Episode 9 Crimewatch Roadshow

We're on the road once again helping police to get

Can you help trace the reckless driver who caused a high speed

I can't believe that somebody could just look in to a car ,

I can't believe that somebody could just look in to a car,

see a Mother and child, and just walk away not knowing

And we'll meet the trainee police officers learning how to deal

I'll be joining these new recruits as they're put through their paces

and hopefully getting to know a few tricks of the trade myself!

Hello and welcome to Crimewatch Roadshow.

As always, we need your help to solve the crimes

The amateur historian beaten and robbed in a cemetery.

Being absolutely petrified as to what this man was going to do.

And the young man murdered on his 19th birthday.

We all just want to put a picture together so that we can grieve.

Today we're in Wakefield at West Yorkshire Police's Carr

Michelle what are you up to this time?

Good morning. This is an amazing place.

Police can learn everything here from breaking down doors

But I don't see why the police recruits should have all the fun!

I'm going to see how I match up in some of the activities

First though, we're heading to Dewsbury, just down the road

from where Michelle is today, And an appeal to find

the dangerous driver who ploughed into a family car.

It is a 40 malls and our road. This car was doing 80. I just remember

saying, my baby is in the back. My baby is in the back. Tracy and Steve

live in Jewsbury near Leeds with their two children, Justin and

Caitlin. One morning last July, they're happy family life was thrown

into turmoil. Tracy had just dropped off her son at school and stop to do

some shopping before returning home. The family live on a busy main road

between Dewsbury and Leeds. With Caitlin in the back of the car,

Tracey prepared to pull into her driveway. I pulled up outside the

house. I checked everything was clear, I had done that manoeuvre for

the last ten years. Started to reverse back onto my drive.

Suddenly, add black false flag and golf appeared. Dash cam captured its

journey as it overtook the vehicles and sped towards Tracey's car. It

smashed into the back of it where Caitlin was sitting. The impact was

so hard, Tracey's car spun around 180 degrees. Everything was going in

slow motion, spinning and bright light. The next thing I remember is

hearing my little girl screaming. She was sat in the back. As Tracey

lay slumped over the steering wheel, the driver and passenger from the

golf, walked over to the car and looked in the window. But instead of

helping the injured mum and toddler, they casually walked away. She could

have been dead and they have just walked off. They could have helped.

I pulled my hand away from my head and there was just blood everywhere.

I just remember thinking, I don't know if I am going to die now.

Passers-by saw the crash and phoned for help. I just remember saying, my

baby is in the back. My baby is in the back. Nobody had realised

Caitlin was in the back-seat. The Fire Service had to cut Tracey out

of her car and she was flown to hospital by air ambulance. If it had

been a bit further along, it have hit Caitlin full on. Tracey suffered

a six inch head wound which are needed 40 stitches. Both she and

Caitlin suffered serious bruising. Caitlin started to regress. She was

suffering from nightmares. It took a long time for her to be able to

sleep through the night without waking up and screaming. And some of

my mental symptoms are still going on today. Which I am receiving

treatment for. I just want to get on with my life. The couple desperately

want crucial witnesses to come forward with information. There was

a lot of people around, people that came to the car and have never come

forward to the police. We just wish they would come forward and help

identify the suspects because I can't believe somebody could just

look into a car at a mother and child and walk away, not knowing

whether they are alive or not. We just don't want this to happen to

anybody else. All I can ask is, if anybody has seen them, if anybody

knows who they are, please come forward.

A horrible ordeal for Tracy and her family. Inspector Kris Hughes is

with me. How are the family doing? They are recovering from a traumatic

incident, and they are keen to see a successful resolution to this

investigation. Let's remember this could have been a serious, fatal

accident. The dash cam footage, is shocking but it is unbelievable the

suspects didn't stop to see if they were OK. I have been in this job for

20 years, and the callous disregard for the mother and child. They

suffer clear injuries and they just walked off. Do we know where they

went next? They have walked away from the scene of the collision up

Leeds Road. That is the last site we have of them. If anybody is in the

vicinity of that area on the day, get in touch. There were other

people around during the incident, have they come forward? Witnesses at

the scene came forward but I'm confident there are other people we

want to speak to. There is a gentleman who was at the bus stop

who would have seen what happened. It is crucial. What about the car?

