Hello and welcome to Crimewatch Roadshow.

:01:06.:01:12.

the programme that really does help police nick the bad guys.

:01:13.:01:14.

Six years on - do you know who killed Wayne Powell,

:01:15.:01:18.

And the sniffer dogs, on the trail of dangerous,

:01:19.:01:21.

Why are they not in there? Because they are illegal, not allowed.

:01:22.:01:37.

And for the final leg of the Roadshow

:01:38.:01:39.

road trip, Michelle's just a few miles away from our Cardiff studio -

:01:40.:01:42.

Hi Rav, I'm at a South Wales Fire and Rescue training ground

:01:43.:01:46.

More than 5800 deliberate fires were started in South Wales last year.

:01:47.:01:56.

These guys are hoping to fight back against fire starting. More later.

:01:57.:01:59.

And our first appeal this morning shows just how devastating

:02:00.:02:05.

Mitchell and Helen have lived and worked in cities for most of their

:02:06.:02:12.

lives. When I first met Helen I was living in Cardiff and she said, I

:02:13.:02:16.

want to come back to the country, I don't want to live in the city. They

:02:17.:02:23.

decided to buy a country house and found their dream home in Gilwern,

:02:24.:02:28.

Monmouthshire. It had not been lived in for two years when we came. It

:02:29.:02:34.

looked a bit unloved and lonely. We knew when we bought the house it was

:02:35.:02:38.

a lifetime project. We spent the subsequent eight years renovating

:02:39.:02:46.

it, section by section. Last summer after years of building disruption,

:02:47.:02:49.

Helen and Mitchell were finally able to move in. It was as if this overly

:02:50.:02:56.

stretched elastic band of tension just went... And it was a kind of

:02:57.:03:05.

feeling that, I'm here, I'm home. But their happiness was short lived.

:03:06.:03:13.

Three months after moving in, Helen and Mitchell were in London for the

:03:14.:03:25.

weekend. At half past four, the phone went. We knew in that moment

:03:26.:03:36.

that there was something wrong. You'd better come home, your house

:03:37.:03:43.

is on fire. We were out of the hotel in 15 minutes. I think you said to

:03:44.:03:52.

me, I'm not sure, I think we've got to brace ourselves to see something

:03:53.:03:56.

quite bad. But nothing could prepare them for what they were about to

:03:57.:04:03.

see. There were about five fire engines and loads of firefighters

:04:04.:04:08.

all over the place and all this smoke. I think at that point we knew

:04:09.:04:09.

we had lost everything. Germanic the roofing had gone, the

:04:10.:04:26.

ceilings had all gone, the windows had all them out, fireplaces, when

:04:27.:04:32.

they were not made of stone, all melted. I thought, and I left

:04:33.:04:40.

something on, had I done something really stupid? But investigators had

:04:41.:04:44.

already found evidence that the fire had been started deliberately. The

:04:45.:04:49.

police officer said was there any graffiti on the building when you

:04:50.:04:56.

left it? Then we knew. The character of the whole incident changed

:04:57.:05:01.

completely from being an accident to something we may have been

:05:02.:05:05.

responsible for to something someone had perpetrated against us. None of

:05:06.:05:11.

it made any sense to us. Mitchell and Helen were devastated by the

:05:12.:05:15.

loss of their home but there is no question in their minds about the

:05:16.:05:19.

way forward. We have to rebuild. You cannot leave it as it is. In

:05:20.:05:25.

Germanic months since the fire the couple still have no idea who

:05:26.:05:33.

started it. Closure might put an end to this questioning of why. The idea

:05:34.:05:41.

of somebody wanting to do this, I still find it bewildering. I am more

:05:42.:05:47.

concerned that they feel that firstly, that they can do it, and

:05:48.:05:52.

secondly, they could do it again, and next time somebody might be in

:05:53.:05:54.

the house. A beautiful house, lost

:05:55.:05:56.

in a matter of hours. DS Sarah Goodchild from Gwent police

:05:57.:05:58.

is here with us. Sarah, Helen and Mitchell spent

:05:59.:06:08.

eight years restoring the home, a real Labour of love, completely

:06:09.:06:14.

destroyed. Hi, yes it was, the fire made the roof caving and that's

:06:15.:06:17.

destroyed the whole house, they are naturally devastated by this. Two

:06:18.:06:22.

you have any clues as to who might have targeted the property? Because

:06:23.:06:27.

of the scale and intensity of the fire friends and opportunities were

:06:28.:06:31.

limited but because of graffiti left at the scene, offensive, yet

:06:32.:06:36.

unfounded, we believe this is a case of mistaken identity. There might

:06:37.:06:40.

have been a break in attempt might be for the fire. We can't be

:06:41.:06:46.

certain, we believe there was an alarm activation that night,

:06:47.:06:50.

