:07:23. > :07:27.I really didn't realise anything had happened.
:07:28. > :07:38.I didn't hear any voices. I didn't hear my dogs bark, I didn't hear
:07:39. > :07:45.gunshots. It was very, very quiet. Can you tell me exactly
:07:46. > :07:54.what's happened? My dad has passed out he's covered

:08:29. > :08:33.or the loss of John purely because of his reputation,
:08:34. > :08:40.but I think forgetting John Palmer, forget who this is about,
:08:41. > :08:44.what you've got to stop and think about, or what we have to stop
:08:45. > :08:46.and think about is that there is someone out there
:08:47. > :08:48.that is prepared to do such a barbaric act.
:08:49. > :08:56.You know just to assassinate someone.
:08:57. > :09:05.A cold-blooded, brutal murder. DCI Stephen Jennings is the lead
:09:06. > :09:10.detective on the case. Are you sure this was a professional hit? If, we
:09:11. > :09:15.strongly leave it was very much professional, contract killing. What
:09:16. > :09:20.I inquiry had to do is not only identify and locate the gunmen, but
:09:21. > :09:24.identify and prosecute whoever has commissioned the crime. Why do you
:09:25. > :09:29.think he was killed? Our enquiry since June of last year has led us
:09:30. > :09:35.on to two significant lines of enquiry. John was due to stand trial
:09:36. > :09:39.for real estate fraud in mainland Spain April this year. Coupled with
:09:40. > :09:44.key crimes committed in the UK during 2015 and law enforcement
:09:45. > :09:48.intervention with organised crime and organised crime families. Those
:09:49. > :09:53.key crimes in the UK, Hatton Garden, there are rumours his death could
:09:54. > :09:57.have been linked to that. There's a lot of speculation around Hatton
:09:58. > :10:00.Gardens, it's something we are considering along with other crimes
:10:01. > :10:07.committed at the time. Is it a strong line of enquiry? One of many.
:10:08. > :10:11.What do you know about the gun that was used. We think it's similar to
:10:12. > :10:18.the one shown here, self loading revolver, smooth bore and 0.32
:10:19. > :10:26.calibre rounds were used. Where he lived is the secluded area. There
:10:27. > :10:30.are people you would like to talk to. His house is surrounded by
:10:31. > :10:34.woodland. This mail was seen by members of the public around the
:10:35. > :10:40.time John was murdered, five foot ten, White, wearing baggy clothing.
:10:41. > :10:43.We can see a map of the area he was killed, there were people today
:10:44. > :10:47.before seen digging. Other witnesses we are trying to trace, in
:10:48. > :10:52.particular two men seen around midday, 24 hours beforehand, 23rd of
:10:53. > :10:57.June. We'd like to see and identify these people. The house is right in
:10:58. > :11:02.the middle here, really secluded. There were women fought on camera
:11:03. > :11:06.that day. Remember of the public has come forward and identified a
:11:07. > :11:10.photograph. These women were seen in the background. We would like them
:11:11. > :11:14.to contact us. No suggestion they have anything to do with the case,
:11:15. > :11:19.they happened to be in the area and you would like to talk to them. They
:11:20. > :11:25.could have key evidence. There is a substantial reward on offer. The
:11:26. > :11:30.family has offered ?50,000 leading to the arrest and conviction of
:11:31. > :11:33.parties involved in this crime. As you've heard, John Palmer may have
:11:34. > :11:41.had enemies, but nobody deserves what happened to him. The gunmen and
:11:42. > :11:46.those behind it needs to be caught. You can call now on our usual
:11:47. > :11:50.number. Detectives are standing by for your calls.
:11:51. > :11:53.A round up of crime news now starting with the release
:11:54. > :11:55.of previously unseen CCTV of a shocking attack on a woman
:11:56. > :12:00.This footage shows the moment the woman was punched several times
:12:01. > :12:02.in the attack in Hanover Park in Lewisham on Friday
:12:03. > :12:08.She was left unconscious on the pavement as the attacker ran
:12:09. > :12:13.Detectives believe it's linked to two other violent attacks on lone
:12:14. > :12:17.women in the Lewisham area in December and January.
:12:18. > :12:20.In this CCTV a woman is followed home in Creekside at around 5am
:12:21. > :12:31.Just out of sight of the cameras she is grabbed and punched
:12:32. > :12:34.In the third attack on Friday 4th December another woman
:12:35. > :12:37.was grabbed and punched in the head several times in Commercial Way.
