This programme contains some strong language.

:00:00.:00:00.

This programme also contains some scenes which some

:00:00.:00:00.

Keep your hands on your head! Do not move! London... Get out of the way!

:00:00.:00:21.

Home to over 8.5 million people. This Taser is capable of delivering

:00:22.:00:27.

50,000 volts. The task of protecting them. The country's biggest police

:00:28.:00:33.

force. You're under arrest. Metropolitan Police. Show me your

:00:34.:00:44.

hands! In a single year they are called to 90,000 robberies and

:00:45.:00:53.

burglaries. Oh my goodness. 100 murders. You have been identified as

:00:54.:00:59.

being responsible for murder. And make more than 190,000 arrests. Gun!

:01:00.:01:13.

You have unlawfully and maliciously caused grievous bodily harm. It is a

:01:14.:01:25.

force seen by some as the enemy. Black people growing up around here

:01:26.:01:31.

feel that the police is against them. My driver has had his head

:01:32.:01:38.

split open and another opposite was stabbed in the back of the head. As

:01:39.:01:44.

they deal with life... What are you doing when you are 13 using language

:01:45.:01:49.

like that? Death, crime and its victims. We lock up the bad people

:01:50.:01:54.

so people like you can sleep safe and sound. 24-hour is. -- 24 hours a

:01:55.:02:01.

day. Nearly 200,000 people are arrested

:02:02.:02:12.

in London each year. All spent time in one of the Met's 36 police

:02:13.:02:20.

custody suites. Where is it, number ten? Hold him there.

:02:21.:02:27.

You and your foul mouth, you are some expression. That is exactly

:02:28.:02:36.

what you are. Sober up in the. Been drinking although. His flat map and

:02:37.:02:45.

he had a disagreement over Brexit. He has punched out some teeth.

:02:46.:02:50.

Brixton custody in south London is the busiest in the capital. Today

:02:51.:02:54.

after the inspector Brian Smith could be responsible for up to 40

:02:55.:02:59.

days unease. Anything I could do to make your state more comfortable? I

:03:00.:03:03.

will get the blanket, if you need anything, let me know. My job is to

:03:04.:03:08.

make sure no one comes to any harm and everybody leaves here safe and

:03:09.:03:12.

well, the staff and the detainees. What a friendly chap. Needy is the

:03:13.:03:21.

word we use, they can be very needy. Brian and his team process the

:03:22.:03:24.

detainees as they arise and manage their detention. What is your first

:03:25.:03:34.

name? Mickey. Your last name? Mouse. We deal with everything from murder,

:03:35.:03:38.

the most serious crimes right down to the most insignificant. Do you

:03:39.:03:45.

know what was stay one that track stolen? 41 bars of chocolate. You

:03:46.:03:52.

abuse your powers! Brixton lies in the heart of London borough with the

:03:53.:03:57.

highest levels of mental illness in the country. I don't care! I'm going

:03:58.:04:01.

to kill myself. The man is known to us. He is known

:04:02.:04:17.

for being violent, he had mental health issues, suicide issues, and

:04:18.:04:23.

also has a massive bandage on his arm where he has cut himself. And

:04:24.:04:27.

when he was in prison he tried to hang himself. With his behaviour,

:04:28.:04:34.

the restraints will reduce any injuries to himself and to my

:04:35.:04:39.

colleagues. It's not great, don't get me wrong, I don't enjoy doing

:04:40.:04:42.

that but you have got to do it and manage it as best you can.

:04:43.:04:54.

SCREAMING. In an urban -- in another cell a suspect has stripped naked

:04:55.:04:59.

and is refusing to go to court. He has you related. Excellent. What was

:05:00.:05:05.

his name? Martin. He wants to be known as Lucifer. Lucifer, hello, my

:05:06.:05:15.

name is Paul. I'm from the TSG, basically we are the riot police. We

:05:16.:05:20.

got to take to court. I want you to know the levels of course we may use

:05:21.:05:24.

against you. Honestly we will start off with conversation.

