:00:27. > :00:36.When we saw the thieves, on CCTV, it made me feel sick to the stomach,

:01:58. > :01:59.Yes Rav, canine company - and you may be wondering why
:02:00. > :02:09.Well - this is Olaf, and later I'll be finding out just what it's
:02:10. > :02:14.I'm not surprised, good luck with that!
:02:15. > :02:16.First today though - help us catch the arsonists
:02:17. > :02:24.who were ready to put lives at risk not once, but twice!
:02:25. > :02:31.On the banks of the River Severn, the city of Worcester is renowned
:02:32. > :02:39.for its magnificent cathedral and historic buildings. It's also home
:02:40. > :02:44.to a family run takeaway business called Caspian Pizza. We've been
:02:45. > :02:50.trading in Worcester since the early 80s, as a family. It's a lovely
:02:51. > :02:55.place to be is. We are well known within the community. We've seen
:02:56. > :03:01.generations grow up from being toddlers attending, to pick up their
:03:02. > :03:07.pizza with mum and dad, to being young adults. But in December last
:03:08. > :03:11.year, the pizza shop became the target of some buried and wanted
:03:12. > :03:16.attention. It was a normal Thursday night. We were very busy as we
:03:17. > :03:21.always are in Worcester. The festive period was upon us, we were getting
:03:22. > :03:24.ready, we were getting into the festive spirit, getting our orders
:03:25. > :03:30.in and getting ready for the big rush. At the end of the night, the
:03:31. > :03:37.staff closed up and went home. But, in the early hours of the morning,
:03:38. > :03:41.two men approached the shop. One tried to force the door with a
:03:42. > :03:46.crowbar. Before smashing his way through the glass. His accomplice
:03:47. > :03:56.threw petrol across the floor and set it alight. Huge flames engulfed
:03:57. > :04:01.the front of the store, almost setting fire to the men themselves.
:04:02. > :04:08.They made their escape, leaving the shop ablaze. In the flat upstairs,
:04:09. > :04:13.two sleeping tenants were unaware of the danger they were in.
:04:14. > :04:18.Fortunately, passers-by raised the alarm and the fire was put out. The
:04:19. > :04:23.incident could have been very, very serious. There were lives at risk,
:04:24. > :04:27.there were people living there. Potentially the fire could have
:04:28. > :04:30.escalated to the building upstairs and potentially, God forbid, the
:04:31. > :04:35.people upstairs would have been in some bother. The shop could always
:04:36. > :04:40.be replaced, we could always get more equipment, but human lives we
:04:41. > :04:45.could never replace. With no clear motive for the attack, the pizza
:04:46. > :04:52.shop owners carried on trading, but stepped up security. Initially it
:04:53. > :04:55.was, what do we do now? How do we safeguard ourselves? Lights were
:04:56. > :05:04.left on and on the premises. We did whatever we could to try and make it
:05:05. > :05:09.clear that somebody was on the premises. Unbelievably, the takeaway
:05:10. > :05:14.boss targeted again three weeks later, shortly after Christmas. --
:05:15. > :05:21.the takeaway was targeted again. This black Audi Estate pulled up on
:05:22. > :05:26.the opposite side of the street. Two men carrying a hammer and a canister
:05:27. > :05:31.of petrol got out. But this time, the owners were prepared. One of the
:05:32. > :05:35.managers was on guard duty in the empty shop next door. When the
:05:36. > :05:38.second attack happened, they tried to smash their way through the
:05:39. > :05:45.window of the door. They didn't manage to do that so they kicked the
:05:46. > :05:50.panel through. At the sound of smashing glass, the manager woke up
:05:51. > :05:55.and ran into the pizza shop. The men were pouring petrol over the
:05:56. > :05:59.counter. But before they could set it alight, they were driven out of
:06:00. > :06:11.the shop with a snooker cue. They made their getaway in the black
:06:12. > :06:15.Audi. It was a complete mixture of emotions. There was the relief
:06:16. > :06:21.there, the fact the shop was safe to an extent. There was also anger,
:06:22. > :06:27.there was discussed at the people that were trying to do something
:06:28. > :06:32.like this. Local detectives are urging anyone with information to
:06:33. > :06:35.come forward. We have no idea what the motive for these attacks were
:06:36. > :06:38.but they were clearly targeted attacks. This could be a lot more
:06:39. > :06:43.serious than it was. There were people asleep on the premises above
:06:44. > :06:48.the pizza place, this could easily lead be a murder enquiry. It's only
:06:49. > :06:58.by good fortune that we are dealing with arson. The two attacks have had
:06:59. > :07:02.a serious impact on Wassim. It had the effect of looking over my
:07:03. > :07:05.shoulder and expecting anything. Anything could happen.
:07:06. > :07:10.Detective Constable Dave Foley is with me now.
