I can safely predict that they're going to have a riot. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Intriguing, over to you! Thanks, guys, here is a quick look at what | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
else we have on the programme this morning. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
The latest developments in the Melanie Hall murder investigation. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Her parents tell us why they are still hoping for justice. There are | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
people out there know what happened and have not come forward. We would | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
ask they have the moral fibre to find it in them to come forward to | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
help. And find out what dangers lurk along | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
these quiet streets. You're watching Crimewatch Road | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
show. Hello and welcome to Crimewatch road | :00:41. | :01:06. | |
show. We're live every weekday morning looking to solve crimes that | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
can affect us all. Also up: He has fought cancer but Dylon can't | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
recover from having his beloved birds stolen twice in three months. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
One time was enough but second time, that's just pushing the boundaries! | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
Of course, Michelle is out on the road and today, she and the team | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
have made it to Kent, where they're trying to deal with a spot of | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
trouble. I'm in Gravesend, where officers from the Met are being | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
taught the hard way about dealing with trouble and lots of violence on | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
the streets. If I manage to get away from this gang of troublemakers, I'm | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
hoping to learn some of those survival skills myself. Thanks, | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
Michelle. Tomorrow will mark 20 years to the day since Melanie Hall | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
disappeared after leaving my club in Bath. The 25-year-old -- | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
25-year-old's remains were found by workmen in 2005. In a moment, I will | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
speak to the lead detective in the case, who has some new information | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
for us, and we will hear from Melanie's family but first, let her | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
mind you of the investigation so far. -- let's remind you. | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
Millennial has not been since his leaving my club in Bath. Her parents | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
and detectives working on the case believe she was murdered. -- Melanie | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
Hall. It was the case that caught the attention of a nation, young | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
psychology graduate who disappeared without a trace after enjoying a | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
night out with friends at a nightclub in Bath. Melanie's friends | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
and family launched a campaign to find the missing 25-year-old. They | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
made an appeal for the public's help on Crimewatch. Melanie Hall went | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
missing back in June from the centre of Bath, near her home in Wiltshire, | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
and no one is seen since the. She had every thing to look forward to. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
She was young, attractive, had so much to look forward to in her life, | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
and I'm sure she wouldn't have done this of her own free will. If she is | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
still alive, I would like to just know where she is, so that we can | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
just put our minds at rest. 13 long years past and her family never gave | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
up hope that she would be found to. Until on the 5th of October 2009, | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
workmen clearing undergrowth next to the M5 in South Gloucestershire made | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
a discovery. Melanie's family's worst fears were confirmed. The | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
remains were that of the missing 25-year-old. We had a young, vibrant | :03:52. | :04:04. | |
daughter, happy, with the future in front of her. Today we have a bag of | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
bones discarded on the side of the motorway. It has taken 13 years for | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
us to actually find her and now we're relying very much on everybody | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
to come up with some information to answer our other two questions - who | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
and why? Once again, Crimewatch featured an appeal for information | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
and I went down to the scene to get the latest from detectives on the | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
case. I can show you exactly where the remains were. A postmortem | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
revealed she died from severe head injuries. Despite her ring being | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
found, her clothing was never discovered. A set of Ford car keys | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
were also found just metres away from her remains and, in 2013, there | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
was another Crimewatch appeal, this time of information about a VW Golf | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
which police believe was significant at the time. It has been 20 long | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
years for Melanie's family and despite several significant leads | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
and nine arrests, her killer has never been caught. | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
We're joined by Detective Superintendent Andy Bevan. Welcome | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
to the programme. It is 20 years now since Melanie disappeared. Her | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
