That is it for now. Thanks to all of our guests. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
This is the programme where you can join the fight against crime. For | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
the next four weeks, we are on a mission to put more criminals behind | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
bars. I will be travelling the length of the country to find out | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
how police forces are tackling crime where you live. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
And I will be in the studio, asking for your help to hold the everyday | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
crimes. Last year, thanks to your calls, | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
police made more than 60 arrests. Armed robbery, fraud, even murder. | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
Incredible work, and I reckon we can do even better this year. It is time | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
to catch some groups! This is Crimewatch Roadshow. -- crooks. | :00:54. | :01:17. | |
It's the first day of this summer's Crimewatch Roadshow. | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
Crimewatch Roadshow is all about asking for your help to tackle | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
crime, and for the next month we'll be live every weekday morning | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
We've got some really important appeals coming up, | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
but of course we've all been particularly shocked and saddened | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
by the terror attacks over the past months. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
As a former police officer, my heart goes out to | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
all the victims and their families and, of course, the emergency | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
So we're starting the series with a special programme broadcasting | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
live from the new headquarters of the force which leads | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
on counterterrorism in the UK - the Metropolitan Police. | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
Michelle Ackerley is at New Scotland Yard. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
Yes, we're starting the new series from the nerve | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
This is the newly refurbished New Scotland Yard, | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
It's from here that much of the response to the recent | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
It's also home to new Commissioner Cressida Dick, | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
who's leading the police operations to tackle the terrorists. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
We will be speaking to her live on the programme later, she has taken | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
some time out of her incredibly busy schedule. | :02:35. | :02:35. | |
But now it's time for our first appeal. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Sadly, it also involves a fatal stabbing. | :02:39. | :02:39. | |
Knife crime is a particular problem in London, and this morning | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
we need your help to bring about justice for one | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
I am actually in his shoes, trying to find somebody to help them. I | :02:46. | :03:03. | |
can't breathe. And then I lose it, just lose it. My child is lying on | :03:04. | :03:15. | |
that road. 20-year-old Lewis Elwin lived in south London with his | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
family. Lewis, a caring young man, wouldn't hurt a fly. Loved animals, | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
loved playing games, loved drawing. Normal teenager. The was at the age | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
where he didn't know what he wanted to do. I like to feel that he needed | :03:33. | :03:45. | |
a role model, I am an electrician, my brother is a plumber, what better | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
way to learn than from your brothers? You just wanted to find a | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
job. He just wanted to work and be long. He loved his hair, he was into | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
these loose plaits, and he didn't want me to do it, because he said I | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
was too rough. When I come that, I counted, and boys don't like their | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
head being combed. -- combed it. On a Monday afternoon in April last | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
year, Lewis was out with his mum, she was dropping him off to see a | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
friend. I was quite happy to drop him, because I was out and about. We | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
went down to Tooting, talking to his big sister on the phone, he was | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
giving me directions where he to be. He was in very good spirits, very | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
good spirits, he was laughing, he was happy. CCTV shows Sandra's blue | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
car pulling up on Moyser Road at the junction with Ribblesdale Road. When | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
I dropped him to go where he needed to be, I'd beat the horn, because I | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
noticed his trousers were a little low, and I don't like that. Cameras | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
capture the moment when Sandra says goodbye to Lewis. I told him, pull | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
up your trousers, he smiled and hopped along the road. I then turned | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
the car around and went to the doctor's. As Lewis made his way down | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
the quiet residential streets of Tooting, he called his friend to let | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
