:00:25. > :00:30.never forget. I did not know what number to call. And taking heroin

:00:31. > :00:36.off the streets. The officers are looking for drugs and evidence of

:00:37. > :00:53.conspiracy to supply. You are watching Crimewatch Roadshow.

:00:54. > :01:01.Hello and welcome. It might be our last day of the series, but our work

:01:02. > :01:04.is not quite finished. Stay with us and help get criminals off the

:01:05. > :01:09.streets. Also coming up this morning, a hard-working shopkeeper

:01:10. > :01:15.finds herself in the line of fire. Had it not been an air weapon and it

:01:16. > :01:22.was a real gun, she would have been killed by that man. A couple who

:01:23. > :01:27.returned to the UK to escape recession hit Spain find themselves

:01:28. > :01:31.homeless. I cannot believe someone takes something so big. And Sian is

:01:32. > :01:37.with Surrey Police spending the final morning of the series in the

:01:38. > :01:42.village of Merstham. With the school holidays upon us,

:01:43. > :01:46.many of us will be heading off on our travels. Security can be an

:01:47. > :01:50.issue. We will have plenty of advice to keep you crime free.

:01:51. > :01:58.First, we need to find a robber who took advantage of a man's good

:01:59. > :02:04.nature. He was trying to be a nice man helping these people out. Did

:02:05. > :02:12.not know what I should do. I guess they did not think he would fight

:02:13. > :02:19.back. Jonathan had recently arrived in London from South Africa to start

:02:20. > :02:25.a new job. I was lucky enough that my company offered me a transfer to

:02:26. > :02:30.spend a few years here, just to see what life was like in a different

:02:31. > :02:37.city. Jonathan lapped at the chance and whilst he was getting settled he

:02:38. > :02:43.was staying with friends in Epsom. On the 19th of December last year,

:02:44. > :02:49.Jonathan got off a train at Epsom Station at APM and began the short

:02:50. > :02:57.walk back to his friend's house. -- at 8pm. I had done the route twice a

:02:58. > :03:06.day for about two months. I felt the route was safe. I always listen to

:03:07. > :03:18.music. Pictured here on CCTV, Jonathan is seen walking towards

:03:19. > :03:23.Lane. He did not know he was being followed by two men. One of the men

:03:24. > :03:29.asked him for directions. I was a bit startled. But there was nothing

:03:30. > :03:34.untoward about him and I did not have any suspicions when he started

:03:35. > :03:41.speaking to me. I said to him I was new to the area. Appointed in the

:03:42. > :03:46.general vicinity I thought Epsom Downs was in. Despite his lack of

:03:47. > :03:53.local knowledge, the man persisted. I felt was getting a bit much. I

:03:54. > :03:56.thought the best option was to help him with directions and then move

:03:57. > :04:02.on. At that point, I got out my phone and said I could look for

:04:03. > :04:10.directions for him. Whilst he was looking at his phone, a second man

:04:11. > :04:15.appeared behind him. He hit me, it was totally unexpected. I was dazed

:04:16. > :04:20.and confused. One I came to, I was on my hands and knees and they were

:04:21. > :04:26.trying to get my bag off my back. By adrenaline was surging. I was

:04:27. > :04:32.thinking, put up as much of a fight as possible, make as much noise, try

:04:33. > :04:37.to make it as difficult as possible for them. Jonathan's phone and

:04:38. > :04:44.headphones landed on the floor. I stood up. I was making it a bit too

:04:45. > :04:49.difficult for them. Luckily, Jonathan managed to grab his phone.

:04:50. > :04:56.The attackers snatched the headphones and ran off towards the

:04:57. > :05:01.station. I knew I had to get hold of the emergency services but I did not

:05:02. > :05:09.know what the number was to call. I had to phone my friends and they

:05:10. > :05:13.gave me the right number. I was just marked.

:05:14. > :05:20.I was quite taken aback by being attacked in this way. Considering I

:05:21. > :05:28.am coming from South Africa which has quite a bad reputation for crime

:05:29. > :05:31.and violence. The injuries he received were cuts and bruises to

:05:32. > :05:40.the face. A nasty punch to the cheek. A bloody nose. Cuts and

:05:41. > :05:42.scratches to his hands. The problem is when people are wearing

:05:43. > :05:49.headphones is that it gives a signal that you might be valuable to them.

:05:50. > :05:56.What upsets me is that they were willing to really hurt me and cause

:05:57. > :06:00.a lot of pain just for a set of earphones that are not worth that

:06:01. > :06:06.much. Jonathan is such a nice fellow. He was trying to be nice.

:06:07. > :06:09.This was a ruse by them to make him stop to initiate the attack. They

:06:10. > :06:16.were preying on my good nature of trying to help someone out. This

:06:17. > :06:22.really is a nasty attack. Jonathan was just trying to give directions.