killer has not been caught as yet but today you can reveal a | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
significant breakthrough. What is it? That's right. We have DNA | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
evidence on an item that was found at the scene where Melanie's remains | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
were found akin to thousand and nine and we're working closely with | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
forensics scientists to develop that DNA profile. But I believe that will | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
bring us a step closer to finding who was responsible for Melanie's | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
murder, which is what we all want, for Melanie's family, who have had | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
to enjoy 20 years of painting top You've also got some footage you | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
have released for the first time of one of the key locations. Talkers | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
through what we're seeing. This is original CSI footage of the old | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
Cadillac's nightclub in 1996, which will act as a reminder for people | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
who may have been there. What was significant about the night Melanie | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
was out, it was the opening game of the euro 96 football championships, | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
hosted in England, and England drew 1-1 with Switzerland. Many people | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
will remember what they were doing an updated top as we heard, | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
Melanie's clothing was never found but you do have an idea of watching | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
was wearing when she disappeared and we can see examples of that. Melanie | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
was wearing a light blue silk dress and eight cream waste length single | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
breasted jacket and a handbag containing a cheque-book and bank | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
cards. Those items are never been found. Where are they? We need the | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
public 's help with that. Melanie's family have spoken to us about what | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
happened to their daughter 20 years ago. An incident like this is life | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
changing and you are never the same afterwards. She had so many more | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
things to do in life and she has been denied them, which is such a | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
shame. She was very happy and still living here and she'd bring her | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
friends home here, so we were still involved with her life, and she's | :07:29. | :07:37. | |
left a very big gap. We are still appealing for members of the public | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
to come forward with information. There are two things that are going | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
to solve this case, maybe singly or maybe in combination. One is the | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
continuous development of forensic science, as we've seen in the | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Melanie Road case, but also, people out there know what happened and | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
might come forward. -- won't come forward. That may be through loyalty | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
or fear. More than one person may know what happened but we would just | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
ask that they have the moral fibre to find it in them to come forward | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
and help us. You can see there, her family clearly haven't given up hope | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
that her killer would be caught and as we saw a few weeks ago with the | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
conviction of Christopher Hampton for Melanie Road's murder, which | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
dates back to 1984, DNA evidence can help with these historical cases. | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
That is the hope that we have with this investigation, that the DNA | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
will bring us a step closer. But what was significant about the | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
Christopher Hampton case is that he lead a normal life within the | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
community, respected by people. That could be the same with the person or | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
persons responsible for Melanie Hall's murder. So I would urge | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
anyone with any information, any suspicions or who actually know who | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
is responsible, now was a time to call us. Please come forward. | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Someone out there may have information and if they needed any | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
more incentive to come forward and give that to the police, there is a | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
reward. That's right. Crimestoppers have reinstated a ?10,000 reward for | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
persons responsible for Melanie's murder. So far, the people of Bath | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
and the wider community have been absolutely fantastic with the | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
information that they've been providing to us over the 20 years. | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
We need more information. Please come forward. Thank you. If you have | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
any information, as you've heard, please come across and give that to | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
us now. The number is on screen or if you prefer, you can call | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
Crimestoppers anonymously. Michelle... | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
It's all quiet here now but at this specialist training centre, you | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
never know what lies around the corner and for the officers that | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
