asking for your help to bring criminals to justice.

:00:00.:00:11.

Coming up on this morning's programme:

:00:12.:00:13.

The vicious robbery of a Manchester grandmother,

:00:14.:00:15.

He just wouldn't stop hitting me. That was the main thing.

:00:16.:00:23.

And a month after the devastating concert terror attack,

:00:24.:00:27.

to the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police

:00:28.:00:31.

about the moment the first calls came in.

:00:32.:00:36.

I received a call from my assistant on duty.

:00:37.:00:38.

It was around four minutes to 11 when she rang me.

:00:39.:00:43.

Won't ever forget words she spoke to me at the time.

:00:44.:00:45.

Hello and welcome to Crimewatch Roadshow.

:00:46.:01:15.

As always, we need your help to solve the crimes

:01:16.:01:17.

The young man left unable to care for his disabled

:01:18.:01:27.

family after a night out took a nasty turn.

:01:28.:01:29.

For my friends it was probably one of the most scary situations that

:01:30.:01:33.

A couple of them thought I may never even get up again,

:01:34.:01:36.

cos they'd never seen someone go down in that manner.

:01:37.:01:39.

And how does something like this go missing?

:01:40.:01:41.

How police are fighting back against the tractor thieves.

:01:42.:01:46.

Plus, Michelle has headed back home to Manchester.

:01:47.:01:52.

Good morning, Michelle. That's right, Rav.

:01:53.:01:59.

I'm here in Great Northern Square at the heart of the city centre.

:02:00.:02:04.

Since the horrific terrorist attack in the Arena just five weeks ago,

:02:05.:02:07.

we've seen an incredible human response from Manchester's citizens.

:02:08.:02:09.

Today, we're joined by the police band

:02:10.:02:12.

who will be paying tribute to this special city and the strength

:02:13.:02:15.

and spirit of the people who live and work here.

:02:16.:02:26.

But now it's time for our first appeal.

:02:27.:02:32.

In February, 87-year-old Eileen Blane was brutally

:02:33.:02:34.

Her sons are desperate to know who did it.

:02:35.:02:37.

He just wouldn't stop hitting me. That was the main thing.

:02:38.:02:41.

VOICEOVER: Family has always been that the heart of 87-year-old

:02:42.:03:11.

Eileen's life. She enjoyed family coming around, she enjoys watching

:03:12.:03:14.

my children grow up, my brother's children. My mother was the one...

:03:15.:03:23.

That she turns to all the time. For 63 years, she was happily married to

:03:24.:03:27.

husband, Andrew, until his death in 2003. My dad was everything to my

:03:28.:03:34.

mother, he was very difficult -- it was very difficult when my father

:03:35.:03:37.

first passed away but my mother being as she was, she became

:03:38.:03:43.

resilient, she got tough. With her husband gone, Eileen treasured one

:03:44.:03:45.

item in particular which held special memories of him. The wedding

:03:46.:03:50.

ring meant a great deal to my mother, she only had to look at it

:03:51.:03:54.

and it reminds her of my father and the life they had together.

:03:55.:04:00.

On the afternoon of Friday, February three, Eileen went shopping at her

:04:01.:04:07.

local supermarket. She was very fit and agile for her age. On a weekly

:04:08.:04:12.

basis she would get a little shopping trolley and go to the shop

:04:13.:04:17.

at the top of the road. CCTV from the supermarket shows her picking up

:04:18.:04:23.

her groceries. You don't realise how independent she was. She used to get

:04:24.:04:28.

on buses and take the dog for a walk... 87... When you think about

:04:29.:04:32.

it, you would not think she would be doing that. As she is coming home

:04:33.:04:39.

with the shopping, she thought she saw the window cleaner outside, gave

:04:40.:04:49.

him a little wave, came home. After she unpacked her shopping, there was

:04:50.:04:54.

a knock at the back door. Because she had only just seen the window

:04:55.:04:57.

cleaner, she automatically thought that he was coming to get paid. But

:04:58.:04:59.

it was not him. He punched her straight in the face.

:05:00.:05:10.

She did not have time to do anything. Then he hit her again. He

:05:11.:05:16.

was relentless, he would not stop. She was on the floor, and he

:05:17.:05:21.

continued to kick her. Eileen begged the man to stop. He kept on,

:05:22.:05:28.

demanding gold and money. My mother raised her hands, to say, I have got

:05:29.:05:33.

no goal, I have got no money. Unfortunately, he saw the Reading

:05:34.:05:36.

