We're on the road once again asking you to help police solve crimes

:00:00.:00:07.

A brutal attack on a 76-year-old woman as she walked

:00:08.:00:13.

I spun round and when I looked up he had the hammer in his hand.

:00:14.:00:19.

He hit my shoulder with that and then my head.

:00:20.:00:21.

The fugitive hunters tracking down criminals wanted abroad.

:00:22.:00:25.

You're under arrest on a European Arrest Warrant

:00:26.:00:27.

for an offence of illicit immigration/ human trafficking.

:00:28.:00:29.

And I'll be finding out how police are cracking down on smugglers

:00:30.:00:32.

using small planes like this to dodge the law.

:00:33.:00:36.

Hello and welcome to Crimewatch Roadshow.

:00:37.:01:05.

As always, we need your help to solve the crimes

:01:06.:01:07.

The modern-day slaves exploited and living in squalor.

:01:08.:01:17.

I put up with this suffering to help out my family.

:01:18.:01:23.

And Emma Caldwell's body was found in a wood in South Lanarkshire.

:01:24.:01:26.

12 years on, a new appeal to find her killer.

:01:27.:01:33.

Today the team haved moved on to Sherburn

:01:34.:01:35.

It's a beautiful morning here and I'm going to be finding out why the

:01:36.:01:49.

police and the National Crime Agency are keeping a close eye on the many

:01:50.:01:52.

thousands of small airfield like this one across the country where,

:01:53.:01:56.

increasingly, they are being exploited by criminals bringing in

:01:57.:01:59.

illegal goods, drugs and even people.

:02:00.:02:02.

First, to Cleckheaton in West Yorkshire where an elderly

:02:03.:02:06.

woman was subjected to a vicious attack in broad daylight.

:02:07.:02:15.

Sheila and Ian Meskimmon have lived in Cleckheaton for 28 years. At 76

:02:16.:02:24.

years old, Sheila has always enjoyed her independence, especially when

:02:25.:02:29.

Ian is off with his friends. Ian Bell is on a Monday and Thursday so

:02:30.:02:33.

usually, he goes off at lunchtime and I wander down to the shops in

:02:34.:02:37.

Cleckheaton and I've been doing that for years. I only lead a simple

:02:38.:02:45.

life, really, nothing exciting. Just wander round the shops, not very

:02:46.:02:50.

many, then come back up on the Greenway and take the same route

:02:51.:02:57.

when I'm coming back. The Greenway is a cycle path used by many locals

:02:58.:03:04.

as a short cut. One afternoon last month, Sheila had been shopping and

:03:05.:03:13.

was walking her usual route home. That this time, she was being

:03:14.:03:19.

watched. I was just walking down and I heard these footsteps coming

:03:20.:03:23.

behind me so I just moved to the one side. Somebody touched me on the

:03:24.:03:32.

shoulder. To her horror, Sheila realised her attacker had a weapon.

:03:33.:03:37.

I spun round and saw him left the hammer and he hit my shoulder with

:03:38.:03:46.

the hammer. And my head. Get off! Then he looked where my bag was, saw

:03:47.:03:51.

the purse on top, so I grabbed the hammer off him and bent down,

:03:52.:03:58.

grabbed my purse out of my bag, set off up the Greenway, and that was

:03:59.:04:02.

the last time I saw him. It was over in such a short span of time. I

:04:03.:04:07.

think if he hadn't seen a person, we wouldn't have let go of the hammer.

:04:08.:04:11.

I think he would have hit me again so he could get my bag but seeing

:04:12.:04:18.

the press, it saved me from getting a lot harder beating. Blood was

:04:19.:04:29.

pouring out from my face. I had two shoes, everything wet through. I

:04:30.:04:36.

thought, I need to get home. Sheila was in shock. The hammer had hit an

:04:37.:04:41.

artery in her head, a passer-by called an ambulance and he was taken

:04:42.:04:49.

to hospital for a brain scan. The man who put the stitches in comedy

:04:50.:04:52.

pulled my hair apart like that and there was blood everywhere and they

:04:53.:04:57.

looked like a punk rocker with red hair! A policeman took me to Leeds

:04:58.:05:06.

General where she was. And I could see what a horrendous mess she was

:05:07.:05:12.

in. All covered in blood. Quite a shock. This was a violent attack on

:05:13.:05:23.

a vulnerable person. The man used completely unnecessary force. She

:05:24.:05:31.

was immediately struck with a weapon which caused serious injury. This

:05:32.:05:34.

happened on a well-known and well used public area. On an afternoon.

:05:35.:05:40.

