0:05:49 > 0:05:50BLEEP!

0:05:55 > 0:05:57so we can come and liaise with them,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59as we were the one that put up the pursuit.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- How you doing, are you all right? - Hell, yeah.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- First one?- Yeah!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Same! It was obvious, weren't it?!
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Flipping 'ell.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I kept up with him! Kept up with him, that's the main thing.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- You bedded the brakes in, anyway! - Yeah, the brakes work, now(!)
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Has he been arrested?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Right.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30By the time Oz and Laura get to the scene,
0:06:30 > 0:06:32the driver is already in custody.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Yeah, we've stopped him, but you're more than welcome to take him.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It's up to you. Honestly.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Well, you did all the hard work!
0:06:38 > 0:06:40He doesn't want him back!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Yeah, first ever pursuit, that's, um...
0:06:43 > 0:06:48Yeah. It was OK. Bit of adrenaline rushing through the system, but...
0:06:48 > 0:06:49It's nice, we got him - finally.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Good little spot. - Yeah, very. Yeah, happy.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Happy with it. I think Oz is, as well!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It's what we joined up for, isn't it?!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00As well as helping people, obviously!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Well done. You did well! - HE EXHALES
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Dream team!- Phew!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Come on. - MAN PROTESTS
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Come on.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Walk, then.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18The driver is a 17-year-old boy from Peckham
0:07:18 > 0:07:20who is already known to the police.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24He's got no licence,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28and it's not the first time he's stolen his mum's car.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Found...that much cannabis.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Which is two... There's two bags of those ones in his jeans pocket.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43The offences that he's been arrested for in total
0:07:43 > 0:07:45will be dangerous driving, fail to stop,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47assault on police,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49driving not in compliance with a licence,
0:07:49 > 0:07:51no insurance,
0:07:51 > 0:07:53possession of cannabis, erm...
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I think that's it, which is quite a lot for a 17-year-old.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Since hosting the Olympics, Stratford in East London
0:08:18 > 0:08:20has undergone rapid development,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23bringing thousands of jobs to the area -
0:08:23 > 0:08:27but the large, transient population has given rise to social problems.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30The nearby Romford Road
0:08:30 > 0:08:33has become one of London's prostitution hotspots,
0:08:33 > 0:08:35with street sex workers,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38massage parlours and budget hotels,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41some of which the police suspect are operating as brothels.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I come out of my front door
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- and I smell...- Yeah, marijuana.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49That they're smoking.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51And it's so heavy at times,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'm thinking I'm going to walk around stoned.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Yeah.- On the streets, it is so strong.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- It is the perfume of Stratford. - I know.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Moving on to prostitution.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06OK, so... As you know, I talk about this at every meeting,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09it's something I feel very strongly about and I know you all do too,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12being residents, and having to have this on your doorstep every day.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Leading the borough's efforts to tackle prostitution
0:09:15 > 0:09:18is Sergeant Vicky Kneale from the Neighbourhoods Team.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20There are building sites everywhere,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22there's lots of regeneration going on,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24workers come to this area, there's Crossrail.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27That's bringing in a lot of people to the area, as well...
0:09:27 > 0:09:29It's not big enough.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30In the morning, on my way to work,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33I have prostitutes knocking on the window of my car...
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Wow.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- And this is another thing. - They're quite aggressive themselves.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- It's intimidating.- Groups of guys.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43And it's getting more and more.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46I know sometimes it can feel like we might not be doing everything
0:09:46 > 0:09:49you WANT us to do, but the strategy that we're currently working towards
0:09:49 > 0:09:51at the minute is targeting the drug dealers,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54if we take the kerb crawlers out of the equation,
0:09:54 > 0:09:55and we try and safeguard the girls
0:09:55 > 0:09:57as opposed to trying to prosecute them,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59because unfortunately, we've found from previous,
0:09:59 > 0:10:01prosecution of these girls doesn't work,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03because all that happens is you arrest them,
0:10:03 > 0:10:04put them through the court,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06give them a fine and the only way they can pay the fine
0:10:06 > 0:10:09is the same way that they get their money to buy the drugs,
0:10:09 > 0:10:10which is to go back out again.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20Tonight, Vicky's out on patrol with PC Becky Garner.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23On their patch is the Romford Road.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Romford Road's a main arterial route with loads of little side roads.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30So what they tend to do, they'll pull up on the corner,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32pick them up, then turn down the side roads
0:10:32 > 0:10:36and then either just cut into car parks or, in summer...
0:10:36 > 0:10:38in summer, they don't even bother going that far.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41They tend to just go in gardens and, um...
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Gardens, bin sheds, disused cars. Anything.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Is someone in there? - I don't think so, no.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- It's all locked up.- What is it? - It's a car. Somebody's house.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Got a used condom there, condom packet over there.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02You know, people live here with kids, and...
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Is this really what you want to wake up to in the morning?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Used condoms, cars now that have been left there for a couple of days
0:11:08 > 0:11:10and all of a sudden, someone's moved in there,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12bringing people back there, having sex there -
0:11:12 > 0:11:15and this is where they'll sleep until we then get it removed.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21This isn't King's Cross in the '80s,
0:11:21 > 0:11:25it's not everywhere you look there are girls swarming around -
0:11:25 > 0:11:30and, actually, if you didn't know who they were and what they were,
0:11:30 > 0:11:31you'd probably think
0:11:31 > 0:11:34they were just waiting on the street corner for a mate.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37They're not short-skirted, standing there chewing gum,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40you know, with their thumb out or anything.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44They're just really inconspicuous girls in normal jeans and trainers
0:11:44 > 0:11:46and big jackets in winter. What's that?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Control VL, please.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Can we just speak to her, see what they said?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55You all right? You're not in any trouble, don't worry.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- You know those guys that just stopped you?- Yeah.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59How many were there in the car?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01What did they ask you for?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- And what did you say?- No.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Is that because there was two of them in there?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Really?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Right, thanks. See you later.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Stay off the Romford Road for me, will you, love? Please. Thank you.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24You know, these girls feel so shit about themselves anyway, you know?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I mean, the blokes treat them not very nice,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29they don't make them feel very good about themselves,
0:12:29 > 0:12:30the job that they're doing
0:12:30 > 0:12:32doesn't make them feel very good about themselves.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34They do not need me standing there,
0:12:34 > 0:12:36preaching to them about being a prostitute
0:12:36 > 0:12:38and how disgusting that is.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40For me, it doesn't achieve anything at all.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- All right?- Where are your shoes?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Here, but they're killing me!
