:00:00. > :00:11.asking for your help to bring criminals to justice.
:00:12. > :00:13.Coming up on this morning's programme:
:00:14. > :00:15.The vicious robbery of a Manchester grandmother,
:00:16. > :00:23.He just wouldn't stop hitting me. That was the main thing.
:00:24. > :00:27.And a month after the devastating concert terror attack,
:00:28. > :00:31.to the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police
:00:32. > :00:36.about the moment the first calls came in.
:00:37. > :00:38.I received a call from my assistant on duty.
:00:39. > :00:43.It was around four minutes to 11 when she rang me.
:00:44. > :00:45.Won't ever forget words she spoke to me at the time.
:00:46. > :01:15.Hello and welcome to Crimewatch Roadshow.
:01:16. > :01:17.As always, we need your help to solve the crimes
:01:18. > :01:27.The young man left unable to care for his disabled
:01:28. > :01:29.family after a night out took a nasty turn.
:01:30. > :01:33.For my friends it was probably one of the most scary situations that
:01:34. > :01:36.A couple of them thought I may never even get up again,
:01:37. > :01:39.cos they'd never seen someone go down in that manner.
:01:40. > :01:41.And how does something like this go missing?
:01:42. > :01:46.How police are fighting back against the tractor thieves.
:01:47. > :01:52.Plus, Michelle has headed back home to Manchester.
:01:53. > :01:59.Good morning, Michelle. That's right, Rav.
:02:00. > :02:04.I'm here in Great Northern Square at the heart of the city centre.
:02:05. > :02:07.Since the horrific terrorist attack in the Arena just five weeks ago,
:02:08. > :02:09.we've seen an incredible human response from Manchester's citizens.
:02:10. > :02:12.Today, we're joined by the police band
:02:13. > :02:15.who will be paying tribute to this special city and the strength
:02:16. > :02:26.and spirit of the people who live and work here.
:02:27. > :02:32.But now it's time for our first appeal.
:02:33. > :02:34.In February, 87-year-old Eileen Blane was brutally
:02:35. > :02:37.Her sons are desperate to know who did it.
:02:38. > :02:41.He just wouldn't stop hitting me. That was the main thing.
:02:42. > :03:11.VOICEOVER: Family has always been that the heart of 87-year-old
:03:12. > :03:14.Eileen's life. She enjoyed family coming around, she enjoys watching
:03:15. > :03:23.my children grow up, my brother's children. My mother was the one...
:03:24. > :03:27.That she turns to all the time. For 63 years, she was happily married to
:03:28. > :03:34.husband, Andrew, until his death in 2003. My dad was everything to my
:03:35. > :03:37.mother, he was very difficult -- it was very difficult when my father
:03:38. > :03:43.first passed away but my mother being as she was, she became
:03:44. > :03:45.resilient, she got tough. With her husband gone, Eileen treasured one
:03:46. > :03:50.item in particular which held special memories of him. The wedding
:03:51. > :03:54.ring meant a great deal to my mother, she only had to look at it
:03:55. > :04:00.and it reminds her of my father and the life they had together.
:04:01. > :04:07.On the afternoon of Friday, February three, Eileen went shopping at her
:04:08. > :04:12.local supermarket. She was very fit and agile for her age. On a weekly
:04:13. > :04:17.basis she would get a little shopping trolley and go to the shop
:04:18. > :04:23.at the top of the road. CCTV from the supermarket shows her picking up
:04:24. > :04:28.her groceries. You don't realise how independent she was. She used to get
:04:29. > :04:32.on buses and take the dog for a walk... 87... When you think about
:04:33. > :04:39.it, you would not think she would be doing that. As she is coming home
:04:40. > :04:49.with the shopping, she thought she saw the window cleaner outside, gave
:04:50. > :04:54.him a little wave, came home. After she unpacked her shopping, there was
:04:55. > :04:57.a knock at the back door. Because she had only just seen the window
:04:58. > :04:59.cleaner, she automatically thought that he was coming to get paid. But
:05:00. > :05:10.it was not him. He punched her straight in the face.