:12:38. > :12:40.Police would like to speak to this man in connection
:12:41. > :12:47.If you can help please get in touch using the numbers on screen.
:12:48. > :12:53.Police are offering a ?20 thousand reward in connection with the case.
:12:54. > :12:56.Also in London, The Met police want your help in tracking down
:12:57. > :12:59.a group responsible for a large scale disturbance on the 31st
:13:00. > :13:02.Police came under attack when they tried to break up
:13:03. > :13:08.an illegal Halloween rave on Lambeth High Street.
:13:09. > :13:10.23 officers were injured, as was a police dog
:13:11. > :13:12.as the disturbance spread over the surrounding streets
:13:13. > :13:23.Well joining me now is Commander BJ Harrington from the Met.
:13:24. > :13:31.These are ugly scenes? This is some of the most serious public disorder
:13:32. > :13:38.we have seen in years. We have had police officers attacked with
:13:39. > :13:43.bottles, bricks and a petrol bomb and a police dog attacked. And the
:13:44. > :13:47.community has been terrorised. The people who arrange these music
:13:48. > :13:51.events are putting people's lives at risk. As you see, they're prepared
:13:52. > :13:58.to use violence when we try to stop them. A big disturbance, you have
:13:59. > :14:03.made 73 arrests and you're looking to make more tonight. There are four
:14:04. > :14:07.faces we would like to identify. We will be relentless in tracking these
:14:08. > :14:09.people down and the other 45 people on our web-site who we want to
:14:10. > :14:12.identify. Thank you. If you recognise anyone
:14:13. > :14:15.in the footage then please call incredible CCTV of a bungling
:14:16. > :14:20.burglar who knocks himself out after falling through a garage
:14:21. > :14:30.roof in South Wales. Dyfed-Powys police are investigating
:14:31. > :14:32.the burglary at Panteg Garage in Llanelli which happened
:14:33. > :14:35.between 12.30 and 1am last Thursday. The man who was attempting to break
:14:36. > :14:38.in, was unconscious for around five minutes before his accomplice
:14:39. > :14:41.climbed down to see if he was ok. If you know who these men
:14:42. > :14:50.are, give us a call. Finally, we're well used to crimes
:14:51. > :14:53.being re-enacted on Crimewatch but this rare footage
:14:54. > :14:54.uncovered and preserved by the British Film Institute shows
:14:55. > :14:57.what's thought to be the world's In a forerunner to one
:14:58. > :15:08.of our 'How They Caught' films, the clip recreates the moment
:15:09. > :15:10.Liverpool fraudster Thomas Goudie Goudie was working at a bank
:15:11. > :15:14.when he stole ?170,000 Even the crooks dressed
:15:15. > :15:24.well in those days. Overall, gun crime has fallen
:15:25. > :15:27.significantly in recent years but worryingly the very latest
:15:28. > :15:31.figures show a spike in offences. Proportionally, Birmingham now has
:15:32. > :15:37.more gun violence than anywhere else in the country, so we asked
:15:38. > :15:40.Marcia Shakespeare, whose 17-year-old daughter Letisha
:15:41. > :15:56.was killed in a drive-by shooting 2003 Birmingham. The police have got
:15:57. > :16:01.used to gun crime, but nothing like this. In the early hours of this
:16:02. > :16:06.morning they were called to a shooting outside a party at a hair
:16:07. > :16:10.dresser's. The whole area had been sprayed with gun fire and they found
:16:11. > :16:14.two teenage girls shot dead and two wounded.
:16:15. > :16:36.I don't want in the incident. It has got to stop now. If you do not come
:16:37. > :16:43.forward, after this... Just watching that brings me back to the point of
:16:44. > :16:51.being in that room. And thinking about what the hell's happening. Why
:16:52. > :16:59.am I actually saying these things? Now it has been 13 years and I'm
:17:00. > :17:04.back asking the question about guns on the streets of Birmingham.
:17:05. > :17:08.In the last decade, gun crime has fallen significantly in the UK.
:17:09. > :17:13.But worryingly, latest statistics now show a rise.
:17:14. > :17:15.Here in the West Midlands there are proportionally more
:17:16. > :17:19.incidents than anywhere else in the country.