him know he was on his way. But Lewis never made it. | :05:27. | :05:40. | |
With one blow, Lewis was stabbed in the back. He stumbled down the | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
street for a full minute before collapsing to the floor. | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
Sandro got the call telling her what had happened. I felt shaken, | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
driving, I was shaking. I couldn't breathe, I was cold. It was just | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
disbelief that my child was lying down there, and I just dropped him | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
off. Lewis died at the scene less than an hour after his mum dropped | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
him off. To hear the words that he is dead, you know that is the | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
hardest part, because you know you are going to come home with that. I | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
never thought I would be burying my child be for me, nobody should have | :06:37. | :06:37. | |
to do that. We wanted to do a march in memory of | :06:38. | :06:49. | |
Lewis, with the placard and the leaflets and the T-shirts, it became | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
more effective, we wanted people to know who was in the coffin and why, | :06:53. | :07:02. | |
because he got stabbed. Justice will be served, we have got to let the | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
youth understand that, this crime, and be -- this crime cannot be | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
overlooked. We cannot stand by and see this happen to another mother, | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
another youth. When is enough enough? | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Nothing justifies taking a person's life, and if it was Lewis that did | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
it to someone else, I wouldn't have it, no. Somehow, I would turn him | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
in, so I would like to know who did it to my child. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
Joining me now is Detective Inspector Will Reynolds, | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
who is leading the investigation into this tragic case. | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
What do we know about Lewis's final movements? | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
We know he was with his mother that afternoon. She dropped him off in | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
Moyser Road at about 3:30 in the afternoon. Once he got out of the | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
car, he made a telephone call to a friend nearby. He made his way over | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
to his friend's Howes, around Penwortham Road, but he did not make | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
it, because he was attacked and stabbed in the back. Then he went | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
back down Penwortham Road, where he unfortunately collapsed, and despite | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
the best efforts of paramedics and members of the public, he tragically | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
died at about 3:40. Not only was this in the middle of the afternoon, | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
it was very close to a school, wasn't it? It was very close to | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
Penwortham primary school, at a time when the school was closing, parents | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
and carers would be picking up their children, and we are appealing to | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
them to contact us if they saw anything that can help us solve this | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
murder. What is the latest? We believe we have identified a | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
suspect, a black male wearing a blue top and great jogging trousers. We | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
have a car on CCTV which is circulating the area, a silver | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
Peugeot, and we believe that car was involved in the murder, because it | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
was subsequently found burned out very close to the scene. It is very | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
significant. There is a reward for information leading to a conviction. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
Absolutely, a ?20,000 reward is available to try and solve this | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
murder. People are motivated by different things, in terms of | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
contacting us, but we hope this amount of money might be an | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
incentive to someone who has seen something you may be scared or | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
frightened to contact us please help us. Lewis's mum just wants justice, | :09:31. | :09:39. | |
doesn't she? A painful time, it has been a very difficult year for them, | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
so we are making every effort to bring them justice and find the | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
killer of Lewis. Here's hoping someone | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
watching can help. Time now for some crooks | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
caught on camera And just to warn you - | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
one of these is pretty nasty. Can you spot what happens here in | :09:56. | :10:09. | |
plain sight? This gentleman is paying for his petrol, having placed | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
his car keys next to him on the counter. The station has filled up, | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
but keep your eye on a man wearing a baseball cap and carrying a scarf. | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
Watch what he does closely. Lacing his scarf on top of the | :10:22. | :10:34. | |