The police are appealing for any information to help trace this

:05:41.:05:45.

person involved. The attack has seriously affected Sheila's

:05:46.:05:51.

confidence but she is determined to move on with her life. The biggest

:05:52.:05:58.

problem at the moment is she's not sure what his going to be like if

:05:59.:06:02.

she goes out on her own. But I would like to see her try to do it. I

:06:03.:06:09.

shan't go down that path on the Greenway any more. Forget about that

:06:10.:06:13.

now. I'll just come back up the road. You've got to get on with your

:06:14.:06:19.

life or they have one, in the end. You got to carry on and just forget

:06:20.:06:23.

about it if you can. Put it on the back of your mind. I hope they find

:06:24.:06:29.

him so he doesn't do it to anybody else. I would hate anybody else to

:06:30.:06:35.

be hit on the head with a hammer, although he hasn't got a hammer now

:06:36.:06:37.

because I stole it off him! Well, it's really impressive that

:06:38.:06:43.

Sheila managed to grab DC Kris Roberts from

:06:44.:06:45.

West Yorkshire Police joins me now. This was a particularly

:06:46.:06:48.

vicious attack, wasn't it? Fortunately, there haven't been any

:06:49.:06:56.

other incident similar to this wonderful stop the violence used was

:06:57.:07:01.

completely unnecessary. Tell us more about where it happened. It is

:07:02.:07:08.

Monday the 8th of May in Cleckheaton, 2:20pm. The Greenway is

:07:09.:07:12.

a busy area, popular with locals, dog walkers, joggers, runners, there

:07:13.:07:16.

is a little track which leads off to an estate called Roydwood Estate and

:07:17.:07:23.

it was there it happened. Sheila suffered some nasty injuries from

:07:24.:07:28.

this attack. Yes, she had a serious wound to her head. It required

:07:29.:07:32.

hospital treatment, bruising to her face and shoulder. What do we know

:07:33.:07:35.

about the suspect, because she was able to describe him? Sheila did

:07:36.:07:40.

very well considering the split-second she had face-to-face

:07:41.:07:42.

with the attacker, she could give a good description. A white male

:07:43.:07:48.

between 50-60, Paul and Slim, unshaven grey stubbly face, a black

:07:49.:07:55.

woollen hat. You have brought Mohammed used. This is the hammer

:07:56.:08:01.

Sheila took from him. It's a substantial hammer, quite heavy, in

:08:02.:08:07.

a plastic bag because of the frantic examinations for has been found on

:08:08.:08:10.

the hammer but unfortunately it goes back to Sheila. Today you're looking

:08:11.:08:14.

for any information at all. If you do recognise that the man from bad

:08:15.:08:22.

ethernet, make sure you get in touch with as. We will be standing by for

:08:23.:08:24.

your calls. Next, do you recognise any

:08:25.:08:26.

of today's criminals caught on CCTV? Just so you know, a couple of these

:08:27.:08:30.

are pretty serious. A woman is returning home late on a

:08:31.:08:38.

Friday night. Completely unaware she's been followed. As she parks in

:08:39.:08:43.

her driveway, a group of men suddenly rushed towards her.

:08:44.:08:47.

Terrified, she sounds her pawn for help. Her husband runs out from the

:08:48.:08:53.

house and tries to fight off the robbers but he is easily

:08:54.:08:57.

outnumbered. They struggle with his wife. Eventually grabbing her

:08:58.:09:01.

handbag. And then they make a run for it. These lowlife thugs took

:09:02.:09:08.

around ?3000 in cash and the woman's bank cards, but they also left her

:09:09.:09:14.

badly shaken. Police want to speak to this man who they believe was

:09:15.:09:18.

caught on camera using the stolen cards the next day. If you know who

:09:19.:09:21.

they are, give us their names. It is the early hours of the morning

:09:22.:09:34.

but the party is still going strong in this pub in Wolverhampton. A

:09:35.:09:38.

group of colleagues are out celebrating and minding their own

:09:39.:09:42.

business but one unruly punter in the bobble hat is about to ruin the

:09:43.:09:47.

night out. A man is standing with his co-workers getting ready to

:09:48.:09:52.

leave when, out of nowhere, the bloke storms over and swings for

:09:53.:09:56.

him, punching him in the eye. The attacker is dragged off leaving the

:09:57.:10:00.

victim in pain on the floor. He was later taken to hospital where he had

:10:01.:10:04.

to have surgery for a fractured eye socket. Do you know who this brutish

:10:05.:10:07.

bloke is? A house in Norfolk, but these three

:10:08.:10:19.

don't live here. They have broken in and seemed to be making themselves

:10:20.:10:23.

quite at home. This one spot something he likes and it is swiped.

:10:24.:10:29.

Hunting through the house upstairs and down, what they couldn't count

:10:30.:10:35.

on was the homeowner turning up. He signs his horn to scare them off. It

:10:36.:10:42.

seems to do the job quite nicely. Can you name this thieving trio?

:10:43.:10:47.

If you recognise any of that lot, get on the phone now.

:10:48.:10:50.

You can call for free on 08000 468999.

:10:51.:10:52.

Text CW, space and then your message.

:10:53.:10:56.

Texts will be charged at your standard message rate.

:10:57.:10:59.

Now, small airfields like this can be a gateway for criminals smuggling

:11:00.:11:10.

