Good morning! We live and ready for your calls. We are with the police,

:00:08.:00:14.

asking for your help to hands down criminals near you. Today, a shop

:00:15.:00:20.

assistant held at knife-point. One little slip and that would have been

:00:21.:00:26.

eight! And how police caught a paedophile preying on children at a

:00:27.:00:29.

top London tourists board. You are watching Crimewatch

:00:30.:00:32.

Roadshow. -- tourist spot. Hello and welcome to Crimewatch

:00:33.:00:54.

Roadshow. All this month we are live my, travelling the length of the UK

:00:55.:00:58.

asking for your help to catch criminals that are making people's

:00:59.:01:02.

lives a misery. Coming up on today's show: The devious

:01:03.:01:07.

distraction burglar who brought an elderly homeowner to her knees. He

:01:08.:01:16.

could have beaten me up, I wouldn't have been here today, who knows? And

:01:17.:01:22.

mown down seconds from home, can you help us find the motorist who drove

:01:23.:01:29.

off after hitting this little girl? I don't go out on my own in case

:01:30.:01:34.

another car hits me. And I will be getting the lowdown on counterfeit

:01:35.:01:37.

goods like this. Stay with us to find out what to look out for. Today

:01:38.:01:43.

we are still in sunny south Wales, the team has moved on, and Thursday

:01:44.:01:50.

brings us to Bridgend. You know what it takes to be a

:01:51.:01:56.

police officer, Rav, it is one of the most physical professions, so I

:01:57.:01:59.

am finding out how fit and strong you have got to be. I hope she has

:02:00.:02:07.

had a good breakfast! Police want to find and armed robber who threatened

:02:08.:02:11.

two shop assistants in the Welsh valleys.

:02:12.:02:16.

He could have killed me, one little slip and that would have been it.

:02:17.:02:29.

With trophies, gold and glassware, this jewel of's has been part of the

:02:30.:02:34.

Clydach community for decades. Sarah had worked there for three years. I

:02:35.:02:41.

loved it, regular customers would come in, you'd always have something

:02:42.:02:44.

to talk about, you would have people who had been coming to the shop for

:02:45.:02:50.

25 years. One afternoon in July last year, while the UK was in the grip

:02:51.:02:54.

of a heatwave, a man entered clearly overdressed for the weather. I was

:02:55.:02:59.

sitting on the desk where you can see the door, so when he came in, I

:03:00.:03:04.

had that feeling something wasn't right, because he went straight over

:03:05.:03:08.

to the trophy action, and people don't do that, they always come to

:03:09.:03:12.

the counter. Hearses missions were right. Within seconds of coming in,

:03:13.:03:17.

the man had made his way behind the cash desk. -- her suspicions. I

:03:18.:03:23.

looked down, and I realised he had the night. My initial thought was, I

:03:24.:03:28.

could die. And that is when he started shouting, the money, the

:03:29.:03:35.

safe, just screaming at us to get the money. The armed man ordered her

:03:36.:03:39.

into the back office where the younger cousin was working. He shut

:03:40.:03:45.

the door. The cousins were trapped with their attacker. He told me to

:03:46.:03:50.

sit down, and he ordered Danielle to go and get the money. I thought, my

:03:51.:03:56.

only option is TPIM calm, keep talking to him, let him know we are

:03:57.:04:02.

going to give him once. -- to keep him calm. The robber demanded the

:04:03.:04:06.

women put the contents of their safe into his bag. It was hard for me

:04:07.:04:14.

because he had a knife, but I knew if I stood up, the whole situation

:04:15.:04:18.

could change dramatically and go terribly wrong. He got away with

:04:19.:04:24.

about ?300, jumping back over-the-counter. He tried to make

:04:25.:04:27.

sure he hadn't left any fingerprints on the door.

:04:28.:04:48.

That is when it hit me, what had happened. At that point, I started

:04:49.:04:55.

shaking. Me and Danielle actually hugged, just shaking, just so

:04:56.:05:03.

terrified. It is unbelievable how it actually feels when someone is

:05:04.:05:07.

standing there, threatening you with a knife. It is a huge concern that a

:05:08.:05:13.

man is on the streets with a knife, and as you can see from the CCTV,

:05:14.:05:18.

he's not afraid to use it. Police are hoping the man's choice of

:05:19.:05:23.

clothing would have set him apart on a searing hot July day. The man was

:05:24.:05:29.

dressed in a great goodie, tracksuit bottoms. Anybody else on that day

:05:30.:05:34.

would have been wearing clothing which was suitable for the weather.

:05:35.:05:38.

I think, if people had seen him, they would remember him because of

:05:39.:05:43.

the way he was dressed. The owner retired and closed the shop for good

:05:44.:05:47.

in February, but for Sarah the memories of that day are still very

:05:48.:05:52.

much in the present. He's changed my life. He's made me a completely

:05:53.:05:56.

different person, and why should he get away with it? He could have

:05:57.:06:04.

killed me. One little slip and that would have been it for me. DC Simon

:06:05.:06:12.