:07:11. > :07:19.Talk us through the first attack. The first attack happened on the 9th
:07:20. > :07:25.of December around 4:30am. Two young men aged late teens, early 20s broke
:07:26. > :07:29.down the door, smashed through the glass of Caspian Pizza. They spread
:07:30. > :07:35.petrol over the floor and then set fire to it and ran off up London
:07:36. > :07:39.Road. We believe they got into a black Audi Estate which drove off in
:07:40. > :07:44.the direction of the M5. CCTV shows this could have been really serious.
:07:45. > :07:47.Yes, there were people asleep upstairs. They probably didn't
:07:48. > :07:52.realise that at the time of the attack but this could so easily have
:07:53. > :08:01.been a murder investigation. Talk us through the second attack. The CCTV
:08:02. > :08:04.is really clear. The CCTV is a lot better and that happened at 2:30am
:08:05. > :08:09.on the 28th of December. We believe it's the same suspects. We can't be
:08:10. > :08:14.100% certain but we believe it's the same suspects. They arrived in a
:08:15. > :08:19.black Audi Estate, they did a U-turn and parked opposite Caspian Pizza.
:08:20. > :08:23.Two young men, we believe young Asian males, they smashed the glass
:08:24. > :08:28.in the front door and spread petrol all over the counter from a green
:08:29. > :08:32.petrol can. They were about to set it on fire but because of the first
:08:33. > :08:37.arson attack, one of the owners was asleep next door and he came through
:08:38. > :08:40.and confronted them. There was a bit of a scuffle, no one was injured and
:08:41. > :08:44.they ran off without setting it on fire. Have they done so they could
:08:45. > :08:50.easily have involved themselves in flames. You believe it is quite
:08:51. > :08:53.likely the same people were involved in both attacks, particularly since
:08:54. > :08:58.the same car seems to have been used both times? That's correct. The
:08:59. > :09:04.description of the people on the second attack, one guy is a larger
:09:05. > :09:09.lad, wearing dark clothing and a balaclava. The other lads wearing a
:09:10. > :09:11.teal jacket, Adidas shoes and distinctive black and white trainers
:09:12. > :09:14.with a large white soul. If you know who they are,
:09:15. > :09:19.we really need to hear from you. Now more incidents caught on camera
:09:20. > :09:23.in today's CCTV round-up. And just so you know -
:09:24. > :09:34.the first one is pretty nasty. It looks sunny outside but this guy
:09:35. > :09:38.is all wrapped up. I wonder why? Threatening the shopkeeper with a
:09:39. > :09:45.knife, he forces his way behind the counter. He helps himself to cash,
:09:46. > :09:53.and then turns his attention to the cigarette cabinet. Happy with his
:09:54. > :09:58.loot, he tries to make his getaway, but the shopkeeper has other ideas.
:09:59. > :10:03.Attempting to grab the knife, they get locked in a struggle. The masked
:10:04. > :10:09.man tries to break free by flinging her around. Fortunately the
:10:10. > :10:16.shopkeeper wasn't hurt, but the crook still got away with around
:10:17. > :10:28.?120 in cash. Police need your help to catch this masked man. The day
:10:29. > :10:32.has just begun at this post office in south London. Keep your eyes on
:10:33. > :10:38.this man in the blue cap. It doesn't look like he's up to much, just
:10:39. > :10:46.waiting around. But actually, he's biding his time. When he gets a
:10:47. > :10:51.chance, he sneaks behind the unmanned counter and stealthily
:10:52. > :10:55.removes a coin tray. He's pretty nonchalant about it and stands in
:10:56. > :11:00.the entrance having a look around before deciding he better go. What
:11:01. > :11:05.he is not expecting is one of the female members of staff trying to
:11:06. > :11:10.stop him from leaving. Down goes the tray with its contents pouring onto
:11:11. > :11:14.the pavement. He is still keen on his loot and resorts to picking up
:11:15. > :11:19.the coins off the floor. Police estimate he got away with a mere
:11:20. > :11:23.?10. If you recognise him, give us his name.
:11:24. > :11:25.If you know the names of anyone you've just seen,
:11:26. > :11:34.Text CW, space and then your message.
:11:35. > :11:37.Texts will be charged at your standard message rate.
:11:38. > :11:49.Now, this unit spends a lot of time teaching dogs to search for things -
:11:50. > :11:57.Pete here has volunteered to run and hide, while throwing away some
:11:58. > :12:03.We'll give her a few minutes head-start, as we take a look now
:12:04. > :12:13.at some of the many ways they train the dogs here.