:05:25.:05:29.

OK. You've got a bad heart? He's been arrested for shoplifting matter

:05:30.:05:39.

and racially abusing people in the shop.

:05:40.:05:43.

You just spat at me, please don't spit at me. No worries. When he came

:05:44.:05:57.

in yesterday he was arguing, kicking and screaming that he had been

:05:58.:06:00.

unlawfully arrested and this morning he doesn't want to leave. He has

:06:01.:06:05.

nowhere else to state and he is warm and fed here and looked after.

:06:06.:06:09.

Honestly tried to engage with them to me as quite aggressive. I will

:06:10.:06:13.

brief my officers and get them to the top and we will do a self

:06:14.:06:17.

extraction. Anybody got their Superman Punch on? And did I mention

:06:18.:06:24.

he has urinated everywhere in the cell so the floor will be slippery

:06:25.:06:31.

-- Superman pants. This group are often brought in to help with

:06:32.:06:36.

difficult and violent offenders. They are specialists in riot

:06:37.:06:40.

control, usually policing public disorders and large scale process.

:06:41.:06:43.

We can't use CS gas because we would have to evacuate the area, we can't

:06:44.:06:48.

use bat on strike soap contingency could be Taser. -- can't use

:06:49.:06:56.

strike. We will open the door and do verbal, he edition and get him to

:06:57.:07:05.

cooperate and if he does not we will use reasonable force to him from the

:07:06.:07:10.

cell. I would imagine there is some mental health issues so we make sure

:07:11.:07:14.

we are aware of that. If I shout get Tim Don we will get him, do the

:07:15.:07:19.

Taser think if it works. His name is Lucifer. Get back from the door!

:07:20.:07:32.

This is a Taser, that is 50,000 bolts. Any violent and it may be

:07:33.:07:38.

used against you. Step back from the door. What.

:07:39.:07:49.

Spin amounts. You can lift your arms now. Walk forwards. Listen to my

:07:50.:07:57.

voice. Listen to my voice and you will be

:07:58.:08:18.

OK. Walk slowly. Keep walking. Watch the poll. Mental health is becoming

:08:19.:08:26.

more common in custody in my experience. Step up there. We have

:08:27.:08:33.

reduced services within the NHS, we become a stopgap. And we perhaps get

:08:34.:08:37.

people coming into custody when they should not be. We have a duty of

:08:38.:08:44.

care to make sure they are safe. BLEEP. Everyone else OK. We deal

:08:45.:08:53.

with people who are violent by their nature or by what they happen and

:08:54.:08:58.

the job can be challenging. I was off for six weeks last year with a

:08:59.:09:02.

broken arm after somebody went berserk. I had a broken back in 2000

:09:03.:09:06.

after another went crazy. I have had my fair share of assaults. Why do

:09:07.:09:11.

you still do it? I love it, it's good fun!

:09:12.:09:23.

Next week are taking you to the Tower of London -- to South London

:09:24.:09:30.

for an upsetting story, a serial animal killer is operating there. A

:09:31.:09:36.

large number of mutilated cats bound in Croydon has stoked rumours that

:09:37.:09:41.

the killer might be on the loose. My cats don't go out, I wouldn't allow

:09:42.:09:46.

them out at all. If the chopping them up? The whole Chinese kebabs

:09:47.:09:53.

meat thing or what? Who's to say they couldn't stab a human being or

:09:54.:10:02.

whatever. He must be captured ASAP. Four animals have been reported that

:10:03.:10:08.

having suffered what investigators described as a trademark

:10:09.:10:12.

mutilations. The killer has been described as the Croydon cat ripper

:10:13.:10:18.

so keep your cat indoors. The Met have responded to public concern by

:10:19.:10:23.

handing the case to Detective Andy: who is more used to investigating

:10:24.:10:27.