Wayne Long her finger. Ripping the wedding ring from her hand, he

:05:37.:05:40.

dragged her into the living room, through her Jack Russell into the

:05:41.:05:45.

wall. -- he saw the wedding ring. At this point he said, you are not

:05:46.:05:49.

getting out of here alive. Eileen was trapped. When her attacker went

:05:50.:05:56.

upstairs to search for more valuables, she seized the

:05:57.:05:59.

opportunity. The first thing she could think of was, picked up the

:06:00.:06:02.

little dog and run out the front door. She ran straight to a

:06:03.:06:10.

neighbours house. They the police. Eileen's attacker fled before they

:06:11.:06:21.

arrive. -- they called the police. She had bruises all over her face

:06:22.:06:26.

and her eyes and her nose. It was only when she went to hospital and

:06:27.:06:31.

had x-rays, that they found out she sustained three broken ribs and a

:06:32.:06:35.

broken vertebrae, in the base of her spine, where he had been kicking

:06:36.:06:39.

her. Despite her injuries, Eileen seemed to be making a good recovery.

:06:40.:06:47.

After five weeks in hospital, she was then really turning a corner.

:06:48.:06:51.

She was looking forward to getting home, seeing her little dog. On the

:06:52.:06:56.

31st of March, doctors finally deemed her well enough to go home.

:06:57.:07:03.

All she dreamt about and thought about was, I will be going home

:07:04.:07:05.

tomorrow, I will be going home tomorrow. When she was told she

:07:06.:07:08.

could go home, she was happy. But just a single day after her

:07:09.:07:16.

return home, Eileen passed away. Well, I lost my mum. I have lost a

:07:17.:07:33.

friend... I have lost everything. This burglar might think he has

:07:34.:07:38.

killed my mother, but he has killed us, inside.

:07:39.:08:07.

We have lost somebody to speak to, somebody to confide in. You can

:08:08.:08:16.

quantify that. I just hope that someone does catch him in the end so

:08:17.:08:19.

that another family like ours does not go through this. For the sake of

:08:20.:08:27.

30 quid and a wedding ring. What a price to pay.

:08:28.:08:36.

I'm joined by DCI Richard Eales from GMP's major incident unit.

:08:37.:08:42.

Richard, this was a really vicious attack.

:08:43.:08:47.

And you are now treating this as a murder investigation.

:08:48.:08:49.

She only died as a result of the injury she sustained on that day,

:08:50.:08:56.

she was 87 but she was fit and well. We need the help of the local

:08:57.:09:00.

community, asking them to come forward. Did they see anybody acting

:09:01.:09:05.

suspiciously around Castleton Avenue at 3pm, were there perhaps driving

:09:06.:09:06.

through? Did they see anybody looking through

:09:07.:09:14.

windows, driving around? What was the motive? We believe it was

:09:15.:09:18.

burglary, and again, we need the local community to come forward and

:09:19.:09:22.

tell us who they think might be committing this type of crime in and

:09:23.:09:23.

around the local area. If they have some names, please get

:09:24.:09:30.

in touch and we can establish whether they are linked. There were

:09:31.:09:35.

not many things stolen, but Eileen did have her wedding ring stolen. It

:09:36.:09:40.

was taken, it had huge sentimental value to the family and they want it

:09:41.:09:46.

back. A single gold band, with a crosshatch design. Maybe the fact it

:09:47.:09:52.

has been sold in a local pawn shop, or it has changed hands. If you know

:09:53.:09:58.

where it is, please get in touch. There is a reward on offer. For the

:09:59.:10:02.

first time I can reveal that Greater Manchester Police are offering a

:10:03.:10:06.

?3000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person

:10:07.:10:10.

responsible. This was a brutal attack, we need to identify this man

:10:11.:10:14.

before he commits another crime of this nature. If you have any

:10:15.:10:18.

information, numbers are on screen. Well, we are of course

:10:19.:10:28.

in Manchester today. But where, just five five weeks ago,

:10:29.:10:30.

the lives of so many families were wrecked by the actions

:10:31.:10:35.

of a suicide bomber. I received a call from my on duty

:10:36.:11:04.

assistant, four minutes to 11... I will never forget the words she

:11:05.:11:12.

spoke to me at that time. A moment of feeling, is this real? And moment

:11:13.:11:16.

of numbness, and the dawning realisation that this was real,

:11:17.:11:21.

after-shock... Then you click in and focus, I have a job to do. Every

:11:22.:11:31.

single officer I have spoken to, it has had an effect on them. Some of

:11:32.:11:35.

them are really young in service, you can imagine the impact it has

:11:36.:11:39.

had on those individuals, you can see it in their faces when we meet,

:11:40.:11:43.

none of them want to speak publicly about what they went through, it is

:11:44.:11:47.

humbling that many of them say to me, I was just doing my job. 22

:11:48.:11:52.

people will never go home. It was quite frankly very shocking,

:11:53.:12:03.

the level of destruction that that bomb caused. It was terrible.

