:00:00. > :00:00.I can safely predict that they're going to have a riot.
:00:00. > :00:14.Intriguing, over to you! Thanks, guys, here is a quick look at what
:00:15. > :00:16.else we have on the programme this morning.
:00:17. > :00:19.The latest developments in the Melanie Hall murder investigation.
:00:20. > :00:23.Her parents tell us why they are still hoping for justice. There are
:00:24. > :00:28.people out there know what happened and have not come forward. We would
:00:29. > :00:31.ask they have the moral fibre to find it in them to come forward to
:00:32. > :00:36.help. And find out what dangers lurk along
:00:37. > :00:40.these quiet streets. You're watching Crimewatch Road
:00:41. > :01:06.show. Hello and welcome to Crimewatch road
:01:07. > :01:12.show. We're live every weekday morning looking to solve crimes that
:01:13. > :01:15.can affect us all. Also up: He has fought cancer but Dylon can't
:01:16. > :01:21.recover from having his beloved birds stolen twice in three months.
:01:22. > :01:27.One time was enough but second time, that's just pushing the boundaries!
:01:28. > :01:30.Of course, Michelle is out on the road and today, she and the team
:01:31. > :01:35.have made it to Kent, where they're trying to deal with a spot of
:01:36. > :01:39.trouble. I'm in Gravesend, where officers from the Met are being
:01:40. > :01:44.taught the hard way about dealing with trouble and lots of violence on
:01:45. > :01:46.the streets. If I manage to get away from this gang of troublemakers, I'm
:01:47. > :01:52.hoping to learn some of those survival skills myself. Thanks,
:01:53. > :01:57.Michelle. Tomorrow will mark 20 years to the day since Melanie Hall
:01:58. > :02:04.disappeared after leaving my club in Bath. The 25-year-old --
:02:05. > :02:08.25-year-old's remains were found by workmen in 2005. In a moment, I will
:02:09. > :02:12.speak to the lead detective in the case, who has some new information
:02:13. > :02:15.for us, and we will hear from Melanie's family but first, let her
:02:16. > :02:24.mind you of the investigation so far. -- let's remind you.
:02:25. > :02:27.Millennial has not been since his leaving my club in Bath. Her parents
:02:28. > :02:33.and detectives working on the case believe she was murdered. -- Melanie
:02:34. > :02:37.Hall. It was the case that caught the attention of a nation, young
:02:38. > :02:40.psychology graduate who disappeared without a trace after enjoying a
:02:41. > :02:47.night out with friends at a nightclub in Bath. Melanie's friends
:02:48. > :02:52.and family launched a campaign to find the missing 25-year-old. They
:02:53. > :02:57.made an appeal for the public's help on Crimewatch. Melanie Hall went
:02:58. > :03:04.missing back in June from the centre of Bath, near her home in Wiltshire,
:03:05. > :03:07.and no one is seen since the. She had every thing to look forward to.
:03:08. > :03:11.She was young, attractive, had so much to look forward to in her life,
:03:12. > :03:17.and I'm sure she wouldn't have done this of her own free will. If she is
:03:18. > :03:28.still alive, I would like to just know where she is, so that we can
:03:29. > :03:34.just put our minds at rest. 13 long years past and her family never gave
:03:35. > :03:39.up hope that she would be found to. Until on the 5th of October 2009,
:03:40. > :03:46.workmen clearing undergrowth next to the M5 in South Gloucestershire made
:03:47. > :03:51.a discovery. Melanie's family's worst fears were confirmed. The
:03:52. > :04:04.remains were that of the missing 25-year-old. We had a young, vibrant
:04:05. > :04:10.daughter, happy, with the future in front of her. Today we have a bag of
:04:11. > :04:17.bones discarded on the side of the motorway. It has taken 13 years for
:04:18. > :04:20.us to actually find her and now we're relying very much on everybody
:04:21. > :04:27.to come up with some information to answer our other two questions - who
:04:28. > :04:31.and why? Once again, Crimewatch featured an appeal for information
:04:32. > :04:36.and I went down to the scene to get the latest from detectives on the
:04:37. > :04:42.case. I can show you exactly where the remains were. A postmortem
:04:43. > :04:48.revealed she died from severe head injuries. Despite her ring being
:04:49. > :04:54.found, her clothing was never discovered. A set of Ford car keys
:04:55. > :05:02.were also found just metres away from her remains and, in 2013, there
:05:03. > :05:06.was another Crimewatch appeal, this time of information about a VW Golf
:05:07. > :05:13.which police believe was significant at the time. It has been 20 long
:05:14. > :05:15.years for Melanie's family and despite several significant leads
:05:16. > :05:22.and nine arrests, her killer has never been caught.