:17:20. > :17:26.Kenny Bell is head of the force's CID.
:17:27. > :17:33.So what is the situation now? We have seen in the summer time to
:17:34. > :17:37.autumn of last year a spike, specifically around the people using
:17:38. > :17:42.guns, but then discharging them as well. Which is really concerning.
:17:43. > :17:44.In the six months to January this year
:17:45. > :17:47.47 gun shots have been recorded in the West Midlands - compared
:17:48. > :18:04.of one of the recent shootings that happened in January.
:18:05. > :18:13.Just down here, it was half four in the afternoon, a lad was on a bike,
:18:14. > :18:20.got off his bike, o' took out a gun and fired it four times. It was luck
:18:21. > :18:24.not judgment that we were not dealing with four fatalities there.
:18:25. > :18:30.Ran back to his bike. Kept his gun. And he is away. So damaging, because
:18:31. > :18:38.it seems like a nice, quiet residential area. And yet gun
:18:39. > :18:44.crime's taking place. And concerning is that was at half 4 in the
:18:45. > :18:48.afternoon in daylight. That person is still outstanding and I have not
:18:49. > :18:53.recovered that gun. We are working hard to identify it and the
:18:54. > :18:57.community can help us. There is some mother, some girlfriend, some
:18:58. > :18:59.father, some brother, knows where that gun is and can help me to take
:19:00. > :19:05.that gun off the street. But why are guns
:19:06. > :19:07.being used more often? I'm meeting Darryl Laycock
:19:08. > :19:10.from Manchester. He served 12 years in prison
:19:11. > :19:16.for firearms offences, but says he's turned
:19:17. > :19:20.his life around. Like me, he now works with young
:19:21. > :19:35.people, steering them away It was widely known that I was
:19:36. > :19:43.pretty heavily involved in violence. I was shot on three occasions within
:19:44. > :19:51.four years. Seen my mate get killed in front of me. I seen it all. Did
:19:52. > :19:57.you at that point decide to leave that life? No, if anything that made
:19:58. > :20:05.we want to stay on the road more. I wanted revenge. What caused someone
:20:06. > :20:09.to shoot you? Just retaliation really, tit-for-tat from the
:20:10. > :20:16.beginning. My daughter when she was murdered, my response at that points
:20:17. > :20:21.was, I just want justice. And I didn't want justice in the sense to
:20:22. > :20:26.say, well time going to go and retaliate, I'm going to go and
:20:27. > :20:30.think, well, someone's killed my child, so you know, I'm going to
:20:31. > :20:36.kill someone else's child. When I was on the streets, I wanted the
:20:37. > :20:40.justice of the streets, but yeah, I put my family through a load of
:20:41. > :20:46.stress. A bullet went through the window of my mum's house and she was
:20:47. > :20:50.nearly hit. That was through my selfish behaviour. I have lost over
:20:51. > :20:56.30 friends and family. It is hard, but I don't think it is as hard for
:20:57. > :20:59.me as you, because you gave birth to your daughter. Every parent wants
:21:00. > :21:03.for them to outlive them. The desire to avenge and the tit
:21:04. > :21:06.for tat that Daryll talked about is something
:21:07. > :21:08.I know only too well. My daughter and her friends were
:21:09. > :21:12.caught between two warring gangs. Since her death, police have
:21:13. > :21:20.developed more tools to help them tackle gun crime, including
:21:21. > :21:33.the National Ballistics Intelligence Most of the shooting incidents we
:21:34. > :21:37.see are actually urban street gangs, or organised crime groups.
:21:38. > :21:39.Experts here are using cutting edge forensic technology to gather
:21:40. > :21:49.crucial evidence from the scene of a crime.
:21:50. > :21:51.They're able to identify the type of gun and the ammunition
:21:52. > :21:56.whether they've been used by criminals before.
:21:57. > :22:03.Mainly it is hand guns. We have seen an increase in the use of antique
:22:04. > :22:13.hands guns. If you don't have a criminal record, anyone can buy an
:22:14. > :22:19.antique firearm. This is a revolver, French, from 1873. And under UK
:22:20. > :22:29.legislation it is regarded as an antique, because the ammunition is
:22:30. > :22:34.obsolete. But the criminals can make ammunition to fit this weapon.
