Episode 1 Crimewatch Roadshow

Criminals behind bars! I am travelling the length and breadth I

am finding out how police forces are tackling crime where you live. I

will be in the studio asking for your help to solve the everyday

crimes which affect us all. Things to your calls, last year we helped

catch serious criminals, people wanted for armed robbery, rape and

fraud. Nearly 50 of them altogether. And I reckon we can do even better

this year. It's time to catch some crooks. This is Crimewatch Roadshow.

Hello and welcome to day one of this summer's Crimewatch Roadshow. We

will be live every weekday morning investigating crimes across the UK.

The phone lines are already open. Here is what is coming up. Lift the

debt on Boxing Day. Was ageing the victim of a hit-and-run or a

sickening beating? My oldest son Ashley went down and rang home to

say, you had better come down, because it's quite serious. We meet

the latest victims of Britain's most prolific cat burglar. Do you know

the man wanted for stealing millions of pounds worth of cash and

valuables during a 12 year crime spree? I talked to my friends and

everybody knows somebody who knows a brief has been burgled. Over the

next four weeks, Michelle Ackerley will be reporting live from across

the UK with exclusive behind-the-scenes access to police

operations and she is starting her road trip in East Mosley in Surrey.

Great to have you on board. It's great to be back, and what a place I

am at today. This is where the Met trade train their horses. This elite

unit has got it all and they will be showing me what it takes to be part

of the team. How's that for the start of the new series? Not bad!

Lets get on with the first appeal of the series. Opening our doors to

sign for deliveries is something we all do without thinking twice. But

one woman is now petrified of hearing a knock on the door after

two bogus careers came calling. Be warned, this is a particularly nasty

case stop Comic Relief. You are thinking about everything when you

were at home. You will easily distracted, permanently sticking

your doors, your windows. -- permanently checking your doors.

You're not the same after something like that happens life changing.

Joanne and husband Steve have been happily married for 25 years. They

live in Feltham with their two children and for John Laing, home

and family is everything. She's just a lovely woman. She has always been

a housewife said she has been with me. Brought up by the Tredwell, best

wife in the world. -- put up my children well. In April this year,

with the rest of my family out the day, John van that was home alone.

Workup, made myself some breakfast, let the dogs out as usual. I was in

the living room, messing around on the iPad. And there was a knock on

the door. I went to the front window, peep through, and I saw a

man in a yellow hi viz vest. I called out, who is it? He said

delivery, so I stopped for a minute, he knocked again. I opened the door,

and his foot went in. Big mistake. Once in the house, the men pushed

Joanne to the floor. There was tape around my mouth, my hands. The first

man put his hand around my neck and started to strangle me.

And then as the second man went up the steps, saw a hammer in his

hands, a hit me on the head. He hit me ahead on the other side of the

head. He kicked me in the forehead. It quickly became clear what the men

were after. I told him where the safe was. He couldn't open it so I

had to go and open it. Once the safe was opened, the men took the ?27,000

from inside, but things didn't end there. I said, I think I'm dying.

They then put the tape around my ankles, and got what I thought was a

gun, put it to my neck and said if I tell, they're coming back from me.

And with that, they were gone. These two suspects have committed a

truly awful crime against an innocent woman, she's her life

changed forever. CCTV shows the men calmly walking down representative

before the attack, one of them wearing a UPS uniform. We do not

believe this was a legitimate UPS employee, the system and who had

access to a common means the and are using it to the their way into

houses. -- access to the U. If we don't catch them, it won't be the

last time they commit offences like this so I appeal to anyone who knows

these two to please get in touch with us. Just horrendous. Absolutely

horrendous. Your worst nightmare. You can't leave it happening to you.

Your mind is doing overtime, who could it be? You can't work it out.

My life flashed before my eyes, and I know what it means now on people

say that. It really is terrifying, DC James Dickson-Leach is leading

the investigation into this case. Clearly a horrifying ordeal for

Joanne, what were the extent of her injuries? She received several blows

to the head with a hammer or a kick, anyone could have been fatal,

fortunately she has escaped long-lasting physical injuries but

this political effects have been life changing. Tell us more about

the suspect, we can see them on CCTV. They had been in the area of

referee from about 10:30am until just afternoon, -- the area of road

macro. They were wearing distinctive clothing? One of them was wearing a

high viz vest, the other woman wearing elliptical real UPS uniform,

we don't believe they are real employee, they are using it to

commit crime. We have traced them so far, they left the road on foot,

before coming back and then heading north.