gangs and organised crime. Without doubt the strangest case I have

:10:28.:10:34.

dealt with. Why would you do that? Many of the bodies had been found in

:10:35.:10:38.

the street and gardens surrounding a part in Addis come. It used to be a

:10:39.:10:44.

railway track that has been grassed over and it is used by a lot of cats

:10:45.:10:48.

especially overnight because it borders the houses will stop we

:10:49.:10:53.

think the cats had been taken from inside this part possibly. Where

:10:54.:10:58.

these dots are art where the bodies have been found and it all centres

:10:59.:11:02.

around this part. You have reports of 20 odd caps that are missing or

:11:03.:11:10.

have been found mutilated. Heads or tails removed. Fox would it away if

:11:11.:11:16.

they are not eating it. We have had cats left in a front garden, on a

:11:17.:11:21.

piece of grass like this where somebody will see it, and they are

:11:22.:11:26.

laid out. The problem is that whoever is doing this is good in

:11:27.:11:30.

seemingly come at what they do and for this but never to feature on

:11:31.:11:35.

CCTV is quite impressive and they are under the radar. There is

:11:36.:11:40.

planning and thought involved. The suspect could face charges of

:11:41.:11:44.

criminal damage and animal cruelty. It is a serious offence and

:11:45.:11:47.

affecting the confidence of people around here. Everybody knows about

:11:48.:11:51.

it, there is pressure to get this done as soon as we can.

:11:52.:11:58.

That was probably a few months before his sad demise. He had been

:11:59.:12:09.

cut from throat to stomach and I believe his intestines were removed.

:12:10.:12:16.

Andy believes that this cat was the killer's first victim. We were so

:12:17.:12:23.

lucky we did not find him on our doorstep because that image would

:12:24.:12:26.

always be in our heads and every time you go out the front door you

:12:27.:12:30.

might think, oh my God, what is there. Hearing about the brutality

:12:31.:12:35.

of it has just upset us and we are still not over it now. He was part

:12:36.:12:40.

of our family and we miss him terribly. Penny's son Richard might

:12:41.:12:47.

be one of the only people who is caught a glimpse of the killer. I

:12:48.:12:53.

was walking through the passageway, where I believe they took the cat

:12:54.:12:58.

from gun at two in the morning. I think he might have had about stick

:12:59.:13:06.

going through the fence. He was there and he kind of stopped and he

:13:07.:13:09.

was looking like this across the land not wanting to see me. I have

:13:10.:13:14.

walked through to the end of the alleyway. When I came back at the

:13:15.:13:17.

other end, they were literally around this -- like this around the

:13:18.:13:22.

wall. If somebody is doing that at two in the morning, they are up to

:13:23.:13:26.

no good. It was only the next morning when I said I'd thought I

:13:27.:13:31.

saw this mouse toy that mum found one on Amazon and the YouTube video

:13:32.:13:37.

and the sound was the same as what I heard off this toy. It goes to show,

:13:38.:13:49.

he can use them as a lure, the cat doesn't care about anything else

:13:50.:13:54.

apart from that and if you can get it hooked then you have time to grab

:13:55.:14:00.

hold of it. I have approached three of four manufacturers in the UK and

:14:01.:14:03.

they have supplied me with details of people who are put them in this

:14:04.:14:09.

area. But you can go into pretty much any toy shop and buy them you

:14:10.:14:14.

will never get the full list of who has got what. But let's see. Andy

:14:15.:14:25.

has brought in a specialist in animal forensic pathology to carry

:14:26.:14:33.

out postmortems on 19 of the cats. Just a cursory glance at this scam,

:14:34.:14:37.

you can see the head is missing and the tail as well. I have seen

:14:38.:14:42.

decapitations before, I have seen tail amputations before and limb

:14:43.:14:47.

applications but this number of animals, I have never seen anything

:14:48.:14:51.