Saturday 18th going into Saturday night in September last year,

:06:51.:06:53.

treated as a false alarm yet it adds weight to our believe that this was

:06:54.:06:57.

a targeted property, albeit mistakenly. Someone must know who

:06:58.:07:02.

did this. We would appeal for anyone with any information to come forward

:07:03.:07:08.

and speak to us. Mitchell has put up a private reward of ?50,000, that

:07:09.:07:14.

would be for any information that leads to the arrest of anyone

:07:15.:07:18.

responsible for this. Thankfully they were not there on the night

:07:19.:07:22.

they could have lost their lives as well. On a positive note they

:07:23.:07:26.

started rebuilding the home. Yes, they are determined to be storage to

:07:27.:07:31.

its original state before this awful fire. Sarah, thank you. If you have

:07:32.:07:36.

any information, please get in contact with us. Next we need you to

:07:37.:07:42.

look at today's selection of crooks caught on camera. This man is

:07:43.:07:53.

walking this couple to a bank to withdraw money from heating repairs,

:07:54.:07:57.

the problem is that they don't need any work done. He leaves them there

:07:58.:08:00.

and says someone else will be there to pick up the cash. Sure enough

:08:01.:08:05.

after 20 minutes per second man joins the couple coming he stays

:08:06.:08:09.

with them and even follows them to the cashier's window. He waits while

:08:10.:08:13.

they withdraw ?1500 of their savings. He then leaves the bank

:08:14.:08:17.

with the couple and the hard and cash. The work on their heating is

:08:18.:08:23.

never carried out. Can you name these despicable men? This

:08:24.:08:33.

78-year-old man walks into a bank in Watford to withdraw a large amount

:08:34.:08:38.

of his savings. Whilst inside he loves and jokes with the cashier 's.

:08:39.:08:43.

Before leaving with ?10,000 in two Brown envelopes. Police believe that

:08:44.:08:50.

this man is loitering outside waiting. At the top of the screen

:08:51.:08:54.

you can see the pensioner walking to his car, parked outside the bank.

:08:55.:08:58.

Suddenly the man grabs him from behind and throws into the ground,

:08:59.:09:05.

running with his hard earned cash. He is seen here still running

:09:06.:09:10.

minutes later, clasping the stolen envelopes. Do you know this

:09:11.:09:19.

despicable thief? January, at a nightclub in Oxford, this reveller

:09:20.:09:23.

was being shown the door by security staff. He was escorted out. But he

:09:24.:09:30.

was not happy. Minutes later, as the employee returned to work, he ran

:09:31.:09:34.

after him. The determined nightclubber followed the doorman at

:09:35.:09:39.

the stairs, desperate to get back inside, grabbed the security man and

:09:40.:09:45.

threw him down the stairs. The four fractured and dislocated the

:09:46.:09:48.

employee's shoulder. As the doorman they injured, the man calmly walked

:09:49.:09:55.

past him and left. Can you name this disgruntled nightclubber? If you

:09:56.:10:00.

recognise anyone come you know what to do. Michelle? Thanks. Earlier in

:10:01.:10:09.

the programme police appealed for your help to try to catch the person

:10:10.:10:14.

who burned down a home not far from here in Gilwern, Monmouthshire. To

:10:15.:10:20.

tell us more about the challenges of tracking arsonists, this is fire

:10:21.:10:27.

investigator Dewi Jones. How much of the problem is this? Par in the last

:10:28.:10:35.

year in South Wales, deliberate fires have resulted in 900 injuries

:10:36.:10:40.

and more than five deaths. It is difficult to identify the

:10:41.:10:42.

perpetrators because of the nature of arson, the conviction rate is

:10:43.:10:49.

only 8%. What are you looking for at the scene of a fire? While going in

:10:50.:10:56.

that I will discuss it with the cruise, use my understanding and

:10:57.:10:59.

look at the degree of burning and then adopt the scientific method to

:11:00.:11:05.

eliminate all possible causes and one remains. Dewi, thank you. Many

:11:06.:11:10.

fire investigators use an interesting tool, in the form of a

:11:11.:11:20.

four-legged friend. I am joined by arson dog Willow. You have been in

:11:21.:11:25.

the Fire Service had 25 years, had they help you? They are a fantastic

:11:26.:11:29.

as it because they are looking for tiny traces of ignitable liquid that

:11:30.:11:35.

could be missed by other means. Petrol, diesel, paraffin, anything

:11:36.:11:38.

that will accelerate the rate of fire beyond which it would normally

:11:39.:11:45.

burn. We've got a fire has, talk us through what Willow will do now.

:11:46.:11:49.

We're going to check all these burned areas on the carpet tiles.

:11:50.:11:56.

The dog needs to discriminate between areas of normal burning and

:11:57.:12:01.

identify the seat of fire. She is sniffing to find out what caused the

:12:02.:12:07.

fire. She has given a positive indication on this title. Well done!

:12:08.:12:13.

Good girl. We can take this for forensic analysis. It is critical

:12:14.:12:17.

that we find other evidence. We will carry on the search to find

:12:18.:12:22.

something else. So she's looking for extra evidence? On clothing or on

:12:23.:12:28.

anything else that may link suspect to the scene. She's found something.