Steve and Joanne don't keep any money in the house any more, tell us

more about what was told? A large amount of cash were just under

?30,000, the vast majority was in ?50 notes, we are appealing for

anyone who may have coming into a large amount of money, ?50 note

especially, at that time, or anybody who can trace these two getting into

a vehicle or a house on the day of the offence. Thanks very much. Do

take another look here. Because someone must know who these men are.

If you do, please get in touch using the numbers on screen. Tennis fans

will know the French Open finished yesterday, with a loss for Andy

Murray. Hopefully he can do better at Wimbledon, but he might want to

look up his silverware, because a notorious bug with the Wimbledon

crown is still at large. We will reveal a surprising development but

first, a close look at what this crook has been up to. The SWT

postcode is famous for its tennis Championships. It's also home to the

rich and famous and their multi-million pound properties. But

in recent years, this affluent area has become famous for a different

reason. It is the hunting ground of the country's most prolific cat

burglar. He moves like a shadow, always works alone on strikes in the

dead of night. The man nicknamed the Wimbledon prowler has been linked to

over 240 burglaries, and police think he may actually have struck

over 400 times. Only a handful of people have ever come face-to-face

with him. First time I noticed was two years ago, I heard the kitchen

door being opened so I got up and shouted, and he left. Didn't take

anything apart from some cash. Then just before Christmas, my daughter

noticed her ring had gone and I noticed all the Euros, the

banknotes, had gone. Then we start looking, I opened my husband's draw,

and the cuff links, which were given to him by his father and

grandfather, had gone. The prowler first struck in 2004 and has evaded

detection for over 12 years. He even out one former footballer Nicolas

Anelka, who chased him from his Wimbledon home two years ago. He is

meticulous, often visiting a property to stick it out before

returning to steal a few small pieces which won't be missed --

state it out. It was about half past two in the morning, and I was awake,

so I came downstairs to get a drink of water, and as I got to the bottom

of the stairs, noticed a flash of torchlight. There was this man

standing in the lounge. I rode at him and he ran off out of the French

windows, and on this occasion, I had left an envelope with cash on the

desk, that was the thing that was missing. The prowler has targeted

some high profile properties, including the family home of tennis

legend Boris Becker. Not only do to switch on all the alarms, to leave

lights on in the house, I can't enjoy my living room because it's

connected to the garden, where he has jumped over a few times, our

freedom has been taken away and I would do anything to protect my

family but I am a skinny little woman, there's not a lot I can do!

The prowler sometimes takes a few quid but here he throws a safer than

what is thought to contain ?100,000 worth of cash and jewellery out of

the window before he casually exit up off the lawn and leaves. It is

thought that in total he has stolen over ?10 million worth of property

from this small area of south-west London. I talked to my friends and

everybody knows somebody who has been burgled, often more than once,

two, three, four occasions, sometimes not being sure that they

have been burgled or not, just having a sense that something is

missing. As yet, not a single stolen item has ever been recovered.

Could money, this burglar is clearly very prolific but you think you may

have struck up a 400 times -- good morning. That is a staggering

amount. He often lies low for months at a time, but he will commit up to

three offences in a day. Over the last year there have been

approximately 30 offences in a distinctive and tight geographic

area. What do we know about him? Winner strikes in the Wimbledon

area, this is all around the Wimbledon Village area, close

together, but what do we know about the man himself? He's a white male,

probably right-handed, a very competent person. He appears to get

a thrill out of targeting the same properties up to half a dozen times.

