:03:19. > :03:29.Tonight, the traffic cops and Hertfordshire come face-to-face-
:03:29. > :03:31.
:03:31. > :03:35.Don't get in my face, else I'll get- Deal with a shoplifter that's
:03:35. > :03:37.Just confirm it's the one that I've got with me now.
:03:37. > :03:40.A late-night reveller who's in the doghouse...
:03:40. > :03:43.'We've got it on video'.
:03:43. > :03:45.And a gruesome dog mauling incident in Luton town centre.
:03:45. > :03:48.You just don't know what a dog's going to do.
:03:48. > :03:50.In the wrong situation those dogs could be really dangerous,
:03:50. > :04:00.and they would just attack anybody.
:04:00. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :04:22.It's a late summer's afternoon Luton in Bedfordshire,
:04:22. > :04:30.and there are binge drinkers out in force in the town centre.
:04:30. > :04:35.Operators in the CCTV control centre are watching their every move.
:04:35. > :04:40.Trouble has erupted.
:04:40. > :04:46.A man is being viciously attacked directly beneath one of the cameras.
:04:46. > :04:49.Unusually, the nearest available cops
:04:49. > :04:54.are Shona Gillen and Ian Leeson. Traffic cops.
:04:54. > :04:59.Just got an IC. One female, white top, black leggings,
:04:59. > :05:01.who's allegedly assaulted someone else next to the White House pub.
:05:01. > :05:06.Possibly a robbery. She may have taken some money from him.
:05:06. > :05:09.We can tell by CCTV there was a male lying on the floor
:05:10. > :05:11.who was being hit and kicked by a female
:05:11. > :05:14.and he seemed to be unconscious on the floor.
:05:14. > :05:18.This was in Luton town centre, mid-afternoon,
:05:18. > :05:21.and there were no available Luton units.
:05:21. > :05:26.In Luton, that's unheard of.
:05:26. > :05:30.If it is a robbery, it's strange that the girl hasn't actually left yet.
:05:30. > :05:33.She's still sitting there on the wall.
:05:33. > :05:38.Normally, if you got a robbery offender, they won't hang around.
:05:38. > :05:41.They'll commit the robbery and try to get out of the town centre as quickly as possible.
:05:41. > :05:44.But not this one. She's decided to go and do some shopping instead.
:05:44. > :05:47.I hate arresting drunk girls.
:05:47. > :05:49.They are worse than men half the time.
:05:49. > :05:53.Snappy dogs? No, they don't run near the walls, apparently.
:05:53. > :05:58.Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
:05:58. > :06:00.she's in that shop.
:06:00. > :06:04.An ambulance has come for the injured man
:06:04. > :06:07.while Ian and Shona are going after his attacker.
:06:07. > :06:10.If they're your dogs, keep hold of them.
:06:10. > :06:13.Seeing somebody matching the description swigging a can of lager.
:06:13. > :06:16.Are you having a laugh? She's going to be cuffed.
:06:16. > :06:18.Let me just put these on you. What are you doing?
:06:19. > :06:21.We need to chat to you first.
:06:21. > :06:24.We'll have a chat with you back at the traffic car.
:06:24. > :06:26.For the moment, she isn't being arrested.
:06:26. > :06:28.It's better if you can speak to her quietly
:06:29. > :06:31.rather than going in there saying, "I'm arresting you for assault",
:06:32. > :06:35.when you don't know the nature of the injuries or the full circumstances of what has gone on,
:06:35. > :06:39.that conversation never arose.
:06:39. > :06:43.It just went wrong very quickly.
:06:43. > :06:46.This is the girl. I know how she gets, yeah?
:06:46. > :06:49.How do you get the other one on the lead? I'm actually her, you know.
:06:49. > :06:52.She doesn't... She needs me. It's for her. He's good.
:06:52. > :06:55.The girl's got company, her two dogs,
:06:55. > :06:58.and it seems, an assortment of friends.
:06:58. > :07:01.I'll go speak to them in a minute.
:07:01. > :07:04.Can you come to the centre? We need a dog lead.
:07:04. > :07:08.Come on. I ain't going. Nope. Twins, look. Twins.
:07:08. > :07:11.Sooner rather than later would be great. OK.
:07:11. > :07:15.The girl's called Joanne. Her dogs, Minnie and Vinnie.
:07:15. > :07:17.'She was OK when we were at the shop.
:07:18. > :07:19.'Come out of the shop, a bit verbal, but she wasn't a handful.
:07:20. > :07:21.'She wasn't an issue.'
:07:21. > :07:24.My boyfriend attacked me, yeah?
:07:24. > :07:27.Joanne's claiming the altercation was with her boyfriend.
:07:27. > :07:31.The only issue I had was the fact that we had two dogs
:07:31. > :07:36.that were her property and anybody's property has to go with them.
:07:36. > :07:39.More of the girl's drinking partners have appeared from nowhere.
:07:39. > :07:42.Look, we'll look after your dogs...
:07:42. > :07:44.Can you move away from me, please?
:07:44. > :07:46.Is she getting arrested for being a mongrel?
:07:46. > :07:48.Let me go. Get in the car.
:07:48. > :07:50.Now there's another problem.
:07:50. > :07:53.What are they doing in our car? j
:07:53. > :07:57.It was like a scene from Benny Hill.
:07:58. > :08:01.It was just a comedy sketch, because you were dealing with one thing,
:08:01. > :08:04.and then something very random was happening,
:08:04. > :08:06.and I was dealing with three people, and the next thing I know,
:08:06. > :08:09.the door's open to the traffic car,
:08:09. > :08:13.and the two dogs are jumping around- in the traffic car.
:08:13. > :08:20.No. You're not taking my... Let go.- You're not taking my...
:08:20. > :08:24.Things are going from bad to worse.
:08:24. > :08:28.Ian and I had to get the dogs out of the car.
:08:28. > :08:30.Next thing you know, BLEEP is opening the passenger door
:08:30. > :08:34.and letting Joanne out.
:08:34. > :08:37.No! No! Get in the traffic car, don't mess about.
:08:37. > :08:42.You need to go away.
:08:42. > :08:45.'By the bus stop outside The Galaxy...'
:08:45. > :08:47.INDISTINGUISHABLE CHATTERING
:08:48. > :08:50.Move the dog away then! Can you grab hold of him?
:08:50. > :08:54.You, I've just about had enough of.
:08:54. > :08:58.The dogs aren't going anywhere. They'll come with you.
:08:58. > :09:02.Just chill out. No, you're going that way.
:09:02. > :09:07.'There's two offices with five people, six people,
:09:07. > :09:10.'all drunk, all trying to get across their frustrations
:09:10. > :09:12.'and their anger, and there's just too much going on.
:09:12. > :09:16.'You're asking for another unit and they're not turning up.'
:09:16. > :09:20.Move. You do that, and I swear... Move away from me!
:09:20. > :09:23.Get the hell away from me!
:09:23. > :09:25.Oh, my God... That's assault, that is.
:09:25. > :09:27.I told you to move away!
:09:27. > :09:31.When we feel threatened, we have a right to lay hands on people,
:09:31. > :09:33.and on this occasion, about eight, nine minutes
:09:33. > :09:37.into the whole incident, this girl is still getting into my face,
:09:38. > :09:45.so my only other option now was to give her a double-handed push away.
:09:45. > :09:47.Unfortunately, it does look rather strong,
:09:47. > :09:50.but it's only because height on height and weight on weight,
:09:50. > :09:59.she just tumbled over, and the fact- that she'd had alcohol as well.
:09:59. > :10:02.It was just a very difficult, very stressful situation to be in.
:10:02. > :10:07.And now, the prisoner's escaping again.
:10:07. > :10:14.Where are my dogs? Oh, Jesus Christ!
:10:14. > :10:19.Reinforcements are still on their way to help Ian and Shona.
:10:19. > :10:24.Fortunately, someone from a nearby club has offered a hand.
:10:24. > :10:27.The doorman came over and stood by the side of the traffic car
:10:27. > :10:30.just to stop anybody else from opening the car
:10:30. > :10:34.and getting Joanna out, which freed- Ian to come and give me a hand.
:10:34. > :10:36.Now you've got me in front of you.
:10:36. > :10:38.You want to start on a girl, start on me.
:10:38. > :10:42.Walk away. Walk away.
:10:42. > :10:45.We had members of the public crowding round,
:10:45. > :10:49.we're been videoed, members of the public were getting involved.
:10:49. > :10:55.You're asking for another unit and they're not turning up.