:12:29.:12:33.

What has she found. Good girl! Good girl! What she has found is a

:12:34.:12:40.

writer. And from that we may be able to get fingerprints and DN a. It is

:12:41.:12:47.

not just what caused the fire, it is who caused it and she has identified

:12:48.:12:52.

evidence. It's critical that we link suspect to the fire scene and with

:12:53.:12:56.

that evidence we can take that to court. Thank you, this is great to

:12:57.:13:01.

see. Now from deliberate fires to those caused by the worrying trend

:13:02.:13:06.

in dangerous illegal cigarettes. It is a trade run by organised

:13:07.:13:12.

criminals. Illegal tobacco is not regulated and is often smuggled into

:13:13.:13:16.

the UK. It costs the Treasury millions. But it also costs lives.

:13:17.:13:28.

It is totally mind blowing. There could be no formal identification of

:13:29.:13:31.

my mother because the fire had been so intense. They needed DNA samples

:13:32.:13:42.

from me. Four years ago, 71-year-old Juno was killed in a house fire

:13:43.:13:48.

caused by an illegal cigarette. She was disabled, she was at home

:13:49.:13:55.

sitting in her chair. We presume she had other fallen asleep or fallen

:13:56.:13:57.

ill and dropped the cigarette that she was smoking into her chair and

:13:58.:14:02.

it continued to burn, and the fire took hold and took hold of the whole

:14:03.:14:14.

chair. The fire was called to the Mac caused by this illegal Russian

:14:15.:14:17.

brand of cigarette that does not meet UK safety standards. All

:14:18.:14:21.

cigarettes sold you must pass laboratory tests to make sure that

:14:22.:14:24.

they self extinguish when they are not being smoked.

:14:25.:14:32.

By having what typical speed bumps in the paper, the smoker cannot get

:14:33.:14:41.

past them. He puts a legitimate cigarette to the test. To pass, what

:14:42.:14:46.

we are expecting is that the cigarette. Way before it gets to the

:14:47.:14:51.

filter. And that's exactly what it does. But that's what -- Bulut what

:14:52.:15:02.

happens with an illegal bran. If that was your pillow or your

:15:03.:15:06.

mattress, the evidence speaks for itself. A high risk of fire. In

:15:07.:15:14.

Derbyshire, Trading Standards have made tackling the illegal tobacco

:15:15.:15:19.

trade a top priority. In December last year, 2015, we had our biggest

:15:20.:15:24.

ever seizure of cigarettes and tobacco, something like 1.8 million

:15:25.:15:29.

cigarettes and 600 kilograms of hand-rolling tobacco. We've had

:15:30.:15:33.

seven prosecutions for people selling illegal tobacco. Three of

:15:34.:15:39.

those people got sent to prison. The illegal tobacco unit relies on

:15:40.:15:49.

specially trained dogs like Yoyo and Scamp to fish out the evidence.

:15:50.:15:53.

Without the dogs, we would find some but not as much as we do at the

:15:54.:15:57.

moment. There are sophisticated hiding places that the criminals are

:15:58.:16:02.

using, sliding wall panels, remote control operated panels that work on

:16:03.:16:10.

a car alarm key fob. Today the team are carrying out targeted searches

:16:11.:16:14.

at two newsagents' they suspect are selling illegal to Roco product.

:16:15.:16:20.

Whilst trading standards officer Adrian talks to the shop assistant,

:16:21.:16:25.

Scamp is set to work. He soon catches a cent under the counter.

:16:26.:16:34.

Tell me about those. I did ask you when I came in, if you got

:16:35.:16:39.

e-cigarette... You didn't tell me you'd got those under the counter.

:16:40.:16:45.

Tell me about those. They are for... Why are they not in there? No, not

:16:46.:16:50.

in there, because they are illegal once. The cigarettes are seized for

:16:51.:16:58.

testing. Before word gets around, the officers head to the next shop.

:16:59.:17:06.

This time it is Yoyo's turn and he is very interested in the wall

:17:07.:17:10.

behind the tilt it up in a hidden compartment, Yoyo has found a stash

:17:11.:17:15.

of 700 illegal cigarettes and some rolling tobacco, worth hundreds of

:17:16.:17:19.

pounds. The tobacco seized here and in the first raid will now be sent

:17:20.:17:23.

for testing and the shops will continue to be monitored by Trading

:17:24.:17:28.

Standards. Adrian is pleased with survey's resulted top we found

:17:29.:17:32.

illegal tobacco at all the promises we visited and while they are

:17:33.:17:35.

modest, we will continue to work in this way in order to keep ahead on

:17:36.:17:39.

the illegal tobacco problem and to protect local consumers and

:17:40.:17:46.

businesses. It has been four years since June died in a house fire.

:17:47.:17:52.