:05:11. > :05:16.She did not have time to do anything. Then he hit her again. He
:05:17. > :05:21.was relentless, he would not stop. She was on the floor, and he
:05:22. > :05:28.continued to kick her. Eileen begged the man to stop. He kept on,
:05:29. > :05:33.demanding gold and money. My mother raised her hands, to say, I have got
:05:34. > :05:36.no goal, I have got no money. Unfortunately, he saw the Reading
:05:37. > :05:40.Wayne Long her finger. Ripping the wedding ring from her hand, he
:05:41. > :05:45.dragged her into the living room, through her Jack Russell into the
:05:46. > :05:49.wall. -- he saw the wedding ring. At this point he said, you are not
:05:50. > :05:56.getting out of here alive. Eileen was trapped. When her attacker went
:05:57. > :05:59.upstairs to search for more valuables, she seized the
:06:00. > :06:02.opportunity. The first thing she could think of was, picked up the
:06:03. > :06:10.little dog and run out the front door. She ran straight to a
:06:11. > :06:21.neighbours house. They the police. Eileen's attacker fled before they
:06:22. > :06:26.arrive. -- they called the police. She had bruises all over her face
:06:27. > :06:31.and her eyes and her nose. It was only when she went to hospital and
:06:32. > :06:35.had x-rays, that they found out she sustained three broken ribs and a
:06:36. > :06:39.broken vertebrae, in the base of her spine, where he had been kicking
:06:40. > :06:47.her. Despite her injuries, Eileen seemed to be making a good recovery.
:06:48. > :06:51.After five weeks in hospital, she was then really turning a corner.
:06:52. > :06:56.She was looking forward to getting home, seeing her little dog. On the
:06:57. > :07:03.31st of March, doctors finally deemed her well enough to go home.
:07:04. > :07:05.All she dreamt about and thought about was, I will be going home
:07:06. > :07:08.tomorrow, I will be going home tomorrow. When she was told she
:07:09. > :07:16.could go home, she was happy. But just a single day after her
:07:17. > :07:33.return home, Eileen passed away. Well, I lost my mum. I have lost a
:07:34. > :07:38.friend... I have lost everything. This burglar might think he has
:07:39. > :08:07.killed my mother, but he has killed us, inside.
:08:08. > :08:16.We have lost somebody to speak to, somebody to confide in. You can
:08:17. > :08:19.quantify that. I just hope that someone does catch him in the end so
:08:20. > :08:27.that another family like ours does not go through this. For the sake of
:08:28. > :08:36.30 quid and a wedding ring. What a price to pay.
:08:37. > :08:42.I'm joined by DCI Richard Eales from GMP's major incident unit.
:08:43. > :08:47.Richard, this was a really vicious attack.
:08:48. > :08:49.And you are now treating this as a murder investigation.
:08:50. > :08:56.She only died as a result of the injury she sustained on that day,
:08:57. > :09:00.she was 87 but she was fit and well. We need the help of the local
:09:01. > :09:05.community, asking them to come forward. Did they see anybody acting
:09:06. > :09:06.suspiciously around Castleton Avenue at 3pm, were there perhaps driving
:09:07. > :09:14.through? Did they see anybody looking through
:09:15. > :09:18.windows, driving around? What was the motive? We believe it was
:09:19. > :09:22.burglary, and again, we need the local community to come forward and
:09:23. > :09:23.tell us who they think might be committing this type of crime in and
:09:24. > :09:30.around the local area. If they have some names, please get
:09:31. > :09:35.in touch and we can establish whether they are linked. There were
:09:36. > :09:40.not many things stolen, but Eileen did have her wedding ring stolen. It
:09:41. > :09:46.was taken, it had huge sentimental value to the family and they want it
:09:47. > :09:52.back. A single gold band, with a crosshatch design. Maybe the fact it
:09:53. > :09:58.has been sold in a local pawn shop, or it has changed hands. If you know
:09:59. > :10:02.where it is, please get in touch. There is a reward on offer. For the
:10:03. > :10:06.first time I can reveal that Greater Manchester Police are offering a
:10:07. > :10:10.?3000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person
:10:11. > :10:14.responsible. This was a brutal attack, we need to identify this man
:10:15. > :10:18.before he commits another crime of this nature. If you have any
:10:19. > :10:28.information, numbers are on screen. Well, we are of course
:10:29. > :10:30.in Manchester today. But where, just five five weeks ago,
:10:31. > :10:35.the lives of so many families were wrecked by the actions
:10:36. > :11:04.of a suicide bomber. I received a call from my on duty
:11:05. > :11:12.assistant, four minutes to 11... I will never forget the words she
:11:13. > :11:16.spoke to me at that time. A moment of feeling, is this real? And moment
:11:17. > :11:21.of numbness, and the dawning realisation that this was real,
:11:22. > :11:31.after-shock... Then you click in and focus, I have a job to do. Every
:11:32. > :11:35.single officer I have spoken to, it has had an effect on them. Some of
:11:36. > :11:39.them are really young in service, you can imagine the impact it has
:11:40. > :11:43.had on those individuals, you can see it in their faces when we meet,
:11:44. > :11:47.none of them want to speak publicly about what they went through, it is
:11:48. > :11:52.humbling that many of them say to me, I was just doing my job. 22
:11:53. > :12:03.people will never go home. It was quite frankly very shocking,
:12:04. > :12:12.the level of destruction that that bomb caused. It was terrible.
