:00:10. > :00:16.for your call. We're on the road with the police and we're asking you

:00:17. > :00:24.to help them tackle crime. Today, the good is Samaritan who paid a

:00:25. > :00:28.heavy price for herselfless deed. It was very very scary. I wouldn't want

:00:29. > :00:35.anybody to go through that again. We're on patrol with a police dog

:00:36. > :00:37.wearing body worn police cameras to capture crimes as they happen.

:00:38. > :00:58.You're watching Crimewatch Roadshow. Hello and welcome to the show. We're

:00:59. > :01:02.out and across the country with the UK's police forces and we have the

:01:03. > :01:08.low down on the criminals and their cons. Later in today's programme:

:01:09. > :01:11.Taxi driver, Les Ross was murdered, but who was threatening him shortly

:01:12. > :01:14.before he was killed? Somebody has got information.

:01:15. > :01:20.Somebody knows who has done it and why they've done it and they've not

:01:21. > :01:24.said anything. And the father who fought back against the gunmen who

:01:25. > :01:29.burst into his home. My partner was there and she was really hysterical.

:01:30. > :01:35.I felt I had to do something. It's our second day with

:01:36. > :01:39.Northamptonshire Police and Sian is in Northampton's Market Square. Yes,

:01:40. > :01:44.Rav. The stalls are open. It is beginning to get busy with shoppers

:01:45. > :01:49.by day and of course, its revellers by night. Later, we will be finding

:01:50. > :01:53.out about these ankle tags designed to keep offenders off the drink. We

:01:54. > :01:59.will be with an undercover team as they find out which off licences are

:02:00. > :02:03.selling alcohol to children. First, if someone tried to flag down your

:02:04. > :02:07.car on a country road, what would you do? One woman thought she was

:02:08. > :02:16.doing the right thing, but it is a decision she now regrets. I'm

:02:17. > :02:24.scared. We will get there as soon as we are physically able to, OK?

:02:25. > :02:33.Linda is a care worker who looks after sick and elderly people. She

:02:34. > :02:38.travels dozens of miles every day to visit homes across Northamptonshire.

:02:39. > :02:43.My day really starts at 6.30am. Sometimes I can get home by 3pm and

:02:44. > :02:49.there is times I don't get home until 10pm. Yes, they are long

:02:50. > :02:56.hours. Tuesday, 7th January seemed like just another working day for

:02:57. > :03:04.Linda. At around 4.30pm, she was on her way from Corby to visit a

:03:05. > :03:08.patient in Oundle. I was driving along this dark country lane and it

:03:09. > :03:12.was all hedges. Linda spotted a man standing by the side of the road

:03:13. > :03:18.trying to flag her down. I didn't know if somebody was ill at the side

:03:19. > :03:22.of the road or if somebody or if he was hurt and he wanted help. So I

:03:23. > :03:27.slowed down to see what, if there was any help I could give him. The

:03:28. > :03:33.man moved towards the middle of the road waving as if desperate for her

:03:34. > :03:41.to stop. He came around to the side door of my car and before I stopped,

:03:42. > :03:45.he had opened it. He grabbed me by the back of my hair and tried to

:03:46. > :03:50.pull me out of the car and I just was terrified, I didn't know what he

:03:51. > :03:55.was going to do. I thought he was either going to rape me or he was

:03:56. > :04:02.going to sexually assault me or he wanted the car. I just didn't know

:04:03. > :04:06.what he wanted. Linda was petrified of what was going to happen if she

:04:07. > :04:14.was dragged out of the car. He was a large man, a big man. He was very

:04:15. > :04:19.strong. In desperation, she clung on to the handbrake. When he realised I

:04:20. > :04:26.was not going to let go and he could see that I had got nursing equipment

:04:27. > :04:33.on my passenger side of the car, and he saw my uniform, he asked if I had

:04:34. > :04:37.got any needles on me and I said I don't carry any, I'm a career. I

:04:38. > :04:41.said I just go around and help people. Because the man asked Linda

:04:42. > :04:47.for needles, it is possible that he was a drug user. He did clearly act

:04:48. > :04:52.in a very erratic manner, very unpredictable manner and that might

:04:53. > :04:55.back that theory up. Her attacker's next move was to try and open the

:04:56. > :05:01.boot, but that was locked so he began to search inside the car. He

:05:02. > :05:08.lent across me so I was hardly breathing. His body was over the top

:05:09. > :05:13.of mine and he was looking on the floor, on the passenger seat, he

:05:14. > :05:21.opened the glove compartment to see if there was any medical stuff

:05:22. > :05:26.around. Despite his attempts to hide his identity, Linda thinks see would

:05:27. > :05:31.recognise her attacker again. When he spoke, he spoke with a Caribbean

:05:32. > :05:37.accent. I deal with people of all races and I know the accent quite

:05:38. > :05:45.well. Then, the man grabbed Linda's satnav and ran. He ran like nobody's