train here, that's exactly the point. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
No, this is not a post-apocalyptic film set and it's certainly not your | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
average high-street. 30 miles from central London, this is the Met's | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
specialist training centre in Gravesend. | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
This is one of the best facilities in Europe, if not around the world. | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
It has been open now for about 13 years so we are well used to the | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
site. You are going to see a variety of officers from different stages of | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
their career and you're going to see them learning the basics of public | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
order training and then consolidating their two dess' | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
training into an incident at the end where, hopefully, it will all come | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
together and it will all work, but we shall wait and see. Police | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
constables to commanders from across the force come here to learn how to | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
deal with public disorder. From crowd control to peaceful protest, | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
to a full on riot, here they tackle it all, but not all officers make | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
the grade, especially when they face-to-face with these feisty | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
rioters, who are played training officers. Providing back-up and | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
proving once again that they really are a man's best friend is the dog | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
support unit. They work in a group of six dogs and a sergeant | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
controlling and they will always have the support of others. We would | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
leave the dogs at the front. If we take up ground, it is like a | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
leapfrogging process. The dogs are brilliant at public order, very | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
dynamic, very visually impacted and on that basis, they tend to be able | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
to do the work of a couple of units. Will move back because, obviously, | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
you can't talk to the dog and if you do, the dog don't listen. -- people | :11:45. | :11:53. | |
will move back. Officers have to think on their feet. Every scenario | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
that can be practised is done here to give them the best chance of | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
successfully dealing with any disorder in reality. In this case, | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
keeping people from breaking through a barricade. But those shields over | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
the barricades, facing forwards. Facing forwards aggressively, | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
shouting out the warnings. You might use barriers to guide people down a | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
certain route, you might use barriers to protect off a street or | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
to protect the building. It might be that there is sensitive stuff behind | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
it or it might be to keep opposing groups apart so there isn't any | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
further violence. Remember, it is not our job to have a battle with | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
the crowds. It is to hold an area. Thousands of officers from all areas | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
of the Met come here to train every year, making sure they're ready for | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
anything, including offering front-line medical assistance. It's | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
really important because whether the officers get injured or members of | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
the public, for us, when we're there, the public expect us to be | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
able to deal with and treat but the primary responsible as divorce to | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
the ambulance service and the hospitals but we will fill that gap | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
until we can get them to their attention. What we're going to do | :13:10. | :13:17. | |
now is practised tactics with the mounted branch, so these are done in | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
two phases, passive and active. The first one is passive, where the | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
horses will come up and show themselves to the crowd and the | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
police unit is in front, the police unit will split and the waters | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
rushed forward and take up some ground and then the police unit will | :13:31. | :13:39. | |
come back and take up the ground. -- the horses rushed forward. This | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
training is really useful because means we get to work with units that | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
we don't normally get to work with, horses, also to different units. It | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
provides an interesting way to look at public order. Managing the | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
hostile crowd is one of the biggest challenges facing the police and for | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
the last exercise of the day, all units come together in the most | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
realistic scenario yet. They use all they've learned as all hell breaks | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
loose. The task force organise themselves to cover and hold their | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
ground as the rioters attack from every angle. When needed, the dog | :14:19. | :14:31. | |
support unit is called in to push the rioters back and re-gain ground. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
And the horses, who aren't so passive this time, charge up the | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
crowd, forcing them to separate and dispersed. -- charge at the crowd. | :14:41. | :14:49. | |