Davies has been investigating, this man was brandishing a knife, it must

:06:13.:06:17.

have been a terrifying ordeal. That is right, as you can see from the

:06:18.:06:22.

reconstruction, the man has gone in there, and both Sarah and Danielle

:06:23.:06:26.

have conducted themselves immensely well and are very stressful

:06:27.:06:29.

conditions, and I would like to commend them on the way in which

:06:30.:06:33.

they conducted themselves. The man was brandishing a knife in the back

:06:34.:06:36.

room, and it must have been horrific. Absolutely. It happened in

:06:37.:06:42.

July, it was very hot, and he wasn't stressed for the weather. It was a

:06:43.:06:51.

particularly hot day, and the man was wearing clothing which you would

:06:52.:06:55.

not necessarily wear on a day like that. He was wearing a thick great

:06:56.:07:01.

hoodie-type garment with large buttons on the neckline. He was

:07:02.:07:05.

wearing a red football top underneath the hoodie. He was also

:07:06.:07:09.

wearing dark-coloured tracksuit bottoms with stripes on either side,

:07:10.:07:13.

white trainers, sunglasses, and he was carrying this black editors

:07:14.:07:20.

rucksack. As you can see, it's quite clearly shows the Adidas motif.

:07:21.:07:25.

Thank you very much for that. And you think he was local. Back to you,

:07:26.:07:29.

Rav. We start the wanted faces today with

:07:30.:07:34.

Dorrel Philip Miller, today is a 63rd birthday. He has pleaded guilty

:07:35.:07:38.

to possessing crack cocaine with intent to supply but failed to

:07:39.:07:42.

return to Bolton Crown Court for sentencing. He has been on the run

:07:43.:07:46.

since March 2003, and officers believe he may have led to Ireland.

:07:47.:07:52.

Police believe he may now have grey hair, as this photo was taken 12

:07:53.:07:56.

years ago. Let's see if we can spoil his birthday celebrations.

:07:57.:08:01.

36-year-old David Middleton is wanted for questioning by Met Police

:08:02.:08:04.

in connection with an attack in which a man's year was badly bitten.

:08:05.:08:08.

He has connections to the Barnet and Finchley areas of north London and

:08:09.:08:12.

has four dots tattooed on the knuckles of his left hand. Police

:08:13.:08:15.

say he is known to be violent and should not be approached. Third,

:08:16.:08:21.

Christopher Edward, although he also uses the surnames Edwards and

:08:22.:08:26.

Foster. The 37-year-old was jailed for 30 months for drug supply

:08:27.:08:29.

offences and released early on licence in June 2012, but he has

:08:30.:08:33.

failed to stick to the conditions of his release and is now wanted back

:08:34.:08:37.

in prison. He has a scar on the left side of the space and links to the

:08:38.:08:41.

Lambert and Peckham areas of London, and Hockley in Birmingham. Last up

:08:42.:08:50.

today on the end, Glenn -- Glen Mulkay, who is wanted in connection

:08:51.:08:56.

with an attack on a 19-year-old man. He has an East Anglian accent and

:08:57.:09:00.

Gothic style tattooed on his back and right leg. He has links to the

:09:01.:09:04.

North Weald and hollow areas of Essex, and also to London. If you

:09:05.:09:09.

recognise any of these faces, pick up the phone, call us. Calls are

:09:10.:09:17.

free from most landlines, some network operators will charge. Texts

:09:18.:09:22.

are charged at your standard message rate. Now, back to Sian.

:09:23.:09:29.

Of course, police officers have to be ready for anything, whether it is

:09:30.:09:33.

forcing their way into buildings or catching criminals, so that involves

:09:34.:09:36.

a lot of training in places like these. Yesterday I spent some time

:09:37.:09:42.

carrying out what is known as the bleep test. It is the fitness test

:09:43.:09:46.

that many of the officers have to do, all of them, in fact, at the

:09:47.:09:51.

beginning of basic training. It was a bit of a slow burn, shall we say,

:09:52.:09:56.

but it was good to dust off the trainers and get back into the

:09:57.:10:00.

jogging suit! Reg Martin can tell us about it, it is a very specific test

:10:01.:10:04.

that they are doing now. That is right, it is a 15 metres run, that

:10:05.:10:12.

they will do inside the gym. The turning is important, because it is

:10:13.:10:17.

agility, you always chasing after people around gardens and cars. It

:10:18.:10:21.

gets quick as you go along, so you can judge your aerobic fitness from

:10:22.:10:26.

that. I got to level six on that one, but many of the officers, they

:10:27.:10:32.

have to be on level ten if they are doing very at advanced work. They do

:10:33.:10:35.

have to think very quickly when they are on the move, police officers,

:10:36.:10:39.

and Nick Davies can tell us more about that, some of the decisions

:10:40.:10:44.

they have to take can involve the electronic stun gun, and this is a

:10:45.:10:47.