It's awful. The smells won't go away. It won't get any easier. It's

:17:53.:17:57.

not just my mum, there have been other fire deaths in the UK caused

:17:58.:18:04.

by illicit cigarettes. It's just a sign of the times. Everybody's

:18:05.:18:07.

trying to buy cheap items but these are killers and I just urge people

:18:08.:18:14.

to stop buying them. . The trade and save lives.

:18:15.:18:28.

-- it will end the trade. We need your help. This woman was

:18:29.:18:32.

walking home along Daisy Street in the area of Coseley, between the

:18:33.:18:36.

towns of Dudley and Wolverhampton. Was around 11:45am and she was

:18:37.:18:39.

approached by a man riding on a mountain back. He snatched her

:18:40.:18:43.

handbag from the victim's shoulder with such force he pulls out of the

:18:44.:18:47.

ground. She didn't stand a chance and was left shaken and badly

:18:48.:18:52.

bruised. Take a look again. The suspect was wearing a grey

:18:53.:18:55.

tracksuit. If you recognise him, please do get in touch.

:18:56.:19:02.

Still to come this morning... The plucky pensioner who saw off her

:19:03.:19:08.

attackers with some nifty moves. I got in a real bad temper, I'll be

:19:09.:19:15.

honest, and I just went like that. I said, I'll give you another for

:19:16.:19:18.

Binnie one. And as this year's road show draws

:19:19.:19:23.

to a close, we look back at some of the highlights from four weeks.

:19:24.:19:28.

But now it's time for a look at today's wanted faces.

:19:29.:19:33.

Police forces around the country are asking for your

:19:34.:19:35.

Detectives in Essex want to question him after a teenager was kidnapped

:19:36.:19:41.

Blane is 19 and has links to Essex and London.

:19:42.:19:44.

Next is Ian Robert Tyler, although this photo is over 15 years

:19:45.:19:47.

old, so his appearance will have changed.

:19:48.:19:49.

He was jailed for ten years for importing class-A

:19:50.:19:52.

Tyler has friends and family in Essex

:19:53.:20:01.

and Greater London, but police believe he could now be abroad.

:20:02.:20:04.

Third is 36-year-old Tommy Doyle, although he calls

:20:05.:20:06.

Officers in North Yorkshire want to question him after a man

:20:07.:20:09.

was assaulted in his home, suffering two fractured arms and

:20:10.:20:12.

A number of possessions were also stolen.

:20:13.:20:15.

Doyle has connections across the UK and Ireland.

:20:16.:20:18.

Finally for today and this series, we have Constantin Marius Toderica.

:20:19.:20:22.

Detectives want to question him in connection with a burglary

:20:23.:20:25.

He's also wanted for questioning about immigration offences.

:20:26.:20:31.

Toderica is 41 and originally from Romania, but now has links

:20:32.:20:34.

to London, especially around Charing Cross.

:20:35.:20:36.

He's known to smoke roll-up cigarettes.

:20:37.:20:40.

If you recognise any of these faces, make sure

:20:41.:20:42.

Text CW, a space and then your message.

:20:43.:20:52.

Next, police in Gloucester need your help to try and catch the man they

:20:53.:21:07.

believe is responsible for three vicious sets attacks which happened

:21:08.:21:11.

in the city on a single night back in January. Joining me now is DS Jon

:21:12.:21:16.

Thompson from Gloucestershire police. Tell us more about the

:21:17.:21:22.

sexual assault. Thank you. In the early hours of Saturday January the

:21:23.:21:26.

9th of this year, two young women left a nightclub in Eastgate Street,

:21:27.:21:33.

Gloucester, with a takeaway. They were housemates and friends and they

:21:34.:21:35.

walked back through the city centre home. They went via Kings Square and

:21:36.:21:42.

went down Kingsholm Road. We have CCTV of a male following these young

:21:43.:21:48.

women down Kingsholm Road. They then turn into Sweetbriar Street and into

:21:49.:21:52.

Swan Road and it is then, at around 4am, a stranger attacks them both.

:21:53.:21:58.

These were sexual assaults and the concerning thing for us with the

:21:59.:22:01.

level of violence used. Both women were punched and knocked to the

:22:02.:22:05.

floor. One of them managed to ring the police, as did a local resident

:22:06.:22:09.

who had seen what has happened. The offender ran off. There was a

:22:10.:22:13.

further incident, was in there? Yes, the first incident happened at why

:22:14.:22:22.

am -- at 1am, short time after that, a second incident happened. This was

:22:23.:22:27.

in the car park of Go Outdoors, on the junction of Barton Street and

:22:28.:22:33.

try away. A young woman was raped and, again, there was a high degree

:22:34.:22:37.

of violence used. You believe these cases are linked, don't you? That's

:22:38.:22:41.

right it took the descriptions given by both the victims in the first

:22:42.:22:48.

incident and the third victim are very similar, the man in his 20s

:22:49.:22:53.

with olive skin, short, dark hair, five to 5'7" tall, with dark eyes,

:22:54.:23:01.