It was a very tough day. Worked with horses, with the dog unit, being | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
petrol bombs, so I've been through quite a lot today. It takes it out | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
of you. You don't realise what muscle groups you are using as you | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
are working throughout the dated top hard work but it is definitely worth | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
it. -- throughout the day. As you saw there, the officers here are | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
fully prepared to deal with all sorts of disorder but even though | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
they do their utmost to control the disorder, they still need your help | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
in identifying the people involved. Joining me now is DS Neil Gunn from | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
the Metropolitan Police and he needs your help identifying people | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
involved in some violence at a football match. Welcome. Talk me | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
through what happened. This is a game of football that took place | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
about a week and a half ago at Wembley between Barnsley and | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
Millwall. Barnsley 131-macro and a section of the crowd in the stadium | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
ended up fighting with each other. We can see some CCTV footage. What | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
are we watching? What starts as physical confrontation and taunting | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
between Franz escalates into violence, including punches being | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
thrown. Incidence of spitting between fans. Sadly, the seats being | :16:12. | :16:24. | |
ripped up and used as missiles. The security team are right in the thick | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
of it, was anybody heard? Thankfully not, the security teams did an | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
incredible job, given what they were confronted with. It could have been | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
a lot worse. It was in the high as part of the stadium. It is a small | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
minority of people? There were about 50,000 people who attended this game | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
and this is a few dozen people in an isolated part of the stadium who | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
just ruin the reputation of the clubs but everybody. I would like to | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
say we are working closely with Millwall, Barnsley, the foot ball | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
league and the Football Association to identify these people, get them | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
arrested and keep them away from grounds. It isn't the sort of | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
environment we want our kids to go to. We don't see these incidents in | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
English football any more, but once or twice is too many. | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
And here are some of those faces again? | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
If you were at wembley that day and recognise any of these | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
people then get in touch via the numbers on screen, | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
all the images of the people police are looking to | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
identify will be available on the met website shortly. | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
The broken hearted schoolboy who had his bird collection | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
It is really sad having to come back in here, I really loved them. | :17:50. | :18:01. | |
And can you name the thug who carried out a terrifying | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
I had a lot of freedom, I would go anywhere, at any time, but now I am | :18:04. | :18:15. | |
more cautious and I have had my freedom taken away from me. | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
But first, we need you to look closely at today's selection | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
It is December 2013 and two crooks get on the number 13 bus. They | :18:22. | :18:35. | |
exchange choice words with people at the bus stop, but look at one of | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
them is holding... A suspected pipe bomb. They travelled to Donegal | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
Square West where they get off the double-decker bus five minutes | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
later. Police say they crossed the road, where one of them throws a | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
pipe down a side street, next to the branch of a major European bank. But | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
it lays unnoticed in Wellington Street for an hour, before the men | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
return and they pick it up. They appear to show the objective | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
passers-by before he places it against the wall by a skip and walks | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
off. Detect it said the copper pipe was found by bank staff the next | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
morning and triggered a security operation. It turns out it was a | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
hoax, but police are treating this as a serious offence. Do you | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
recognise either of them? We need your help. Be a diamond and tell us | :19:32. | :19:45. | |
if you know this leaf and his companion. Posing as customers, they | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
visit a Guildford store in March last year and ask to see some rings. | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
An assistant Les two trays of sparklers on the table, and the | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
woman tries them on. While the assistant is distracted, police said | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
the man reaches over with his right hand and takes two rings from the | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
trade nearest to him. He hides them in his fist until the assistant | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
isn't looking, then puts them in his wallet. Eventually, they make their | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
