Hello and welcome to Crimewatch Roadshow.

And as always, we need your help to solve the crimes happening

The Good Samaritan who tried to help an injured man on a night out,

By that time I'd realised what had happened,

like the pain was terrible and I couldn't open my left eye.

And the delivery drivers going the extra mile to protect

You can't be too careful who you have in.

Today we're with West Midlands Police and Michelle

is in Birmingham city centre with some musical guests.

This talented lot are West Midlands Police brass band -

we'll be enjoying some of their music later.

Now Birmingham is the second biggest city in the UK - so keeping

We'll be looking at some of the latest cheeky scams

And finding out how officers police a giant party with 50,000

But first, to the father and son whose brave decision

to confront a gang of burglars ended in disaster.

In a he out of 100 burglaries were let in. Unfortunately for us, we got

the 101. -- my experience as a police officer tells me that 99 out

of 100 burglaries were let in. David Bywater lives with his wife and son

in Blyth. It is a very nice area to live. We have lived here for 25

years. I would not want to live anywhere else. Everyone is friendly.

It is a nice place to live. But one evening back in January, David

noticed something suspicious in a neighbour's house across the road. I

decided it was time to put the dustbin out for the lady across the

road who was currently in a care home. I noticed that the main

bedroom light was on, and because there is no one living in the house,

that was unusual. I decided to come by Kim and I shouted on my son to

come over with me in case there was something wrong. My dad said, I

don't know if somebody is in Mrs Hall's house. I said, all right.

Halfway across the road, the living room light came on and we noticed

two figures move from one side of the room to the other. With that, my

dad shouted to my mum, ring the police, there are people in the

house. As David and Paul Cross the road, two men came out of the house.

One headed down the street but the other confronted them. He was

shouting really loud, being very abusive. At that stage, I saw that

he had something very shiny, about two foot long in his right hand.

Basically, he said, I am going to kill you. He swung the metal bar.

And it struck the left side of my face. I tried to take the bar of

him, because he was hitting my dad, and he went to hit me in the head. I

put out my arm and he struck me on my arm. It hurt. It was obvious that

it was metal at that point and he was serious. There were a few blows

exchanged between us both, him hitting me and me trying to stop

him. He was like an animal. As the man lashed out, the situation took

an even more terrifying turn. I heard a car engine revving up, and a

silver coloured range Rover came as flying down the street. The car

swerved and drove straight towards David and Paul. My dad managed to

jump back as the car hit the curb and then it revved aggressively and

loudly and shot off. But the attack was far from over. That is when he

became almost frenzied. Swinging at me and my dad. When the getaway car

came back around the block, the beating finally stopped. And the

gang made their escape. I realise that the left side of my face was

covered in blood. Paul's right-hand side of his face was covered in

blood as well. You know you are injured and you know your body and

your face hurts. But to actually see the blood, that is when the shock

sets in. As well as head injuries, Paul also suffered a broken arm. I

still have pain in my arm. There is possibility I might need surgery to

correct the nerve damage if it can be corrected. Although both of us

were injured and we were injured quite badly, it could have been an

awful lot more serious and I think that is the thing that played on my

mind. It does actually affect you quite profoundly. These people do

not care. They will hit you, Picchu, leave you for dead if they can.

Everyday life, going to work, it can lead to something that could have

quite easily ended two people's lives. And it made me realise that

you have to enjoy your life because it can be over in a second.

I'm joined by DC Scott Dickenson from Nottinghamshire Police.

Scott, this was a brutal attack on two men who were just trying

They were keeping an eye on the house for an elderly

neighbour and were just trying to do the right thing when they saw

They could not have predicted it would end in such horrific violence.

Tell us about the weapon you think the burglar used

It was a metal bar, similar to a pipe wrench,

about two foot long and they said it was made of shiny metal.

And what do you know about this gang?

We know there were three men involved in this attempted burglary.

The man who attacked David and Paul was white, in his early 20s -

There was a second, smaller man who didn't get involved

in the assault and the driver of the Land Rover, a white man

And you've got the details of that vehicle haven't you?

Yes, it was a Silver Landrover Discovery 2011 model,

and it was caught on camera as it drove through the village.