:12:13. > :12:18.Utterly terrible. I think trying to rationalise something as evil as
:12:19. > :12:24.that is really hard. It is just unthinkable. I really struggle to
:12:25. > :12:28.understand what would have driven somebody to attack a target,
:12:29. > :12:29.particularly a target where there are families and young children, and
:12:30. > :12:45.they would have known that. Tony Walsh summed it up with his
:12:46. > :12:49.pollen, this is the place. He summed up the mood quite brilliantly, I
:12:50. > :12:54.think, in terms of, that shock, that anger. But then, the defiance of
:12:55. > :12:59.people coming together and saying, we will come out on the street and
:13:00. > :13:08.continue to go to sporting events and concerts. -- with his pollen, --
:13:09. > :13:14.poem, This Is The Place. . This is the place that is our heart and our
:13:15. > :13:18.homes, this is a place that is part of our bones. Choose love,
:13:19. > :13:22.Manchester. Maybe that sense of hope in terms of some of the human
:13:23. > :13:30.stories we saw with people turning up and putting flowers in the
:13:31. > :13:34.square, providing meals to emergency services, taxi drivers giving free
:13:35. > :13:39.rides, the support we have had from businesses and volunteers, it has
:13:40. > :13:46.been really heartening, at what was an extremely dark, dark day. I am
:13:47. > :13:50.proud of GMP, but hugely proud of Greater Manchester.
:13:51. > :13:54.Powerful words from the Chief Constable.
:13:55. > :14:02.There is an extended version of that interview on the website.
:14:03. > :14:04.And if there's one thing the last five weeks have
:14:05. > :14:07.it is the incredible spirit of Manchester.
:14:08. > :14:10.The people of this city have shown such resilience and courage,
:14:11. > :14:12.it's been an absolute triumph of positivity through
:14:13. > :14:15.And helping us pay tribute to that,
:14:16. > :14:17.we're joined today by members of the GMP Band.
:14:18. > :14:19.Barry, you're the band leader and a retired officer yourself.
:14:20. > :14:27.The perception is that we are all police officers because of the
:14:28. > :14:30.uniforms but we are not, we have 60 volunteers connected to the work
:14:31. > :14:35.that we do, we support GMP events but also charity events. The events
:14:36. > :14:40.we have supported in the last five years have helped to generate
:14:41. > :14:45.?368,000 for the community and local charities. That really is fantastic!
:14:46. > :14:50.Thank you very much. Jonathan, on percussion, what has the response
:14:51. > :14:53.from the book been like over the last few weeks? Fantastic, I have
:14:54. > :14:58.been out in the city with officers, people have been thanking us,
:14:59. > :15:02.shaking hands, two embracing us, giving hugs, sharing their motion
:15:03. > :15:08.with us... It has been replicated by us going out into the city. --
:15:09. > :15:13.sharing their emotion with us. Able taking us out for dinner, not
:15:14. > :15:19.letting us pray. How much has been donated, those we love Manchester
:15:20. > :15:22.banners, all of that. Over ?2 million has been raised from the
:15:23. > :15:25.wheel of Manchester appeal, it is the 140th anniversary of this police
:15:26. > :15:39.band, only fitting really that we hear some music.
:15:40. > :15:47.what a wonderful way to raise the spirits.
:15:48. > :15:50.Next, will you recognise any of today's criminals caught on CCTV?
:15:51. > :15:59.Just so you know - one of these is pretty nasty.
:16:00. > :16:06.Look closely as CCTV catches stealthy intruders at a house in
:16:07. > :16:10.Cobb in Surrey. These three investigate each look and cranny of
:16:11. > :16:15.the house, up and down they go, scouring every inch of the property.
:16:16. > :16:20.But one of them is not happy about the partner uttering his name in
:16:21. > :16:25.someone else's house uninvited and lets him know. Stop saying my name.