and that similarity in the disruption, the nature of the

:23:02.:23:05.

offence and the violence, which is quite unusual, as well as the

:23:06.:23:07.

location and the timings, leaders to think it is the same person. There

:23:08.:23:14.

was a man caught on CCTV that might? Yes, we have CCTV footage of a man

:23:15.:23:18.

who was in the area at the relevant times and his behaviour causes some

:23:19.:23:21.

concern. He appears to be loitering in the area, walking up one street

:23:22.:23:26.

and down the same street and then taking an interest in a group of

:23:27.:23:31.

young women, and there are two occasions, which is quite worrying,

:23:32.:23:34.

where he pays particular attention and follows two lone females. I

:23:35.:23:40.

really need to identify who this is, to see if we are able to eliminate

:23:41.:23:45.

him throughout increase. Thank you very much. Any information, please

:23:46.:23:48.

do get in touch. On Tuesday will be six years to the

:23:49.:23:52.

day since Wayne Powell was murdered by a lone gunman in east London. The

:23:53.:23:57.

39-year-old father of six was shot dead outside his gym. His killer has

:23:58.:24:01.

never been brought to justice but detectives and his family are now

:24:02.:24:04.

hoping that someone will finally come forward with the information

:24:05.:24:06.

they are so desperate for. And joined by Wayne pot partner Anne

:24:07.:24:11.

Boriel and the detective in the case, DC this could both from the

:24:12.:24:17.

Metropolitan Police. -- Jamie Piscopo. I know this is difficult

:24:18.:24:22.

for you to speak about but what can you tell me about Wayne is a person?

:24:23.:24:28.

He was an excellent son, a loving father and a wonderful partner. What

:24:29.:24:37.

can you remember about that day when you were told the news that he had

:24:38.:24:44.

been shot? It's all a bit of a blur at the moment, but Wayne left and he

:24:45.:24:50.

didn't come back, so it was just a shock to know that he had left in

:24:51.:24:57.

the morning and not returned in the night, so it was just a shock. Had

:24:58.:25:01.

you spoken to him throughout the day? It was a normal day and he said

:25:02.:25:05.

he was going to be home soon? Yes, but he never returned. And then you

:25:06.:25:10.

got that fateful knock on the door from the police, which you wouldn't

:25:11.:25:15.

wish on anyone. DCI Jamie Piscopo, it is a tragic case but what do we

:25:16.:25:18.

know about what happened to Wayne mandate? It is a terrible case,

:25:19.:25:25.

rather. What we believe is, it was a planned attack. He was approached by

:25:26.:25:32.

this lone gunmen and shot. We are still unclear as regards to the

:25:33.:25:37.

motive. As has been mentioned, Wayne was a family man, who worked for

:25:38.:25:41.

London Underground the several years. He was a part-time DJ and we

:25:42.:25:45.

can't think of any reason why anyone would want to kill him. We've got a

:25:46.:25:49.

map. Talk me through the map of where this occurred. Wayne was at a

:25:50.:25:55.

private gym. He had been a member of this gym for about ten years. Was a

:25:56.:26:00.

converted garage in Coningsby Gardens. He was in that gym until

:26:01.:26:05.

about 10:10pm. He left that gym and went to his car, which was near

:26:06.:26:12.

Higham Station Avenue. Witnesses have said that they see a male

:26:13.:26:20.

approach Wayne and they hear Wayne say, "Oh, no," and he tries to run

:26:21.:26:24.

away but, unfortunately, he's shot four times. The person who shot him

:26:25.:26:29.

then runs off towards Chingford Mount Road. We can see some CCTV of

:26:30.:26:36.

Wayne in that gym and this is the last believed citing that we have of

:26:37.:26:39.

him, and this was literally just before? We believe this is just

:26:40.:26:45.

before he left the gym to go to his car on that night. At the moment,

:26:46.:26:50.

you don't have the answers that you need. Hopefully this appeal will

:26:51.:26:54.

help that. Anne, if anyone is at home and has anything they haven't

:26:55.:26:58.

passed on the police, what would you say to them? Please come forward.

:26:59.:27:03.

Anything counts. We just need some closure, Tuwai Wayne was taken from

:27:04.:27:07.

us and his kids left without a father. Yoyo thank you very much for

:27:08.:27:13.

joining us. If you have any information you think that helped

:27:14.:27:16.

the detectives, call the usual number now and we will make sure the

:27:17.:27:19.

incident room number is on our website for your team, Jamie. I

:27:20.:27:24.

should add that there is a ?20,000 Crimestoppers reward for information

:27:25.:27:28.

leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for this

:27:29.:27:35.

murder. Thank you both very much. IMac South Wales Fire and Rescue

:27:36.:27:39.

this morning, talking about the problem of arson attacks and

:27:40.:27:42.

deliberately set grass fires are becoming a real issue, especially in

:27:43.:27:47.

recent years, with more than 1700 occurring in this corner of South

:27:48.:27:52.

