:00:21. > :00:22.I feel so sorry were not there for her.
:00:23. > :00:26.And I'll be finding out what it takes to be a real life detective.
:00:27. > :00:53.Hello and welcome to Crimewatch Roadshow.
:00:54. > :00:55.As always, we need your help to solve the crimes
:00:56. > :01:03.The crack team of detectives hunting for fugitives hiding out in London.
:01:04. > :01:05.They've got this ghost in the locker if you like,
:01:06. > :01:13.and they're waiting for someone to come and remind them
:01:14. > :01:15.of something they'd hoped they could put
:01:16. > :01:18.A boy with autism on his way home from school, attacked
:01:19. > :01:27.We don't know how dangerous he is, we don't know if the next child
:01:28. > :01:32.he picks on is going to be even younger or even more vulnerable.
:01:33. > :01:34.Today Michelle is at the Met's state-of-the-art police college
:01:35. > :01:43.I'll be finding out how the police train detectives to investigate
:01:44. > :01:44.crime scenes like this one and crack cases.
:01:45. > :01:47.Thanks Michelle, can't wait for that.
:01:48. > :01:49.First up, a terrifying ordeal for a partially
:01:50. > :02:00.sighted grandmother, robbed in her home.
:02:01. > :02:10.I can't believe that anyone would have wanted to hurt my mum. She's
:02:11. > :02:23.elderly, she is vulnerable. She felt safe in her home but not any more.
:02:24. > :02:29.Avtar has lived in Southall for the past 50 years. She is the head of
:02:30. > :02:35.her family and loved by all. My mum has got a larger than life
:02:36. > :02:45.personality and she is fun. Even all our friends or call her big mum. We
:02:46. > :02:52.came over from India on the 16th of January 1965 so mum has lived in
:02:53. > :02:57.that house for a good 40 years. My parents were known as the auntie and
:02:58. > :03:01.uncle that held hands. My dad worshipped my mum. Since Avtar's
:03:02. > :03:06.husband died in 2004, she has lived on her own. The family have done
:03:07. > :03:08.everything they can to protect her independence, even installing a
:03:09. > :03:17.complex CCTV systems throughout her home. In order for her to retain her
:03:18. > :03:20.independence, my brother got the camera installed so we can keep an
:03:21. > :03:26.eye on her. My mum can have the peace of mind, knowing that we can
:03:27. > :03:31.watch her. Unfortunately, on this horrible, horrible day, I was out. I
:03:32. > :03:42.mean, we just weren't watching the cameras.
:03:43. > :03:51.On a Wednesday afternoon, Avtar was at home alone when she heard a knock
:03:52. > :03:57.at the door. It was 2:30pm. She felt quite safe just opening the door.
:03:58. > :04:05.She just expected one of her children. She did not expect to be
:04:06. > :04:10.attacked in her own home. Avtar was confronted by two men. They forced
:04:11. > :04:15.their way in. They pushed her to the floor, frisked her, and ripped off
:04:16. > :04:20.her earrings, bracelets, rings and a necklace. They threatened her in
:04:21. > :04:26.Punjabi. Bay said a word in Punjabi which has double meanings, they said
:04:27. > :04:35.a word which could mean to hit or to kill. What they did next is truly
:04:36. > :04:36.horrific. They grabbed hold of her hands and legs and dragged her into
:04:37. > :04:50.the bedroom. She must have been so, so scared.
:04:51. > :04:55.And even thinking about it scares us. It is just horrible. We feel so
:04:56. > :05:05.helpless that we weren't there for her. Petrified of what they might
:05:06. > :05:10.do, Avtar managed to stand but could only look on as they ransacked house
:05:11. > :05:15.for a full ten minutes. -- ransacked her house. All they could find was a
:05:16. > :05:17.small amount of cash which Avtar had saved for the local temple. They
:05:18. > :05:33.then fled the house. Mum didn't have her long scarf
:05:34. > :05:37.around her neck or her head when she ran out of the house, and that would
:05:38. > :05:41.be something that she would never, ever do. To see her running outside
:05:42. > :05:44.the house like a scared animal and holding onto the door, and I've seen
:05:45. > :05:53.the footage, and just seeing my mum's face, she just... She just
:05:54. > :05:59.looks lost. The level of violence used in this crime is completely and
:06:00. > :06:03.utterly disproportionate to what was stolen. The jewellery had
:06:04. > :06:11.sentimental value but its financial value was of no great significance.
:06:12. > :06:20.But the long-term effects that this has had on Avtar and her family is
:06:21. > :06:23.incalculable. It is my feeling that they knew that she was alone at the
:06:24. > :06:33.time and I would urge the community in Southall on West London, to come
:06:34. > :06:38.forward and assist us. The guys that did what they did to my mum, they
:06:39. > :06:43.don't realise what they've done. It has impacted my mum's life in so
:06:44. > :06:52.many ways. She is not as confident as she used to be. She does not even
:06:53. > :06:55.open the back door now which cooking. Even with the chain on,
:06:56. > :06:59.she's reluctant to do that and in the summer, she won't sit in the
:07:00. > :07:03.garden and less money is her. She doesn't put clothes out on the
:07:04. > :07:09.washing line by herself. They didn't have to do what they did in order to
:07:10. > :07:13.get what they got. They didn't need to touch her. They didn't need to
:07:14. > :07:17.come you know, frisked or scare her and scare her in such a way. They
:07:18. > :07:25.could have just taken it. She is a little old lady.