:10:55. > :10:57.Swearing at me and calling me a BLEEPwhore
:10:57. > :11:01.is bang out of order, sweetheart, so you can't stay there.
:11:01. > :11:05.Joanne's friend is being arrested.
:11:05. > :11:07.I was stressed and scared that either myself or Leeson
:11:07. > :11:11.or even both of us had the potential to get injured,
:11:11. > :11:16.especially with the guy with the stripy top on is a boxer.
:11:16. > :11:21.You realise just how vulnerable,
:11:21. > :11:24.even as police officers, you are in that situation.
:11:24. > :11:30.At last, backup has arrived. I was really pleased that they were there.
:11:30. > :11:34.We could actually just start to work out what had gone on,
:11:34. > :11:39.and start arresting the people that needed to be arrested.
:11:39. > :11:43.Get yourself in the car. Do you know what?
:11:43. > :11:47.RADIO TRAFFIC
:11:47. > :11:51.Where are you going? Because you are not going to do that.
:11:51. > :11:54.Which way's home? Start going then. Yeah, I'm going.
:11:54. > :11:56.That is my dog.
:11:56. > :12:00.SHE HONKS THE HORN
:12:00. > :12:04.That's my dog. All right, I hit my boyfriend, so what?
:12:04. > :12:08.I get beaten and raped by him every day. Where are you lot, yeah?
:12:08. > :12:11.That is my dog. Don't do this to me, please. What is the charge?
:12:11. > :12:15.What am I nicked for? What? Slapping my boyfriend.
:12:15. > :12:24.At the moment, we haven't even got round to who he is, and what's gone on.
:12:24. > :12:31.It's what my counsellor told me to do, stick up for myself, and I did.
:12:31. > :12:36.The worst thing about all of that, for me, is that while we were...
:12:37. > :12:40...dealing with those people, we know someone's been injured,
:12:40. > :12:42.and we didn't know how serious the injuries were,
:12:42. > :12:45.if he wanted to make a complaint,
:12:45. > :12:47.if he didn't want to make a complaint.
:12:47. > :12:49.He could've just been a member of the public
:12:49. > :12:51.that had been robbed and beaten up.
:12:51. > :12:54.Are these involved? Can we get rid of them?
:12:54. > :12:56.None of them are involved in the assault.
:12:56. > :12:59.I mean, all they are, are just being loopholes.
:12:59. > :13:01.But she needs to come in for public- order, the rest can go.
:13:01. > :13:04.What about the guy, you've got someone in the back?
:13:04. > :13:07.That's the girl that is responsible for some assault.
:13:07. > :13:09.It's sad really, because going back even three or four years ago
:13:09. > :13:12.we had the numbers in response policing,
:13:12. > :13:15.that incidents like this, traffic w
:13:16. > :13:21.but if you went down there and an officer needs assistance,
:13:21. > :13:24.or the system can clearly see that officers are struggling,
:13:24. > :13:27.backup was only ever a minute, two minutes away.
:13:27. > :13:30.At a boy. DOG YELPS
:13:30. > :13:33.The problem now is what to do with Minnie and Vinnie.
:13:33. > :13:35.we need to sort your dogs out.
:13:35. > :13:37.We can't just hand them over to anybody, can we?
:13:37. > :13:40.The Staffies were stressed because of the situation,
:13:41. > :13:44.and the fact that Joanna was winding them up,
:13:44. > :13:47.and trying to get them to come to her, and they couldn't.
:13:47. > :13:51.He's a rubbish boy.
:13:51. > :13:55.Shut up, Minnie, you're not even my dog! Get back in there, love.
:13:55. > :13:59.If they present me a danger, I'm going to shoot them. What?
:13:59. > :14:03.If they present a danger, I'll get them shot, so be quiet.
:14:03. > :14:08.In the wrong situation, those dogs could be really, really dangerous.
:14:08. > :14:11.And they would just attack anybody.- I'll walk away.
:14:11. > :14:14.all right? What for?
:14:14. > :14:16.Trying to let her out of the vehicle earlier.
:14:16. > :14:19.So I'm going to caution you, you don't have to say anything...
:14:19. > :14:24.She was arrested at 20.35. Basically...
:14:24. > :14:29.She was given a public order warning. No, you can take all that.
:14:29. > :14:31.The man in pink has been arrested well
:14:31. > :14:34.for opening the door of the police car.
:14:34. > :14:40.All of a sudden, it appears Luton isn't so short of police after all.
:14:40. > :14:43.Armed cops and canines have shown up.
:14:43. > :14:47.What are we going to do with her two dogs? Whose dogs?Her dogs.
:14:47. > :14:49.DOG BARKS
:14:49. > :14:52.That's the issue. That's why we would have gone otherwise.
:14:52. > :14:55.Why's there dogs here? He said he's going to shoot my dogs!
:14:55. > :14:59.Nobody is going to shoot your dogs.- No-one's going to shoot your dogs.
:14:59. > :15:02.There's dogs here. I can hear the dogs.
:15:02. > :15:06.He said he was going to shoot my dogs. Listen.
:15:06. > :15:09.I can hear police dogs. Why? All I done was slap my boyfriend.
:15:09. > :15:11.Who's looking after the dogs? The sergeant, apparently.
:15:12. > :15:14.I slapped my boyfriend.
:15:14. > :15:16.The slapper is going to the police station
:15:16. > :15:20.to be charged with a bit more than just giving someone a slap.
:15:20. > :15:22.It turned out that the offender's boyfriend,
:15:23. > :15:26.or ex-boyfriend, as he seemed to be at the time was lying on the floor.
:15:27. > :15:30.The two dogs are mauling the side of his face.
:15:30. > :15:32.I think they had hold of his ears,
:15:32. > :15:35.and the side of his face, and just mauling on it.
:15:35. > :15:38.She has obviously been captured kicking him
:15:38. > :15:41.whilst this is taking place on the floor.
:15:41. > :15:47.Then walks away slightly.
:15:47. > :15:49.Then comes back, kicks him again.
:15:49. > :15:54.The dogs continue to obviously go in again, and bite him gain.
:15:54. > :15:56.During that whole incident,
:15:56. > :16:00.some money's fallen out of his pocket, and rather callously,
:16:00. > :16:04.she's just decided, "Well, actually, I'll have that."
:16:04. > :16:08.Walk away as though nothing's happened.
:16:08. > :16:12.Sat down on a wall, continued her afternoon of drinking
:16:12. > :16:14.and chatting with her friends.
:16:14. > :16:19.It's the new status symbol for people to have dogs,
:16:19. > :16:21.and it seems to be the bigger,
:16:21. > :16:25.or traditionally more aggressive dogs are the preferred choice.
:16:25. > :16:28.You think to yourself, these dogs are quite young,
:16:28. > :16:31.and they've already got this mentality that they're quite happy
:16:31. > :16:34.to maul on the side of somebody's face at the age that they are.
:16:34. > :16:38.it could have been
:16:38. > :16:46.a very, very serious assault.
:16:46. > :16:49.In Stevenage, in neighbouring Hertfordshire,
:16:49. > :16:53.they've also embraced CCTV camera technology.
:16:53. > :16:56.Theirs is even hooked up to the local shops.
:16:57. > :17:02.Mothercare have reported that they've been hit by shoplifters.
:17:02. > :17:06.Before police can get there, they've made off in a car,
:17:06. > :17:13.but they haven't escaped the watchful eye of the CCTV operator.
:17:13. > :17:23.Traffic cops Nathan Catley and Jim Norton happened to be nearby.
:17:23. > :17:27.
:17:27. > :17:29.Whisky seven, what you got?
:17:29. > :17:32.W
:17:32. > :17:37.and across the local radio channel came the report of a blue Astra
:17:37. > :17:39.that had been involved in a shoplifting
:17:39. > :17:41.in Mothercare in the town centre.
:17:41. > :17:43.We're going to head towards Lytton Way.
:17:43. > :17:46.Local cops in a Panda have heard the operator's call as well,
:17:46. > :17:49.and have already got the suspect car in their sights.
:17:49. > :17:53.RADIO OPERATOR: Vehicle is now at St George's Way, heading back the other way.
:17:53. > :17:56.As in Big Brother, CCTV cameras are dotted
:17:56. > :18:00.everywhere around Stevenage, all with pan, tilt and zoom lenses.
:18:00. > :18:03.Hiding from them won't be easy.
:18:03. > :18:05.Have you got an RO for that, we'll run it through,
:18:05. > :18:08.and we'll try and make it out?