as bizarre as this. He needs to determine if all the cats have died

:14:52.:14:54.

in the same way and whether it is the work of a single person. It is

:14:55.:14:57.

overlapping the wound. This is the left medial thigh. All

:14:58.:15:09.

these injuries so far are consistent with a blunt force injuries to the

:15:10.:15:17.

animal. The animal is open along its entirety revealing the organs, or

:15:18.:15:23.

what's left of them. It is strange. What we've got here is a clump of

:15:24.:15:30.

hair, and you can see it's been cut across, so this is indicative of a

:15:31.:15:34.

blade being used at some point during the handling of this animal.

:15:35.:15:40.

And there's muscle crushing against the exposed bone, suggestive of the

:15:41.:15:46.

blade and possibly a hinged instrument, such as secateurs or

:15:47.:15:50.

garden shears. Important that there is no blood within the fur all

:15:51.:15:55.

around the wound. There would be blood staining if this had happened

:15:56.:16:01.

in life. Of the cases we've seen, the winds have all followed this

:16:02.:16:05.

pattern, so I would be fairly confident in saying it is the same

:16:06.:16:09.

person performing these mutilations across these animals. To think that

:16:10.:16:14.

this is done by a human hand does make it quite concerning. London,

:16:15.:16:28.

the seat of the UK Government, plays host to over 250 large-scale protest

:16:29.:16:34.

events every year. Many of us around the table will have been part of the

:16:35.:16:41.

great May Days, the June 18s, the various protests. We are always

:16:42.:16:46.

balancing the issue of the right to freedom of speech, the freedom of

:16:47.:16:51.

assembly, against our core duties and responsibilities to prevent

:16:52.:16:56.

crime, keep the peace, public safety, to keep people safe and

:16:57.:17:02.

catch baddies. A public order team are preparing for the annual

:17:03.:17:06.

anti-capitalist Million Mask March. It is probably the single biggest

:17:07.:17:15.

protest event in terms of challenge that the Metropolitan Police faces

:17:16.:17:20.

in its fluid nature, its potential for serious disorder, high profile

:17:21.:17:26.

in terms of an Anand -- and international arena, because this is

:17:27.:17:37.

a worldwide event. At the last demonstration, there were angry

:17:38.:17:39.

clashes between protesters and police. Chaos spreads to the west

:17:40.:17:50.

end, causing damage to businesses and resulting in 50 arrests on the

:17:51.:17:58.

night. One of the issues from last year, a vehicle got trashed. Nobody

:17:59.:18:03.

would let me know whose car it was, but it did get trashed, and that

:18:04.:18:08.

became the focal point. By the time the Daily Mirror got it and had cut

:18:09.:18:11.

and pasted so many different victors, it looked like a battle

:18:12.:18:17.

zone London. On a number of occasions last time, we created a

:18:18.:18:21.

crowd. We put a chord in, because we didn't know what else to do. That is

:18:22.:18:26.

the way we have historically trained. As soon as you put a cordon

:18:27.:18:37.

on, by definition you have a crowd. This year, commanders want a more

:18:38.:18:39.

proactive approach to reduce confrontation with protesters. Four

:18:40.:18:43.

weeks before the event, they are developing new crowd control tactics

:18:44.:18:47.

at a replica town built in a secret location. There we have it. That was

:18:48.:18:57.

very quick, quite slick. The arrest team came from the narrow alleyway

:18:58.:19:04.

to the left, went to the crowd, went in and extracted a target. This time

:19:05.:19:08.

we need to intervene, interact safely. Supermarket sweep. So grab

:19:09.:19:21.

and drop, effectively. The supermarket sweep is a reactionary

:19:22.:19:26.

tactic used to quickly remove the apparent ringleader from the crowd,

:19:27.:19:31.

in this case, the man in the striped shirt, before the situation

:19:32.:19:32.

escalates. Large crowds are expected at the

:19:33.:19:47.