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Oh, my goodness.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- Are you working?- Am I going to get arrested?- No!- All right.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Yeah, trying to learn a few quid.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Have you had anybody yet, or not? - Eh?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Have you had anybody yet? - No, I'm seeing still.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Just out of interest, how much are you charging at the minute?- 30 quid.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- For?- A blow job. - 30 quid for a blow job?- Yeah.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12'As a woman, I couldn't think of anything worse than the only way
0:13:12 > 0:13:15'that you can feed and clothe and house yourself overnight'
0:13:15 > 0:13:17is to put yourself on these streets
0:13:17 > 0:13:19and do what some of these girls are having to do.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I mean, I physically don't know how they do it.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Have you been on drugs now, have you taken drugs tonight?- No, no, no.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Nothing?- No.- Anything?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I'm going to the doctor's on Monday, but I have got my medication
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- left from what they gave me at the prison.- Yeah.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34You've got to go back, you've got to go back.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36'I see them very much as victims
0:13:36 > 0:13:38'as much as any other victim on the streets,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40'so I think what I'm trying to do really is just'
0:13:40 > 0:13:43pick off individuals and try and rehabilitate them.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Look after yourself, mate, all right?- I will.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48And put your shoes on! Are they wedding shoes?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50'What we're doing here is not indicative of what is
0:13:50 > 0:13:52'happening across the Met,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56'it's just something that I feel we've got to try and give a go,
0:13:56 > 0:14:01'because I want to be able to give these girls an option.'
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Vicky suspects that some of the women selling sex
0:14:10 > 0:14:13are controlled by organised criminals.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15No, I'm going to pull up here.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19For the last few months, she's been gathering intelligence
0:14:19 > 0:14:22about a budget hotel called the Travel Inn.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24So, the hotel in the distance, we're doing a little bit of work on
0:14:24 > 0:14:26at the minute because we believe
0:14:26 > 0:14:29that it's potentially being run as a brothel.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Quite a lot of intel at the minute around Romanian girls
0:14:32 > 0:14:33being brought in,
0:14:33 > 0:14:37working from the rooms in there and bringing clients in
0:14:37 > 0:14:40off websites and the owner is taking a cut of their profits
0:14:40 > 0:14:42by letting them stay in those rooms.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44The issue that we have with that, obviously,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46is the fact that it's being run as a brothel,
0:14:46 > 0:14:49but also that, the owner, this isn't the only one that he's running,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52so it's an ongoing piece of work we're looking at
0:14:52 > 0:14:54to try and see if we can get it closed down
0:14:54 > 0:14:55and look to be prosecuting the owner
0:14:55 > 0:14:58for controlling prostitution for gain.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06BAGPIPES AND DRUMBEATS
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Do you reckon them hats are really heavy?- RADIO:- 'Receiving?'- Eh?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Do you reckon them hats are really heavy?- Yeah.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29It's the hottest day of the year and in Westminster, Oz and Laura
0:15:29 > 0:15:30are beginning a nine-hour shift.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I love good weather.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I'm not sure that I would choose this outfit
0:15:36 > 0:15:39if I was to go abroad, where it was going to be 35 Celsius.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- It's the hot legs and hot trotters that get me.- Mm.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56A police officer has been attacked in Hyde Park.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01A helicopter and all local units are scrambled to the scene.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22Er, I dunno.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27An impromptu summer party has drawn thousands of teenagers
0:16:27 > 0:16:28and young people to the park...
0:16:30 > 0:16:35So just all of that area you can see just north of the boathouse.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36We're here.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39..but when the police intervened to stop the music,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41they've come under attack.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Fuck.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03By the time Oz and Laura arrive,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06it's clear a major incident is developing.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16This has been arranged over the internet using social media.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Several thousand people have attended.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20My driver has had...
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Has come under attack with a glass bottle,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25he's had his head split open,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and another officer has been stabbed in the back of the head.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Luckily, it didn't go through to his skull, so he's all right.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Clearly a lot of alcohol has been had,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37the amount of bottles that have come towards us.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40And laughing gas, as well. Loads of canisters.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43It's not really been established as to why,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46but they just suddenly started lashing out at the police.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52It's just people being in the park, having a drink,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55and if you draw your attention to that...
0:17:55 > 0:17:57It's a full moon!
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Which probably has a contributing factor!
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Outnumbered, the police wait for riot-trained reinforcements
0:18:12 > 0:18:14as the park descends into chaos.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19I don't know if you can see,
0:18:19 > 0:18:22there's mass migration in all directions.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30There's several sporadic fights breaking out,
0:18:30 > 0:18:33they are just laying into each other, big-time.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48As night falls,
0:18:48 > 0:18:52a man is stabbed in the arm and comes forward looking for treatment.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Chief Inspector of the Royal Park, Stephen Manger, makes the decision
0:18:57 > 0:19:01to clear the park using a tactic known as a clearance sweep.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05The suggestion would be perhaps use the carriers on the side
0:19:05 > 0:19:08so that you can then move forward and see what happens to the crowd,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10go forwards sort of 20 feet to start with.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Hold it there,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14hopefully that might encourage people to start leaving the park.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16OK? Happy with that plan?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Get back!- Get back over there, mate. - Get back!