Keeping an eye on this is very much part of your job, isn't it?

:11:11.:11:21.

It is, yes. I'm a member of the special Branch intelligence unit and

:11:22.:11:27.

as an example, in North Yorkshire alone we have just over 100 small

:11:28.:11:32.

airfields like the one we are here at today. We have set up a training

:11:33.:11:36.

exercise, an aeroplane landed earlier and the officers have no

:11:37.:11:40.

idea where the plane has come from 08081 689 111 who was on board but

:11:41.:11:42.

we can see the officers being briefed at the moment. What are they

:11:43.:11:50.

being told? To support Project Pegasus, for the public to report

:11:51.:11:54.

flying movements, today is an exercise based on a from that member

:11:55.:11:57.

of the public from a phone call suggesting it was a low-level flying

:11:58.:12:02.

aircraft could possibly from the continent, which has landed here

:12:03.:12:05.

today. I have been told to speak to the occupants and possibly carry out

:12:06.:12:09.

a search and find out whether anything untoward has happened. You

:12:10.:12:13.

can see the pilot coming out with another person so what are the

:12:14.:12:17.

officers trying to do is to not we have to find out where the aircraft

:12:18.:12:21.

has come from and who are the people on board, so they will be looking at

:12:22.:12:24.

things like passport, documentation, just to see what they have got,

:12:25.:12:29.

really. What kind of documentation do need to have to fly in airfields

:12:30.:12:34.

like this? From the continent, it would be reasonable to have

:12:35.:12:38.

passports at the very least, but for an internal flight, you don't need

:12:39.:12:42.

anything. It's like using a car. That's what they are doing now,

:12:43.:12:48.

speaking to the people. Thank you very much, interestingly, an

:12:49.:12:50.

important part of this investigation is the dog searches. I'm joined now

:12:51.:12:57.

by Noel Hancock, the dog handler for this lovely dog, so we will head

:12:58.:13:00.

over to the scene because the dog would carry out a search but what is

:13:01.:13:07.

she looking for? Drugs, cash and firearms. Talk me through exactly

:13:08.:13:12.

what she will be sniffing out because it has the power of sent.

:13:13.:13:20.

That's correct. Off she goes. Straightaway she is sniffing all the

:13:21.:13:21.

areas to try and detect something. She's heading into the back hatch

:13:22.:13:36.

here. OK, she has identified something. She's not moving, is she?

:13:37.:13:43.

If you look closely, it looks like she has found a gun and also some

:13:44.:13:49.

cash in there? That's what it looks like, yes. That's pretty impressive,

:13:50.:13:56.

but we have been led to believe by some intelligence previously there

:13:57.:13:59.

were drugs in this aeroplane as well, so this investigation is far

:14:00.:14:03.

from over so join us later to see what happens next. Thanks, Michelle.

:14:04.:14:06.

So clever, aren't they. As festival season begins,

:14:07.:14:09.

we'll have some tips to stop music And can you name and shame this thug

:14:10.:14:12.

who viciously attacked two But first, it's been 12 years

:14:13.:14:17.

since Emma Caldwell's body was discovered in a wooded area

:14:18.:14:29.

near Roberton in South Lanarkshire. The identity of the 27-year-old's

:14:30.:14:36.

killer remains a mystery. This morning, police and Emma's

:14:37.:14:38.

family are making a new appeal to Crimewatch Roadshow viewers

:14:39.:14:41.

to help them finally We just had a great time, we just

:14:42.:14:56.

loved each other so much. She meant an awful lot to me. It is something

:14:57.:15:00.

no mother should have to deal with, the murder of a child. For Margaret

:15:01.:15:05.

called well, the pain of losing her daughter Emma 12 years ago has been

:15:06.:15:10.

made worse by the fact that her killer has never been caught. I need

:15:11.:15:17.

this person to be found. I need him to tell me why he would take my

:15:18.:15:22.

daughter's life from her and leave the whole family feeling as they do.

:15:23.:15:30.

We miss her so much. We miss her every day. On the 4th of April 2005,

:15:31.:15:36.

shortly before 11pm, Emma left the hostel where she was living in the

:15:37.:15:41.

centre of Glasgow. She was captured on CCTV as she walked along Ingle

:15:42.:15:46.

feel Street. It was the last time she was seen alive. A month later,

:15:47.:15:57.

her body was found in woods near Tabak two, 40 miles outside the

:15:58.:15:59.

city. Going to going to Robertson was just an

:16:00.:16:12.

unbelievable experience. You just thought, how terrified must she have

:16:13.:16:19.

been, what did she go through before this? At the time of her death, Emma

:16:20.:16:26.

was involved in prostitution, and in April this year, police conducted a

:16:27.:16:32.

new search of the area. They have issued an appeal to anyone involved

:16:33.:16:39.

in prostitution at the time who may have been taken to the woods by a

:16:40.:16:43.

client to get in touch. Someone please come forward, that's all we

:16:44.:16:49.

need. If you are out there, you know this man is a danger to other women.