Wales. Joining me now is Craig Cope, a firefighter. Grass fires can

:27:53.:27:54.

spread at an alarming rate, currently? Very quickly, especially

:27:55.:27:59.

with wind and fuel. These fires spread really quickly. We've got

:28:00.:28:04.

some drone footage of a grass fire captured by a member of the public.

:28:05.:28:10.

You can see in that house by -- how high the flames are. Talk me through

:28:11.:28:17.

this piece of kit. This is our Hazmat rig and we are showing the

:28:18.:28:25.

cruise Howell to use the beaters. In the past, crews were trained on real

:28:26.:28:28.

fires and so we are trying to move forward now. You have a new weapon

:28:29.:28:32.

at your disposal which helps tackle the fires. This is our Polaris, a

:28:33.:28:38.

six Wheel Drive vehicle which was provided by the Welsh Government to

:28:39.:28:42.

tackle these fires atop it has a 200 litre water tank and it means we can

:28:43.:28:45.

drive off-road to the fires and start working. We have lightweight

:28:46.:28:53.

kit. We have a tool box where we can take things out of the tool box and

:28:54.:28:57.

go out and burn before the fires start, to clear the land. Great

:28:58.:29:04.

progress. Thank you very much. South Wales Fire and Rescue are really

:29:05.:29:07.

working hard to prevent would-be arsonists from striking that first

:29:08.:29:10.

match in the first place. Joining me is Steve O'Connell who runs the

:29:11.:29:13.

Cardiff branch of young firefighters. Talk me through your

:29:14.:29:16.

role and how important it is to prevent fires. I ran one of the

:29:17.:29:22.

local branches of young firefighters and we deal with deliberate fires

:29:23.:29:25.

set through anti-social behaviour, through engagement, and we teach the

:29:26.:29:30.

young people about the work the Fire Service does and the role of the

:29:31.:29:34.

firefighter. Something we talk about a lot is deliberate fire setting,

:29:35.:29:38.

anti-social behaviour, hoax calls and attacks on firefighters and,

:29:39.:29:41.

more importantly, the consequences of these things, so, in other words,

:29:42.:29:46.

the young people know that while a firefighter is dealing with a

:29:47.:29:49.

deliberately set fire, they can't carry out their primary role, which

:29:50.:29:53.

is protecting the community from opposite fires and rescuing people

:29:54.:29:56.

involved in road traffic collisions. Thank you very much. It is great to

:29:57.:30:01.

see the drills these guys are doing. Harry, our young firefighter, talk

:30:02.:30:05.

me through how important this scheme is for you. It is really important.

:30:06.:30:10.

I learned skills on drills which would help me in a future career in

:30:11.:30:15.

the Fire Service. I'm educated on grass fires and arson and that sort

:30:16.:30:18.

of thing, so we can then educate our peers and help prevent it. It is

:30:19.:30:24.

really useful, and good luck in your career as a firefighter. Seriously

:30:25.:30:25.

impressive stop. For most of us our car is our main

:30:26.:30:37.

mode of transport and with regular services and the MOT we expect it to

:30:38.:30:40.

be safe yet with growing pressure for cheaper car parts many are

:30:41.:30:46.

turning to dealers online, the problem is that many are

:30:47.:30:49.

counterfeit, potentially dangerous. How can we tell the genuine from the

:30:50.:30:55.

fake? Graham Mogg is an expert on counterfeiting, key is here to tell

:30:56.:31:01.

us more. Why is there such a demand for this? Most people like a bargain

:31:02.:31:04.

and the availability of cheap goods online leads them to buy counterfeit

:31:05.:31:09.

vehicle parts. Unfortunately why they might be saving money in the

:31:10.:31:14.

short-term in the long term it can damage the vehicle and potentially

:31:15.:31:19.

cause harm. Counterfeit parts are not cheap generic parts. These are

:31:20.:31:23.

the ones pretending to be genuine even though they are clearly not.

:31:24.:31:29.

The genuine parts of the ones we would advise consumers to buy. These

:31:30.:31:35.

are very poor quality fake goods, branded to make consumers believe

:31:36.:31:39.

they are buying the genuine article. You've got some examples, we will

:31:40.:31:43.

move through them quickly. Oil filters. How could that be bad?

:31:44.:31:48.