excuses and leave with ?11,000 worth of RB dazzlers. The couple both | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
spoke with Eastern European accents. Names, please. | :20:28. | :20:30. | |

Let's head back to Gravesend in Kent. | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
Michelle, looks like it's all kicking off there! | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
We've seen how full on the training is here and I'm now going | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
The officers here are training to move through dangerous crowds. | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
Sgt Adam Nash is the head instructor. | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
We move through dense crowds, whether it is to rescue somebody, | :21:10. | :21:21. | |
arrest somebody get through dense people from one area to another. In | :21:22. | :21:31. | |
this scenario, there is a threat so we are in protective equipment is, | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
so it is to protect them from getting pushed about. What kind of | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
real-life situations, what kind of scenarios? Major sporting events, | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
one of the biggest one is at Notting Hill Carnival, the new Year's Eve | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
celebrations in central London. I can see these big handbags just | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
behind us, what are they for? To replicate a person. They weigh the | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
same as a grown adult. When they are swinging their replicate the moving | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
of a crowd. So it is as a realistic situation as we can get it. What | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
will happen? You would jump at the front, go with the officers into the | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
simulated crowd. There is a subject they will arrest. You will be the | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
arresting officer, you will be at the front so I will see you on the | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
other side. See you on the other side, Adam. Visor down. Visor down, | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
let's go. Forward! How was that? Pretty intense. When | :22:40. | :23:03. | |
you are in there, you get the full extent, you need a lot of strength. | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
Thanks for giving me an insight. Keep it nice and tight and you | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
always get through. Join me later, my training isn't over yet. | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
Now it's time for a look at today's Wanted Faces. | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
Police forces around the country are asking for your | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
Starting with Martin Michael Ward, although you may know him | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
He's 38 but also claims to be 34, 36 and 42! | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
He's wanted for questioning by detectives in Greater Manchester | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
after a pensioner was assaulted in her own home | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
Ward has an Irish accent, with links to County Galway, | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
He has a tattoo of the name Tash on his neck. | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
Detectives from the Met want to speak to him about the kidnap, | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
assault and robbery of a man earlier this year. | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
Islam is 22 and has a gold upper tooth. | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
He has links to Newham in London, Sunderland, Newcastle, | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
He was convicted of child sex offences in Romania, | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
jailed for three years and placed on the sex offenders' register. | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
After coming to the UK, he's failed to let the authorities | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
here know where he is living and has therefore broken his conditions. | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
He's 61 and with a Romanian accent, and has links | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
He also works as a computer programmer or engineer. | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
And finally we have 22-year-old Mitchell Slevin. | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
Detectives in Lancashire want to question him about an attack | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
in which a man had a chemical sprayed in his face. | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
Slevin has links to Manchester and Conwy in North Wales, | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
Call and text using the numbers on screen if you know | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
Now, let's go back to Michelle in Gravesend. It is all well and good | :24:42. | :24:59. | |
training the crowd control but what about getting the officers to the | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
crowds in the first place. Vehicles play an integral part in their | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
training. Good morning. Adam, what is so special about these? They are | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
purpose-built for dealing with the big order situations. They can't | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
protect it, they have a scream at the front to protect the glass, | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
storage for Shields and equipment. Her spec windows at the side. If | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
there is any paint thrown on the window screen, it can clean it off | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
and moves officers from a to B as quickly as possible. What situations | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
do you use this for normally? You will see these on the streets of | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
London every day of the week, demonstrations, sporting events. | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
Where there is a large body of people going around and we are there | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
to make sure it is safe. Let's do the demonstration, you are going to | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
show me how it is done. Yes, we will go round the corner now and deal | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