:05:46. > :05:56.business across this field and I saw him for about 500 yards and then I

:05:57. > :06:01.didn't see him anymore. Police emergency. A man just stopped me in

:06:02. > :06:07.the middle of the road. He opened the door and asked if I had got any

:06:08. > :06:24.needles or anything. I was scared. I remember saying,

:06:25. > :06:31."How long is it going to be? How long? I'm frightened. I'm having an

:06:32. > :06:35.asthma attack. Don't leave me, I'm scared." The police reached Linda

:06:36. > :06:41.within 20 minutes, the next day she was back at work. It took a lot to

:06:42. > :06:46.get back in the car the next day when it was dark, I was worried I

:06:47. > :06:49.was going down the country lanes. It was awful. I wouldn't wish it upon

:06:50. > :06:58.anybody. A frightening experience for Linda

:06:59. > :07:02.there and DC Rob Mannion is with me now. What description do you have of

:07:03. > :07:12.man who did this to Linda? The victim has described him as a black

:07:13. > :07:19.male aged 25 and 30 years old. About 5'9" inches tall and medium build.

:07:20. > :07:24.He was wearing a bright orange jacket with a stripe down. We think

:07:25. > :07:30.it might be a hi-visibility jacket and we would like people to consider

:07:31. > :07:36.that when she provide information. He was wearing dark jeans, dark

:07:37. > :07:41.trainers and a balaclava. Do you think Linda was specifically

:07:42. > :07:44.targeted? No, we think it was a purely random attack and Linda was

:07:45. > :07:48.unfortunate that she was in that place at that time. The wrong place

:07:49. > :07:54.at the wrong time. Now, there m been a sighting of him, we think, earlier

:07:55. > :07:57.that day? A witness came forward to say there was a male of a similar

:07:58. > :08:05.description seen at 9am in the village that morning. So we are

:08:06. > :08:09.appealing for anybody who may know this male to come forward and

:08:10. > :08:12.provide any information. If you have seen that man, please get in touch.

:08:13. > :08:20.Let's look at today's wanted faces. First up is this man there, is

:08:21. > :08:24.24-year-old, Sean Travis Graham, he was jailed for two-and-a-half years

:08:25. > :08:26.for burglary. He was released on licence, but failed to stick to the

:08:27. > :08:32.conditions of his release and is wanted back in prison. Graham is

:08:33. > :08:42.from the Liverpool area and has links to Costa Rica. Wanted face

:08:43. > :08:48.number 18 here is Mark Johnson or mark storer. He is wanted for

:08:49. > :08:53.questioning by officers in North Yorkshire in connection of unpaid

:08:54. > :08:58.hotel bills of over ?4,000. He is a keen train spotter. Do you recognise

:08:59. > :09:03.this man here? This is Carlos Oriel Rodrigues. The 36-year-old is wanted

:09:04. > :09:08.for questioning in connection with two burglaries at homes in London.

:09:09. > :09:16.He is a Portuguese speaking Columbian national has a tattoo on

:09:17. > :09:27.his left wrist with the name Danjelo and on the other with the name

:09:28. > :09:33.Bradley. Here is Adam Stewart Lea or Addie. He failed to stick to his

:09:34. > :09:39.terms and is wanted back inside. Lea has connections to the Liverpool,

:09:40. > :09:43.Crewe, chest a Carlisle -- Chester and Carlisle areas. He has a mole

:09:44. > :09:54.above his top lip. If you recognise any of them, pick up the phone. You

:09:55. > :10:02.can call us on: 08000 468999 Our you can text us on: 63399 Or you can

:10:03. > :10:07.e-mail us. The Metropolitan Police released

:10:08. > :10:13.what has been the largest world trial of technology called body worn

:10:14. > :10:16.video. Tiny cameras that are attached to the officer's uniform.

:10:17. > :10:22.They can film a crime as it is being committed, but also the police's

:10:23. > :10:25.reaction. For year, they have been using them for years, so we have

:10:26. > :10:31.been out with a team to find out how they work. It is a Friday night and

:10:32. > :10:36.PC Hughes and Spires are getting ready for a busy shift. They will be

:10:37. > :10:40.patrolling Northampton town centre armed with an essential piece of

:10:41. > :10:44.kit. Pull the front TV down and the green light indicates it is

:10:45. > :10:51.recording and at the end of what you want to be filming, push up and

:10:52. > :10:57.that's it. As simple as that. 50 miles away in Kettering, PC Steve

:10:58. > :11:03.Thorpe is a dog handler, the area he covers is rural, but he is using the

:11:04. > :11:07.technology. The body worn video that I'm using today is intrared and it

:11:08. > :11:13.will record in the dark. Tonight we're on patrol with the police dog

:11:14. > :11:21.and hopefully, we'll catch some baddies, won't we? Yeah. Back in

:11:22. > :11:26.central Northampton, the police had a call. Two women need their help.