:05:23. > :05:26.We're joined by Detective Superintendent Andy Bevan. Welcome
:05:27. > :05:29.to the programme. It is 20 years now since Melanie disappeared. Her
:05:30. > :05:32.killer has not been caught as yet but today you can reveal a
:05:33. > :05:37.significant breakthrough. What is it? That's right. We have DNA
:05:38. > :05:42.evidence on an item that was found at the scene where Melanie's remains
:05:43. > :05:45.were found akin to thousand and nine and we're working closely with
:05:46. > :05:51.forensics scientists to develop that DNA profile. But I believe that will
:05:52. > :05:55.bring us a step closer to finding who was responsible for Melanie's
:05:56. > :06:00.murder, which is what we all want, for Melanie's family, who have had
:06:01. > :06:03.to enjoy 20 years of painting top You've also got some footage you
:06:04. > :06:10.have released for the first time of one of the key locations. Talkers
:06:11. > :06:17.through what we're seeing. This is original CSI footage of the old
:06:18. > :06:21.Cadillac's nightclub in 1996, which will act as a reminder for people
:06:22. > :06:25.who may have been there. What was significant about the night Melanie
:06:26. > :06:29.was out, it was the opening game of the euro 96 football championships,
:06:30. > :06:33.hosted in England, and England drew 1-1 with Switzerland. Many people
:06:34. > :06:37.will remember what they were doing an updated top as we heard,
:06:38. > :06:41.Melanie's clothing was never found but you do have an idea of watching
:06:42. > :06:47.was wearing when she disappeared and we can see examples of that. Melanie
:06:48. > :06:55.was wearing a light blue silk dress and eight cream waste length single
:06:56. > :06:58.breasted jacket and a handbag containing a cheque-book and bank
:06:59. > :07:03.cards. Those items are never been found. Where are they? We need the
:07:04. > :07:06.public 's help with that. Melanie's family have spoken to us about what
:07:07. > :07:11.happened to their daughter 20 years ago. An incident like this is life
:07:12. > :07:18.changing and you are never the same afterwards. She had so many more
:07:19. > :07:22.things to do in life and she has been denied them, which is such a
:07:23. > :07:28.shame. She was very happy and still living here and she'd bring her
:07:29. > :07:37.friends home here, so we were still involved with her life, and she's
:07:38. > :07:41.left a very big gap. We are still appealing for members of the public
:07:42. > :07:45.to come forward with information. There are two things that are going
:07:46. > :07:51.to solve this case, maybe singly or maybe in combination. One is the
:07:52. > :07:54.continuous development of forensic science, as we've seen in the
:07:55. > :08:01.Melanie Road case, but also, people out there know what happened and
:08:02. > :08:04.might come forward. -- won't come forward. That may be through loyalty
:08:05. > :08:08.or fear. More than one person may know what happened but we would just
:08:09. > :08:13.ask that they have the moral fibre to find it in them to come forward
:08:14. > :08:16.and help us. You can see there, her family clearly haven't given up hope
:08:17. > :08:19.that her killer would be caught and as we saw a few weeks ago with the
:08:20. > :08:24.conviction of Christopher Hampton for Melanie Road's murder, which
:08:25. > :08:28.dates back to 1984, DNA evidence can help with these historical cases.
:08:29. > :08:32.That is the hope that we have with this investigation, that the DNA
:08:33. > :08:34.will bring us a step closer. But what was significant about the
:08:35. > :08:39.Christopher Hampton case is that he lead a normal life within the
:08:40. > :08:43.community, respected by people. That could be the same with the person or
:08:44. > :08:48.persons responsible for Melanie Hall's murder. So I would urge
:08:49. > :08:52.anyone with any information, any suspicions or who actually know who
:08:53. > :08:56.is responsible, now was a time to call us. Please come forward.
:08:57. > :08:58.Someone out there may have information and if they needed any
:08:59. > :09:03.more incentive to come forward and give that to the police, there is a
:09:04. > :09:08.reward. That's right. Crimestoppers have reinstated a ?10,000 reward for
:09:09. > :09:12.information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or
:09:13. > :09:18.persons responsible for Melanie's murder. So far, the people of Bath
:09:19. > :09:20.and the wider community have been absolutely fantastic with the
:09:21. > :09:25.information that they've been providing to us over the 20 years.
:09:26. > :09:31.We need more information. Please come forward. Thank you. If you have
:09:32. > :09:35.any information, as you've heard, please come across and give that to
:09:36. > :09:39.us now. The number is on screen or if you prefer, you can call
:09:40. > :09:45.Crimestoppers anonymously. Michelle...
:09:46. > :09:48.It's all quiet here now but at this specialist training centre, you
:09:49. > :09:51.never know what lies around the corner and for the officers that
:09:52. > :09:57.train here, that's exactly the point.
:09:58. > :10:05.No, this is not a post-apocalyptic film set and it's certainly not your
:10:06. > :10:09.average high-street. 30 miles from central London, this is the Met's
:10:10. > :10:17.specialist training centre in Gravesend.
:10:18. > :10:23.This is one of the best facilities in Europe, if not around the world.
