It's the final show of the week and we're hoping that, | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
with your help, we can bring some criminals to justice. | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
The masked gang who attacked an eight-year-old-girl | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
Walking up them stairs, I feared the worst. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
I thought I was going to find them dead. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
And I'm with the Marine Rescue Unit in Liverpool finding out how | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Live for the next 45 minutes, you're watching Crimewatch Roadshow. | :00:29. | :00:59. | |
Hello and welcome to Crimewatch Roadshow. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
As always, we need your help to solve the crimes | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
I take to two wheels to see how police cope when their peaceful | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
I can really see with so many twists and turns in the road, | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
how even experienced riders could quite easily get caught out. | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
And the increase in animal cruelty - how this dog survived one | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
of the worst cases of brutality the RSPCA has ever seen. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
Today, Michelle is on the water in Liverpool - | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
I am with Merseyside's Fire and Rescue team, at their floating | :01:39. | :01:55. | |
station. They work hard to keep this stretch of water safe 365 days a | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
year and cover miles of coastline and later I will see how they train | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
in a dramatic river rescue. But now it's time for our first | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
appeal and we need your help catch the armed gang who broke | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
into a family home and attacked I dropped everything and ran out of | :02:10. | :02:23. | |
the door, jumped into my car and got here as quickly as possible. I | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
feared the worst. What is this called? He is the famous one. Family | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
man and pub manager Stephen Hughes lives with his wife Kellianne who | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
remarried last year and his eight-year-old stepdaughter Olivia. | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
-- who he married. One evening in Fabry he went to work on a charity | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
single he'd worked on in his spare time. We had been working on a | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Hillsborough charity single and put the final touches to it. He let | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
Kellianne getting Olivia ready for bed. I was expecting to be out an | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
hour, maybe two hours. Not long after he left, Steven received a | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
call from his wife. Hello. Obviously very upset, saying she could hear | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
noises. Coming from downstairs. She was upstairs with Olivia, saying | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
somebody was getting in the house. From the tone of her voice I could | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
tell it was serious. Three intruders had broken into the | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
house. Kellianne saw them from the landing and, terrified, barricaded | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
herself and her daughter into the bathroom. As the men came up the | :03:52. | :04:01. | |
stairs in pursuit. They pushed the door open, grabbed hold of her, | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
punched her in the head. He had a knife in his hand. As the attack | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
continued the men demanded money and jewellery. By this time, Stephen and | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
his friend were rushing back to the house. What would normally be an | :04:16. | :04:25. | |
eight minute journey, we banished are doing three, four minutes. When | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
he got home, one of the intruders was lurking in the driveway. A man | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
ran out of the house with a axe and ran towards me and he went to throw | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
it and then he feigned to throw it again and swung it at me. And then | :04:44. | :04:52. | |
ran off into the other direction. In his desperation to find Kellianne | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
and Olivia, Stephen rushed into the house. I opened the door and | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
screamed for Kellianne and Olivia and there was no answer. I am | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
walking up the stairs. I feared the worst. I thought I would find them | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
dead. That feeling will live with me a very long time. Eventually, | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
Stephen found Kellianne and Olivia at a neighbour's house, hiding under | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
the table. Olivia was hysterical, crying, shaking from head to toe, | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
and so was Kellianne. Thankfully, none of the family was seriously | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
injured, but they have -- there has been devastating consequences. I | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
have been left with an overwhelming sense of I should have been there. | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
To be there and help them in their time of need. But that is something | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
I have got to live with. Kellianne and Olivia were diagnosed with | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