:16:26. > :16:31.Eventually the trio decide on what they want to take. A folding bike
:16:32. > :16:37.and Porsche Boxster keys. Luckily the car was not at the property at
:16:38. > :16:42.the time and the owner managed to hold onto it while he had the keys
:16:43. > :16:49.cut. Do you recognise any of these thieves? If you look carefully, you
:16:50. > :16:54.will be able to see a man being attacked outside this co-op in
:16:55. > :16:58.Herefordshire. In scenes too shocking to show, they repeatedly
:16:59. > :17:04.punch and kick him as he lies on the ground. Not only did they attack the
:17:05. > :17:14.victim but robbed him of a family heirloom, gold ring worth money and
:17:15. > :17:23.sentimental value. They still need to be stopped. Do you know who they
:17:24. > :17:28.are? Imagine coming home and checking CCTV to find this crew
:17:29. > :17:32.creeping around your back garden. In the early hours of New Year's Day
:17:33. > :17:37.these troublemakers are caught scouring the back of the property,
:17:38. > :17:42.trying to find a way in. They are not having luck, until one fella
:17:43. > :17:48.eventually spots a ladder and puts it to use. They carefully clamber
:17:49. > :17:53.onto a balcony, but what you do not see is them kicking in a patio door
:17:54. > :18:03.before pinching ?100,000 worth of jewellery. Police say the trio make
:18:04. > :18:04.off with the loot out of sight. The pictures are not great, but someone
:18:05. > :18:07.knows who they are. If you recognised anyone,
:18:08. > :18:10.get on the phone now. It's free and the number
:18:11. > :18:14.is 08000 468999. Text CW, space and
:18:15. > :18:21.then your message. Texts will be charged
:18:22. > :18:23.at your standard message rate. Now we're really hoping you can help
:18:24. > :18:33.us solve this next case. A young man who was the carer
:18:34. > :18:36.for his disabled family. Until a night out to celebrate
:18:37. > :19:00.a friend's birthday ended It was a complete blur, I had no
:19:01. > :19:04.idea how I ended up there. For 20-year-old Aadum Hussein, nothing
:19:05. > :19:10.beats hanging out with his mates. I love going out with my friends. We
:19:11. > :19:14.are a close group and have good fun. As the main carer for his sister and
:19:15. > :19:23.parents, it is not something he does very often. There is my dad, who is
:19:24. > :19:28.disabled. Then there is my mother, she has had several back operations
:19:29. > :19:34.and suffers with a kidney disease. There is also my sister. She is
:19:35. > :19:41.profoundly disabled but probably the most high-spirited person in the
:19:42. > :19:45.house. Everything in our house rotates around Aadum, because if he
:19:46. > :19:55.is not around, we would not be able to do 90% of what we do now. In
:19:56. > :19:58.January this year, Aadum and friends organised a rare night out in
:19:59. > :20:04.Manchester city centre to celebrate one of their birthdays. It had been
:20:05. > :20:10.planned a while and when the night came around we were all happy, ready
:20:11. > :20:18.to go, the energy was up there. In Dean skate Locks, in a club called
:20:19. > :20:22.Revolution. Everyone was in a good mood. Once we got into the club we
:20:23. > :20:27.got down to dancing and having a couple of drinks and everything was
:20:28. > :20:33.good and fun. The night was off to a great start. The club was busy and
:20:34. > :20:38.because of this there was a bit of push and shove for people to get
:20:39. > :20:41.past to one place and another and we ended up bumping into someone and a
:20:42. > :20:46.bit of drinks spilled onto his shirt. The man confronted Aadum who
:20:47. > :20:50.tried to calm things down. We responded we were sorry and these
:20:51. > :20:54.things happened in a club and it was left to right now. The rest of the
:20:55. > :20:58.time at the club passed uneventfully and at the end of the night, the
:20:59. > :21:05.friends went outside to make their way home. But they were being
:21:06. > :21:13.followed. There were lots of taxes. I was trying to pick out which was
:21:14. > :21:18.my Uber. It meant bending down and talking to drivers to see which was
:21:19. > :21:22.mine. Police believe the person who confronted Aadum earlier was
:21:23. > :21:29.watching. They say the man sprinted across the traffic towards him.
:21:30. > :21:38.Aadum was struck with a single blow to the back of his head and fell to
:21:39. > :21:43.the ground unconscious. To my friends it was probably one of the
:21:44. > :21:46.most scary situations. A couple thought I may not ever get up again
:21:47. > :21:51.because they have never seen someone go down in that manner. They rang
:21:52. > :22:00.999, but the attacker ran off into the night. Aadum woke up in
:22:01. > :22:07.hospital. It was a complete blur, I had no idea how I ended up there. I
:22:08. > :22:15.had a massive amount of confusion and did not really remember my name.