It is still outstanding. And you believe the same gang are links to

other crimes? That's right, there were two other

crimes committed on the same day which we believe this gang

was responsible for. The same vehicle was used

in a robbery in Pinxton, Derbyshire, which is about 30 miles

from Blyth, at around Then between 6pm and 6.30pm

it was used again in a burglary in Styrrup, Nottinghamshire,

just a few miles away from Blyth. Less than an hour later, the attack

on David and Paul took place. This is obviously a prolific gang

and they need to be caught. As we saw in the film, this has

really affected David and Paul. Definitely. And they are lucky that

their injuries are not more serious. Please do get in touch on the

numbers on screen if you can help. Next, time for today's round up

of criminals caught in the act. And just so you know a couple

of these cases are pretty nasty. It is the early hours of a Sunday

morning and this lot look like they are on their way home from a night

out. Three men have surrounded a passenger. Police say that the

conversation is friendly at first but then things start to get a

little bit pushy. One of the men takes the other side to have a chat,

but not for long. Punches start raining down on the passenger. The

three men then leave him face on a bus seat and go downstairs. The

victim is left covered in blood. But it is not over. One of the men has

forgotten his jacket, so comes back up to the top deck. They do not

leave again without giving him another beating. This time he is

left unconscious on the floor. Who is this trio of top deck terrors?

Call us now. Inside a building society in Runcorn

and look closely at the man in the hat. He immediately pulls a gun out

of the waistband of his trousers and point it at a terrified worker.

Money money, he then moves to the next cashier and then the next.

Stashing more cash than he can carry. He then walks out, calm as

you like, with ?6,000 of loot. It is hard to see his face but someone

knows who this gun-wielding bank robber is. Name, please. This quiet

shop in Greater Manchester is about to become anything but peaceful. Two

hooded men burst in and immediately launched a vicious attack on the

shopkeeper, who tries to defend himself and his takings. Look

closely. Police believe that this is a machete hidden inside a sports

sock. The other robber also attacks the shopkeeper but his disguise

slips. He eventually manages to get into the till and, ignoring the

injured owner, also helps himself to cigarettes. Happy with their loot,

they make their getaway. The shopkeeper suffered a cut to his

head in the attack so severe that he had to have surgery. Who are these

lowlife thieves? Calls are free from landlines

Birmingham city centre. And most of us when we're out

and about are extra careful But with me here this morning is DCI

Ian Bamber, with worrying news of the latest scam sweeping

the streets of the West Midlands. It's a jewellery scam which takes

place on the pavement alongside a road and mainly targeting

elderly people for their And you've actually got CCTV

of a gang in action. This is footage caught on camera

on the 8th of March in West As you can see, the elderly woman

is walking along the street and a blue Ford Focus pulls up

alongside her to ask directions. As soon as she's given

the directions, two women get out of the car thanking her

profusely for her help. You can see they're hugging her,

clasping her wrists and even putting But at the same time they're also

removing the victim's It's very clear footage,

someone must recognise these women? We also know the registration

of the blue Ford Focus - It is a common model of car

but this one was distinctive And you think it's going on across

the West Midlands, don't you? Yes, we initially had just a few

reports of what we believed But within the last three months

we've now had more than 30 almost It's not yet clear whether it's

all the same gang or multiple gangs But either way, we really

want to catch the people responsible and to warn people to be

on their guard against How can people better protect

themselves? In relation to the victims we see, obviously you want

to wear your jewellery but where it discreetly in public. If someone

approaches you that you do not know, and starts to hug you or pat you,

give yourself some space and back off. Let's take a look at these

women again. If you have any information, get in touch. The

numbers are on your screen and the details will be there throughout the

programme, so please contact us. Now just this weekend,

London welcomed tens of thousands of people for its annual

Pride event. But the celebrations were also

punctuated with sadness, as people reflected on the mass

shooting at a gay nightclub The Pride events happening

around the UK this summer and Birmingham's two-day

festival was no exception. Gay Bride is one of Birmingham's

busiest events, attracting more than 150,000 visitors. In the two decades

it's been running, the quest for equality has always been its aim. In

almost 90 countries across the world, it is still illegal to be

gay, so although Birmingham Pride has become a mainstream festival

that is very inclusive in our city, it is still important to send out

that message that we are still struggling for equality. West

Midlands Police say tackling hate crime is a high-priority. I think it

always will be an issue because there are a minority of people that,

for whatever reason, don't like other people because of the

differences between them and that's a sad reality of life, and all we

can do is try and make sure that we can make an environment that is safe

for people, that they can enjoy, free from that sort of intolerance

and abuse. Today, Carl Marshall and his choir are enjoying the Pride

celebrations. But earlier this year, Carl and his partner were the

targets of a nasty, homophobic incident.