:22:35. > :22:37.With the work of NABIS, the picture of gun crime is clearer.
:22:38. > :22:44.But does a rise in shootings mean more guns on the streets?
:22:45. > :22:51.We are seeing firearms that are used on the streets that have never been
:22:52. > :22:54.seen before and a lot are based on this antique firearm. We have seeing
:22:55. > :22:59.some guns that are being used more than once in a crime. It shows that
:23:00. > :23:03.there are few firearms available, so people have to use these different
:23:04. > :23:09.methods to find guns. What are the police doing to stop gun crime? In
:23:10. > :23:15.the unfortunate times whaep shooting does occur, our investigations are
:23:16. > :23:19.relentless, scenes of crime, witnesses, house to house, we are
:23:20. > :23:22.doing everything we can. We are executing warrants and doing a
:23:23. > :23:28.firearms operation almost every day. But we are not just going to arrest
:23:29. > :23:37.our way out of this. It is critical to ensure that the generation of
:23:38. > :23:41.toddlers now in ten or 15 years are not that generation wanting to get
:23:42. > :23:43.involved in gangs and commit crime and feel they need to use a gun to
:23:44. > :23:49.do that. Thankfully, the level of gun crime
:23:50. > :23:51.is significantly lower now And compared to other countries,
:23:52. > :24:03.shootings are relatively rare. But I know one is enough to cause
:24:04. > :24:12.a lifetime of heartache. If you think you can help
:24:13. > :24:15.with the January shooting featured in Marcia's report full
:24:16. > :24:19.details are on the website. You can also find a special
:24:20. > :24:22.interview with the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police explaining
:24:23. > :24:25.why he wants more armed officers and his concerns over
:24:26. > :24:33.antique weapons laws. The urgent hunt for this man wanted
:24:34. > :24:54.for raping a teenager at a nature It has made a huge impact on my life
:24:55. > :24:55.and I would feel so happy to know he could never do anything like this to
:24:56. > :25:02.anyone again. But we've got wanted faces first
:25:03. > :25:04.starting with James, or Jamie Acourt who you might
:25:05. > :25:14.recognise as one of the original suspects in the Stephen
:25:15. > :25:16.Lawrence murder inquiry. old is wanted for questioning
:25:17. > :25:19.by detectives in connection with the supply of cannabis worth
:25:20. > :25:22.in excess of 4 million pounds. Police say this photo
:25:23. > :25:24.gives a better idea He has always denied involvement
:25:25. > :25:27.in the 1993 killing Acourt has links to South East
:25:28. > :25:31.London, Kent and also to Spain. Next is Tariq Javed
:25:32. > :25:35.although he is also known as Dariq. He was on trial for multiple counts
:25:36. > :25:38.of sexually abusing a child under the age of 13, but didn't hang
:25:39. > :25:41.around to be found guilty and went He's 37 and originally

:26:33. > :26:35.using the numbers on screen. We'll go through the rest
:26:36. > :26:39.of the line up a little later. Early on a Monday evening
:26:40. > :26:42.in September a teenager in Derby She thought a walk in the fresh air
:26:43. > :26:48.around the local nature Tonight, for the first time,
:26:49. > :26:53.she explains what happened next. The past few months have been hard -
:26:54. > :27:09.it's been a challenge to go out It has made a huge
:27:10. > :27:22.impact on my life. on my own, now I find it very hard
:27:23. > :27:32.to go out on my own at all. I would feel so happy to know
:27:33. > :27:36.that he could never do anything That day I had not been well,
:27:37. > :27:54.I had been sick earlier Instead I decided I would go
:27:55. > :28:11.for a walk to get some fresh air. I didn't take my dog
:28:12. > :28:14.as I would have normally, because he too wasn't well
:28:15. > :28:23.and couldn't walk very far. When I headed out for my walk
:28:24. > :28:26.at about 5.00pm it was nice weather, As I walked on the nature reserve
:28:27. > :29:01.from the entrance near the river. He made me feel
:29:02. > :29:12.a little uncomfortable. I just thought to myself,
:29:13. > :29:15."why should I be afraid?" "He's just
:29:16. > :29:17.going for a walk by To avoid walking straight past him,
:29:18. > :29:30.I walked through a gate on my right and walked round the nature
:29:31. > :29:35.reserve that way. I saw no one else until I was almost
:29:36. > :29:40.the whole way round and nearly at the gate on the opposite side