He's agile, very athletic. He often wears dark clothing and he can often

be seen wearing this distinctive fisherman style hat. He has been

seen wearing this a few times. This is similar, as you say it's safe

fisherman style hat, distinctive. There is a new element to the case

you can reveal? As well as the jewellery, we've designer dresses

taken, some expensive jackets, one line of enquiry is could this be

consistent with him being in a relationship, passing those items

onto that person? There are going to be people that live in the area that

are a bit concerned over 12 years, this person hasn't been caught as

yet, you want to put their mind at rest that you are doing everything

to catch this man. We went to the perceived as criminal, we have done

some really thorough analysis, we have... It is a relatively low crime

area. We just need the vital lead from a member of the public now to

bring him to justice and he cannot be invisible, there is a lot of

stolen property that has gone missing. Thank you.

Please get in touch using the numbers on screen if you have any

information about this elusive thief. Still to come this morning:

Family's agony as their son is left for dead in the road, but how did

Aidan get there? His devastated family need to know to talk speaking

for my wife as well, we were just literally none.

And I will be finding out how this gadget could help stop future terror

attacks. But first, we're back with the Met's

mounted unit here in Surrey. I've slipped away to the stables. This is

Bielby. Officers and horses have been training his and 1920 and many

of the crowd control tactics used by mounted units across the world today

were first pioneered right here. Later, we're going to be putting

them to the test in a staged riot but first, let's go behind the

scenes and take a look at the type of work they do when they are fully

trained. The mounted branch of the

Metropolitan police has been riding high for years are doing their bit

to keep the streets of London safe. My jaw handbags! I'm going to have

to arrest you! Leave your bag! You are horse. How can you not be a fan?

The unit is made above 150 officers and 120 horses and their role ranges

from crowd control to ceremonial duties. Keep moving, please, ladies

and gents. But no matter what they are doing, the bond between officer

and horse is all-important. You become the best of mates, really. He

looks after me and I look after him. We work as a team. Today, PCs

Nesbitt and Wolf and Dell are off to the football, along with Horatio and

Gladstone. While PCs Cornish and Jones are policing the changing of

the guard at Buckingham Palace. Throughout the summer, this

colourful ceremony attracts millions of visitors and it is down to

officers from the mounted unit to make sure everyone is safe. We will

go straight down to Buckingham Palace and just have a quick look at

the crowd, just to make sure that everything looks OK, not anyone

suspicious. An announcement over the radio soon put them on high alert.