:12:04.:12:12.

Utterly terrible. I think trying to rationalise something as evil as

:12:13.:12:18.

that is really hard. It is just unthinkable. I really struggle to

:12:19.:12:24.

understand what would have driven somebody to attack a target,

:12:25.:12:28.

particularly a target where there are families and young children, and

:12:29.:12:29.

they would have known that. Tony Walsh summed it up with his

:12:30.:12:45.

pollen, this is the place. He summed up the mood quite brilliantly, I

:12:46.:12:49.

think, in terms of, that shock, that anger. But then, the defiance of

:12:50.:12:54.

people coming together and saying, we will come out on the street and

:12:55.:12:59.

continue to go to sporting events and concerts. -- with his pollen, --

:13:00.:13:08.

poem, This Is The Place. . This is the place that is our heart and our

:13:09.:13:14.

homes, this is a place that is part of our bones. Choose love,

:13:15.:13:18.

Manchester. Maybe that sense of hope in terms of some of the human

:13:19.:13:22.

stories we saw with people turning up and putting flowers in the

:13:23.:13:30.

square, providing meals to emergency services, taxi drivers giving free

:13:31.:13:34.

rides, the support we have had from businesses and volunteers, it has

:13:35.:13:39.

been really heartening, at what was an extremely dark, dark day. I am

:13:40.:13:46.

proud of GMP, but hugely proud of Greater Manchester.

:13:47.:13:50.

Powerful words from the Chief Constable.

:13:51.:13:54.

There is an extended version of that interview on the website.

:13:55.:14:02.

And if there's one thing the last five weeks have

:14:03.:14:04.

it is the incredible spirit of Manchester.

:14:05.:14:07.

The people of this city have shown such resilience and courage,

:14:08.:14:10.

it's been an absolute triumph of positivity through

:14:11.:14:12.

And helping us pay tribute to that,

:14:13.:14:15.

we're joined today by members of the GMP Band.

:14:16.:14:17.

Barry, you're the band leader and a retired officer yourself.

:14:18.:14:19.

The perception is that we are all police officers because of the

:14:20.:14:27.

uniforms but we are not, we have 60 volunteers connected to the work

:14:28.:14:30.

that we do, we support GMP events but also charity events. The events

:14:31.:14:35.

we have supported in the last five years have helped to generate

:14:36.:14:40.

?368,000 for the community and local charities. That really is fantastic!

:14:41.:14:45.

Thank you very much. Jonathan, on percussion, what has the response

:14:46.:14:50.

from the book been like over the last few weeks? Fantastic, I have

:14:51.:14:53.

been out in the city with officers, people have been thanking us,

:14:54.:14:58.

shaking hands, two embracing us, giving hugs, sharing their motion

:14:59.:15:02.

with us... It has been replicated by us going out into the city. --

:15:03.:15:08.

sharing their emotion with us. Able taking us out for dinner, not

:15:09.:15:13.

letting us pray. How much has been donated, those we love Manchester

:15:14.:15:19.

banners, all of that. Over ?2 million has been raised from the

:15:20.:15:22.

wheel of Manchester appeal, it is the 140th anniversary of this police

:15:23.:15:25.

band, only fitting really that we hear some music.

:15:26.:15:39.

what a wonderful way to raise the spirits.

:15:40.:15:47.

Next, will you recognise any of today's criminals caught on CCTV?

:15:48.:15:50.

Just so you know - one of these is pretty nasty.

:15:51.:15:59.

Look closely as CCTV catches stealthy intruders at a house in

:16:00.:16:06.

Cobb in Surrey. These three investigate each look and cranny of

:16:07.:16:10.

the house, up and down they go, scouring every inch of the property.

:16:11.:16:15.

But one of them is not happy about the partner uttering his name in

:16:16.:16:20.

someone else's house uninvited and lets him know. Stop saying my name.

:16:21.:16:25.

Eventually the trio decide on what they want to take. A folding bike

:16:26.:16:31.

and Porsche Boxster keys. Luckily the car was not at the property at

:16:32.:16:37.

the time and the owner managed to hold onto it while he had the keys

:16:38.:16:42.

cut. Do you recognise any of these thieves? If you look carefully, you

:16:43.:16:49.

will be able to see a man being attacked outside this co-op in

:16:50.:16:54.