The speeding car was a black Golf and the two men inside were Asian,

one wearing white trainers, blue jeans, blue top

The other was wearing a white top with a black 'man bag'

around his shoulder, black bottoms and white trainers

We'd like to speak to anyone who may have seen this car and the people

If you can help, please do get in touch.

Next, time for our daily CCTV round-up.

And just so you know, a couple of these are pretty nasty.

Keep your eyes on this silver car. He said the occupants tried to break

into a workman's van just out of view of this camera. But the van's

owner and his friend stopped them and try to stop the theft. The

crooks managed to get away, speeding off in the Silver car. But the

workman tries to make them stop until he is thrown into the air and

left for dead on the road. The victim spent two weeks in hospital

with a fractured skull and bleed on the brain and has problems with his

hearing and memory. Police say this camera also catches the callous

crooks. Can you name them? It is the early hours on a Saturday morning

and this off-licence is the last stop to pick up some drinks. Keep

your eyes on the man being led into the shop by the woman in the black

dress. While they are paying for their drinks, the woman has a

disagreement with another guy behind her about standing in line. Having

paid, they leave, but the argument carries on and things start to get

heated. This guy, aggressively squares up to the woman and her

bloke goes for him. Dragging the guy into the back aisle, the bloke won't

stop and even his mate turns up to join in. When they have finally had

enough and decide to leave, the victim is thankfully still

conscious. But as a result of this attack, he had to have metal plates

put in his face. This footage is clear, so take a good look at them

and tell us who they are. A building site in north London. But this isn't

a workman. He is a wannabe Spiderman. Thankfully, he has

forgotten his mask and is caught on camera. It is not long before he has

found something worth the climb. That is over ?1000 worth of tools he

is passing to his mate. Without wasting any time, it he goes back

over the fence and Scapa is. Do you recognise this cheeky thief.

Here at Carr Gate police training centre, officers of all levels can

learn how to do everything from advanced driving skills

And one of things police often need to do is gain access to buildings.

I am joint by PC Carl Hoodless. You are an instructor. Talk me through

what we are going to do. Glass entry. A lot of our officers come

across stores which are tougher to get through, locks are more

sophisticated. The easier option for them is to go through a window.

Makes sense. Talk me through it. What we will do, use this bar. Need

to look through to make sure it is safe on the other side. Then you

strike the glass window with the point. If you want to have a go at

that. Whack it really hard, yes? Very hard. Wow! Just clear round the

outside, to get rid of the broken glass. Gets a lot of tension out.

OK. I am going to kneel down here, put one foot on my leg, grab the

rest of the frame, and through you go. OK. I am through. Excellent,

welcome to the team. It is good learning to do this, but I wouldn't

like to do this would the added time pressure.

Of course the hundreds of new recruits who come

to Carr Gate each year have to learn how to deal with all sorts

We spent a day with some of the latest trainees,

These new recruits can't wait to head onto the streets to protect the

citizens of West Yorkshire. But first they have to be put through

their paces to make sure they are up to the job. Each new officer has the

past three months of basic training, followed by ten weeks with their

tutors on the beat. We are lucky enough to be heavily recruiting at

the moment and that has been going on for the last 12 months. The last

financial year we recruited 500 officers. It is the same for this

year. We have 144 officers in the training school going to various

aspects of the training. It is a busy environment. The students have

spent weeks learning theory and techniques. But today, for the first

time, they will be putting it into practice and assessed on how they

handle a realistic scenario. The officers doing role-play are between

nine and ten weeks in their training, so coming to the end of

the 13 weeks. Andy and Grace are looking forward to the challenge.

What is great about this training, you are on the spot and the

role-play is very real and very live, so they try and put you under

as much pressure as possible to see how you deal with that situation. I

love it. It is great. It tests you. I do like that. We learned the

academic side in the classroom and then we come and use it in the

role-play. I do enjoy the role-play. Andy and Grace will be under the

watchful eye of PC Andy Bell. They will be sent to a disturbance, but

their officers do not know what will happen beyond that. They will have

to deal with what they are faced with.