:22:16. > :22:20.I suffered a sub board but all -- orbital fracture in my skull and
:22:21. > :22:28.damage to the upper vertebrae in my neck and a plead on my brain. His
:22:29. > :22:32.main concern was for family members who depend on him. In a sense they
:22:33. > :22:39.were left to fend for themselves which was hard for them to do. As
:22:40. > :22:44.well as his physical injuries, Aadum battled the emotional strain of the
:22:45. > :22:50.situation. Now I am more cautious with what I am doing and certain
:22:51. > :22:55.things are more uncomfortable. It must be tough for him to feel a bit
:22:56. > :23:00.vulnerable. Maliciously attacking someone with no intent other than
:23:01. > :23:01.just to hurt them, even now is completely confusing, because I
:23:02. > :23:06.would never imagine such a thing. I'm joined now by
:23:07. > :23:19.Detective Constable That was a single punch with
:23:20. > :23:23.devastating consequences. That is right, it was an unprovoked attack
:23:24. > :23:27.on an innocent man. Aadum was completely blindsided by the punch.
:23:28. > :23:33.As he fell, he banged his head which has left him with serious injuries,
:23:34. > :23:38.which have been a bleed on the brain, fractured skull and alignment
:23:39. > :23:41.issues with the vertebrae. He has had difficulty dealing with the
:23:42. > :23:46.psychological effects and is seeking counselling, but as the video shows,
:23:47. > :23:51.he is the prime carer for his family and the fact he has been bedridden
:23:52. > :23:58.three months has had a devastating effect. With this CCTV, we cannot
:23:59. > :24:04.see the punch, but you have clear CCTV footage from the night. We have
:24:05. > :24:09.footage of a male involved in the altercation over the spilt drink.
:24:10. > :24:14.What it shows is this mail then appears to follow Aadum and friends
:24:15. > :24:18.out of the club and at one point even holding back to allow them
:24:19. > :24:25.passed. We would describe him as white, late 20s to mid-30s, stocky,
:24:26. > :24:26.around six foot tall. From witness accounts we believe it is the male
:24:27. > :24:35.who went on to punch Aadum. If you know who this man
:24:36. > :24:38.is please do get in touch. Or you can speak to
:24:39. > :24:40.Crimestoppers anonymously. Right, lots more still
:24:41. > :24:45.to come this morning. We go behind the scenes to show how
:24:46. > :24:49.emergency services across the UK And the woman attacked
:24:50. > :25:08.out walking her dog. I think if I wouldn't have
:25:09. > :25:10.been as quick-thinking, I wouldn't have retaliated
:25:11. > :25:11.and fought back. But first, plant and agricultural
:25:12. > :25:21.theft is estimated to cost farmers I'm joined by DC Chris Piggott
:25:22. > :25:26.from a specialist unit set up to fight back
:25:27. > :25:37.against countryside criminals. You have brought in items that
:25:38. > :25:44.clearly would not be stolen by joyriders. Who is stealing them? Two
:25:45. > :25:49.typical bits of farm machinery. Being stolen by organised gangs.
:25:50. > :25:56.This equipment is probably worth in the region of ?150,000. A massive
:25:57. > :26:00.amount of money. It is an organised event to get one of these. How are
:26:01. > :26:03.they getting them stolen and where do they go? May take them in the
:26:04. > :26:09.middle of the night and often leave the country overnight on the back of
:26:10. > :26:15.vehicles, put into containers and going all over the world. We can see
:26:16. > :26:20.images of stuff stolen before. We can see the team in action in the
:26:21. > :26:26.containers. This Reg tractor, how much was it worth? That is a Massey
:26:27. > :26:31.Ferguson ?80,000, stolen in Scotland and transported down to Dover on a
:26:32. > :26:35.forced number plate where an eagle eyed officer spotted the false plate
:26:36. > :26:40.and seized it, but it was on its way to Eastern Europe. You have one that
:26:41. > :26:44.was found in Eastern Europe, what is the story? Thanks to colleagues in
:26:45. > :26:49.Poland, they identified this one they tried to register over there
:26:50. > :26:56.and it was repatriated by NFU Mutual. It came back to the country,
:26:57. > :27:01.it is worth ?45,000. It is a lot of money. What can people do to protect
:27:02. > :27:06.themselves? We recommend tracking systems so they can get early
:27:07. > :27:13.alerts. On this, it is marked up at the point of manufacture. That is
:27:14. > :27:21.Cesar, a triple their of security with the Tampa evident labels. It
:27:22. > :27:24.can be scanned and you have UV solution that houses microdots
:27:25. > :27:29.painted around the machine to help us identify and that reduces the
:27:30. > :27:36.chance of theft because it is a visible deterrent. You have an
:27:37. > :27:44.appeal today. Unwanted visitors we can see on a farm in Warwickshire.