:11:27. > :11:29.Hello. One of the women tells the officers that a drunk girl has hit

:11:30. > :11:38.her as she was walking along the street. Give us a couple of minutes.

:11:39. > :11:42.Dan checks in with colleagues who have spotted a couple of likely

:11:43. > :11:47.suspects. Our colleagues have got a couple of girls stopped at the bus

:11:48. > :11:52.station which may or not be based on the description. I would say they

:11:53. > :11:57.are about five nine. Dan and Bas head off to the bus station to see

:11:58. > :12:02.what is going on. In Kettering PC Thorpe is on his way to investigate

:12:03. > :12:07.a suspected burglary. This is a farm which is on the outskirts of the

:12:08. > :12:12.town. They have been a victim of crime a week or so were a generator

:12:13. > :12:16.was stolen. As he starts to search the area, Steve turns on his body

:12:17. > :12:25.worn video to record any potential evidence. A shouted warning and the

:12:26. > :12:33.search is on. Another criminal could soon be caught on camera. Since

:12:34. > :12:37.Northamptonshire Police began using body worn video back in 2007, they

:12:38. > :12:42.have recorded thousands of criminal incidents. But not only is the

:12:43. > :12:47.footage an important tool for the police, it could be saving us money.

:12:48. > :12:51.The police believe that the footage can persuade criminals caught on

:12:52. > :12:57.camera to plead guilty earlier. As the evidence is so damning. That

:12:58. > :13:03.could save on expensive and lengthy court cases. But will the camera

:13:04. > :13:08.help Steve and the police dog as they search the farm for an

:13:09. > :13:12.intruder? Go on. Find him. This is where it comes into its own. It

:13:13. > :13:18.records infrared. Even though it is dark, you can see the dog. The wind

:13:19. > :13:25.is coming that way. If there is any scent, he will pick up on the scent.

:13:26. > :13:29.The trail has gone cold. Nobody about, no mate. Unfortunately,

:13:30. > :13:36.whoever was here has gone. It is time for Steve to head back out to

:13:37. > :13:44.await another call. In Northampton, Bas and Dan found their drunk

:13:45. > :13:47.suspect. She has been arrested for drunk and disorderly behaviour and

:13:48. > :13:55.the officers explain she is being record on their cameras. Be

:13:56. > :14:13.behaviour gets worse. She spits into an officer's face. Do not spit. I'm

:14:14. > :14:22.going to arrest you for assault. And that's for spitting in my face. Get

:14:23. > :14:28.off. You previously spot in my face and it is for our protection. And

:14:29. > :14:34.the officers space a spit hood over her head. The spitting woman can see

:14:35. > :14:45.through it, but it protects the officers from disease. The PC

:14:46. > :14:50.explained about the camera. It is evidence of her disorderly behaviour

:14:51. > :14:55.and her spitting on me is there too. Police believes that wearing the

:14:56. > :14:58.cameras offer them greater protection and reduces the number of

:14:59. > :15:04.confrontations that they have to deal with. During the last incident,

:15:05. > :15:09.one of the friends, of the female that was locked up, started accusing

:15:10. > :15:12.us of being excessive force. As soon as I mentioned she was being

:15:13. > :15:16.recorded, she turned away. There is nothing she can say and that's

:15:17. > :15:22.brilliant. All I have to use is my mouth, point to the camera and job

:15:23. > :15:25.done. The spitting woman was charged with being drunk and disorderly in a

:15:26. > :15:30.public place and assaulting a police officer. A busy Friday night winds

:15:31. > :15:32.down across the county. Officers return to base and recharge their

:15:33. > :15:51.cameras ready for the next shift. How easy are the cameras to use?

:15:52. > :15:58.Very simple. You just pick it up, slide the thing down at the front

:15:59. > :16:03.and it works straightaway. There are different types? A variety of

:16:04. > :16:08.cameras. Ones that our recording constantly, so even you put --

:16:09. > :16:13.forget to press the button, the first few seconds I captured. Give

:16:14. > :16:20.us some examples of when they have been useful? Police officers and

:16:21. > :16:23.police community support officers are capturing evidence of

:16:24. > :16:29.anti-social behaviour, evidence of crime, evidence of the start of an

:16:30. > :16:38.incident, and they are often useful for recording witnesses and how the

:16:39. > :16:45.crime is impacted on them immediately afterwards. Sometimes

:16:46. > :16:49.the police get complaints. Do these help in respect of that at all? They

:16:50. > :16:55.are very helpful, particularly dealing with malicious complaints.

:16:56. > :16:59.When the video is available, it can quickly resolve some of those

:17:00. > :17:04.complaints. Would you not be without these no? Guillemot cry certainly

:17:05. > :17:09.would not go out without one. Ayes little -- a vital piece of kit.