:12:14. > :12:18.The West Midlands Police dog training Centre is one of the
:12:19. > :12:24.largest and most successful units in the UK. It has 35 breeding dogs
:12:25. > :12:33.which produce up to 100 puppies each year. Around 80% of them will become
:12:34. > :12:38.operational police dogs. The most promising springer spaniel pups are
:12:39. > :12:41.selected for search dog training. We are looking at them from a very
:12:42. > :12:46.early age. We want to see they've got the desire to go out and chase
:12:47. > :12:49.their ball. Dogs that are very toy driven our helpful towards our
:12:50. > :12:53.training. We will take them through the basics of how to find something,
:12:54. > :12:57.how to indicate and then put the package together to get the search
:12:58. > :13:00.dog at the end of the course. The dogs are put through an intensive
:13:01. > :13:07.two-month training programme. Once the dogs are fully trained, we have
:13:08. > :13:11.a range of dogs who can search for firearms, illegal substances, cash
:13:12. > :13:18.and explosive substances. Paul King has been a dog handler for 14 years.
:13:19. > :13:24.His new canine partner is cocker spaniel Dash. Quite daunting after
:13:25. > :13:29.my first clue how I had 48 and a half years. I my dogs more than I
:13:30. > :13:35.see my family. They live at home with us as well. To have that
:13:36. > :13:41.working relationship with the dog is very, very strong. Today, Dash will
:13:42. > :13:45.be tested on his sniffing skills. He'll be searching for traces of
:13:46. > :13:49.drugs. For the purpose of the search I'm going to put a cloth
:13:50. > :13:54.contaminated with an illegal substance. This is what we will use
:13:55. > :13:58.for the indication training. Paul, if you take your dog to the wall I
:13:59. > :14:01.want you to work the dog along the wall until we get an indication from
:14:02. > :14:16.him. Dash, sit, wait. Picking up the scent, Dash picks up
:14:17. > :14:24.the sample and claims his reward. A tennis ball and a patter from Paul.
:14:25. > :14:30.Time for a tougher test. Now I'm going to hide in a live environment
:14:31. > :14:35.and move on and hopefully develop the dog from indicating on the wall
:14:36. > :14:39.from indicating in the open. Paul, I want you to search this small area,
:14:40. > :14:43.we will move on from indicating against the wall to indicating on a
:14:44. > :14:53.height that is hidden out there. The Hyder is a packet of drugs concealed
:14:54. > :14:56.in the undergrowth. -- the hide is. Dash and Paul work the area
:14:57. > :15:03.together, and fares's knows does not let him down. We have allowed the
:15:04. > :15:08.dog to work a little bit more freely with tasking from the handler, to
:15:09. > :15:14.locate the substance in a live environment and to indicate from it.
:15:15. > :15:18.Is well a specialist search dogs, the centre breeds and trains
:15:19. > :15:23.general-purpose police dogs. -- as well as a specialist search dogs.
:15:24. > :15:26.German Shepherd Olaf recently completed his first day of training
:15:27. > :15:32.and was paired up with handler Keith Bennett. It is exciting to take on a
:15:33. > :15:38.new dog. I have just retired a dog who I worked with for eight years,
:15:39. > :15:41.Olaf is 14 months old, I picked up ten weeks ago knowing very little
:15:42. > :15:47.about him, him knowing very little about me, we have had to create the
:15:48. > :15:51.bond. Today Olaf is taking another step in his training. He will be
:15:52. > :15:57.tested on a realistic scenario which he could face in the line of duty. I
:15:58. > :16:01.will put my colleague Dave in protective clothing and he will lay
:16:02. > :16:06.what we call a truck, human scent from the body and the ground
:16:07. > :16:12.disturbance, we want the dog to follow the track to its conclusion
:16:13. > :16:17.to find Dave. Kitted up with protective padding, Dave heads off
:16:18. > :16:21.to hide from Olaf. I would like you to follow that tracks to its
:16:22. > :16:26.conclusion, once you find the help, the helper has been briefed to run.
:16:27. > :16:31.If you can send the dog and detained the person when he has run off,
:16:32. > :16:39.please. Quickly picking up the scent, Olaf is off. The dog is
:16:40. > :16:44.trained to run and detain the person by biting them. Standstill! Wants
:16:45. > :16:51.the handler joins them they get the dog found the person is arrested and
:16:52. > :16:52.taken into custody. -- when the handler joins them.
:16:53. > :16:55.Pretty scary stuff - and later I'll be finding out myself
:16:56. > :16:58.exactly what it feels like to be bitten by a police dog!
:16:59. > :17:02.Now, a few minutes ago we gave our volunteer Pete a head
:17:03. > :17:07.He's discarded some evidence as he ran away.
:17:08. > :17:09.And now Olaf and his handler Keith Bennett,
:17:10. > :17:12.who you just saw in our film, are going to track her down.