:27:45. > :27:48.Shipston on Stour, a farmer was targeted on the 26th of April before
:27:49. > :27:54.midnight. We can see the offenders we would like to speak to taking a
:27:55. > :27:58.Suzuki Quad bike. We have had a series of thefts in the area and are
:27:59. > :28:05.keen to nip it in the bud. We have a nice image of one of them. I am sure
:28:06. > :28:07.someone watching will have an idea of who that person is. Thanks for
:28:08. > :28:12.joining us. Please get in touch. We're here in Manchester where, last
:28:13. > :28:16.month, a terrorist attack killed 22 The effectiveness of the response
:28:17. > :28:22.that night was widely praised. We went behind the scenes with UK
:28:23. > :28:24.emergency teams to find out how they train to deal
:28:25. > :28:42.with and hopefully Across the UK, 365 days a year,
:28:43. > :28:46.emergency crews had to be ready for large-scale disaster. We train
:28:47. > :28:54.constantly. With the attacks in Manchester, we know our training is
:28:55. > :28:59.more critical than ever. The urban search and rescue programme was set
:29:00. > :29:02.up in the wake of 9/11 to give the Fire Service skills and equipment
:29:03. > :29:13.needed to respond to a range of emergencies. The primary thrust is
:29:14. > :29:18.in recovery and rescue of people in a dangerous environment and every
:29:19. > :29:22.member of staff has at least one specialist skill. Today the team
:29:23. > :29:25.have replicated the aftermath of a building collapse caused by an
:29:26. > :29:34.explosion. Someone is trapped underneath. The first port of call
:29:35. > :29:39.is the dog, who will give a quick indication of live casualties and
:29:40. > :29:48.cover the pile within ten minutes, quicker than the search teams can.
:29:49. > :29:54.Sid gets to work and effortlessly scales the huge rubble pile,
:29:55. > :29:58.sniffing out any signs of life. Within minutes, he has found the
:29:59. > :30:06.scent of a casualty and indicates by barking. Good lad. With an area
:30:07. > :30:10.identified, the team moving. We are going to put the camera down and
:30:11. > :30:15.hopefully we will get visual contact with the casualty. We have the
:30:16. > :30:16.facility with a camera and they can give more information where they
:30:17. > :30:31.are. Keep going, keep going... There we
:30:32. > :30:38.go. Can you hear us? Yes. The location of the casualty is
:30:39. > :30:41.confirmed. But it is blocked. Using specialised wet cutting gear,
:30:42. > :30:42.including a heavy duty concretes chainsaw, they cut through a four
:30:43. > :31:04.inch slab to free the trapped man. Mission accomplished. But, as well
:31:05. > :31:09.as preparing to deal with the aftermath of an attack, training to
:31:10. > :31:15.prevent terrorist attacks is now more crucial than ever. We have a
:31:16. > :31:19.continual year-round programme of local, regional and national
:31:20. > :31:23.exercising, that is an important part of all of our preparer and is
:31:24. > :31:27.for dealing with major incidents, whether terrorist major incidents or
:31:28. > :31:31.not. The national college of policing runs dedicated courses
:31:32. > :31:34.designed to give the lease offices the skills and knowledge they need
:31:35. > :31:41.to prevent the public from the threat of terror. We have been
:31:42. > :31:43.delivering training for counterterrorism for 31 years in
:31:44. > :31:48.conjunction with the military. One of the most sought-after courses, we
:31:49. > :31:52.are delivering more training than we ever have before. The officers are
:31:53. > :31:56.trained by police and military experts, to recognise hundreds of
:31:57. > :32:01.objects and components that could be used to make a home-made bomb or
:32:02. > :32:06.improvised expose of device. The ingenuity of a terrorist is the only
:32:07. > :32:09.thing that limits them in relation to what that improvised expose of
:32:10. > :32:16.device could look like, sometimes disguised as an everyday object.
:32:17. > :32:20.Then it is time to put theory into practice in real-world situations,
:32:21. > :32:28.today, the recruits are carrying out a vehicle search. Hidden within this
:32:29. > :32:34.car, are items that could be used to commit a lethal attack. They are
:32:35. > :32:39.working systematically, if you work as a pair, you will make significant
:32:40. > :32:47.finds, if you start to separate, that is when things will get missed.