post-traumatic stress disorder. Olivia has gone from a | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
happy-go-lucky, outgoing child, to quite introverted at times, pretty | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
much a nervous wreck. She is terrified to be on her own. She has | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
hiding places in the house. Just a mention of the incident, she breaks | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
down crying. I am nervous night and day in case they come back or | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
someone else comes. I am 100% certain there are people out there | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
who know who is responsible. The people who destroyed a child's life, | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
which we are struggling to rebuild. With me now is Detective Inspector | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Jason Pye from Merseyside Police. The level of violence used during | :06:43. | :06:55. | |
this burglary was seriously distressing. It was distressing to | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
the family. Weapons were used, a child was assaulted, so we are keen | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
to speak to anybody who can give us information in relation to the | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
offence. We hope people who do not normally come forward with | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
information, after seeing the extent of this burglary, they will. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Definitely, we have an innocent woman and child in their home. These | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
two people have attacked them with weapons. We would ask anybody to | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
search their conscience and talk to us and help us identify those | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
responsible. The CCTV highlights the level of violence. The CCTV is | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
captured from the front of the home and you see Stephen arrive home and | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
he is confronted by an offender, brandishing a axe towards him. It is | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
horrendous, you can see, and I would ask anyone to look at the images and | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
if you can tell us who the axe man is to give us information. They took | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
items including a wedding ring, engagement ring, a handbag, and we | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
are keen to trace the items. This has affected the family, especially | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
Kellianne and Olivia, who have suffered post-traumatic stress. The | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
child was eight of the time and witness this in her home, but I | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
would want to reassure the public this type of offences thankfully | :08:20. | :08:20. | |
rare. It's vital that these | :08:21. | :08:21. | |
thugs are caught. So if you have any information | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
at all, please get in touch. Now for some more | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
criminals caught on CCTV. It is just before Christmas last | :08:31. | :08:43. | |
year when this bloke enters an off-licence in Bolton, but he does | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
not look like he is here to pick up festive drinks. He heads to the back | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
and browses the shelves, or at least that is what he seems to be doing, | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
but not for long. Instead he turns back in the direction of the counter | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
and pulls out what appears to be a firearm. He heads over and threatens | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
the shop assistant with the gun and demands cash, but the man at the | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
tilt is not having any of it decides to refuse the gunman flat-out. The | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
robber does not seem happy, but the shop assistant is not giving in | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
easily and reaches down, grabbing bottles of water to throw at him. It | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
is too much for the gunman and he legs it. Do you recognise this | :09:27. | :09:36. | |
cowardly crooks? Us now. These two looked like they are joggers, but | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
they are robbers. This one grabs a shop worker and drags her inside. | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
Manhandling her to the floor, the master man has his sights on the | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
safe and makes a run for it when he sees his partner coming up behind | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
him. But they are not alone, another shop assistants saw them storming | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
and sprints to the lockable toilets. The intruder hunts for the safe but | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
now carries a knife he has picked up from the deli counter. The manager | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
comes out to confront the master man, telling him to lead the team | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
member alone. As the robber threatens the manager, he is | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
interrupted by his accomplice, who is panicking, because he realises | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
there are more people here than he thought. They make a run for it | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
empty-handed, leaving the terrified workers behind. Police believe the | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
crooks drove off in this vehicle, which could be a Vauxhall Corsa. If | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
you know who they are, you know what to do. | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
It is early morning and everyone is sound asleep in the house on the | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