:16:50.:16:59.

He must be found. He must be brought to justice. He must be brought to

:17:00.:17:03.

justice for Emma. Well, I'm now joined in the studio

:17:04.:17:07.

by Detective Superintendent David Heartbreaking. You can see from the

:17:08.:17:18.

video, Emma's death has had a massive impact on her family, and

:17:19.:17:21.

the fact it has gone for 12 years now without us finding out who was

:17:22.:17:25.

responsible, we haven't been able to get any closure. We saw how

:17:26.:17:30.

desperate they are for answers. What is the investigation like for you at

:17:31.:17:35.

the moment? I have been reinvestigating the case for two

:17:36.:17:40.

years now. The last sighting of Emma was just before 11pm on the 4th of

:17:41.:17:47.

April 2005. Her body was found over a month later down in Roberton, and

:17:48.:17:52.

the investigation has been trying to establish who she met that night and

:17:53.:17:56.

who she was in contact with. We have been going back to the witnesses

:17:57.:18:00.

from the original case, re-enter viewing them, looking at more CCTV

:18:01.:18:03.

opportunities, and forensics as well. We can see a map of the area.

:18:04.:18:10.

Roberton is where she was found, it is some distance from Glasgow. It is

:18:11.:18:15.

70 miles from the city centre, and that is the crux of this

:18:16.:18:19.

investigation. How did a girl who was living in Glasgow, handed her

:18:20.:18:24.

body end up so far from the city centre? We know it was unusual for

:18:25.:18:29.

women who were involved in restitution to go that far from the

:18:30.:18:35.

city, so quite significant. It is definitely significant. We mentioned

:18:36.:18:38.

that she may well have been involved in prostitution. You will also like

:18:39.:18:43.

to hear from other people who were involved in that as well, because

:18:44.:18:47.

they may have been taken by some distance by someone as well, and

:18:48.:18:50.

they may hold the clues. That is the crux of the appeal today. I'm

:18:51.:18:54.

certain there are women out there who have been taken to that location

:18:55.:18:58.

or excessive miles outside Glasgow whilst involved in prostitution

:18:59.:19:04.

either back in 2005 or maybe still today, and my plea is, you can see

:19:05.:19:09.

the impact Emma's death has had on her family, and I would ask anybody

:19:10.:19:12.

with any information to please get in touch with us. And it is the

:19:13.:19:16.

closure the family haven't got, that is heartbreaking. You are doing

:19:17.:19:22.

everything you can, and someone out there might hold that vital piece of

:19:23.:19:24.

information, so you just urge people to get in touch with you today.

:19:25.:19:27.

Thank you very much for coming in. As David says, if you have any

:19:28.:19:31.

information that could help this Or you can contact

:19:32.:19:33.

Crimestoppers anonymously. Now, we've heard how small airfields

:19:34.:19:41.

like this one can be abused by smugglers of all kinds,

:19:42.:19:49.

including people traffickers. These criminals often operate

:19:50.:19:52.

in several countries, disappearing across borders

:19:53.:19:55.

when police get on their tail. Some try and hide out in the UK but,

:19:56.:19:57.

as we can see now, Yorkshire is no Cities like Leeds, Bradford and

:19:58.:20:14.

Wakefield attracts their fair share of foreign offenders on the run. In

:20:15.:20:20.

the last year alone, West Yorkshire Police's extradition unit has

:20:21.:20:25.

arrested around 100 fugitives. Hello! Police!

:20:26.:20:29.

All of them wanted for offences in other European countries. Other than

:20:30.:20:37.

the Metropolitan Police, we in West Yorkshire have executed more

:20:38.:20:40.

European arrest warrant stand any other force in the country. That is

:20:41.:20:44.

done on purpose to protect our communities. Today, DC Dave Lockwood

:20:45.:20:52.

is on the trial of a man wanted for human trafficking. And Iranians born

:20:53.:21:01.

British national was convicted in another lens and sentenced to 18

:21:02.:21:05.

months, but he fled to the UK. Police believe he is living in this

:21:06.:21:15.

lock of flat in Wakefield. Dave checks to see if anyone's in. Hello?

:21:16.:21:26.

Female. Can you open the door, please, love? It's the police. I can

:21:27.:21:32.

see you, you are going to have to open the door. It's the police. If

:21:33.:21:37.

you don't open the door, force will be used. Omar, I will talk to you

:21:38.:21:45.

once you open the door. OK, don't be playing silly games. Let's go into

:21:46.:21:49.

your living room and have a chat. Come on, then. What is your name?

:21:50.:21:58.

Omar Mahmoudi. The Netherlands police and Holland have issued a

:21:59.:22:02.

warrant for your arrest related to an offence that occurred on the 30th

:22:03.:22:06.

of December 2015 where they say you have driven a truck through the

:22:07.:22:09.