:06:23. > :06:26.DC Colin Snell is with me. What do you know about the attackers?

:06:27. > :06:35.Jonathan gave us a good description of the main attacker. We produced an

:06:36. > :06:51.e-fit. A black man, mid-22 Mac to early 30s, short, 5ft numeric tutor

:06:52. > :06:57.5ft 6. -- 5ft 2 up to 5ft 6. The offenders were picked up on the

:06:58. > :07:01.town's CCTV. They work monitored because they were acting

:07:02. > :07:06.suspiciously. They have been captured on CCTV. It shows their

:07:07. > :07:10.clothing and the second offender's distinctive jacket. They were

:07:11. > :07:13.behaving oddly. The people monitoring the cameras picked that

:07:14. > :07:19.up. That is correct. They were recorded. You want to catch these

:07:20. > :07:27.people. You are afraid they will strike again. Jonathan is a lovely

:07:28. > :07:32.fellow and he was acting as a good Samaritan. We need to get details of

:07:33. > :07:36.who they are so we can arrest them and deal with the investigation. If

:07:37. > :07:40.you can help, please do get in touch.

:07:41. > :07:45.Time to take a look at a bunch of crooks who committed their crimes on

:07:46. > :07:50.camera. Will you recognise anyone? This crime is no joke. Although it

:07:51. > :07:53.did happen on the 1st of April of last year. A pub in Manchester is

:07:54. > :08:01.serving bank holiday punters. A man with a backpack goes upstairs. He

:08:02. > :08:05.enters a code on a keypad to get into the staff area. He heads to the

:08:06. > :08:18.office where cash is stored in the say. He is stored in the say. Him in

:08:19. > :08:24.the act. -- in the safe. The manager tries to grab a screwdriver. He

:08:25. > :08:28.escapes empty-handed. A cyclist cruises up and down a

:08:29. > :08:35.leafy street in the London borough of Southwark. Here comes his pal. He

:08:36. > :08:38.has spotted an opportunity to do a quick food shop through a school

:08:39. > :08:44.door that has been left open. The rider hangs around outside while his

:08:45. > :08:52.mate in the baseball cap makes three trips to steal armfuls of food and

:08:53. > :09:01.drink worth ?850. Who is this greedy fellow and his cyclist charm? --

:09:02. > :09:05.charm. Check out the couple in the dark glasses walking into this

:09:06. > :09:12.jewellers. They saunter to the back of the shop where they spot a safe

:09:13. > :09:15.that happens to be open. Police believe the woman in the white shirt

:09:16. > :09:21.is shielding the man as he reaches into the safe and removes

:09:22. > :09:25.valuables. An unsuspecting staff member approaches them and after a

:09:26. > :09:28.short conversation he walks off. Officers think the man takes more

:09:29. > :09:34.items from the safe before putting them into the woman's black bag. She

:09:35. > :09:39.makes her excuses and walks coolly out of the store with valuables

:09:40. > :09:44.worth more than 20 grand. The man follows her moments later. Recognise

:09:45. > :09:58.these two? Be a treasure and give us a ring. If you can name any of that

:09:59. > :10:01.lot, call us or send a text. Next, police in Surrey have been on a

:10:02. > :10:07.mission to target criminals involved in the drug trade.

:10:08. > :10:20.Police! It is an early start at Surrey's police HQ. More than 120

:10:21. > :10:27.officers are preparing for one of the force's a guest operations to

:10:28. > :10:32.tackle a web of drug-related crime. -- biggest operations. We are going

:10:33. > :10:39.to take bad people of the street in a professional way. The object is to

:10:40. > :10:45.perform nine warrants at various premises across Surrey and also into

:10:46. > :10:49.Hampshire. One address in London. Operation Leek is targeting the drug

:10:50. > :10:54.dealers and those who commit crimes like burglary and robbery to fund

:10:55. > :10:57.their drug habits. The officers will look for drugs and evidence of

:10:58. > :11:04.conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and Class B drugs. There will be

:11:05. > :11:09.rapid entry at a number of properties. We need to get in

:11:10. > :11:14.quickly to secure the evidence. 6am and these criminals have just had a

:11:15. > :11:18.rude awakening. Police are acting on a tip-off that these brothers have

:11:19. > :11:23.been selling heroin. They are not the only ones getting an early

:11:24. > :11:28.morning call. Elsewhere, other officers are making simultaneous

:11:29. > :11:42.raids. This woman has been arrested on suspicion of supplying Class A

:11:43. > :11:45.drugs. Hello. The raids are done and dusted. Police go from door to door

:11:46. > :11:53.explaining what has been happening. We are the local guys. We will be

:11:54. > :11:59.paying attention... It is an opportunity to reassure the local

:12:00. > :12:03.community. Officers note the impact drugs related crime can have on