right. But these trendy two are wide awake. They have a sniff around but | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
cannot get in. Then something catches their eye in the garden. He | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
spots a bike behind the washing and gives his pal a nudge to get it. | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
Over he goes, narrowly missing the sheets. Maybe they are just not his | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
colour. Having cut the security chain he passes a ?1500 electric | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
bike over the fence to his sidekick. Shame it does not have a working | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
battery your seat, so they have to make the getaway on foot. If you | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
recognise them, give us their names, not their labels. | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
If you recognised anyone, now is the time to get in touch. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |

I am at the floating fire station in Merseyside and I am joined by team | :11:42. | :12:01. | |
leader Dan Daly and also Ronnie Duffy. It is not fires you mainly | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
deal with, what do you do? We provide water rescue cover on the | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
River Mersey, operating in a three-man crew on board a launch. I | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
am on a jet ski, what are the advantages of using jet skis? It is | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
speedier than the main launch we operate and they can operate in | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
tight spaces. It has good manoeuvrability. For you, it is | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
important you train well, because they are quite fast. They are, and | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
we do go on training courses to operate on jet skis. We are swift | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
water technicians. And Helms man. We are going to see a rescue operation | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
in action. Ronnie, let's do it. They have identified the casualty in | :12:51. | :13:12. | |
the water. Turn around, head to him. The rescue swimmer will locate the | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
casualty. He will direct him to the rear side of the vessel. How do the | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
jet skis and boat work together to rescue a casualty? These can get | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
into tighter spaces than the boat. They are balanced vehicles. You can | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
work in smaller drafts and they can get into tighter spaces. I concede | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
they have put a rod in the water to rescue. In a typical rescue, are you | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
overseeing to check everything is OK? We are here to assist. Talk me | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
through what is happening. They will bring him around to the vessel, the | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
deck is lowered, so it is easier to get the casualty onto the boat. | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
Being on the river today, it is pretty choppy. Doing this quickly, | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
when it is going up and down, I do not know how you do it, but you also | :14:19. | :14:27. | |
have to be quick. The fast response vessels, if you need to send a | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
rescue swimmer in, there is a rescue swimmer located on the boat. I am | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
glad to see the casualties safely on-board. We will head back to the | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
station. Hold on tight! Every summer, the Isle of Man sees | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
thousands of visitors It's one of the most exciting | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
road races in the world. But it's also one of the most | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
dangerous and a really challenging Being a lover of motorbikes, | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
I couldn't resist the opportunity to | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
experience it for myself. The Isle of Man. A tranquil haven in | :14:57. | :15:11. | |
the Irish Sea. But it is also the only place in Europe outside Germany | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
where there are public roads without speed limits. And for one fortnight | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
every summer, the place comes to life as thousands of motorbike | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
fanatics arrives at the annual Isle of Man tourist Trophy, the world | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
famous TT races. The island has hosted the TT for | :15:29. | :15:39. | |
more than 100 years. As a biker myself getting to visit this place | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
is a dream come true. Behind me there is the famous mountain area of | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
the drug. That is where the roads are not restricted. There is no | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
upper speed limit whatsoever. There is nothing I love more than getting | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
out of a motorbike, so, let's see what she can do. -- on a motorbike. | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
It is a public road for the rest of the year, which means ordinary | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
riders like me can test their skills on a legendary surface. That ride | :16:10. | :16:22. | |
was amazing. This is such a fantastic place to be on two wheels, | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
but I can really see with so many twists and turns in the road how | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
even experienced riders could quite easily get caught out. The race is | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