Million Mask March, and it may be challenging to successfully extract

:19:48.:19:50.

troublemakers. We would need to know before we go in where our exit is as

:19:51.:19:55.

well, and what the options are. You work your way through a crowd... To

:19:56.:20:00.

have the best chance of success, police will use a tactic known as a

:20:01.:20:06.

bubble, where a large group of officers encircle a suspect to

:20:07.:20:13.

isolate and remove them from the situation. My fear is that we do end

:20:14.:20:17.

up with large property damage and members of the public and police

:20:18.:20:20.

officers injured. That wouldn't be acceptable. I was the person

:20:21.:20:28.

responsible for this event in 2014. It certainly kept me awake then, and

:20:29.:20:32.

I would anticipate a couple of sleepless nights on the run-up to

:20:33.:20:34.

the event this year. I dependent on alcohol, drugs,

:20:35.:20:55.

solvents or anything else? Cannabis? Have you had any alcohol or drugs in

:20:56.:21:02.

the last 24 hours? No. It is the day shift in Brixton custody. I will put

:21:03.:21:09.

you through. A man has handed himself in after being reported for

:21:10.:21:14.

breaching his protection order in relation to a child sex offence.

:21:15.:21:20.

This man was convicted at Woolwich Crown Court for a sex offence that

:21:21.:21:25.

has placed him on the sex offenders register. He's not allowed to meet

:21:26.:21:29.

any child in a private Place who is under 16 without written consent of

:21:30.:21:37.

that trial's parent or guardian. John visited a school to read his

:21:38.:21:42.

self published book to a class of four-year-olds, but failed to tell

:21:43.:21:46.

the school about his previous convictions. Is there anyone who was

:21:47.:21:49.

dependent on you who could be affected by you being here? My

:21:50.:21:55.

mother. She had a fall at 7:30am this morning. I need to make contact

:21:56.:22:01.

with her at some stage. Hello, sir. I will try your mum now. Thank you.

:22:02.:22:11.

Hello. I need to fill you in as to what has happened.

:22:12.:22:23.

Two years ago, John was convicted of two counts of sexual assault against

:22:24.:22:30.

a nine-year-old boy, and was sentenced to 16 months in prison. He

:22:31.:22:35.

also pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children. I made

:22:36.:22:43.

a massive mistake in committing my offence, and it was a sexual assault

:22:44.:22:52.

on a pupil. I placed my hand on the outside of a child's trousers. And

:22:53.:23:02.

that's why I was convicted. I think I've given myself a harder time

:23:03.:23:06.

about it than anybody else could possibly, and I've grown beyond

:23:07.:23:14.

that, but as you can see, I'm not being allowed to escape it, to prove

:23:15.:23:23.

to anybody that I'm not that person any more. I had a blip, for

:23:24.:23:30.

goodness' sake. I taught for 18 years, and didn't set a foot wrong.

:23:31.:23:38.

It was a minute of madness in my life, and I've thrown away a

:23:39.:23:43.

teaching career as a result of it, and I've suffered enough. You came

:23:44.:23:48.

to the school. You were there to talk about a book. That's correct.

:23:49.:23:56.

The book is called Sammy the Homeless Bear. Sammy, the hero of

:23:57.:24:02.

the story, gets lost. He's adopted by a homeless man, and eventually,

:24:03.:24:07.

the homeless man goes to crisis at Christmas and says, we are going to

:24:08.:24:11.

find you a real home, Sammy, and puts him in the charity shop. A

:24:12.:24:20.

sharp story with a happy ending. The visit that has caused a technical

:24:21.:24:27.

breach of my SOPO came because I had no idea that a classroom in the

:24:28.:24:33.

company of two teachers and a classroom assistant actually

:24:34.:24:36.

qualified as a private Place, which I would like to be able to say was

:24:37.:24:42.

an innocent mistake. Did you not think it was risky? Of course it

:24:43.:24:52.

occurred to me that it might not be very... Sensible in terms of safety.