:12:04. > :12:10.their lies. Why should anyone have to tolerate crime? Some of the

:12:11. > :12:15.effects can be noise complaints -- the impact on their lives. The

:12:16. > :12:20.impact on the community is heartbreaking at times. We will do

:12:21. > :12:25.something about it. Two weeks later, it is time for the second phase of

:12:26. > :12:31.Operation Leek. They have already raided those suspected of dealing

:12:32. > :12:39.drugs. Now it is the turn of those who have committed burglary or

:12:40. > :12:47.handle stolen goods. The subject of the warrant is in custody. We will

:12:48. > :12:52.be back to the other houses again. It is all the time, keeping the

:12:53. > :12:59.momentum up. Hitting them all the time. Across the whole operation,

:13:00. > :13:06.Surrey Police made a total of 41 arrests. During a search of the

:13:07. > :13:11.brothers' property, police recovered 28 grams of heroin with a street

:13:12. > :13:15.value of around ?800. One brother was sentenced to three years and

:13:16. > :13:19.four months for seven counts of supplying heroin. His younger

:13:20. > :13:26.brother was handed a six-year sentence, also for the supply of

:13:27. > :13:32.heroin. The two brothers who were led away were among six people

:13:33. > :13:36.jailed for a total of 23 years as a result of this operation. Seven

:13:37. > :13:39.others were given non-custodial sentences. That is talk to

:13:40. > :13:44.Superintendent Duncan Greenhalgh about this. Quite a result. We are

:13:45. > :13:53.really happy. Over 40 people arrested. That is active drug

:13:54. > :13:57.dealers, thieves, taken off the streets. The intelligence came from

:13:58. > :14:04.the community, the people affected by the crimes. Also people who are

:14:05. > :14:10.stealing to fund their habits. Let us take a look at this. An array of

:14:11. > :14:14.stuff you have brought along. This is a fraction. At headquarters, we

:14:15. > :14:21.have more. There is everything you can think of. Pedal cycles, even two

:14:22. > :14:29.violins. Power Tools. Electrical items. Weapons over year. This is

:14:30. > :14:35.showing us that people will steal to fund a drugs habit -- weapons over

:14:36. > :14:40.here. If we go up close to some of these items, some taken from

:14:41. > :14:45.workshops or garden sheds, those are menacing looking items, weapons. Let

:14:46. > :14:51.us take a look here. Right in front of us are all of these laptops and

:14:52. > :14:57.gadgets. Just a fraction. This is really attractive stuff to thieves.

:14:58. > :14:59.Portable high-value stuff. We have got a shipping container at our

:15:00. > :15:14.headquarters which is crammed with this kind of stuff. Sat nows. What

:15:15. > :15:19.happens to it all now? We will try and reunite all of the property with

:15:20. > :15:23.its owners. If we cannot do that, sadly some of the stuff, we don't

:15:24. > :15:28.know where it has come from, but we know it is stolen. We will auction

:15:29. > :15:38.it and that money we reinvest in other operations like this. Good

:15:39. > :15:44.luck. The incredibly rare Burmese Bantam hens at the centre of a crime

:15:45. > :15:50.wave. The jewel thief who puts itself in

:15:51. > :15:54.the frame with a Photofit. And if you are feeling sorry for

:15:55. > :16:02.Andy Murray at Wimbledon, spare a thought for these guys who have lost

:16:03. > :16:04.their clubhouse is because of an arsonist.

:16:05. > :16:09.Police in Camden want your help identifying a man in connection with

:16:10. > :16:12.a theft from a blind woman. In December last year, the woman was

:16:13. > :16:17.befriended by a man who offered to carry his shopping home. Returned to

:16:18. > :16:21.her flat the next day and her handbag containing more than 100

:16:22. > :16:25.pounds was stolen. Reese would like to speak to this man seen on a bus

:16:26. > :16:34.in the Camden Road area. Do you recognise him? -- police. The number

:16:35. > :16:40.is on the screen. We saw those stolen goods seized as

:16:41. > :16:42.a result of Operation Leek. The challenge is sometimes to reunite

:16:43. > :16:45.these goods with their rightful owners. Superintendent Chris Raymer

:16:46. > :16:50.can tell us more, owners. Superintendent Chris Raymer

:16:51. > :16:53.what should we do if we want to get our stuff back if it does get

:16:54. > :17:01.stolen? We recommend a website called

:17:02. > :17:06.immobilise. It is a modem -- it is a website free to use and it is safe

:17:07. > :17:10.and secure and they can list their property, recording serial numbers,

:17:11. > :17:15.except. If that property stolen, they can flag that is stolen goods

:17:16. > :17:21.and when we conduct chat on the street or if we recover property, we

:17:22. > :17:25.can identify it is stolen -- conduct checks.