demonstration you have got going on now. Yes, officers are under

:10:48.:10:52.

pressure and to make fast decisions with regards to use of force and

:10:53.:10:56.

justifying their actions in a heated environment. Talk us through what is

:10:57.:11:01.

happening, shall we get them to do the demonstration? Someone with a

:11:02.:11:04.

baseball bat causes problems, phone calls, officers have to respond to

:11:05.:11:12.

the thread. OK, folks! Put the bat down now! Put the bat down. This is

:11:13.:11:17.

a taser, 50,000 volts coming your way. But the bat down now! Put it on

:11:18.:11:21.

the floor! Do it now! Actually, there she has been

:11:22.:11:31.

tasered. You know what it feels like, don't you? For five seconds it

:11:32.:11:37.

is totally excruciating, and in a high percentage of cases we have

:11:38.:11:40.

seen people totally compliant after that. The effects where off quickly.

:11:41.:11:46.

Thank you very much for that. Back to you, Rav.

:11:47.:11:50.

We all love a bargain, especially when it comes to, but there is a big

:11:51.:11:55.

difference between getting a good deal and buying illegal fakes.

:11:56.:11:58.

Graham Mogg from the anti-counterfeiting group joins me

:11:59.:12:03.

now. You work alongside big companies, so it is important to

:12:04.:12:08.

you, counterfeit goods, some people might just think it is a bit of a

:12:09.:12:12.

bargain. You are hurting a lot of people. The retail sector is

:12:13.:12:19.

struggling with counterfeiting. But it can cause harm, organised crime

:12:20.:12:23.

is involved in counterfeiting, and activity that they can engage with

:12:24.:12:27.

is funded from the sale of counterfeit goods. You have brought

:12:28.:12:31.

in a number, the usual things, clothing, but some that people do

:12:32.:12:35.

not necessarily think about, the safety element, and electrical

:12:36.:12:40.

goods, things like this car wheel, very dangerous to consider. Yes, a

:12:41.:12:45.

whole range of counterfeit goods available now, the electrical goods,

:12:46.:12:49.

automotive parts, throughout a genuine product it is tried and

:12:50.:12:54.

tested for the UK market, but counterfeiters don't worry about

:12:55.:12:57.

that. The potential safety issue from buying these things online is

:12:58.:13:02.

on the increase. Any electrical goods could catch fire if they are

:13:03.:13:07.

trying to use it. But the thought of using a counterfeit wheel on a car,

:13:08.:13:10.

you have a crash, hit the curb, it would crack on the motorway,

:13:11.:13:13.

anything, it should not be entertained. Well, it shouldn't, you

:13:14.:13:19.

should always buy products from a legitimate retailer, and you can

:13:20.:13:24.

identify online through the trading standards Institute and a website

:13:25.:13:29.

that allows you to identify the counterfeit from the genuine. The

:13:30.:13:32.

image of the counterfeit seller has changed, it used to be a Del Boy

:13:33.:13:36.

image, the market trader, back of the lorry sort of thing. But now it

:13:37.:13:42.

is much more hi-tech. Yes, organised crime groups have infiltrated a lot

:13:43.:13:46.

of the counterfeiting activity, and the online trade allows them to make

:13:47.:13:51.

a lot of money from that activity. Very difficult for a consumer to

:13:52.:13:55.

identify a legitimate website from a counterfeit website, so for the

:13:56.:13:58.

criminals involved, they are able to sell products at a far higher price

:13:59.:14:02.

which impacts greatly on the consumer. What can we do to make

:14:03.:14:06.

sure we don't buy the wrong things? It is very difficult. There are

:14:07.:14:12.

websites that you can visit, reporting to the brands themselves,

:14:13.:14:17.

and that is the key to identify the product. If the price is cheap, it

:14:18.:14:22.

is likely to be wrong. Again, that is the best way. If it seems too

:14:23.:14:28.

good to be true, it probably is. You are taking serious action, in the

:14:29.:14:31.

last week, you have shut down a number of websites. That is right,

:14:32.:14:35.

we tackled some social media websites this week and took down

:14:36.:14:40.

just over 2000 individual listings of counterfeit products that were

:14:41.:14:43.

available. Working with the police and trading standards on a daily

:14:44.:14:47.

basis, we are taking down websites that sell counterfeit goods. Thank

:14:48.:14:55.

you very much for joining us. Now, the search for a conman who

:14:56.:15:00.

hoodwinked a 88-year-old grandmother. I think she felt a bit

:15:01.:15:07.

of a fool, humiliated, that she had not seen it coming, but I would not

:15:08.:15:13.

have seen it coming. Doris has lived alone in her Cardiff home since her

:15:14.:15:16.

husband passed away. It is a place she has always felt safe. I was born

:15:17.:15:25.

in this house 89 years I have never lived anywhere else, and I am not

:15:26.:15:31.

likely to, either. Over the decades, generations of her family have

:15:32.:15:36.