counter, the man waits for the gentleman to leave before snatching | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
back his scarf, along with the car keys. He then follows him out the | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
door. Unable to get into his car, the gentleman comes back to check if | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
he has left the keys behind. While inside, police believe the man in | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
the baseball cap drives off in the victim's pride and joy, a BMW M3. If | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
you recognise this sneaky thief, call us now. | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
It is nearing Halloween, but what you see next is no trick or treat. A | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
woman is travelling home after a Fancy Bears party. She is minding | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
her own business. For some reason, the man at the back of the carriage | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
starts to verbally abuse, then comes over and confronts her. She is | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
having none of it. What he does next is shocking. He head-butts her | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
straight in the face, the victim suffers serious injuries to her | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
teeth and is still receiving treatment. Police needs to catch | :11:38. | :11:48. | |
this violent berg. Name, please! It is a busy Friday afternoon in this | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
pharmacy, but in amongst the shoppers someone is up to no good. | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
This woman looks like she is casually browsing the aisles, but | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
she is not here to look at the products. She is here to lift them. | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
She clears out entire shelves of goods, but she still is not | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
satisfied. So she just carries on helping herself to even more. And | :12:11. | :12:20. | |
then head off, cool as a cucumber. But minutes later, she is back | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
again. Maybe she has remembered to pay... I don't think so, she is here | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
to see how much more she can fit in a bag. No wonder it is big. Police | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
believe this woman is responsible for multiple thefts in the area. On | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
this visit alone, she nabbed ?900 worth of cosmetics. Can you help | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
catch this greedy shoplifter? If you recognise any of that lot, | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
get on the phone now. You can call for free | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
on 08000 468999. Text CW, space and | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
then your message. Texts will be charged | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
at your standard message rate. Or send us an email, | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
the address is [email protected]. I have just been speaking to the | :12:59. | :13:12. | |
officer investigating the tragic murder of Lewis Elwin, the young man | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
who lost his life in south London last year, and sadly this is not an | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
isolated incident. Already this year, 37 people have died from | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
stabbings in the capital alone, so I have been finding out what the Met | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
are doing about it. Enough is enough, we need to do | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
something about it now! A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
suspicion of murder. Enough is enough, enough is enough! | :13:39. | :13:51. | |
The latest in a spate of stabbings in the capital... | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
Sometimes it feels as though a day doesn't go by without news of more | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
stabbings, nowhere more so than in the capital, where already this year | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
there has been a shocking number of fatalities. London has seen a 24% | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
increase in knife crime in the last year. For the Met, taking knives off | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
the street is a priority. Operation sector is the strategy to | :14:16. | :14:32. | |
combat knife crime and the latest phase with see an 80 strong task | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
fast -- task force involved in community initiatives. The man | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
leading the fight is Detective Superintendent Mick Gallagher. This | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
is a machete, a sword, what looks like a bayonet. These lives are just | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
part of the Hall of weapons taken from the streets last year by Mick | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
and his team. Each one of these of itself is capable of causing fatal | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
injury. There is an element of people carrying knives for their own | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
protection and we want to say as a police service that this is | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
absolutely the wrong decision to make and there is no excuse for it. | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
On a personal level you know the impact that knife crime can have on | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
someone's life. Sadly I do, I intervened to protect a friend of | :15:20. | :15:28. | |
mine who was being assaulted and I ended up with my throat being cut as | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
a consequence. Mick needed over 60 internal and external stitches and | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