:24:53.:25:01.

That's not to say that I had any notion that I was going to breach my

:25:02.:25:08.

SOPO by visiting the school at all. You've admitted that is an error on

:25:09.:25:16.

your part? Yes. OK. I propose to discontinue the interview. The time

:25:17.:25:27.

is 1621 PM. Whether John is given bail or remanded in prison is in the

:25:28.:25:33.

hands of custody Sergeant Simon Reason. The officers told me he

:25:34.:25:37.

breached his conditions by going to a school and reading stories to

:25:38.:25:41.

young children, so having contact with young children without the

:25:42.:25:44.

written consent of their parents. His order prevents him from doing

:25:45.:25:48.

that. He's gone there and had contact with a vulnerable young

:25:49.:25:52.

people who had no say or power over whether they had contact with him or

:25:53.:25:57.

not. John, has my colleague told you what happened? That I am due to

:25:58.:26:04.

appear in court tomorrow. The Crown Prosecution Service have made a

:26:05.:26:08.

decision to charge you. It's my decision to give you bail or not. I

:26:09.:26:13.

am going to refuse you bail. You have a previous conviction for

:26:14.:26:17.

breaching such an order, so I'm concerned that you may commit

:26:18.:26:20.

further offences by breaching the order. Said to keep me in custody

:26:21.:26:26.

after... Yes, you remain in prison on remand. Thanks, John. Worryingly

:26:27.:26:38.

in control. Not fazed by it at all. He's not stupid. He knows exactly

:26:39.:26:43.

what he was doing, and he has a desire to be near young children.

:26:44.:26:48.

He's putting himself purposely in that environment. He knows that he

:26:49.:26:52.

has children very close to him. What ever he wants to do, grooming or

:26:53.:26:56.

whatever, or just being close to them. He was probably leading up to

:26:57.:27:00.

offending again. I can't see any other reason why you would do it.

:27:01.:27:04.

You know all the restrictions placed against you. Your order tells you

:27:05.:27:09.

not to be with kids. There's no excuse.

:27:10.:27:18.

I'm ringing in relation to your cat. Sorry to hear about what happened

:27:19.:27:25.

last week. Not the nicest thing to find on your lawn in the morning.

:27:26.:27:30.

All leave in the search for the Croydon cat killer are going

:27:31.:27:35.

nowhere. The body count is rising by the week. Evidence suggests the

:27:36.:27:40.

culprit is widening his net. He is known as the Croydon cat killer,

:27:41.:27:45.

which is catchy, but it's not. He's pushing the boundary of the M25.

:27:46.:27:50.

It's hard for me as a DS in Croydon to be dealing with offences locally,

:27:51.:27:55.

let alone places outside the area. Was there much in the way of blood

:27:56.:27:59.

where the cat was found? It is also harder, when we don't know who it

:28:00.:28:05.

is, we are looking at a place where nine or 10 million people live and

:28:06.:28:16.

work. Andy is travelling 11 miles away from Croydon to visit the owner

:28:17.:28:18.

of Merlin, the latest cat to be found dead. We've had him for six or

:28:19.:28:24.

seven years. Had him since he was a kitten. Was Merlin all Black? Yes,

:28:25.:28:29.

with three little white hairs on his chest. We normally keep our cats in

:28:30.:28:36.

at night. But that night he ran out. It's not unusual for him to go out

:28:37.:28:40.

during the night if he manages to sneak out, so I didn't really think

:28:41.:28:45.

anything of it, until the next day he didn't come back for breakfast.

:28:46.:28:53.