widely considered to be the most dangerous on the planet. Over the | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
past decade 32 riders have lost their lives on the course, including | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
three this year alone. As well as a keen biker I'm also an ex-copper, so | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
I wanted to find out how a police force of just 210 police officers | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
manages such a high event. Gavin is head of operations during TT Races. | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
You have a lot of people coming onto the island, how many could you | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
expect? You could be looking at up to 40,000 for the racing period. | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
There are lots of motorbikes on the road at this time. People are out | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
going about their own business, but we have an influx of riders who want | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
to go out and have a great time but some might be tempted to take it too | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
far. How fast do people actually go on that stretch of road? Race speeds | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
are coming up to 200 mph. There is no speed limit. Members of the | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
public can go faster than 100 mph on occasions. It is bendy, why indeed, | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
with drops, so if you don't know what you are doing there could be | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
serious consequences. -- it is a bending, winding road with drops. It | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
twists and turns its way around the island. While there is no upper | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
speed limit on some of the island's roads, careless and dangerous | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
driving rules still apply. Stephen Lapsley as head of the Road policing | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
team and a key member of the TT operation. People think that they | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
need to go as fast as they possibly can. It isn't that. There is just no | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
upper speed limit. We do police with tolerance but if somebody steps over | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
the mark we deal with them harshly. On an island were motorsport is | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
cherished and the appeal of riding on roads without limits draws | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
thousands of visitors every year, officers have had to adapt their | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
tactics. We have to take a different approach to road safety. We couldn't | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
just rely on enforcement. That would fail. We could hand out tickets like | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
confetti but it wouldn't work. We find the best way to get the message | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
across is talking to people, getting them to think about their riding and | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
driving. But there is more to the TT van riding. Many people turn up. | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
Come nightfall it is up to Gareth and Kirsty to keep an eye out for | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
potential trouble on the streets. There is a lot of people out. | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
They've been out all day. Having a good time. Had a few beers. It | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
changes the dynamic of what happened in the evening. And it isn't long | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
before officers spotted problem. A scuffle has broken out between two | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
youths and they are forced to intervene. Calm down! Get down! Calm | :19:28. | :19:42. | |
down, all right? He has been aggressive to another lad who came | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
up to him. So he's been arrested on suspicion of a fairly low-level | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
public order offence. Nobody has been injured. As long as he is calm | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
now we will take him away from the area and arrest him. | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
The TT races have come to an end for another year, and while some argue | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
that the event puts lives at risk I've had an insight into how a small | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
police force pulls off a truly staggering police operation. | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
Nearly 40 years on, the tragic case of two schoolboy friends | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
If I'd have kept him in, perhaps the kids would've been alive today. | :20:28. | :20:37. | |
But I let him out because I was sorry for him and I wanted him | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
And still on the loose, can you help track down convicted | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
murderer Shaun Walmsley, who escaped from prison guards | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
whilst on a hospital visit in February? | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
But first, there's been a worrying increase in the number | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
of reports of neglect and ill-treatment of animals. | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
Last year, the RSPCA investigated almost 150,000 | :21:00. | :21:00. | |
I'm joined now by Superintendent Martyn Hubbard, who's | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
from the charity and by Victor the Staffie. | :21:04. | :21:16. | |
You believe that social media is adding to the number of incidents | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
that are reported to you? We don't think the numbers of incidents have | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