Netherlands with five illegal immigrant is on board. So they want

:22:10.:22:13.

you extradited to go back to the Netherlands.

:22:14.:22:29.

OK, what we'll do is, because this warrant has been issued, I can't do

:22:30.:22:36.

anything other than arrest you and put you before the court, but if you

:22:37.:22:40.

have other information, you can take that with you and show it before the

:22:41.:22:45.

court. So any medication, anything you need, any medication you want to

:22:46.:22:51.

take with you, I am going to arrest you and I will bring you. I can come

:22:52.:22:56.

on my own. No, you are coming with me. I will make that decision

:22:57.:23:00.

depending on how you act in the next five minutes. You are under arrest

:23:01.:23:07.

on a European Arrest Warrant for the offence of illegal immigration or

:23:08.:23:15.

human trafficking. I didn't do anything. I have noted your reply.

:23:16.:23:24.

I'm not happy with you. So for that reason, you are going to be

:23:25.:23:29.

handcuffed, OK? Firstly you didn't open the door, and I have asked you

:23:30.:23:32.

to keep your hands out of your pockets, and you haven't. I have

:23:33.:23:37.

never met you before, and I'm not taking a chance. Yes, we are keeping

:23:38.:23:40.

those on, I'm not happy. It's back to the police desh and,

:23:41.:23:52.

where Mahmoudi spends the night in the cells. His cases later heard at

:23:53.:23:59.

Westminster Magistrates' Court, and he has now been extradited to the

:24:00.:24:02.

Netherlands to serve his sentence. Paddy Kerr is here from

:24:03.:24:12.

the National Crime Agency. He has special responsibility

:24:13.:24:15.

for policing airfields in the North. We saw a case there

:24:16.:24:24.

of people trafficking. There are 3,500 small

:24:25.:24:26.

airfields in the UK. How on earth to you keep

:24:27.:24:28.

tabs on them all? It is not easy, but together with

:24:29.:24:34.

Border Force and our law enforcement partners, here and overseas, and

:24:35.:24:38.

more importantly with the public and private sectors, we collect, analyse

:24:39.:24:44.

and disseminate intelligence in relation to organised crime groups

:24:45.:24:48.

abusing the general aviation processes and policies. How do you

:24:49.:24:55.

guard against that threat? With 3500 airfields, just in the North of

:24:56.:25:01.

England, probably up to 500 airfields, we can't have law

:25:02.:25:05.

enforcement at every airfield, so we are reliant on the public and our

:25:06.:25:07.

partners to give us the intelligence so we can prioritise the highest

:25:08.:25:12.

threat, and as I said, through the collection and analysis of that

:25:13.:25:15.

intelligence, try to be as intelligence led as we can, and then

:25:16.:25:19.

picking and choosing the types of airfields and criminality that we

:25:20.:25:23.

are going to attack. There was a major incident at a small airfield

:25:24.:25:27.

not far from their not so long ago. There was, it has recently gone to

:25:28.:25:32.

trial, three people have been convicted in relation to that

:25:33.:25:36.

airfield. It is only 15 miles from here. There was a general aviation

:25:37.:25:44.

pilot called Andrew Wright, he had the nickname Biggles. He was

:25:45.:25:48.

responsible for bringing in 34 kilos of cocaine into North Yorkshire, and

:25:49.:25:51.

together with his associates from London they received 66 years'

:25:52.:25:59.

imprisonment. So it goes to show that the smuggling activities are

:26:00.:26:04.

real problem? Yes, the availability of aeroplanes on the access is key,

:26:05.:26:07.

but I would take the opportunity to make the appeal in relation to an

:26:08.:26:12.

investigation the National Crime Agency are conducting in relation to

:26:13.:26:16.

seven kilos of cocaine which was recovered from a briefcase within a

:26:17.:26:19.

light aircraft at Bagby airfield in October 20 15. The pilot of that

:26:20.:26:26.

aircraft was arrested, but we are seeking a gentleman by the name of

:26:27.:26:31.

Jason Stephen Waterman in his early 30s from the north London area. We

:26:32.:26:37.

believe he frequents boxing clubs and gyms in the Watford area, and

:26:38.:26:41.

the National Crime Agency would like to speak to Mr Waterman in

:26:42.:26:43.

connection with that seizure of cocaine.

:26:44.:26:47.

Any info, as Paddy says, please do get in touch using

:26:48.:26:51.

Now, if you're a music lover, you'll know that Glastonbury's

:26:52.:26:55.

about to start, and that means the beginning of this year's

:26:56.:26:58.

Live music events aren't cheap, with the average festival ticket

:26:59.:27:03.

Not surprising, then, that fraudsters want to get their hands

:27:04.:27:09.

DI Mick Dodge from City of London Police is here again.

:27:10.:27:14.

last week you were telling us about holiday fraud,

:27:15.:27:16.

And Darren Griffin is here, too, who sadly fell victim

:27:17.:27:20.