0:19:19 > 0:19:20SHOUTING
0:19:25 > 0:19:27With the riot vans flanking them,
0:19:27 > 0:19:32the police line up and slowly push the crowd north across the park.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Missiles!- Missiles!- Missile.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Missile.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- It's getting hard to see them, now. - I ain't got a shield!- Missile.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52People think it's part and parcel,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55you become a police officer and you can expect to get injured
0:19:55 > 0:19:57and it's true, unfortunately - you can expect to get injured.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01- Black eye is probably the worst I've had.- Leave the park, now!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03CROWD CHANT
0:20:08 > 0:20:10They want us to react.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12We're obviously more professional than that,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14we're not going to react just like that.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17We've not retaliated, we've just asked them to leave the park.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20They're leaving on their own accord, so they've got what they wanted.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24They've had their five minutes on their social media sites
0:20:24 > 0:20:26and now they're probably going to go home
0:20:26 > 0:20:28and put it on their post on the internet.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Having a look at Marble Arch, busiest areas
0:20:31 > 0:20:34appear to be the roundabout, underneath the arch,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36with a load of people dancing.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38The majority of the other people are outside McDonald's.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42The police have pushed the crowd out of Hyde Park,
0:20:42 > 0:20:47but on the streets nearby, more trouble erupts.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Just confirm your exact location, we have a male stabbed in the heart.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Confirm your exact location, over.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06A male stabbed in the heart.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08'They're not stopping...'
0:21:08 > 0:21:09'They're walking down Park Lane.'
0:21:09 > 0:21:13They're walking off, he's been stabbed.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14'Please can we have...
0:21:14 > 0:21:15'..Park Lane...'
0:21:15 > 0:21:18He could die if the ambulance don't get there.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Just confirm this is a male that's been stabbed,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24walking towards the ambulance.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28He's being carried in a crowd down to the ambulance.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Can I make a recommendation that we close Park Lane
0:21:39 > 0:21:41where the ambulance is treating the male?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Probably make life easier in the long run if we do it now.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- Come on, Oz.- Got it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57After 12 hours on duty, Oz and Laura
0:21:57 > 0:21:59are stood down for the night.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03All you could hear on the radio was, "stabbing, stabbing, stabbing".
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I've lost count of how many stabbings there are,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07there's scenes everywhere.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09There are scenes just being set up all over,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11and even when that's happening,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13still, people are being anti towards you,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15and people just don't seem to care, do they?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17They've got too much alcohol on board.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Time to go home, girls, please. Off you go, please.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- So, yeah. It's kind of...a bit of a come-down right now.- Mm-hm.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39We had a mobilisation of the force last night.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42There was a fast and furious and effective response.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44By 3am, London was calm.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47After a night of disturbances in Hyde Park
0:22:47 > 0:22:50and at two other sites across London,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53senior officers, led by Commander BJ Harrington,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55meet to plan the Met's response.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58We saw spontaneous and serious disorder
0:22:58 > 0:23:02which saw officers injured, one stabbed, one hit with a bottle,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05three members of the public stabbed, and then ongoing disorder and fights
0:23:05 > 0:23:08which we then had to mobilise in order to do a clearance,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10but, fortunately for all,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12none of the injuries are believed life-threatening.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15We have taken the very serious decision of going to 12-hour shifts
0:23:15 > 0:23:19for, certainly, the next seven days, until we understand the issues
0:23:19 > 0:23:22and we can be sure that we can deliver a safe response for London.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24'BJ, can I just clarify,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26'the 12-hours only applies to uniform officers,
0:23:26 > 0:23:27'is that correct?'
0:23:27 > 0:23:30No, it's all officers, 12-hour shifts.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- 'For CID?'- Yes, CID as well.- 'OK.'
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- 'Boss, can Intel come in on the op name?'- You can.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- 'We've got an op name already.' - That's good.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42'San Marino. Op San Marino, as in the country, or whatever it is.'
0:23:42 > 0:23:44OK. I've got no objection to San Marino.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47One of the only football teams that England can actually beat,
0:23:47 > 0:23:48I think, is that not right?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51OK. Anyway, Op San Marino, we'll work with that.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53'May I just ask that the operation name is reconsidered?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55'San Marino was an area of Los Angeles
0:23:55 > 0:23:58'where there were riots 20 years ago - Rodney King.'
0:23:58 > 0:24:00OK, that is a very good point why it's not.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04There you go, we will rethink on the operation name.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Who does operation names?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Intel, you usually issue those, don't you?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Can you give me a call afterwards with something...best guess,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14that doesn't have any implications for anything else
0:24:14 > 0:24:17or inadvertent associations with elsewhere?
0:24:19 > 0:24:23With the heat wave set to continue, the renamed Op Sanmar
0:24:23 > 0:24:26will provide an extra thousand riot-trained officers
0:24:26 > 0:24:28for the next seven days.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30We saw what happened last night,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33and our theory is that this similar sort of thing happens again,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35whether that's because it's still a hot night,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38because we're still going to have groups gathering,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41because people decide that that looked like good fun,
0:24:41 > 0:24:42let's try and do that again.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46So we've mobilised sufficient resources to tackle those incidents,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49whatever they might be, reassuring Londoners
0:24:49 > 0:24:53that we've got a grip of this, because if WE haven't, then who has?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Mobile phone footage from the disorder last night
0:24:59 > 0:25:03is circulating on the internet, including the attack on Park Lane.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06He's getting dipped! He's going to get dipped!
0:25:06 > 0:25:09He got dipped! He got dipped! He got dipped! He got dipped!
0:25:09 > 0:25:10SCREAMING
0:25:16 > 0:25:19The Park Lane victim suffered multiple lacerations
0:25:19 > 0:25:20and a 4cm stab wound,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22which just missed his heart.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Leading the hunt for his attacker is Detective Inspector Dave Bolton
0:25:27 > 0:25:30from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command.