with what is in front of us. Taking our position, there is | :26:02. | :26:18. | |
obviously disorder going on. Going forwards. They get in position | :26:19. | :26:36. | |
to start pushing everybody back. They make the defences. Positioning | :26:37. | :26:47. | |
is very important? It is working as a team and as a unit to do things | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
dynamically. It is interesting to see how it works in action. Rav, if | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
he thought that was impressive, join me later, there is a lot more to | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
come. I will look forward to that. Next, can you help Kent Police track | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
down the man who attacked a teenage I have lived here since I was born. | :27:08. | :27:22. | |
Growing up, not many kids to play with because we are in the middle of | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
nowhere. But it was fun, climbing trees and stuff. 18-year-old Millie | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
Godfrey is studying animal care and lives with her family in Chartham in | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
Kent. Mostly just messing about with my friends. That is all I get up to. | :27:41. | :27:47. | |
Whilst living in the countryside has its in means she has to travel | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
further afield to see her friends on Thursday the 14th of April, Millie | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
had been to college and then headed to see some friends in Canterbury. | :27:57. | :28:03. | |
As usual, she got the train back and began her 15 minute walk home just | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
before 11 p.m.. Henry Winter took her along the main road. During the | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
day, the A28 can be busy, but at night, it can be lonely. It is not | :28:14. | :28:20. | |
the nicest of walk when it is dark, there are no lights. That night, | :28:21. | :28:28. | |
Millie had more than the dark to be scared of. I had my headphones on | :28:29. | :28:38. | |
and I hear anything. I was completely oblivious that someone | :28:39. | :28:48. | |
was following me. I got about halfway, where the graveyard is. | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
Right before it happened, I knew somebody was behind me. But it was | :28:55. | :29:02. | |
too late. A man came up behind her, pushing her to the ground. He then | :29:03. | :29:06. | |
viciously attacked her. He punched me in the face, just kept going. He | :29:07. | :29:14. | |
dragged her into the cemetery and carried on hitting her. Then he | :29:15. | :29:20. | |
strangled me. I thought I was going to die. He wasn't stopping. After | :29:21. | :29:28. | |
attacking her, the man got up and calmly walked away. I left my bag | :29:29. | :29:34. | |
where it was, left everything and run. Desperate for help, Millie | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
headed for the nearest house. I climbed over the fence. Help, please | :29:40. | :29:46. | |
let me in. Help! They were shocked as well, because my face was | :29:47. | :29:52. | |
obviously pretty bad. The police want to know who left Millie with | :29:53. | :29:59. | |
these terrible injuries. It is an unusual assaults, no items were | :30:00. | :30:03. | |
taken from Millie. She was taken into a secluded area and was | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
violently assaulted. Millie should have been able to walk home safe in | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
the village she lives. We don't want this to happen to anybody else. And | :30:13. | :30:18. | |
for Millie, the independence she enjoyed has been lost. My sister | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
will drive me home now instead of getting the train. I am OK, as long | :30:23. | :30:29. | |
as I am with people. When I am alone, I don't like it. Any small | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
sign, I think somebody is in the house or somebody is following me. I | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
had a lot of freedom, I would go anywhere and any time. Now I am more | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
cautious than I was before. It is like my freedom has been taken away | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
from me. The experience has had a big impact | :30:49. | :30:56. | |
on Millie. I'm joined by DC Shelah Thompson. How is Millie? We saw in | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
the film that she suffered quite serious injuries. Millie's injuries | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
have healed well but she is still scared to go out on her own and she | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
shouldn't be feeling that weighted top Where exactly in Chartham did | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
this happen? On the edge of chart is the train station. Millie has got | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
off the train and walked towards her home address. She's walked along the | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
A28 towards Ashford and as she has reached the cemetery, she has been | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
grabbed and pulled into the car park. The person that has grabbed | :31:28. | :31:31. | |
her, we believe, has come from the same direction as Millie and then | :31:32. | :31:34. | |
has run off back towards the train station. Was there anyone else | :31:35. | :31:41. | |
around that evening? We know from Millie there was definitely someone | :31:42. | :31:43. | |
else around. Jailed Nolan got off the train at the same time as | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
Herbert Millie states he walked off in opposite direction. We believe he | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
could have witnessed something and could hold vital information. There | :31:50. | :31:57. | |
is CCTV image from the local farm, which is a poor quality, but the | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
person was around at the time of the assault and we believe he could have | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
witnessed something. Do we have any more details about a suspect? | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
Unfortunately, we have very limited details of the suspect themselves. | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
Millie was grabbed from behind and all she can tell us if they had a | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
dark Deon with the hood up the whole time. Thanks very much. -- a dark | :32:18. | :32:23. | |
body on. For many of us, pets can help lift | :32:24. | :32:27. | |
our spirits when we are feeling down and that was certainly the case for | :32:28. | :32:32. | |