:07:26. > :07:32.A terrifying ordeal for Avtar. I am with DC Nicholas Strachan, who is
:07:33. > :07:40.investigating this. There has been an arrest made in the case. Yes, in
:07:41. > :07:45.November 2015, I arrested one Ahsan Ali, at the time a 21-year-old
:07:46. > :07:51.Pakistani national. In February this year, he was sentenced to nine years
:07:52. > :07:56.in prison for this brutal robbery. He unfortunately has not cooperated
:07:57. > :08:00.in naming his accomplice. So it is the second man you are looking to
:08:01. > :08:04.identify today? Indeed, the second suspect I'm looking for, at the time
:08:05. > :08:12.of the events, I would estimate he was aged between 17-21. He is a
:08:13. > :08:16.Punjabi speaker. As you can see from the CC TV, he stands about five foot
:08:17. > :08:20.seven, to five foot ten, of slim build with a very large nose and
:08:21. > :08:26.pronounced dark eyebrows. This has had a real impact on Avtar and her
:08:27. > :08:30.family, hasn't it? It was tremendously traumatic for Avtar.
:08:31. > :08:35.She has bounced back to a degree but nevertheless, to this day, she still
:08:36. > :08:40.lives in terror, in her own home, feeling that this unidentified man
:08:41. > :08:42.will return. Hopefully someone will be able to name him. Thank you for
:08:43. > :08:45.joining us. Now it's time to take a look at some
:08:46. > :08:48.more criminals caught on CCTV. Just so you know, the first one
:08:49. > :08:59.of these is pretty nasty. It is closing time at this club on
:09:00. > :09:04.Croydon high Street. But keep your eyes peeled for what happens next. A
:09:05. > :09:10.woman and her friend make their way over to the parked up taxi they have
:09:11. > :09:15.booked. But this man, walking past them, take the chance and get in.
:09:16. > :09:19.The woman tells the cabbie that she's the one who has ordered the
:09:20. > :09:23.car, not the man sitting in the back. She is annoyed and tells him
:09:24. > :09:29.to get out. What happens next is shopping. Having punched the woman
:09:30. > :09:34.once, he goes for her again, until the door staff intervened. The
:09:35. > :09:37.victim needed specialist treatment on her eyes but luckily has now made
:09:38. > :09:45.a full recovery. Police need your help to catch this man. You know
:09:46. > :09:50.what to do. Look closely in the bottom left-hand
:09:51. > :09:55.corner. This bird's eye view shows a man smashing his way into an
:09:56. > :09:59.industrial unit in Buckinghamshire. As he sprints into the warehouse, we
:10:00. > :10:04.get a good look at his face. Do you recognise him? He squirts liquid
:10:05. > :10:11.from the bottle he is carrying all over the stock of newspapers and
:10:12. > :10:15.magazines. Then he likes it. But he's not finished yet. On his way
:10:16. > :10:20.out, he set the loading bay on fire, too. The warehouse quickly goes up
:10:21. > :10:26.in flames, totally gutting the building. Luckily on this occasion,
:10:27. > :10:33.no one was hurt. But around ?30,000 worth of stock was destroyed. This
:10:34. > :10:42.dangerous firestarter needs to be caught. Name him.
:10:43. > :10:47.This homeowner's CCTV catches a visitor to their house in Ashford,
:10:48. > :10:53.Kent, but no one is in and he's not invited. But he is still desperate
:10:54. > :10:57.to get inside. It looks like he's having a bit of trouble working the
:10:58. > :11:06.blinds, though. Especially when the alarm goes off. Police believe this
:11:07. > :11:11.man may be responsible for several burglaries in the area and want to
:11:12. > :11:14.know who he is. Can you tell us his name?
:11:15. > :11:17.If you recognise anyone, now is the time to call.
:11:18. > :11:20.Numbers are on the screen. Or you can text us on 63399.
:11:21. > :11:21.Text CW, space and then your message.
:11:22. > :11:24.Texts will be charged at your standard message rate.
:11:25. > :11:29.Or send us an email. The address is CWR@bbc.co.uk.
:11:30. > :11:31.Now this building is full of surprises.
:11:32. > :11:37.This may look like an unremarkable corridor.
:11:38. > :11:43.Behind every door is a potential crime scene.
:11:44. > :11:48.Who knows what may have happened in this post office or in a domestic
:11:49. > :11:56.situation, for example, what may have occurred in this flat?
:11:57. > :11:59.Detective Inspector Trevor Borley runs the investigation faculty here.
:12:00. > :12:03.Your offices can train for every different type of scenario, can't
:12:04. > :12:07.they? That's right, these rooms are set up to represent real-life crime
:12:08. > :12:14.scene officers may be faced with on the street. You have even got a bar.