:10:24. > :10:27.It has been open now for about 13 years so we are well used to the
:10:28. > :10:30.site. You are going to see a variety of officers from different stages of
:10:31. > :10:33.their career and you're going to see them learning the basics of public
:10:34. > :10:38.order training and then consolidating their two dess'
:10:39. > :10:41.training into an incident at the end where, hopefully, it will all come
:10:42. > :10:45.together and it will all work, but we shall wait and see. Police
:10:46. > :10:51.constables to commanders from across the force come here to learn how to
:10:52. > :10:59.deal with public disorder. From crowd control to peaceful protest,
:11:00. > :11:03.to a full on riot, here they tackle it all, but not all officers make
:11:04. > :11:06.the grade, especially when they face-to-face with these feisty
:11:07. > :11:11.rioters, who are played training officers. Providing back-up and
:11:12. > :11:18.proving once again that they really are a man's best friend is the dog
:11:19. > :11:21.support unit. They work in a group of six dogs and a sergeant
:11:22. > :11:27.controlling and they will always have the support of others. We would
:11:28. > :11:32.leave the dogs at the front. If we take up ground, it is like a
:11:33. > :11:36.leapfrogging process. The dogs are brilliant at public order, very
:11:37. > :11:40.dynamic, very visually impacted and on that basis, they tend to be able
:11:41. > :11:44.to do the work of a couple of units. Will move back because, obviously,
:11:45. > :11:53.you can't talk to the dog and if you do, the dog don't listen. -- people
:11:54. > :11:56.will move back. Officers have to think on their feet. Every scenario
:11:57. > :12:00.that can be practised is done here to give them the best chance of
:12:01. > :12:07.successfully dealing with any disorder in reality. In this case,
:12:08. > :12:12.keeping people from breaking through a barricade. But those shields over
:12:13. > :12:17.the barricades, facing forwards. Facing forwards aggressively,
:12:18. > :12:21.shouting out the warnings. You might use barriers to guide people down a
:12:22. > :12:25.certain route, you might use barriers to protect off a street or
:12:26. > :12:28.to protect the building. It might be that there is sensitive stuff behind
:12:29. > :12:33.it or it might be to keep opposing groups apart so there isn't any
:12:34. > :12:40.further violence. Remember, it is not our job to have a battle with
:12:41. > :12:44.the crowds. It is to hold an area. Thousands of officers from all areas
:12:45. > :12:48.of the Met come here to train every year, making sure they're ready for
:12:49. > :12:55.anything, including offering front-line medical assistance. It's
:12:56. > :12:59.really important because whether the officers get injured or members of
:13:00. > :13:04.the public, for us, when we're there, the public expect us to be
:13:05. > :13:06.able to deal with and treat but the primary responsible as divorce to
:13:07. > :13:09.the ambulance service and the hospitals but we will fill that gap
:13:10. > :13:17.until we can get them to their attention. What we're going to do
:13:18. > :13:21.now is practised tactics with the mounted branch, so these are done in
:13:22. > :13:24.two phases, passive and active. The first one is passive, where the
:13:25. > :13:27.horses will come up and show themselves to the crowd and the
:13:28. > :13:30.police unit is in front, the police unit will split and the waters
:13:31. > :13:39.rushed forward and take up some ground and then the police unit will
:13:40. > :13:43.come back and take up the ground. -- the horses rushed forward. This
:13:44. > :13:49.training is really useful because means we get to work with units that
:13:50. > :13:53.we don't normally get to work with, horses, also to different units. It
:13:54. > :14:00.provides an interesting way to look at public order. Managing the
:14:01. > :14:05.hostile crowd is one of the biggest challenges facing the police and for
:14:06. > :14:10.the last exercise of the day, all units come together in the most
:14:11. > :14:15.realistic scenario yet. They use all they've learned as all hell breaks
:14:16. > :14:18.loose. The task force organise themselves to cover and hold their
:14:19. > :14:31.ground as the rioters attack from every angle. When needed, the dog
:14:32. > :14:37.support unit is called in to push the rioters back and re-gain ground.
:14:38. > :14:40.And the horses, who aren't so passive this time, charge up the
:14:41. > :14:49.crowd, forcing them to separate and dispersed. -- charge at the crowd.
:14:50. > :14:52.It was a very tough day. Worked with horses, with the dog unit, being
:14:53. > :14:58.petrol bombs, so I've been through quite a lot today. It takes it out
:14:59. > :15:02.of you. You don't realise what muscle groups you are using as you
:15:03. > :15:09.are working throughout the dated top hard work but it is definitely worth
:15:10. > :15:12.it. -- throughout the day. As you saw there, the officers here are
:15:13. > :15:16.fully prepared to deal with all sorts of disorder but even though
:15:17. > :15:21.they do their utmost to control the disorder, they still need your help
:15:22. > :15:26.in identifying the people involved. Joining me now is DS Neil Gunn from
:15:27. > :15:30.the Metropolitan Police and he needs your help identifying people
:15:31. > :15:36.involved in some violence at a football match. Welcome. Talk me
:15:37. > :15:43.through what happened. This is a game of football that took place
:15:44. > :15:50.about a week and a half ago at Wembley between Barnsley and
:15:51. > :15:56.Millwall. Barnsley 131-macro and a section of the crowd in the stadium
:15:57. > :16:02.ended up fighting with each other. We can see some CCTV footage. What
:16:03. > :16:05.are we watching? What starts as physical confrontation and taunting
:16:06. > :16:11.between Franz escalates into violence, including punches being
:16:12. > :16:24.thrown. Incidence of spitting between fans. Sadly, the seats being
:16:25. > :16:29.ripped up and used as missiles. The security team are right in the thick
:16:30. > :16:34.of it, was anybody heard? Thankfully not, the security teams did an
:16:35. > :16:39.incredible job, given what they were confronted with. It could have been
:16:40. > :16:48.a lot worse. It was in the high as part of the stadium. It is a small
:16:49. > :16:53.minority of people? There were about 50,000 people who attended this game
:16:54. > :16:57.and this is a few dozen people in an isolated part of the stadium who
:16:58. > :17:01.just ruin the reputation of the clubs but everybody. I would like to
:17:02. > :17:07.say we are working closely with Millwall, Barnsley, the foot ball
:17:08. > :17:12.league and the Football Association to identify these people, get them
:17:13. > :17:18.arrested and keep them away from grounds. It isn't the sort of
:17:19. > :17:23.environment we want our kids to go to. We don't see these incidents in
:17:24. > :17:27.English football any more, but once or twice is too many.