called this home. I felt very safe here, and I lived here until I got

:15:37.:15:42.

married at 25. But that sense of security was shattered on a Doris

:15:43.:15:50.

had just been given a lift home from church. She had barely taken her

:15:51.:15:58.

coat off when the door bell rang. I went to the door and this gentleman

:15:59.:16:02.

said, your next door neighbour has got a flood in his kitchen. And he

:16:03.:16:10.

said, it is so bad, I have got to check neighbours' pipes. Doris let

:16:11.:16:17.

him in, showing him the stopcock in the hall. But he said he needed to

:16:18.:16:21.

see under the sink in the kitchen. He said, could you take it all out

:16:22.:16:29.

for me? I have got to go to the tank. I thought to myself, you are

:16:30.:16:35.

no gentleman! Doris struggled to empty the cupboard as the man

:16:36.:16:39.

watched over her. To test for a blockage, he began hitting the

:16:40.:16:43.

pipework under the sink with a spatula before asking Doris to take

:16:44.:16:49.

over. I have had a knee replacement, but I did it. When I said, this is

:16:50.:16:56.

hard work for me, he said, bear with me, he said, it is only for ten

:16:57.:17:02.

minutes. The man turned on the tap and got Doris to continue knocking.

:17:03.:17:07.

He said he had to inspect the pipework elsewhere in the house. In

:17:08.:17:14.

fact, he was while Doris was distracted tapping the pipe, and

:17:15.:17:18.

with the running tap to hide his footsteps, the thief made his way

:17:19.:17:24.

upstairs to her bedroom. I am knocking now and my knee is hurting,

:17:25.:17:30.

and the phone rang. Doris left the kitchen, unaware that upstairs, the

:17:31.:17:33.

fake engineer had already found her most vicious possessions. It was

:17:34.:17:38.

only when she came off the phone at Doris realised the man was nowhere

:17:39.:17:44.

to be seen. I walked into the bedroom. There was a case that I

:17:45.:17:53.

keep things in, money and that. It was all oh, I said, my God, I have

:17:54.:18:01.

been robbed! I always call my husband's name. ?1000 in cash was

:18:02.:18:08.

taken, along with documents and jewellery. The impact it has had on

:18:09.:18:14.

Doris is terrible. She is a very lovely lady, and somebody coming

:18:15.:18:18.

into the privacy of her own home, taking advantage of her trusting

:18:19.:18:26.

nature, it is so sad. One item, her father's gold watch chain, has

:18:27.:18:31.

particular sentimental value. My father wore it everyday. I was it

:18:32.:18:40.

was over 100 years old. I can see him now taking it out and putting it

:18:41.:18:46.

back in his waistcoat pocket. We do think this individual has done it

:18:47.:18:50.

before, we think this individual went out for the purpose of trying

:18:51.:18:54.

to find somebody that they could conduct this kind of distraction

:18:55.:19:02.

burglary against. Since the theft, Doris's daughter says she has seen a

:19:03.:19:07.

marked difference in her mum. Confidence. For instance, when she

:19:08.:19:12.

came in from church after the incident, she did not want to come

:19:13.:19:18.

in on her own. She felt a bit humiliated, that she did not see it

:19:19.:19:21.

coming - but I would not have seen it coming. Imagine if I had gone

:19:22.:19:27.

upstairs and caught him coming he could have beaten me up. I might not

:19:28.:19:36.

have been here today, who knows? And you do really feel for Doris.

:19:37.:19:41.

DCI Tony Brown is investigating this. It was a devious trick on

:19:42.:19:47.

Doris, a lovely lady, you called her, and she had been living in that

:19:48.:19:52.

house for nearly 90 years. As you said, it was a devious trick, he has

:19:53.:19:58.

tricked his way into the house. Who is the man you are looking for? He

:19:59.:20:03.

is described as white, 35-40 years of age, medium build, with short,

:20:04.:20:10.

dark hair. He got away with ?1000 in cash, and also jewellery. One of

:20:11.:20:15.

those items was sentimental value? Yes, it was her late father's watch

:20:16.:20:22.

chain. Massive sentimental value to Doris. And he took them in this very

:20:23.:20:27.

brief case, which actually belonged to her late husband? Yes, indeed. It

:20:28.:20:33.

contained a number of items and documents. This was discarded at the

:20:34.:20:37.

back of the leisure centre the following day by a -- added was

:20:38.:20:44.

found by a passer-by at seven o'clock in the morning the following

:20:45.:20:48.

day. We would appeal to anybody who saw somebody throwing this briefcase

:20:49.:20:54.

away to come forward. Briefly, of course, she was tricked - what could

:20:55.:20:59.

she have done differently? We asked people to make sure that they asked

:21:00.:21:02.

people knocking on the door for their identification. Genuine

:21:03.:21:07.

callers do not mind being left outside while you verify who they

:21:08.:21:11.

are. That is great advice, thank you very much. Now time to take a look

:21:12.:21:18.