It's we've got reports of a disturbance. Have you called police?

Why would I call the police? Calmed down a second, what's happening. The

arguing friends are just a red herring. What are you doing? The

offices are engaging with the drunk male who has entered the beer

garden, they are trying tactical communication to try and engage him

into behaving. However, he's not going to. Calmed down a bit. Wright,

last chance. Andy was taking the lead with it, if you're all getting

involved, too many cooks spoil the broth. We had our own parts to play

so I think we kept control very well. We tried leaving him on but he

wouldn't so he was arrested for drunk and disorder. They've done

what they can. He's not coming down and arrested him for drunk and

disorderly behaviour. They've handcuffed him and arrested and

cautioned him. It's one of the first times they've had to lay hands on

somebody in a training situation and they've had to use reasonable force

so the adrenaline will be flowing. Having made the arrest, the students

need to take the man to the custody Sergeant where there will be

assessed on how to explain the offence and their reasons for

detaining him. Any force used? Too much! Handcuffs. Time to find out

how they've done. He was touchy-feely and hands-on. It was

hard work. If he knocks your hat off, does it matter? It doesn't

matter. Let's not mess about with picking up hats, let's concentrate

on the threat. Reasonable feedback. We haven't done it very often so

it's about getting experience. I think it will flow a bit better and

a bit easier. It you never go into a job expecting anything, everything

is a surprise. You never get enough information, you've just got to be

ready for anything. And preparing the students for as many situations

as possible is what basic training is all about. They have a good time,

they have a hard time in terms of the amount of work but that's how it

should be, that balance. I'd like to think we've tried to be more

innovative and helping them learn so they can be the best officers they

can be. I'm not drunk and disorderly!

Some very tricky scenarios there and behind me here,

another class of recruits is being trained to use

PC Amjad Ditta who is a firearms officer with West Yorkshire Police,

When did you first get involved? I joined the police service 12 years

ago. I started off as a community support officer and then transition

to the police officer role. For seven years I've been an operational

firearms officer as well as taking on a positive action and inclusion

role. When I joined 12 years ago it wasn't seen as a career of choice as

such. What kind of approach a few putting in place to encourage more

people? We need to take the way we work into the public and get the

feedback and change. We've made it more of a personal approach. It's

about demystifying the process. Some of the experiences people have had

and why they don't want to join, it's about finding out what they are

and changing them. Has that been highlighted in recruitment figures?

Absolutely. It's a slow incremental. Underrepresented groups application

forms are about 9%. Over the last 15 months it's gone up to 25%. We want

to make it more representative of the communities out there. That's

fantastic, thank you. Right, lots more to come

this morning, including: The callous cyclist who robbed

a lone woman at a graveside. West Yorkshire Police

what's your emergency? I've just been mugged

in Bowling cemetery. And training by gaming,

the computer game that's helping police with 21st

century crime scenes. But first police urgently

need your help to trace the people responsible for the murder

of a teenager back in April. 16-year-old Karim Samms was out

with friends when he was shot in a seemingly unprovoked attack

in North Woolwich in London. I'm joined in the studio

by Detective Chief Inspector Jamie Piscopo from the Metropolitan

Police. As you say, Karim was 16 when he

died. He had strong links to the North Woolwich area, lots of friends

there and his family are devastated with what has happened. Tell us

exactly when and where the attack happened. It happened at 10:40pm on

the evening of Friday the 7th of April this year. Karim with three

friends were sat in a part area in North Woolwich in the peer parade.