Herefordshire. In scenes too shocking to show, they repeatedly

:16:55.:16:58.

punch and kick him as he lies on the ground. Not only did they attack the

:16:59.:17:04.

victim but robbed him of a family heirloom, gold ring worth money and

:17:05.:17:14.

sentimental value. They still need to be stopped. Do you know who they

:17:15.:17:23.

are? Imagine coming home and checking CCTV to find this crew

:17:24.:17:28.

creeping around your back garden. In the early hours of New Year's Day

:17:29.:17:32.

these troublemakers are caught scouring the back of the property,

:17:33.:17:37.

trying to find a way in. They are not having luck, until one fella

:17:38.:17:42.

eventually spots a ladder and puts it to use. They carefully clamber

:17:43.:17:48.

onto a balcony, but what you do not see is them kicking in a patio door

:17:49.:17:53.

before pinching ?100,000 worth of jewellery. Police say the trio make

:17:54.:18:03.

off with the loot out of sight. The pictures are not great, but someone

:18:04.:18:04.

knows who they are. If you recognised anyone,

:18:05.:18:07.

get on the phone now. It's free and the number

:18:08.:18:10.

is 08000 468999. Text CW, space and

:18:11.:18:14.

then your message. Texts will be charged

:18:15.:18:21.

at your standard message rate. Now we're really hoping you can help

:18:22.:18:23.

us solve this next case. A young man who was the carer

:18:24.:18:33.

for his disabled family. Until a night out to celebrate

:18:34.:18:36.

a friend's birthday ended It was a complete blur, I had no

:18:37.:19:00.

idea how I ended up there. For 20-year-old Aadum Hussein, nothing

:19:01.:19:04.

beats hanging out with his mates. I love going out with my friends. We

:19:05.:19:10.

are a close group and have good fun. As the main carer for his sister and

:19:11.:19:14.

parents, it is not something he does very often. There is my dad, who is

:19:15.:19:23.

disabled. Then there is my mother, she has had several back operations

:19:24.:19:28.

and suffers with a kidney disease. There is also my sister. She is

:19:29.:19:34.

profoundly disabled but probably the most high-spirited person in the

:19:35.:19:41.

house. Everything in our house rotates around Aadum, because if he

:19:42.:19:45.

is not around, we would not be able to do 90% of what we do now. In

:19:46.:19:55.

January this year, Aadum and friends organised a rare night out in

:19:56.:19:58.

Manchester city centre to celebrate one of their birthdays. It had been

:19:59.:20:04.

planned a while and when the night came around we were all happy, ready

:20:05.:20:10.

to go, the energy was up there. In Dean skate Locks, in a club called

:20:11.:20:18.

Revolution. Everyone was in a good mood. Once we got into the club we

:20:19.:20:22.

got down to dancing and having a couple of drinks and everything was

:20:23.:20:27.

good and fun. The night was off to a great start. The club was busy and

:20:28.:20:33.

because of this there was a bit of push and shove for people to get

:20:34.:20:38.

past to one place and another and we ended up bumping into someone and a

:20:39.:20:41.

bit of drinks spilled onto his shirt. The man confronted Aadum who

:20:42.:20:46.

tried to calm things down. We responded we were sorry and these

:20:47.:20:50.

things happened in a club and it was left to right now. The rest of the

:20:51.:20:54.

time at the club passed uneventfully and at the end of the night, the

:20:55.:20:58.

friends went outside to make their way home. But they were being

:20:59.:21:05.

followed. There were lots of taxes. I was trying to pick out which was

:21:06.:21:13.

my Uber. It meant bending down and talking to drivers to see which was

:21:14.:21:18.

mine. Police believe the person who confronted Aadum earlier was

:21:19.:21:22.

watching. They say the man sprinted across the traffic towards him.

:21:23.:21:29.

Aadum was struck with a single blow to the back of his head and fell to

:21:30.:21:38.

the ground unconscious. To my friends it was probably one of the

:21:39.:21:43.

most scary situations. A couple thought I may not ever get up again

:21:44.:21:46.

because they have never seen someone go down in that manner. They rang

:21:47.:21:51.

999, but the attacker ran off into the night. Aadum woke up in

:21:52.:22:00.

hospital. It was a complete blur, I had no idea how I ended up there. I

:22:01.:22:07.

had a massive amount of confusion and did not really remember my name.

:22:08.:22:15.