at today's CCTV round-up - will you recognise anyone? January 2014. Keep

:21:19.:21:26.

your eye on the two young men walking into this mobile phone shop

:21:27.:21:32.

in Wandsworth, London. They are looking for the latest handset,

:21:33.:21:35.

though paying for it is not their style. They spot a ?450 phone

:21:36.:21:40.

belonging to a staff member which has been left charging at the back

:21:41.:21:46.

of the shop. They swipe it, but the assistant twigs something is up and

:21:47.:21:50.

confronts them. They do not like being rumbled, and as they leave,

:21:51.:21:53.

another assistant tries to stop them. Police say the robber in the

:21:54.:21:58.

blue jacket shows them a knife he is carrying. The assistant immediately

:21:59.:22:04.

backs off and the two men walked out. We cannot let them get away

:22:05.:22:11.

with it. You know what to do. Now, they say that crime sucks. In this

:22:12.:22:15.

case, it could not be more true. A man walks into a Lancashire

:22:16.:22:20.

supermarket in January this year. Look carefully as he takes a ?200

:22:21.:22:25.

vacuum cleaner from the shelf, but instead of paying for it, he walks

:22:26.:22:29.

straight past the checkout and out of the door. Let's take this

:22:30.:22:31.

shoplifter to the cleaners. The burglars in our next crime have

:22:32.:22:42.

a half baked idea to raid this shop in York city centre. They wait

:22:43.:22:47.

outside the bakery until the coast is clear before kicking the door

:22:48.:22:50.

open and searching the place for dough. They give the till the once

:22:51.:22:56.

over, but it is the shop safe they are really after. One of them thinks

:22:57.:23:01.

he knows where it is. Together, they heave it across the bakery, leaving

:23:02.:23:07.

a trail on the floor. Having dragged it to the door, they take a breather

:23:08.:23:12.

outside. One keeps watch while the other gets a trolley they have

:23:13.:23:16.

nicked from a nearby pub. Now, that is using your loaf! They wheel it,

:23:17.:23:24.

and the ?1000 it contains, right out of the shop. You know these two? You

:23:25.:23:31.

know what to do. If you recognise anyone there, get in touch. We are

:23:32.:23:36.

standing by, ready for your calls. Still to come on task I will be

:23:37.:23:41.

getting the low town on how police went through 20 hours of CCTV

:23:42.:23:49.

footage to catch a paedophile. Plus, the schoolgirl mown down by a car on

:23:50.:23:55.

a busy crossing, but do you know who was behind the wheel? Before, I was

:23:56.:24:02.

fine, I was not that scared. Now, after, I am quite scared and shaky.

:24:03.:24:10.

Today, we are finding out just how physical being in the police can be.

:24:11.:24:18.

Let's speak once again to PC Nick Davies. Sometimes you have to get

:24:19.:24:24.

into scenes of crime in that way? Absolutely, sometimes we need a

:24:25.:24:33.

forced entry. What kit do you use? There is a whole raft of equipment,

:24:34.:24:38.

from hydraulic equipment to equipment which we used to cut

:24:39.:24:43.

chains. This is the Enforcer, which has a bit of weight on it!

:24:44.:24:51.

Absolutely, it is pretty heavy! And some of these? This is essentially a

:24:52.:25:00.

fire brigade's rescue tool, which we can use to open fire exits doors and

:25:01.:25:06.

to smash windows. This is one for forcing doors open. And these are

:25:07.:25:16.

some bars for opening windows. It is all about us deciding on a correct

:25:17.:25:21.

method of approach, planning and executing. Everybody who uses this

:25:22.:25:24.

equipment has to be specially trained? Yes. They apply for

:25:25.:25:31.

courses, they have a couple of days training, depending on the nature of

:25:32.:25:36.

the equipment, and then they are operationally prepared. Well, we saw

:25:37.:25:42.

how you could get in through a door just there. For the next

:25:43.:25:45.

demonstration, we have got to put some safety equipment on. Obviously,

:25:46.:25:51.

we will be staying back, because this next one could be pretty

:25:52.:25:57.

dangerous... Yes, on occasion, we may be having a look around the

:25:58.:26:01.

premises, and it might be easier for us to go through the window. We

:26:02.:26:05.

might go through patio windows, and this is a demonstration of that. OK,

:26:06.:26:11.

guys, stand-by. Advanced to your final assault positions... Stand-by,

:26:12.:26:18.

stand-by, stand-by. Strike, strike, strike. Police! Police! So, that is

:26:19.:26:32.

exactly how it is done. All of that flying glass can be dangerous?

:26:33.:26:37.

Absolutely, it is a big health and safety issue, we need to be switched

:26:38.:26:42.

on. We need to effect a positive, professional entry. Thank you very

:26:43.:26:48.

much for that. Come back later, we are going to see a riot!

:26:49.:26:54.

Now, can you help police find a driver who knocked the schoolgirl

:26:55.:26:58.

down just yards from her front door?

:26:59.:27:03.