:17:10. > :17:15.Later we will find out how victims of crime and have their voices

:17:16. > :17:18.heard. Still ahead: The undercover operation sending teenagers to test

:17:19. > :17:28.whether off-licences sell booze to children. She has got her bag in her

:17:29. > :17:32.hand. Now to a brutal murder featured on Crimewatch last year.

:17:33. > :17:33.Unfortunately, it remains unsolved. Police have new information which

:17:34. > :17:50.they hope you can help with. The worst thing is that somebody

:17:51. > :17:53.knows something. Someone has information. Somebody knows who has

:17:54. > :17:58.done it and why they have done it. They are not saying anything. We

:17:59. > :18:01.have spoken to thousands of people and it has given us new lines of

:18:02. > :18:10.inquiry and potential motives for the attack on legs. Les Ross, known

:18:11. > :18:14.as David to his family, worked as a taxi driver in Corby. In December

:18:15. > :18:23.2012 he was murdered, seemingly for no reason. His brother and friend

:18:24. > :18:29.spoke to Crimewatch last February. David was one of the best brothers

:18:30. > :18:39.you could ever, ever think of. A very, very kind man. You could not

:18:40. > :18:46.help but like him. Lead also worked regularly as a doorman in corporate.

:18:47. > :18:55.-- layers also worked as a doorman in Corby. He enjoyed the banter. He

:18:56. > :18:59.enjoyed meeting people. In 2012 he took the opportunity to be part of

:19:00. > :19:08.of a new nightclub in Corby town centre. It opened on the 6th of

:19:09. > :19:13.December, and he was front of house. Being part of the nightclub scene

:19:14. > :19:18.was always part of his dream. The night was really busy. He must have

:19:19. > :19:25.shaken hands with several hundred people. Everybody wished him look.

:19:26. > :19:29.He was just chuffed. Nine days after the opening night, he returned from

:19:30. > :19:34.working at the club to discover an unwelcome surprise. I have just come

:19:35. > :19:47.home from work... The burglars had also left the taps

:19:48. > :19:54.running and flooded the house, damaging the electrics. While

:19:55. > :20:00.repairs were made, he moved into the express in Corby old village. The

:20:01. > :20:06.next evening, he worked in the club as usual and returned to the club

:20:07. > :20:10.around 2am on the Monday morning. We know that he received a phone call

:20:11. > :20:15.at quarter past seven on Monday morning. We also know that he

:20:16. > :20:21.replied to a text at 7:32am that morning. That was the last anybody

:20:22. > :20:30.heard of him. Somebody had got into his hotel room and attacked him. He

:20:31. > :20:33.had been repeatedly punched and kicked in the head, the blows

:20:34. > :20:42.causing him to lose consciousness and died. -- die. He was discovered

:20:43. > :20:48.by hotel staff a few hours later. More than a year has passed since an

:20:49. > :20:53.appeal was launched on carbon -- Crimewatch. Somebody was offering

:20:54. > :21:00.him a substantial amount of money and could be responsible for his

:21:01. > :21:06.murder. He had a ?5,000 stake in the nightclub. We believe he was offered

:21:07. > :21:09.?50,000 to hand over his share. We believe the people making that offer

:21:10. > :21:14.were intimidating him. They were visiting him on a regular basis. And

:21:15. > :21:17.they were causing him some concern. We believe those people are the

:21:18. > :21:28.people who were responsible for the fatal assault on the Monday morning.

:21:29. > :21:31.If we were aware that he was being intimidated, there is a high

:21:32. > :21:38.probability that we could have helped them. That is a regret we

:21:39. > :21:42.have got to live with. Police have scoured CCTV from around

:21:43. > :21:49.the hotel and now want to speak to the drivers of two cars, you may

:21:50. > :21:53.have vital information. The first, an old style red Volvo, was seen

:21:54. > :22:00.flashing its lights while parked outside the hotel early on the

:22:01. > :22:04.morning of Les's death. The second, a silver grey saloon vehicle, was

:22:05. > :22:08.seen a couple of hours later being driven by a male in a shirt and tie

:22:09. > :22:14.in a street near the hotel. The drivers were in the area at the time

:22:15. > :22:19.and may well hold crucial information. The worst thing is that

:22:20. > :22:21.somebody knows something, somebody has information, some of the worst

:22:22. > :22:23.thing is that somebody knows something, somebody has information,

:22:24. > :22:25.summary knows whodunnit unwise they've done it. And they are not

:22:26. > :22:38.saying anything. And that is really, really tough to take.

:22:39. > :22:44.Detective chief inspector Martin Kinch enjoins me. How much under

:22:45. > :22:49.pressure was layers to sell his share of the Pope? He was under

:22:50. > :22:53.immense pressure. We know he had received a visit at his home and at

:22:54. > :23:00.this places of work. Somebody was putting a lot of pressure on him. We

:23:01. > :23:05.saw in the film that there are a two drivers who would like to talk to.