young Dylon who is recovering from cancer. Imagine his devastation when | :32:33. | :32:34. | |
the thieves targeted the very thing that helped his recovery. | :32:35. | :32:44. | |
Dylon was just five years old when he was diagnosed with cancer. I | :32:45. | :32:52. | |
really can't remember too much, other than her saying, "They've | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
found a tumour". I was inconsolable. It still hurts to this day. He did | :32:58. | :33:04. | |
ask if he was going to die. We said, "Not if we can help it". During a | :33:05. | :33:11. | |
respite holiday with his family, Dylon visited an aviary and that's | :33:12. | :33:16. | |
where his love of birds started. The birds gave him comfort. It was his | :33:17. | :33:25. | |
pets. He loved them. The family bought a bird for each step of his | :33:26. | :33:29. | |
journey to recovery and Dylon formed a real bond with them. Every part of | :33:30. | :33:37. | |
the cancer that I had, one would be the operation, I would get a couple | :33:38. | :33:41. | |
for them, and every single part would be a bird. First was all the | :33:42. | :33:45. | |
yellow ones and a couple of black and grey once. The last one we got | :33:46. | :33:51. | |
was a white and red one. What I really like the most is when I come | :33:52. | :33:57. | |
up to play football with my brother, they would be chirping and you think | :33:58. | :33:59. | |
of it as the crowd going wild. On the 21st of March, the Osborne | :34:00. | :34:14. | |
is' garden was broken into. Tragically, all of Dylon's birds | :34:15. | :34:19. | |
were stolen. I was really heartbroken, devastated. I was | :34:20. | :34:22. | |
allowed to swear and, trust me, I did swear really badly. It was just | :34:23. | :34:29. | |
the hardest thing, to watch him lose them. He used to come out and feed | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
them, play out here. He would often be at the aviary pretending to | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
tweets to them. The birds had been a real comfort to Dylon through his | :34:39. | :34:42. | |
illness, so after the theft join replaced them and tried to make the | :34:43. | :34:46. | |
garden and aviary as secure as possible. We added an alarm to the | :34:47. | :34:52. | |
shed, we added a security light. We thought we'd made the garden secure. | :34:53. | :35:00. | |
But those are security measures weren't enough. Just a month later, | :35:01. | :35:05. | |
thieves struck again and Dylon's birds were taken for a second time. | :35:06. | :35:15. | |
I was like, "Wow, no, we've been burgled again! They've cut our roof | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
out of the aviary". They work passing them out into their bird | :35:21. | :35:25. | |
carrying box. This time, Dylon found it even harder to deal with the loss | :35:26. | :35:30. | |
of his birds. Want I was enough but second time, that's just pushing the | :35:31. | :35:36. | |
boundaries! -- one time was enough. Dylon cried three to four hours | :35:37. | :35:39. | |
without stopping. They won't sleep in their rooms, they are both in our | :35:40. | :35:43. | |
room. It's hard because from my perspective, he's been through | :35:44. | :35:48. | |
enough. Whilst they would love to get more birds, Dylon's mum is | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
worried about the impact a further theft could have on her son. Dylon | :35:52. | :35:57. | |
is desperate to have the Avery repaired and haven't refilled. But I | :35:58. | :36:00. | |
don't know if I could put him through it again. I've watched my | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
son have a life-threatening condition, come through that, | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
they've come back and stolen the birds again. Can I put him through | :36:07. | :36:10. | |
it a third time? I don't know. Somebody in Sittingbourne knows | :36:11. | :36:20. | |
something. I love them. Just a horrible thing to happen to | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
Dylon. These are just two of the birds that were stolen and in total, | :36:25. | :36:29. | |
he had 40 birds taken from his aviary. These included canaries and | :36:30. | :36:32. | |
zebra finches and it's thought they may have been sold on as pets | :36:33. | :36:35. | |
locally, so if you know anything that might help, please get in | :36:36. | :36:39. | |
touch. Sadly, but that is more, Man U might think. Take a look at these | :36:40. | :36:44. | |
fellas. Their older brother Kevin was stolen earlier this year. Mark | :36:45. | :36:49. | |
Birdsall is from the Baytree Owl Centre, where the thieves struck, | :36:50. | :36:52. | |
and PC Mark Goulding is an environmental crime specialist from | :36:53. | :36:54. | |
South Wales Police. Good morning to you both. You have three babies | :36:55. | :37:00. | |
here, baby owls, but you were targeted by thieves yourself where | :37:01. | :37:03. | |
their brother was stolen. What happened? We have quite an extensive | :37:04. | :37:08. | |
collection of owls at the centre and on the 15th of the breed, we arrived | :37:09. | :37:12. | |
at the centre to find one of the aviary doors wide open. -- 15th of | :37:13. | :37:19. | |
February. We found the sibling to this, who would have been ten years | :37:20. | :37:23. | |
old this year, and he was bred at the centre all those years ago and | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
has been a fairly major part of the display team for many years. So it | :37:27. | :37:31. | |
has been quite devastating that somebody has broken in and pinched | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
the owl. This is the older one. We were training him up to be a major | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
part of the flying display team at the centre and unfortunately, we | :37:41. | :37:44. | |
haven't had... We've had a lot of people phone up. Everyday people ask | :37:45. | :37:49. | |
us about whether we've found him. We have a lot of sightings of people | :37:50. | :37:53. | |
finding and seeing birds but unfortunately, we haven't had any | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
ultimate findings. These are just about four weeks old but you want to | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
stress that they are not just pets, they need specialist care, and you | :38:01. | :38:04. | |
are worried about the welfare of the bird. Very much so. We don't have a | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
lot of licensing and regulation on keeping birds of prey in captivity | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
in this country as it is and some species are more delicate than | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
others. Great owls are very cold climate species so they struggle | :38:18. | :38:21. | |
even here in the studio. These guys are little bit warm. It is quite | :38:22. | :38:26. | |