:17:26. > :17:32.What if somebody is trying to sell the stuff? Second-hand shops now use

:17:33. > :17:35.this website and they will check the register and identify if something

:17:36. > :17:39.is stolen and we can get the property back to the owners. And you

:17:40. > :17:49.have had a recent success. There was a burglary in June in Walton on

:17:50. > :17:56.Thames between 9:30am and 11am and by 1230, somebody. By police with a

:17:57. > :18:02.suitcase full of stolen goods. -- was stopped by police. It flagged up

:18:03. > :18:07.as being linked to this individual in custody and he has been charged

:18:08. > :18:13.and prosecuted. There are a number of items here and

:18:14. > :18:18.you need to reunite these with their rightful owners, tell us the story.

:18:19. > :18:21.These are items recovered in relation to another burglary. The

:18:22. > :18:27.individual has been prosecuted for that burglary but when he was

:18:28. > :18:32.arrested and the house was searched, these items were found in his vacuum

:18:33. > :18:36.cleaner. We have not identified who they belong to and we are hopeful

:18:37. > :18:42.when people see these, they might ring a bell and they will let us

:18:43. > :18:45.know who they might belong to. There are some pretty distinctive

:18:46. > :18:51.pieces. You know what to do if you do think they do belong to you. You

:18:52. > :18:57.can also go on to the police website.

:18:58. > :18:59.Next up, the thieves that took everything including the kitchen

:19:00. > :19:06.sink. For decades, Barry and his wife

:19:07. > :19:10.Henrietta lived the Spanish dream. Life in the sun and a thriving

:19:11. > :19:13.property development business. About 35 years ago, we wanted

:19:14. > :19:20.somewhere we could holiday in the winter. When we went, we decided we

:19:21. > :19:21.liked it so much we decided to stay there and eventually we set up a

:19:22. > :19:26.business. But it came to an end when Spain's

:19:27. > :19:32.property market crashed. The recession really hit and when it

:19:33. > :19:40.hit, it hit bad. The market just froze. There was just no buyers, no

:19:41. > :19:43.development work, nothing. So when the couple were offered the

:19:44. > :19:48.opportunity to come back to Britain to work, they jumped at the chance.

:19:49. > :19:52.Otherwise we would have had no income whatsoever. It was not a step

:19:53. > :19:56.backwards, we were positive because we knew we were guaranteed 12 months

:19:57. > :20:02.of work. The project was a barn conversion in

:20:03. > :20:06.Surrey. The couple still had their home in Spain so while they were in

:20:07. > :20:11.the UK, they bought a caravan to live on site.

:20:12. > :20:17.It was a home for EU, it was like a small apartment and it had

:20:18. > :20:23.everything -- a home for a year. These modern caravans have luxuries

:20:24. > :20:27.so it was not as if we were camping. It is a luxury caravan.

:20:28. > :20:32.Six weeks ago, the couple decided to go back to Spain, leaving the

:20:33. > :20:48.caravan locked up on a friend's driveway. They thought it was safe.

:20:49. > :20:58.But they were wrong. We had a phone call from the owners of the house,

:20:59. > :21:02.saying they were very, very shocked and surprised and disturbed that our

:21:03. > :21:08.caravan had been taken from their driveway.

:21:09. > :21:12.I said straightaway, you are joking! I could not believe it. I still

:21:13. > :21:15.cannot believe that somebody would come on private property and take

:21:16. > :21:20.something so big. Police say whoever stole the caravan

:21:21. > :21:27.knew exactly what they were doing. The caravan was secure, secured by a

:21:28. > :21:32.wheel clamp, so they came prepared. They are expert at towing caravans.

:21:33. > :21:37.After the bad news about their ?10,000 caravan being stolen, the

:21:38. > :21:39.couple began to realise just how many of their belongings had been

:21:40. > :21:45.inside. The biggest loss we have got is our

:21:46. > :21:52.clothing, documentation, tax papers, stuff like that. They are in

:21:53. > :21:58.a sense retrievable. Initially, you do not miss everything but as the

:21:59. > :22:03.days go on, you think, I need that. It was in the caravan. Everything

:22:04. > :22:08.was in the caravan, obviously. Had it been the empty caravan, that

:22:09. > :22:11.would be one thing. To lose the whole lot and everything we had been

:22:12. > :22:17.using over 12 months was quite a shock.

:22:18. > :22:23.Very upsetting for that couple is virtually everything was inside that

:22:24. > :22:28.caravan. Paul, to many people, one caravan looks very much like another

:22:29. > :22:33.but this was distinctive. It was a Wyoming 2007 series five

:22:34. > :22:38.caravan with notable adaptions. The rear window on the caravan were

:22:39. > :22:45.frosted instead of clear. And it had a registration plate. On

:22:46. > :22:49.the day of the theft, it was... It is most likely discarded now but

:22:50. > :22:52.it was on the caravan on the day of the theft.