:17:13. > :17:22.Dave Raymond is from the dog unit, talk is through this. He is locating
:17:23. > :17:27.it very quickly in such a small area, it is a bit fishable because
:17:28. > :17:32.it is a large item. It shows you how quickly the dogs can pick up on a
:17:33. > :17:38.scent. It is a large item, so it was visual. How long does the sound Snow
:17:39. > :17:42.asked for? Depending on the individual, the weather conditions
:17:43. > :17:52.and the item discarded, it varies. What type of object? Anything with
:17:53. > :17:56.human scent, a knife, wallet, purse, mobile phone. He needs to find the
:17:57. > :18:00.suspect. He will be hiding. Keith will give a challenge at the door
:18:01. > :18:07.and send in the dock to locate him. When he gets in, the dog should
:18:08. > :18:15.bark. If Pete decides to attack the handler or the dog, the dog will
:18:16. > :18:20.detain the suspect. As you can see, the dog has located
:18:21. > :18:26.in very quickly, he was barking. Pete has decided to attack the dog
:18:27. > :18:29.and the dog is detaining him. He has come off immediately, the controller
:18:30. > :18:34.superb from the dog, back to the bottom of the stairs and really can
:18:35. > :18:41.with Keith. That was really quick, Keith was completely in control and
:18:42. > :18:46.Olaf is completely calm again. I would not advise stroking a police
:18:47. > :18:51.dog, sociability is crucial for us, he has done his job and he has
:18:52. > :18:53.switched off. Later I will be meeting the newest puppies on the
:18:54. > :18:54.block at the dog unit. Right, still to come
:18:55. > :18:58.on today's programme. The historic lanterns which have
:18:59. > :19:01.been on the door of Chancel primary school for 80 years -
:19:02. > :19:03.until thieves nabbed them. We want them back so much,
:19:04. > :19:06.because how would you feel if somebody came to your school,
:19:07. > :19:08.jumped over the fence And the heartless gang
:19:09. > :19:15.posing as workmen to steal I saw a white helmet,
:19:16. > :19:24.I thought he was a workman, But first, in January this year, two
:19:25. > :19:34.friends were pushing their motorbike over a footbridge in Runcorn
:19:35. > :19:36.when they were subjected to a truly horrifying attack
:19:37. > :19:39.which has left one of them, Stephen's mother Doris spoke to us
:19:40. > :19:48.about the moment she received the call to say something
:19:49. > :19:59.terrible had happened. Just to warn you, this is very
:20:00. > :20:05.upsetting. It's about half past seven, quarter to eight when I got
:20:06. > :20:12.the phone call saying they had been attacked, and Stephen had been
:20:13. > :20:20.stabbed. It was so, so hard to see my son going out of my house that
:20:21. > :20:22.night on his motorbike, and to come back and finds him, the same night,
:20:23. > :20:27.in a hospital bed, near enough dead. Well, with me now is
:20:28. > :20:37.Detective Sergeant Steve Lodge Clearly a terrible ordeal for the
:20:38. > :20:44.family, what to be no? It took place at about 7:30pm on Monday the 23rd
:20:45. > :20:49.of January 2017. The two friends were crossing the footbridge that
:20:50. > :20:54.goes over the A533 from Beechwood to Hallwood Park in Runcorn. They stop
:20:55. > :20:58.for a rest as they pushed Stephen's motorbike, the two attackers came
:20:59. > :21:03.from behind with what are described as bats and bars to attack Stephen
:21:04. > :21:07.and his friend. They were both attacked and seriously injured? Yes,
:21:08. > :21:12.his friend has a broken wrist, Stephen was stabbed in the eye with
:21:13. > :21:18.one of the weapons that they used which is called Saint uses -- caused
:21:19. > :21:22.him to lose his right eye and has an injury similar to a stroke which has
:21:23. > :21:24.left him severely injured. We can hear from Stephen about the
:21:25. > :21:50.devastating impact. Just so vicious. What we know about
:21:51. > :21:55.the attackers? They are both white males, both slim build. One is
:21:56. > :22:01.described as being by foot seven, the other around five foot nine.
:22:02. > :22:06.Both wearing dark-coloured North Face jackets with the hoods up and
:22:07. > :22:14.McKay 110 trainers, one is described as having some kind of scab or
:22:15. > :22:19.something around his lip -- Nike 110 trainers. You are appealing for the
:22:20. > :22:25.bike? Somebody will know where this is, it is a black Honda CRV for 50
:22:26. > :22:29.off-road bike, known as a scrambler, with the blue seat. It has not been
:22:30. > :22:34.recovered. Somebody will know about it, where it is, maybe had it
:22:35. > :22:36.offered to them for sale, we are very interested in information. Any
:22:37. > :22:37.information. If you have any information,
:22:38. > :22:42.please do call us now. Or if you prefer you can speak
:22:43. > :22:44.to Crimestoppers anonymously Next, a theft that might not
:22:45. > :22:53.have seemed a big deal to the crooks who did it -
:22:54. > :22:56.but has had a real impact on the children and staff
:22:57. > :23:07.at one primary school. The former mining town of Rugeley in
:23:08. > :23:11.Staffordshire has changed a lot over the years. But the community's
:23:12. > :23:17.primary school has remained almost untouched since it was open. The
:23:18. > :23:22.school was built in 1936 and the whole building has remained the same
:23:23. > :23:26.for all of those 81 years. So it's got a lot of history and we are very
:23:27. > :23:30.proud of that and we like to retain that.