Last summer my daughter and her friend wanted to go

:27:21.:27:31.

to the Boomtown Fair - which is a big music and arts

:27:32.:27:34.

There were only three days to go, so the ticket office was sold out.

:27:35.:27:44.

My wife saw tickets being advertised on Gumtree, said it was a local

:27:45.:27:47.

seller so thought we could collect in person, thought

:27:48.:27:49.

And of course when we turned up to the festival, the tickets had been

:27:50.:28:00.

presented several times. So what did you feel when you realise that this

:28:01.:28:05.

was a scam? Just sick, I thought I knew a scam and had taken a

:28:06.:28:10.

precaution to make sure that it was valid. And so many genuine things

:28:11.:28:15.

are eating it these days. Yes, you just turn up on the event on the

:28:16.:28:23.

day. And Mick, unfortunately this is a typical experience, isn't it?

:28:24.:28:29.

Sites like Gumtree and other classifieds sites are popular places

:28:30.:28:33.

In the last three years, more than 21,000 people have

:28:34.:28:38.

reported falling victim to ticket fraudsters, losing

:28:39.:28:40.

Criminals target sold-out events. And to show the scale of this, you

:28:41.:28:50.

came up with an experiment yourselves where you set up a

:28:51.:28:53.

fraudulent website to show people how easy it would be.

:28:54.:28:56.

In April, we worked with Action Fraud and made a fake

:28:57.:29:00.

We advertised sold-out concerts like Bruno Mars or a Dell. We targeted

:29:01.:29:18.

towards areas where people lived near sell-out concerts. When people

:29:19.:29:21.

progressed through to where they were trying to buy tickets for us.

:29:22.:29:25.

And that is the point where you say, if this had been a real fraudster's

:29:26.:29:30.

website, you would have lost your money by now. Absolutely, they

:29:31.:29:33.

didn't get their tickets but they also didn't lose any money. What

:29:34.:29:38.

they did get was sand crime prevention advice to try to protect

:29:39.:29:43.

themselves. And ?300 you lost, and 1500 people could have done the

:29:44.:29:47.

same, so a lot of money if it was good advice. Where did you get the

:29:48.:30:00.

name from? It is an anagram of fraudsters. Always try to buy

:30:01.:30:04.

tickets from the official box office or reputable sellers. By their

:30:05.:30:13.

members of the industry body? Never respond to unsolicited e-mails, and

:30:14.:30:16.

never pay by direct bank transfer, you should always be using a credit

:30:17.:30:21.

card or debit card, and when you put any information into the Internet,

:30:22.:30:25.

look for the padlock in the address bar, that tells you that the

:30:26.:30:32.

transaction is secure. Great advice, thank you. You will be back later in

:30:33.:30:36.

the series with more advice, and Darren unfortunately it is too late

:30:37.:30:39.

to you, but thank you for sharing your story, you will certainly be

:30:40.:30:40.

helping other people. There's lots more advice on the

:30:41.:30:49.

Action Fraud website. Michelle, back to you.

:30:50.:30:50.

Next, Humberside Police are appealing for help finding a man

:30:51.:30:54.

who assaulted at least two other men in the seaside town of Bridlington

:30:55.:30:57.

It happened on tested in Bridlington on Sunday the 15th of December. A

:30:58.:31:19.

gentleman was assaulted at the offender walked towards the takeaway

:31:20.:31:23.

and from that incident, he crossed over the street and walked back away

:31:24.:31:30.

from the seafront. Let's talk about the first attacker, exactly what

:31:31.:31:34.

happened there. The mail was walking along the street when the offender

:31:35.:31:38.

said something. He turned around to see what he said and, with that, the

:31:39.:31:41.

offender punched him very hard to his jaw. The second incident was

:31:42.:31:49.

caught on CCTV, wasn't it? That's right, he comes out of the takeaway

:31:50.:31:52.

and head-butt the victim twice to the face extremely hard and follows

:31:53.:31:58.

him with a volley of punches knocking him unconscious onto the

:31:59.:32:02.

floor. This is a horrible attack and he suffered serious injuries. Yes,

:32:03.:32:07.

the first man suffered a broken jaw and had to have plates and stitches

:32:08.:32:13.

put inside his mouth. He cracked his elbow and had a bruising with a lot

:32:14.:32:18.

of pain. The second man was knocked unconscious and had concussion and

:32:19.:32:20.

is suffering with pain to his head and shoulders. It's just awful but

:32:21.:32:24.

thankfully you have some clear footage of the attack. Yes, the

:32:25.:32:29.

footage inside the takeaway shows the man fulfil his five foot six,

:32:30.:32:33.

light brown short hair, wearing a white shirt. There was also a lady

:32:34.:32:38.

in a red dress their outside and we would love to speak to her in

:32:39.:32:43.

relation to this incident. Is a local person or someone from outside

:32:44.:32:48.

the area? We believe he is outside the area. We've done some research

:32:49.:32:52.

and a couple of Facebook appeals and with it being a tight-knit

:32:53.:32:58.