:22:53. > :22:57.Thank you. Caravans are very expensive and that makes them a

:22:58. > :23:02.target for thieves so let's find out how to protect them with Sean

:23:03. > :23:06.Bailey. Tell us about the registration scheme.

:23:07. > :23:12.The central registration and identification scheme, it is

:23:13. > :23:20.registered against yourself as the owner. You have a registration

:23:21. > :23:23.document you can carry with you. What else can you do to protect your

:23:24. > :23:28.caravan? The best thing before you buy the

:23:29. > :23:35.caravan is to carry out a Cris check for history. After buying it, in

:23:36. > :23:39.Short, check for security, and the Cris kit which comes with items like

:23:40. > :23:42.microdots. Tell is about microdots, how do they

:23:43. > :23:51.work? You get an applicator like this full

:23:52. > :23:56.of microdots, 500 in a pack with the VIN number of your caravan. Painted

:23:57. > :24:00.over any part of the caravan not easily removed and they show up with

:24:01. > :24:05.ultraviolet light by police and they can look under a microscope to show

:24:06. > :24:08.the real VIN number. What about that gadget, how does

:24:09. > :24:14.that work? This scanner, every caravan since

:24:15. > :24:21.1992 in the UK has been fitted with a chip. And it has information.

:24:22. > :24:27.Police scan the caravan and they can see the real VIN number regarded of

:24:28. > :24:31.what the thieves have attempted to do.

:24:32. > :24:35.Plenty of advice and I hope it is useful.

:24:36. > :24:40.Now it's time to have a look at today's Wanted Faces.

:24:41. > :24:43.We start with this man, Ashley John Entwistle. The 30 year old was

:24:44. > :24:46.jailed for an attack on a taxi driver in 2002 and released early on

:24:47. > :24:49.licence. He has failed to stick to the conditions of his release and is

:24:50. > :24:52.now wanted back in jail. Entwistle has links across Bolton

:24:53. > :24:55.and is known to be violent, so if you do see him, just call 999.

:24:56. > :24:58.Next, do you recognise this man, Timothy Vincent O'Leary?

:24:59. > :25:01.The 59 year old was serving a life sentence, but failed to return to

:25:02. > :25:04.Ford Open prison after a day release, and is now on the run.

:25:05. > :25:06.O'Leary has links to the West Midlands, Warwickshire,

:25:07. > :25:07.Leicestershire, London and Cork in Ireland.

:25:08. > :25:12.He also uses the name Timothy McCarthy.

:25:13. > :25:16.Next up, Dion Peter Lotriet. The 46 year old was charged with

:25:17. > :25:19.fraud by false representation, but didn't turn up in court. It followed

:25:20. > :25:21.an incident in Salisbury where a 77-year-old woman was promised

:25:22. > :25:26.building work would be completed, and driven to a bank to withdraw

:25:27. > :25:30.money to pay for it. She was then abandoned and the work never carried

:25:31. > :25:35.out. Lotriet was born in Zimbabwe and now has links to Blackpool and

:25:36. > :25:39.London. He has numerous tattoos, including a heart outline on his

:25:40. > :25:45.left wrist and a Celtic band on his left arm.

:25:46. > :25:49.And finally for this week, and the series, is this man, 39-year-old

:25:50. > :25:52.Rafal Filonowicz. He was charged with possession with

:25:53. > :25:54.intent to supply amphetamines and was due to appear in court, but he

:25:55. > :25:58.never turned up. He has links across London, but

:25:59. > :26:03.officers want your help in finding out where he is now.

:26:04. > :26:07.If you recognise any of these men, make sure you pick up the phone. You

:26:08. > :26:10.can call us on 08000 468999. Calls are free from most landlines. Some

:26:11. > :26:15.network and mobile operators will charge for these calls. Or you can

:26:16. > :26:19.text us on 63399. Text CW, space, and then your message. And that

:26:20. > :26:22.space is really important. If you don't put it in, your message won't

:26:23. > :26:24.get through to us. Texts will be charged at your standard message

:26:25. > :26:26.rate. Of course, you can e-mail us too.

:26:27. > :26:37.The address CWR@bbc.co.uk. The address CWR@bbc.co.uk.

:26:38. > :26:42.Criminals here in Surrey have been targeting people who put their faith

:26:43. > :26:46.in the police. Nasty incidents here. Detective Inspector Richard

:26:47. > :26:50.Haycock can tell us what has been happening.

:26:51. > :26:55.People are targeting elderly and vulnerable residents, going to doors

:26:56. > :26:59.pretending to be police officers, producing fake warrant and ID cards,

:27:00. > :27:05.telling a story to get into people's houses. Distracting the

:27:06. > :27:08.resident inside the house while stealing their property.