he underwent reconstructive surgery. The weapon that did the damage, a | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
small blade similar to a carpet knife. The concern amongst Londoners | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
is that this is reaching an unacceptable level, every single | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
policeman in London is dedicated to having an enforcement impact on this | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
issue at the moment. Operation sector is just one part of the | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
strategy of the Met to tackle knife crime. Another is to support | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
projects helping the community find alternatives to violence. | :16:08. | :16:21. | |
The new Commissioner of the Met is paying a visit to this boxing club. | :16:22. | :16:30. | |
Every week PC Gary Arthurton runs after-school workshops. Quite often | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
they come in and say I will stopped and searched for no reason. He's a | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
friendly face and role model for the young people training here. I want | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
to make sure they feel comfortable around police and their first | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
association is a positive one. That is the main thing. My own view is | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
knife crime has been too high for a long time, possibly throughout my | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
police service but for a long time in London and big cities. Among some | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
of these young people there are those who could be drawn into a life | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
of crime or tangled up with gangs or bullied. And coming here clearly | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
gives them a purpose, a focus. Meeting other people, mostly young | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
people. The grassroots community work helps to foster a sense of | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
trust and friendship between local kids and the police. Something like | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
this if it just saves one life or stops the few young people going | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
into a life of serious crime then that is fantastic. Community | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
policing initiatives here have played an invaluable role in | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
reducing knife crime. But for police on the front line knives are still a | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
threat that they have to face every single day. I have come to the | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
London Borough of Hackney to meet a police officer who took down a knife | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
wielding mugger on this very street. I was coming back from Tesco's and | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
walking towards the police station. I heard a loud commotion and as I | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
turned around and there was a young male coming towards me trying to get | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
onto a bike. I gave chase and he came across this road into traffic. | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
At that stage I was able to pin him to the window. And before I knew it | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
I saw a knife coming towards me straight into my arm and down. Once | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
more the offender tried to escape. I thought not having this, I gave | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
chase again. You got up and carried on! Yes, carried on. Got further | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
down the road down here. And a brave member of the Public have managed to | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
get hold of him. I got the handcuffs and handcuffed him with the | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
assistance of a member of the public. I asked why he had tried to | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
stab me and he said because you let me get away. The attacker is now | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
behind bars serving a four-year sentence. But for the Sergeant the | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
day job and the fight against knife crime goes on. As an officer for me, | :19:07. | :19:14. | |
am I going to come home, that is the part I feel guilty about because I | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
am a working parent and if anything happened to me I could be leaving my | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
family in the financial, social, all of those situations. So that is the | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
ripple effect that a single action can have. | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
I'm joined now live by the Met's new Commissioner, Cressida Dick. | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
We'll talk about the latest on the terror attacks in a moment, | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
but first in terms of day-to-day policing, knife crime is clearly | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
Especially now we have reports of schoolchildren carrying knives. We | :19:47. | :19:59. | |
are very concerned about knife crime. I think London remains one of | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
the safest cities in the world. You heard earlier about the tragic | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
murder of Lewis and 36 others this year and that deeply concerns us. | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
Not to take away from but London has less murders than almost any other | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
major city in the world but we think knife crime is going up and we are | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
concerned. We're seizing more knives and arresting more people, having | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