I suffered a sub board but all -- orbital fracture in my skull and

:22:16.:22:20.

damage to the upper vertebrae in my neck and a plead on my brain. His

:22:21.:22:28.

main concern was for family members who depend on him. In a sense they

:22:29.:22:32.

were left to fend for themselves which was hard for them to do. As

:22:33.:22:39.

well as his physical injuries, Aadum battled the emotional strain of the

:22:40.:22:44.

situation. Now I am more cautious with what I am doing and certain

:22:45.:22:50.

things are more uncomfortable. It must be tough for him to feel a bit

:22:51.:22:55.

vulnerable. Maliciously attacking someone with no intent other than

:22:56.:23:00.

just to hurt them, even now is completely confusing, because I

:23:01.:23:01.

would never imagine such a thing. I'm joined now by

:23:02.:23:06.

Detective Constable That was a single punch with

:23:07.:23:19.

devastating consequences. That is right, it was an unprovoked attack

:23:20.:23:23.

on an innocent man. Aadum was completely blindsided by the punch.

:23:24.:23:27.

As he fell, he banged his head which has left him with serious injuries,

:23:28.:23:33.

which have been a bleed on the brain, fractured skull and alignment

:23:34.:23:38.

issues with the vertebrae. He has had difficulty dealing with the

:23:39.:23:41.

psychological effects and is seeking counselling, but as the video shows,

:23:42.:23:46.

he is the prime carer for his family and the fact he has been bedridden

:23:47.:23:51.

three months has had a devastating effect. With this CCTV, we cannot

:23:52.:23:58.

see the punch, but you have clear CCTV footage from the night. We have

:23:59.:24:04.

footage of a male involved in the altercation over the spilt drink.

:24:05.:24:09.

What it shows is this mail then appears to follow Aadum and friends

:24:10.:24:14.

out of the club and at one point even holding back to allow them

:24:15.:24:18.

passed. We would describe him as white, late 20s to mid-30s, stocky,

:24:19.:24:25.

around six foot tall. From witness accounts we believe it is the male

:24:26.:24:26.

who went on to punch Aadum. If you know who this man

:24:27.:24:35.

is please do get in touch. Or you can speak to

:24:36.:24:38.

Crimestoppers anonymously. Right, lots more still

:24:39.:24:40.

to come this morning. We go behind the scenes to show how

:24:41.:24:45.

emergency services across the UK And the woman attacked

:24:46.:24:49.

out walking her dog. I think if I wouldn't have

:24:50.:25:08.

been as quick-thinking, I wouldn't have retaliated

:25:09.:25:10.

and fought back. But first, plant and agricultural

:25:11.:25:11.

theft is estimated to cost farmers I'm joined by DC Chris Piggott

:25:12.:25:21.

from a specialist unit set up to fight back

:25:22.:25:26.

against countryside criminals. You have brought in items that

:25:27.:25:37.

clearly would not be stolen by joyriders. Who is stealing them? Two

:25:38.:25:44.

typical bits of farm machinery. Being stolen by organised gangs.

:25:45.:25:49.

This equipment is probably worth in the region of ?150,000. A massive

:25:50.:25:56.

amount of money. It is an organised event to get one of these. How are

:25:57.:26:00.

they getting them stolen and where do they go? May take them in the

:26:01.:26:03.

middle of the night and often leave the country overnight on the back of

:26:04.:26:09.

vehicles, put into containers and going all over the world. We can see

:26:10.:26:15.

images of stuff stolen before. We can see the team in action in the

:26:16.:26:20.

containers. This Reg tractor, how much was it worth? That is a Massey

:26:21.:26:26.

Ferguson ?80,000, stolen in Scotland and transported down to Dover on a

:26:27.:26:31.

forced number plate where an eagle eyed officer spotted the false plate

:26:32.:26:35.

and seized it, but it was on its way to Eastern Europe. You have one that

:26:36.:26:40.

was found in Eastern Europe, what is the story? Thanks to colleagues in

:26:41.:26:44.

Poland, they identified this one they tried to register over there

:26:45.:26:49.

and it was repatriated by NFU Mutual. It came back to the country,

:26:50.:26:56.

it is worth ?45,000. It is a lot of money. What can people do to protect

:26:57.:27:01.

themselves? We recommend tracking systems so they can get early

:27:02.:27:06.

alerts. On this, it is marked up at the point of manufacture. That is

:27:07.:27:13.

Cesar, a triple their of security with the Tampa evident labels. It

:27:14.:27:21.

can be scanned and you have UV solution that houses microdots

:27:22.:27:24.

painted around the machine to help us identify and that reduces the

:27:25.:27:29.

chance of theft because it is a visible deterrent. You have an

:27:30.:27:36.

appeal today. Unwanted visitors we can see on a farm in Warwickshire.