:17:28. > :17:29.And here are some of those faces again?
:17:30. > :17:32.If you were at wembley that day and recognise any of these
:17:33. > :17:34.people then get in touch via the numbers on screen,
:17:35. > :17:37.all the images of the people police are looking to
:17:38. > :17:43.identify will be available on the met website shortly.
:17:44. > :17:49.The broken hearted schoolboy who had his bird collection
:17:50. > :18:01.It is really sad having to come back in here, I really loved them.
:18:02. > :18:03.And can you name the thug who carried out a terrifying
:18:04. > :18:15.I had a lot of freedom, I would go anywhere, at any time, but now I am
:18:16. > :18:18.more cautious and I have had my freedom taken away from me.
:18:19. > :18:21.But first, we need you to look closely at today's selection
:18:22. > :18:35.It is December 2013 and two crooks get on the number 13 bus. They
:18:36. > :18:40.exchange choice words with people at the bus stop, but look at one of
:18:41. > :18:46.them is holding... A suspected pipe bomb. They travelled to Donegal
:18:47. > :18:50.Square West where they get off the double-decker bus five minutes
:18:51. > :18:57.later. Police say they crossed the road, where one of them throws a
:18:58. > :19:03.pipe down a side street, next to the branch of a major European bank. But
:19:04. > :19:10.it lays unnoticed in Wellington Street for an hour, before the men
:19:11. > :19:14.return and they pick it up. They appear to show the objective
:19:15. > :19:19.passers-by before he places it against the wall by a skip and walks
:19:20. > :19:24.off. Detect it said the copper pipe was found by bank staff the next
:19:25. > :19:28.morning and triggered a security operation. It turns out it was a
:19:29. > :19:31.hoax, but police are treating this as a serious offence. Do you
:19:32. > :19:45.recognise either of them? We need your help. Be a diamond and tell us
:19:46. > :19:50.if you know this leaf and his companion. Posing as customers, they
:19:51. > :19:55.visit a Guildford store in March last year and ask to see some rings.
:19:56. > :20:00.An assistant Les two trays of sparklers on the table, and the
:20:01. > :20:04.woman tries them on. While the assistant is distracted, police said
:20:05. > :20:11.the man reaches over with his right hand and takes two rings from the
:20:12. > :20:16.trade nearest to him. He hides them in his fist until the assistant
:20:17. > :20:20.isn't looking, then puts them in his wallet. Eventually, they make their
:20:21. > :20:27.excuses and leave with ?11,000 worth of RB dazzlers. The couple both
:20:28. > :20:30.spoke with Eastern European accents. Names, please.
:20:31. > :20:32.If you recognised anyone, get on the phone now.
:20:33. > :20:37.Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones.
:20:38. > :20:41.Text CW, space and then your message.
:20:42. > :20:44.Texts will be charged at your standard message rate.
:20:45. > :20:46.Let's head back to Gravesend in Kent.
:20:47. > :20:53.Michelle, looks like it's all kicking off there!
:20:54. > :20:58.We've seen how full on the training is here and I'm now going
:20:59. > :21:06.The officers here are training to move through dangerous crowds.
:21:07. > :21:09.Sgt Adam Nash is the head instructor.
:21:10. > :21:21.We move through dense crowds, whether it is to rescue somebody,
:21:22. > :21:31.arrest somebody get through dense people from one area to another. In
:21:32. > :21:37.this scenario, there is a threat so we are in protective equipment is,
:21:38. > :21:41.so it is to protect them from getting pushed about. What kind of
:21:42. > :21:46.real-life situations, what kind of scenarios? Major sporting events,
:21:47. > :21:51.one of the biggest one is at Notting Hill Carnival, the new Year's Eve
:21:52. > :21:57.celebrations in central London. I can see these big handbags just
:21:58. > :22:06.behind us, what are they for? To replicate a person. They weigh the
:22:07. > :22:12.same as a grown adult. When they are swinging their replicate the moving
:22:13. > :22:19.of a crowd. So it is as a realistic situation as we can get it. What
:22:20. > :22:25.will happen? You would jump at the front, go with the officers into the
:22:26. > :22:29.simulated crowd. There is a subject they will arrest. You will be the
:22:30. > :22:35.arresting officer, you will be at the front so I will see you on the
:22:36. > :22:39.other side. See you on the other side, Adam. Visor down. Visor down,
:22:40. > :23:03.let's go. Forward! How was that? Pretty intense. When
:23:04. > :23:08.you are in there, you get the full extent, you need a lot of strength.