gone up, but there is a tendency for people to fill what they do and | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
upload to social media site and people are reporting that back to | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
us. We have an example of one. This image was on Instagram. What is | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
happening here? We have a picture of some Badger baiters who have dug | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
into a set, got the batter, then set the dogs onto the badger. They've | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
uploaded the film and photographs onto Instagram. You can hear the | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
comments on laughter from the perpetrators and you can hear the | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
badger screaming in pain. They were prosecuted. They were. The footage | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
was investigated. They were all given prison sentences and banned | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
from keeping animals. Victor looks happy and healthy but unfortunately | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
this is what he is now and not what he was before. We will show an image | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
of when he came to your attention. I must warn you, this is a shocking | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
picture which some may find upsetting. What is his story? We | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
were called to a house. He had been given cocaine and had his ears cut | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
off with just a pair of scissors. Unbelievable. They were on the floor | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
when he went. That's right. The scissors and ears were found on the | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
floor. Please tell me they got prosecuted. They did. The person who | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
did this to Victor was given a prison sentence and a ban and a | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
probation order. The law at the moment, it goes to a maximum of six | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
months. Six months maximum imprisonment. In England. We would | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
like to see that increased. In Northern Ireland it is up to five | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
years. I think we all would agree with that. Neglect is also something | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
you take seriously. A very disturbing image that some may find | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
upsetting. Tell me about this dog. When people take animals on their | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
take on the responsibility to feed the animal. This dog has clearly | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
been staffed. That is probably a more common incident that we come | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
across than deliberate cruelty. But it is terrible for the animals. And | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
it is something you take seriously. You are open to all avenues, whether | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
it is education of people, advice, but ultimately you will prosecute if | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
you need to. That is the last resort. We would rather give advice | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
and head off the treatment, rather than catching them doing it. Lovely | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
to see you, Victor, so happy and healthy now. The RSPCA have a | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
cruelty line. That number for the RSPCA cruelty | :23:56. | :23:56. | |
line is 0300 1234 999. The call will cost the same as any | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
call to a UK landline number Next, more than four months | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
after he went on the run, Merseyside Police are still on the hunt | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
for a dangerous escaped prisoner. Shaun Walmsley was serving | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
a minimum 30-year sentence for murder when he fled prison | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
custody in February. Detective Sergeant Holly Chance | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
from Merseyside Police Talk us through the escape. On | :24:20. | :24:34. | |
February 21 he attended Aintree Hospital for examination after | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
complaining of symptoms in relation to a serious illness. Whilst police | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
guard back to the vehicle two males armed with a knife and a gun forced | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
his release. They made a getaway in a distinctive gold Volvo. It sounds | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
like it was preplanned and he had help. We think it was thoroughly | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
well-planned. He had help from a lot of people. He lost a lot of weight | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
in order to convince police officers that he -- prison officers that he | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
was unwell and needed to attend hospital. Due to his change in | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
appearance this has helped him evade his capture. What progress have you | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
made? We have made a number of arrests. Of people who we believe | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
assisted in the plot of the escape. Only last week a fellow gang member | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
was arrested in Spain and a large quantity of cash was recovered. | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
We've also recovered ?125,000 from suspects which we believe is linked | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
to his criminal activity. Shaun is still at large. What do you want | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