:23:31. > :23:36.The old building has always been very important to the parents, too.
:23:37. > :23:41.This school is the centre of the community, all the parents, we are
:23:42. > :23:47.all friends. We all socialise together and meet together. We are
:23:48. > :23:50.very proud of our school. But in March, Chancel Primary School had
:23:51. > :23:55.some of that precious history stolen. And absolutely normal school
:23:56. > :24:05.day, at the end of the school day the building is locked, the gates
:24:06. > :24:09.locked, the site is secured. Later in the evening of March the
:24:10. > :24:19.7th, two men arrived at the school gates, but they were not looking to
:24:20. > :24:25.do any late-night revision. First they tried their luck opening them.
:24:26. > :24:28.They were locked, but that did not deter the intruders. One of the men
:24:29. > :24:38.began to scale the 6-foot metal gates. What they didn't realise is
:24:39. > :24:46.that they had been caught on CCTV. Once inside the school grounds, the
:24:47. > :24:51.pair headed to the front door. They had their eyes on two art deco
:24:52. > :24:57.lanterns fix there. Armed with a crowbar and drill, the men began
:24:58. > :25:05.trying to pull the historic lanterns from the wall. After struggling for
:25:06. > :25:13.20 minutes, the crooks finally ripped the lights three and made
:25:14. > :25:16.their escape. You quite clearly see how carefully and delicately one of
:25:17. > :25:20.the men places the lanterns onto the floor. That would lead me to believe
:25:21. > :25:24.that the offenders are more than aware of the monetary value that
:25:25. > :25:29.these lanterns hold. If they were to be put on sale, they would sell for
:25:30. > :25:35.thousands of pounds because of the fact that they are antiques, they
:25:36. > :25:41.are original lanterns. When we saw the seeds on CCTV, it's made me feel
:25:42. > :25:47.sick to the stomach. -- when we saw the thieves on CCTV. It was so
:25:48. > :25:58.distressing to watch. 81 years of history just gone like that.
:25:59. > :26:07.The impact has been felt by children and parents alike. It's a very sad
:26:08. > :26:14.thing is that we've lost our lanterns. It's invaded our
:26:15. > :26:18.children's property, it's all the kids' property of every child that
:26:19. > :26:24.has ever been here since they were put up. It's just a shame that some
:26:25. > :26:30.petty thieves want to come and pinch some history. We want them back so
:26:31. > :26:34.much because how would you feel if somebody came to your school, jumped
:26:35. > :26:41.over the fence and got your lanterns?
:26:42. > :26:42.They are just not made any more, they are irreplaceable. That
:26:43. > :27:01.entrance will never be the same now. But you have good CCTV? The school
:27:02. > :27:04.have captured some really good CCTV footage of the offenders, and from
:27:05. > :27:09.that I can describe the males as both white, in their 20s, medium
:27:10. > :27:13.build and wearing dark clothing and beanie hats. A piece of the school's
:27:14. > :27:18.history has been stolen, clearly they knew what they were looking
:27:19. > :27:22.for? Absolutely, they have gone to the location where the lanterns are
:27:23. > :27:29.kept, they have had with them items to remove the lanterns, a hammer and
:27:30. > :27:33.crowbar, wire cutters, you saw them very carefully removing the lanterns
:27:34. > :27:39.and handing them over the fence. These were valuable, rare items, it
:27:40. > :27:43.was not a random theft? Most certainly not. From the CCTV and how
:27:44. > :27:46.they handled the lanterns it is clear they knew what they were
:27:47. > :27:51.worth, which leads us to thinking they would have distributed them to
:27:52. > :27:55.various different challenge will -- channels, via antique dealers or a
:27:56. > :28:00.specific metal dealer, which would lead us to believe somebody knows
:28:01. > :28:04.where they are. And you believe somebody knows whether lanterns are
:28:05. > :28:10.and what happened? Absolutely, so if you recognise the lanterns or the
:28:11. > :28:14.offenders, come forward. Thank you, Jamie. If you can reunite Chancel
:28:15. > :28:17.primary with those lanterns or know who the thieves are, please get in
:28:18. > :28:19.touch, the numbers are on screen. Now it's time for a look at today's
:28:20. > :28:22.Wanted Faces starting Police would like to question him
:28:23. > :28:26.in relation to a case of child cruelty, after a young teenager

:28:35. > :28:36.Liverpool, Stafford in the West Midlands
:28:37. > :28:40.and Newton Abbot in Devon. This is Jeffrey Major,
:28:41. > :28:42.although you may know him Detectives in the Met
:28:43. > :28:46.would like to speak to him in connection to an attempted
:28:47. > :28:49.burglary at a house in west London. Major is 44 and is described
:28:50. > :28:52.as violent, so just dial 999 This is John Delaney,
:28:53. > :29:07.although he also calls himself "bling boy".