:12:15. > :12:17.So, Trevor, set the scene. What is going on here? The scene we have
:12:18. > :12:21.created is an armed robbery, and one of the priorities for me is to try
:12:22. > :12:24.to find the suspect who committed the crime. When you arrive at a
:12:25. > :12:29.crime scene like this, obviously it's against the clock and times of
:12:30. > :12:34.the essence. How do you decide what to prioritise, what is important and
:12:35. > :12:37.what not? We have different word is, firstly, preservation of life,
:12:38. > :12:41.making sure no one is injured and requires medical treatment and after
:12:42. > :12:45.that, other fast time opportunities, like CCTV in the bar, useful to use
:12:46. > :12:48.that to see if we can identify anybody, and also I would have
:12:49. > :12:52.detected out making witness enquiries. You have a scenes of
:12:53. > :12:56.crime officer and a detective constable here. What are they doing
:12:57. > :13:04.and how do they work alongside Edu le? The senior detective, me on this
:13:05. > :13:06.occasion, would have a consultation with the scenes of crime officer and
:13:07. > :13:08.we would decide the priorities around evidential recovery, DNA,
:13:09. > :13:11.fingerprints. We would photograph the premises and as you can see on
:13:12. > :13:15.the floor, we have a baseball bat which appears to have blood on it.
:13:16. > :13:18.We would look for potential DNA evidence and fingerprints,
:13:19. > :13:21.potentially blood on the shirt that is also on the floor and also, we
:13:22. > :13:25.can see what appears to be a spent shell casing from a firearm. We
:13:26. > :13:30.would recover all the evidence. All very important so I might as will
:13:31. > :13:34.help you out. As we continue gathering all the evidence, make
:13:35. > :13:34.sure you join us later as the investigation continues. Who knows
:13:35. > :13:37.what clues we might find? I'm looking forward
:13:38. > :13:39.to finding out whodunnit! There's lots more to come this
:13:40. > :13:40.morning, including... The daughter who had the last
:13:41. > :13:43.memories of her mum stolen Of course, the first
:13:44. > :13:47.thing in my mind is, "Oh no, the memories,
:13:48. > :13:49.the photos, that were And the colourful police car helping
:13:50. > :13:55.in the fight against hate crime. We'll be speaking to actor
:13:56. > :13:59.and presenter Adam Pearson about why Christine Menzies was a happy
:14:00. > :14:10.16-year-old living with her family in north-west Germany,
:14:11. > :14:11.where her father was But 24 years ago today,
:14:12. > :14:16.her body was discovered in undergrowth approximately eight
:14:17. > :14:19.miles from the base. Her killer
:14:20. > :14:21.has never been found. To mark the anniversary
:14:22. > :14:25.of her death, officers re-investigating the case
:14:26. > :14:27.are making their first ever national UK television
:14:28. > :14:29.appeal for information. I am joined by Captain Alex Spanton
:14:30. > :14:41.from the Royal Military Police. Good morning. What do you know about
:14:42. > :14:46.the events leading up to her death? On the Saturday, Christine and her
:14:47. > :14:50.friend had been to the Rhine Army Summer Show, and in the evening went
:14:51. > :14:55.on to Club 47, which was a nightclub on RAF Gutersloh at the time. She
:14:56. > :14:59.made arrangements for her parents to pick her up at midnight and they had
:15:00. > :15:03.arrived earlier, at about 11:30pm, and seen her leaving the club. They
:15:04. > :15:07.spoke with her, Christine was allowed to go back into the club for
:15:08. > :15:12.the final half an hour. From there, we have the last sighting of her
:15:13. > :15:18.leaving the club at the back of the building about midnight. The next
:15:19. > :15:23.time we are aware of where she was was when her body was found at
:15:24. > :15:28.4:45pm on the Sunday afternoon in undergrowth, as you say, a distance
:15:29. > :15:34.away from the base. This is the area she was found, just a few miles from
:15:35. > :15:37.the military base. We have said this was 24 years ago and you have not
:15:38. > :15:41.given up on finding out who did this. Her parents are still
:15:42. > :15:42.desperate for answers and some kind of closure and we can hear from them
:15:43. > :15:51.now. She could be really funny without
:15:52. > :15:57.knowing she was being funny. Little things that she would do, they were
:15:58. > :16:02.really funny. I miss her every day. We are stranded. We've been stranded
:16:03. > :16:07.where we are for the last 24 years. Nothing has moved forward. If
:16:08. > :16:11.somebody comes forward with information, that would make us feel
:16:12. > :16:17.that maybe, at last, we will get justice. Desperate for
:16:18. > :16:22.answers, as you could understand. What leads do you have in this case?
:16:23. > :16:26.The original investigation had forensic evidence currently being
:16:27. > :16:29.reviewed with new technologies. But very little new information at the
:16:30. > :16:35.moment. That is the appeal for today. There was fibre evidence
:16:36. > :16:43.suggesting that Christine was wrapped in a union Jack duvet cover
:16:44. > :16:48.that was sold at the time by the NAAFI. That has never been found.