:29:41. > :29:48.of the nature reserve. And realised it was the same
:29:49. > :29:56.guy I saw earlier. Then before I could run
:29:57. > :30:14.and jump over the gate. after I've gone don't
:30:15. > :30:50.call the police. After he left I got up and found
:30:51. > :30:53.all my clothes that he'd thrown I got dressed quickly; I didn't
:30:54. > :31:00.worry that he would come back I ran the way I had walked so not
:31:01. > :31:30.to risk bumping into him again. Shortly after I wasn't too bad,
:31:31. > :31:33.I was very jumpy but I think My boyfriend said that I would shake
:31:34. > :31:55.a lot during the night. Something that really shocked me
:31:56. > :31:58.is that during the incident and in my fear I told
:31:59. > :32:01.the man I was 10 years old, would feel wrong about
:32:02. > :32:04.what he was about to do. This shows that these kinds
:32:05. > :32:12.of people do not care? These people need to
:32:13. > :32:30.be found and stopped. Such a shocking story. We are joined
:32:31. > :32:33.by DCI David Cox. This is a terrifying case, it could have
:32:34. > :32:39.happened to anyone. How is this young woman now? She's been
:32:40. > :32:44.incredibly brave. What do you know about the man who did it? The person
:32:45. > :32:50.they are looking for is a white male about six foot tall, stocky build,
:32:51. > :32:54.25-30 years old. We know he was wearing a black hooded top with
:32:55. > :33:03.white detail on it. He wore aviator glasses. At one point, the witness
:33:04. > :33:13.saw him carrying a can of energy drink, Monster. We even have his DNA
:33:14. > :33:16.but no match. The description is really, really good. And the
:33:17. > :33:22.situation with the forensic evidence is also excellent. The information
:33:23. > :33:29.is the suspect could well have been in the nature reserve anything up to
:33:30. > :33:33.an hour before. First, if there was anyone in the nature reserve on the
:33:34. > :33:35.7th of September and witnessed anybody who matched this
:33:36. > :33:39.description, please get in touch. Have a good look at the image that
:33:40. > :33:42.has been produced and if it looks like somebody you know, again,
:33:43. > :33:47.please call in. The forensic evidence except really easy to
:33:48. > :33:53.eliminate somebody who isn't involved. Please don't be scared
:33:54. > :33:58.about phoning him. It was a very secluded area, she saw very few
:33:59. > :34:01.people. How much do you know about the route, how he arrived and left.
:34:02. > :34:05.He was possibly in the nature reserve anything up to an hour
:34:06. > :34:08.before the offense took place. We know very little of his activities
:34:09. > :34:14.before. Certainly afterwards, as you can see, he exited the nature
:34:15. > :34:21.reserve towards the northern most end. As the victim said, he didn't
:34:22. > :34:26.care, didn't seem to care. You must be really concerned he could attack
:34:27. > :34:31.again. Absolutely, it's worth remembering this took place in
:34:32. > :34:35.September, it was daylight. There could have been any number of people
:34:36. > :34:38.in the nature reserve who interrupted him while he was
:34:39. > :34:44.committing this fence. A very brazen attack. Please do take another look
:34:45. > :34:48.at this image. Officers are standing by ready
:34:49. > :34:54.to take your call. Or, if you prefer you can call
:34:55. > :34:56.Crimestoppers anonymously. OK, time for our CCTV roundup now
:34:57. > :35:07.and we've got some particularly If you've been a victim of any
:35:08. > :35:13.crime, you may want to speak to victim support.
:35:14. > :35:16.OK, time for our CCTV roundup now and we've got some particularly
:35:17. > :35:25.cunning crooks this month so keep your eyes peeled.
:35:26. > :35:29.Inside a bar in Shoreditch in London. This snappily dressed man in
:35:30. > :35:33.a flat cap isn't here for a drink. It's the laptop on
:35:34. > :35:34.the floor he's after. A few nimble moves and hey presto
:35:35. > :35:37.he picks up the unsuspecting drinker's computer
:35:38. > :35:40.and just walks away. A different bar, almost seven months
:35:41. > :35:43.earlier and he's at it again. He spots what he wants and moves
:35:44. > :35:49.in swiping another laptop. He casually uses his foot and steals
:35:50. > :36:01.another computer from right under The brazen thief even
:36:02. > :36:05.hangs around at the bar , before leaving with
:36:06. > :36:16.the stolen goods. Put a stop to this laptop lifter.