:27:37.:27:44.

Shipston on Stour, a farmer was targeted on the 26th of April before

:27:45.:27:48.

midnight. We can see the offenders we would like to speak to taking a

:27:49.:27:54.

Suzuki Quad bike. We have had a series of thefts in the area and are

:27:55.:27:58.

keen to nip it in the bud. We have a nice image of one of them. I am sure

:27:59.:28:05.

someone watching will have an idea of who that person is. Thanks for

:28:06.:28:07.

joining us. Please get in touch. We're here in Manchester where, last

:28:08.:28:12.

month, a terrorist attack killed 22 The effectiveness of the response

:28:13.:28:16.

that night was widely praised. We went behind the scenes with UK

:28:17.:28:22.

emergency teams to find out how they train to deal

:28:23.:28:24.

with and hopefully Across the UK, 365 days a year,

:28:25.:28:42.

emergency crews had to be ready for large-scale disaster. We train

:28:43.:28:46.

constantly. With the attacks in Manchester, we know our training is

:28:47.:28:54.

more critical than ever. The urban search and rescue programme was set

:28:55.:28:59.

up in the wake of 9/11 to give the Fire Service skills and equipment

:29:00.:29:02.

needed to respond to a range of emergencies. The primary thrust is

:29:03.:29:13.

in recovery and rescue of people in a dangerous environment and every

:29:14.:29:18.

member of staff has at least one specialist skill. Today the team

:29:19.:29:22.

have replicated the aftermath of a building collapse caused by an

:29:23.:29:25.

explosion. Someone is trapped underneath. The first port of call

:29:26.:29:34.

is the dog, who will give a quick indication of live casualties and

:29:35.:29:39.

cover the pile within ten minutes, quicker than the search teams can.

:29:40.:29:48.

Sid gets to work and effortlessly scales the huge rubble pile,

:29:49.:29:54.

sniffing out any signs of life. Within minutes, he has found the

:29:55.:29:58.

scent of a casualty and indicates by barking. Good lad. With an area

:29:59.:30:06.

identified, the team moving. We are going to put the camera down and

:30:07.:30:10.

hopefully we will get visual contact with the casualty. We have the

:30:11.:30:15.

facility with a camera and they can give more information where they

:30:16.:30:16.

are. Keep going, keep going... There we

:30:17.:30:31.

go. Can you hear us? Yes. The location of the casualty is

:30:32.:30:38.

confirmed. But it is blocked. Using specialised wet cutting gear,

:30:39.:30:41.

including a heavy duty concretes chainsaw, they cut through a four

:30:42.:30:42.

inch slab to free the trapped man. Mission accomplished. But, as well

:30:43.:31:04.

as preparing to deal with the aftermath of an attack, training to

:31:05.:31:09.

prevent terrorist attacks is now more crucial than ever. We have a

:31:10.:31:15.

continual year-round programme of local, regional and national

:31:16.:31:19.

exercising, that is an important part of all of our preparer and is

:31:20.:31:23.

for dealing with major incidents, whether terrorist major incidents or

:31:24.:31:27.

not. The national college of policing runs dedicated courses

:31:28.:31:31.

designed to give the lease offices the skills and knowledge they need

:31:32.:31:34.

to prevent the public from the threat of terror. We have been

:31:35.:31:41.

delivering training for counterterrorism for 31 years in

:31:42.:31:43.

conjunction with the military. One of the most sought-after courses, we

:31:44.:31:48.

are delivering more training than we ever have before. The officers are

:31:49.:31:52.

trained by police and military experts, to recognise hundreds of

:31:53.:31:56.

objects and components that could be used to make a home-made bomb or

:31:57.:32:01.

improvised expose of device. The ingenuity of a terrorist is the only

:32:02.:32:06.

thing that limits them in relation to what that improvised expose of

:32:07.:32:09.

device could look like, sometimes disguised as an everyday object.

:32:10.:32:16.

Then it is time to put theory into practice in real-world situations,

:32:17.:32:20.

today, the recruits are carrying out a vehicle search. Hidden within this

:32:21.:32:28.

car, are items that could be used to commit a lethal attack. They are

:32:29.:32:34.

working systematically, if you work as a pair, you will make significant

:32:35.:32:39.

finds, if you start to separate, that is when things will get missed.

:32:40.:32:47.