0:25:30 > 0:25:37This bit of footage is the clip that is widely seen on social media.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40So this is the full speed attack footage.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42The victim trying to get away from the blade,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45they're chasing him through traffic.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49We then come onto a second piece of mobile phone footage.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Our suspect is the purple arrow, the victim is on the floor,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55he's been repeatedly stabbed and sits up.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57First stab, second stab,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59third, fourth...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01fifth, sixth,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04and there's a slash wound as he runs away.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06More attack footage - there's our suspect again,
0:26:06 > 0:26:08armed with a very large knife.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10It's probably a foot long.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13As it progresses, you can see it glinting.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14That's a horrendous knife.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17That's not a kitchen knife, that's a hunting knife.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22These type of knives, unfortunately...are...
0:26:23 > 0:26:26..fairly commonplace among gang members.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31One of the suspects does a flying kick and knocks him to the floor.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Bang, he's knocked over by one suspect,
0:26:34 > 0:26:35who cowardly runs away,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38and then others come in, armed with knives,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40chasing him through the traffic.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43And our victim, you can see,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45he's desperately trying to get away from the knife,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48he's trying to keep his body as far away from the knife as possible.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54The victim has told police that he was attacked
0:26:54 > 0:26:56by a stranger wearing a mask.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Although we have the social media footage of the attack...
0:27:00 > 0:27:06..um...it doesn't show us anything that's useful for us
0:27:06 > 0:27:08to actually identify our attackers from.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13He's hoping that if we can't identify him from the attack,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16that he'll just merge into the crowd and be undetected.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22To try and trace the masked man after the attack,
0:27:22 > 0:27:26detectives turn to CCTV from the surrounding streets.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Our challenge is that we've got
0:27:28 > 0:27:31a significant quantity of CCTV footage
0:27:31 > 0:27:34and thousands of people milling around,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37so trying to sort out which ones are involved
0:27:37 > 0:27:40in any form of criminality is becoming a real challenge.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42It's a needle in a haystack.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Friday night. 1am.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03So, we'll go down and see the new sauna that's come up.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05We'll just knock on the door and see what's there,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08and then I'll actually have a quick drive past the hotel
0:28:08 > 0:28:11on Romford Road, as well, see if there's anything happening there.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- See who's about. Right? - Yep. Yeah, yeah.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17For the last five months,
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Vicky Kneale has been investigating a local hotel - the Travel Inn.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27She suspects it to be a brothel,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29whose owner has links to Romanian criminals.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- Eastern European?- Yeah.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38All right?
0:28:39 > 0:28:40Police.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Yes, you do.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44Are you working?
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Where are you from?
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Are you? Perfect.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Get her on the radio.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52We're on Romford Road, just stopped a young female, Romanian.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Any chance you can have a word with her?
0:28:57 > 0:28:58- Yes.- Perfect.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59Romanian.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02'What do you want me to ask her?'
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Name and where she is staying.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06SHE SPEAKS IN ROMANIAN
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Let me look. Key ring.
0:29:08 > 0:29:103-2.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13IN ROMANIAN:
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Brilliant.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Just ask her, why the Travel Inn?
0:29:27 > 0:29:28Why the Travel Inn?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36'She says because she likes the hotel.'
0:29:37 > 0:29:38OK.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42First girl we stop, started chatting to her, Romanian.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Guess what she's got in her hand.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45'What?'
0:29:45 > 0:29:47A Travel Inn key fob. Honestly!
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I was just like, "You can't make this shit up!"
0:29:52 > 0:29:55The Travel Inn is just one of a number of properties
0:29:55 > 0:29:57all owned by the same man.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03So, this is Mr David Archer, previously known as David Grant.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07He is in his mid-50s, born in Scotland,
0:30:07 > 0:30:09lived down here for quite a long time,
0:30:09 > 0:30:10owns quite a lot of property.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Very controlling, very manipulative man
0:30:13 > 0:30:15who we believe is running multiple brothels
0:30:15 > 0:30:20across this borough, other boroughs, and also, potentially, overseas.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Despite being suspected of running a major criminal enterprise,
0:30:25 > 0:30:30Archer only has a couple of minor convictions for assault.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33He has been pretty much under the radar.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36I think he sees himself very much as untouchable by the police.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38What we do need is evidence from the girls
0:30:38 > 0:30:42that he is, in fact, controlling them as prostitutes for gain,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44and taking money from them for that purpose.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Our plan of attack is as follows.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51We will have one day of activity,
0:30:51 > 0:30:55we have got floor plans of all the premises, which is great...
0:30:55 > 0:30:58A decision has been made to raid four of Archer's properties.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Vicky is meeting financial investigators, Immigration,
0:31:03 > 0:31:07and a Met Police sexual exploitation unit to plan the raids.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Archer got notified to us
0:31:09 > 0:31:12last year some time for, just, some basic common assault.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Archer was also linked to the Travel Inn -
0:31:14 > 0:31:16girls reporting assault,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18but also that it was being used as a brothel.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19We had a prostitute
0:31:19 > 0:31:21who took an overdose and was found dead in there.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I just think, for the risk thing, we can't really take any more time,
0:31:24 > 0:31:25and we'll just keep going,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28so we're just going to go and get the warrant
0:31:28 > 0:31:30to try and get all of the premises closed -
0:31:30 > 0:31:33because I think everybody has got their own agenda on this.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35I know, obviously, Gaynor wants to take him for everything he's got,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38which is great, but also, our main thing, for us,
0:31:38 > 0:31:39especially, is the neighbourhoods,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42is to get the places closed down, because they are crime generators
0:31:42 > 0:31:44and we've got a lot of vulnerable girls
0:31:44 > 0:31:46that are potentially frequenting in and out of there,
0:31:46 > 0:31:48and we need to be able to get those closed down.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51One of the strongest weapons against Archer
0:31:51 > 0:31:54will be his business records and financial affairs.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56We deal with the girls, get the girls out of the equation,
0:31:56 > 0:31:59and then you do the searches for whatever it is,
0:31:59 > 0:32:00cos we're not looking for anything
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- other than just girls, really. - Exactly.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- Yeah.- But you will be doing those searches.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06We will do the searches around the business records,
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- and accounts and stuff like that. - Perfect.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10If there's cash in the addresses, we'll deal with that.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Might want to think about whether we need a cash dog
0:32:12 > 0:32:14to have a quick sniff round,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17because it is much quicker with the dog to find cash.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20That side of things, we will be working hand-in-hand with HMRC.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23They want to deal with him for tax offences.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26So, really, we just want to hit him with everything -
0:32:26 > 0:32:27all angles that we possibly can.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30You will deal with the finance, HMRC will deal with their bit,
0:32:30 > 0:32:31and then, obviously, Immigration,
0:32:31 > 0:32:33if there's any offences that come out,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35we can deal with that nearer the time.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Does that sort of make sense?