:29:08. > :29:09.Detectives would like to speak to him in connection to a burglary
:29:10. > :29:12.at an elderly woman's home, where men claimed to be
:29:13. > :29:14.from the water board investigating a leak,
:29:15. > :29:16.but stole money. Delaney is 21 and has links to Kent,
:29:17. > :29:18.Staffordshire, Manchester, Detectives would like to question
:29:19. > :29:27.him in connection to a burglary at a college in Kensington
:29:28. > :29:30.in central London. Abu is 23 and has links
:29:31. > :29:33.to the Romford area of East London. If you know where any of these faces
:29:34. > :29:36.are make sure you get in touch Now to a sneaky gang that
:29:37. > :29:41.pretend to be workmen so they could trick their way
:29:42. > :29:43.into people's homes. Here's hoping you can help catch
:29:44. > :29:55.them before they do it again. The suburb of Kitts Green in
:29:56. > :30:01.Birmingham has been home to 77-year-old Maureen Griffiths for
:30:02. > :30:05.half a century. But in December last year, Maureen, who has severe
:30:06. > :30:11.arthritis, fell victim to a cynical scam. Her neighbours CCTV footage
:30:12. > :30:18.captured a White builders van driving past. One of its occupants
:30:19. > :30:24.then paid Maureen a visit. I was watching the TV, and I must have
:30:25. > :30:33.fallen asleep. I heard the bell ringing. And then I could hear the
:30:34. > :30:39.window knocking, I thought there must be somebody who knows me. So I
:30:40. > :30:45.went to the door and I saw a white helmet. I thought he was a workman,
:30:46. > :30:52.so I opened the door. I trust workmen. You do, don't you? The man
:30:53. > :30:57.told Maureen he'd come to sort out flooding in her back garden. I said
:30:58. > :31:05.we don't have any flooding. He said, I'm only doing what my gaffer told
:31:06. > :31:09.me. So I said, OK. Persuaded by his claims, Maureen let the man in. But
:31:10. > :31:15.further down the road, his accomplices were waiting to make
:31:16. > :31:19.their move. Maureen locked her front door, but when the man made an
:31:20. > :31:24.excuse to open it again, her suspicions were aroused. I said
:31:25. > :31:29.where are you going now? He must have opened the door. He said I'm
:31:30. > :31:34.letting the cat or the dog out. I said I haven't got a cat or a dog.
:31:35. > :31:39.As the work man led Maureen into the back garden, she began to feel
:31:40. > :31:43.increasingly uneasy. I just didn't like him. I thought there's
:31:44. > :31:50.something not right about him. I couldn't put my finger on it. With
:31:51. > :31:56.Maureen distracted, the man's accomplices let themselves into the
:31:57. > :32:03.house and ransacked the front room. I could hear a noise and voices. I
:32:04. > :32:06.thought, that's not next-door. The three intruders struck lucky and
:32:07. > :32:11.made their escape with a large amount of cash. I rushed in and they
:32:12. > :32:16.must have heard and they disappeared. I didn't know who was
:32:17. > :32:21.in there, all I could see was everything was tipped on the floor.