:23:06. > :23:12.There are other potential witnesses? That's right. There was a man

:23:13. > :23:16.crossing the road and then he sees something that makes him change his

:23:17. > :23:21.mind. That could be very significant to the investigation. We are also

:23:22. > :23:29.keen to speak to a lady who has blonde hair and was wearing a black

:23:30. > :23:32.dress. She was with Les in the early hours of the morning and was

:23:33. > :23:36.probably the last person to have a significant conversation with him

:23:37. > :23:43.before he died. What if people are too frightened to come forward? Your

:23:44. > :23:47.safety is paramount to us. I have got experienced and trained officers

:23:48. > :23:51.who will speak to you confidentially wherever and whenever you feel

:23:52. > :24:01.safest. You could always call the Crimestoppers number anonymously.

:24:02. > :24:05.Thank you. If you do have any information, you can text or e-mail

:24:06. > :24:09.us. Now to the suburbs of Northampton,

:24:10. > :24:10.where a young father coming from the school run was subjected to a truly

:24:11. > :24:31.terrifying ordeal. They spoilt a home that we used to

:24:32. > :24:38.call a family home. We don't feel safe with the kids in the house.

:24:39. > :24:40.Businessman Dean, his partner Stephanie and their three children

:24:41. > :24:47.live in Little Billing just outside Northampton. I like being a dad, it

:24:48. > :24:51.is good. One is seven, one is five and one is four. I have been going

:24:52. > :25:00.out with Stephanie for seven years. We get married in July. She is as

:25:01. > :25:06.important to me as the kids are. I want to look after and protector as

:25:07. > :25:10.much as I do my kids. On a Friday morning in March, Stephanie was

:25:11. > :25:14.having a lie in. She had worked late the previous night. Team took the

:25:15. > :25:19.children to school and returned home to get ready for work. When I was

:25:20. > :25:27.driving into my street, approaching my drive, I saw two blokes. I did

:25:28. > :25:33.not think anything of it. I approached the front door. At that

:25:34. > :25:37.point they were right behind me. They pushed me against the door

:25:38. > :25:44.quite viciously and they said to me, we have got a gun, let us in. The

:25:45. > :25:52.men pushed him inside and locked the door behind them. They made a

:25:53. > :25:55.chilling threat. We have got your girlfriend. We have got your

:25:56. > :26:02.girlfriend. They said they had already found Stephanie. They

:26:03. > :26:10.started rifling through my pockets. They took my phone, my wallet,

:26:11. > :26:15.money, khakis. I gave them everything so they would leave

:26:16. > :26:19.straightaway and that they would not harm Stephanie. The thieves were not

:26:20. > :26:26.satisfied. Somehow they knew that Dean had a safe in the house. They

:26:27. > :26:37.were putting pressure on me with the gun to go upstairs and get the money

:26:38. > :26:42.out of the safe. The gunman waited while Dean fetched the safe. As he

:26:43. > :26:46.reached his bedroom he saw that Stephanie was still safely in bed. I

:26:47. > :26:53.saw Stephanie lying in bed, still sleeping, which was a sigh of

:26:54. > :26:58.relief, just to know she was OK. That was a good feeling in a bad

:26:59. > :27:05.situation. Being woke Stephanie and told her to call the police. I

:27:06. > :27:14.whispered to her to ring the police that they were two men in the house

:27:15. > :27:21.wife Stephanie Cole 999. -- called 999. But the gunman became

:27:22. > :27:27.suspicious and started to come up the stairs. He came up the stairs

:27:28. > :27:32.because he could hear something. That is when he saw my partner on

:27:33. > :27:39.the phone and started shouting at her to get off the phone. Dean

:27:40. > :27:45.stepped between the gunman and his girlfriend. At this point I was

:27:46. > :27:51.thinking they were going to shoot me anyway. The fact that my partner was

:27:52. > :27:55.there and she was really hysterical, I felt I had to do

:27:56. > :28:02.something. In desperation, Dean kicked out one of the banister

:28:03. > :28:09.spindles. I used that to try to defend myself and my partner. I

:28:10. > :28:16.started running at him and shouting back at him. I went chasing him down

:28:17. > :28:22.the stairs. Thankfully the threats worked. The robbers began backing

:28:23. > :28:27.off down the stairs. As I pushed them down the stairs, when I got to

:28:28. > :28:31.the bottom of the stairs I took the opportunity that McVeigh took the

:28:32. > :28:35.opportunity and ran out the door. At this point it was a relief, knowing

:28:36. > :28:43.how lucky we were that nobody got hurt. With the robbers out of the

:28:44. > :29:00.house Stephanie rang the police. DC Donna Fleming was on the scene

:29:01. > :29:04.soon after the robbery. When I interviewed Dean he was still in a

:29:05. > :29:10.state of shock. He was also angry about what had happened. They have

:29:11. > :29:15.spoilt a home that we used to call a family home. We do not feel safe

:29:16. > :29:28.with the kids in the house. It worries me that even now they could

:29:29. > :29:36.have taken Stephanie. That goes through my mind all the time. And DC

:29:37. > :29:40.Donna Fleming is with me now. A terrifying ordeal for this couple.

