, she
:34:59. > :35:05.is going to go into a building to search. If there is suspects on a
:35:06. > :35:11.premises we would deploy the dog to search. Hopefully Binki will go in.
:35:12. > :35:16.I'm not the offender! Let's take her in the building. Off she goes. We
:35:17. > :35:24.have kept her too long. Are you in the building? Come out or I will
:35:25. > :35:31.send in the dog. There she goes. She has found him. Already. She is fast.
:35:32. > :35:38.Binki, good girl. She has got her ball. That is the reward. We use
:35:39. > :35:44.positive reinforcement for the dogs and make sure they're happy and know
:35:45. > :35:50.they have done a good job. Graham, what did she do. She came in and
:35:51. > :35:55.barked. That is what she is trained to do. We use the ball as a reward.
:35:56. > :36:01.That is what she did. Glad to see you're in one piece. Binki did very
:36:02. > :36:06.well. Now, we are going to see how some of her fully trained companions
:36:07. > :36:13.did on an operation to track down drugs in pubs and clubs. In
:36:14. > :36:19.Cleveland, the force has two new recruits. Roxy and Sam. They're very
:36:20. > :36:28.special dogs - qualified in one particular way of working. They're
:36:29. > :36:36.used in pubs, clubs public areas where they will search the, or sniff
:36:37. > :36:40.the air around people and the dog is trained to indicate the presence of
:36:41. > :36:47.illegal drugs. Getting the right dog for the right job is important. They
:36:48. > :36:54.need to be friendly and not be put off by people. But that is a slower
:36:55. > :37:01.speed. We don't want them as active as the drugs catching exercise. This
:37:02. > :37:05.exercise simulates a pub environment. The dog moves from
:37:06. > :37:11.person-to-person to find the person with the drugs. When she recognises
:37:12. > :37:15.the scent, she will stare at the subject and expect to be rewarpeded
:37:16. > :37:20.with her favourite toy. Because we have trained the dogs to wait until
:37:21. > :37:30.the ball is rewarded to her and she looks at the person and freezes.
:37:31. > :37:37.Tonight the dogs will be visiting a number of pubs in Middlesbrough. The
:37:38. > :37:41.team has received intelligence about licensed premises where they believe
:37:42. > :37:49.drugs are being used. We will have people in the pubs having a look
:37:50. > :37:54.around and they will give a shot and the officers and then the drugs will
:37:55. > :37:59.be hidden and the dogs can smell us and tell us where we need to look.
:38:00. > :38:03.Once the dog smells something unusual, it sits and stares. This
:38:04. > :38:07.indication gives the police the right to search that person. But
:38:08. > :38:14.sometimes the smell can be a chemical. It is not always an
:38:15. > :38:21.illegal substance. We have done three pubs and searched probably 14
:38:22. > :38:27.people. One recovery from the last pub which was some M cat and we will
:38:28. > :38:34.deal with him. In this pub it would appear the dog has indicated a lot
:38:35. > :38:40.of people in this pub. At the last pub of the night, it is the officers
:38:41. > :38:47.who get lucky. We searched three people and there was some cocaine
:38:48. > :38:52.recovered off two people. Have you got other stuff on you? This pub
:38:53. > :39:01.that we have got one recovery at least. But the dog is doing well and
:39:02. > :39:05.indicated on lots of people. We are having a great night. Everybody's
:39:06. > :39:13.happy, apart from those who have been caught with stuff on them. He
:39:14. > :39:19.was well behaved and worked well and didn't miss a lot. I can't ask for
:39:20. > :39:24.more. I'm pleased with the dog tonight and enabled us to go in and
:39:25. > :39:29.not target the people just having a drink. We are getting the results we
:39:30. > :39:36.wanted and getting the message out that we won't tolerate drug use.
:39:37. > :39:42.Earlier we saw the training that these farms officers have --
:39:43. > :39:48.firearms officers have to go through. And the kit must be tough.
:39:49. > :39:52.Duncan Charlesworth is back with me. As is Tina Smith, wearing all the
:39:53. > :39:59.kit! Talk us through what Tina is wearing and why. She is wearing the
:40:00. > :40:07.standard firearms equipment that all officers would deploy with.
:40:08. > :40:12.Ballistic helmet. Eye protection. Body armour which offers protection
:40:13. > :40:19.against some forms of ammunition and knives. This is the sort of plates
:40:20. > :40:27.that Tina has got on. She is not wearing one of the upgrade plates.
:40:28. > :40:32.But we can upgrade the capability and put plate front and back.
:40:33. > :40:39.They're about two and a half kilos each. Moving down the equipment you
:40:40. > :40:44.have got the Taser that Tina is carrying. That is one of the less
:40:45. > :40:50.lethal options available and the object on her belt. She has a
:40:51. > :41:02.primary weapon, the long weapon and also a side arm. She is wearing
:41:03. > :41:08.fliem proof overalls, gloves and boots. -- flame proof. And you could
:41:09. > :41:14.carry this, which is very heavy and will almost break your knuckles.
:41:15. > :41:19.What is it like wearing this kit and you have been an instructor here. It
:41:20. > :41:24.is heavy, but you get used to it. We train them hard and they use all the
:41:25. > :41:30.kit. So you do get used to carrying it. What are the oempgss you have
:41:31. > :41:38.been -- operations you have been out on? On various firearms operations
:41:39. > :41:43.involving knives, swords, guns and other weapons. The force wants more
:41:44. > :41:52.women to be in your role. Something you would encourage? Yes we should
:41:53. > :41:58.encourage any female to come down. For the police officers firearms is
:41:59. > :42:06.voluntary. Thank you to both and to all of you for allowing us into this
:42:07. > :42:11.exercise. I think you should have a go. You may remember yesterday we
:42:12. > :42:16.featured the theft of the Olympic gold medal from Roman Martin. Her
:42:17. > :42:20.medal and other objects were stolen from a museum. Police say they're
:42:21. > :42:28.following up good leads on that case as a result of your information. And
:42:29. > :42:33.some leads on one of the face we showed, Brett Anthony Charlton
:42:34. > :42:40.wanted in connection with a robbery. Sian, where will you be tomorrow? We
:42:41. > :42:44.will be in Newcastle upon Tyne where Northumbria police are using
:42:45. > :42:48.technology to track down people stealing mobile phones. That is
:42:49. > :42:52.something we haven't seen before. And the weekend is looming and we
:42:53. > :42:56.will be out with the police as they try too make the streets safe for
:42:57. > :43:02.people having fun in the pubs and clubs. See you tomorrow. Thank you.
:43:03. > :43:09.Now if you would like to watch any of the CCTV featured again, just
:43:10. > :43:14.head to our web-site and here is another look at our wanted faces.
:43:15. > :43:55.Call us if you know where nay are. See you tomorrow and take care.
:43:56. > :43:58.Make the most of your weekend, wherever you are.
:43:59. > :44:05.Use the BBC Weather App to stay one step ahead of the weather.
:44:06. > :44:06.Hey, Glastonbury. How you doing?