:16:49. > :16:52.And what about her shoes? They have never been found. These were not for
:16:53. > :16:57.actual shoes, but similar to what she was wearing at the time of her
:16:58. > :17:01.disappearance? Yes. It could trigger someone in -- trigger something in
:17:02. > :17:05.someone's mind? It could do. And it's worth saying that 24 years ago
:17:06. > :17:08.in a military base in Germany, many people may have finished their
:17:09. > :17:14.military service and be living in the UK? These are people you are
:17:15. > :17:15.appealing to? Absolutely, anyone who can help us out with Christine's
:17:16. > :17:26.movements when she was seen for it from midnight to when her body was
:17:27. > :17:27.found, anyone who can help us progress with this case.
:17:28. > :17:30.It's been 24 years of pain for Christine's family.
:17:31. > :17:33.Please, if you can help in any way do get in touch
:17:34. > :17:41.We've been delving into the work of detectives today. They actually have
:17:42. > :17:42.all sorts of different specialisms, from burglaries to fraud, armed
:17:43. > :17:44.robberies to murder. But there's one team in the Met
:17:45. > :17:47.who have a pretty unique job. They are the Extradition Unit,
:17:48. > :17:50.and we followed them as they tracked down the fugitives who cross borders
:17:51. > :18:03.to escape the law. London. Home to around 9 million
:18:04. > :18:06.people. Hidden amongst them? Fugitives. Wanted for crimes
:18:07. > :18:11.committed across the world... That if they think they are safe, they
:18:12. > :18:15.are wrong. It is the job of a specialist team of detectives to
:18:16. > :18:21.find them and bring them to justice. We are actively and routinely trying
:18:22. > :18:30.to find some of the most wanted criminals from across Europe and the
:18:31. > :18:34.world. It is 6am, and work starts early for the Met's extradition
:18:35. > :18:39.unit. With thousands of warrants issued for people wanted in other
:18:40. > :18:45.countries, this dedicated team are responsible for making more than 500
:18:46. > :18:52.arrests per year. Today, DSP trance and his team are on the hunt for a
:18:53. > :18:58.fugitive convicted of crimes. In Poland. This is the chap we are
:18:59. > :19:01.looking for this morning. He is wanted in Poland. The team arrive at
:19:02. > :19:07.what they believe to be the wanted man's address. The offences took
:19:08. > :19:13.place about ten years ago now but they are serious offences. An
:19:14. > :19:17.offence of robbery where he was involved in beating a man and
:19:18. > :19:20.causing him quite serious injuries over a protracted period of time.
:19:21. > :19:27.Also, in controlling the number of girls, a prostitute ring in Poland.
:19:28. > :19:32.Serious enough offences for us to warrant getting out of bed at 4:30am
:19:33. > :19:37.this morning and coming to try and arrest him. As Pete approaches the
:19:38. > :19:39.front of the house, the team cover other exits in case the fugitive
:19:40. > :20:02.decides to do a runner... Nobody is answering the door, but
:20:03. > :20:10.convinced someone is inside, the team stay put. Good morning. Sorry
:20:11. > :20:17.to trouble you, Detective Pete Rance from the police. Do you understand
:20:18. > :20:19.why we are here? OK, from the Metropolitan Police extradition
:20:20. > :20:30.unit, I'm Detective Sergeant Pete Rance. Can you tell me your full
:20:31. > :20:35.name? British? Polish? Sebastien, there is a European arrest warrant
:20:36. > :20:38.issued for you by Poland. I have to arrest you on that warrant, you do
:20:39. > :20:42.not have to say anything, anything you do say may be given in evidence.
:20:43. > :20:46.Do you understand? You are not in trouble in this country but there
:20:47. > :20:51.needs to be a court process to see whether a judge decides to send you
:20:52. > :20:53.back to Poland. We will take you to a local police station today and
:20:54. > :21:03.then take you to Westminster Magistrates' Court and the court
:21:04. > :21:06.process will begin. How is your English, do you understand what I am
:21:07. > :21:09.saying? Knowing he can no longer evade justice, he makes a desperate
:21:10. > :21:12.phone call to his lawyer. But there is no response. Bring the phone, and
:21:13. > :21:15.you can call him in the car, or when we get to the police station or when
:21:16. > :21:20.we leave the police station. We will stay with you now until we go to
:21:21. > :21:24.court, OK? This fugitive, who has been living with his wife and
:21:25. > :21:27.children in London for the last three years now faces a real
:21:28. > :21:40.prospect of being extradited back to Poland. OK? Yes. We will take him
:21:41. > :21:42.now to Belgravia police station. He knew that the writing was on the
:21:43. > :21:48.wall and that the time would come for him to have to say goodbye to
:21:49. > :21:50.his family. At the police station we will take into the custody officer
:21:51. > :21:57.and explain why he has been arrested. Pete discovers life on the
:21:58. > :22:07.run has taken its toll on Sebastien. How long have you been
:22:08. > :22:09.here? Three years. And you've been waiting everyday for this? I thought
:22:10. > :22:27.that was the case. It's now a race against time. By
:22:28. > :22:31.law, they have to get into court as soon as possible, within hours of
:22:32. > :22:36.his arrest. It will be up to the judge to decide whether he stays, or
:22:37. > :22:42.goes back to Poland to finish his sentence. He has said to us that he
:22:43. > :22:46.was waiting for the knock on the door for some three years. I've got
:22:47. > :22:52.this ghost in the locker, if you like. They are waiting for somebody
:22:53. > :22:57.to come and remind them of something that they had hoped they could
:22:58. > :23:01.forget. There is no time for reflection. For Pete and his team,
:23:02. > :23:03.is time to track down the next fugitive...