from people? Information on his whereabouts, or his movements since | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
February. This image shows him prior to his weight loss. And the CCTV | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
stills from the hospital gives you an idea of what he looked like prior | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
to the escape. However, he is a highly dangerous and violent | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
individual. I urge members of the public not approaching. Should they | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
cite this mail they should contact the police. And there is a reward? | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
There is, for any person who has information on him and leads to us | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
capturing him. -- should they sight this male they should contact the | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
police. Thanks very much. This guy is very dangerous | :26:20. | :26:20. | |
and needs to be caught. If you can help bring him back | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
to justice get in touch. And remember, you can also speak | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
to Crimestoppers anonymously. Now, most of us wouldn't think | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
of handing over our bank details But after an elaborate | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
and cruel hoax that took place over a few days, | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
that's exactly what our next couple Alan and Joyce Phillips did | :26:40. | :26:41. | |
when they fell victim to what's I'm also joined by Jacqui Mackay | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
of Thames Valley Police. Good morning to you all. From the | :26:45. | :26:58. | |
investigation point of view can you tell us what happened. Mr and Mrs | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
Phillips received a number of phone calls from someone purporting to be | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
from their bank, asking them if they had received their replacement bank | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
cards. They never requested any. Several phone calls later | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
arrangements were then made for a career to attend their home address | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
and bank cards were exchanged. -- then made for a courier ten. Over | :27:25. | :27:33. | |
the next few days they spent nearly ?57,000 worth of their savings. When | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
did you actually know that this was not your bank, that it was a scam? | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
We needed some money out on the Monday. The scan happened on the | :27:45. | :27:52. | |
Saturday. I went to Lloyds bank and presented the new cards. This is | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
what the so-called courier gave you? Yes. I said I needed some money out. | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
The girl looked at the card, because they were a different colour, and | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
she said, hang on, I'll have to check this. She came back and said, | :28:07. | :28:13. | |
Mr Phillips, you have been scammed. Words you will never forget, I'm | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
sure. And you were out shopping at the time, Joyce, what was it like | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
for you when you found out all of your life savings were now in the | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
hands of complete strangers? I just could not believe it at first. It | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
takes a lot for it to sink in. The amount. Shellshocked. I was. Clearly | :28:32. | :28:39. | |
we need to catch who is responsible. What do we know about the people? We | :28:40. | :28:48. | |
have various CCTV clips. Let's take a look. These are people who are of | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
interest to you. Yes, the female with the sunglasses on her head has | :28:54. | :28:59. | |
been identified as the courier who collected the bank cards. She has | :29:00. | :29:04. | |
been seen with the mail in the cap. Spending a large amount of cash. | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
Yes, in Jessop and other locations in London. They are on camera. We | :29:10. | :29:16. | |
have another clip of some individuals you want to chase. The | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
next day these three males were seen in Costco in Hayes and Sunbury. They | :29:21. | :29:31. | |
spent ?15,000. They were using a car. You have the details of the | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
car. You are appealing to anybody who knows this. The males were seen | :29:35. | :29:42. | |
leaving Costco in Hayes in this vehicle. I would like any | :29:43. | :29:52. | |
information regarding that vehicle. I'm so sorry this happened to you. | :29:53. | :29:57. | |
It is worth saying, actually, that banks have told us they would never | :29:58. | :30:00. | |
ask for your PIN number over the phone. That's good advice if anybody | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
has a similar scam. But we need to find out who these people are. If | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
you can help today please get in touch. | :30:09. | :30:10. | |
We're really hoping you can help us with our next, | :30:11. | :30:12. | |
The tragic murder of two schoolboys nearly four decades ago. | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
Can you help their families finally get the justice | :30:18. | :30:19. | |
On Saturday, August 16, 1980, two school friends went out to play. | :30:20. | :30:46. | |
They never came back. John Greenwood and Gary Miller were 11 years old in | :30:47. | :30:52. | |
the summer of 1980 and living in the Whiston area of Liverpool. He was | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
just an ordinary in 11-year-old boy. He loved to go down to the woods, | :30:57. | :31:03. | |
playing, fishing, playing football. A bit quiet, really, a bit of a shy | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
boy. Little things they did together. They would go out and get | :31:09. | :31:14. | |