It's quite a heavy residential area. They were approached by two suspects

wearing balaclavas. One of them drew out a long barrelled shotgun and

opened fire on Karim's group. Unfortunately Karim was hit and died

of his injuries. His friend who was also hit has recovered but obviously

Karim lost his life. Let's have a look at some CCTV and talk me

through what we are seeing. You can see the Nissan parking up in the car

park near Pier Parade. It stopped a couple of times and spoke to people,

clearly looking for somebody. These are the two suspects. Once they've

done the attack they've left at speed in the Nissan. That's a

crucial piece of evidence we need to identify. Let's have a look at the

vehicle. It's a metallic grey Nissan Duke. It's got quite distinctive

black alloys. We know this vehicle was stolen on the 21st of March this

year from an address in Dagenham in east London. The vehicle

registration... That was when it was stolen. When the attack took place

at a different place, these were what were on the vehicle at the

time. We know it was false plates at the time of the murder. Those plates

stayed on the vehicle until we found it two days later, burnt out in a

location called Angelica drive in east London. We are very keen to

hear from anybody who knows about this vehicle, whether they saw it on

these plates or the other plates for about two and a half week period,

any of the occupants or whether they know anything about the actual

murder itself. Thank you for joining us. If you have any information

please do get in touch. Now, cemeteries are supposed to be

quiet and reflective places. Not what this next callous

thug had in mind though, I was absolutely petrified at the

time. And still shaking. I didn't know what to do. For more than a

decade, Susan Steele has enjoyed exploring the historical sites of

her home city Bradford. I became interested in family history in

2006. I looked into my family history, and then went and became a

professional genealogists. It can take me into the libraries and the

archives of Bradford and West Yorkshire. But it can take you

anywhere, walking around, looking at cemeteries, looking at headstones.

So yes, it's what I do every day. Bowling Cemetery was just the next

on the list. Back in January, Susan visited the graveyard to take some

pictures for her local family history Society. I had been there

working down the rows of headstones, just taking a photograph of each

one. Engrossed in her work in a quiet part of the cemetery, Susan

was unaware that she was being watched. They must have seen me

beforehand and what I was doing, and waiting for the right moment.

I didn't know what was happening. The attacker punched her repeatedly.

I started screaming, being absolutely petrified to what this

man was going to do. To Susan's horror, the attacker picked up a

brick and threatened to hit her with it. At which point I stopped

screaming. Pinning her to the floor, the man rifled through Susan's

pockets and grabbed her keys. Stay here and don't move! He then went to

Susan's car and stole her handbag from the boot, containing her phone

and bank cards. But as he cycled away from the scene, he was caught

on camera. Dazed and distraught, Susan searched for someone with a

phone so she could call the police. I was obviously still shaking after

I'd rung the police. Frightened that he was going to come back, because

he had fiercely got the car keys, he could have come back for the car at

any time. I felt very vulnerable, not knowing what to do, really.

Police in Bradford are determined to find the man responsible for this

cowardly crime. This was an attack on a lone female where she was

pushed to the ground. A male attacked and we believe he's been

watching her for quite some time, and taking the opportunity to attack

her, at one point with a brick in his hand. It's quite a nasty violent

crime and we'd like to trace him. The physical injuries have now

healed, but the attack has left its emotional scars on Susan. I feel

quite frightened about what could have happened. He could have hit me

with the rock, it could have been so much worse and that's frightening. I

certainly think twice about where I'm going, I don't go anywhere on my

own that's isolated. And I haven't gone back to any cemetery since.

That was a nasty attack that's clearly left Susan shaken.

Now, in the film we saw some CCTV footage of the suspect away

Let's have another look at it, talk us through what we know.

We know the robbery happened at 11am on Wednesday the 25th of January.

You can see the suspect about 25 minutes before the robbery occurs

and he leaves immediately afterwards.

He's a white male, in his early 20s, possibly around six foot,

We believe he has on blue Nike trainers with some green on them.

He is wearing a blue hooded top pulled over his hair,

Susan's car keys, house keys and a bag containing a mobile phone and

bank cards was also stolen. And one of Susan's bank cards

was later used in a shop, wasn't it, and we have an image of the person

who used it? Yes, a few days after the attack,

on 31st Jan it was used at Mistry stores in Tong Road,

Leeds. She used the contactless facility on

several occasions. The shopkeeper confronted her and asked her why

there was repeated use of the card. She's wearing a distinctive green

coat and also she was wearing bright pink trainers. She was accompanied

by two men. You are appealing for anyone who might have seen the

suspects. This is a nasty attack and we are very keen to trace the

persons responsible. It's worth noting that if you are a victim of

any crime you can contact Victim Support.