0:32:45 > 0:32:4848 hours after the Hyde Park disorder,
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Central London is quiet
0:32:50 > 0:32:54but the Met Police remain on 12-hour shifts,
0:32:54 > 0:32:57with thousands of riot-trained officers held on stand-by
0:32:57 > 0:32:59across the capital,
0:32:59 > 0:33:02ready to deploy within 15 minutes.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12It's been a little bit slow today,
0:33:12 > 0:33:16so we are just enjoying a little bit of downtime.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Having a lovely time.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23We are practising our team-building skills,
0:33:23 > 0:33:27how we all work together as a team, which is, as you can see, well.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31No-one's injured, so, you know, that's always a bonus.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37We have been on shift for coming up nine hours...
0:33:39 > 0:33:41..but if you're on with a good team, you know,
0:33:41 > 0:33:43it's all right, it's bearable.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- Catch it!- Catch it!- Yay!
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Deployment of riot police around Westminster
0:33:49 > 0:33:52means some boroughs are short of numbers,
0:33:52 > 0:33:58so Oz and Laura are sent five miles east to Hackney for a night shift.
0:33:58 > 0:33:59MUSIC PLAYS FROM PHONE
0:33:59 > 0:34:02What the hell is this?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- That's Spice Girls, isn't it?- No!
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- No!- Don't be ridiculous.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11INTERVIEWER: What's Oz like?
0:34:12 > 0:34:13He's lovely.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17He's eager, energetic, he's good to work with, he's good fun.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21You're sitting in a car with someone for eight or nine hours,
0:34:21 > 0:34:23you get to know them quite quickly.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25You know about each other's families,
0:34:25 > 0:34:26you know what each other likes,
0:34:26 > 0:34:28you get to know each other's habits.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30My work husband.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Try that door out.
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Oh, gosh!
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Laura is... She's very good to work with, very funny.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43We have quite a laugh, you know, working together.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45She's quite a bubbly character.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48I take the mickey out of her accent, so it's quite nice.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Has Mummy been out to see if anything's been taken?
0:34:53 > 0:34:56'I've always wanted to be a police officer.'
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Second floor. Residential...
0:34:58 > 0:35:02'I was a proper little geek. I lived in a small village in Hull'
0:35:02 > 0:35:05and my mum and dad were in the Neighbourhood Watch
0:35:05 > 0:35:07and we used to do the crime prevention talks
0:35:07 > 0:35:08and I used to trot along.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10It was ever since then, really,
0:35:10 > 0:35:13I've kind of geared everything up towards joining,
0:35:13 > 0:35:16so it's good, it is good to finally be one.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19RADIO CHATTER
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- HE YAWNS - I'm tired now.- Yeah.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Where?
0:35:34 > 0:35:37As dawn breaks, a call comes in about a large fight nearby.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Several crews respond.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Van unit?
0:35:51 > 0:35:55But with officers from other parts of London helping out in Hackney,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57local knowledge is in short supply.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58Where are they going?
0:35:58 > 0:36:00SIRENS WAIL
0:36:00 > 0:36:02What are you going to?
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- We don't know where we're going. - No, we don't!
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- We were following you. - We were going to follow you!
0:36:08 > 0:36:09THEY LAUGH
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- Where the fuck is it? - System works(!)
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- RADIO:- 'Got about three in the van with us.'- Where is it?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16What's that knife for, then?
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- Oh, my God. Oh, my God. - What's that for?
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Please, I don't know what that is, I swear.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25You don't know what it is? You just pulled it out your fucking back!
0:36:25 > 0:36:27By the time they arrive at the scene,
0:36:27 > 0:36:29a suspect matching the description is being searched.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32You don't know how that knife has got in your waistband?
0:36:32 > 0:36:34I swear! Oh, my God.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Whilst he's been searched,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38a knife was found concealed in his waistband.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42He didn't seem to know how the knife got there, funnily enough.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Lucky he didn't fall over and hurt himself, to be honest.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48Why don't we see if we can get...?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Why don't we see if we can get back to our borough?
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Yeah. OK, we'll do that.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Across London, Dave Bolton and his team have spent a week
0:37:12 > 0:37:16sifting through hundreds of hours of CCTV,
0:37:16 > 0:37:19looking for the suspect from the Park Lane stabbing.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24Immediately after the attack, an eyewitness has informed us
0:37:24 > 0:37:27that the suspect ran underneath Marble Arch
0:37:27 > 0:37:29towards the direction of McDonald's.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Now, we've managed to pick up our suspect coming into McDonald's.
0:37:34 > 0:37:40The reason why we can say that is that the description is so unique.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45There is this mask, coloured with camouflage,
0:37:45 > 0:37:47which must have been pretty horrifying.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53It would appear that he's looking for his other friends
0:37:53 > 0:37:56because he walks around, he doesn't buy anything...