:32:22. > :32:31.I thought, oh my God. He came in. I said look at the mess! I said, I
:32:32. > :32:36.don't leave a mess like that! In a few minutes the gang had stolen
:32:37. > :32:42.?18,000 of her life savings. As the fake workmen walked away, Maureen
:32:43. > :32:48.realised she'd been the victim of a cruel distraction burglary. We
:32:49. > :32:54.received a phone call from mum's neighbour, said she'd been robbed by
:32:55. > :33:01.four men. I felt sick. Literally sick and scared that she had been
:33:02. > :33:04.hurt. They took mum's life savings. She's got grandchildren and
:33:05. > :33:09.great-grandchildren and I'm sure she'd like to give them a little bit
:33:10. > :33:16.of spending money for things. But now she's got nothing, it's all
:33:17. > :33:20.gone. They took it all. This incident has obviously had a
:33:21. > :33:25.long-term effect on our victim. She's been financially, emotionally
:33:26. > :33:29.and mentally upset. It's really important for me that we catch the
:33:30. > :33:34.offenders quickly to prevent other members of the public becoming
:33:35. > :33:38.victims. At 3pm in the afternoon you don't expect anybody's going to rob
:33:39. > :33:44.you. That's the last thing that enters my head. For Maureen it's
:33:45. > :33:49.been a traumatic and life changing experience. Since this has happened,
:33:50. > :33:53.she locks the door. Even when I arrived, she puts the lock on, the
:33:54. > :33:59.chain on. She's always looking out the window at different cars. She
:34:00. > :34:10.wants to know who the people are in the area, anyone walking past. She's
:34:11. > :34:22.just so... Nervous. It's sad. I don't trust anybody any more. It
:34:23. > :34:30.doesn't pay, does it? Detective Sergeant Phil Poole is with us. She
:34:31. > :34:36.soft and back row lost her life savings. This has had a devastating
:34:37. > :34:42.impact on Maureen. You call these men leaving her home on CCTV, what
:34:43. > :34:46.descriptions do you have? We are looking for four white males from
:34:47. > :34:51.the Irish Traveller community. The first male was wearing a hard hat
:34:52. > :34:56.and high visibility jacket. The second is wearing a brown flat cap
:34:57. > :35:02.and hunting jacket. He was walking with a pronounced limp. The third
:35:03. > :35:06.man is 50-60, six feet tall with a distinctive hat on. The fourth mail
:35:07. > :35:08.is described as being 40, five foot seven and also wearing a cream
:35:09. > :35:18.bobble hat. They also had a distinctive van. We
:35:19. > :35:23.are looking for anybody who recognises this for transit connect
:35:24. > :35:29.van. It got distinctive roof bars and ladders and also has distinctive
:35:30. > :35:34.black type windows. Anybody who can put that together is of interest are
:35:35. > :35:37.asked. You don't think these men are local, do you? We think because they
:35:38. > :35:42.are from the Irish Traveller community that they will have a
:35:43. > :35:45.footprint all over the UK. Anybody who can put those descriptions
:35:46. > :35:49.together, we'd like to hear from them. If you have any information on
:35:50. > :35:55.who these men might be please do get in touch. It's worth remembering if
:35:56. > :36:02.you're a victim of any crime you can call victim support. They are an 080
:36:03. > :36:07.1689 111. Now, animal rustling may sound
:36:08. > :36:10.like a crime from the Wild West. But last year 76,000 sheep,
:36:11. > :36:12.cattle and pigs were estimated Thankfully science is now helping
:36:13. > :36:17.fightback against the thieves and just recently DNA was used
:36:18. > :36:19.to secure the first conviction Temporary Inspector Matthew Howells
:36:20. > :36:22.from Dyfed-Powys Police is here to tell us more -
:36:23. > :36:27.with two very special guests! Matthew, these very cute lambs
:36:28. > :36:29.aren't actually the ones involved in this case,
:36:30. > :36:31.they're tame, hand-reared lambs. But I have to say, they all look
:36:32. > :36:42.pretty similar to me! All farm livestock have to be
:36:43. > :36:47.identified through tags. Sheep in particular, they have to have two
:36:48. > :36:56.tags on each side for agricultural purposes. To prove a sheep's
:36:57. > :37:00.heritage we have to rely on a DNA profile. Farmers can often tell them
:37:01. > :37:06.apart but that's not going to stand up". How is DNA profiling being used
:37:07. > :37:11.for sheep? Most farmers will know their stock but that's not enough to
:37:12. > :37:16.prove that they are bears. In our case 50 sheep were stolen from a
:37:17. > :37:24.farm and the farmer himself did some detective work amongst the farming
:37:25. > :37:28.community and found that 20 ewes had been sold ten days after the theft.
:37:29. > :37:33.He visited the farms, could see that they were here. Two months later
:37:34. > :37:37.once the lambs were born we went with staff from the Animal and Plant
:37:38. > :37:44.Health Agency. We took blood samples from the lambs and the Rams and were
:37:45. > :37:51.able to DNA profile and directly link nine of the 15 lambs to the
:37:52. > :37:57.Rams. That meant the mother of those lands were the stolen ewes.
:37:58. > :38:01.Brilliant evidence, someone was charged and you eventually got a
:38:02. > :38:06.convention. We had a conviction for handling stolen property. The
:38:07. > :38:09.gentleman concerned had an eight-month sentence suspended for
:38:10. > :38:14.two years and a ?1000 fine. The weight of the evidence gave him no
:38:15. > :38:18.choice but to say yes, you got me. It shows that farmers are willing to
:38:19. > :38:23.work with the police and give us the information, report crimes and give
:38:24. > :38:25.us the intelligence. You are from a farming background and you want to
:38:26. > :38:30.highlight the fact it's not just the value of what is stolen, it's the
:38:31. > :38:36.fact this ruins someone's livelihood. 50 sheep being stolen is
:38:37. > :38:45.worth about ?5,000, that's a big impact on a young family business.
