15/12/2011 Crimewatch Update

Hello, and welcome back. I must say there have been some remarkable

calls tonight - more of what's come in very soon. First, let's remind

ourselves of the appalling case of 15-year-old Mo Bourner who has been

left severely brain damaged after an unprovoked attack in Bexhill in

East Sussex. Mo is a very well- known, popular lad, peace loving,

likes to go out, enjoy himself. He was really looking forward to going

to the beach party with his friends. The party was fun, man. I had a

good time. Oi, boy. Come over here. Mo! To then see him lying there

being kept alive, and knowing how lively he was, it seems desperately

sad. Desperately sad -, well, DCI Nick

Stone from the crime team is here. I have had a fantastic night. The

combined pieces of information we have had in have been great. We

have now over 50 pieces of information. The first one is the

same person is being consistently named as the offender. The second

thing is potentially new witnesses have come forward to both the

assault and some acts of aggression at the beach party earlier in the

evening, which is great. The final thing that's coming through is the

courage of the people coming forward. They're starting to

reflect, I think, on mum and dad and the courage and the dignity

they displayed and are going to do the right thing and tell the truth.

As you said, you'll treat any witnesses with the utmost security

and anonymity. They can be assured of that. We should also remind

people this was just a straight forward, fine, upstanding boy about

to sit his GCSEs who now has 90% brain damage because of the punch.

I can offer people that reashun, and Mo has had his future taken

away. Next, the appeal for new information to track down the

murderer of Detective Constable Jim Morrison. He was fatally stabbed

two decades ago as he tackled a bag thief in London's West End.

Put the knife down. Put the knife Whenever somebody dies or is killed

tragically like that any time of year is going to be horrendous, but

at Christmas, it just felt for me very hard because it was Christmas,

and life goes on for everybody else, but you don't really want it to.

Here, again, is Detective Chief Inspector Amanda Hargreaves. What's

come in? We have had a large amount of calls this evening despite this

being 20 years ago. Some of these calls have been very interesting

and will no doubt help the inquiry enormously. One in particular is

from a potential witness that has given us information we're

currently working on. Sounds like a really good lead. I know in recent

weeks you have had calls from the Algerian community. You're

desperate for those people to call back. Yes that community have

helped us a lot. There have been a couple of callers who left numbers.

We tried to contact them, and there has been no answer. We'd

particularly like them to call back. After all of this time, Jim and his

friends and his family desperate to actually catch the person

responsible. Please, if you do have information, call in.

We have good stuff coming in on CCTV. Let's start with the

Nottingham double bank robbery. We have had a couple of names already

suggested by viewers at home who could be, then a biker, seemingly,

unprovoked, attacked train passengers, then we showed you a

guy indecently exposing himself in Hertfordshire. We have had

promising information, I'm told by the officers. We have had a name

and location for them. We're joined by Detective Sergeant Duncan

Cameron who is investigating the unbelievable sexual assault by two

men on the same night. We have had a number of positive responses from

callers tonight. However, there have been a couple who phoned in,

haven't left details. We want them to phone back. We can guarantee

anonymity if they call us back tonight. Let's remind people of the

horror of the attack. There was plenty of CCTV. Briefly, what are

we seeing? That's correct. It's two different males that come into the

shop separately and attack her and carry out serious sexual assaults

on her. There is also importantly a person who could be a witness. This

was a woman who was in the lane that evening. Briefly? During the

first attack, this female comes into the lane, walks about halfway

down, then turns on her heels and goes back out again. We'd encourage

her to contact us. She's wearing a sort of hooded top. People might

want to take a closer look at that - with fur on it. Matthew?

Let's look at the case of 37-year- old Errol McKenzie. You'll remember

he was the man murdered in a park in East London. Mark Gower is

looking after this one. You have had really interesting calls.

have had some useful stuff coming through, really impressed by it. We

have information about the car, potential suspects, and more

importantly, a potential motive. The CCTV you've got is important.

What information is on that? It's vital. There is a particular whale

tail on one of the bicycles - someone is going to know, the user

of those. Hopefully, someone will come forward.

A reminder of the terrifying raid on a Leicestershire farmhouse in

which a load of rare, expensive shotguns were taken. I was watching

the one with the machete which was a bit frightening when I was hit in

the face with a crowbar. It horrified me to think that some of

the guns they took cube threatening some poor shopkeeper or something

like that. OK. Detective Constable Tim Smith is with me me now. How

have the calls been? We have had some good calls, especially of the

guns. Let's remind people. How much were they worth? �70,000. And the

whole of the guns in general? �150,000. Quite distinctive, hand

made guns - people would recognise them if they'd been offered them.

Two cars had been stolen too - a range Rover and a Defender. They

had personalised plates. These were taken off shortly after the robbery,

but hopefully someone has seen them. Rav, over to you. Good stuff coming

in on the faces. Let's look at number one, Mohammed moment - Tariq.

There are leads coming in from the Midlands, where we thought he might

be, the next, Nissan Note, several calls connecting him to a specific

area police are following up, anded soed so wanted for that -- Sodor

Olom wanted for that rape. There are three separate calls on him.

Thanks to everyone who got in touch. Details of all of tonight's cases