mother's dei daffodils. They would collect bottles to get muddy | :31:15. | :31:21. | |
together. They were just normal 11-year-old children. They did | :31:22. | :31:29. | |
nobody any harm. It was just after the football results had been on the | :31:30. | :31:35. | |
television and he put his arms up saying yes, Liverpool, 3-1. Then he | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
said can I go out? I will go and knock for Gary. On that day Gary had | :31:41. | :31:45. | |
been naughty and his dad said he had to stay in and when John calls and | :31:46. | :31:52. | |
said he cannot go out. But I relented, to my... If I had kept him | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
in, perhaps the kids would have been alive today, but I let him out | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
because I was sorry for him and I wanted him to go out and play. The | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
next minute, Gary Knox and I heard John said, she has let you out, has | :32:06. | :32:12. | |
she? He said I'm going out, ma'am. I said goodbye. They went out. There | :32:13. | :32:18. | |
were several sightings of the boys after they had left Raleigh Avenue | :32:19. | :32:25. | |
that afternoon. They moved into Whiston village and walked across | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
the car park at what was then the horseshoe public house and crossed | :32:30. | :32:35. | |
over Windy arbour Road and went behind mouldings to Whiston Labour | :32:36. | :32:40. | |
club, where they were playing, kicking tin cans, playing on the | :32:41. | :32:47. | |
fire escape. The boys finally entered an abandoned colliery, now | :32:48. | :32:53. | |
known as part, which was being used as a tip. -- it is now a park. | :32:54. | :33:04. | |
At around 7:30pm, a local dog walker was passing where the boys had been | :33:05. | :33:14. | |
playing. He looked across and from 100 yards he saw a male acting | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
suspiciously. The mail is described as having dark hair, swept back, and | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
was wearing a brown jacket. When the man saw the dog walker, he walked | :33:25. | :33:31. | |
away. Curious, the dog walker went to where he had seen the man. It was | :33:32. | :33:38. | |
here he found the boys lying injured. He ran down this path to | :33:39. | :33:46. | |
local houses where he raised the alarm. In a short time the ambulance | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
was here and it took the boys to hospital. The boys died of their | :33:51. | :34:02. | |
injuries. A murder investigation was launched. The case attracted huge | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
media attention, with police are appealing for anyone with | :34:07. | :34:15. | |
information. But 37 years after, the killer has still not been found. In | :34:16. | :34:22. | |
October last year, police reopened the investigation into their deaths. | :34:23. | :34:29. | |
We understand it must have been an extremely traumatic event for the | :34:30. | :34:31. | |
families and we are trying to provide them with closure. For John | :34:32. | :34:39. | |
and Gary's families, the agony of that day is as fresh as ever. You do | :34:40. | :34:45. | |
not think of murder. You do not think of anybody hurting children. | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
There was not an awful lot of crime around the village at the time. We | :34:50. | :34:57. | |
feel like we let the boys down. They have never had justice, like it had | :34:58. | :35:03. | |
been an accident, that they had just gone out to play and never came | :35:04. | :35:08. | |
back. He deliberately left them to die, and I cannot get that out of my | :35:09. | :35:10. | |
head. Very, very upsetting. Well, joining us now | :35:11. | :35:14. | |
is DCI John Middleton, who is reinvestigating the boys' | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
murder and also Debbie Lewis, Thank you for coming today. John, it | :35:19. | :35:31. | |
has been 37 years, what information are you appealing for today? We are | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
keen to trace two boys assaulted a Whiston health centre about a month | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
before the murder and a young boy who ran up a garden path asking for | :35:41. | :35:46. | |
help in Whiston two weeks before the murder. We would like to speak to | :35:47. | :35:50. | |
anybody who went to school with John and Gary, or where in the first | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
Whiston Scout Troop with them and we would like to speak to a lad by the | :35:56. | :36:04. | |
name of Duffy, who was with the boys before they were murdered. He was | :36:05. | :36:09. | |
writing a yellow chopper bike and we would like to speak to him. We heard | :36:10. | :36:15. | |
the mothers in the film. Tell me the impact it has had on both families. | :36:16. | :36:21. | |
It has been a huge impact. I have grown up seeing my parents suffer | :36:22. | :36:27. | |
with this. My mum, so terrified that she could lose one of us, and my | :36:28. | :36:32. | |
dad, so frustrated and angry that whoever did this has got away with | :36:33. | :36:38. | |
it thus far. You have set up a Facebook group to help get justice, | :36:39. | :36:44. | |
what has the response been like? Fantastic. I always felt there were | :36:45. | :36:48. | |
people out there with information and they just needed to be asked. | :36:49. | :36:56. | |
And when a reporter got in touch with us in August we decided to go | :36:57. | :36:59. | |
for a campaign and got a few thousand members within a few weeks. | :37:00. | :37:05. | |
Now we have over 7000 and they have been supportive. If there are people | :37:06. | :37:09. | |
watching who have information, what would be your message? I would say | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
please, please come forward, whatever has been on your mind maybe | :37:15. | :37:19. | |
all these years, a B you have heard something, come forward and help, | :37:20. | :37:25. | |
because we need your help and we need to get peace for the families, | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
to get the truth and some closure. Thank you very much. We appreciate | :37:31. | :37:31. | |
you coming on the show today. Now it's time for a look | :37:32. | :37:34. | |