:36:17. > :36:22.Now listen carefully to this one, private CCTV picks up the sound
:36:23. > :36:25.as these men break in to an 88-year-old man's home in Widnes
:36:26. > :36:34.They search through the pensioner's possessions.
:36:35. > :36:42.They take war medals, and thousands of pounds worth
:36:43. > :36:50.of other valuables leaving the victim extremely distressed.
:36:51. > :36:56.Do you recognise these lowlife thieves?
:36:57. > :37:03.November again and still in Cheshire, but this time
:37:04. > :37:05.inside a building society in Runcorn.
:37:06. > :37:11.Demanding money, he then moves to the next cashier and then
:37:12. > :37:15.the next stashing more cash than he can carry.
:37:16. > :37:22.He then walks out, calm as you like, with ?6,000 of loot.
:37:23. > :37:27.It's hard to see his face, but someone knows who this gun-wielding
:37:28. > :37:30.bank robber is. Name, please. Lunchtime outside a shop
:37:31. > :37:36.in Toxteth in Liverpool. A security guard arrives to fill
:37:37. > :37:38.the cash machine inside. Closely followed by this man,
:37:39. > :37:43.in a green hoodie and shorts. In the store, the man
:37:44. > :37:47.in shorts grabs the box, before legging it down the street
:37:48. > :37:59.with thousands of pounds in cash. It's hardly subtle. Who is this
:38:00. > :38:04.Another shop - this time a jewellers in St Ives in Cornwall.
:38:05. > :38:06.This man isn't hanging around for opening though,
:38:07. > :38:10.after smashing his way in, he picks up a rubbish bin and heads
:38:11. > :38:15.He forces open a cabinet and fills the bin with expensive jewellery.
:38:16. > :38:25.He then leaves the shop with his haul worth ?30,000.
:38:26. > :38:31.Recognise him? Swap his bracelets for handcuffs and shop him.
:38:32. > :38:33.Swap his bracelets for handcuffs and shop him.
:38:34. > :38:36.Finally, we have this fella - out shopping on a Wednesday
:38:37. > :38:42.The only problem is he doesn't want to pay for it!
:38:43. > :38:45.He asks the assistant if he can look at two expensive watches
:38:46. > :38:50.Before sitting down to try the first one on.
:38:51. > :38:57.No prizes for guessing what happens next.
:38:58. > :39:02.A quick glance at the exit and he sprints out of the shop,
:39:03. > :39:09.still wearing the two watches, worth over ?2,000 each.
:39:10. > :39:18.Cold time on this crime watch thief and name him to night. -- call time
:39:19. > :39:21.on this Crimewatch thief. You can take another look at all of
:39:22. > :39:26.tonight's faces and CCTV on the website.
:39:27. > :39:34.Let's catch up on new developments. DCI Stephen Jennings good evening.
:39:35. > :39:39.Any significant leads on John Palmer? Yes, really important
:39:40. > :39:43.information about John and his activity in Spain, Tenerife and
:39:44. > :39:46.links to organised crime in the UK. There will no doubt be some people
:39:47. > :39:51.watching this programme who don't have sympathy for what's happened to
:39:52. > :39:55.him and his family, what would you say to them? There is a really
:39:56. > :40:00.important message. Despite John's mistakes in life, it's important the
:40:01. > :40:05.public help us to tackle organised crime, crimes involving firearms.
:40:06. > :40:09.You specifically want more information about this gun. We do,
:40:10. > :40:15.the specifics, potentially a revolver, pistol. Certainly had some
:40:16. > :40:19.significant designs around that gun, so we'd like to know where it is
:40:20. > :40:22.now, we may be able to source that and identify its location. Please
:40:23. > :40:32.keep those calls coming. Still to come to night: how police
:40:33. > :40:38.caught a hit and run killer. Why ten years on she is yet to face justice.