chilly in here but these guys still get stressed from overheating quite | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
quickly so in the wrong hands, there is a good chance that we might not | :38:30. | :38:33. | |
see them again -- see him again because he is already dead at the | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
assembly has taken him and doesn't know how to look after him. PC Mark | :38:37. | :38:40. | |
Golding, how common is this type of crime? The theft of captive birds | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
does occur, however what is much more common, unfortunately, is the | :38:46. | :38:51. | |
theft of our British wild birds, particularly eggs and their chicks, | :38:52. | :38:59. | |
and they are systematically being persecuted through poisoning, | :39:00. | :39:02. | |
strapping and shooting. What can the public to do help? There are some | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
things we could ask them to do. It is the nesting season right now and | :39:08. | :39:10. | |
we would very much like them to be looking out for something unusual, | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
perhaps a dead pigeon on the ground, perhaps an oily substance on it, | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
something like a pesticide can be used to poison the birds. So I would | :39:20. | :39:25. | |
ask them to lookout for that. Suspicious traps. And particularly | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
any activity up on a rock face, a nest, perhaps, adults squawking, | :39:31. | :39:36. | |
looking distressed, give us a call. You also want to mention that | :39:37. | :39:39. | |
although most police forces do have a specialist unit which looks into | :39:40. | :39:43. | |
this, any police force would want to hear from people if they have | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
concerns. Patiently but. Absolutely not. They shouldn't be put off and | :39:48. | :39:51. | |
with regard to the great Grey owl, if anybody has seen an hour like | :39:52. | :39:54. | |
that, we would be interested to hear from them. Absolutely. Thank you | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
both, and you three, for joining us. Fingers crossed, someone watching | :40:01. | :40:03. | |
can return Keven Mealamu is home. Now let's go back to Michelle, who | :40:04. | :40:11. | |
is facing the ultimate test. -- return Kevin back to his home. | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
I'm feeling quite nervous about this. This is the last part of my | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
training. On one side we've got the protesters, on the other side we've | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
got all our officers poised and ready to go, both of them looking | :40:24. | :40:28. | |
quite intimidating. Adam, please can you talk me through how this is all | :40:29. | :40:32. | |
going to work? The officers are going to move down, looking to take | :40:33. | :40:36. | |
control of the street and get background, so they are moving in | :40:37. | :40:43. | |
shield formation, coming down. OK. I just can't believe what I'm seeing | :40:44. | :40:47. | |
here and that I'm going to be involved in this. Does this | :40:48. | :40:51. | |
situation happen often? It is a really rare occurrence, which is | :40:52. | :40:55. | |
fortunate, but we've got to train with officers to deal with these | :40:56. | :40:58. | |
situations. It is something we have to do to train them but it is very | :40:59. | :41:03. | |
rare. The gear is important to keep you safe. How does it keep you safe? | :41:04. | :41:08. | |
It's got limb protection so it stops any bruising or blunt injuries. The | :41:09. | :41:14. | |
overalls of flame retardant and the helmet protects your head, with the | :41:15. | :41:18. | |
visor. I'd better get in there. Thank you very much. Face the front. | :41:19. | :41:28. | |
OK. Just wait for it now, Michelle. Foreword! You're good, you're good. | :41:29. | :41:40. | |
Keep going. Stay front, Michelle. We're good. You're all right. Sorry. | :41:41. | :41:51. | |
Standstill. You're OK, you're good, you're good. Keep breathing. Your | :41:52. | :41:59. | |
fine. ,, Michelle. Up you come. Keep breathing. You are fine. Off you go. | :42:00. | :42:11. | |
Bags very much, guys. Sorry, I just need to catch my breath. Eye contact | :42:12. | :42:18. | |
and believe what I've just... Rav, you know what? I'm sure you're far | :42:19. | :42:22. | |
more experienced in these situations than me. This is the first time I've | :42:23. | :42:25. | |
done it and I still can't believe I've done it. How did you find it? | :42:26. | :42:32. | |
Well, I'll let you into a little secret, Michelle, you are not alone. | :42:33. | :42:35. | |
I've done that several times and every time you come out of it | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
feeling like you've done 12 rounds with David Haye, so well done. It | :42:40. | :42:46. | |
was absolutely brilliant! Banks, rather. I'm going to head | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
back and finish off this training. -- thanks, Rav. | :42:51. | :42:57. | |
Have a well earned cup of tea! Well done from all of us. I've just got | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
time to view a quick update on how your calls are making a difference. | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
You may remember yesterday, we showed you the outrageous case of | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
Dougie. He was the man who had cerebral palsy and he was robbed in | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
a lift of his gold chain and someone stole his food to, in a lift it up | :43:14. | :43:22. | |
we had a lot of calls and police say they are following up those leads as | :43:23. | :43:28. | |
we speak, including one very strong sounding leads. Keep those calls and | :43:29. | :43:31. | |
texts and e-mails coming in. They really do make a difference. Let's | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
find out where Michelle is going to be tomorrow and if it is a little | :43:36. | :43:37. | |
less dangerous! Tomorrow I'm going to be having to | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
Hertfordshire to investigate the growing problem of night hawking. | :43:42. | :43:44. | |
You've got these rogue metal detector wrists heading out in the | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
middle of the night hunting for artefacts that belong to other | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
people. For now, I think I need to get out of this year! I'll see you | :43:53. | :44:03. | |
tomorrow. -- gear. For more information on all of our | :44:04. | :44:08. | |
crimes, visit our website but 30 is another look at as a's most wanted | :44:09. | :44:13. | |
faces. If you know where they are, give us a call. We will be back | :44:14. | :44:16. | |
tomorrow but until then, take care. | :44:17. | :44:21. |