We'd just had a nice meal, we'd had an afternoon in the town, pottering

about and shopping, and we were just starting to make our way back to the

car. We were leaving Grand Central in Birmingham. We came down the

grand staircase at the back towards Station Street and we were walking

down hand-in-hand and talking and laughing. As they made their way

down the steps, a man barged aggressively into Carl's partner and

began to shout, phobic abuse. And the whole atmosphere changed. I

asked Jeremy fee was all right he said yes and I walked back and I

approached the person and I asked him whether he had a problem. He

turned and looked at me and said, "I haven't got a problem, get out of my

face". As I turned to walk away, I heard him shout some more abuse. He

called us freaks. I took out my telephone and then I started to call

the police and explain what the problem was. We'd just had some

homophobic abuse and an assault. The man walked off. Carl followed him.

But the man then picked up the glass bottle. Hurling it at Carl's head. I

had. And it smashed on the pavement just behind beat it up if it had

broken on me, I could have been cut. At that point I decided it wouldn't

have been wise to chase him. I'm even more careful now when we see

groups around us. I think, as a gay couple, we are always aware of

people making comments and occasionally you get remarks and I

usually challenged those and I will continue to do so. Homophobic abuse

is not uncommon. But sometimes violence gives way to catastrophe on

a different scale. Two weeks ago in Orlando, Florida, 49 people were

killed and 53 injured when a lone gunmen opened fire in a gay

nightclub. The attack devastated the LGBT community around the world. And

for the organisers of events like Pride, it's a reminder of the

ongoing struggle against intolerance. I became the festival

director eight years ago and even in that eight years, I've seen the

progress and people's views and opinions about the LGBT community

really change. I think there's less fear factor and there's less mystery

about what gay is. All you people, gay, straight, bisexual, whatever,

all come together and say, do you know what? We don't mind what your

sexuality is because everybody is human. The atmosphere in Birmingham

is great, there is so much tolerance, so much positivity. It is

the sort of event where it takes you at least a week for the world to

steal it from you, so for the next week I'm going to feel really

positive. Police are, of course, still looking

for the person who hurled abuse and a glass bottle at Carl phobic

incident that we heard about in that film. They've got a CCTV image of a

man they want to trace in connection with this incident, so if you can

identify him, please do get in touch.

Still to come this morning: Floored by a single punch - the promising

footballer whose plans were left in tatters.

I got told there was a possibility of losing the site in my left eye

and I had two or three plates put into my face and they'll be staying

there for the rest of my life. And there is more from the officers

taking Pride in policing a very colourful event. It is fundamentally

about engaging with people and showing that human side of policing.

But first, here and Crimewatch Roadshow we've featured many

distressing cases where rogue traders and distraction burglars

have targeted older people who live alone. But here in south Wales, a

new scheme has been launched to help protect some particular vulnerable

residents and Deborah Elward is a crime reduction advisor. Wells-Burr

the. Welcome. Tell me about this new scheme. It is a project between

South Wales Police and local food delivery service and it very much

focuses on working with the drivers and how we can get information out

to the drivers that they can deliver to their customers on how to reduce

the opportunity for a rogue trader or distraction incident. OK. We can

see a clip of Peter, one of your drivers, in action. The majority of

our customers are elderly, so they have a tendency to do things which

put them at risk. Everything from rogue traders at the front door to

just not locking doors, keeping too much money in the house, that kind

of thing. We happens to meet up with the police quite by chance and they

agreed to come and work with us to try and help us educate our

customers. I get a lot of letters from clairvoyants that send me money

and then I will pray for you and then I will pray that you are all

right. She can send them down and they can investigate them. You can't

be too careful who you have in. And surprised I asked you in! Other than

dropping her food on the floor, he is busy making a big difference is

positive way. He is your eyes and ears, isn't it? He is. This scheme

started as a result of meeting one victim of crime who lost in excess

of ?30,000. These drivers deliver to a few thousand people on a weekly

basis. They've got a rapport with their customers so the barriers are

already broken down, so often when we are out and about doing awareness

raising, people will say "It will never happen to me". These drivers

have a relationship with their customers that mean they will get

further information from them to the keep them safe. It seems to be

working so far. It is working. We get some really positive results.