0:37:58 > 0:38:01..and then, a short time later, he walks out.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05Having left McDonald's,
0:38:05 > 0:38:08we then get direction of travel towards Queensway,
0:38:08 > 0:38:10and we've then got a series of clips
0:38:10 > 0:38:13where he's walking down the street wearing his mask,
0:38:13 > 0:38:15and then he takes his mask off.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22And you've got some good facial images of our suspect.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28When the image is circulated across the Met,
0:38:28 > 0:38:30a gangs unit officer from west London
0:38:30 > 0:38:33identifies the suspect as Joshua Clements.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39We've now backtracked and found that Mr Clements was involved
0:38:39 > 0:38:44in a previous incident a few hours before on the White City estate,
0:38:44 > 0:38:47so we've gone and got the CCTV from the White City estate, as well,
0:38:47 > 0:38:50and he's carrying the camouflage mask
0:38:50 > 0:38:52that he wears during the attacks.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- See you at the address.- Yeah.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- Hammersmith, yeah? - Yes, please, mate.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13This chap is from a fairly prolific criminal background.
0:39:13 > 0:39:18He's been involved in drugs and violence for a long time.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20He has been in and out of prison.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22He isn't long released from prison
0:39:22 > 0:39:25so he's certainly known to us, unfortunately.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31SHOUTING AND BANGING
0:39:51 > 0:39:55I wonder whether we could have a local unit to assist us
0:39:55 > 0:39:57with securing the scene, please.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07With the suspect in custody, the forensic search team moves in.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21We've got the evidence he was supplying drugs in here, look,
0:40:21 > 0:40:23you've got rocks of crack cocaine.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27The white is the crack cocaine and the black is the heroin.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Morning. Sorry about the early call.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02One suspect has left detained.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08They've seen that there is a very large hunting knife in a rucksack,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11which is likely to be our attack weapon,
0:41:11 > 0:41:15and there's 50 rocks found in the bedroom with the suspect,
0:41:15 > 0:41:18so...all good.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Cheers, boss.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Seaforth Place. That's 66.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37- There's the Boris bikes. - Ah, there it is!- Oh, yeah.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Fella, can you stand up, please, and move on?
0:41:41 > 0:41:43You can go and sleep somewhere else in the shade,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46but if you could just move on from this location, it'd be appreciated.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Thank you.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01We've got a lot of vagrants and a lot of homeless
0:42:01 > 0:42:03in the centre of Westminster,
0:42:03 > 0:42:07and quite often they've had something terrible happen to them.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11They've had an experience they've not necessarily dealt with -
0:42:11 > 0:42:13it's led to an addiction, it's led to them losing their job.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18I feel sorry for the people in those situations,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21but then, at the same time, we're getting phone calls saying,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23"There is a homeless person that refuses to move."
0:42:23 > 0:42:27It really is a cycle of frustration, I think, on all parties.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30I know you're in a difficult situation
0:42:30 > 0:42:32where you haven't got anywhere to reside on an evening,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34but if someone asks you to leave
0:42:34 > 0:42:36from outside of their shop, then you have to.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38It's not a personal thing, pal.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42We can't, can we? We've got a job to do.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- You can fuck off, as well. - That's not very nice.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50I'm getting arrested for nothing!
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- Mind your head as you go in, it's a bit...- Yeah...fucking...
0:42:54 > 0:42:56In you get.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58At Charing Cross station, a homeless man has been arrested
0:42:58 > 0:43:01after behaving aggressively towards staff.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04RADIO CHATTER
0:43:04 > 0:43:08HE SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY
0:43:10 > 0:43:13He's been taking a form of synthetic cannabis called Spice.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17SHOUTING CONTINUES
0:43:17 > 0:43:18Sit down.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- No, fucking get off me.- All right. - Don't touch me!- All right.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24- Don't!- Stay still, then.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26- Fucking! If you touch me... - No-one's touching you.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29- Right, that's an assault charge, that's assault...- Use that.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31- Give me your numbers. Right, what's your number?- 1158.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34That's an assault charge. You touched me. You touched me.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Go on, then.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39If you want to play the game, we can play the game, mate.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41I'm not going to play any games, yeah.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43- Do you want me to do it? - No.- Just calm down.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45We want you to turn round and face that way, please.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Do you want me to do it or not?
0:43:47 > 0:43:48Not.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50He's an idiot. I could take him, and them.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53I'll get out of these handcuffs and beat you up.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55That's what I'm going to do.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58Have you ever been homeless? No.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00Ever been homeless? No.
0:44:00 > 0:44:01You ever been homeless? No.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03You ever been homeless? No. You ever been homeless? No.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05You ever been homeless? No. No!
0:44:05 > 0:44:07- No!- Just trying to...
0:44:07 > 0:44:10Stop moving your head around in people's faces then.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13You ain't never been homeless, you're all coppers.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15That's all you are, coppers.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17At the same time...
0:44:17 > 0:44:23At the same time, I wouldn't trust anyone with my safety
0:44:23 > 0:44:27apart from you lot. Do you get that?
0:44:27 > 0:44:29- Do you get it?- Yeah.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32No, you don't get it.
0:44:32 > 0:44:37I hate you lot, but at the same time, I fucking love you lot.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Do you get me?
0:44:39 > 0:44:41I can't do what you do.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44I respect you loads, but I fucking hate you
0:44:44 > 0:44:48cos you've always got it in for me and I don't know what I've done.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53Very up and down, quite unpredictable.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55But...
0:44:55 > 0:44:58at least he's no bother for the members of the public this evening.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01Just for our staff, instead.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27With the suspect for the Park Lane stabbing in custody,
0:45:27 > 0:45:30the hunting knife and sheath found in his bedroom
0:45:30 > 0:45:33are being examined by forensic scientists.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38Joshua, because you've been involved in a violent incident...
0:45:38 > 0:45:41Or that's what the allegation is, anyway, OK?
0:45:42 > 0:45:47..we're going to be asking to take nail clippings and scrapings, OK?