:18:08. > :18:11.The RO is the registered owner. If they can find out who he is,
:18:11. > :18:16.they might get an idea where he's heading for.
:18:16. > :18:19.It was looking like it was going to have turned left onto Fairlands
:18:19. > :18:21.or St George's in that lane.
:18:21. > :18:23.All the signs are the car
:18:23. > :18:27.and the occupants are going to make a run for it.
:18:27. > :18:29.Vehicle's going to stop.
:18:29. > :18:32.And they have. Whisky seven is coming down now.
:18:32. > :18:35.Um, we're going to going up Six Hills Way to try and cut them off.
:18:35. > :18:38.Can we go to interrupt one, please.
:18:38. > :18:44.He's going right onto Broadwater Crescent.
:18:44. > :18:49.The shoplifters have abandoned their car and are out on foot. Decamped.
:18:49. > :18:54.But even off road, there's no escaping Big Brother.
:18:54. > :18:59.'The passenger decamped and was on foot. The officer was behind the vehicle.
:18:59. > :19:04.'She was then chasing this male on foot.'
:19:04. > :19:13.Spin, spin, spin, spin.
:19:13. > :19:17.The man with the swag is heading for the backstreets of town.
:19:17. > :19:20.'Broadwater Crescent is a housing estate. It's full of cul-de-sacs.
:19:20. > :19:23.'It's just a rat run, basically.'
:19:23. > :19:28.On Bedwell Crescent now, going down the side path.
:19:28. > :19:31.'We've pulled up at a junction.
:19:31. > :19:34.'One of the guys has come through at one of the back alleys
:19:34. > :19:39.'through the garage block. And Lou was chasing after him.'
:19:39. > :19:43.The man's shopping spree is about to come to an end.
:19:43. > :19:53.Jim's leapt out of the car, and they've more or less grabbed him at the same time.
:19:53. > :19:56.
:19:56. > :20:00.More cops are still after his mate,- who was driving.
:20:00. > :20:03.Driver has actually made off in the direction of Mayfield.
:20:03. > :20:06.'He was a rather dishevelled, unkempt kind of chap.'
:20:06. > :20:13.Sweating profusely.
:20:13. > :20:17.All right, mate, what have you go on you? No pins?
:20:18. > :20:20.No, I've got pipes in that pocket. Pipes in that pocket, yeah?
:20:20. > :20:23.Any gear on you at all, mate?
:20:23. > :20:25.The man's a drug addict who's more likely to have been stealing
:20:25. > :20:30.from Mothercare to feed his habit than stocking up on baby things.
:20:30. > :20:34.Nobody else got out the car, then? No. Have you got a bag, mate?
:20:34. > :20:36.Got some crack here, mate.
:20:36. > :20:39.Brown. Brown, is it? A bit of brown?
:20:39. > :20:46.We recovered from his packet a small wrap and a plastic bag.
:20:46. > :20:49.'He basically said it was brown, which is street terminology for heroin.'
:20:49. > :20:50.The brown substance is going to be bagged up
:20:50. > :20:53.for examination at the laboratory.
:20:53. > :20:56.Have you got a description of the driver for us? No, not really.
:20:56. > :21:00.What's in the shoplifter's swag bag- is about to be revealed.
:21:00. > :21:03.'Rather expensive baby monitor.'
:21:03. > :21:07.I know it's expensive because I had to buy one!
:21:07. > :21:11.'And although it's worth �100 or so- to Mothercare,
:21:11. > :21:14.'probably stick that on eBay or take it to Cash Converters
:21:14. > :21:17.'and get �20 for it at the most, I would think.'
:21:17. > :21:20.OK, you're under arrest on suspicion of theft from shop
:21:20. > :21:22.and also for possession of Class A drugs.
:21:22. > :21:25.You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
:21:25. > :21:29.if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Understand?
:21:29. > :21:32.OK. How much gear have you had today?
:21:32. > :21:36.Cos you're sweating quite profusely. Just been running, mate.
:21:36. > :21:38.No, no, no, but I know you've been running,
:21:38. > :21:40.just so we know for your welfare needs, yeah?
:21:40. > :21:43.The man is a regular shoplifter,
:21:43. > :21:46.as the Co-op in town have also recently found out.
:21:46. > :21:48.'Unfortunately for him, he hasn't got a job,
:21:48. > :21:51.'so he can't feed his habit that way.
:21:51. > :21:53.'So he has to go out stealing,
:21:53. > :21:56.'and that's the way for a lot of drug users.
:21:56. > :21:58.'It's what we call acquisitive crime.
:21:58. > :22:00.'They're just acquiring things'
:22:01. > :22:04.to sell to then feed their drug habit.
:22:04. > :22:07.I had such a good pick-up on CCTV. Very good, yeah.
:22:07. > :22:10.Moved in in just the right place. Superb.
:22:10. > :22:14.'Initially, they were seen on CCTV in the store, and then
:22:14. > :22:21.'the Stevenage CCTV operator had picked the car up on St George's Way.'
:22:21. > :22:31.If they hadn't have seen it, we may- not have caught the car at all.
:22:31. > :22:32.
:22:32. > :22:37.Joanne, the other person caught thanks to CCTV in Luton,
:22:37. > :22:41.has arrived at the police station, where she'll be interviewed and charged.
:22:41. > :22:44.You don't have to cuff me. I'm not a dangerous prisoner.
:22:44. > :22:47.No, but you were an angry lady when we first came across you.
:22:47. > :22:49.I'm worried about my dog, mate. Can I just do something?
:22:50. > :22:52.I'm not doing anything. I'm going to pull your top up.
:22:52. > :22:55.I don't think you want the whole world seeing your bra.
:22:55. > :22:58.I thought I had my luck in then! Pulling it down. What, me?!
:22:58. > :23:02.See the name Claire? I do like ladies. Do you?Come on, darling!
:23:02. > :23:05.Ah, you're well out of that one, then. I'll leave you two to it.
:23:05. > :23:09.Go ahead. You lost out, mate. It's always the way(!)
:23:09. > :23:11.'You know there's been a nasty assault.
:23:11. > :23:13.'You know that, the end of the day,
:23:13. > :23:17.'the dogs might end up getting destroyed for the assault itself.
:23:17. > :23:22.arrive at Luton police station,
:23:22. > :23:27.she changes into quite a jovial character.
:23:27. > :23:31.She's identified that male as being h
:23:31. > :23:34.What, and a chap on the wrists?
:23:34. > :23:37...giving him a kicking. I did not, I give him a couple slaps.
:23:37. > :23:40.A couple of slaps. The pussy. He's at the hospital at the moment.
:23:40. > :23:50.We're sending somebody up to ascertain the nature of the injuries, but we think it's ABH.
:23:50. > :23:52.
:23:52. > :23:55.I'm on about... I was going to say.
:23:55. > :23:58.At the moment, there's an allegation
:23:58. > :24:00.that his ears may have been bitten off by a dog,
:24:00. > :24:04.which we're looking into, and she's apparently kicked and slapped him.
:24:04. > :24:08.So men can beat women up but we can't give them a slap back, no?
:24:08. > :24:10.What was the advice I give you earlier?
:24:10. > :24:15.And he already come out with a bleeding face from the White House.
:24:15. > :24:18.So whatever he done in there, he got barred out of there for,
:24:18. > :24:20.it's down to him, mate, yeah, it's down to him.
:24:20. > :24:23.I give him a slap and a tickle and a punch.
:24:23. > :24:26.Joanne is as familiar with the police station
:24:26. > :24:29.as ordinary people in Luton are with their railway station.
:24:30. > :24:32.'She wanted two blankets and toilet roll,
:24:32. > :24:35.a cup of tea, cup of coffee.
:24:35. > :24:39.I need two of them. I know where the bookshelf is.
:24:39. > :24:43.Joanne, don't go running off. I'm not, I know exactly where to go.
:24:43. > :24:47.Where are you going? Listen, I live here, don't I?
:24:47. > :24:50.I know exactly where I'm going.
:24:50. > :24:54.Yeah, it's probably nicer than her flat, from what she was saying.
:24:54. > :24:58.And, and... No! Stick to two. A hardback, a hardback book.
:24:58. > :25:01.I'm going to be in there all night,- in't I? You got a buzzer.
:25:01. > :25:04.If you want to change your reading material, we'll sort that out.
:25:04. > :25:06.When you know a police station that well,
:25:06. > :25:08.you're obviously doing something a bit wrong in your life.