more people sentenced. But the big message is about prevention. We do | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
not want to see young people and children thinking it is sensible to | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
carry a knife. You are a strong supporter of the stop and search | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
techniques some people see as quite controversial. But you think it | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
works. Well that is just one thing we can do and as I said I think | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
prevention is better than enforcement. But stop and search | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
properly used I think is a powerful tool for my officers. Of course they | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
must be courteous and use it lawfully. We use it with | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
intelligence to stop those people winnow habitually carry a knife. I | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
think the public would expect us to do that and I have had support for | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
the current stance. Westminster Bridge is behind us, obviously the | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
scene of the terrorist attacks in March and then just over a week ago | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
the London Bridge and Borough attacks. We can hear from one of the | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
first officers on the scene, Inspector Jim Cole. I think everyone | :21:25. | :21:33. | |
acted instinctively, even the guys who were first on the scene with the | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
casualties of the bridge. I think they would be quite badly affected | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
by having seen them on the night and since then. A lot of people have | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
seen pretty nasty things, the off-duty officer, Charlie, he | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
responded fantastically. He was off duty and unarmed. He went to help | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
the officer who was injured. So it was pretty amazing. | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
What everyone went through, the officers, the emergency services, it | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
was horrendous. How does that affect those officers? I pay tribute to | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
them, members of the public as well. The courage that was shown and the | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
professionalism and compassion, the quick thinking in an incredibly | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
chaotic and confusing situation. I've spoken to many people amongst | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
my first responders, the fire arms officers, and members of the public, | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
and it is hard for those of us who were not there to even imagine what | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
it would be like. So I pay tribute to them and part of my job is to try | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
to look after my officers and staff as best I can. Of course something | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
like that will have an impact on people. We have very good | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
occupational health and well-being, welfare services. The most important | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
thing I think is that their colleagues and supervisors and | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
people like me get around them and allow them to talk about it and give | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
their evidence to the very best of their ability. And take care of | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
them. How would you say we best protect our children, how as a | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
nation do we keep safe. I think even in the face of this threat that | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
you're talking about, there are some basic things that we can and should | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
all do. I know the BBC has a lot of resources for parents concerned | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
about what to say to children. But really it is about being sensible. | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
Being well informed. Being vigilant. And if you are concerned about | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
anything contact the police. Thank you very much. There is an | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
anti-terrorist hotline that you can contact if you notice anything | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
suspicious. The number is on the screen. And you can also contact 909 | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
in an emergency. Next, an elderly woman, | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
on her way back home from the shops who found herself targeted | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
by a cowardly mugger, leaving her with nasty | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
injuries and heartbroken. painful, really. It was just the | :24:09. | :24:23. | |
shock. All I could see was the back of him, running. | :24:24. | :24:34. | |
Jean Russell moved to West Dulwich in south London with her husband 24 | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
years ago. I got married when I was 19. It was quite enjoyable! He was | :24:39. | :24:47. | |
the life and soul of the party, you know. He was a lovely man. Really | :24:48. | :24:54. | |
nice. I was married for 50 years. And then in April he died about nine | :24:55. | :25:06. | |
years ago. We had a good marriage. Since retiring gene has been trying | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
to lead an active life. I used to take the dog out but a couple of | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
weeks ago we had to have her put down, she was really old and a bit | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