:23:04. > :23:05.I'm joined now by Detective Sergeant Pete Rance
:23:06. > :23:16.What is the latest on the man we saw in the film there? His case is next
:23:17. > :23:20.before the courts on June 16, we are awaiting a decision from the court
:23:21. > :23:23.now. There are some potentially dangerous fugitives here and you
:23:24. > :23:37.need the public's help tracking them down? Yes, the first case that we've
:23:38. > :23:39.asked for help with is Casius-Cley Bancuta and Stelu Banica, two
:23:40. > :23:43.Romanians accused of attempted murder last August, they beat a man
:23:44. > :23:46.with a shovel and night. We believe they are in London and if the public
:23:47. > :23:51.see them or know them, do not approach them but call us on this
:23:52. > :23:57.number. And another man? This historic case goes back to 1999.
:23:58. > :24:01.Veselyn Mateev Kavaldziev is wanted for murder. We believe again that he
:24:02. > :24:04.may be in London and we would ask the public not to approach them,
:24:05. > :24:06.give us a call on this number so that we can speak to them.
:24:07. > :24:10.If you recognise any of these men, please call now using
:24:11. > :24:14.And you can see more of Pete and his team in action
:24:15. > :24:17.in a new episode of Fugitives on Friday the 23rd of June
:24:18. > :24:22.Now, every parent wants to know their children are safe
:24:23. > :24:24.when they make their way to and from school.
:24:25. > :24:26.But for one mother that ended when her young son
:24:27. > :24:42.Willesden Green in north-west London. There are a number of
:24:43. > :24:45.schools in the vicinity, and it is a common sight to see children walking
:24:46. > :24:51.the streets on the way home in the afternoon. It is an area where there
:24:52. > :24:55.are luxe McCrickard lot 's of young kids and they have grown up together
:24:56. > :25:00.and go to school together. -- there are lots of kids.
:25:01. > :25:03.Growing up there are a lot of kids, and it feel safe at that time of
:25:04. > :25:08.day. For this mother it was crucial her son had the confidence to walk
:25:09. > :25:13.home alone, because routine is very important for children with autism.
:25:14. > :25:16.We spent a long time over the summer holidays teaching him the route, so
:25:17. > :25:22.that he would have the independence to be able to walk with his friends.
:25:23. > :25:27.It is important for him not to always be too cotton world. He needs
:25:28. > :25:31.to be like the other kids. Her son has a form of high functioning
:25:32. > :25:38.autism, which makes it hard for him to read the intentions of other
:25:39. > :25:42.people. He is very caring, he's a very good boy. But trusting. So if
:25:43. > :25:47.somebody has asked him for his help, he will always try to help them, no
:25:48. > :25:51.matter what. He's not really able to understand that somebody may be
:25:52. > :25:55.lying. On the 11th of January this year, her son was on his way home
:25:56. > :26:01.when a man pushing a bicycle came up and spoke to him. A man approached
:26:02. > :26:06.him, and asked him for help. He said he wanted my son to take a picture
:26:07. > :26:10.to send to his brother who was in Norway. He wanted him to take a
:26:11. > :26:17.picture at his house. He wanted his brother to see that he had a house.
:26:18. > :26:25.The man led the school boy off the main road, and towards a nearby
:26:26. > :26:28.housing estate on Griffin Close. He deliberately had taken him to quite
:26:29. > :26:32.a secluded spot, so he went along with the guy to take the photo. As
:26:33. > :26:37.he was concentrating on looking at the man's phone to take the photo,
:26:38. > :26:44.the man came up behind him and grabbed him. It was then that the
:26:45. > :26:50.man sexually assaulted the school boy. He said that he was grabbed,
:26:51. > :26:54.and he held him, and I think that was the most frightening thing for
:26:55. > :27:02.him. He felt he couldn't get away. The guy held him. He knew it wasn't
:27:03. > :27:06.right, and he felt very, very uncomfortable about it. I was at
:27:07. > :27:12.work, sitting on the computer. My phone went and it was my son ringing
:27:13. > :27:17.from home. He was quite upset. He something happened to him on the way
:27:18. > :27:23.home and he found it difficult to explain what it was. I rushed home,
:27:24. > :27:27.and on the way I called the police. Police investigating the crime have
:27:28. > :27:31.released an image of the man, taken from CCTV at the scene of the
:27:32. > :27:36.offence. In the hope that someone will recognise him. This is a very
:27:37. > :27:40.serious crime. It's a vulnerable school boy that suffers from autism.