:23:09. > :23:13.Thanks for giving me an insight. Keep it nice and tight and you
:23:14. > :23:18.always get through. Join me later, my training isn't over yet.
:23:19. > :23:20.Now it's time for a look at today's Wanted Faces.
:23:21. > :23:22.Police forces around the country are asking for your
:23:23. > :23:27.Starting with Martin Michael Ward, although you may know him
:23:28. > :23:32.He's 38 but also claims to be 34, 36 and 42!
:23:33. > :23:34.He's wanted for questioning by detectives in Greater Manchester
:23:35. > :23:37.after a pensioner was assaulted in her own home
:23:38. > :23:41.Ward has an Irish accent, with links to County Galway,
:23:42. > :23:46.He has a tattoo of the name Tash on his neck.
:23:47. > :23:51.Detectives from the Met want to speak to him about the kidnap,
:23:52. > :23:53.assault and robbery of a man earlier this year.
:23:54. > :23:56.Islam is 22 and has a gold upper tooth.
:23:57. > :23:58.He has links to Newham in London, Sunderland, Newcastle,
:23:59. > :24:06.He was convicted of child sex offences in Romania,
:24:07. > :24:08.jailed for three years and placed on the sex offenders' register.
:24:09. > :24:11.After coming to the UK, he's failed to let the authorities
:24:12. > :24:14.here know where he is living and has therefore broken his conditions.
:24:15. > :24:17.He's 61 and with a Romanian accent, and has links
:24:18. > :24:24.He also works as a computer programmer or engineer.
:24:25. > :24:27.And finally we have 22-year-old Mitchell Slevin.
:24:28. > :24:30.Detectives in Lancashire want to question him about an attack
:24:31. > :24:34.in which a man had a chemical sprayed in his face.
:24:35. > :24:36.Slevin has links to Manchester and Conwy in North Wales,
:24:37. > :24:41.Call and text using the numbers on screen if you know
:24:42. > :24:59.Now, let's go back to Michelle in Gravesend. It is all well and good
:25:00. > :25:03.training the crowd control but what about getting the officers to the
:25:04. > :25:07.crowds in the first place. Vehicles play an integral part in their
:25:08. > :25:12.training. Good morning. Adam, what is so special about these? They are
:25:13. > :25:16.purpose-built for dealing with the big order situations. They can't
:25:17. > :25:19.protect it, they have a scream at the front to protect the glass,
:25:20. > :25:25.storage for Shields and equipment. Her spec windows at the side. If
:25:26. > :25:33.there is any paint thrown on the window screen, it can clean it off
:25:34. > :25:38.and moves officers from a to B as quickly as possible. What situations
:25:39. > :25:44.do you use this for normally? You will see these on the streets of
:25:45. > :25:47.London every day of the week, demonstrations, sporting events.
:25:48. > :25:52.Where there is a large body of people going around and we are there
:25:53. > :25:57.to make sure it is safe. Let's do the demonstration, you are going to
:25:58. > :26:01.show me how it is done. Yes, we will go round the corner now and deal
:26:02. > :26:18.with what is in front of us. Taking our position, there is
:26:19. > :26:36.obviously disorder going on. Going forwards. They get in position
:26:37. > :26:47.to start pushing everybody back. They make the defences. Positioning
:26:48. > :26:53.is very important? It is working as a team and as a unit to do things
:26:54. > :27:00.dynamically. It is interesting to see how it works in action. Rav, if
:27:01. > :27:03.he thought that was impressive, join me later, there is a lot more to
:27:04. > :27:07.come. I will look forward to that. Next, can you help Kent Police track
:27:08. > :27:22.down the man who attacked a teenage I have lived here since I was born.
:27:23. > :27:30.Growing up, not many kids to play with because we are in the middle of
:27:31. > :27:34.nowhere. But it was fun, climbing trees and stuff. 18-year-old Millie
:27:35. > :27:40.Godfrey is studying animal care and lives with her family in Chartham in
:27:41. > :27:47.Kent. Mostly just messing about with my friends. That is all I get up to.
:27:48. > :27:52.Whilst living in the countryside has its in means she has to travel
:27:53. > :27:56.further afield to see her friends on Thursday the 14th of April, Millie
:27:57. > :28:03.had been to college and then headed to see some friends in Canterbury.
:28:04. > :28:08.As usual, she got the train back and began her 15 minute walk home just
:28:09. > :28:13.before 11 p.m.. Henry Winter took her along the main road. During the
:28:14. > :28:20.day, the A28 can be busy, but at night, it can be lonely. It is not
:28:21. > :28:28.the nicest of walk when it is dark, there are no lights. That night,
:28:29. > :28:38.Millie had more than the dark to be scared of. I had my headphones on
:28:39. > :28:48.and I hear anything. I was completely oblivious that someone
:28:49. > :28:54.was following me. I got about halfway, where the graveyard is.