Difficult for a consumer to tell the difference between the counterfeit

:31:49.:31:52.

and the genuine although the counterfeit structure will

:31:53.:31:54.

disintegrate in the vehicle and could potentially cause fire,

:31:55.:31:57.

causing harm and danger to the driver. Brake pads, one is genuine

:31:58.:32:05.

and one is counterfeit. Difficult for a consumer to tell but you would

:32:06.:32:09.

expect a break disk to have friction to stop a vehicle. The counterfeit

:32:10.:32:14.

parts does not do that. It may stop it for a short period of time,

:32:15.:32:18.

potentially that could disintegrate and cause injury or harmful

:32:19.:32:24.

accident. The generic parts are tested, the counterfeit parts have

:32:25.:32:30.

no such testing. We have an Alloy wheel. It looks good and costs a lot

:32:31.:32:35.

money yet it is not tested like the genuine article and could

:32:36.:32:39.

potentially cause an accident, disintegrate and shutter. You don't

:32:40.:32:45.

even want to think about what could happen in that case. This jacket has

:32:46.:32:50.

been given as an example, it is a counterfeit motorcycle jacket. What

:32:51.:32:54.

problems could you have with that? It looks nice looking and doesn't

:32:55.:32:59.

give you protection, if you come off the motorcycle he must expect some

:33:00.:33:03.

sort of safety to stop injury, that particular article would not stop

:33:04.:33:08.

that safety. A lot of padding, it must be heavily regulated, no such

:33:09.:33:12.

regulation there. What can people do to make sure they don't get these?

:33:13.:33:17.

The main thing is to buy from legitimate retailer or aftermarket

:33:18.:33:21.

sales premises rather than of the Internet because you never know what

:33:22.:33:25.

you are buying, if it's genuine, if you think you've got a fake product

:33:26.:33:29.

reported to trading standards with the citizens advice bureau. BMW have

:33:30.:33:38.

a consumer video on the website, and that advises consumers about the

:33:39.:33:43.

threats and the dangers of could fit automotive parts. Like any other

:33:44.:33:48.

manufacturer they don't want these in they have genuine parts and they

:33:49.:33:55.

are helping, helping other people to avoid buying counterfeit parts.

:33:56.:33:59.

Thank you very much, that's very scary, very useful information,

:34:00.:34:03.

thank you for coming in. Next, let's nail the gang of thugs who got more

:34:04.:34:07.

than they bargained for when they attacked in Newport pensioner.

:34:08.:34:16.

Eight-year-old widow Maria Baynham likes to keep busy. I do gardening

:34:17.:34:21.

and knitting, all my toys I've knitted, you name it, I've done it

:34:22.:34:25.

and I like meeting people. In her younger days she travelled the world

:34:26.:34:29.

with her husband, who was in the Navy. Going to different countries,

:34:30.:34:34.

learning about different cultures and ways was lovely. The first trip

:34:35.:34:39.

abroad was Malta, and then three years in Singapore, went to Hong

:34:40.:34:44.

Kong, and then Germany, and all around the continent. After husband

:34:45.:34:49.

passed away Maria settled in the Ridgeway area of Newport, South

:34:50.:34:54.

Wales. I met so many people here, all the neighbours are lovely. I

:34:55.:34:56.

like it here. But the events of one evening back

:34:57.:35:07.

in March have shaken her. Maria had taken a stroll to post a letter. It

:35:08.:35:15.

was half past eight, and think it was, I posted the letter at the

:35:16.:35:22.

Ridgeway pub. I came back, up the hill, and I heard laughter, and I

:35:23.:35:27.

looked left and right and back and I could not see no one. And the blue,

:35:28.:35:37.

one boy got behind me with his arm like that, I could not scream if I

:35:38.:35:44.

wanted to. And the other one, he just went and punched me in the

:35:45.:35:51.

face. And I got in a real bad temper, I'll be honest, and I just

:35:52.:35:58.

went like that, right. I said you want this one, I'll give you another

:35:59.:36:09.

for anyone! Let's go! And they ran. My arm still hurts from the hit!

:36:10.:36:14.

Maria had used moves that she learned at self defence classes in

:36:15.:36:19.

Singapore 50 years ago. Martial arts, I think they call it. That's

:36:20.:36:24.

the one I did with my elbow. I just thought, you're not going to get me.

:36:25.:36:31.

I won't say what I said and eyebrow! But Maria had been hurt. I won't say

:36:32.:36:41.

what I said under my breath. I was a bit dazed, I was a bit shaky at

:36:42.:36:45.

first, and then I thought, come on, girl, you are a tough one. I never

:36:46.:36:50.

told anyone. I did not want to. I did not want any fuss. Then my

:36:51.:36:54.

brother and sister-in-law came up and said you better report that to

:36:55.:36:59.

the police. Since the attack Maria has put on a brave face and has

:37:00.:37:06.

become a local celebrity. Karate kid is my nickname now! I am a tough one

:37:07.:37:14.

really. But police are treating the incident as a CD is assault. I think

:37:15.:37:20.

it has had a long-lasting impact, more than she gave credit for. I am

:37:21.:37:24.

aware that she has woken in the middle of the night hearing that

:37:25.:37:28.

voice again and obviously the psychological effect is still going

:37:29.:37:31.

on and I think it will affect Maria's quality of life for some

:37:32.:37:36.

time yet. We are appealing for anyone who may have been in the area

:37:37.:37:39.

on the evening of the attack to come forward or anyone with information

:37:40.:37:43.

about this horrific attack, they need to contact us and speak to us.

:37:44.:37:49.