dodgy on her legs. I do jigsaw puzzles. I try to do a bit of | :25:22. | :25:32. | |
gardening when I can. Last September Jean left the house | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
to do her weekly shopping. I was coming from the main Street. And I | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
was going towards Sainsbury's. The route took gene through a side lane. | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
Not an alleyway as such, it is next door to the pub. A good few people | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
walk their but just by chance I happened to be walking on my own. | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
But Jean was not alone that day. I just happen to see someone coming | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
towards me and you do not take much notice. Of course in that split | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
second he rushed past me and pushed me to the ground. All I could see | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
was the back of him running. He just sort of flu towards the main road. | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
The arms went straight out in front, the left arm. And of course it | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
dislocated the shoulder. So my arm was all floppy and I could not | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
really move. Jean ended up being rushed to hospital and is now much | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
more cautious. I just keep to the main roads now when I go out on my | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
own. I do get a bit wary especially when someone is coming towards me. I | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
just plod along but at times I really get upset. The CCTV shows the | :26:58. | :27:08. | |
male walking in front of Jean, 20 seconds before her entrance into the | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
alleyway. At which point he strikes her and she falls to the ground and | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
he runs off. It is important to catch the suspect because he is | :27:19. | :27:26. | |
targeting an elderly member of our community, 77-year-old lady. It | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
could be your mother or grandmother and we do not want any further | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
victims from this suspect. And while her shoulder will heal, Jean will | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
not recover from the loss of necklace. I was quite upset because | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
my husband bought it for me. I had it a few years and it had | :27:44. | :27:45. | |
sentimental value. A really callous attack on a | :27:46. | :27:57. | |
vulnerable and elderly woman. And it's really hit | :27:58. | :27:59. | |
her hard, hasn't it? Yes, Michelle, she's been left | :28:00. | :28:06. | |
with a dislocated shoulder which has yet to heal and, | :28:07. | :28:08. | |
of course, is now afraid As you can see from the CCTV | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
of the incident the man responsible for this attack sneaks up behind | :28:12. | :28:23. | |
Jean and uses excessive force given How would you describe the man? This | :28:24. | :28:41. | |
is a male, possibly Asian, aged 25 to 35 years of age. Of stocky build, | :28:42. | :28:48. | |
around five feet ten. He is wearing a blue jacket with a hood. And | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
distinctive red shorts with a white stripe. And white socks and sandals. | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
And you're looking for someone who may have been sold the necklace. | :28:58. | :29:01. | |
Anyone with information about the whereabouts the necklace or the | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
identification of the mail, we are very interested. Thank you very | :29:07. | :29:07. | |
much. If you know who he is, | :29:08. | :29:09. | |
we'd love to hear from you. And it's worth knowing that | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
victims of any crime can Right, lots more to come this | :29:14. | :29:15. | |
morning, including the thieves who made off from a family home | :29:16. | :29:23. | |
with valuables worth And the former snooker | :29:24. | :29:25. | |
champion's match winning cue And the police officer on a mission | :29:26. | :29:45. | |
to turn crime into aid for countries in need. | :29:46. | :29:47. | |
But before all of that we've got our first batch of wanted faces. | :29:48. | :29:50. | |
who you may know as Jason Johnson or by his nickname "Indian". | :29:51. | :29:54. | |
Detectives want to question him after a man was kidnapped | :29:55. | :29:56. | |
from an address in Nottingham, attacked and threatened | :29:57. | :29:58. | |
He's 31 and has links to Leicester and Birmingham. | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
He was jailed for eight years for robbery | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
and allowed out early on licence, but he's failed to stick | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
to the conditions of his release and is now wanted back in prison. | :30:10. | :30:12. | |
Bell is 28 and has a Liverpudlian accent. | :30:13. | :30:14. | |
This is another Christopher - this time Christopher Spelman. | :30:15. | :30:16. | |
for 12 counts of indecent assault on a teenage girl. | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
The 58-year-old has also failed to stick to the conditions | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
of an early release from prison is wanted back inside. | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
although he also uses the surname Mbuku. | :30:26. | :30:33. | |
The 21-year-old was arrested in connection with a shooting incident | :30:34. | :30:38. | |
in Wellingborough in Northamptonshire, | :30:39. | :30:39. | |
but was given bail and has failed to return for further questioning. | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
Sengua has links to Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes | :30:44. | :30:45. | |
and has a number of tattoos, including one of his grandmother | :30:46. | :30:49. | |
on his left arm and the words "Life goes on" on his right arm. | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