One driver intervened and prevented somebody from becoming a victim of a

distraction burglary, when an unknown name knocked on the door

asking for a glass of water. It is a classic distraction burglary

technique. Without the intervention, I have no doubt that person would

have become a victim of crime. A brilliant result and you will be

only too aware that these crimes can have a devastating impact on the

victims. Often people will say that they feel foolish, they feel stupid,

to the worst case in Oreos where people become very isolated, very

withdrawn from society. The bigger picture is, it then impact on their

health and their well-being and their independence to remain in

their own home. It's a brilliant scheme. Thank you for coming in and

joining us and keep up the good work. But for now, let's see what

Michelle's to back in Birmingham. It's all pretty quiet in Birmingham

this morning but like any city centre, the bars and clubs come

alive at night and detectives here are looking for your help to

identify the man who attacked a promising sport student on a night

out. I've always had a passion for

sports, especially for football. It's always been a part of my life

since a young age. I'm studying sports degree, which allows me to

expel future avenues within sport. -- explore. But on a night out with

friends in February, Alex's dreams of a career in sport were put on the

line. I went out with my friends on Thursday night to a place called

Arcadian. Since we've been going there, there's nothing, like any

violence or anything, occur, so it's a nice relaxed atmosphere. Alex

spent the evening with mates who he hadn't seen for months. It was

mainly a catch-up. I'd just come back from university for that night

and it was a few drinks and everything was going fine. As the

night out was coming to an end, Alex realised he couldn't find one of his

friends. Gradually, as people started to leave, there were only a

few of us left, so I tried to get in contact with one of my friends.

Outside, Alex was trying to phone his mate when he saw trouble

brewing. A young man was arguing with another group. The bouncers

moved them on but the trouble was far from over. As they both left,

they both walked in the same direction so you could see something

was going to happen. The argument was reaching boiling point. Alex

decided to try and calm things down. As I walked over, I noticed that he

was lying on the floor and they were trying to kick his head in. So I've

literally gone over just to try and defuse the situation and that's the

last thing I remember. CCTV shows the moment it all goes

wrong. Cameras pick up Alex as he steps in to try and help and is

flawed by a single punch. By that time, I'd realised what had

happened, that the pain was terrible and I couldn't open my left eye. The

bouncers said they'd seen it but they couldn't get there in the time

that it happened and the two people had already left the scene by that

time. As paramedics treated Alex, the true extent of his injuries

became apparent. Alex would need surgery. I had a double fractured

eye socket and cheekbone. During the surgery, I got told just beforehand

that there was a possibility of losing the site in my left eye,

which knocks you back. I've had two or three plates put into my face and

they'll be staying in there for the rest of my life. The seriousness of

Alex's injuries forced him to take months of time off from university,

leaving his entire future career in sports in jeopardy. It prevented me

from doing the exams that I prepared myself for and being involved with

something I loved within the university, and that's playing in

the football team. Locally, Alex is making a good recovery but he's

still struggling to come to terms with what happened to him. They've

just thrown a punch and walked of thinking, "Oh, well, it's only a

punch" but I could've lost my eyesight within the operation. It

does make you wonder. It makes me take a step back if something is

happening. I'm not going to get involved again. I've tried being the

good Samaritan and ended up with this. What's the point.

It's really sad ming, isn't it? I'm joined by DC Rick Sharp of West

Midlands Police. A single punch but a huge affect on Alex's life. Yes,

it's only a single punch but Alex was knocked to the ground, knocked

unconscious, and hit his head on the pavement. He's made a good recovery.

What do we know about the attacker? As we can see on the CCTV, we're

looking for a tall, athletic build mail, he is black or mixed race, in

his 20s. He's wearing a black top and light-coloured trousers. He's

also with another male that we'd like to speak to, who is wearing a

red, checked shirt. This is the first time on Crimewatch Roadshow

where a single punch has had devastating consequences on the

victim and I'm sure as a police officer that the same for you. Yeah,

it's important and it's a good opportunity to show the consequences

that a single blow can do. It's only one punch but the consequences can

be serious or worse. We saw in the film, this has really affected Alex,

not just physically but psychologically. How is he doing

now? I've spoken a number of times with Alex recently and he is making

a good recovery. I think it affected him quite badly initially, not only

the injury but also psychologically, but he's well on the mend now and

looking forward to the rest of his unique time. Thank you very much.