:29:41. > :29:45.What descriptions do you have of the two men? The first male is a white

:29:46. > :29:50.male. He is in his 40s and of a skinny build. He has stubble on his

:29:51. > :29:58.face and he was wearing a long jaofd grey hooded top and the second male,

:29:59. > :30:08.he was white and in his 40s and of a bigger build and wearing a grey long

:30:09. > :30:12.sleev hooded top. How were the males be having? Very aggressive. The

:30:13. > :30:16.first male was carrying the gun and appeared to be more in charge of the

:30:17. > :30:20.situation. The second male appeared to be more passive to the situation

:30:21. > :30:24.and a bit more nervous. And he was the first one to run off, wasn't he?

:30:25. > :30:28.He was, indeed. It was shocking when you think what happened to these

:30:29. > :30:34.people. Horrendous. What's your appeal to the public? Clearly, this

:30:35. > :30:38.was a terrifying ordeal for Dean and Stephanie in their own home. It is

:30:39. > :30:43.clear on the 999 call how frightened Stephanie was to have the males in

:30:44. > :30:48.her home and I would appeal to the public, if they think back to that

:30:49. > :30:52.time of day, between 9am and 9.30am, did they see these two males? Is

:30:53. > :30:55.there anything they can think of now, that they didn't think much of

:30:56. > :30:58.at the time, if they can give us a call and let us know what

:30:59. > :31:02.information we've got and it would be really helpful. Donna, thank you

:31:03. > :31:07.very much. Crimes like that have a big impact

:31:08. > :31:13.on the victims and the justice system can be a scary thing for

:31:14. > :31:20.them. A new code is helping change that. This is to make sure those

:31:21. > :31:27.people who are affected by crime are supported? We in Victim Support look

:31:28. > :31:31.after people who are affected. We give them the strength to recover

:31:32. > :31:35.from the crime. The Victim's Code is about making sure that those people

:31:36. > :31:38.who are affected by crime know how they will be treated by the system

:31:39. > :31:42.to ensure they have the confidence to report the crimes and give

:31:43. > :31:47.evidence in court and to ensure offenders are convicted. Tell me

:31:48. > :31:51.what a victim personal statement is? The victim personal statement let's

:31:52. > :31:54.the victim have their say and what's important about it is it let's them

:31:55. > :31:58.get across, not just the physical, but also the emotional impact that

:31:59. > :32:02.the crime has had on them. OK, we can see an example now. We can hear

:32:03. > :32:06.from a victim who did just that. This is 20-year-old Rhys Wilson from

:32:07. > :32:12.Cardiff. He was out in friends in March when he was attacked by a man

:32:13. > :32:19.carrying a knife. He cut my face and my ear with a knife. It happened so

:32:20. > :32:25.quick. It was just unreal. When the police asked me to do a victim

:32:26. > :32:28.impact statement, I wasn't sure about doing it, but I thought I

:32:29. > :32:34.might as well do it because then it gets my part of the story across and

:32:35. > :32:39.show how I was feeling and how my family and friends were feeling

:32:40. > :32:43.about it. It is like you are getting everything off your chest like how

:32:44. > :32:46.everything panned out in on the night and how stuff has gone since

:32:47. > :32:49.that night. We can see there the clear difference to a normal

:32:50. > :32:53.statement which is just where the offence happened and describing the

:32:54. > :32:56.offender perhaps, this is how it affected him, his life and his

:32:57. > :33:00.family as well. Yeah, no, it is really important that people feel

:33:01. > :33:04.that they have got the confidence to give evidence. Our Witness Service

:33:05. > :33:10.will look after those who are called on to give evidence in court. They

:33:11. > :33:13.can provide familiarisation visits to make them comfortable when they

:33:14. > :33:19.go to court and for the witnesses who are vulnerable or are

:33:20. > :33:22.intimidated, they can ask for special measures and these include

:33:23. > :33:28.having screens or giving their evidence by vie yo link. We --

:33:29. > :33:34.videolink. We provide support for those who need it, after they have

:33:35. > :33:39.been to court. If the court sees the impact. It must be benefital for the

:33:40. > :33:43.judges to see that as well? You can see from what Rhys said, the impact

:33:44. > :33:47.statement gives a sense of the emotional impact on them and their

:33:48. > :33:51.family. That's what really makes a difference and that's what makes the

:33:52. > :33:57.evidence really compelling for the judge. Absolutely. I remember we

:33:58. > :34:01.used them when I was in the police and very effective and a useful tool

:34:02. > :34:04.as well. Sian, oh, they are in Northampton.