To see that somebody could do that to a child and just go off... Now, I

:27:04.:27:15.

am quite scared and shaky. It is a journey ten-year-old Summer has made

:27:16.:27:18.

many times from her home to the local shops, are you all her parents

:27:19.:27:28.

considered safe. -- a route her parents considered safe. Early

:27:29.:27:33.

evening on the 6th of May. Summer was on her way back from a shopping

:27:34.:27:41.

trip. But as she made her way home, a dark grey Audi A3 was also heading

:27:42.:27:46.

for the roundabout on the main road. As Summer arrived at the junction,

:27:47.:27:51.

so did the car. She stepped out into the road and was hit. This CCTV

:27:52.:28:01.

captures the moment the grey Audi A3 sent her flying into the air. Summer

:28:02.:28:08.

was able to get up and run across the road. A neighbour rushed to her

:28:09.:28:15.

raid. He helped me to the house, and then I rang the door bell. Mummy and

:28:16.:28:23.

daddy came. She was in tears, and shaking. She just didn't... She was

:28:24.:28:31.

in shock, mainly. She could not remember what was going on. My heart

:28:32.:28:37.

dropped, it did. My heart dropped, and it felt absolutely horrible.

:28:38.:28:42.

Summer suffered cuts and bruises from the collision. At first, the

:28:43.:28:48.

grey Audi A3 's top, but then suddenly drove off. The man

:28:49.:28:58.

disappeared, not even stopping to see what he had done. It does not

:28:59.:29:08.

seem the natural thing to do. You stop and make sure they are OK.

:29:09.:29:14.

Failure to stop at a road traffic collision is a serious matter. It is

:29:15.:29:19.

a requirement of The Road Traffic Act legislation that somebody does

:29:20.:29:27.

stop. South Wales Police have released this CCTV of the car

:29:28.:29:31.

driving away from the scene. It is a gunmetal grey Audi 83. I would

:29:32.:29:36.

appeal to anybody that is able to identify the vehicle, I would even

:29:37.:29:40.

appeal to the driver themselves to come forward and speak to us. That

:29:41.:29:45.

would be an action which would give this family closure. I do not like

:29:46.:29:51.

going out on my own in case another car hits me. She was this bright,

:29:52.:30:00.

bubbly, confident little girl, and now, anywhere near a road, that is

:30:01.:30:05.

it, she is a different child. Before, I was fine, I was not that

:30:06.:30:12.

scared. Now, after, I am quite scared and shaky. I want her to be

:30:13.:30:23.

the old Summer that we know, who was playing about with everybody and

:30:24.:30:29.

getting under our feet. She needs to move forward. Until this man is

:30:30.:30:35.

caught, she and the family, obviously, very shaken by what

:30:36.:30:41.

happened to Summer. Investigating is Inspector Huw Griffiths. The family

:30:42.:30:44.

really want to see an end to this, don't they? Yes, the community

:30:45.:30:54.

require a successful outcome to this. Pretty grainy footage of the

:30:55.:31:00.

moment the car hit Summer, but then some clearer shots. Tell us about

:31:01.:31:05.

the new information you are bad. We are convinced this vehicle is an

:31:06.:31:13.

Audi A3 fitted with a factory sat nav system. It is on an arterial

:31:14.:31:20.

road when it collided with Summer, then it went up Dyfed Road, and it

:31:21.:31:24.

will acquire is local knowledge to go up there. That would provide

:31:25.:31:30.

access to the lower need valleys, local knowledge required to go up

:31:31.:31:35.

that area. So you think the driver might be local, but only a very

:31:36.:31:40.

brief description. Yes, a male, white with stubble. That is it? That

:31:41.:31:48.

is it. If you did see this great Audi, police really need to hear

:31:49.:31:53.

from you as quickly as possible. Here on Crimewatch Roadshow, we are

:31:54.:31:56.

used to seeing crooks caught on camera, but have you thought about

:31:57.:31:59.

what happens when you have a picture of a suspect. One man who knows is

:32:00.:32:06.

DCI Mick Neville from the forensics image team at the Metropolitan

:32:07.:32:12.

Police. What your team does is look through CCTV and piece together a

:32:13.:32:17.

timeline. Yes, an incident happens, like that tragic accident, and

:32:18.:32:23.

people will have to get CCTV from several different locations, so we

:32:24.:32:27.

can start the incident, show what happens during and afterwards so the

:32:28.:32:31.

court and jury can see exactly what has happened. A lot of this is done

:32:32.:32:37.

by volunteers, isn't it? That is right, after the riots we had people

:32:38.:32:40.

coming forward saying, can we help the police? They used their IT

:32:41.:32:46.

skills, and when they are viewing CCTV, that means officers back on

:32:47.:32:49.

patrol or detectives investigating, so it gives us more time to solve

:32:50.:32:54.

and prevent more crimes. You have got a very strong example of just

:32:55.:32:59.

how effective these volunteers can be. This is a case of a paedophile

:33:00.:33:06.