:28:55. > :29:02.Right before it happened, I knew somebody was behind me. But it was
:29:03. > :29:06.too late. A man came up behind her, pushing her to the ground. He then
:29:07. > :29:14.viciously attacked her. He punched me in the face, just kept going. He
:29:15. > :29:20.dragged her into the cemetery and carried on hitting her. Then he
:29:21. > :29:28.strangled me. I thought I was going to die. He wasn't stopping. After
:29:29. > :29:34.attacking her, the man got up and calmly walked away. I left my bag
:29:35. > :29:39.where it was, left everything and run. Desperate for help, Millie
:29:40. > :29:46.headed for the nearest house. I climbed over the fence. Help, please
:29:47. > :29:52.let me in. Help! They were shocked as well, because my face was
:29:53. > :29:59.obviously pretty bad. The police want to know who left Millie with
:30:00. > :30:03.these terrible injuries. It is an unusual assaults, no items were
:30:04. > :30:06.taken from Millie. She was taken into a secluded area and was
:30:07. > :30:12.violently assaulted. Millie should have been able to walk home safe in
:30:13. > :30:18.the village she lives. We don't want this to happen to anybody else. And
:30:19. > :30:22.for Millie, the independence she enjoyed has been lost. My sister
:30:23. > :30:29.will drive me home now instead of getting the train. I am OK, as long
:30:30. > :30:34.as I am with people. When I am alone, I don't like it. Any small
:30:35. > :30:39.sign, I think somebody is in the house or somebody is following me. I
:30:40. > :30:44.had a lot of freedom, I would go anywhere and any time. Now I am more
:30:45. > :30:48.cautious than I was before. It is like my freedom has been taken away
:30:49. > :30:56.from me. The experience has had a big impact
:30:57. > :31:00.on Millie. I'm joined by DC Shelah Thompson. How is Millie? We saw in
:31:01. > :31:05.the film that she suffered quite serious injuries. Millie's injuries
:31:06. > :31:09.have healed well but she is still scared to go out on her own and she
:31:10. > :31:14.shouldn't be feeling that weighted top Where exactly in Chartham did
:31:15. > :31:19.this happen? On the edge of chart is the train station. Millie has got
:31:20. > :31:24.off the train and walked towards her home address. She's walked along the
:31:25. > :31:27.A28 towards Ashford and as she has reached the cemetery, she has been
:31:28. > :31:31.grabbed and pulled into the car park. The person that has grabbed
:31:32. > :31:34.her, we believe, has come from the same direction as Millie and then
:31:35. > :31:41.has run off back towards the train station. Was there anyone else
:31:42. > :31:43.around that evening? We know from Millie there was definitely someone
:31:44. > :31:46.else around. Jailed Nolan got off the train at the same time as
:31:47. > :31:49.Herbert Millie states he walked off in opposite direction. We believe he
:31:50. > :31:57.could have witnessed something and could hold vital information. There
:31:58. > :32:00.is CCTV image from the local farm, which is a poor quality, but the
:32:01. > :32:05.person was around at the time of the assault and we believe he could have
:32:06. > :32:09.witnessed something. Do we have any more details about a suspect?
:32:10. > :32:13.Unfortunately, we have very limited details of the suspect themselves.
:32:14. > :32:17.Millie was grabbed from behind and all she can tell us if they had a
:32:18. > :32:23.dark Deon with the hood up the whole time. Thanks very much. -- a dark
:32:24. > :32:27.body on. For many of us, pets can help lift
:32:28. > :32:32.our spirits when we are feeling down and that was certainly the case for
:32:33. > :32:34.young Dylon who is recovering from cancer. Imagine his devastation when
:32:35. > :32:44.the thieves targeted the very thing that helped his recovery.
:32:45. > :32:52.Dylon was just five years old when he was diagnosed with cancer. I
:32:53. > :32:57.really can't remember too much, other than her saying, "They've
:32:58. > :33:04.found a tumour". I was inconsolable. It still hurts to this day. He did
:33:05. > :33:11.ask if he was going to die. We said, "Not if we can help it". During a
:33:12. > :33:16.respite holiday with his family, Dylon visited an aviary and that's
:33:17. > :33:25.where his love of birds started. The birds gave him comfort. It was his
:33:26. > :33:29.pets. He loved them. The family bought a bird for each step of his
:33:30. > :33:37.journey to recovery and Dylon formed a real bond with them. Every part of
:33:38. > :33:41.the cancer that I had, one would be the operation, I would get a couple
:33:42. > :33:45.for them, and every single part would be a bird. First was all the
:33:46. > :33:51.yellow ones and a couple of black and grey once. The last one we got
:33:52. > :33:57.was a white and red one. What I really like the most is when I come
:33:58. > :33:59.up to play football with my brother, they would be chirping and you think
:34:00. > :34:14.of it as the crowd going wild. On the 21st of March, the Osborne
:34:15. > :34:19.is' garden was broken into. Tragically, all of Dylon's birds
:34:20. > :34:22.were stolen. I was really heartbroken, devastated. I was
:34:23. > :34:29.allowed to swear and, trust me, I did swear really badly. It was just
:34:30. > :34:34.the hardest thing, to watch him lose them. He used to come out and feed
:34:35. > :34:38.them, play out here. He would often be at the aviary pretending to
:34:39. > :34:42.tweets to them. The birds had been a real comfort to Dylon through his
:34:43. > :34:46.illness, so after the theft join replaced them and tried to make the
:34:47. > :34:52.garden and aviary as secure as possible. We added an alarm to the
:34:53. > :35:00.shed, we added a security light. We thought we'd made the garden secure.