at today's Wanted Faces. This is Steven Kostas | :37:35. | :37:37. | |
Kimpriktzis - he also calls He was jailed for two years | :37:38. | :37:39. | |
for actual bodily harm But he hasn't stuck to the condition | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
of his release and is now wanted The 40-year-old has links | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
to Liverpool, Lancashire His upper teeth are missing | :37:49. | :37:50. | |
and he has a deformed right finger. Detectives wish to speak to him | :37:51. | :37:58. | |
about a conspiracy to steal He has an Indian accent and links | :37:59. | :38:03. | |
to Hounslow in west London. Detectives would like to question | :38:04. | :38:09. | |
him about burglaries at homes, where the owners' car | :38:10. | :38:18. | |
keys were stolen and Nee is 30 and has links | :38:19. | :38:20. | |
to the St Helens and Dovecot Officers from Thames Valley Police | :38:21. | :38:25. | |
would like to question him about a burglary | :38:26. | :38:30. | |
at a house in Banbury. The 33-year-old has a birth mark | :38:31. | :38:35. | |
on the left side of his neck and links to Basingstoke, | :38:36. | :38:38. | |
Yeovil, Milton Keynes, If you know where any of these faces | :38:39. | :38:39. | |
are, make sure you get in touch Earlier in the programme, | :38:40. | :38:48. | |
I took part in a water-rescue training exercise | :38:49. | :38:53. | |
with Merseyside's But last year, a group of heroic | :38:54. | :38:54. | |
police officers from the nearly But last year, a group of heroic | :38:55. | :39:00. | |
police officers from the Smithdown Road area of Liverpool | :39:01. | :39:03. | |
pulled off the real thing. One of the officers involved was | :39:04. | :39:10. | |
Steve McAllister. I believe you have a phobia of water, so how did that | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
work out? Not great, it is not a phobia of water, to be honest, if on | :39:16. | :39:20. | |
holiday I like the water but I did not fancy murky water. This was last | :39:21. | :39:26. | |
November. You and a group of officers waded into freezing water | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
to try to rescue a man trapped in his car. I was on patrol and was | :39:31. | :39:38. | |
made aware of the stolen vehicle in the area. I located the vehicle. | :39:39. | :39:43. | |
Before we had a chance to stop it safely it took off at speed which | :39:44. | :39:48. | |
resulted in a pursuit, quite high speed at times, or 140 miles at | :39:49. | :39:54. | |
times on the motorway. We managed to sting the vehicle and deflate the | :39:55. | :39:58. | |
tyres, but it had little effect with a certain type of tyre where you can | :39:59. | :40:04. | |
keep going. For what ever reason, he drove into a big body of open water. | :40:05. | :40:13. | |
You can see the car in the dam. Talk us through what happened. Where the | :40:14. | :40:20. | |
vehicle is situated, it is quite a distance from the edge. It is pitch | :40:21. | :40:26. | |
black, the camera does not show how dark it is. You can hear the | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
gentleman screaming and shouting for help. He has panicked and is | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
struggling to get out. Did you know how dangerous this was? Knowing the | :40:36. | :40:41. | |
location, I knew the dam. It is deep in parts and I knew he was in | :40:42. | :40:46. | |
trouble and given his demeanour, how he was screaming, I knew he was | :40:47. | :40:51. | |
struggling to get out. You can see from the footage, his legs are | :40:52. | :40:55. | |
dangling at one point and then he goes back into the car. He was | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
trying to get out. He was panicked, in trouble in the vehicle in that | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
position. Being a sports car the window is small and he is quite a | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
large build and struggle to get out. How did you get him out? The vehicle | :41:10. | :41:15. | |
went completely submerged and it was clear he would not get himself out. | :41:16. | :41:19. | |
Myself and colleagues got into the water and located the vehicle by the | :41:20. | :41:25. | |
rear lights and managed to open the boot and drag him through the centre | :41:26. | :41:29. | |
of the vehicle. What was going through your head, were you in | :41:30. | :41:35. | |
autopilot? Definitely, if I was not on autopilot I do not think I would | :41:36. | :41:39. | |
have got in. Your training kicks in. You just need to get in and get him | :41:40. | :41:44. | |
safe. It is after the event the emotions come. Looking back, whether | :41:45. | :41:50. | |
I would get in the area again, I don't think I would. You are spurred | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
on by your colleagues. I was one five, I was not on my own doing it. | :41:56. | :42:00. | |
It was incredibly brave and hopefully the man has learned his | :42:01. | :42:02. | |
lesson. Fantastic work. Time now for a look at what's been | :42:03. | :42:08. | |
coming in on the calls. We asked the help yesterday after a | :42:09. | :42:16. | |
concrete slab was thrown through the window of a tram injuring the | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
driver. We are following up -- detectives said they are following | :42:23. | :42:27. | |
up names as a matter of urgency. And also yesterday cash robbery in | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
Newton Heath in Manchester, they are keen to hear from anyone who may | :42:32. | :42:34. | |
recognise this man and motorcycle passenger. | :42:35. | :42:35. | |
We're back on Monday for the start of our final week. | :42:36. | :42:38. | |
Sadly, Michelle, today was you last day with us. | :42:39. | :42:41. | |
Yes, Tina Daheley takes over next week, starting in Birmingham. | :42:42. | :42:44. | |
She'll be with West Midlands Police's cannabis disposal team. | :42:45. | :42:49. | |
They've got the dangerous job of clearing up illegal cannabis | :42:50. | :42:52. | |
farms and making sure none of the equipment can be reused. | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
But for me, yes that's the end of my Roadshow | :42:57. | :42:58. | |
It has been amazing and seeing the teams in action has been inspiring. | :42:59. | :43:12. | |
Good luck next week, I will be watching. Thanks. We will miss you. | :43:13. | :43:14. | |
