14/10/2013 Crimewatch Update

You Welcome back. It has been quite a night here at Crimewatch. Hundreds

and hundreds of call, all the details in a moment. A reminder of

tonight's special Madeleine McCann appeal.

As I opened it a bit, I looked into the room. I guess I was looking at

Madeleine's bed and I couldn't make her out. It was literally at that

point, the curtains that were closed just kind of whoosh. Then I could

see that the window had been pushed right over and the shutters were up.

So I kind of knew straight away then that Madeleine had been taken.

Well, DCI Andy Redwood is heading up the special investigation team.

We've had hundreds of calls, the important thing is have we had

important calls for you. We have. We've had an overwhelming response.

We are so grateful to the public. We are fighting really hard for

Madeleine McCann and the public are joining us in that fight. I can see

your detectives sifting through the information. Can you tell me whether

or not there are specific things, even though you might not be able to

give me the detail of them that you are really interested in? We've had

a number of calls from people actually in the resort at the time,

which just really confirms to me the value of what we're doing this

evening. There are still members of our community out there who have got

key bits of information that could help us to unlock this case. These

are bits of information you're really interested in. We should

remind people of these e-fits that were released today. Just explain

who this man is. Yes, these two e-fits are the same man, not in the

public domain before. It's a chap walking down towards the sea, 10pm

and in his arms is a child who has got blonde hair, three to four years

of age, who on description looks like Madeleine McCann. It's really

important for us to get a name for this individual. I think it's really

useful to show people a map of where this man was walking, because again

it's very different from what sighting that threw the thing off

track for a while. Tell us where he was. The man is walking down towards

the sea, towards the heart of the town. This route does not appear to

be the route that we're taking as a quick escape route out of Praia da

Luz. It's interesting to us to understand who he is. There were

various sightings of what we are calling fair-haired men in and

around the apartment where the McCanns were staying. One or two men

lurking around the apartments on the day Madeleine went missing or on the

days leading up to it. If this is you and it is innocent, have the

courage to come forward. We have need to take out the innocent

sightings. That's almost as important, isn't it, people to say

I'm counting myself out. Burglaries at the time, there was a four fold

increase and charity collections, quite unusual in a holiday resort.

Yes very much so. On the day Madeleine went missing, four events

during that afternoon, in a short window of time, very close to the

apartment she was staying in. Two e-fits we've released this evening,

names please. It's all on the website. Take a close look. Over to

Matthew. Back to the shocking attempted

murder of 27-year-old Atif Ali in Luton in May.

I was just going to kneel down to rub the bumper and see if there was

damage to it. As I'm getting back up and about to turn around, I heard a

loud bang. I've had overall seven operations now on my leg. . The next

morning I was told by the door I'd lost something along the lines of 18

bags of blood. Iain Morgan is leading the case on this one. He's

back with me. What has come in tonight? We've had really

interesting information about the e-fits. We've been given a name and

a locality. I have officers looking into that. We will develop that and

see where that takes us. In the last five minutes, you've had a very

interesting call about the weapon. Yes, interesting information about a

sawn-off shot gun found in a sports bag in a county not far away,

Bedfordshire. That firearm will be sent off for testing. We showed CCTV

of the vehicles in our main programme. What information on that?

We've had some information on the vehicles. I'm trying to trace the

silver Mondeo, in the previous 24 hours to the shooting. I'm trying to

get information on the people who may have walked away from that car,

after it t it had been junked -- dumped. People who got out of that

Mondeo must have got into another car. I'm also looking for the Audi

A#. I believe the driver of that car might have vital information.

Briefly, this attack, plenty of potential witnesses. Lots of people

about, broad daylight, if people hadn't come to his side, this could

have been so much worse. hadn't come to his side, this could

have been so If you know anything, please call.

Plenty of calls on the CCTV footage we showed you. You may remember the

beardered man p responsible for thefts from a hotel in Bath. We've

had interesting calls on him, giving two possible locations. Debitives

will be -- detectives will be following those up. They really do

need a name. There you are, it's just a week

since the National Crime Agency was launched. Their very first

operation, targeted suspected users of fraudulent identity documents.

Criminals have numerous identities and they travel on one identity, get

to perhaps an international hub, change their identity again and then

travel on again. National Crime Agency, open the door! This

operation means that we can stop that identity crime and stop their

criminal activities by taking those dock uments and them -- dabbing

uments and them out of -- documents and them out of circulation. Keith

Bristow is with me again. I know it's been a busy week for you. Tell

me about fake documents and fake identities, why do they matter? What

are these people getting up to that you want them for? Serious and

organised criminals use these documents to hide their true

identity, which is an important part of their tool kit. Remember, these

are people who choose a lifestyle, all about making money out of other

people's misery. It's ease why I to think, fake documents, it all sounds

romantic and glamorous. Buff these -- but these people perpetrate what

sort of crimes? Some of the people on the screen at the moment, we need

viewers' help because we want to bring them to justice. They're drug

traffickers, involved in fraud, money laundering. These are serious

criminals and we need the public's health. Lots of faces on our

website. Thanks for joining us. Lots of calls coming in on wanted

faces, Roger Limb. We had a call today saying they'd seen him today

giving a description of the clothing he was wearing. Police will check up

on that, as we speak. Howard Deloma Blackman, a call from someone saying

he had -- they had seen him in London last week.

There we are. That is about everything for now. Details on all

of tonight's cases and lots of others are on the website. You can

press red on your remote until midnight to look at the wanted faces

and CCTV. Keep an eye on Twitter to see the latest on how your calls are

helping to crack cases. From now, from everyone on the team, thank you

very much for your calls. It keep calling, it makes a difference.