:34:05. > :34:10.Well, later tonight this part of Northampton will be teeming with

:34:11. > :34:15.people drinking and going to the pubs and clubs. Most of them, of

:34:16. > :34:18.course, will be adducts, but how prevent shops and pubs selling to

:34:19. > :34:20.those who are under-age? Well, we have been out with one team designed

:34:21. > :34:31.to do just that. We're doing a test purchase op

:34:32. > :34:36.today. PC Rod McKenzie is leading the operation in Corby. Many of

:34:37. > :34:43.these officers regularly operate underdiscover and their identities

:34:44. > :34:47.have been -- undercover and their identities are hidden. We have seen

:34:48. > :34:51.an increase in anti-social behaviour. That's what we are trying

:34:52. > :34:57.to, just nip that in the bud. Selling alcohol to a minor is a

:34:58. > :35:03.criminal offence. Rod and the team are targeting specific shops. Well,

:35:04. > :35:05.it is not a fishing exercise, it is intelligence-led. We gather

:35:06. > :35:10.information and information from officers and that's how we've drawn

:35:11. > :35:15.up our top list of the premises we want to check today. Police cadets

:35:16. > :35:20.aged under 18 will be sent to try to buy alcohol in the off licences. The

:35:21. > :35:26.first premises that we're going to check, if we go back three or four

:35:27. > :35:31.weeks, on that occasion they sold to the test purchaser. They failed the

:35:32. > :35:36.test last time. A cadet goes and tries to buy alcohol, but comes out

:35:37. > :35:39.empty-handed. It looks like the test purchase is coming out and she

:35:40. > :35:49.hasn't got anything with her. That looks like it has been a refusal. So

:35:50. > :35:53.it looks like the job is done. It is a positive effort that they have

:35:54. > :35:59.refused. It looks like they have tightened up their procedures. The

:36:00. > :36:03.next two off licences refuse to sell to the cadets of the third which

:36:04. > :36:08.failed in a test purchase a few months ago, also says no. He's out.

:36:09. > :36:14.Nothing in his hand. He what had a refusal. A month earlier, a similar

:36:15. > :36:18.operation tested 12 premises. Three did sell alcohol to under-age

:36:19. > :36:21.children and were fined. These operations are not only about

:36:22. > :36:26.checking if off licences are following the law. Young people who

:36:27. > :36:33.get the alcohol and then become, they drink too much and are unsup

:36:34. > :36:36.viced, they are vulnerable to maybe being assaulted or worse. Their

:36:37. > :36:42.fifth visit of the day and the team are off to a Tesco's on the

:36:43. > :36:45.outskirts of town. Police say they are acting on intelligence. This

:36:46. > :36:50.location we have got information that they are using the self-service

:36:51. > :36:56.check-out and when they are purchasing their alcohol it is not

:36:57. > :37:01.being checked as well as it should. It looks like she has got something.

:37:02. > :37:07.Right, so we have possibly got a sale there. She has got a bag in her

:37:08. > :37:14.hand. The cadet and officers return and the alcohol is bagged as

:37:15. > :37:18.evidence. Chose alcohol. Went to the self-service till. The sale of

:37:19. > :37:22.alcohol needs to be authorised, that's being authorised by a member

:37:23. > :37:30.of staff. It looks like the check hasn't been done on this occasion.

:37:31. > :37:35.One of the undercover officers, Greg, heads in to speak to the

:37:36. > :37:38.manager. Is the manager about or assistant manager? Greg explains

:37:39. > :37:42.that the female member of staff who verified the sale will have to speak

:37:43. > :37:45.with his uniformed officer. There is going to be a certain amount of

:37:46. > :37:49.heartache involved in this, I can tell you that now. It is possible

:37:50. > :37:58.she is going to get some form of sanction. Greg calls in his team to

:37:59. > :38:03.speak with the staff member. He explains that she sold alcohol to a

:38:04. > :38:08.minor. The way that I propose to deal with this is by way of Fixed

:38:09. > :38:12.Penalty Notice. We will issue a Fixed Penalty Notice for the sum of

:38:13. > :38:16.?90. There is a few things I need to go through. If you have any

:38:17. > :38:19.questions then just please ask. Whilst the ticket is issued, the

:38:20. > :38:23.manager is warned that if another offence is committed within three

:38:24. > :38:31.months, the store's licence would have to be reviewed. She is a little

:38:32. > :38:33.bit upset as a result of, you know, the police presence and how we've

:38:34. > :38:37.dealt with the matter, but she understands the importance of that

:38:38. > :38:41.and the fact that we need to get that message out not to sell alcohol

:38:42. > :38:45.to young people. It doesn't matter how busy you are or what you are

:38:46. > :38:49.doing, if you have any doubt, you don't authorise that sale. Ought of

:38:50. > :38:53.the seven stores -- out of the seven stores test purchased, only one sold

:38:54. > :38:57.alcohol to the cadets and for the team, that's a successful day. Let's

:38:58. > :39:02.hope that in itself is enough because that will potentially stop

:39:03. > :39:05.one, two, maybe countless numbers of young people purchasing alcohol and