Now, when police attend the scene of a crime,

they're often looking for physical evidence, such as fingerprints.

But these days, digital information on devices like laptops or mobiles

It can also be difficult to preserve.

But a new online training tool could soon give

It's been developed by Paddy Droman, a retired Chief Constable

We've set up this flat in the corner of our studio.

What kinds of things might be evidence here?

The universal presence of things such as this, means a crime scene

can be forever changing, even though it doesn't look like it. Online

accounts, social media and so on. And information is constantly being

processed, changed and transferred and first responders need to know

how to engage with the different devices, how to recognise them and

preserve the digital information within them. That is the online tool

we have on our desk. This is the golden hour principle every officer

works too, but at a crime scene, evidence will go quickly.

Recognising this huge growth in terms of the demand of digital

devices. We will see it in action now. We have been working with the

Police Service of Scotland, and the University in Aberdeen, we create

3-D environment, the officer can engage with. We are seeing now, they

have gone in, you have found a tablet computer on the side. It

gives instructions as to how best to preserve that. It is so vital and

not a lot of officers would know. Yes, it is a real-life scenario,

real challenges and allows the officers to make decisions and gives

feedback about the decision, right or wrong. It is experienced by

doing. This has been piloted in Scotland? 90 officers in Scotland

and officers from the British Transport Police are a third of the

way to the process at the moment and they are getting positive feedback.

And you're getting positive feel back from the older officers? The

older officers do better with the assessment level with this may be

because they are reading the instructions more carefully.

Policing never stand still. Last Wednesday's Crimewatch Roadshow

was shown over on BBC Two. As a result many of you may have

missed a really important appeal for information about the murder

of Ziggy Owusu - the brother He was on a rare night out

celebrating his 19th birthday Who thinks that going out to a

birthday party means you need to bring a knife. Take it out and be

stupid enough to think that. Ziggy Owusu grew up in east London and had

recently started an apprenticeship. But family was always the most

important thing in his life. He juggled his work alongside caring

for his mum. She is deaf and blind so she does require somebody to be

here with her and he was a massive part in helping with that. He was a

role he took on because that is who he was. I was very, very proud of

him. I always enjoyed his company. He was my best friend. He was into

rugby, like playing football, dancing, looked his PlayStation.

Having fun, whatever it was, he was up for it. He was a good person,

somebody you know you could tell things to and they cared about you,

cared about people and just somebody with a good spirit that would do

good and would be a great man. In October last year, Ziggy's friends

convinced him to go on a rare night out. It was his 19th birthday. They

headed to a bar in Ilford. It would have been packed, they were all of

Ziggy's age, 18, 19-year-old people, most people Ziggy knew, from the

East London area. It was no alcohol venue but drinks were brought in.

Although the dress code was smart, groups began to arrive wearing

Howedes and sportswear. Ziggy and his friends moved to the dance floor

but it wasn't long before things got out of control. A firework was let

off and people thought it was a gunshot. The mood settled, but

fights began to break out. Later there was a commotion and witnesses

say Ziggy stepped in. And he wasn't the kind to get angry, get into

fights, get involved in anything that could escalate to that point.

Jermaine had warned Ziggy about playing the peacemaker in the past.