:38:46. > :38:49.LAMB BLEATS. The man in this case works to supplement the farming so
:38:50. > :38:57.it impacts on the business. You would always encourage people to get
:38:58. > :39:01.in touch on 101. These are definitely some of the cutest guests
:39:02. > :39:09.we've had on this series but you might disagree with that!
:39:10. > :39:16.This is the newest litter at the dog unit, they are just a few weeks old.
:39:17. > :39:17.It'll be at least a year before they start their proper training to
:39:18. > :39:19.become police dogs. But before that they need some TLC
:39:20. > :39:22.and some careful handling. That's the process Stormzy
:39:23. > :39:24.and Anna here are going through at the moment -
:39:25. > :39:27.they're a few months old, and they're spending lots of time
:39:28. > :39:29.with puppy walker Lesley. Lesley, tell us what you do
:39:30. > :39:38.with these young dogs? Well, we get the dogs socialised.
:39:39. > :39:44.They've got to be confident when they start their working life. We
:39:45. > :39:50.take them everywhere. We get them used are all different sorts of
:39:51. > :39:58.sounds, sights. It's very rewarding. They are quite a handful! You've
:39:59. > :40:02.been doing this for 17 years. Yes. Why is that? I love it. It's very
:40:03. > :40:08.rewarding and you're doing your bit for the community. All dogs are
:40:09. > :40:14.different and you get a lot from handling them. I'm going to give
:40:15. > :40:19.Stormzy back for a moment and come and talk to another puppy walker, PC
:40:20. > :40:26.Gareth Taylor. You're a policeman but you don't work that the dog unit
:40:27. > :40:30.and you're looking after Jenga who is 18 months. Yes, she's ready to
:40:31. > :40:38.start her training. She's already to go. What motivates you? A job! It's
:40:39. > :40:43.been a dream of mine to get onto the dog unit for a number of years. It's
:40:44. > :40:48.all good experience. How difficult is it to give them back? Really
:40:49. > :40:52.difficult, it's incredibly difficult. Thankfully one of the
:40:53. > :41:00.puppies I previously walked, her handler keeps in touch with me. He
:41:01. > :41:06.sends me pictures and it's great. I think I'm going to find it difficult
:41:07. > :41:10.to give Stormzy back! Be back in a moment with the police dog who's
:41:11. > :41:12.been lined up to bite me. Time now for a look at what's been
:41:13. > :41:23.coming in on the calls, Detectives wanted to identify the
:41:24. > :41:28.man seen on CCTV. Officers tell us they are now chasing up a potential
:41:29. > :41:32.name. Also yesterday we were with the West Midlands Police cannabis
:41:33. > :41:37.disposal team. It was an action packed show but the drama didn't end
:41:38. > :41:41.there. If you hours later the team manager was flagged down by a
:41:42. > :41:46.passing motorist and ended up delivering a baby at the roadside! A
:41:47. > :41:49.very busy day for Mike and mum and baby are doing well.
:41:50. > :41:51.So, Tina, where will you be tomorrow?
:41:52. > :41:54.Rav, I'll be in Wiltshire seeing how paramedics train for extreme
:41:55. > :41:56.incidents like chemical spills and train crashes.
:41:57. > :41:58.And we'll also be out with ambulance crews in Bristol,
:41:59. > :42:07.as they cope with the timewasters who dial 999 unnecessarily.
:42:08. > :42:10.Now, I like dogs as much as anyone, but I'm about to test
:42:11. > :42:29.Keith is here with a laugh his German Shepherd who is about to bite
:42:30. > :42:33.me! -- Keith is here with Olaf. All the safety equipment is here, you've
:42:34. > :42:38.got the sleeves on, you when to be in any danger really. When you
:42:39. > :42:46.offered the arm Keith will send the dog into detainee. You ready? Not
:42:47. > :42:49.really but let's it anyway. Keep fighting the dog. Stop fighting the
:42:50. > :42:57.dog. Stop fighting him. Whenever you're ready Keith will release the
:42:58. > :43:01.dog. Instantly the dog is released, that's the safety mechanism. As soon
:43:02. > :43:05.as Keith asks the dog to release he goes back to his handler. That was
:43:06. > :43:08.terrifying, even with all this padding. I would not want to be
:43:09. > :43:12.someone Olaf is chasing! For more details about the crimes
:43:13. > :43:16.on today's programme, Before we go, here's another look
:43:17. > :43:20.at this morning's wanted faces. If any of them look familiar,
:43:21. > :43:23.pick up the phone and tell We'll be back tomorrow
:43:24. > :43:27.morning after Breakfast.