:25:08. > :25:11.With the prisoners safely locked up,
:25:11. > :25:15.Ian and Shona have got a chance to analyse what happened.
:25:15. > :25:17.It all kind of got a bit excitable.- I thought I'd go from being
:25:17. > :25:21.a traffic officer to a dog handler, why not?
:25:21. > :25:25.Lassoo, using one lead in a minute. I know! Very creative.
:25:25. > :25:29.I was quite impressed with that! That's the footage for you.
:25:29. > :25:31.Well, if you don't make it on traffic, Lucy,
:25:31. > :25:34.you can always go for the dog section, eh?
:25:34. > :25:39.Only now has Ian realised that his police issue mobile's gone missing.
:25:39. > :25:42.that my Blackberry was no longer
:25:42. > :25:47.prior to the incident taking place.
:25:47. > :25:52.I've done a full search of the car, no Blackberry located.
:25:52. > :25:55.Despite having been searched when she arrived at the police station,
:25:55. > :25:59.Ian and Shona have a pretty strong feeling that Joanne took it
:25:59. > :26:02.and where she might have hidden it.
:26:02. > :26:09.And Ian was going, "Where's my Blackberry? Can you ring it for me?"
:26:09. > :26:12.And we rang it three or four times and I said, "Is it on ring?"
:26:12. > :26:15.He went, "No, it's on vibrate."
:26:15. > :26:17.'It wasn't until the next day, during a strip search,
:26:17. > :26:22.'that the Blackberry was located down the front trousers of the offender,
:26:22. > :26:30.and the Blackberry had been in there all night.
:26:30. > :26:33.Back in Stevenage, the shoplifter caught with the brown stuff
:26:33. > :26:37.is also making an appearance at the police station.
:26:37. > :26:41.Sergeant, this afternoon a theft occurred of some items from Co-op
:26:41. > :26:46.in Stevenage. Mothercare. Mothercare, sorry.
:26:46. > :26:50.It was monitored on CCTV. The offender was seen to get into a vehicle.
:26:50. > :26:53.This vehicle was subsequently located b
:26:53. > :26:57.Stevenage, and failed to stop, resulting in a decamp.
:26:57. > :27:00.The man's accomplice has been caught as well.
:27:00. > :27:02.'
:27:02. > :27:06.'He came into the police station and he was interviewed
:27:06. > :27:11.and charged with the offence of failing to stop for police.
:27:11. > :27:14.The final procedure is to document the man's identity.
:27:14. > :27:18.'And then we hand the prisoner over to the case investigation team,
:27:18. > :27:22.'who do all the further investigation work.
:27:22. > :27:26.'They phoned us up and said, "That guy that you nicked with the heroin,
:27:26. > :27:31."it was actually a dog biscuit."
:27:31. > :27:34.'The reason why he was going out to steal was because the brown,
:27:34. > :27:39.'as he put it, was no good. He wasn't getting a hit out of it.
:27:39. > :27:45.'It could be quite bad for him, I'd have thought. He might be BARKING up the wrong tree.
:27:45. > :27:50.Nightfall, and trouble is brewing.
:27:50. > :27:53.Reports are coming in of a serious disturbance in a block of flats
:27:53. > :28:00.in a residential part of Stevenage,- and a person armed with a blade.
:28:00. > :28:04.PC Chris Payne and his sergeant, Carl McDermott, are on their way.
:28:04. > :28:10.When a job like that comes in, you know that it could turn serious.
:28:10. > :28:16.And it seems it has. An officer has pressed his panic alarm.
:28:16. > :28:20.Our radios are equipped with an emergency button.
:28:20. > :28:27.When that is pressed, it sends an audible alert over everyone's radio who's monitoring that channel.
:28:27. > :28:29.And that audible alert makes your heart stop.
:28:30. > :28:39.It is an awful sound to hear.
:28:39. > :28:42.And you hear someone's in trouble, that's it.
:28:42. > :28:45.You drop everything, you get there.
:28:45. > :28:48.Someone has been stabbed and is being rushed to hospital.
:28:48. > :28:53.The offender is on the loose.
:28:53. > :28:56.RADIO: 'Blue-and-white striped T-shirt, wearing possibly a pair of jeans.
:28:56. > :28:58.'I think he's on foot in the area.'
:28:58. > :29:00.'A local person has been named as being the offender.
:29:00. > :29:03.'That person may still have a knife on them.'
:29:03. > :29:06.Left, left, left, left.
:29:06. > :29:09.Traffic colleagues of Carl and Chris have found someone.
:29:09. > :29:12.'Frosty had detained someone just round the corner and that was
:29:13. > :29:18.'a person who matched the description of the offender we were looking for.
:29:18. > :29:22.But he isn't the knifeman.
:29:22. > :29:25.'As they've turned the corner and seen this male,
:29:25. > :29:27.'they've also seen the shadow of another male
:29:27. > :29:32.'run down the side of a house into gardens and out of their view.'
:29:32. > :29:38.Sierra 671306, I believe someone has already made off where Whisky four was, into a rear garden.
:29:38. > :29:40.The police helicopter, X-ray Alpha 9-9,
:29:40. > :29:42.has been called in to help with the manhunt.
:29:43. > :29:45.9-9 is on route. I just heard something.
:29:45. > :29:48.I don't know if it was that lot down there.
:29:48. > :29:54.More cops, some with dogs, have arrived too.
:29:54. > :29:57.Oh, yeah, you don't like dogs, do you?
:29:57. > :29:59.It's not that I don't like them,
:29:59. > :30:01.I would just prefer to be further away.
:30:01. > :30:04.Chris has good reason to be cautious.
:30:04. > :30:06.He was once a dog's dinner.
:30:06. > :30:10.I've got a lovely scar to show for that day.
:30:10. > :30:13.They hurt, they really hurt, and ever since then,
:30:13. > :30:15.I don't go anywhere near them.
:30:15. > :30:19.I'll take you to as far as we've been down here. We ain't gone that far.
:30:19. > :30:22.The chopper's overhead and already on to something.
:30:23. > :30:27.There's a big white Transit van parked up
:30:27. > :30:31.and near that van is a drain which I believe an object of some sort,
:30:31. > :30:34.possibly a knife, has been dropped down.
:30:34. > :30:38.The dog's picked up the knifeman's scent as he was garden-hopping.
:30:38. > :30:41.'She's successfully followed the scent to here.
:30:41. > :30:44.'The wall's all been broken down. Trying to work it out from here.
:30:44. > :30:47.'I'll give you a flash of the torch.
:30:47. > :30:49.'Yes, we've got you, a visual on thermal.'
:30:49. > :30:53.cuffs off you. Relax, please.
:30:53. > :31:03.The man already captured is being charged with public order offences.
:31:03. > :31:06.
:31:06. > :31:08.He was quite a big bloke and he was very, very drunk.
:31:09. > :31:11.At this point he couldn't stand up. He was getting a little bit agitated
:31:11. > :31:14.and a little aggressive with the officers.
:31:14. > :31:16.In case he was a part of what went on as well,
:31:16. > :31:19.the cops have detained another young lad they found near by.
:31:19. > :31:23.I'm going to take your picture, fella, OK? Look forward.
:31:23. > :31:26.What's this for? Stay still.
:31:26. > :31:29.Right, lovely. OK, you can go on your way.
:31:30. > :31:32.'We had no evidence to suggest that he'd been involved in anything
:31:32. > :31:34.'so he was allowed to go on his way.'
:31:34. > :31:37.But Carl has a suspicion he might be connected with the man
:31:37. > :31:40.they're searching for.
:31:40. > :31:43.of the end they made off in.
:31:43. > :31:46.'Maybe if you could keep tabs on him as best you can.
:31:46. > :31:50.'I've got my unmarked vehicle following at a distance.
:31:50. > :31:53.'Yes, we're watching him. As soon as he got past police, he was straight out on the phone,
:31:53. > :31:57.'texting, so we'll keep an eye on him for you.'
:31:57. > :32:04.'I decided I would follow just in the hope that he might lead us somewhere.
:32:04. > :32:07.Catching criminals is what police officers live for
:32:07. > :32:10.but there comes a point in all their careers
:32:10. > :32:14.when it's finally time to hang up the handcuffs.
:32:14. > :32:17.After 30 years' service, Sergeant Tony Richardson,
:32:17. > :32:21.one of Bedfordshire's finest, is retiring tonight.
:32:21. > :32:26.My last ever shift on traffic. Last ever shift in the force.
:32:27. > :32:30.He's seen quite a few changes since he started.