Some binmen had been asking if anyone was missing a black cat. They

:28:54.:28:58.

said, don't go and look. There wasn't much of him. He had been

:28:59.:29:06.

decapitated. His limb was gone, and he had been essentially gutted. So,

:29:07.:29:13.

obviously, for everyone, it's been not very nice. It's an all too

:29:14.:29:22.

familiar story, I'm afraid. Taking the heads off has been quite

:29:23.:29:28.

commonplace. What we are finding is that the cats are taken local to

:29:29.:29:32.

home and they are displayed local to home. If you had found him outside

:29:33.:29:37.

your front door, you would have found him outside your front door.

:29:38.:29:42.

-- if he had found him. It's quite likely. A lot of people I deal with

:29:43.:29:51.

in the police world, you've got the cat job, hah, hah. People don't

:29:52.:29:57.

realise the effect these sorts of things have on people. When you are

:29:58.:30:00.

dealing with people's feelings, it does ensure that you want to stop

:30:01.:30:05.

it, and you really do need to. I've got to bring a tent somehow.

:30:06.:30:13.

There was an Edgware cat some distance from us which was prior to

:30:14.:30:21.

the 8th of March. Andy has called in profiling expert from the National

:30:22.:30:24.

Crime Agency to shed light on the identity of the killer. Even when

:30:25.:30:31.

they are trying to be random, and they think they will fall the

:30:32.:30:37.

police, they will be linked to where they had been travelling. The fact

:30:38.:30:42.

that they stopped there, you can't overlook there, you can't look

:30:43.:30:47.

anywhere else. It is all going up in this one area. But if the hotspot.

:30:48.:30:52.

That is where they are likely to have a connection and an anchor

:30:53.:30:56.

point. Pippa Gregory is a specialist in criminal behaviour and has helped

:30:57.:30:59.

to catch serial killers and rapists. It is not your average animal

:31:00.:31:07.

abuser. You get plenty of those, stabbing cat, stuck with a neighbour

:31:08.:31:16.

but it is the postmortem mutilation and the need to deposit which is

:31:17.:31:21.

interesting. We don't know many of these individuals but those that we

:31:22.:31:24.

do know about have been found to have really quite dark and deviant

:31:25.:31:30.

sexual fantasies. That is not to say they are doing this to make up for

:31:31.:31:36.

that, but there seems to be that they are getting gratification from

:31:37.:31:43.

the fences and the mutilation of the cats but they also have within them

:31:44.:31:48.

fantasies about mutilating or offending or killing or raping

:31:49.:31:53.

humans. Your offender is getting gratification from this and it is a

:31:54.:31:56.

question of how long it lasts. That is where the danger comes but it

:31:57.:32:02.

doesn't help you find him. The criminal side, the psychology around

:32:03.:32:07.

that was very interesting. The pushing towards sexual violent

:32:08.:32:09.

fantasies around that, the assumption that it is compulsive

:32:10.:32:14.

baby and when that gratification stops people look for something

:32:15.:32:19.

else. It is the first time -- the compulsive behaviour. It is the

:32:20.:32:24.

first time that you wake up and think, this is what will happen if

:32:25.:32:27.

we don't solve it. It will happen unless we solve it. It has come as a

:32:28.:32:31.

bit of a kick today. In a few hours' time, thousands of

:32:32.:32:48.

anti-capitalist demonstrators will descend on central London for the

:32:49.:32:55.

annual Million Mask March. This might be a long night and it is

:32:56.:33:00.

going to be cold. Go out and be prepared. There are flares and

:33:01.:33:02.

fireworks coming to this event, lots of them. It is the real test for us

:33:03.:33:11.

to deal with nights like this. We're not going to let London be smashed

:33:12.:33:21.

up. We have the palaces, the Houses of Parliament, government, any of

:33:22.:33:26.

that gets damaged and it is international news. And with what is

:33:27.:33:30.

a busy capital city on Saturday night, all of those other policing

:33:31.:33:36.

issues to deal with as well. The police presence has been

:33:37.:33:39.

dramatically increased this year with 3000 officers costing in excess

:33:40.:33:44.

of ?1 million. The last thing we ever want at a public order event is

:33:45.:33:51.

mass arrests but if that is what it takes this year to protect central

:33:52.:33:55.