:27:09. > :27:14.How many cases have you had? Six cases since the beginning of May

:27:15. > :27:17.so it is a serious concern. Some cases particularly upsetting

:27:18. > :27:21.because they have been targeting honourable people, there is one case

:27:22. > :27:24.in particular. The victim was partially sighted

:27:25. > :27:30.which made her more vulnerable than most, so a despicable crime. They

:27:31. > :27:34.got into her house and stole her money and escaped.

:27:35. > :27:38.They dressing up as police officers? We believe they are wearing

:27:39. > :27:42.plainclothes but reducing fake cards to convince people they are police

:27:43. > :27:46.officers. People are trusting and let them in.

:27:47. > :27:50.What is the advice to people, what should they ask for?

:27:51. > :27:53.If you have any doubt, do not let somebody into your house, do call

:27:54. > :28:00.your local police on the national number, 101. It worried card will

:28:01. > :28:06.clearly say police, it will have a photograph, and the force they are

:28:07. > :28:12.from -- a warrant card. In Surrey, we have the crest. We also carry a

:28:13. > :28:15.Braille strip for people who are partially sighted or blind to assist

:28:16. > :28:18.them. That is really good advice, thank

:28:19. > :28:25.you. The next appeal is for a robber who

:28:26. > :28:32.left a shopkeeper terrified. I told him, don't do anything, I

:28:33. > :28:37.will give the money. Suddenly, he shot me.

:28:38. > :28:46.The level of violence used was unprecedented.

:28:47. > :28:50.For the last seven years, Jenny has been running a shop with her

:28:51. > :28:54.husband, open from morning till night, the hours are long but it is

:28:55. > :29:01.a job she enjoys. This kind of right to speak to

:29:02. > :29:05.people, it is relaxing as well. Jenny was getting to the end of her

:29:06. > :29:06.shift on a Thursday night in February.

:29:07. > :29:12.Jenny was getting to the end of her shift on She made the most of a

:29:13. > :29:16.quiet moment by catching on -- catching up with her sister on the

:29:17. > :29:22.phone. But somebody was watching and waiting outside the shop.

:29:23. > :29:29.A man walked into the shop and went up to the till. He took a gun out of

:29:30. > :29:34.his top pocket and he pointed it straight at Jenny.

:29:35. > :29:37.Open the tell, but the money in the bag!

:29:38. > :29:41.He just shouted things. But the money in the bag.

:29:42. > :29:46.Police now know the robber was carrying a pellet gun. But at the

:29:47. > :29:53.time, Jenny thought it was real. Shaking, panic. I cannot even speak

:29:54. > :29:59.anything. So my mind is not working. I don't know what to do.

:30:00. > :30:07.He kept repeating it, give me the money from the till, money now! It

:30:08. > :30:10.excavated extremely quickly. -- escalated. Then the armed robber

:30:11. > :30:17.does the unthinkable. Suddenly, he shot me. Had it not been an air

:30:18. > :30:20.weapon and it was a real gun, she would have died, she would have been

:30:21. > :30:26.killed by that man. The pellets hit her in the neck.

:30:27. > :30:28.Terrified, she tries to protect herself by crouching behind the

:30:29. > :30:32.counter. I told him, I want to do anything, I

:30:33. > :30:36.won't call anybody, I will give the money.

:30:37. > :30:42.The robber becomes increasingly impatient and fires the gun once

:30:43. > :30:51.again. When I took it, I knew it was bleeding. Frustrated, he lashes out.

:30:52. > :30:57.He just pushed the screen so that is why the power is off. That is why I

:30:58. > :31:02.could not open the till to give the money. Undeterred, the robber makes

:31:03. > :31:09.a grab for the till drawer, ripping the cable free before he makes his

:31:10. > :31:14.getaway. Whilst this terrifying ordeal was taking place, Jenny's

:31:15. > :31:27.spend was upstairs looking after their two young children, oblivious.

:31:28. > :31:30.happening. I just found out something was wrong, she was

:31:31. > :31:35.bleeding. I called the ambulance. Then my wife and daughter were

:31:36. > :31:42.crying. Waited for the police to come. This was a very serious

:31:43. > :31:48.incident. The level of violence used was unprecedented. We are desperate

:31:49. > :31:52.to catch this man. He is very dangerous and poses a great risk to

:31:53. > :31:58.the public. Whilst she was once happy to spend time in the shop

:31:59. > :32:02.socialising with customers, Jenny now feels very differently about

:32:03. > :32:13.life. I cannot concentrate on everything. I cannot even look after

:32:14. > :32:20.the kids. I cannot even go out after it gets dark. I am really scared.