Rav, back to you. If you recognise Alex's attacker or

his friend, please get in touch using the numbers on screen.

Now it's time for a look at today's Wanted Faces.

First up is Ryan Birkett, although he also calls

He was sentenced to four years and eight months in a young

offenders' institution after he caused the death of a man

He was released early on licence, but has failed to stick

to the conditions of his release and is now wanted back in jail.

Birkett is 19 and has links to Dagenham and

He's described as violent, so just dial 999 if

Detectives in the Met want to speak to him about a shooting

Ejeta is 30 and has friends and family across London,

although it's believed he may now be abroad.

Third is this man, Paul Aaron Mackay.

He was jailed for five years for rape and placed on the sex

But he's failed to stick to the conditions of being

on the register and is now wanted back in prison.

Mackay is 46 and has numerous tattoos, including

He has links to Lancashire and South Yorkshire and is described

as dangerous, so if you know where he is just call 999.

Finally is this man Jason Pallas, although he also calls himself Jason

West Mercia Police want to question him in connection to the theft

of a cash machine from a bank in Cleobury Mortimer in Shropshire

If you know where any of these faces are, please call and text

Now it's safe to say that these days, most of us have one of these.

But with technology moving on so quickly, it's not unusual

for people to sell their old phone so they can trade-up.

And the internet makes that easier to do than ever.

But police here in the West Midlands say that just this month they've

spotted a new fraud targeting people selling their mobile online.

Here to tell me more is DC Lawrence Shannon.

Lawrence, tell us how the scam works.

It seems so far to be targeting Gumtree users,

who are trying to sell a phone online.

What happens is a would-be customer makes contact and visits the phone

Once inside he manages to swap the phone for a dummy model,

claims he's no longer interested and leaves - with both

the phone and without having handed over any payment.

How many of these cases have been reported already?

Well, in the first two weeks of June alone,

cases reported - some happening on he same day,

so we are currently treating them as linked.

And are they targeting any particular makes

Three of the five offences were advertising a Samsung S7,

the other two were iPhone 6S - so it looks like they're

But the good news is that you've managed to capture an image

of one suspect on CCTV, is that right?

The individual was caught on the home CCTV system of one

victim who has fallen foul of this scam.

The incident took place at Broadstone Road, Stechford,

on the 14th of June and the footage shows the so-called customer

arriving at the house before the swap was made and the phone

that was advertised for sale was stolen.

We are really hoping someone watching can tell us

That's great - a really clear image there.

And of course, worth warning anyone else out there who's thinking

of trying to sell their phone online to be on their guard?

Next, our weekly appeal for your help to find a missing person.

Every two minutes a person is reported missing in the UK -

and for their family and friends it is an agonising time.

26-year-old Scott Cooke from Weston-Super-Mare

hasn't been seen for more than a year.

His foster Mum Doreen Jones is here - and Detective Chief

Inspector Ray Hulin from Avon and Somerset Police, welcome both.

Doreen, what can you tell us about Scott?

Scott moved in with us for two weeks and then stayed for eight years and

quickly became part of the family. He fitted in with all of my own

children. He had a real desire to help other people and he really

wanted to but he found everyday life challenging. He loved writing lyrics

and performing and he was known as Jaydot by a lot of his friends. So

he stayed until he was 18 and then he moved out and lived on his own?

But you stayed in regular touch? Yes. And when did you realise

something was wrong? His landlady called to say that he had not been

seen for two days. Prior to that, neighbour had seen him outside,

saying that there was someone in his flat is trying to get him.

Police were called - I went round to his flat,

no sign of him- we then put posters up around Weston-Super-Mare

and spoke to people but no-one had seen him.

What can you tell us about the police investigation? It is a

missing person investigation but I can tell you that I am increasingly

concerned about the whereabouts of Scott. I would appeal to anyone who

spoke to him before his disappearance, anyone who has spoken

to him since his disappearance, and I would appeal to any individual

directly who knows the specific circumstances of the disappearance.