:40:39. > :40:42.This was the most difficult case I've ever been involved with. The
:40:43. > :40:45.investigation was long, conjugated and had many twists and turns. --
:40:46. > :40:49.long, complicated. More wanted faces first starting
:40:50. > :40:55.with 54 year old Bruce Brewer, or Bill as he sometimes

:41:14. > :41:19.will have changed. He was jailed for 10 years
:41:20. > :41:22.for importing class A drugs back in 1994, but absconded from prison
:41:23. > :41:25.and is still on the run. Tyler is 50 years old and has
:41:26. > :41:30.friends and family in Essex and Greater London, but police
:41:31. > :41:33.believe he could now be abroad. Face number 7 is Genci Koburi,
:41:34. > :41:36.although you may know him He was arrested after a major

:42:22. > :42:25.cases and there are some really fantastic results, many
:42:26. > :42:27.thanks to your calls. In 2008 we featured )the horrific
:42:28. > :42:30.murder of Georgina Edmonds She'd been stabbed several times
:42:31. > :42:35.and battered to death Well after a long investigation 36
:42:36. > :42:43.year old Matthew Hamlen was last month found guilty of her murder
:42:44. > :42:47.and sentenced to 30 years in prison. He'd faced trial for the killing
:42:48. > :42:50.in 2012 but was acquitted. Detectives then found new DNA
:42:51. > :42:52.evidence which finally The court heard Mrs Edmonds had been
:42:53. > :43:10.tortured for her debit Your calls have helped put this man
:43:11. > :43:19.behind bars after we showed this footage in March last year.
:43:20. > :43:21.Hannifin was wanted for a large number of distraction burglaries
:43:22. > :43:25.at the homes of elderly victims across the South East.
:43:26. > :43:29.His victims were mostly in their 80's and 90's.
:43:30. > :43:32.You called in naming Hannifin and last month he was jailed for 15
:43:33. > :43:40.years having been charged with 31 burglaries and 1 robbery.
:43:41. > :43:44.following a spate of thefts of artefacts from museums
:43:45. > :43:47.and auction houses across the country.
:43:48. > :43:50.The gang smashed a hole in the wall of the Oriental Museum in Durham
:43:51. > :43:52.to steal over 2 million pounds worth of antiques.
:43:53. > :43:55.CCTV caught the thieves arriving at the Fitzwilliam Museum
:43:56. > :43:57.in Cambridge where over 15 million pounds of Chinese
:43:58. > :44:06.Well last week 14 members of an organised crime gang
:44:07. > :44:08.were convicted for their roles in stealing artefacts from museums
:44:09. > :44:26.This man appeared on the programme last July wanted for human
:44:27. > :44:30.trafficking offenses. You cold in with information which led to his
:44:31. > :44:34.arrest within a few hours of the show. The court heard the man, his
:44:35. > :44:37.brother and his mother kept a man enslaved for five years, taking his
:44:38. > :44:39.passport from him and keeping his wages. He was jailed for three years
:44:40. > :44:43.and three months. drug dealer Bernard Wanjiru,
:44:44. > :44:49.who was wanted back in prison after failing to stick
:44:50. > :44:50.to the conditions Well your calls led police
:44:51. > :44:54.to East London, where Wanjiru was arrested and he has now
:44:55. > :45:07.been returned to jail And we asked for help to find this
:45:08. > :45:12.man, Carl Atkins last year. He was wanted for stabbing a man in an
:45:13. > :45:17.attempted robbery in Norfolk. Well after seeing himself on Crimewatch,
:45:18. > :45:23.Atkins handed himself in and yesterday was jailed for ten years.
:45:24. > :45:27.Another great result. We couldn't do it without you.
:45:28. > :45:29.This is Thomas Sippel-Dau, he was a Computer Technician
:45:30. > :45:36.Tomorrow will mark exactly eleven years since he was mowed down
:45:37. > :45:45.And, despite the obvious severity of his injuries, the
:45:46. > :45:50.Detectives were unable to trace the person responsible,
:45:51. > :45:52.that is until they asked for your help.
:45:53. > :45:54.But a decade later, despite being convicted,
:45:55. > :46:23.the woman who killed Thomas is yet to face justice.
:46:24. > :46:32.Thomas Sippel-Dau was a German national living in London. He was an
:46:33. > :46:37.extraordinary person. He would help anyone. Some people thought he was
:46:38. > :46:42.strange when they met him. . But when you got to know him, you
:46:43. > :46:54.realised he had a heart of gold and a real softy. Tom as work as a
:46:55. > :47:08.computer technician and he finished his shift and cycled home.