where a man abducted a young girl in a central London venue, very iconic

:33:07.:33:11.

venue, very busy. It needed lots of work on the CCTV to view lots of

:33:12.:33:18.

cameras. We can see that now. This is an extremely busy venue, there

:33:19.:33:21.

are literally thousands of people milling around, but your staff have

:33:22.:33:25.

managed to pinpoint the person you were looking for and followed him

:33:26.:33:30.

through. How did they do that? It is patience, they have to sit there,

:33:31.:33:35.

find the suspect here, find the victim, follow them through and get

:33:36.:33:39.

this so we know where he came in, who else see has assaulted, the

:33:40.:33:43.

actual offence, so it can be played to the jury. Thanks to your team and

:33:44.:33:49.

their diligent work, you got a strong result. He was sentenced to

:33:50.:33:53.

eight years in prison for the child abduction. He also indecently

:33:54.:33:58.

assaulted other women who we are still looking for. There was also

:33:59.:34:02.

another element of technology that assisted in this trial. Of course,

:34:03.:34:07.

when you have got a busy venue like that, you cannot close it down and

:34:08.:34:11.

take all the jury there, because their job is to make money. By doing

:34:12.:34:17.

this, we can show with 3D technology exactly how the venue was laid out,

:34:18.:34:20.

where the victim and the suspect were, the legal teams can see the

:34:21.:34:25.

angles of the CCTV cameras, so we can show the jury what happened.

:34:26.:34:29.

When this case went to court, the court could see this and familiarise

:34:30.:34:33.

themselves with the area without physically going to London. It

:34:34.:34:38.

worked very well. Eight years, great result, thanks very much for joining

:34:39.:34:44.

us. And now to a valleys town where a

:34:45.:34:47.

community officer has rekindled an old hobby to help fight anti-social

:34:48.:34:55.

behaviour. Tonyrefail was once at the heart of

:34:56.:35:00.

the South Wales mining community. But these days jobs are hard to come

:35:01.:35:04.

by, particularly for those growing up here. From young people, there is

:35:05.:35:10.

an all too familiar complaint that there just isn't anything to do. The

:35:11.:35:15.

combination of bored teenagers hanging around on street corners can

:35:16.:35:19.

often lead to low-level anti-social behaviour. But one man is determined

:35:20.:35:27.

to tackle it. Police community support Alan Blackburn. At the

:35:28.:35:36.

town's amateur boxing club, he is encouraging the younger generation

:35:37.:35:39.

to take their boredom into the ring. You do see anti-social behaviour,

:35:40.:35:45.

give them something to do, a bit of self-respect. You see them hanging

:35:46.:35:48.

about on street corners, getting drunk, taking tablets and drugs and

:35:49.:35:54.

stuff like this. You want to help them if you can. It is worth it. And

:35:55.:36:00.

he speaks with the voice of experience. He credits the sport

:36:01.:36:06.

with keeping him on the straight and narrow in his youth. I started

:36:07.:36:12.

boxing when I was about six, I was an international at every age group.

:36:13.:36:20.

I was the British junior champion. He is a real inspiration to the

:36:21.:36:26.

young people who come here. I have been out and about, involved in

:36:27.:36:29.

certain activities, but I stay away from all that stuff now, I am glad

:36:30.:36:33.

of coming year, it keeps you away from that. -- here.

:36:34.:36:41.

And other of the coaches, Gary Davies, worked as a police officer

:36:42.:36:47.

in the town for three decades. -- another. These as the numbers speak

:36:48.:36:52.

for themselves. The most recent statistics I can recall have shown

:36:53.:36:56.

that calls for anti-social behaviour in the town have decreased on the

:36:57.:37:01.

nights that we are open by about 32%. It is not just about fighting

:37:02.:37:07.

boredom. For some of the young boxers, being involved is also a

:37:08.:37:15.

confidence boost. If somebody Exon me, boxing is the best I have had.

:37:16.:37:26.

-- picks on me. You are never too young to put on the gloves. The most

:37:27.:37:31.

junior members are just five years old. Through the discipline of the

:37:32.:37:36.

boxing club, important life lessons are filtering down to a new

:37:37.:37:42.

generation. Tell me why you like coming. It

:37:43.:37:49.

makes me fit. It has given me lots of confidence. It helps you when you

:37:50.:37:53.

are growing up, and if you get into fights, you can go away from them. A

:37:54.:38:00.

really important lesson, don't get involved in trouble - walk away.

:38:01.:38:05.