:32:21. > :32:29.This was a shocking attack. Laura, this BB gun, a type of air pellet

:32:30. > :32:34.gun. The pellets are still in the victim's neck and she will require

:32:35. > :32:42.further treatment for that. What do you know about this guy? It is a

:32:43. > :32:47.black BB gun. The attacker, on first look, the clothing looks quite

:32:48. > :32:51.generic but it is distinctive. The trousers are read that Navy in

:32:52. > :33:00.colour or black, combat style with pockets to the legs, black boots and

:33:01. > :33:06.green jacket with a herd -- the trousers are either Navy or black.

:33:07. > :33:12.It could be a uniform. If you know the uniform, please let us know.

:33:13. > :33:17.Quite a bit of detail. He did not get away with the money in the end?

:33:18. > :33:27.We found detailed discarded near the shop. He had not opened it. There is

:33:28. > :33:31.a reward. Yes. Someone knows who this person is and there is a ?3000

:33:32. > :33:37.reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of this

:33:38. > :33:43.individual. They must come forward. Come forward if you know who he is.

:33:44. > :33:49.Can you help to find the ruthless thieves who threatened the very

:33:50. > :33:53.survival of some of the world's rarest birds, just like these?

:33:54. > :34:00.Philippe Wilson works for The Cobthorn Trust. And John Hayward

:34:01. > :34:07.from the national register for exotic pets. Tell us what happened.

:34:08. > :34:11.We had three hens stolen at the end of April. They were young and

:34:12. > :34:17.healthy. All we have got left now are older birds. The three hens were

:34:18. > :34:22.sat on eggs at the time they were stolen. The eggs spoiled and the

:34:23. > :34:28.breeding efforts were over. How where are they? Category one. There

:34:29. > :34:34.are less than 100 breeding females in the world. These bantam hens,

:34:35. > :34:40.there are only 30 breeding females, less than 30, probably. Really rare.

:34:41. > :34:46.John, in your experience, do you think the birds that were taken were

:34:47. > :34:51.stolen to order? I have no doubt. When the thieves entered the centre,

:34:52. > :34:55.they've broken toy number of poultry houses specifically targeting those

:34:56. > :35:04.three hens. They wanted them and they would have had a buyer

:35:05. > :35:10.already. They targeted those birds specifically for that purpose. This

:35:11. > :35:16.is something that you have seen across the UK recently. These rare

:35:17. > :35:21.and exotic birds being taken. We have collated at the register

:35:22. > :35:26.upwards of a dozen similar thefts from Chester to the Midlands,

:35:27. > :35:33.Warwickshire, all the way down to Kent, Canterbury, where we recently

:35:34. > :35:39.had a number of very valuable rare Belgium and English game birds

:35:40. > :35:44.stolen. It is worth saying, the fact these birds were taken, it is not

:35:45. > :35:49.just that they were stolen, but the very existence of this entire breed

:35:50. > :35:53.could be at risk. They were thought to be extinct until about 1970 when

:35:54. > :35:59.the director of The Cobthorn Trust found a flock of them. He has been

:36:00. > :36:04.breeding them for 40 years. The fact these three hens have been stolen,

:36:05. > :36:09.they already infertile. So difficult to breed them. There is a

:36:10. > :36:15.distinguishing mark. Yes. All three birds carry a metal tag with the

:36:16. > :36:24.initials NPC, national poultry collection. It is permanently fixed

:36:25. > :36:29.to the wing. If you are offered a bird, have a look at that. If you

:36:30. > :36:33.have seen birds like these or have any information about the thefts,

:36:34. > :36:39.get in touch. It is your last chance to help us catch the crooks who

:36:40. > :36:45.carried out the crimes in the full glare of the CCTV cameras. October

:36:46. > :36:50.last year, we are in an east London supermarket. A woman is adding up

:36:51. > :36:54.her shopping but she forgets her purse which she leaves lying on the

:36:55. > :37:01.checkout. Instead of handing it in, the shopper behind her in the queue

:37:02. > :37:07.sneakily hides the purse among her groceries. You can see it inside the

:37:08. > :37:15.bag. That is not nice. Do you know this shady shopper as give us a

:37:16. > :37:20.call. -- shady shopper? Check out this compassionate crook. He is

:37:21. > :37:24.looking at the odds in a south London betting shop. He thinks he

:37:25. > :37:28.has hurt the jackpot when he sees the door to the counter is unlocked.

:37:29. > :37:35.He nips in the office and told the staff member not to worry, he is not

:37:36. > :37:40.going to hurt her. What a gentleman. He steals ?250 from the till and

:37:41. > :37:49.strides out of the bookies. Let us reduce his odds of doing this again.

:37:50. > :37:52.Check out the guy walking into this shop at Doncaster railway station.