:27:41. > :27:44.It is an assault which has happened in broad daylight while he walked
:27:45. > :27:50.home from school. It is particularly concerning for the local community
:27:51. > :27:53.and we would urge anyone with information to come forward. This
:27:54. > :27:57.crime is also particularly concerning because the boy in
:27:58. > :28:01.question is quite young in age, but looks somewhat younger than his
:28:02. > :28:09.years as well. So it's a concern that maybe this suspect is looking
:28:10. > :28:12.for children of a very young age. Even months later, this attack has
:28:13. > :28:20.left its mark on the boy, and his mother. It's a horrible feeling.
:28:21. > :28:24.It's a shadow cast over our lives. I just think that it is very sad that
:28:25. > :28:29.he found out in such a nasty way that people are not always kind. Not
:28:30. > :28:33.everyone is like him. I hope with the help of people watching this
:28:34. > :28:37.that we may be able to pertaining to the man who did this to him. Make
:28:38. > :28:41.sure he doesn't do it to anyone else. We don't know how dangerous
:28:42. > :28:42.years, we don't know if the next child he picks on is even younger or
:28:43. > :28:46.even more vulnerable. With me now is Detective
:28:47. > :28:47.Constable Charlie Guy This was a really worrying
:28:48. > :28:59.attack wasn't it? Yes. This was particularly worrying
:29:00. > :29:03.as the young boy suffers from autism, which makes him even more
:29:04. > :29:07.vulnerable. He was a schoolboy on his way home from school, and the
:29:08. > :29:12.attack happened in broad daylight. The suspect met him on Park Avenue
:29:13. > :29:16.and led him to Griffin Close, the estate nearby. There is some good
:29:17. > :29:21.CCTV footage of this man, isn't there? Yes, we got some from Griffin
:29:22. > :29:25.Close. It shows the suspect and young boy walking up towards the
:29:26. > :29:29.alleyway and they emerge about a minute or so later. The boy runs off
:29:30. > :29:34.towards his home address. The suspect we are looking for is Asian,
:29:35. > :29:40.possibly south-east Asian and in his 20s. Around 5'4". Slim build, he has
:29:41. > :29:45.a distinctive Green Park a jacket with an emblem on his sleeve and a
:29:46. > :29:49.grey beanie hat. The boy mentions that he had a push bike which we do
:29:50. > :29:53.not have a picture of, but he mentioned something about a brother
:29:54. > :29:59.in Norway. We do not know if this is true or not. He had a phone with him
:30:00. > :30:03.that was not an iPhone. The mother mentioned that she just wants a
:30:04. > :30:07.name, someone to recognise this man, doesn't she? Yes, we need closure on
:30:08. > :30:09.this case. Someone out there would know who this man is. We urge anyone
:30:10. > :30:12.who knows who it is come forward. If you recognise this man please
:30:13. > :30:16.pick up the phone and call now, Now, this doesn't look
:30:17. > :30:22.like your usual police vehicle but this Rainbow Car is actually
:30:23. > :30:24.helping in the fight And stepping out is PC Ian Ashton
:30:25. > :30:35.from Lancashire Constabulary. Good morning. Thank you for joining
:30:36. > :30:40.us. Tell us about your car. This is one of our new response vehicles, De
:30:41. > :30:46.Vreede up in the rainbow colours, specifically to raise awareness in
:30:47. > :30:51.the LGBT community on the need to report hate crime. How are you using
:30:52. > :30:56.it to do this? The vehicle is out 24 hours a day on a normal shift with
:30:57. > :30:59.response teams, responding to normal 999 incidents and other incident
:31:00. > :31:03.with the police. It is a focal point for people to see what it is, come
:31:04. > :31:05.up and speak to us and find out what it is about and it's about
:31:06. > :31:10.increasing confidence and trust. Breaking down the barriers are
:31:11. > :31:13.people can come and talk. Is it helping? Yes, it's really good,
:31:14. > :31:16.people see what it is about and it gives them confidence and trust to
:31:17. > :31:23.come forward. You are finding there is more hate crime at the moment?
:31:24. > :31:26.Yes, in places like London and Manchester, we tend to see a spike
:31:27. > :31:29.in hate crime but we want to encourage people to report. It is
:31:30. > :31:34.massively underreported nationally and locally. And things like this
:31:35. > :31:36.are helping. Thanks for joining us and good luck with it.
:31:37. > :31:39.As PC Ian Ashton was saying there, hate crime is a growing problem.
:31:40. > :31:41.According to recent Home Office figures the number
:31:42. > :31:45.of hate crime incidents rose 19% from 2015 to 2016.