If you know where any of these faces are, | :30:54. | :30:55. | |
make sure you get in touch using the numbers on screen. | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
Next up, the family home in an upmarket part of London | :31:02. | :31:03. | |
targeted over Christmas by some not very festive visitors. | :31:04. | :31:11. | |
London attracts more than 19 million tourists each year. | :31:12. | :31:17. | |
But American-born Robin chose to settle here and call it home. 25 | :31:18. | :31:27. | |
years ago, I came with small children, very young, and New York | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
City at that time, which is where we came from, was not a wonderful place | :31:31. | :31:35. | |
to bring up children, and I didn't like the idea of them growing up | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
there. Right here in this part of London, we have a wonderful high | :31:41. | :31:46. | |
street, busy and buzzy, it is great. It is very evocative, I love the | :31:47. | :31:51. | |
people, their history, the architecture, I love it all. Over | :31:52. | :31:57. | |
Christmas, Robin and her family left upmarket Mali bone to visit | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
relatives in New York. We always try to get over there to be with my | :32:02. | :32:06. | |
parents, spend a lot of time is catching up with everybody, very | :32:07. | :32:12. | |
important for us to visit. She thought she had left her house | :32:13. | :32:17. | |
secure, but the family's absence had been noticed, and the night before | :32:18. | :32:22. | |
New Year's Eve, three men managed to break in. The gang ransacked their | :32:23. | :32:25. | |
way through the house, stealing relatives. Then, in the bedroom, | :32:26. | :32:35. | |
they struck gold. Before leaving, Robin had stored her most precious | :32:36. | :32:43. | |
items away in a safe. In a total, ?150,000 with a jury was stolen. | :32:44. | :32:47. | |
Home CCTV shows the men trying to drag the heavy safe out of the | :32:48. | :32:53. | |
house. This is an affluent area of London, they had gone into the | :32:54. | :32:56. | |
property and found this safe and got out as quick as they good. I am sure | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
someone at there will know who these people are, the CCTV is really good. | :33:02. | :33:06. | |
At one point you can see one of the burglars looked straight about the | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
camera and realises there is a camera. His instant reaction is to | :33:10. | :33:17. | |
try and cover his face. Robin's daughter, who had returned to the UK | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
earlier than their parents, was the first to find the house had been | :33:21. | :33:25. | |
burgled. My daughter could have walked right in when it was going | :33:26. | :33:33. | |
on, it is terribly no bragging. -- terribly no bragging. My family | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
could have been hurt. I don't know who these people were, what they | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
were capable of doing. This was a really traumatic burglary for the | :33:43. | :33:45. | |
victims, it is horrible to think someone has been in your home, and | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
to come back and find your property has been taken, it is distressing, | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
and nothing would give me greater pleasure than figuring out who these | :33:55. | :33:57. | |
three are and bringing them to justice. Along with the valuables, | :33:58. | :34:03. | |
the thieves stole a lifetime of memories. The safe contained family | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
heirlooms. My grandmother is gone, and I adored her, I will never have | :34:09. | :34:13. | |
the things that I inherited from my grandmother. I had all my children's | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
birth certificates, and in the United States, when your children | :34:19. | :34:21. | |
are born, they stamped their little feet, and all those original inks, | :34:22. | :34:26. | |
they are too precious, and they are gone. Now I feel much more | :34:27. | :34:37. | |
vulnerable. How do you ever know what people, somebody who would | :34:38. | :34:39. | |
invade your home, what they would do? Just an awful thing to come back | :34:40. | :34:49. | |
to, especially after Christmas. What do we know about these these? We | :34:50. | :34:54. | |
have got really good CCTV of the suspects, all white men aged 30-40. | :34:55. | :35:00. | |
Our first suspect has a distinctive moustache, he is wearing a hat and a | :35:01. | :35:04. | |
black top. The second gentleman is of a larger build, distinctive | :35:05. | :35:08. | |
bobble hat. The last man is wearing a grey baseball cap, using a scarf | :35:09. | :35:12. | |
to cover his base. They used a vehicle to transport the safe. It is | :35:13. | :35:23. | |
believed they used a Renault Scenic. We see the vehicle coming into shot, | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
it is manoeuvred around, we do not see the registration plate, | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
unfortunately, the headlights of the car saturated camera, and we cannot | :35:33. | :35:36. | |
see the plate. It goes on the then we see the s low the safe into the | :35:37. | :35:44. | |
car. It would be really distinctive to anyone who was there. What about | :35:45. | :35:52. | |
the contents of the safe? Some sentimental and precious heirlooms, | :35:53. | :35:57. | |
over ?150,000 with jewellery, and things like birth certificates. It | :35:58. | :36:00. | |
may be that a pawnbroker has seen these items, I would love to hear | :36:01. | :36:05. | |
from those people. Any information, you know what to do. Have you ever | :36:06. | :36:11. | |
wondered what police officers get up to when they are not on duty? Some | :36:12. | :36:16. | |
of them volunteer for national police aid convoys, an organisation | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
which takes good to war-torn areas in developing countries. David Scott | :36:20. | :36:26. | |
is a chairman of the charity. How did it start? It started in the wars | :36:27. | :36:33. | |
in the Balkans in the 1990s, of people wanted to help the refugees, | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