:37:53. > :37:57.Police say he waits until staff leave the counter and then those

:37:58. > :38:03.inside a storeroom just off-camera and pinches and employee's bag.

:38:04. > :38:11.Second later, he is out of the hiding the bag under his own bag.

:38:12. > :38:17.Did you see him walking through Doncaster station last December? You

:38:18. > :38:21.did? Picked up the phone. If you recognise any of that lot,

:38:22. > :38:27.you know what to do. Over the past two weeks, there has been a spate of

:38:28. > :38:31.arson attacks causing ?1 million of damage at three sports centres. Here

:38:32. > :38:35.are just some of the people who have been affected by all of this. Let us

:38:36. > :38:39.find out what has happened at the bowls club with Robert Allen. It is

:38:40. > :38:43.not the first time you have been targeted. Ten years ago, we were

:38:44. > :38:50.burnt to the ground. We survived that. We rebuilt. Now it has

:38:51. > :38:56.happened again. All that is left is a pile of ashes. We lost all of our

:38:57. > :39:04.equipment. All our honours boards, everything has gone. We have got to

:39:05. > :39:07.start yet again and hopefully the council are going to rebuild for us

:39:08. > :39:17.which is essential for the welfare and for the people. You will not

:39:18. > :39:25.give up. What happened at the tennis club? An awful lot of damage. After

:39:26. > :39:29.four years of hard fundraising. Two weeks until completion of the

:39:30. > :39:36.brand-new club has, it was burned down on the 22nd of June. --

:39:37. > :39:41.clubhouse. In Wimbledon fortnight as well. We had so much planned for the

:39:42. > :39:46.brand-new building. We have had to postpone everything. We will carry

:39:47. > :39:51.on. That is the message strongly coming through. Let us talk to David

:39:52. > :39:58.from the rugby club. A lot of kids involved in the rugby club. About

:39:59. > :40:03.600 children come. But we are going to get out. We had training last

:40:04. > :40:09.night. We are going to open on the 6th of September, come what may.

:40:10. > :40:15.Excellent. Let us go and speak to the officer in charge, Detective

:40:16. > :40:20.Inspector Antony Archibald. You are linking these. We are. Arson is

:40:21. > :40:30.quite unusual. Three in such a short space of time in a concentrated area

:40:31. > :40:33.is rare. What could be motive be? I don't know. These clubs are the

:40:34. > :40:38.heart of the communities and I have no idea why someone would do it.

:40:39. > :40:46.What is your message to the public? Please be vigilant. Report anything

:40:47. > :40:50.to us. No matter how insignificant. We are getting a strong sense from

:40:51. > :40:55.everybody here, and this is just a fraction of those affected by it,

:40:56. > :40:59.about how damaging this is. What is your message to whoever is doing

:41:00. > :41:04.this? It has had a significant impact on the community and we will

:41:05. > :41:10.do everything we can to find who is responsible. Quite a difficult task.

:41:11. > :41:17.It is and we need the public's help. Look again at the people. They are

:41:18. > :41:21.very upset and they have been talking to us about just how much it

:41:22. > :41:27.means to them for their sport centres to be opened again.

:41:28. > :41:35.Finally, I have been bringing you appeals were common -- were

:41:36. > :41:40.criminals happy making it hard for the police to catch them. This

:41:41. > :41:43.suspect has been giving the police a helping hand. He went to a jewellers

:41:44. > :41:47.and looked at three rings and ran out of the store with them. The

:41:48. > :41:52.problem was, he left his mobile phone on the counter which contained

:41:53. > :41:59.a rather clear selfie. Police believe his name is Germain Ibrahim

:42:00. > :42:05.Fofana. A French national wanted for a number of other offences. It has

:42:06. > :42:11.been a pretty action packed series, Sian, for you, hasn't it?

:42:12. > :42:20.I can't believe we are coming to the end of our Crimewatch Road show.

:42:21. > :42:24.Thanks to everybody who has helped us along the way. We have had great

:42:25. > :42:31.fun and it has been an action packed adventure.

:42:32. > :42:41.It looks like there is a really busy crime scene going on here.

:42:42. > :42:50.There are 1500 weapons in here. This is the ultimate end of this

:42:51. > :42:58.particular car. Technology in action. Wow!

:42:59. > :43:02.Some great stuff there. That is it for this year. For more details on

:43:03. > :43:08.today's programme, head to the website. We will leave you with

:43:09. > :43:12.another look at the last of our Wanted Faces. The lines will stay

:43:13. > :43:14.open until next Friday. Still plenty of time to call. Thank you for

:43:15. > :43:53.watching. Goodbye. Make the most of your weekend,

:43:54. > :43:55.wherever you are. Use the BBC Weather App to stay

:43:56. > :44:00.one step ahead of the weather.