:35:01. > :35:05.But those are security measures weren't enough. Just a month later,
:35:06. > :35:15.thieves struck again and Dylon's birds were taken for a second time.
:35:16. > :35:20.I was like, "Wow, no, we've been burgled again! They've cut our roof
:35:21. > :35:25.out of the aviary". They work passing them out into their bird
:35:26. > :35:30.carrying box. This time, Dylon found it even harder to deal with the loss
:35:31. > :35:36.of his birds. Want I was enough but second time, that's just pushing the
:35:37. > :35:39.boundaries! -- one time was enough. Dylon cried three to four hours
:35:40. > :35:43.without stopping. They won't sleep in their rooms, they are both in our
:35:44. > :35:48.room. It's hard because from my perspective, he's been through
:35:49. > :35:51.enough. Whilst they would love to get more birds, Dylon's mum is
:35:52. > :35:57.worried about the impact a further theft could have on her son. Dylon
:35:58. > :36:00.is desperate to have the Avery repaired and haven't refilled. But I
:36:01. > :36:03.don't know if I could put him through it again. I've watched my
:36:04. > :36:06.son have a life-threatening condition, come through that,
:36:07. > :36:10.they've come back and stolen the birds again. Can I put him through
:36:11. > :36:20.it a third time? I don't know. Somebody in Sittingbourne knows
:36:21. > :36:24.something. I love them. Just a horrible thing to happen to
:36:25. > :36:29.Dylon. These are just two of the birds that were stolen and in total,
:36:30. > :36:32.he had 40 birds taken from his aviary. These included canaries and
:36:33. > :36:35.zebra finches and it's thought they may have been sold on as pets
:36:36. > :36:39.locally, so if you know anything that might help, please get in
:36:40. > :36:44.touch. Sadly, but that is more, Man U might think. Take a look at these
:36:45. > :36:49.fellas. Their older brother Kevin was stolen earlier this year. Mark
:36:50. > :36:52.Birdsall is from the Baytree Owl Centre, where the thieves struck,
:36:53. > :36:54.and PC Mark Goulding is an environmental crime specialist from
:36:55. > :37:00.South Wales Police. Good morning to you both. You have three babies
:37:01. > :37:03.here, baby owls, but you were targeted by thieves yourself where
:37:04. > :37:08.their brother was stolen. What happened? We have quite an extensive
:37:09. > :37:12.collection of owls at the centre and on the 15th of the breed, we arrived
:37:13. > :37:19.at the centre to find one of the aviary doors wide open. -- 15th of
:37:20. > :37:23.February. We found the sibling to this, who would have been ten years
:37:24. > :37:26.old this year, and he was bred at the centre all those years ago and
:37:27. > :37:31.has been a fairly major part of the display team for many years. So it
:37:32. > :37:36.has been quite devastating that somebody has broken in and pinched
:37:37. > :37:40.the owl. This is the older one. We were training him up to be a major
:37:41. > :37:44.part of the flying display team at the centre and unfortunately, we
:37:45. > :37:49.haven't had... We've had a lot of people phone up. Everyday people ask
:37:50. > :37:53.us about whether we've found him. We have a lot of sightings of people
:37:54. > :37:57.finding and seeing birds but unfortunately, we haven't had any
:37:58. > :38:00.ultimate findings. These are just about four weeks old but you want to
:38:01. > :38:04.stress that they are not just pets, they need specialist care, and you
:38:05. > :38:09.are worried about the welfare of the bird. Very much so. We don't have a
:38:10. > :38:13.lot of licensing and regulation on keeping birds of prey in captivity
:38:14. > :38:17.in this country as it is and some species are more delicate than
:38:18. > :38:21.others. Great owls are very cold climate species so they struggle
:38:22. > :38:26.even here in the studio. These guys are little bit warm. It is quite
:38:27. > :38:29.chilly in here but these guys still get stressed from overheating quite
:38:30. > :38:33.quickly so in the wrong hands, there is a good chance that we might not
:38:34. > :38:36.see them again -- see him again because he is already dead at the
:38:37. > :38:40.assembly has taken him and doesn't know how to look after him. PC Mark
:38:41. > :38:45.Golding, how common is this type of crime? The theft of captive birds
:38:46. > :38:51.does occur, however what is much more common, unfortunately, is the
:38:52. > :38:59.theft of our British wild birds, particularly eggs and their chicks,
:39:00. > :39:02.and they are systematically being persecuted through poisoning,
:39:03. > :39:07.strapping and shooting. What can the public to do help? There are some
:39:08. > :39:10.things we could ask them to do. It is the nesting season right now and
:39:11. > :39:15.we would very much like them to be looking out for something unusual,
:39:16. > :39:19.perhaps a dead pigeon on the ground, perhaps an oily substance on it,
:39:20. > :39:25.something like a pesticide can be used to poison the birds. So I would
:39:26. > :39:30.ask them to lookout for that. Suspicious traps. And particularly
:39:31. > :39:36.any activity up on a rock face, a nest, perhaps, adults squawking,
:39:37. > :39:39.looking distressed, give us a call. You also want to mention that
:39:40. > :39:43.although most police forces do have a specialist unit which looks into
:39:44. > :39:47.this, any police force would want to hear from people if they have
:39:48. > :39:51.concerns. Patiently but. Absolutely not. They shouldn't be put off and
:39:52. > :39:54.with regard to the great Grey owl, if anybody has seen an hour like
:39:55. > :40:00.that, we would be interested to hear from them. Absolutely. Thank you
:40:01. > :40:03.both, and you three, for joining us. Fingers crossed, someone watching
:40:04. > :40:11.can return Keven Mealamu is home. Now let's go back to Michelle, who
:40:12. > :40:15.is facing the ultimate test. -- return Kevin back to his home.