:39:06. > :39:10.putting themselves in a vulnerable position as a result of that. Tesco

:39:11. > :39:14.told us when it comes to selling alcohol they have a strict Think 25

:39:15. > :39:18.policy, that's where they ask for prove of age from anyone who looks

:39:19. > :39:21.under the age of 25. The firm says they are disappointed that this

:39:22. > :39:25.wasn't observed on this particular occasion. They have taken a number

:39:26. > :39:32.of steps in the store including retraining of the team there. The

:39:33. > :39:36.Northamptonshire Police take alcohol related incidents seriously and

:39:37. > :39:42.chief inspector Dave Spencer is here. We're run ago six month pilot

:39:43. > :39:47.with alcohol tags. You wear them on the ankle, there are there 24/7.

:39:48. > :39:51.Every half an hour, it will analyse the sweat from the person wearing it

:39:52. > :39:55.and it will detect how much alcohol is in the system. That gets

:39:56. > :39:59.transmitted back to a computer that logs this and we can see if people

:40:00. > :40:02.are complying with what they have agreed which is to be sober. Lisa is

:40:03. > :40:08.wearing this. What does it feel like? It does feel a bit unusual. Is

:40:09. > :40:13.that strange? Is it heavy? What's it like for somebody wearing it? Well,

:40:14. > :40:18.I wore one for ten days, it is light. It is five ounces. The first

:40:19. > :40:22.day, the first 36 hours, it can feel different. You are not used to

:40:23. > :40:27.wearing things on your leg, once you get through that, you hardly notice

:40:28. > :40:34.it is there. Well, who would end up wearing a tag? This pilot, we're

:40:35. > :40:39.targeting your binge drinker or the person who gets too much and that

:40:40. > :40:43.would cause them get involved in minor assaults, and scuffles. It is

:40:44. > :40:46.a condition that would keep them out of the court system and the

:40:47. > :40:51.condition would be to wear this for four weeks and not drink. Tell us

:40:52. > :40:55.about how it went? What was your experience. Wearing it was

:40:56. > :41:01.comfortable, you hardly noticed it after the first day. On the grass,

:41:02. > :41:08.that you can see, the black line is my alcohol -- on the graph that you

:41:09. > :41:13.can see, the black line is my alcohol consumption. The blue line,

:41:14. > :41:18.that's what we call the tamper line, I did try and break or disrupt the

:41:19. > :41:23.tag and you can see that with a high peak where I put silver foil between

:41:24. > :41:26.my leg and the tag. The red line measures the temperature around the

:41:27. > :41:31.tag, if someone cuts it and removes it, the temperature will alter so

:41:32. > :41:37.you will know they have removed it. You have put that into the graph. If

:41:38. > :41:41.somebody was wearing it for real, what would you be doing working with

:41:42. > :41:46.that person? If someone was drinking with the graph that I produced, if

:41:47. > :41:51.it was just the first peak on its own, the one drinking episode, we

:41:52. > :41:55.would speak them and give them advice and if it was the whole

:41:56. > :42:00.graph, we would bring them in, if they weren't taking it seriously, we

:42:01. > :42:01.would charge them with the offence which they were originally arrested

:42:02. > :42:09.for. Good luck with that project. Police are chasing up a potential

:42:10. > :42:14.new lead in the case we featured today of Linda, remember, the care

:42:15. > :42:19.worker robbed in her car. We have had a great sounding call through on

:42:20. > :42:24.wanted face number 17, that's Sean Travis Graham. We have had names

:42:25. > :42:28.given for the men seen on CCTV attacking a woman who runs a dental

:42:29. > :42:32.business from her home in Kettering. Thank you very much to everyone who

:42:33. > :42:37.got in touch. Sian, tell us where you are going to be on Monday. Well,

:42:38. > :42:41.Rav, at the start of our second week, I will be with one of the

:42:42. > :42:46.biggest UK police forces, that's West Midlands Police and I will be

:42:47. > :42:49.live from a fake cannabis farm where I'm going to be seeing the dangers

:42:50. > :42:53.that the officers go through when they are searching for drugs and

:42:54. > :43:01.we're with a potential new recruit. He is very cute. He is called

:43:02. > :43:08.Stavros. He will be put through his paces and before he can corks he has

:43:09. > :43:11.to be -- before he can, he has to get over his fear of the vacuum

:43:12. > :43:15.cleaner! We will leave you with our wanted

:43:16. > :43:19.faces. If you know where any of them are, please get in touch. Have a

:43:20. > :43:54.great weekend. We will see you on Monday.

:43:55. > :44:00.The average person moves home eight times during their life.

:44:01. > :44:04.So that's eight times we have to move the sofa.

:44:05. > :44:07.Eight times we have to redecorate.

:44:08. > :44:11.Eight times we have to locate the stopcock.

:44:12. > :44:15.But there's one thing that's easy to do when you move -