All units on guard change. Attention has been drawn to a pale skinned

male walking down through Buckingham Palace taking pictures of guards,

positions. I don't know what his intentions are so that is one thing

we can look out for. The PCs quickly make their way to the palace but

will they spot their target amongst the crowds? Keep moving, please,

ladies and gents. You can't wait there. Keep moving, please. Across

London, the unit are also on their guard at the football. It is the

last game of the season at Loftus Road, where QPR are taking on

Bristol is a did. This is quite an old school ground because it is

still in the middle of a housing estate, really, so a bit of a

challenge to police, sometimes. The officers are stationed outside a pub

that's popular with fans and could potentially be a flash point for

trouble. A lot of the way clubs come down to the ground and they attempt

to what we call take the pub, so they will attempt to try and get

into the pub and take over it. With kick-off approaching, a message

comes through that large group of Bristol city supporters are on their

way to the ground and will soon be passing the pub. All it will take

will be one person to say one thing to somebody walking past and then

that's the touch paper lit and that's it, it can just turn. Upon

their horses, the officers have a much better view of what's going on

in front of them. There is a giant banana coming our way! But they also

rely on their horses to watch their backs. Sometimes we will feel the

horse almost underneath us start to react to something that we may not

be seeing. It could be a volatile crowd coming round the corner that

we haven't seen. It might be behind us. So they are good indication to

us sometimes that something is going on that we haven't actually picked

on yet. Horatio and Gladstone seem calm for now but they won't be of

duty until well after the final whistle has blamed. -- blown. Keep

moving. You can't wait there. Back at Buckingham Palace, the officers

are still on the hunt for the man who was seen acting suspiciously

during the changing of the guard. Ladies and gents, keep moving along

for me, please, thank you. As it is, he has been found. There has been

nothing over the radio but it is something that we will bear in mind

for guard changes for the next couple of weeks. The crowd is

getting bigger by the minute, which gives the mounted unit other

problems to deal with. There are thieves and pickpockets around here,

so just be very careful, OK? Guys, that way. Command, please. I'm

trying to be polite here. Can you move back please? That is not moving

back, that's putting your head to the side. The most important job is

safe to last, escorting the guards back to their barracks. The day has

gone really well. No incidents, no missing kids. It is about learning

the crowd dynamics because you got to know how the crowd moves and

works to be able to control it, so not everyone here is here to be

disruptive or be a pain, they are just having a nice day out. While

the day is over for some of the unit, there is still work to do over

at the football, whether final whistle has gone. -- where the final

whistle for state got we got a message that some missiles were

being thrown at the pitch. And from their saddles they can get a good

look at the spectators leaving the ground. Hopefully they will disperse

quickly, no problems, then we can get back. Thankfully, the fans seem

in good spirits as they head home, which gives Horatio and Gladstone

ideas. They know what we are doing and they know they've stood here for

a while and the crowds have gone. Its home time. They're going, we

want to get going, to. But before they clock off, there is one last

bit of crowd control. Oh, no! We are going to give the Tiger a wide

berth! Chief Inspector Helen O'Sullivan, who is in charge of the

mounted branch, joins me now. We saw in the film a relatively quiet day

for you guys, not too much trouble. But it isn't always the case, is a?

Sadly, it isn't always the case. Generally it is but every now and

again, a small minority of people come to our events intent on causing

violence and destruction to our community and that's when you see

our horses coming into their own. We got a training depot alongside us.

Talk me through what happening. This is the remote session, the remotes

are our young, baby horses in initial training. This is what they

see in the street day-to-day. We are going to put them in a nice, fun

environment and build it up so they are doing more news and build it up

so they are doing more nuisance training. Balls being thrown at

them, flags, and a lot of noise because this is what goes on

day-to-day in London. Do they enjoy this? Absolutely. This is fun time

for these horses. They are getting used to the flags. The mount is full

of flags at the moment so all of our officers need to how to deal with

flags. It is amazing to see. You have tennis balls flying, footballs,

flags waving. It is a pretty intense situations these horses. It is, and

that is what they content with day-to-day, people playing football,

kicking footballs at them, so they need to get used to the sounds and

this is a good environment for them to learn that. You saw them standing

still. They need to do that in a training environment. Rav, if you

thought that was impressive, Johnny later because I'll be showing you

something even more special. -- joined me later.

As we often see on this programme, the police are always using new

tools and technologies to help in the fight against crime. After major

attacks in Paris and Brussels, the fight against terror is at the

forefront of British policing. One University team believes it has

invented a device which could save lives by detecting explosive

residue. Professor John Tyra is a member of the Loughborough

University team at is here with this impressive bit of kit. Thank you for

joining us. Great looking bit of kit but it wasn't easy or quick to make.

It took 15 years to make. Tell me what it is and what it does. What we

have as a development of a laser camera, a laser imaging system, that

we've produced to actually see little specks of expose of residue

on you, and your skin, and your clothing, on your baggage or on your

vehicle. We are going to put it to the test so what are we going to do?

I've got some Semtex here. That is a tiny, tiny amount that you got in

between your fingers, probably the size of a little bit of a

fingernail. These are some of the spaces that we use. These are real

explosives. That is Semtex. These are real explosives and you got a

very small amount that you just handed to us. I can confirm I cannot

see a thing on your finger and you going to bring in your assistant now

to test the machine. I'm going to warn you, there are some flashing

lights on here so do be warned before we do it. What are we going

to do now? Here is Daniel. He is wearing a T-shirt. If I show you

that there is the explosives on my finger. We will get this up on the

screen behind you. The green circle, John, what's that? The system is

automatically detecting my fingerprint and explosives and as

you can see, it's lit up the red box, which shows that the system has

automatically detected that it has found some very small traces of

explosives on my finger, so now if I touched Daniel's T-shirt in various

places... And I cannot see a thing. That T-shirt looks crystal white to

me but what is the machine doing now? Now what you can see is, the

system is automatically finding the fingerprints of explosives actually

on the T-shirt, live, and it is alerting, so we could be in forming

an operator that he's got some contamination. And these things that

are completely invisible the naked eye. How come the security and

police teams use this? We could put them into the door frames as an

entrance to a terminal or a sports arena of facility, so as people are

coming in, we can scan them automatically and determine if

they've got any explosives on them. That way, we stop the problem before

they can cause problems. A brilliant bit of kit. I know you are trialling

at the moment and it is all about prevention being better than cure.