:40:16. > :40:19.I'm feeling quite nervous about this. This is the last part of my
:40:20. > :40:23.training. On one side we've got the protesters, on the other side we've
:40:24. > :40:28.got all our officers poised and ready to go, both of them looking
:40:29. > :40:32.quite intimidating. Adam, please can you talk me through how this is all
:40:33. > :40:36.going to work? The officers are going to move down, looking to take
:40:37. > :40:43.control of the street and get background, so they are moving in
:40:44. > :40:47.shield formation, coming down. OK. I just can't believe what I'm seeing
:40:48. > :40:51.here and that I'm going to be involved in this. Does this
:40:52. > :40:55.situation happen often? It is a really rare occurrence, which is
:40:56. > :40:58.fortunate, but we've got to train with officers to deal with these
:40:59. > :41:03.situations. It is something we have to do to train them but it is very
:41:04. > :41:08.rare. The gear is important to keep you safe. How does it keep you safe?
:41:09. > :41:14.It's got limb protection so it stops any bruising or blunt injuries. The
:41:15. > :41:18.overalls of flame retardant and the helmet protects your head, with the
:41:19. > :41:28.visor. I'd better get in there. Thank you very much. Face the front.
:41:29. > :41:40.OK. Just wait for it now, Michelle. Foreword! You're good, you're good.
:41:41. > :41:51.Keep going. Stay front, Michelle. We're good. You're all right. Sorry.
:41:52. > :41:59.Standstill. You're OK, you're good, you're good. Keep breathing. Your
:42:00. > :42:11.fine. ,, Michelle. Up you come. Keep breathing. You are fine. Off you go.
:42:12. > :42:18.Bags very much, guys. Sorry, I just need to catch my breath. Eye contact
:42:19. > :42:22.and believe what I've just... Rav, you know what? I'm sure you're far
:42:23. > :42:25.more experienced in these situations than me. This is the first time I've
:42:26. > :42:32.done it and I still can't believe I've done it. How did you find it?
:42:33. > :42:35.Well, I'll let you into a little secret, Michelle, you are not alone.
:42:36. > :42:39.I've done that several times and every time you come out of it
:42:40. > :42:46.feeling like you've done 12 rounds with David Haye, so well done. It
:42:47. > :42:50.was absolutely brilliant! Banks, rather. I'm going to head
:42:51. > :42:57.back and finish off this training. -- thanks, Rav.
:42:58. > :43:01.Have a well earned cup of tea! Well done from all of us. I've just got
:43:02. > :43:05.time to view a quick update on how your calls are making a difference.
:43:06. > :43:09.You may remember yesterday, we showed you the outrageous case of
:43:10. > :43:13.Dougie. He was the man who had cerebral palsy and he was robbed in
:43:14. > :43:22.a lift of his gold chain and someone stole his food to, in a lift it up
:43:23. > :43:28.we had a lot of calls and police say they are following up those leads as
:43:29. > :43:31.we speak, including one very strong sounding leads. Keep those calls and
:43:32. > :43:35.texts and e-mails coming in. They really do make a difference. Let's
:43:36. > :43:37.find out where Michelle is going to be tomorrow and if it is a little
:43:38. > :43:41.less dangerous! Tomorrow I'm going to be having to
:43:42. > :43:44.Hertfordshire to investigate the growing problem of night hawking.
:43:45. > :43:48.You've got these rogue metal detector wrists heading out in the
:43:49. > :43:52.middle of the night hunting for artefacts that belong to other
:43:53. > :44:03.people. For now, I think I need to get out of this year! I'll see you
:44:04. > :44:08.tomorrow. -- gear. For more information on all of our
:44:09. > :44:13.crimes, visit our website but 30 is another look at as a's most wanted
:44:14. > :44:16.faces. If you know where they are, give us a call. We will be back
:44:17. > :44:21.tomorrow but until then, take care.