0:45:47 > 0:45:49What that means is we're going to clip your nails
0:45:49 > 0:45:52and you know when you get the rubbish from underneath your nails
0:45:52 > 0:45:54when they're dirty? We're just going to do that, OK?
0:45:54 > 0:45:57- Mm-hm.- We're also going to ask you to see a doctor,
0:45:57 > 0:46:01and we'd ask that the doctor note any injuries that you've got,
0:46:01 > 0:46:03any fresh ones, OK?
0:46:04 > 0:46:06The suspect name is Joshua Clements.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10He is the suspect for the potential murder.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14He also matches the description for one of the other GBHs
0:46:14 > 0:46:18and he has stolen property from one of the robberies.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20The important thing is actually...
0:46:20 > 0:46:23The only important thing, really, is getting DNA off the blade
0:46:23 > 0:46:26- because it's in his house, it's in his room.- Yeah.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Does it match what's seen on CCTV?
0:46:28 > 0:46:30- Yes.- So we've probably got the right knife rather than a...
0:46:30 > 0:46:33CCTV is of a very large knife.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36And the victim drew a picture of the knife,
0:46:36 > 0:46:38and it's a serrated end.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41Right at the top near the handle, there's some...
0:46:41 > 0:46:44He even got the right number of serrations, it's four.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48What we were considering was not necessarily the blade
0:46:48 > 0:46:49but actually the sheath.
0:46:49 > 0:46:54So our thinking is that he uses the weapon during the assault,
0:46:54 > 0:46:57he has got the sheath with him, it would appear,
0:46:57 > 0:47:00so the most likely thing is that he's used the knife
0:47:00 > 0:47:02and he's immediately put it into the sheath,
0:47:02 > 0:47:04so he probably even hasn't had a chance to wipe it,
0:47:04 > 0:47:07so we might get blood from inside the sheath.
0:47:17 > 0:47:18It looks like blood.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20There is some further back here.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27That's a strong positive.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29It's indicative of blood.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35Blood is found on both the knife and the sheath.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39Samples are sent off for DNA comparison to the victim.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43- Have you got a close-up of that? - Yes.- Cool.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48The Crown Prosecution Service authorised the police
0:47:48 > 0:47:51to charge Joshua Clements with attempted murder.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03OK, so this operation concerns four addresses
0:48:03 > 0:48:05owned and/or controlled by Archer,
0:48:05 > 0:48:09and two vehicles where warrants will be executed simultaneously tonight.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12In Stratford, Vicky Neil is leading over 100 officers
0:48:12 > 0:48:17in a series of raids on suspected brothels owned by David Archer.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19There are going to be both sex workers and punters
0:48:19 > 0:48:20at each location.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Neither of these are to be treated criminally
0:48:22 > 0:48:25because we need them to give us evidence that these places
0:48:25 > 0:48:27are being run as brothels, all right?
0:48:27 > 0:48:29We are not there to nick them. Please note.
0:48:33 > 0:48:34You all right, mate?
0:48:36 > 0:48:39That's just us now making our way down so we should be with you
0:48:39 > 0:48:41in about figures ten.
0:48:41 > 0:48:45David Archer both owns and controls a significant property portfolio
0:48:45 > 0:48:48with approximately £15 million in assets.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51The offences that we're looking at on for him are human trafficking
0:48:51 > 0:48:53for the purposes of sexual exploitation,
0:48:53 > 0:48:56controlling prostitution for gain, false accounting,
0:48:56 > 0:48:57fraudulent evasion of tax,
0:48:57 > 0:49:00and sexual assault by penetration.
0:49:00 > 0:49:01This guy thinks he's untouchable -
0:49:01 > 0:49:03tonight is going to be a little bit different.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05Yes, yes, all received. Venue three, venue one,
0:49:05 > 0:49:08what's your current location? Over.
0:49:13 > 0:49:18All venues, all venues, that's go-go, all venues.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31Right, I've got keys for all rooms here.
0:49:36 > 0:49:37Do you understand English?
0:49:37 > 0:49:40- Yes.- Yeah?- Ah, yeah.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50Says a few people have been detained.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:49:53 > 0:49:54Hello. Police.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57At the Travel Inn, police go from room to room
0:49:57 > 0:50:00checking IDs of the guests.
0:50:00 > 0:50:02Are you friends?
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Ah, OK.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08We have quite a lot of girls in the premises
0:50:08 > 0:50:10and there are also a lot of Romanian males
0:50:10 > 0:50:12at the back of the premises, as well.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14What's happening is it would appear that they are saying
0:50:14 > 0:50:17that they are partners, that the males, the Romanian males
0:50:17 > 0:50:19are the partners to the girls that are in there
0:50:19 > 0:50:22and they're not particularly forthcoming at the minute,
0:50:22 > 0:50:25so not sure we are going to get many victims on board at this address.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27Is she a prostitute here at the hotel?
0:50:29 > 0:50:30SHE SPEAKS HER OWN LANGUAGE
0:50:33 > 0:50:35I think I got that. Is that a no?
0:50:35 > 0:50:38Yeah. All right, OK. Cheers.
0:50:42 > 0:50:46Directly opposite the Travel Inn is another of Archer's properties...
0:50:47 > 0:50:48..a private house
0:50:48 > 0:50:51that Vicky suspects may be operating as a brothel.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08- Do you live here?- No.
0:51:08 > 0:51:10- Do you work here?- Yes.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12And what do you work, what do you do?
0:51:12 > 0:51:14- Hmm?- What work?- Sex.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16Sex, OK.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18How many girls operate here?
0:51:18 > 0:51:20How many girls are in here now?
0:51:20 > 0:51:24- There's five. - There's five girls, OK.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27Money amounts to £20,000,
0:51:27 > 0:51:30so it really links, and we might even find places
0:51:30 > 0:51:32that we are not even aware of. Like, are you aware of that?