Take the head rest... Very intensive course, a lot of pressure,

:32:48.:32:51.

especially in the current climate. That creates added impetus. Just

:32:52.:32:56.

minutes in, the team have their first fine. Stop, I have got a blue

:32:57.:33:02.

item. This is a military detonator cord... And soon afterwards, they

:33:03.:33:06.

discover something else. I have got a... Weston... A single bullet, a

:33:07.:33:17.

nine millimetre round, on the scale of the vehicle is very small. Each

:33:18.:33:21.

of these minute objects are potentially lethal in the wrong

:33:22.:33:25.

hands, so it is crucial that the officers learn to leave no stone

:33:26.:33:30.

unturned. Each CD needs to be removed from there, and the actual

:33:31.:33:35.

sleeve examined. Detonator. Explosive find. An intensive

:33:36.:33:41.

learning curve, the need for these courses has never been greater.

:33:42.:33:46.

I think the demand for counterterrorism training has risen

:33:47.:33:51.

to meet the threat, the spectre of terrorism has not gone away. It is

:33:52.:33:58.

this kind of ongoing training which enabled the emergency services to

:33:59.:34:03.

respond so efficiently to the devastating Manchester and London

:34:04.:34:07.

attacks. All of us hoped and prayed we would not face anything like

:34:08.:34:11.

this, because of the testing and exercising and because of those

:34:12.:34:15.

relationships, it came together as a team very quickly. Their

:34:16.:34:19.

professionalism has kicked in, they have done everything they can to

:34:20.:34:21.

support those who were injured. Now it's time for a look

:34:22.:34:25.

at today's Wanted Faces. Murder squad detectives

:34:26.:34:29.

from the West Midlands would like to speak to him

:34:30.:34:31.

after a man was stabbed to death in Brierley Hill

:34:32.:34:34.

in October last year. The 19-year-old has a large

:34:35.:34:36.

scar on his forehead and a tattoo of the word

:34:37.:34:40.

"Mum" on his right wrist. He's known to have friends

:34:41.:34:43.

across the West Midlands Or do you recognise

:34:44.:34:45.

Rossi Michael Henderson? He was jailed for five and a half

:34:46.:34:49.

years for manslaughter and then But he's failed to stick

:34:50.:34:52.

to his conditions and is now Henderson is 29 and has a tattoo

:34:53.:34:56.

of a snake on his left arm He has links to Sussex, South

:34:57.:35:00.

London, Sunderland and Bedfordshire. He was due in court after failing

:35:01.:35:06.

to stick to the requirements but didn't turn up and a warrant has

:35:07.:35:11.

been issued for his arrest. Thrower is described

:35:12.:35:15.

as a danger to women He has links to Harrogate, York

:35:16.:35:17.

and Bradford but could be travelling Finally, have you spotted

:35:18.:35:21.

Pamela Dawn Clarke? She was due to appear in court

:35:22.:35:27.

in York in connection with dealing and possessing class A drugs,

:35:28.:35:30.

but didn't turn up. and has links to Middlesborough,

:35:31.:35:33.

York and Brighton. She has long hair

:35:34.:35:38.

that is often dyed red. Next, can you help police track down

:35:39.:35:53.

the man who attacked a young woman, in broad daylight, in the middle

:35:54.:35:56.

of a park? The words of the victim are spoken

:35:57.:36:01.

by an actor. I think if I would not have been so

:36:02.:36:11.

quick thinking and would not have retaliated, I don't think I would be

:36:12.:36:13.

here now. VOICEOVER: On the evening of April

:36:14.:36:23.

23, Gemma went out for a walk with her dog. I was over at my parents, I

:36:24.:36:30.

had been there for lunch and spend the afternoon with my mother. Just

:36:31.:36:37.

after 6:15pm when she arrived at Bedford Fields, in Salford. I had

:36:38.:36:44.

used that walkway for about nine years. You feel at peace there

:36:45.:36:49.

because it is so calm and quiet. Because it was a nice day, it was

:36:50.:36:54.

quite calm on the field, there was not any other dogs around that I

:36:55.:36:57.

needed to worry about with my dog being off the lead. I decided to

:36:58.:37:02.

walk another time around the field. As she continued on her way, she

:37:03.:37:06.

noticed a stranger walking towards her. Cap on, hooded top on, pull

:37:07.:37:14.

high around his neck. I presumed at this point he was going to walk past

:37:15.:37:21.

me and our paths would cross. And he would then be on his way and I would

:37:22.:37:24.

continue around the field on my normal walk. And then I realised at

:37:25.:37:30.

one point he is not actually going to walk past me, he was approaching

:37:31.:37:39.

me. The stranger asked for the time. I have pulled out my phone and hit

:37:40.:37:43.