We have a recent image of Scott that you think we can show. Describe him

to us? He is five foot five, slim build. He did not have any facial

clear at the time of going missing but he could now have a beard. He

has a tattooed on his upper right shoulder. It is very distinctive. It

says the words Jaydot on the arm. Going back to the original image,

his here could be very different now? Yes. And you saw him two weeks

before the disappearance and his here was longer? Slightly longer.

And with sideburns. OK. We need to hear from anyone who has any

information about that disappearance. Thank you both for

joining us. If you can help, please get in touch.

Rav, I'm here in Victoria Square where just a few weeks ago,

Birmingham Pride's street parade got off to a sensational start.

We went along to see how West Midlands Police get involved

Gay pride is one of Birmingham's busiest annual events, attracting

more than 50,000 visitors. It is a major operation for West Midlands

Police. And just like any big public event, preparation is key. So it is

an early start for the officers on duty. It really is a fun car --

carnival, high-profile event. You are going to see some weird and

wonderful sites, so in Bray said. Mark Watkins is one of the

commanders on the ground. It is such good fun. Tens of thousands of

people watching the procession today. It is an absolutely brilliant

opportunity for us to get out into the community. Sometimes the face of

policing is one that people do not want to engage with but an event

like today, it is very smiley. I have had my photograph taken by

strange people many times but what a laugh. Among the celebrations, there

can be tension. The officers receive a complaint about an onlooker

shouting abuse. He said, you are going to hell. Disappointingly we

had someone approached us and say there has been an incident of

homophobic abuse. We are trying to identify who the people are and we

want to get that done straightaway. The officers have to remain

vigilant. Unfortunately pickpockets and sometimes try to target the

location. People have consumed a fair bit of booze and it is about

making sure they get home safely. Fortunately, incidents like these

are rare. Police hope that their presence will keep problems to a

minimum. We start planning about three or four months ago, with the

organisers, and I have about 40 officers on today. We're keeping it

as as possible. As the procession continues, the officers on duty are

encouraged to join in the fun. But West Midlands Police also have a

strong LGBT community of their own. Taking part in the event, not just

policing it, that shows that we want to be part of the community. It is

not just a case of them having an event and asked policing it, it

shows that it is important to us as well. Diversity within the police is

really important and we want to reflect the community we serve. It

has been a successful Carnival and as day turns into night, the party

is far from over in Birmingham's Gay village. People come out to enjoy

what technically becomes a night on the town. We will still be policing,

but it will be more like issues one -- once people have taken a drink

on. As the alcohol flows, the incidents increase. This man has

been taken back to the police station. Throughout the day, and

into the night, officers try to calm the situation is before they

escalate. Overall, police say that they are happy with the way that a

bride has gone this year. -- the way that Pride. It is about showing that

Birmingham is a tolerant place. This is one of the best events for

policing in Birmingham. Now as we've just seen, a big city

like Birmingham needs plenty of bobbies on the beat to keep

the streets safe. And I'm joined by a very special one

- PC Cornell Barnes, also known as Barney,

who at 66 is the oldest police That's correct. We have calculated

that you have walked 50,000 miles on the beat in 26 years of policing.

My feet are fine but my knees are not too good. You are looking

forward to having a bit of chill time? Absolutely. What have been the

highlight is within your career. Being awarded the MBE for services

to neighbourhood policing. You cannot get a higher accolade than

that. I feel that it is not just for me, it is for all the people I have

worked with within the station. I also love helping people. Every time

I do something that makes someone smile, I feel good. You're making me

smile right now. And you have made 1300 arrests in your time, roughly

equating to 50 year. You have any particularly memorable ones? There

are few. I have to say the one that took place while we were actually

playing in the arcades in Birmingham city centre, when a man who was

wanted to robbery and had been recalled to prison was being chased

by police officers and he jumped over the balcony into the middle of

the playing bands, not realising there was a band of police officers.

I bet he was surprised by that! And one thing you will not be retiring

from is you directing this amazing band. Tell me more about them? The

band is fantastic. We are made up of civilians, retired officers, serving

police officers, people from all walks of life. There is only one

requisite for playing with us and that is that you are a person of

good character and you will not bring the uniform into disrepute.

The people here do it for nothing, in their own time. It is a nice