:32:48. > :32:51.Take the head rest... Very intensive course, a lot of pressure,
:32:52. > :32:56.especially in the current climate. That creates added impetus. Just
:32:57. > :33:02.minutes in, the team have their first fine. Stop, I have got a blue
:33:03. > :33:06.item. This is a military detonator cord... And soon afterwards, they
:33:07. > :33:17.discover something else. I have got a... Weston... A single bullet, a
:33:18. > :33:21.nine millimetre round, on the scale of the vehicle is very small. Each
:33:22. > :33:25.of these minute objects are potentially lethal in the wrong
:33:26. > :33:30.hands, so it is crucial that the officers learn to leave no stone
:33:31. > :33:35.unturned. Each CD needs to be removed from there, and the actual
:33:36. > :33:41.sleeve examined. Detonator. Explosive find. An intensive
:33:42. > :33:46.learning curve, the need for these courses has never been greater.
:33:47. > :33:51.I think the demand for counterterrorism training has risen
:33:52. > :33:58.to meet the threat, the spectre of terrorism has not gone away. It is
:33:59. > :34:03.this kind of ongoing training which enabled the emergency services to
:34:04. > :34:07.respond so efficiently to the devastating Manchester and London
:34:08. > :34:11.attacks. All of us hoped and prayed we would not face anything like
:34:12. > :34:15.this, because of the testing and exercising and because of those
:34:16. > :34:19.relationships, it came together as a team very quickly. Their
:34:20. > :34:21.professionalism has kicked in, they have done everything they can to
:34:22. > :34:25.support those who were injured. Now it's time for a look
:34:26. > :34:29.at today's Wanted Faces. Murder squad detectives
:34:30. > :34:31.from the West Midlands would like to speak to him
:34:32. > :34:34.after a man was stabbed to death in Brierley Hill
:34:35. > :34:36.in October last year. The 19-year-old has a large
:34:37. > :34:40.scar on his forehead and a tattoo of the word
:34:41. > :34:43."Mum" on his right wrist. He's known to have friends
:34:44. > :34:45.across the West Midlands Or do you recognise
:34:46. > :34:49.Rossi Michael Henderson? He was jailed for five and a half
:34:50. > :34:52.years for manslaughter and then But he's failed to stick
:34:53. > :34:56.to his conditions and is now Henderson is 29 and has a tattoo
:34:57. > :35:00.of a snake on his left arm He has links to Sussex, South
:35:01. > :35:06.London, Sunderland and Bedfordshire. He was due in court after failing
:35:07. > :35:11.to stick to the requirements but didn't turn up and a warrant has
:35:12. > :35:15.been issued for his arrest. Thrower is described
:35:16. > :35:17.as a danger to women He has links to Harrogate, York
:35:18. > :35:21.and Bradford but could be travelling Finally, have you spotted
:35:22. > :35:27.Pamela Dawn Clarke? She was due to appear in court
:35:28. > :35:30.in York in connection with dealing and possessing class A drugs,
:35:31. > :35:33.but didn't turn up. and has links to Middlesborough,
:35:34. > :35:38.York and Brighton. She has long hair
:35:39. > :35:53.that is often dyed red. Next, can you help police track down
:35:54. > :35:56.the man who attacked a young woman, in broad daylight, in the middle
:35:57. > :36:01.of a park? The words of the victim are spoken
:36:02. > :36:11.by an actor. I think if I would not have been so
:36:12. > :36:13.quick thinking and would not have retaliated, I don't think I would be
:36:14. > :36:23.here now. VOICEOVER: On the evening of April
:36:24. > :36:30.23, Gemma went out for a walk with her dog. I was over at my parents, I
:36:31. > :36:37.had been there for lunch and spend the afternoon with my mother. Just
:36:38. > :36:44.after 6:15pm when she arrived at Bedford Fields, in Salford. I had
:36:45. > :36:49.used that walkway for about nine years. You feel at peace there
:36:50. > :36:54.because it is so calm and quiet. Because it was a nice day, it was
:36:55. > :36:57.quite calm on the field, there was not any other dogs around that I
:36:58. > :37:02.needed to worry about with my dog being off the lead. I decided to
:37:03. > :37:06.walk another time around the field. As she continued on her way, she
:37:07. > :37:14.noticed a stranger walking towards her. Cap on, hooded top on, pull
:37:15. > :37:21.high around his neck. I presumed at this point he was going to walk past
:37:22. > :37:24.me and our paths would cross. And he would then be on his way and I would
:37:25. > :37:30.continue around the field on my normal walk. And then I realised at
:37:31. > :37:39.one point he is not actually going to walk past me, he was approaching
:37:40. > :37:43.me. The stranger asked for the time. I have pulled out my phone and hit
:37:44. > :37:51.the button on my phone to give him the time. Before she could get any
:37:52. > :37:56.further... The man grabbed her. I did not really understand what was
:37:57. > :38:00.going on, because it took me by surprise. It was only when I noticed
:38:01. > :38:06.he was heading in the direction of the bushes that I thought, this is
:38:07. > :38:13.actually quite serious. At that point I probably started to fear a
:38:14. > :38:17.little bit for my life. The attacker ripped the maternity ring, wedding
:38:18. > :38:22.ring and engagement ring from her fingers, but then the assault took
:38:23. > :38:27.an even more sinister turn. -- eternity ring. At the point when he
:38:28. > :38:29.pulled out the knife and had it to my throat, at that point I thought
:38:30. > :38:44.to myself, I am going to be raped. I thought, I'm not going to go out
:38:45. > :38:48.without a fight. Pushing herself off the ground, Gemma used all her
:38:49. > :38:55.strength to fight off her attacker. She snatched up to the rings from
:38:56. > :39:01.the ground and ran, followed by her dog. I stopped to catch my breath
:39:02. > :39:07.for a brief second, turned around to make sure I was not being followed.