Thank you both for joining us. Next, we have the first of this series'

round-ups of crimes caught on CCTV. Watch carefully and let us know if

you recognise anyone but be warned, one of them is pretty nasty.

An elderly lady is doing her weekly shop at a supermarket on London

Road, Guildford. As she looks for something in the freezer section, a

man in blue jeans and a black padded jacket notices something. He's

spotted a purse in her coat pocket. There are lots of people close by

but that doesn't stop him. It seems he's checking to see how much she

will notice. She browses the other side of the aisle and he swoops in.

This purse pincher managed to steal this woman's weekly pension. But

this lowlife can't get away with it. Who is he?

It is lunchtime in August 2014 and a shop owner is paying in the takings

at this bank in Shepton Mallet. As she chats, a man walks in, armed

with a knife. You can see it clearly here. He holds a knife to her

throat, demanding the bank give him money. But this robber is in a rush,

shouting at the cashier that it is taking too long. He flees the bank

empty-handed. He may have failed to get his hands on any cash but he

terrified the customer and staff. Who is he?

A man in a hat and glasses enters a new Leroy Fer Bisht hotel in

Watford. He bypasses reception and heads straight for the rooms. --

newly refurbished hotel. It seems he can't find the right level. He

starts on the third floor and goes down to second. What is he up to?

The man creeps down the corridor. Maybe he's found what he's been

searching for. If you look closely, you can see he's holding a bottle

but it's not water in there. He starts a fire outside one of the

rooms. He runs away but his sense of direction fails him again and he

ends up in the basement. When all the guests head for the exit, low

and behold, he has finally found his way out, but this time without his

hat and glasses. This could have been really serious but thankfully,

nobody was hurt. Take a good look at him again. Someone must know who he

is. If you know any of that lot, get on

the phone now. Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones, or you

can text us. Texts will be charged at your standard message rate. Plus

there is e-mail, to. Let's go back to Michelle in Surrey. Thanks, Rav.

Many of us like to let our hair down with family and friends during the

festive season but Surrey Police are now asking for your help after

Boxing Day drink in Farnham in tragedy.

Aidan is 20, happy, confident, works hard, he will be up and out through

six o'clock in the morning, possibly don't get home until six o'clock at

night. On Boxing Day last year, Aidan was enjoying a festive drink

with friends at Hale and Heath Working Men's Club in Farnham. He

said he was going out for an hour or two. He text to me about five

o'clock saying he was on his way home. Obviously, stayed out a bit

longer. It was just after 7:20pm when Aidan said goodbye to his

friends. Carrying a crate of beer, he left for home, where he was due

to spend the evening with his family. But he never made it.

Three minutes after he left the club, a man on his way to work found

him lying in the road. Just metres from the club's entrance. Ambulance

Service, where as they help required?

My older son Ashley went down and run home to say, you had better come

down, ... Because it's quite serious. Aidan had suffered massive

head injuries and was rushed to hospital. His life hung in the

balance. He had broken to all three vertebrae in his neck, and one of

his brain stems had been stamped the progress snapped. He was in an

induced coma, they kept him in for about 24 hours. He was in a natural

coma, in the intensive care. Although people at the scene assumed

Aidan had been hit by a car, how he actually sustained his injuries that

night is a mystery. His family don't know if he was the victim of a

hit-and-run or something even more sinister. I think of speaking for my

wife as well, we were just literally number. I would find myself just

standing at the window. Standing at the window, just staring

into space. It's horrible. After spending three months in a

coma, Aidan finally woke up. He spoke to me for the first time, 12

weeks ago on a Friday, when his mum visited him. My phone rang, and when

I picked it up and said hello, Aidan just said hello back. If I'm honest,

I just stood and cried. Bearing in mind we were told, going back to the

initial accident, that we were to prepare for the worst, but him to

come back for was... Well, excellent, really. Although Aidan is

doing better, his road to recovery will be a long one. He isn't due to

leave hospital until at least Christmas this year and even then he

will have a lot of rehabilitation ahead of him. He will never make a

full recovery but we're just hoping that he will make the best recovery

he can to try and live a normal life.