And back on the streets of Tonyrefail, you can see the positive

:38:06.:38:11.

effects first-hand. You can see the difference in the way they respect

:38:12.:38:15.

and talk to you, and that is not just the children, the people, the

:38:16.:38:21.

local residents, people I have known all my life, really. So it has

:38:22.:38:25.

brought the community together, the boxing club? Without a doubt,

:38:26.:38:31.

without a doubt. Now, police officers have to be

:38:32.:38:35.

ready for absolutely everything, as you can see, including when things

:38:36.:38:40.

turn nasty, and Reg Martin is back with me now to talk about this. What

:38:41.:38:44.

is this training? Basically, we have got urban disorder, we have got

:38:45.:38:50.

shields and protective equipment to try to disperse this crowd and take

:38:51.:38:56.

them away from the area. Again, specialist officers, specialist

:38:57.:38:59.

training, but they come from all parts of the force, don't they? They

:39:00.:39:04.

can have any number of backgrounds, CID, neighbourhood policing, and

:39:05.:39:09.

they will be drawn into three days a year training with a variety of

:39:10.:39:13.

tactics to bring them to a common minimum standard. So they volunteer

:39:14.:39:19.

for this? Yes, they volunteer. Obviously, a very important part of

:39:20.:39:26.

this for forces across the country, but they work together when they

:39:27.:39:30.

need to get officers from different parts of the country. Yes, we call

:39:31.:39:34.

it mutual aid assistance, and if they force has an event that is of

:39:35.:39:38.

such a capacity that they need more officers, we will have mutual aid,

:39:39.:39:43.

so the officers have travelled to London, as well as Northern Ireland

:39:44.:39:50.

to do mutual aid assistance. Talk us through some of the training. They

:39:51.:39:55.

are doing shields tactics, withdrawal, dispersal. They are

:39:56.:39:58.

drawing back now, but they might be sucking them in to push them

:39:59.:40:03.

forward. It is good to keep a crowd on their toes, because they cannot

:40:04.:40:06.

throw blocks as much when they are moving. This is a particular tactic,

:40:07.:40:12.

they are drawing forward now. Let's speak to one of the officers who has

:40:13.:40:17.

been taking part in here, because Sharon is one of the few women

:40:18.:40:21.

officers in the South Wales force who has trained for public order.

:40:22.:40:25.

Sharon, tell us more about what you have done and where you have been

:40:26.:40:33.

with this. Dai -- I have had numerous experiences, working with

:40:34.:40:37.

the PSNI in Northern Ireland, I worked in the top right in the

:40:38.:40:41.

premiership teams now, policing the football week in, week out. I have

:40:42.:40:46.

had lots of opportunities. Why are there so few women doing it?

:40:47.:40:51.

Numerous reasons. This is not compulsory, so it is done in your

:40:52.:40:57.

own time, so people with young families, they value their rest

:40:58.:41:01.

days. The standard of fitness is a bit higher than what you do normally

:41:02.:41:05.

for regular policing, and that can be a bit daunting for some people.

:41:06.:41:09.

But they all go through the same training, would you recommend that

:41:10.:41:13.

women did more of this? Ethnically. I am absolutely in awe of you, a

:41:14.:41:19.

scorching hot day, you are wearing all this kit, plus the shield. It is

:41:20.:41:25.

pretty heavy, we have got some of the kits that we can talk through

:41:26.:41:27.

with you, Sharon, fascinating to know what you have got as part of

:41:28.:41:32.

that. What are these? Basically, that is a thigh guard, you wear

:41:33.:41:39.

those on the top of your legs. There is the undergarment, then the lower

:41:40.:41:42.

leg guards that we wear on the lower half to protect us from missiles

:41:43.:41:46.

that are thrown. And the best as well, all really heavy, the body

:41:47.:41:51.

armour. Thanks for taking us through that. Fascinating insight. Thank you

:41:52.:41:57.

very much. What can I say? It has been an amazing demonstration, Rav,

:41:58.:42:02.

back to you. We have had some good information on

:42:03.:42:05.

the armed robbery we showed you at the jeweller's in south Wales,

:42:06.:42:08.

police are chasing some strongly as we speak. Also, a potential lead on

:42:09.:42:20.

the CCTV of a robbery at a phone shop in ones within London. And

:42:21.:42:38.

police say they are following up new leads after we showed you yesterday

:42:39.:42:45.

how an 81-year-old lady was robbed in her own home by men posing as

:42:46.:42:49.

police officers. Keep your information coming in, it does make

:42:50.:42:53.

a difference. Where will you be tomorrow?

:42:54.:42:56.

Tomorrow at his planes, trains and automobiles, helicopters, boats and

:42:57.:43:00.

mobile police stations. -- it is. We are heading to the beautiful Gower

:43:01.:43:04.

peninsula to follow South Wales police as they help holiday-makers,

:43:05.:43:06.

and we will be following an operation trying to catch the rogue

:43:07.:43:08.

traders, and in that we really saw that the officers got a lot more

:43:09.:43:11.

than they bargained for. There will be more fraudsters caught

:43:12.:43:18.

any act on BBC One in an hour, stay tuned for Claimed And Shamed. For

:43:19.:43:23.

more details on today's programme, go to the website. Finally, a last

:43:24.:43:25.

look at the wanted faces, call us if you know where they are. Thank you

:43:26.:43:27.

for watching, we'll see you, bye-bye!

:43:28.:43:32.