:39:08. > :39:13.She made her way home, and called the police. But even though Gemma
:39:14. > :39:21.managed to get away from her attacker, she cannot escape the
:39:22. > :39:25.sickening memories of that day. It has been traumatic. I have been
:39:26. > :39:32.having flashbacks. I'm struggling at times to breathe. My chest gets
:39:33. > :39:38.tight, which is then going on to a full-blown panic attack. I'm
:39:39. > :39:42.struggling to sleep. I think, if I would not have been as quick
:39:43. > :39:46.thinking, I would not have retaliated and back, I've don't
:39:47. > :39:56.think I would be here now, I think he would have raped me and killed
:39:57. > :39:59.me, I definitely feared for my life will stop a
:40:00. > :40:08.Do we know if there was any eyewitnesses? From speaking with the
:40:09. > :40:13.victim, a number of people were around in the area, on the day this
:40:14. > :40:16.happened, the victim approached a number of people as she was trying
:40:17. > :40:23.to escape, we trace those people, we would be keen to speak with anybody
:40:24. > :40:31.else who may help. And you do have an efit of the offender? Yes, the
:40:32. > :40:40.victim was able to help us put together an image. The attacker got
:40:41. > :40:44.away with some of her possessions. The wedding ring and the mobile
:40:45. > :40:51.phone are still outstanding, that is all the more traumatic, that she has
:40:52. > :40:53.lost such a personal item. If you have any information, we are
:40:54. > :40:56.appealing for the information today. Please make sure you get in touch
:40:57. > :40:59.with us with the numbers on the screen. Victims of any crime can
:41:00. > :41:09.contact the support number. Time now for a look
:41:10. > :41:11.at what's been coming Last week, you may remember
:41:12. > :41:15.we asked for your help in identifying a man
:41:16. > :41:17.police want to trace after 59-year-old grandmother
:41:18. > :41:19.Susan Steel was punched to the ground in a
:41:20. > :41:21.cemetery in Bradford. He was later seen
:41:22. > :41:25.riding away on a bike. Well, you've given detectives
:41:26. > :41:28.a potential name, Also we showed you CCTV of a man
:41:29. > :41:33.wanted by police after more than ?1,000 worth of tools
:41:34. > :41:35.were stolen from a building Again you've given more
:41:36. > :41:48.names, which officers One of the wanted faces we featured
:41:49. > :41:52.last week as handed himself in after seeing himself on the programme,
:41:53. > :41:57.great news! Where will you be tomorrow, Michelle?
:41:58. > :42:02.I'll be in Preston, learning about the science of solving crime.
:42:03. > :42:05.Plus lots more appeals, including the shocking case of two
:42:06. > :42:08.cats left fighting for their lives after being shot with an air rifle.
:42:09. > :42:17.Don't forget you can see all our appeals,
:42:18. > :42:25.wanted faces and CCTV on the Crimewatch Roadshow website.
:42:26. > :42:28.But before we go, let's hear once more from the Greater Manchester
:42:29. > :42:31.Police band as we remember the 22 people who so sadly lost their lives
:42:32. > :44:04.Brexit means Brexit. We did it!
:44:05. > :44:07.To pretend that it's going to be plain sailing is such
:44:08. > :44:10.knuckle-headed lunacy. Happy days are here.
:44:11. > :44:12.They have said one thing one day, another thing the next day.
:44:13. > :44:17.think during the year that changed British politics?