:31:46. > :31:51.Disability hate crime has risen most and Adam Pearson is one of the
:31:52. > :31:55.people who knows why it is so important to deal with it. You have
:31:56. > :32:00.had some sickening abuse yourself. What kind of things have you
:32:01. > :32:06.encountered? There's a real spectrum. Abuse in the streets, I
:32:07. > :32:09.was just at a bus stop and there was a guy with a camera phone, getting
:32:10. > :32:14.in my face, asking if I was from this planet, taking photos. Then you
:32:15. > :32:17.get the good old keyboard warriors. People who are only brave and they
:32:18. > :32:22.are behind the keyboard and you find that a lot as well? Yes, everyone
:32:23. > :32:27.has an opinion and they are not afraid to give it. I have to say,
:32:28. > :32:31.some people think there is no point reporting to police but what would
:32:32. > :32:34.you say to those people question mark absolutely a point, hate crimes
:32:35. > :32:39.are real stigma that affects people in a real, long-term way. It is very
:32:40. > :32:42.easy to point and say it is harmless name-calling, boys will be boys and
:32:43. > :32:46.what have you but the only way we will ever bring those statistics
:32:47. > :32:50.down, and stop hate crime happening is to report it efficiently and
:32:51. > :32:55.effectively. How do you find something like the Rainbow Car
:32:56. > :32:58.question mark is it a good anything that brings down hate crime gets my
:32:59. > :33:02.vote. You don't mind saying that you are quite strong-willed, and you get
:33:03. > :33:06.some abuse and you can take it more than some people but I want to
:33:07. > :33:09.hammer the point home that no one should stand for this at all. It
:33:10. > :33:13.does not matter who you are, it is not acceptable, it is illegal and
:33:14. > :33:18.you want to make sure... As you say, it is criminal. It is criminal
:33:19. > :33:21.behaviour and you should treat it as such. Thank you for joining us. And
:33:22. > :33:28.I'm sorry that you have that awful abuse, but very important words you
:33:29. > :33:31.have just said, and let's hope the Rainbow Car helps others to come
:33:32. > :33:33.forward, as Adam says, and report hate crime. It is worth knowing that
:33:34. > :33:35.the victims of any crime can speak to victim support. The number is on
:33:36. > :33:39.your screen now. Next, a woman in Tottenham in north
:33:40. > :33:43.London, still grieving the recent loss of her mum, has been left
:33:44. > :33:46.devastated after the last memories of her were stolen
:33:47. > :33:59.by a heartless thief. As an only child to a single parent,
:34:00. > :34:05.Connie had always been very close to her mum. Said a household is a very
:34:06. > :34:10.small household, it has always been me and my mum so for me, family
:34:11. > :34:14.really is my mum. Originally from China, Connie came to London to
:34:15. > :34:21.study and stayed when she got a job in the city. Three years ago, her
:34:22. > :34:25.mother came to join her. She doesn't speak that much English. I was her
:34:26. > :34:30.eyes and ears. So yeah, we had a very close bond. But their reunion
:34:31. > :34:35.was overshadowed, as her mum had been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
:34:36. > :34:42.She was quite young, she was not even 60. The type of cancer she had
:34:43. > :34:48.was very rare. In her last months, Connie's mum recorded her final
:34:49. > :34:53.memories on her phone. Photos of our last trip, photos of her in the
:34:54. > :34:58.hospital bed, in the hospice. Her last ever photo. Really, just the
:34:59. > :35:02.entire last year of her life. In the weeks after her death, Connie kept
:35:03. > :35:07.her mum's phone close to her in case any friends had not heard the news
:35:08. > :35:12.about her death. Thereof still a lot of phone calls and messages from her
:35:13. > :35:20.old friends, either in China or in the UK so I carry it with me, to let
:35:21. > :35:28.people know. Two months after her mother passed away, Connie was out
:35:29. > :35:32.shopping at Tottenham beat up. We were decorating the bathroom so I
:35:33. > :35:37.went to buy some tiles. As always, she had her mum's phone close at
:35:38. > :35:40.hand. At that time, I was at the peak of my grief, thinking about
:35:41. > :35:44.every day so I was constantly aware of where the phone is. She was
:35:45. > :35:50.leading her shopping into the boot of the car when a man her. He made
:35:51. > :35:56.some small talk and I was small talking back. I remember the last
:35:57. > :36:03.thing that he said to me was, "Don't worry, I'll keep the area safe". But
:36:04. > :36:07.keeping the area safe was the last thing on this brazen criminal's
:36:08. > :36:11.mind. I slammed the door closed, put the trolley away, returned to the
:36:12. > :36:15.car, which probably overall takes half a minute and immediately, I
:36:16. > :36:24.realised I can't see my bag any more. Worst of all, in the bag was
:36:25. > :36:31.her mum's phone. Of course, the first thing in my mind is," oh, no,
:36:32. > :36:35.the memories, the photos, mum's words that were saved on the phone".
:36:36. > :36:39.Desperate for its return, Connie used a member of staff's phone to
:36:40. > :36:44.text the thief in an attempt to appeal to his conscience. You have
:36:45. > :36:51.my dead mother 's phone. Please come back. I will pay you, no questions
:36:52. > :36:55.asked. She tried to use her phone tracking app to locate it. I
:36:56. > :37:03.realised he's on the move, away from me. That was the point when I lost
:37:04. > :37:11.hope. We did receive a phone call from him. It was silence. But
:37:12. > :37:16.afterwards, he hung up. Unfortunately, the phone is switched
:37:17. > :37:19.off on Stoke Newington high road. We understand we're not going to the
:37:20. > :37:24.property back but what we would hope is that someone would be able to
:37:25. > :37:29.identify this man because of the nature of what he has done. He
:37:30. > :37:34.clearly hasn't cared at all about the hurt that he was causing. To
:37:35. > :37:41.have that crucian removed, that her mother prepared for her, -- that
:37:42. > :37:47.cushion removed. I can't imagine how hard that would be to deal with. It
:37:48. > :37:50.was a shame from my part that I did not back up the phone in time.