community, we have not had the information we believed we would get

:32:59.:33:01.

so we believe that someone from out of town. You are appealing for any

:33:02.:33:07.

information today? Hopefully you can help. If you do recognise this man,

:33:08.:33:10.

please get in touch with it using the numbers on the screen. We will

:33:11.:33:14.

be standing by for your calls all day. Rav. Let's hope someone can

:33:15.:33:18.

name him. Now it's time for a look

:33:19.:33:21.

at today's Wanted Faces. He was arrested by officers

:33:22.:33:23.

from Devon and Cornwall police in connection with the supply

:33:24.:33:27.

of class A drugs. He was released on police bail,

:33:28.:33:29.

but has failed to return Domi is from Albania and it's

:33:32.:33:35.

with a sexual assault on a woman and released on bail,

:33:36.:33:41.

but he's failed to return Originally from Bangladesh,

:33:42.:33:44.

31-year-old Islam now has links to Leicester,

:33:45.:33:47.

London, Bristol and Hastings. He was jailed for three and half

:33:48.:33:51.

years for burglary and theft He's failed to stick

:33:52.:33:57.

to the conditions of his release, though, and is now wanted

:33:58.:34:02.

back in prison. He has a number of tattoos,

:34:03.:34:04.

including a Tasmanian devil on his chest and a black panther

:34:05.:34:06.

on his back. He has links to West Yorkshire,

:34:07.:34:11.

Lincolnshire and Oxfordshire. Finally, do you recognise

:34:12.:34:15.

Cecil George Courtier? Although you may know him as Thomas

:34:16.:34:18.

or George Enright, Patrick, Paul or Thomas Mullins or even John

:34:19.:34:22.

Purscell. Detectives at the Met Police

:34:23.:34:26.

would like to speak to him in connection to numerous burglaries

:34:27.:34:29.

at businesses and The 68-year-old may also be wearing

:34:30.:34:31.

glasses, as in this picture. As well as London, he has links

:34:32.:34:38.

to Devon, Salford and Manchester. If you know where any of these faces

:34:39.:34:40.

are, make sure you get in touch Earlier on, we saw how dogs searched

:34:41.:34:47.

the plane that's just landed at Sherburn airfield here in North

:34:48.:34:56.

Yorkshire. The dog identified some cash on the

:34:57.:35:06.

plane as well as a gunner. So that was the start of the

:35:07.:35:20.

investigation but we did also have some intelligence that there were

:35:21.:35:23.

traces of drugs on the plane but we didn't actually find them is, so

:35:24.:35:28.

what we think that happened? We think whilst the plane was circling,

:35:29.:35:33.

flying low, a package has been discarded somewhere on the grassy

:35:34.:35:38.

area within the airfield. Our intention is to set out to Billy to

:35:39.:35:43.

do an area search to see if he can locate a package which has been

:35:44.:35:47.

discarded. OK, let's see Billy in action. Talk be through how this

:35:48.:35:52.

will happen is it similar to what happened earlier, isn't it? She will

:35:53.:35:57.

set up from a thick start, send him on his way, and he will work on a

:35:58.:36:03.

cent, workers were into a package or anything which contains drugs, cash

:36:04.:36:08.

or a firearm so hopefully come at the end of it, we would get a

:36:09.:36:13.

result. He is watching Linda. Ready for his cue. She's about to set.

:36:14.:36:19.

That's correct. He will work the area. Limbo world cordoned off the

:36:20.:36:27.

area, but is onto something now. They cover a fair distance. They are

:36:28.:36:34.

a great asset when the art coming to open a searches. It so much less

:36:35.:36:38.

manpower intensive. Billy has found something there. He has gone

:36:39.:36:44.

somewhere else now. He's working his way back. He is doing what we call

:36:45.:36:54.

the freeze. The dog will stare and stare at the object. It looks like

:36:55.:36:59.

he has identified the package. That's exactly what he has done.

:37:00.:37:06.

Lets see exactly what did happen earlier, because the plane came over

:37:07.:37:10.

and dropped off the drugs package exactly as he said. Fantastic. A

:37:11.:37:15.

successful mission. Thank you very much. Looks like he's having a great

:37:16.:37:22.

time now. It's all one big game for them.

:37:23.:37:35.

Also be good trafficking is a big problem. It's a problem on a massive

:37:36.:37:43.

scale. It's happening in car washes, male bars and on farms. Spotting the

:37:44.:37:50.

signs of exploitation is a priority for police. On this farm near

:37:51.:37:57.