similar to pictures from Syria today, we managed to get there using | :36:39. | :36:42. | |
bluff and bluster and influence to get things there. It started small | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
but has grown rapidly, where are you now? It is 25 years, but we put out | :36:48. | :36:54. | |
30 sea containers every year, so that means generating that much, | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
sorting and, loading it, and we go anywhere there is a disaster, the | :36:58. | :37:03. | |
Pakistan floods, the Turkish earthquakes. When we are not doing | :37:04. | :37:09. | |
that, we go to Africa and Pakistan with education and medical staff. Go | :37:10. | :37:11. | |
ahead and use started with police officers, but other people involved? | :37:12. | :37:17. | |
So why now, a lot of teachers and nurses, delivering the right thing | :37:18. | :37:27. | |
to the right people. So what kind of things do you send? We can get so | :37:28. | :37:33. | |
many hospital beds in a container, desks and chairs, but what do you | :37:34. | :37:37. | |
put inside the filing cabinets, it is stuff like this. Where does this | :37:38. | :37:43. | |
come from? Two major sources, label stuff that is lasted's designs that | :37:44. | :37:50. | |
the owners don't want any more. It hasn't sold. It has not been sold, | :37:51. | :37:57. | |
it is given to us as long as it goes to Africa. Some of these are | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
counterfeit goods. Thatcherite, trading standards and police seize | :38:04. | :38:08. | |
stolen goods and counterfeit goods. If it is safe to go to people, then | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
we get it, and it goes in the filing cabinets and desks and goes across. | :38:14. | :38:19. | |
Once it is safe, it cannot be sold here, but it could help youngsters. | :38:20. | :38:23. | |
We have got some gorgeous images here, we can see some of the stuff | :38:24. | :38:29. | |
you have sent out. This is an orphanage in Lusaka, the children | :38:30. | :38:37. | |
are given these. We can see one of the lads getting a pair of shoes, | :38:38. | :38:40. | |
makes such a difference. You are going away in a couple of days? We | :38:41. | :38:48. | |
have got a team going to Malawi, one to Zambia, all self-funded. Please | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
come back and see us when you come back, I would love to hear about | :38:53. | :38:54. | |
your trip. Michelle. Now this new headquarters | :38:55. | :38:59. | |
for the Metropolitan Police I've been finding out about | :39:00. | :39:01. | |
the Yard's fascinating history. If you read detective stories, like | :39:02. | :39:14. | |
most of us do, you will have heard of Scotland Yard... Scotland Yard | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
has been home to the Metropolitan Police for nearly 200 years. The | :39:18. | :39:25. | |
bobbies, or peelers as they were originally known, still pounds the | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
pavements today. But their HQ has moved with the times over the years. | :39:30. | :39:35. | |
Scotland Yard's detectives have always looked to be at the cutting | :39:36. | :39:39. | |
edge of technology, from the development of fingerprint analysis | :39:40. | :39:42. | |
to the latest in forensic techniques. Now New Scotland Yard is | :39:43. | :39:48. | |
back where it was 50 years ago, right in the heart of Westminster. | :39:49. | :39:53. | |
And out front, that familiar rotating triangle. It was designed | :39:54. | :40:02. | |
in 1968 as a symbol of never-ending vigilance. The new New Scotland Yard | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
wouldn't be the same without it. And with me now is Paul Bickley, | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
curator of the Met's crime museum. Talk me through the uniform you are | :40:10. | :40:20. | |
wearing. This dates back to 1870, you can see the difference from | :40:21. | :40:25. | |
today, helmet, the original number and area that the officer works out. | :40:26. | :40:30. | |
On the collar of the uniform, the division and the officer's number, | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
very smart. Big difference, prior to this uniform, the officers only had | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
this as a means of communication, they would stand and swing their | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
rattle. The distance it would carry is about 400 yards, so not a great | :40:44. | :40:48. | |
deal of help. With this uniform, I have got a whistle, if I need | :40:49. | :40:52. | |
assistance, take out the whistle, it is going to carry about 900 yards, | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
so much more effective, easier to carry. What about the truncheon? | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
These are the truncheons of the time. That is beautiful for a | :41:02. | :41:08. | |
weapon! It is very ornate, so not very practical as a weapon. It looks | :41:09. | :41:14. | |
nice, though, as an ornament. Not very practical as a Trojan. You have | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
roped in some officers to talk us through the years. This dates from | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
the 1960s through to the 1980s, the Royal insignia on a helmet, lots of | :41:26. | :41:29. | |
pockets on the uniform, slightly shorter truncheon. The big | :41:30. | :41:32. | |
difference is the radio, no longer a need for a rattle or whistle. The | :41:33. | :41:37. | |
radio puts him in instant communication with these colleagues | :41:38. | :41:41. | |
at the station. For the first time ever, officers can be reassured they | :41:42. | :41:44. | |
are in contact with their colleagues. Moving on to the modern | :41:45. | :41:52. | |
Bobby. Much more professional, much better radio than the 1960s version, | :41:53. | :41:56. | |
with this you can call the length of the country, use it as a mobile | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
phone, and the quality is fantastic. We have got the body camera, recent | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
introduction, very good at calming down city nations. When they see the | :42:05. | :42:08. | |
camera, people know they are being recorded, they calm down. The stab | :42:09. | :42:14. | |