I hope they will get caught. And I hope that they give them a good

:37:50.:37:54.

punishment for it. Some mothers must know who it is. This is one of those

:37:55.:38:00.

things, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, I think.

:38:01.:38:06.

I am joined by Sergeant Jitka Tomkova-Griffiths of Gwent Police.

:38:07.:38:12.

Maria is obviously made of stern stuff but how is she now? Still not

:38:13.:38:17.

back to herself physically, the bruising has taken a long time to

:38:18.:38:22.

heal due to her age budget has not lost her sense of humour which shows

:38:23.:38:27.

how tough she really is! What could have been the motive for this? No

:38:28.:38:32.

motive. Maria went out to post a letter, she did not have a handbag

:38:33.:38:38.

or her purse with her, all she had were her huskies, this was pure

:38:39.:38:41.

reason is endless violence towards an innocent old person, and unusual

:38:42.:38:46.

case, one we are keen to solve. What do we know about these people? Two

:38:47.:38:52.

men and one woman, the woman wearing a red woolly hat and the man who

:38:53.:38:55.

punched Maria wearing a dark tracksuit with white stripes down

:38:56.:38:59.

the side. They were all between 18-25 years old. Where this happened

:39:00.:39:05.

is a quiet place. This doesn't happen. The Ridgeway area of Newport

:39:06.:39:11.

is quiet and has mainly elderly residents so the group were out of

:39:12.:39:15.

their place. We believe because of the way that the attacked and when

:39:16.:39:18.

Maria fought back the likelihood was that their attackers and friends had

:39:19.:39:23.

been talking about this so if anyone knows who is involved we want them

:39:24.:39:27.

to come forward, do the right thing and tell us who did it. Get in touch

:39:28.:39:33.

with any information. Thank you, Jitka, for joining us. If you can

:39:34.:39:38.

help, please call. Just time for a quick update on your calls and how

:39:39.:39:42.

they've helped, lots of you have been in touch about the case

:39:43.:39:46.

yesterday we showed when a woman in Somerset was attacked by a couple

:39:47.:39:50.

who stole her bank card. Some of you have said that you have been victims

:39:51.:39:54.

of the same deception yourself, we still need the names of the couple

:39:55.:39:58.

caught on camera. And last week we showed you the terrifying robbery at

:39:59.:40:03.

the Toby Coventry in Rotherham, two workers held up by robbers with some

:40:04.:40:08.

shotguns, and fax to your calls someone has been arrested. Police

:40:09.:40:11.

say the investigation is still going on. Over the last four weeks we have

:40:12.:40:16.

covered serious crimes and unsolved cases from across the country but

:40:17.:40:21.

the programme macro is also about getting hands on, meeting people on

:40:22.:40:27.

the road and in the studio whose work really makes a difference. And

:40:28.:40:30.

we have had some great fun as well. It's time to catch crooks. This is

:40:31.:40:37.

Crimewatch Roadshow. It's fast. You may have noticed we are standing

:40:38.:40:40.

well back for this demonstration! Who are your friends? Thank you for

:40:41.:40:45.

sleeping all the way through that integrate! -- that interview! I'm

:40:46.:40:59.

not going to fall! Are you going to be all right? I just want to use the

:41:00.:41:04.

four myself what this looks like. Caroline, tell me what I'm looking

:41:05.:41:15.

at. I just need to catch my breath. I can't believe what I just did. It

:41:16.:41:24.

is an embarrassing photo of me! Vehicle fails to stop. Fascinating

:41:25.:41:38.

stuff, let's go back to Michelle. Who thinks she might fancy being a

:41:39.:41:42.

dog handler when you grow up? All of you? Four! Brilliant.

:41:43.:41:56.

An interesting experience, right. I cannot believe what I've just seen.

:41:57.:42:09.

He was driving without tyres. These guys properly intercepted it and my

:42:10.:42:16.

heart is beating. I am in shock. And after covering 1200 miles, bringing

:42:17.:42:22.

you more than 200 appeals from 44 police forces, I have finally made

:42:23.:42:26.

it back to the Crimewatch Roadshow studio. I tell you what, it's been a

:42:27.:42:31.

busy four weeks. How are you doing? You've made it! You have had an

:42:32.:42:40.

action packed for weeks, you highlight? The training we did in

:42:41.:42:48.

Gravesend, with riot police. And it made a difference, detectives

:42:49.:42:51.

telling us they are working on plenty of Leeds with a good number

:42:52.:42:56.

of pieces of information in the bag. And it doesn't stop, you can find

:42:57.:43:00.

all the appeals, reconstructions, and the wanted faces on the website.

:43:01.:43:04.

All available for another fortnight so take a look if you can. But for

:43:05.:43:12.

Crimewatch Roadshow 2016, we will leave you with the Wanted Faces, if

:43:13.:43:17.

you recognise them, you know what to do. Have a great summer. Goodbye!

:43:18.:44:00.

Just when you think you've got it all sorted...

:44:01.:44:02.