the button on my phone to give him the time. Before she could get any

:37:44.:37:51.

further... The man grabbed her. I did not really understand what was

:37:52.:37:56.

going on, because it took me by surprise. It was only when I noticed

:37:57.:38:00.

he was heading in the direction of the bushes that I thought, this is

:38:01.:38:06.

actually quite serious. At that point I probably started to fear a

:38:07.:38:13.

little bit for my life. The attacker ripped the maternity ring, wedding

:38:14.:38:17.

ring and engagement ring from her fingers, but then the assault took

:38:18.:38:22.

an even more sinister turn. -- eternity ring. At the point when he

:38:23.:38:27.

pulled out the knife and had it to my throat, at that point I thought

:38:28.:38:29.

to myself, I am going to be raped. I thought, I'm not going to go out

:38:30.:38:44.

without a fight. Pushing herself off the ground, Gemma used all her

:38:45.:38:48.

strength to fight off her attacker. She snatched up to the rings from

:38:49.:38:55.

the ground and ran, followed by her dog. I stopped to catch my breath

:38:56.:39:01.

for a brief second, turned around to make sure I was not being followed.

:39:02.:39:07.

She made her way home, and called the police. But even though Gemma

:39:08.:39:13.

managed to get away from her attacker, she cannot escape the

:39:14.:39:21.

sickening memories of that day. It has been traumatic. I have been

:39:22.:39:25.

having flashbacks. I'm struggling at times to breathe. My chest gets

:39:26.:39:32.

tight, which is then going on to a full-blown panic attack. I'm

:39:33.:39:38.

struggling to sleep. I think, if I would not have been as quick

:39:39.:39:42.

thinking, I would not have retaliated and back, I've don't

:39:43.:39:46.

think I would be here now, I think he would have raped me and killed

:39:47.:39:56.

me, I definitely feared for my life will stop a

:39:57.:39:59.

Do we know if there was any eyewitnesses? From speaking with the

:40:00.:40:08.

victim, a number of people were around in the area, on the day this

:40:09.:40:13.

happened, the victim approached a number of people as she was trying

:40:14.:40:16.

to escape, we trace those people, we would be keen to speak with anybody

:40:17.:40:23.

else who may help. And you do have an efit of the offender? Yes, the

:40:24.:40:31.

victim was able to help us put together an image. The attacker got

:40:32.:40:40.

away with some of her possessions. The wedding ring and the mobile

:40:41.:40:44.

phone are still outstanding, that is all the more traumatic, that she has

:40:45.:40:51.

lost such a personal item. If you have any information, we are

:40:52.:40:53.

appealing for the information today. Please make sure you get in touch

:40:54.:40:56.

with us with the numbers on the screen. Victims of any crime can

:40:57.:40:59.

contact the support number. Time now for a look

:41:00.:41:09.

at what's been coming Last week, you may remember

:41:10.:41:11.

we asked for your help in identifying a man

:41:12.:41:15.

police want to trace after 59-year-old grandmother

:41:16.:41:17.

Susan Steel was punched to the ground in a

:41:18.:41:19.

cemetery in Bradford. He was later seen

:41:20.:41:21.

riding away on a bike. Well, you've given detectives

:41:22.:41:25.

a potential name, Also we showed you CCTV of a man

:41:26.:41:28.

wanted by police after more than ?1,000 worth of tools

:41:29.:41:33.

were stolen from a building Again you've given more

:41:34.:41:35.

names, which officers One of the wanted faces we featured

:41:36.:41:48.

last week as handed himself in after seeing himself on the programme,

:41:49.:41:52.

great news! Where will you be tomorrow, Michelle?

:41:53.:41:57.

I'll be in Preston, learning about the science of solving crime.

:41:58.:42:02.

Plus lots more appeals, including the shocking case of two

:42:03.:42:05.

cats left fighting for their lives after being shot with an air rifle.

:42:06.:42:08.

Don't forget you can see all our appeals,

:42:09.:42:17.

wanted faces and CCTV on the Crimewatch Roadshow website.

:42:18.:42:25.

But before we go, let's hear once more from the Greater Manchester

:42:26.:42:28.

Police band as we remember the 22 people who so sadly lost their lives

:42:29.:42:31.

Brexit means Brexit. We did it!

:42:32.:44:04.

To pretend that it's going to be plain sailing is such

:44:05.:44:07.

knuckle-headed lunacy. Happy days are here.

:44:08.:44:10.

They have said one thing one day, another thing the next day.

:44:11.:44:12.

think during the year that changed British politics?