Obviously somebody knows something, and I would really appeal to

anybody, if they have got a conscience, that they would come

forward and enlighten us as to what happened, really.

DS Tim Hadfield is with me. This case isn't straightforward. There

are couple of theories as to what could have happened with Aidan? This

is a tragic incident when a popular young man has received life changing

injuries. His injuries were the result of a high impact, that could

be the result of them are or a road traffic collision. Three minutes

passed from one Villa left club when he was found only in those three

minutes, nine Beatles past him, how important is it to your

investigation that he can speak to either the assiduous drivers? It is

vitally important we trace the people inside those vehicles. We

would like people to come forward and contact us because they can't

help us with enquiries, we would like anybody who has information to

help us find out how these injuries were caused. If you do have any

answers for Aidan or his family, please do get in touch with us. Now

it's time to look at our first batch of wanted faces.

Police forces around the country are asking for your

Monday on this year's Crimewatch Roadshow government is to get the

biggest fraud affecting people across the UK. And first up we are

looking at so-called romance fraudsters. Last year alone, UK

victims lost a massive ?27 million in total, around ten grand each. I'm

pleased to welcome my guests here, Linda was targeted online and is

hoping to share her story in the hope others don't become victims.

Linda, what happened to you? I joined a dating agency online in

2013 and I met this guy, he said he worked on an oil rig in the North

Sea. After about a month he suggested that we invested in oil. I

was a bit shocked and asked him if he was a scam, of course is that no

and he persuaded me so I gave him the money. This carried on for

various reasons, for a year. How did that make you feel when you realise

what had happened? I was totally gutted, I felt sick and foolish. It

was like he put a spell on me. And I just would love to look in the eye

and tell him how I feel and how other feel as well. What are the

common themes, what do people do and how do they come people out of their

money? We see that these fraudsters often claimed to have successful

careers so they may pose as a director at a bank or an investment

firm or more commonly, posing to be in the military, based overseas.

They will be really keen to take communication off-line as quickly as

possible, the text and personal e-mails, that is when they will

start asking for money, they may say they have lost their wallet and need

urgent funds to cover a hotel bill or a flight or medical treatment for

themselves or family member, or as have seen from Linda, to invest in

what is effectively a scam. What advice can you give people to avoid

being scammed? As soon as people start asking for money, those alarm

bells need to start ringing. Also to think carefully about the financial

and personal information you are putting out there, certainly never

give your personal financial details. If you suspect anything

untoward, break off that contact immediately, reported to the chat

room operator, dating website, and the police. Thank you both for

joining us today. Katie, you are back on Monday with news of the

latest holiday scams to watch out for. For now, let's go back out to

Michelle in Surrey. Thanks, you may have noticed we are standing roll

back for this demonstration, I am joined again by Helen O'Sullivan of

the mounted branch. What are we watching here? We are watching the

display team, some new courses wanted to join the team, we are

teaching them the paces to get them ready for an event. We have some

established authors but some brand-new horses, the second to last

it hasn't even made it onto the streets yet. They are going so fast,

I can feel the wind! Why are they doing this display now? This is

important, it demonstrates teamwork which is an essential part of

policing, and shows crossover, inch perfect timing, it shows the bond

between horses and rider, they have to get this right. How does this

replicate what might be happening on the streets? They need to be able to

work well as a team and get used to fire, we do sometimes see fire on

the streets, wood burning buildings, cars, sometimes people throw things

at us which are alight. Again, doing crossovers, so teamwork, the bond is

essential, that they this right. They literally jumping through fire,

is it safe? It's totally safe, that's why we practice it from such

a young age. This is part of the training of all our young horses,

here and at other centres, it's a good, fun environment. If they meet

it on the street, they will think, school time, playtime, it's OK. And

the pressure between the rider and horse is really important. How long

do they spend with them generally? For a display like this, they come

in two weeks before, do about an hour day, practising this and then