:32:31. > :32:33.I don't think violence in itself has changed
:32:33. > :32:37.but the way that people use that violence has changed.
:32:37. > :32:40.People picking up weapons and using and carrying weapons
:32:40. > :32:45.as a matter of course, seems to be the norm.
:32:45. > :32:47.It's all going to happen tonight.
:32:47. > :32:52.'It was quite emotional. G
:32:52. > :32:57.'Craig, bless him, wanted it to be something that I would remember
:32:57. > :33:03.and, consequently, he made it his goal to get me to every incident
:33:03. > :33:08.that was going, whether it be traffic related or not.
:33:08. > :33:10.First stop, a burglary in Luton
:33:10. > :33:15.and a chance for one last arrest for old time's sake.
:33:15. > :33:19.Just confirm there is a dog coming down, over. T
:33:19. > :33:21.Due to where we are now, you can see the fences,
:33:21. > :33:24.it's so easy to go garden-hopping.
:33:24. > :33:27.'It was a really busy night that night.
:33:27. > :33:30.'I was trying to get Tony round as many jobs as possible,
:33:30. > :33:34.varied jobs, obviously, just to let- him go away with the reminder
:33:34. > :33:38.of what he used to do. Garden hopping isn't easy for everyone.
:33:38. > :33:41.I'm going to do myself an injury!
:33:41. > :33:45.There's no sign of any burglars beating about the bushes,
:33:45. > :33:47.but they could be closer to home.
:33:47. > :33:52.What's happened is, next door, the back of that is the allotments. Y
:33:52. > :33:55.It would appear that they've gone from the allotments
:33:55. > :34:02.over to next door's garden. Yeah. Lots of noise, OK, and then nothing.
:34:02. > :34:04.So it could well be that they're actually in next door.
:34:04. > :34:08.Right, Gary's in there now. He's in- there? Gary's in the garden now.
:34:08. > :34:16.Can we go and actually look? But it's not Tony's lucky night.
:34:16. > :34:20.Someone else has found the suspected burglars. Yeah, it's that one.
:34:20. > :34:24.There's no last hurrah for Tony.
:34:24. > :34:26.The Luton burglars may have been caught
:34:26. > :34:34.but the knifeman in Stevenage seems to have disappeared.
:34:34. > :34:37.'He seems to have turned right on the end of Bridge Road,
:34:37. > :34:39.'on to Lytton Way. I then lost visuals with him under the trees.
:34:39. > :34:41.'I don't know if he's gone towards the subway.'
:34:41. > :34:44.Even the lad allowed to go on his way has vanished.
:34:44. > :34:48.'Confirm, was that the underpass under Lytton Way?'
:34:48. > :34:53.'The problem we have is that it's reported that person has got a knife
:34:53. > :34:57.'and that is someone that we cannot have out on the streets,
:34:57. > :35:01.so we need to find them and we will put all resources
:35:01. > :35:05.into finding that person as quickly as possible.
:35:05. > :35:13.Burglars are also hard at it tonight in Stevenage Town Centre.
:35:13. > :35:17.Jim and Nathan have been called to check on an office building,
:35:17. > :35:21.if they can stay awake.
:35:21. > :35:25.Oh, dear, it's not good, mate, it's not good. I'm yawning already.
:35:25. > :35:27.'Night shifts go one of two ways.
:35:27. > :35:30.'You either have absolutely nothing and you are dying of boredom
:35:30. > :35:36.'and you struggle to stay awake, or you are totally run ragged,
:35:37. > :35:43.especially if it's a full moon, and you don't get a chance to stop.
:35:43. > :35:48.With a full moon tonight, the outlook isn't good.
:35:48. > :35:51.'The first floor window, the ground-floor window is secure.
:35:51. > :35:53.'Apparently they were secure earlier on
:35:53. > :35:56.'and there's been a number of break-ins at this premises.'
:35:56. > :36:00.Intriguingly, the disused building is just the other side of the road
:36:00. > :36:05.from Stevenage's main police station.
:36:05. > :36:11.It doesn't take long for this place to get overgrown.
:36:11. > :36:14.'It was about 15 floors and literally,
:36:14. > :36:20.'it's been stripped top to bottom of all its piping, fixtures, cable.
:36:20. > :36:23.'Offenders who had been there that night had been disturbed.'
:36:23. > :36:26.We knew fairly certainly they would come back.
:36:26. > :36:29.�1 million worth of infrastructure has either been damaged or stolen.
:36:29. > :36:33.check the building as part of their routine checks
:36:33. > :36:38.and found that first floor window open up there, and a kitchen sink's been thrown out.
:36:38. > :36:40.So they phoned us straight away, suspecting that there might be people
:36:40. > :36:43.remove the metal from inside.
:36:43. > :36:47.It's a massive problem that we're dealing with,
:36:47. > :36:53.a massive problem, and thieves are going to extreme lengths.
:36:53. > :36:55.And it's not only in Stevenage.
:36:55. > :36:58.More than 1,000 metal thefts are being reported across Britain
:36:58. > :37:01.every single week.
:37:01. > :37:03.They've ripped all the tiles down,
:37:03. > :37:05.they've even hacked into the concrete.
:37:05. > :37:10.See that corridor, is absolutely...
:37:10. > :37:14.And the whole building's like that.
:37:15. > :37:24.The soaring value of scrap metal has meant that nowhere is safe from the metal thieves.
:37:24. > :37:29.Do you want us to follow you in? Yeah, all right.
:37:29. > :37:32.It would have been a nice, plush office building before.
:37:32. > :37:36.They've even cut out lumps of the supporting structure
:37:36. > :37:38.to get the copper piping.
:37:38. > :37:41.It's all encased in concrete and they've cut it out.
:37:41. > :37:44.Everything of any metal value is gone.
:37:44. > :37:47.Guys, got a door open round this side, as well.
:37:48. > :37:50.It's looking like Jim and Nathan have got there too late -
:37:50. > :37:53.the thieves have slipped away into the night.
:37:54. > :37:58.It's been call after call after call there, from their security,
:37:58. > :38:01.but of course, they only patrol it once in a blue moon.
:38:01. > :38:03.We only know about it when they get there,
:38:03. > :38:07.which is inevitably long after the thieves have gone.
:38:07. > :38:12.It is like a film set out of Day After Tomorrow or 28 Days Later.
:38:12. > :38:15.It's quite spooky.
:38:15. > :38:19.I can't believe they just left it.
:38:19. > :38:23.Saying to the bloke, if they'd have- just left the power on,
:38:23. > :38:26.then nobody would nick any cable, because all...
:38:26. > :38:28.Well, mind you, they still nick live cable, don't they?
:38:28. > :38:31.'We've had two deaths'
:38:31. > :38:36.from people trying to steal high tension cable.
:38:36. > :38:40.Bloody hell, that took a while. It's 12.20.
:38:40. > :38:42.An emergency call has just come in from Baldock,
:38:42. > :38:44.ten miles outside of Stevenage.
:38:44. > :38:46.What's going on there?
:38:47. > :38:49.It's a quiet little town,
:38:49. > :38:52.not somewhere the cops get called to very often.
:38:52. > :38:55.RADIO: You're getting closer to the side of the approach.
:38:55. > :38:59.A 15-year-old girl has been found there who had been reported missing.
:38:59. > :39:02.She'll do a runner, mate, if we go round there.
:39:02. > :39:06.RADIO: and a bright red hoodie.
:39:06. > :39:10.Yeah, and just confirm she is currently reported missing, over?
:39:10. > :39:13.'Yes, she is.' Jim has dealt with the youngster before.
:39:13. > :39:15.I met her at the train station a couple of weeks back
:39:15. > :39:18.when I was off duty, going home.
:39:18. > :39:21.She was rabbiting on like nobody's business. There she is.
:39:21. > :39:27.On a railway platform, going to another town in Hertfordshire,
:39:27. > :39:31.talking to an unknown male about prostitution and drug use.
:39:31. > :39:35.Have a quick word? Oh, my God. What are you up to again?
:39:35. > :39:38.Basically, I'm missing from my kids' home. You are.
:39:38. > :39:41.Yeah, and I'm not going back.
:39:41. > :39:43.They keep getting hold of me and I keep saying I'm safe and everything.
:39:43. > :39:45.You've got to go back.
:39:45. > :39:49.'She is actually at a placement at a Social Services care home'
:39:49. > :39:52.and that's where teenagers are placed - basically,
:39:52. > :39:55.either have been taken out of their own family environment
:39:55. > :39:59.can cope with the child's behaviour,
:39:59. > :40:02.or they're taken there because they're at risk.