Newport in South Wales, officers rescued Daryl. A man with learning

:37:58.:38:01.

difficulties. He'd been kept as a slave for 13 years. And forced to

:38:02.:38:10.

live in appalling conditions. The man responsible, David Daniel Doran,

:38:11.:38:21.

was jailed for 4.5 years. In South Yorkshire, reported cases of

:38:22.:38:23.

exploitation rose fivefold last year. It can involve forced labour,

:38:24.:38:30.

it can involve domestic servitude, sexual exploitation. People don't

:38:31.:38:37.

know what the signs and indicators are or if they do, they may not see

:38:38.:38:40.

them because it's not happening right in front of you and it's not

:38:41.:38:44.

there on the street so it can happen to anyone. To tackle this growing

:38:45.:38:50.

problem, South Yorkshire Police as a dedicated anti-slavery unit.

:38:51.:38:56.

Detective Sergeant Nicola Leach is briefing the team for this morning

:38:57.:39:02.

's operation. Intelligence indicates hand car washes are places where

:39:03.:39:05.

people are found in exploitative situations. We are going to gather

:39:06.:39:09.

information about each identified worker via the use of safeguarding

:39:10.:39:14.

questionnaires, all workers encountered will be treated as

:39:15.:39:18.

potential victims of human trafficking and less specific

:39:19.:39:20.

intelligence or behaviour suggests otherwise. Nicola and gone ahead to

:39:21.:39:30.

the location. -- Donna. Gaining the trust of victims can often be

:39:31.:39:36.

difficult. Naturally, if you don't know anyone, and you don't know who

:39:37.:39:39.

you can turn to, then you are not naturally going to speak out and you

:39:40.:39:43.

will become dependent on the person who might be the person who is

:39:44.:39:48.

exploiting you. This isn't just a police operation. Team me to

:39:49.:39:51.

immigration officials, charity workers and interpreters. The

:39:52.:39:55.

information the police hold is nothing to suggest anyone is holding

:39:56.:40:04.

any weapons or be harmed today. At the car wash, the workers and

:40:05.:40:07.

employers are separated and interviewed. At the minute, they are

:40:08.:40:13.

talking to the three people working here too tried to do safeguarding

:40:14.:40:16.

questionnaires and make sure they are safe. The gentleman I spoke to

:40:17.:40:22.

was quite happy with the work he is getting. Is quite forthcoming with

:40:23.:40:26.

the details of what's happening, which usually indicates that things

:40:27.:40:30.

are as they should be. He has his national insurance number and is in

:40:31.:40:33.

possession of various documentation and he is happy with his conditions

:40:34.:40:40.

at the moment so it's a good result. The police are satisfied the

:40:41.:40:43.

situation at this car washes fine. But modern slavery is a real

:40:44.:40:49.

problem. When Daniel, not his real name, came to the UK from Eastern

:40:50.:40:53.

Europe, the new life he had been promised became a nightmare.

:40:54.:40:59.

TRANSLATION: When I first came to England, I slept on the floor in

:41:00.:41:02.

squalor for two months until I managed to get money together to

:41:03.:41:05.

write myself a mattress. I wasn't even eating, I would eat once a day

:41:06.:41:12.

to send money back. As well as poor living conditions, he was exploited

:41:13.:41:15.

by the boss of a car wash where he worked. My employer held onto my ID

:41:16.:41:21.

card so I could not leave. I was working seven days a week from 7am

:41:22.:41:26.

until 7pm. He would treat us like animals. I would put up with this to

:41:27.:41:33.

help my family. One guy wanted to get away and he was beaten up very

:41:34.:41:37.

badly. I stayed because of the poverty in my country. I stayed to

:41:38.:41:41.

end the money to send it back to my daughter. -- earned the money. When

:41:42.:41:46.

the police came and I spoke to them, they took me out of there. Daniel is

:41:47.:41:52.

now receiving help from charities to recover from his ordeal and move on.

:41:53.:42:00.

When you hear the word slavery, you think it's something which needs to

:42:01.:42:03.

happen and it's something in the past, but it's not. The numbers are

:42:04.:42:08.

really quite startling. And it's a huge problem. It's happening in the

:42:09.:42:14.

UK and it will be happening in South Yorkshire and that's why we're here

:42:15.:42:15.

tackle it. And if you've been affected by this

:42:16.:42:17.

issue, or you have concerns about anyone who could be a victim

:42:18.:42:21.

of modern slavery, you can call the Salvation Army's

:42:22.:42:25.

confidential helpline. Right, just time now

:42:26.:42:26.

for a look at what's been coming in on the calls,

texts and emails. You could member this CCTV from last

:42:49.:42:52.

one of those is of particular interest. They are following it up

:42:53.:42:53.

now as we speak. Please do keep those

:42:54.:42:54.

calls coming in. Now, Michelle, where

:42:55.:42:56.

will you be tomorrow? Rav, I'll be heading

:42:57.:42:58.

north to Darlington. We're going into the caves and

:42:59.:43:08.

potholes of North Yorkshire where rescue teams will be helping people

:43:09.:43:11.

have got into difficulties. I might see if I can get a flight to their

:43:12.:43:15.

full subsea you tomorrow. Absolutely. Why not?

Before we go, here's another look at this morning's Wanted Faces.

:43:21.:43:24.

If any of them look familiar, pick up the phone and tell