:37:51. > :37:55.Partially because I felt I would never lose it. Partially because,
:37:56. > :38:01.you know, backing up the phone was the last thing I wanted to do every
:38:02. > :38:04.day and there was a lot going on back then. -- last thing on my to-do
:38:05. > :38:08.list every day. I'm worried about forgetting the moment that we spent
:38:09. > :38:11.together, yeah. So that is what impacts me the most.
:38:12. > :38:16.PC Hannah Woodfield is investigating.
:38:17. > :38:23.We know that Connie was able to track the phone for a short while
:38:24. > :38:26.afterwards. Yes, she was able to use the phone tracking app to track the
:38:27. > :38:31.phone from Tottenham to soak Newington. Wattimena but the
:38:32. > :38:34.suspect? He's approximately five foot eight, five or ten, Middle East
:38:35. > :38:38.and Turkish and appearance, dark black Haywood is greying, and the
:38:39. > :38:42.victim said he had a prominent nose. This case is really important to
:38:43. > :38:46.you, isn't it? It was the first case I was aside when I came to Haringey
:38:47. > :38:50.Borough and I would like some justice for the absolutely terrible
:38:51. > :38:55.situation she had with the phone being taken. This is the thing, the
:38:56. > :38:59.phone was really important to her, the sentimental value. Yes, the
:39:00. > :39:02.phone contained memories and messages from her dead mother and
:39:03. > :39:07.you can't put a price on that. It is definitely worth more than the value
:39:08. > :39:13.of the phone. If anyone recognises this man, please get in touch. You
:39:14. > :39:15.can e-mail or send a text, any information at all, get in touch.
:39:16. > :39:18.Now it's time for a look at today's Wanted Faces.
:39:19. > :39:19.Starting with 33-year-old Mitchell Harris.
:39:20. > :39:22.He was charged in connection with a violent disorder in Rugby
:39:23. > :39:24.town centre in which four local men were attacked.
:39:25. > :39:26.He was due in court, but didn't turn up.
:39:27. > :39:29.Originally from Sunderland, he may now be working
:39:30. > :39:36.Or do you recognise 26-year-old Paul Daniel Heaton?
:39:37. > :39:39.He was convicted at York Crown Court of supplying Class A drugs
:39:40. > :39:41.across Scarborough, but failed to turn up to be sentenced.
:39:42. > :39:44.Heaton has a Mancunian accent and links across the city,
:39:45. > :39:51.in particular to Failsworth, Moston and Cheetham Hill areas.
:39:52. > :39:54.Next is Gbenga Ajibade - although he calls himself all sorts
:39:55. > :40:00.of different names including Oluwagbenga Olanrewaju.
:40:01. > :40:03.He was arrested in connection with a series of high value fraud
:40:04. > :40:06.offences targeting bank and mobile phone customers.
:40:07. > :40:08.He was released on police bail but has hasn't returned
:40:09. > :40:12.Ajibade is five foot five inches tall, originally from Nigeria
:40:13. > :40:17.and has links to East London, Kent and Birmingham.
:40:18. > :40:20.Finally, we have Raja Majid Ali, although he too uses numerous
:40:21. > :40:24.different names including Malik Amir, Mitara Bayal,
:40:25. > :40:30.Detectives would like to question him in connection to a series
:40:31. > :40:32.of thefts from different employers at newsagents and convenience
:40:33. > :40:41.Ali is 35 and has friends in Essex, North Yorkshire and Hertfordshire.
:40:42. > :40:44.If you know where any of these faces are, make sure you get in touch
:40:45. > :40:53.I'm joined again by Detective Inspector Trevor Borley.
:40:54. > :40:55.Earlier, we were at the scene of an armed robbery
:40:56. > :40:58.Now detectives have found the next vital clue...
:40:59. > :41:09.Yes, potentially, we have the getaway car. What are we looking
:41:10. > :41:12.for? We are conducting a frantic investigation to try to link this
:41:13. > :41:17.vehicle to the crime scene and also the bar and potentially the suspects
:41:18. > :41:20.involved. Again, we have got the detectives and scenes of crime
:41:21. > :41:23.officers. What is the decision-making process they go
:41:24. > :41:27.through at the moment? I've already had a consultation with the scenes
:41:28. > :41:30.of crime officer here. We have photographed the vehicle and now we
:41:31. > :41:34.are systematically searching it for forensic evidence. We are looking
:41:35. > :41:39.for things like fingerprints, of course, DNA, tapings from peoples
:41:40. > :41:44.clothing which may link us to a suspect and back to the bar. We want
:41:45. > :41:49.to join ripping up. That is what they are swapping? Yes, looking at
:41:50. > :41:52.the passenger window, this appears to be blood-soaked DNA evidence
:41:53. > :41:57.being recovered at the moment. How important is it to link the evidence
:41:58. > :42:00.you find in this god what we found earlier in the bar? Absently crucial
:42:01. > :42:05.for a successful prosecution, we need to everything up to get it to