:47:09. > :47:14.Thomas's head injuries were catastrophic, despite paramedics
:47:15. > :47:18.trying to revive him, he never regained consciousness. The He would
:47:19. > :47:24.have been doing everything properly along that road. I couldn't believe
:47:25. > :47:28.it. I felt devastated. And very angry actually. Because Thomas you
:47:29. > :47:39.know would not have done anything wrong. This was the most difficult
:47:40. > :47:48.case I have been involved with, the investigation was long, complicated
:47:49. > :47:52.and had many twists and turns. CCTV showed a dark car speeding from the
:47:53. > :47:58.scene seconds after Thomas was hit. It jumped a red light before making
:47:59. > :48:03.a quick get away done the Earl's Court road. Witnesses described it
:48:04. > :48:07.as a range Rover, but didn't catch the registration. Police
:48:08. > :48:12.investigating the case had their work cut out for them. Forensically
:48:13. > :48:17.we didn't recover anything from the scene. However we did find a lot of
:48:18. > :48:24.debris that we thought probably was from the vehicle that failed to
:48:25. > :48:29.stop. We realised we had got some coloured bodywork and it looked to
:48:30. > :48:33.be an unusual colour. The debris was taken to a Land Rover for
:48:34. > :48:40.inspection. That is our 50th anniversary colour. Scomblit was
:48:41. > :48:44.called Atlantic blue and only 85 cars was made in that shade and one
:48:45. > :48:52.was almost Southern think vehicle that mowed Tom is a down. This was a
:48:53. > :48:58.stroke of good fortunre. It narrowed our search down. With a price tag of
:48:59. > :49:04.?70,000 it was clear the police were hunting for a criminal with
:49:05. > :49:13.considerable means. Land Rover gave them the vehicle identity numbers of
:49:14. > :49:18.all 85 cars. I now had 85 names and addresses. Working through them was
:49:19. > :49:27.a long, slow process. Three months later only a handful had been traced
:49:28. > :49:32.and eliminated. It was hoped Crimewatch could speed up the
:49:33. > :49:38.search. One caller thought they had seen a damaged Atlantic blue range
:49:39. > :49:54.Rover a hundred miles away in the Midlands. Hey had seen v -- he had
:49:55. > :50:03.seen ra car that day. A colleague and I went United.
:50:04. > :50:05.Incredibly one caller thought they'd seen a damaged
:50:06. > :50:07.Atlantis Blue Range Rover 100 miles away in the Midlands.
:50:08. > :50:10.He'd actually seen a car like this that day in a small garage
:50:11. > :50:13.in a village outside Leicester so the day after the programme
:50:14. > :50:15.a colleague and I went up to look at the vehicle.
:50:16. > :50:19.I didn't want to get my hopes up but I was very excited.
:50:20. > :50:22.In amongst the debris recovered from the incident was
:50:23. > :50:25.Forensic examinations of the Range Rover in Leicester
:50:26. > :50:29.This proved beyond all doubt that this vehicle had been
:50:30. > :50:31.at the scene and was almost certainly the vehicle
:50:32. > :50:34.Someone had tried to have its identity destroyed.
:50:35. > :50:36.They failed and police were able to track the car back
:50:37. > :50:45.A woman by the name of Natela Galogre.
:50:46. > :50:47.She was a multi- millionairess with connections within the Georgian
:50:48. > :50:51.She certainly knew a number of very wealthy Russian oligarchs and moved
:50:52. > :50:54.But when police went to question her, she'd vanished.
:50:55. > :50:56.However, they soon discovered where she'd been the night
:50:57. > :51:01.We were able to prove that she'd attended a function at the House
:51:02. > :51:04.of Lords on the night of the collision and in fact
:51:05. > :51:11.we were able to obtain pictures that showed her drinking at that event.
:51:12. > :51:13.Natela left the House of Lords early at 9 o'clock.
:51:14. > :51:22.Minutes after that, she was spotted by a neighbour parking up
:51:23. > :51:31.Significantly, he noticed damage to the Range Rover.
:51:32. > :51:33.The evidence was stacking up against her, and she aroused even
:51:34. > :51:44.further suspicion when detectives discovered that she'd fled
:51:45. > :51:46.to her mother's home in Moscow, where as a Russian citizen
:51:47. > :51:52.To know that we had the owner of the vehicle that had killed