We were telling him, don't do that, you will get hurt. You are the one

that ends up with the knife in your chest. I always used to tell him

that. Just don't get involved. Amongst the chaos, Ziggy was

attacked. Ziggy backed away and staggered towards the exit. CCTV

cameras outside the bark or the aftermath. About 12:40am we see most

of the people emptying out from the club. I believe that is when people

have realised what has happened to Ziggy. The knife had cut through two

major blood vessels and within minutes, Ziggy had collapsed. At

1:45am he was pronounced dead. The family got the call to say he had

bled to death. There is absolutely a million things I would have

predicted that call to be. Not one thing, not one single idea, no way,

would it be that Ziggy has been stabbed and he is dead. The actual

murder of Ziggy may have been very quick and very quiet. He has

received one stab wound and that could have been over in a split

second. This event has completely devastated his family and the local

community where Ziggy is from. We all just want to put a picture

together so we can grieve. It's not enough to lose somebody, it's just

not knowing why. Not that it makes it any better, but understanding why

lives and families are torn apart and ripped to shreds and you are

left to put everything back together without even knowing how this

happened in the first place. Now detectives still want to hear

from around 50 party goers who were at the Basement Lounge Shisha Bar

in Goodmayes in Ilford that night. In particular they would

like to speak to this person who was seen on camera

at a nearby convenience store. Police believe he may be a key

witness and urgently If you can help please call or text

the numbers on screen now. Or if you prefer you can speak

to Crimestoppers anonymously. New groups of recruits

are continually coming through the doors here at Carr Gate,

and this batch are just three weeks Instructor PC Rory

Romani is with me now. This group are learning unarmed

defensive tactics. The last 12 months in West Yorkshire we have had

1400 police officers assaulted. Police and staff as well, not just

officers. That is for officers a week, we have to make sure they are

prepared to look after themselves and members of the public. This

trail is looking at blocking for the Saturday night big punch that might

come in in town. I am going to have a go. Come forward. Nice to meet

you. Not that we look at this exchange of conversation in real

life. Nice defensive stance, boxer stands. He will start throwing some

punches in and you will block them. Put a block in yourself and then

move out of the way, Michel. It is not just about punching them, it is

about defence. How am I doing so far? What I would say, stay in on a

Saturday night. Cheers, Rory. Time now for a look

at today's Wanted Faces. Starting with Nicky Gould, who also

calls himself Nicky Sherman. The 34 year old was due to appear

at Harrow Crown Court in connection to a burglary at a house in north

London, but he didn't turn Gould has a cross tattoo

on his right forearm and links Next is 24-year-old

Joshua Rodney Lewis. Detectives investigating an attempt

to get drugs into Pentonville prison via a line over the wall believe

he may have vital information Lewis has tattoos on both arms

and links to the Islington, Haringey and Enfield

areas of London. This is Jonathan Tawse,

although he also calls Detectives in Cardiff

would like to speak to him in connection with a burglary

and attempted burglary at the homes The 28-year-old has a tattoo

of the name Katy on his back and travels extensively around

the UK, with particular links to Cardiff, Thatcham, Reading,

Uxbridge and Aberdeen. after a large quantity of class

A drugs were discovered He didn't turn up in court though

and a warrant has been Jack has connections across

Yorkshire, Cheshire and Merseyside, If you know where any of these faces

are, make sure you get in touch Rav, I've come out to

the driver training area. And this is the place where any

West Yorks police officer who drives a vehicle is put through their paces

and learns advanced I'm in the car with Dave Berry,

one of the trainers here - and you're going to test my skills

behind the wheel this morning! Why is it important for officers to

learn to drive like this? This car simulates adverse weather

conditions. Police officers have to be able to drive and react

accordingly to adverse weather, snow and ice and things. I am a novice at

this, what tips have you got for me? When you get into a skid, remove the

cause. In this case it will be steering or moving too quickly. At

the rear wheel skid, steer it into the direction to which the backend

is swinging out. Steer into the direction? OK. Let's give it a go.

Good speed. Turn. Nearly. I just felt like I was going round and

round. You did well. Maybe I need to do an advanced driving course.

Time now for a look at what's been coming

You have called in with information and a potential name which

detectives say is of interest. Michelle, where will

you be tomorrow? Rav, I'll be ending the week

in Leicester and we're talking forensics -

old and new! I'll be meeting the brilliant

scientists who investigated the death of King Richard III more

than 500 years ago - you'll probably remember

that his body was found under a city Amazingly they're using some

of those similar techniques to help They'll even be revealing what

they've found after testing my DNA! Sounds like a fascinating

way to end the week. For more details about the crimes

on today's programme, Before we go, here's another look

at this morning's wanted faces. If any of them look familiar, get

in touch and tell us where they are. We'll be back tomorrow morning,

until then, take care. Brexit means Brexit.

We did it! To pretend that it's going to be

plain sailing is such knuckle-headed lunacy.

Happy days are here. They have said one thing one day,

another thing the next day.