0:51:32 > 0:51:37- No.- See, so it's a much wider picture
0:51:37 > 0:51:39about what's actually happening here.
0:51:50 > 0:51:51The girls who are here hire the room,
0:51:51 > 0:51:54they see a couple of punters, and they go,
0:51:54 > 0:51:55so they don't, in fact, live here.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57They just use the rooms for prostitution.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00- Yeah, yeah.- Those are been covered with statements at the moment.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02All right, no worries.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05Eight women found working at the house
0:52:05 > 0:52:09agree to attend a reception centre for vulnerable sex workers.
0:52:11 > 0:52:15The council lads reckon all of this section has been built
0:52:15 > 0:52:18in the last three weeks, so, no planning permission.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20There's two flats there,
0:52:20 > 0:52:23there's three under there, two on top.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26They think that there's 24 rooms in here
0:52:26 > 0:52:29that are being used for prostitution.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31You just can't have this.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34This used to be probably a three or four-bedroom house
0:52:34 > 0:52:38that's now been turned into a 24-bedroom brothel.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45At the top of the house are two locked doors.
0:52:45 > 0:52:47I can't hear anybody but we'll have to get entry.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49We'll see if we can get some keys.
0:52:50 > 0:52:54With the premises secure, every room is opened.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58Financial investigators and a search team with cash dogs
0:52:58 > 0:53:01move in to look for evidence.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04The residential premises is very clearly being run as a brothel.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07We suspected that it was going to be similar.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09I had no idea it was going to be on this scale.
0:53:09 > 0:53:12You've got CCTV of most of the rooms.
0:53:12 > 0:53:16Drawers, I mean you can see there, you've got condoms...
0:53:18 > 0:53:20..a vast array of lubrication.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Business cards.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26It says, "Open 12 to 2am, seven days a week in Stratford."
0:53:28 > 0:53:29That's not nice.
0:53:29 > 0:53:31Two secs. Yes?
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Oh, shit. Is it in the safe, Barry?
0:53:34 > 0:53:36- No, it's in the shower. - Oh, it's in the shower!
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Let's go and have a look. Right, stay with me.
0:53:40 > 0:53:41Oh, have the dogs found it?
0:53:41 > 0:53:42Good girls!
0:53:44 > 0:53:47The locked rooms at the top of the house have been opened.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51One of them is Archer's bedroom.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55Holy shit!
0:53:55 > 0:53:57Oh, my goodness gracious me.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59We have just found a whole load of money in Archer's room.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01OK, yeah.
0:54:02 > 0:54:06One...two... 20 wraps of 50s and 20s.
0:54:06 > 0:54:07Oh! I couldn't even tell you, Gaynor,
0:54:07 > 0:54:09I wouldn't even like to hazard a guess, would you, Dave?
0:54:11 > 0:54:16Hidden in the bathroom are bags containing over £100,000 in cash.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19This is obviously someone that probably instils fear
0:54:19 > 0:54:21in the girls, that runs the girls,
0:54:21 > 0:54:24and he's quite happy to obviously leave this money,
0:54:24 > 0:54:27thinking they're never going to touch it, you know?
0:54:27 > 0:54:30It's like a massive criminal enterprise, you know,
0:54:30 > 0:54:33in the millions, and this is probably just the tip of the iceberg
0:54:33 > 0:54:35in relation to what this person is worth.
0:54:49 > 0:54:53David Archer has been arrested by a team of detectives
0:54:53 > 0:54:55and taken into custody.
0:54:55 > 0:54:59- Mr Archer.- Hi, are you all right?
0:54:59 > 0:55:01David, come this way, come and speak to me.
0:55:05 > 0:55:09The Crown Prosecution Service have authorised two charges.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13You have intentionally controlled activities of other persons
0:55:13 > 0:55:15in relation to their prostitution
0:55:15 > 0:55:18in expectation of gain for yourself.
0:55:19 > 0:55:23The second offence, you concealed, disguised, converted,
0:55:23 > 0:55:26transferred or removed criminal property,
0:55:26 > 0:55:30namely approximately £120,000 cash.
0:55:30 > 0:55:36That is an offence contrary to section 327 (1) and 334
0:55:36 > 0:55:38for the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45You don't need to be looking at the camera,
0:55:45 > 0:55:47all you need to do is sign in that box there.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50I've read the charge to you. Are you willing to sign the charge?
0:55:50 > 0:55:52Thank you.
0:55:54 > 0:55:55It is really, really satisfying.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58We have been working on this case now for the last six months,
0:55:58 > 0:56:01and, you know, as the investigation unravels,
0:56:01 > 0:56:03you learn more and more about these people, and especially
0:56:03 > 0:56:06now seeing him in custody, that, for me, is really satisfying.
0:56:06 > 0:56:07I mean, yeah, that's good.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09A lot of work gone into it but, yeah, it's brilliant.
0:56:09 > 0:56:11You couldn't have asked for a better result, really.
0:56:20 > 0:56:23Two months on from the Hyde Park disorder,
0:56:23 > 0:56:27DNA results have confirmed that the knife from Joshua Clements' bedroom
0:56:27 > 0:56:30was the weapon used in the Park Lane stabbing...
0:56:31 > 0:56:34..but the discovery of a second victim's blood on the knife
0:56:34 > 0:56:38also links him to an earlier stabbing inside Hyde Park.
0:56:40 > 0:56:45What's happened is Mr Clements has used the knife on our first victim,
0:56:45 > 0:56:47put it into the sheath, and in doing so
0:56:47 > 0:56:50he's partially wiped some of the blood from the blade
0:56:50 > 0:56:52into the leather sheath.
0:56:52 > 0:56:57He's then used it on another victim and put it back into the sheath,
0:56:57 > 0:57:01so we've ended up with two samples of blood going into the same sheath.
0:57:01 > 0:57:04The weight of evidence is so compelling,
0:57:04 > 0:57:07it's a mini crimewave by one individual.