:40:02. > :40:05.The home is not allowed to confine the girl
:40:05. > :40:07.and Jim cannot force her to return there.
:40:07. > :40:10.And she knows that.
:40:10. > :40:12.It's 12.30 at night. Well, I'm not going back.
:40:12. > :40:15.You've gone back before. We need to take you back. I'm not going back.
:40:15. > :40:18.Why not? Cos I'm not. Why not? Can you shush?
:40:19. > :40:23.Can you let me speak to her? He's only trying to talk. Let me speak to her. Go and stand over there.
:40:23. > :40:25.What's wrong with the home?
:40:25. > :40:27.I'm not getting along with anyone in that house at the moment.
:40:27. > :40:29.Have you spoken to staff?
:40:29. > :40:32.Yeah, I told the staff and the staff said to me,
:40:32. > :40:34."As long as you keep in contact and keep phoning
:40:34. > :40:37."and keep answering your phone, then I'm going to listen to you."
:40:37. > :40:40.I've been answering the phone. That's not going to change tonight.
:40:40. > :40:42.The cops have got one last option.
:40:42. > :40:45.If we think you're at risk, I said you can be placed in protection.
:40:45. > :40:48.What's that? Basically a police protection order. All right?
:40:48. > :40:50.But you can't do that. We can do that.
:40:50. > :40:53.You're 15 years of age, it's 1
:40:53. > :40:56.You can't force me to go back. We can take you
:40:56. > :41:02.and Social Services will place you where they're going to place you.
:41:02. > :41:06.Well, I'll go back to mine, then. BLEEP, I'll text you when I get back, yeah?
:41:06. > :41:08.Oi, make sure you stay out, cos I'm going to text you.
:41:08. > :41:10.The girl has agreed to go back to her care home,
:41:10. > :41:13.but now there's another problem.
:41:13. > :41:15.Her friend might also be on the missing list.
:41:15. > :41:18.Is your name BLEEP? No.
:41:18. > :41:21.Got any ID on you? You got any ID on you? No. My name ain't BLEEP.
:41:21. > :41:23.Why are you laughing?
:41:23. > :41:27.I'm not laughing! When people laugh, it makes me think they're lying.
:41:27. > :41:33.They'll often try and give false details to us because they know they'll be reported missing.
:41:33. > :41:37.What's your name, then? Charmaine. Charmaine what? Charmaine BLEEP.
:41:37. > :41:40.Why can't you look at me? Why can't you look at me?
:41:40. > :41:43.Cos you are BLEEP,aren't you? No, I'm not.
:41:43. > :41:46.We've got a fingerprint ID kit, we can find out your identification.
:41:46. > :41:49.She tried to give us a bluff, but as soon as we got her description,
:41:49. > :41:52.it was obvious it was that person.
:41:52. > :41:56.I'll blatantly run away again, there's no point taking me back.
:41:56. > :41:59.Why are you crowding around me? he's come to give you a lift back.
:41:59. > :42:01.You'll probably run away at some point, but...
:42:01. > :42:05.Well, I'm running away, I'm telling- you now. I know the way back.
:42:05. > :42:09.Both girls are on their way back to the home, but there's still another young girl to deal with,
:42:09. > :42:12.who's with an older boy.
:42:12. > :42:15.What, you're a mate of hers, are you? No.
:42:15. > :42:18.I just met him! They're not missing, but the girl is only 14.
:42:18. > :42:20.Should be tucked up in bed!
:42:20. > :42:24.She'd never met this guy before, he was a lot older than her.
:42:24. > :42:27.She's 14, we're going to be taking her home.
:42:27. > :42:30.She's going back to her parents. 'They're at serious risk.
:42:30. > :42:35.'Out one o'clock in the morning, inebriated, don't know who's about,'
:42:35. > :42:39.could easily be lured into a situation where they're at risk.
:42:39. > :42:43.I'm not trying to scare you, what I'm trying to say is that it's probably a bit...
:42:43. > :42:47.Dangerous environment for a 14-year-old to be out walking the streets this time of night.
:42:47. > :42:50.She needs to be at home and that's where we took her to.
:42:50. > :42:52.Place of safety.
:42:52. > :42:55.Er, probably not.
:42:55. > :43:00.Hello, it's police.
:43:00. > :43:04.And before you ask, I ain't done nothing wrong! Hello.
:43:04. > :43:08.PC Norton from Herts Police. Yes, hello.
:43:08. > :43:12.BLEEP has been hanging out with some of her friends.
:43:12. > :43:15.Ten to one in the morning. Yes.
:43:15. > :43:18.It's not really an appropriate place for a 14-year-old to be. No, it's not.
:43:18. > :43:22.However worldly wise she thinks she might be, obviously she's not.
:43:22. > :43:25.She's not supposed to be in the streets at that time of night.
:43:25. > :43:28.The wool's been pulled over Mum's eyes and she's not where she should be.
:43:28. > :43:32.Were you unaware of the fact she was out or...?
:43:32. > :43:34.Well, I knew she was with her friend BLEEP,
:43:34. > :43:39.but I didn't realise they were actually out on the street. Yeah. Unfortunately, that's the problem.
:43:39. > :43:42.So as long as you know, Mum, the f
:43:42. > :43:48.Just bear in mind what we said to you tonight, OK? Yes.
:43:48. > :43:55.OK, all right, take care. Thanks. Bye.
:43:55. > :43:58.As safe as a little town like Baldock might be,
:43:58. > :44:01.you never know who's travelling through
:44:01. > :44:06.and there's always the dangers there of people willing to take advantage of young people.
:44:06. > :44:10.Especially young girls.
:44:10. > :44:13.Back in Stevenage, there's still no sign of the man with the knife,
:44:13. > :44:18.so the search is going to be called off.
:44:18. > :44:20.But before the helicopter can leave for home,
:44:20. > :44:25.the crew have all of a sudden spotted something else.
:44:25. > :44:29.A gang of youths tearing down shop signs.
:44:30. > :44:35.RADIO: The man on Dowling's just ripped letters off a shop front.
:44:35. > :44:41.Now trying to jump up the wall of Coral's.
:44:41. > :44:46.Received, he's on the high street, is he? Yes, yes.
:44:46. > :44:51.Sierra six, we're about 30 seconds away from that.
:44:51. > :44:56.Vandalism is not something the police helicopter usually gets involved with,
:44:56. > :44:58.but the cops can't ignore what's just happened.
:44:59. > :45:03.'We are looking for someone who we consider to be very dangerous.'
:45:03. > :45:08.with is a group of lads
:45:08. > :45:14.who have been out on the town who decide they're going to be...
:45:14. > :45:17.idiotic.
:45:17. > :45:21.Thanks to the chopper, the lad is easy to identify.
:45:21. > :45:27.'99, it's the one next to the police officer on your left.
:45:27. > :45:31.'Tango three whisky four. X-ray.'
:45:31. > :45:34.Chap, can I have a word with you over here? Me?Yeah, you.
:45:34. > :45:39.And everything he's done has been caught on camera.
:45:39. > :45:44.Right, OK, what have you done at Coral's? Coral's?Yeah, bookmakers.
:45:44. > :45:47.Nothing much. I've done nothing at Coral's.
:45:47. > :45:50.Right, you got any ID on you? Yeah, man.
:45:50. > :45:54.'I've asked him outright,'
:45:54. > :45:57."What have you done?" He tries to get out of it and you'll find that with people,
:45:57. > :46:01.they will try and lie and think, "I can get away with this. I can have one over here."
:46:01. > :46:03.What you done to your hand? I don't know, I fell over.
:46:04. > :46:07.Been climbing a wall? Probably.
:46:07. > :46:12.'What he failed to realise was that loud, droning noise that he heard
:46:12. > :46:14.'was actually a police helicopter.
:46:14. > :46:19.'They're not quiet. They're not designed for stealth.'
:46:19. > :46:23.T
:46:23. > :46:29.Just confirm it's the one I've got with me now. Holding my hand up.
:46:29. > :46:33.RADIO: Yeah, the one that you're talking to now, got it on video,
:46:33. > :46:41.been pulling off letters off the front of a shop...
:46:41. > :46:46.Come with me, chap.
:46:46. > :46:48.Yes, all received, thank you.
:46:48. > :46:51.Why on earth they thought it would be a great idea to damage a shop front
:46:51. > :46:57.is up is beyond me.
:46:57. > :47:02.What's going on, fella, is that off the front of Coral's. Coral's?
:47:02. > :47:05.Yeah. Bookmaker's.
:47:05. > :47:08.Strangely, though, there's no apparent damage to Coral's.
:47:08. > :47:12.Nine, nine, zero six. Yeah, go ahead.
:47:12. > :47:18.If you go back to the other side of the junction, Basil Road, you've got a large green hedge.
:47:18. > :47:21.The letter he ripped off the building was thrown into that
:47:21. > :47:24.and then just at the bottom of that- hedge on the footpath
:47:24. > :47:30.should be a wet area where the glass was thrown on the floor.
:47:30. > :47:36.Yes, all received. Um, whereabouts on the shop front did he do it?
:47:36. > :47:40.They were able to tell us exactly where these letters were.
:47:41. > :47:43.But something still doesn't quite add up for Chris.
:47:43. > :47:47.Run me through what you've done again, to the front.
:47:47. > :47:51.All right, I run up the wall and then, just messing around, we're just walking home, you know...
:47:51. > :47:56.What wall, what wall? The side of Coral's. Just messing around.
:47:56. > :47:59.That wall there, the glass wall.
:47:59. > :48:02.That was clever, weren't it? I know, it's stupid, stupid.
:48:02. > :48:06.You know, we're not... Leaving aside the criminal damage for a second...
:48:06. > :48:09.There's no criminal damage. No, no, leaving that aside, if that window breaks,
:48:09. > :48:12.you go straight through it, OK?
:48:12. > :48:16.A shard of glass falls down, it takes you out. OK, yes.
:48:16. > :48:21.I know you've had a few sherbets, yeah, and then you suddenly think you're Superman or something,
:48:21. > :48:26.all right, but that's just insane.
:48:26. > :48:28.Chris has found some evidence.
:48:28. > :48:32.It's a D, or maybe a B, but it doesn't seem to be from Coral's.
:48:32. > :48:36.Tell me where you got this from. No idea, I don't know.
:48:36. > :48:39.Honestly, mate, I just want to go home.
:48:39. > :48:43.Chris is going to apply the letter of the law.
:48:43. > :48:46.This point in time, you're under arrest on suspicion of criminal damage, OK?
:48:46. > :48:50.You don't have to say anything. It may harm your defence if you don't mention when questioned
:48:50. > :48:53.something you rely on in court. Anything you say may be given in evidence.
:48:53. > :48:57.If you're not straight with me, I'll take you in until I find out where all these have come from.
:48:58. > :49:00.They're up in the sky, I knew it was him.
:49:00. > :49:05.I'd identified him, they'd p
:49:05. > :49:08.He knows they've seen him,
:49:08. > :49:11.'because he can hear what the helicopter's telling me.'
:49:11. > :49:13.Literally, cos I know where all the letters are.
:49:13. > :49:16.There is a small chance of redeeming the situation.
:49:16. > :49:20.I
:49:20. > :49:25.What? We'll see how it goes. You got the rest of the letters?
:49:25. > :49:27.There's another one back there. If I can find them all,
:49:27. > :49:30.then, we'll deal with it that way.
:49:30. > :49:34.But we'll go and have a little walk down there. OK.
:49:34. > :49:37.Right then, my friend... I can find them all.
:49:37. > :49:41.Find the letters! Find the letters!- Find the letters.
:49:41. > :49:44.Find the letters! Find them.
:49:44. > :49:47.You tell them to find them. We know where they are, mate.
:49:47. > :49:49.Right. Look, I apologise...
:49:49. > :49:52.Your friends are going to go on a little expedition now.
:49:52. > :49:55.If they find them all, does that mean I can go?
:49:55. > :49:59.Find them all, and then we'll see how we go. AND if they fit back on there.
:49:59. > :50:01.'I was trying to find another way to deal with it
:50:01. > :50:03.'purely because there was still'
:50:03. > :50:07.a male out there who potentially had a knife on him.
:50:07. > :50:09.Whilst the boys hunt for the missing letters,
:50:09. > :50:11.Jim and Nathan have turned their attention
:50:11. > :50:15.back to searching for the office building metal thieves.
:50:15. > :50:17.There's a couple of people in that doorway.
:50:17. > :50:23.Anyone around at this time of night- will be checked out.
:50:23. > :50:24.Yep, running.
:50:25. > :50:28.'I saw two shadows dart into an alleyway,
:50:28. > :50:31.'
:50:31. > :50:36.maybe an attempted burglary or burglary in progress.
:50:36. > :50:38.It's not burglars after all.
:50:38. > :50:41.It's the girls who were returned to the care home.
:50:42. > :50:44.'It was all a big joke to them.'
:50:44. > :50:46.I thought, it's going to be a long night. Here we go again.
:50:46. > :50:51.Listen, listen. I am sick and tired of chasing after you two.
:50:51. > :50:54.We are absolutely run off our feet tonight.
:50:54. > :50:58.We thought for a second there was s
:50:58. > :51:02.which there is tonight? What?What? Are they breaking into a building?
:51:02. > :51:04.Yeah, there are people breaking into buildings.
:51:04. > :51:10.There's crimes being committed.
:51:10. > :51:14.They're not going to break into a country property... Yeah!
:51:14. > :51:16.Right, if you don't stop swearing, you'll get yourself arrested, all right?
:51:16. > :51:18.You do know we'll just go again. I'll never swear in my life again.
:51:18. > :51:21.I've done what I need to do by getting you back home
:51:21. > :51:23.cos when you end up in a ditch somewhere...
:51:23. > :51:25.You're not getting us home! No, no, no!
:51:25. > :51:28.When something really bad happens to you,
:51:28. > :51:30.there are people out there, right, that you won't even know about.
:51:30. > :51:33.They'll just find you, OK cos they'll pick on you
:51:33. > :51:36.because you're two girls. It's happened to me before! Right, OK.
:51:36. > :51:38.Why go round saying we'll end up in a ditch? I'm trying- to prevent that from happening.
:51:39. > :51:41.Nothing BLEEPscares me. That's what we're trying to prevent.
:51:41. > :51:43.Nothing scares me any more.
:51:43. > :51:46.They were drunk, but that was frustrating me even more,
:51:46. > :51:50.because at their age, they should not be drunk.
:51:50. > :51:53.GIRLS LAUGH
:51:53. > :51:56.Right, as I say, we're really busy tonight... Let's go home!
:51:56. > :52:01.Oh, dear, you're a joker!
:52:01. > :52:04.I don't know if you've noticed... These are the safe police officers!
:52:04. > :52:07...but none of us are laughing. I don't care!
:52:07. > :52:10.Put a smile on your face!
:52:10. > :52:13.it's very apparent you are children.
:52:13. > :52:16.So let's get you back to the home. Come on. Put a smile on your face!
:52:16. > :52:18.It's very frustrating. You think,
:52:18. > :52:21.here I am again, I'm needed elsewhere and I'm dealing with this.
:52:21. > :52:24.THEY LAUGH
:52:24. > :52:27.'And you know in your heart of hearts
:52:27. > :52:29.'that they are going to probably run away again,
:52:29. > :52:32.'but you've got to worry about that risk to that child'
:52:32. > :52:35.and you've got to try and convince them and explain to them the risks
:52:35. > :52:39.and get them back. Every time they go missing, you'll have to deal with it.
:52:39. > :52:42.Just pointless, because we'll put her in, she'll go upstairs and...
:52:42. > :52:45.Can't you handcuff her in her room or something?
:52:45. > :52:47.I thought someone was breaking into the shop.
:52:47. > :52:50.I didn't even notice it was a bright red and bright yellow hoodie.
:52:50. > :52:52.Cheers, guys.
:52:52. > :52:55.If it's not troublesome girls wasting busy police's time,
:52:55. > :52:59.then it's troublemaking boys tying them up.
:52:59. > :53:01.I wasted your time.
:53:01. > :53:04.Now three officers are written off because we have to deal with you.
:53:04. > :53:06.PHONE RINGS
:53:06. > :53:09.Hello? I've been arrested, Mum.
:53:09. > :53:11.Our decision-making isn't great when we've had a few,
:53:11. > :53:13.but I think the majority of people in this country
:53:13. > :53:17.would be able to walk down a high street without doing what they did.
:53:17. > :53:19.The rest of the missing letters have been recovered
:53:19. > :53:23.and what they spell is the clue to where they're from.
:53:23. > :53:27.He said, if we find the letters, they can go tonight with us.
:53:27. > :53:29.It's the first time I've been arrested. Know what I mean?
:53:29. > :53:31.'He was a nice lad. He'd never been in trouble with us before.'
:53:32. > :53:36.Too many sherbets and he's being a silly boy.
:53:36. > :53:41.It just shows you what drinking, or drinking to excess does.
:53:41. > :53:43.Even the nicest of people do silly things.
:53:43. > :53:46.The holder in the wall has come out with it.
:53:46. > :53:49.It's the same, that one as well. Unfortunately for the young man,
:53:49. > :53:52.it's apparent that the shop sign isn't going to be repairable.
:53:52. > :53:55.So that's damaged.
:53:55. > :53:59.Now he's really in the doghouse.
:53:59. > :54:03.The mystery of where the letters came from has been solved.
:54:03. > :54:06.The word on the street is it's not Corals after all,
:54:06. > :54:10.but another well-known bookies - Ladbrokes.
:54:10. > :54:12.Pardon?
:54:12. > :54:16.Yeah, that was quite amusing.
:54:16. > :54:23.Quite apt, but in the same vein, it's some drunken antics that...
:54:23. > :54:26.really someone who should know a bit better.
:54:26. > :54:29.We can all say that we've been there and done silly things
:54:29. > :54:32.at some point in life. Just unfortunate for him
:54:32. > :54:34.he was silly enough to do it with a helicopter above him.
:54:34. > :54:37.Yeah, we're en route to custard. If you could "um" them for me.
:54:37. > :54:40.'In the great scheme of things, you're dealing with'
:54:40. > :54:42.a minor criminal damage, when really,
:54:42. > :54:49.we're there to be looking for someone who's committed a stabbing.
:54:49. > :54:54.It's almost the end of a very long night for the traffic cops
:54:54. > :54:58.and just time for a cuppa before the end of Tony's last ever shift.
:54:58. > :55:01.Ah! Last time we ended up in here, we bloody nicked someone, didn't we?
:55:01. > :55:02.Yes.
:55:02. > :55:10.'We were just nipping into the petrol station for a cup of coffee.'
:55:10. > :55:13.RADIO: 'Youths present on the track on stuck on the track.'
:55:13. > :55:15.Where? Over there.
:55:15. > :55:17.'A job at Grange Avenue near to Leagrave Railway Station.
:55:18. > :55:20.'BTP have called us.
:55:20. > :55:26.'Off CCTV, they can see two youths trespassing on the tracks.'
:55:26. > :55:29.'Can't see what colour they are, IC codes,
:55:29. > :55:31.'but they're both wearing white tops.
:55:31. > :55:34.'They were throwing rubbish on the track earlier.
:55:34. > :55:38.'There's a train due to arrive at 3.20.'
:55:38. > :55:41.Yeah, we're there now.
:55:41. > :55:46.Should be able to see if there's...- if they've got it on CCTV.
:55:46. > :55:48.We were given the description...
:55:48. > :55:50.Who's actually looking at the CCTV?
:55:50. > :55:53.'..and the only two people on the platform
:55:53. > :55:57.'were these two people that met the description.' Yeah, copy.
:55:57. > :55:59.Yeah, we've got them on platform two and three.
:55:59. > :56:02.Yeah, we've got them in sight now. Platform two.
:56:02. > :56:03.One of the reports was,
:56:03. > :56:07.they may have been putting stuff on the railway track itself.
:56:07. > :56:09.Right, what you been up to? Nothing much, mate.
:56:09. > :56:11.If you've got one more unit that can just hang fire in the area,
:56:12. > :56:18.er, they're a bit volatile, just in case we need them.
:56:18. > :56:25.Look, get back. You're trespassing the railway, mate,
:56:25. > :56:28.Am I drunk? Quite clearly you are.
:56:28. > :56:29.You know what I'm saying? You actually are.
:56:29. > :56:31.They clearly wanted to fight.
:56:32. > :56:33.Don't get in my face, else I'll get in your face.
:56:33. > :56:36.I'm not in your face, mate. Move back.
:56:36. > :56:38.They're not here to catch a train
:56:38. > :56:40.so Craig and Tony are going to move them on.
:56:41. > :56:45.You become fluent in...in yobbish, after a little while.
:56:46. > :56:48.Yo, policeman, you think you're special or something?
:56:48. > :56:51.Do you think you're special? Cos you got bullied at school, mate?
:56:51. > :56:55.Yeah, absolutely. Exactly. Look at them. He ain't got no missus.
:56:55. > :56:58.He's probably bum chums with him.
:56:58. > :57:00.Used to find it a little bit infuriating
:57:00. > :57:03.but now it's just very funny - d
:57:03. > :57:08.THEN it becomes infuriating.
:57:08. > :57:10.You're really hard, ain't you?
:57:10. > :57:12.Hey, I'm harder than you, mate, simple as that. Oh, go home.
:57:12. > :57:19.No, you go home, mate. Your mum's going to be waiting for you.
:57:19. > :57:21.I've had enough now, go. I've not got a mum! No! Just go.
:57:21. > :57:24.My mum died, mate. Put your arms down and go.
:57:24. > :57:27.My mum died, what you trying to say?
:57:27. > :57:29.They were two kids, drunk, absolutely silly,
:57:29. > :57:31.been in trouble with us numerous times.
:57:31. > :57:34.I've not got a mum. Go home. Not since six years... Six years!
:57:34. > :57:37.Go home, stop waving your arms.
:57:37. > :57:41.I've not had enough! I've not had a mum, like you.
:57:41. > :57:44.We're off that subject, and stop swearing at me.
:57:44. > :57:47.You telling me about my mum? Go home. My mum's dead.
:57:47. > :57:50.Are you going to go home, yes or no? My mum died of cancer.
:57:50. > :57:56.OK, I apologise for that but now go home, all right?
:57:56. > :57:59.Go home and go quick.
:57:59. > :58:01.You could see everything he was doing was trying to wind me and Tone up.
:58:01. > :58:03.I want to know his number. Wind your neck in and go home.
:58:03. > :58:07.It's beginning to look as if Tony IS going to get that last arrest
:58:07. > :58:09.not that he really wants it any more.
:58:09. > :58:12.I don't care! I want to know what his number is. Go home!
:58:12. > :58:15.Excuse me! I have a right to know his number.
:58:15. > :58:18.He told me to suck my mum, and my mum's dead, so what's his number?
:58:18. > :58:20.What are you laughing for? I didn't say that, buddy.
:58:20. > :58:24.Go home. You did say that. I was there, I heard it. Go home...
:58:24. > :58:26.A normal night, those two would've been in the cells.
:58:26. > :58:29.But this isn't a normal night for Tony.
:58:29. > :58:32.You are that far away from being locked up for the night, all right?
:58:32. > :58:35.Do yourselves a favour, stop being silly and go home.
:58:35. > :58:37.What's your number? This is your last warning.
:58:37. > :58:40.You talked to me about my mother! My mother's dead.
:58:40. > :58:45.We were probably a little bit too, um, lenient with them.
:58:45. > :58:47.Go away. What's his number?
:58:47. > :58:50.Because I have had just about enough of you.
:58:50. > :58:53.Go away. I want his number, that's all I want.
:58:53. > :58:57.Go away. Why's he not getting done instead of me?
:58:57. > :59:02.I'll put my hands up to that one.
:59:02. > :59:07.My last night. I think we dealt with it quite well.
:59:07. > :59:12.In Stevenage, the Ladbrokes lad is about to be dealt with at the nick.
:59:12. > :59:14.Sit there.
:59:14. > :59:17.Edward, is it? How do you prefer to be called? Edward, Eddie? Ed?
:59:17. > :59:20.I don't mind. Whatever.
:59:20. > :59:22.You won't be in here longer than a day.
:59:22. > :59:25.I can pretty much 100% assure you that
:59:25. > :59:27.unless we take your fingerprints and it comes back
:59:27. > :59:30.that you're some kind of big criminal type... I'm not.
:59:30. > :59:33...who we've been looking for for years, you ain't staying here.
:59:34. > :59:36.The worst thing I've done is got a speeding ticket, ever.
:59:36. > :59:38.Y
:59:38. > :59:43.We'll then fingerprint, photograph and take your DNA, all right?
:59:43. > :59:47.All for a drunken prank. That's the thing, OK? Idiot!Yes.
:59:47. > :59:50.'Cos he was drunk, he couldn't be dealt with at that time.
:59:50. > :59:53.'He stayed in custody overnight, was interviewed next morning'