London, that is what we will do and we are geared up for it.

:33:56.:34:02.

It is 6pm and protesters are bidding to assemble in Trafalgar Square. The

:34:03.:34:10.

Met's other tactic is to position liaison officers like Keith in the

:34:11.:34:16.

heart of the protest to try to establish rapport between the police

:34:17.:34:19.

and the protesters. When people arrived we the first they meet,

:34:20.:34:23.

hopefully people will recognise us as being a friendly face policing,

:34:24.:34:29.

not that there are unfriendly faces. Some of the messages going out on

:34:30.:34:33.

social media have been disturbing. You look like nice people. This

:34:34.:34:40.

group hate us, absolutely hate us. They don't feel as if there should

:34:41.:34:44.

be policed in the crowd at all. We are always conscious that there are

:34:45.:34:48.

people here that may want to harm us and we are constantly carrying out a

:34:49.:34:51.

dynamic risk assessments to make sure things are safe. We are

:34:52.:34:57.

supposed to be in a democracy where everyone has the right to have an

:34:58.:35:02.

opinion. If you look at it, we are under dictatorship from the rich

:35:03.:35:06.

because the government do what favours the rich and not the common

:35:07.:35:10.

man. Violence needs to kick off so they can understand it is the

:35:11.:35:19.

majority speaking. You are enjoying yourself. Marched out of parliament,

:35:20.:35:25.

have some fun, no trouble. -- down to Parliament. The only reason these

:35:26.:35:31.

conditions have been put on is because of violence and disorder in

:35:32.:35:32.

the past. It is the most exhausting role in

:35:33.:35:43.

public order policing I have ever done, it is really difficult. The

:35:44.:35:50.

conditions are on events so we can make informed decisions. Trying to

:35:51.:35:53.

establish a rapport with people who have no wish to have a report with

:35:54.:35:55.

police. You're asking me a question. That's why I'm here, to make sure

:35:56.:36:09.

people like you can have your say, that's why we are here.

:36:10.:36:17.

Our streets our streets! Have a good night, lads.

:36:18.:36:32.

All policing is being directed from the special operations room by

:36:33.:36:56.

police superintendent Jim Reid also known as silver command. Any urgent

:36:57.:37:02.

issues to Dick -- to discuss. Commander B J Harrington is known in

:37:03.:37:08.

command of the whole operation known as Gold command. We're working

:37:09.:37:11.

through the plan, a lot of engagement and differentiation.

:37:12.:37:28.

Event being committed. That is explosive start there. -- explosive

:37:29.:37:40.

stuff. My tolerance towards fireworks being fired like that is

:37:41.:37:44.

getting very thin. Can we focus our intervention on those please?

:37:45.:37:53.

If they are clearly not complying with the section 12 conditions are

:37:54.:38:03.

expected to start making arrests. Graduating response, opportunity to

:38:04.:38:09.

comply. The police use their supermarket sweep manoeuvre to

:38:10.:38:11.

arrest protest is throwing fireworks. You can see officers

:38:12.:38:18.

looking like they are making an intervention.

:38:19.:38:24.

But it is proving tricky to remove troublemakers from the crowd.

:38:25.:38:40.

Bubble! Bubble! That is the tactics we were refreshing them with can

:38:41.:38:43.

make the arrest, bubble, protect them. With the suspect isolated in

:38:44.:38:51.

the bubble, protesters surround the police giving them nowhere to go.

:38:52.:39:02.

Information is they are going to burst through the part imminently,

:39:03.:39:37.

we need to take the person with the flag to one side and intervene. The

:39:38.:39:42.

officers are right there and let him walk away again. They will go into

:39:43.:39:45.

the park and they are just standing and think them go by. As the crowd

:39:46.:39:50.

become more hostile, police are concerned about the violence

:39:51.:39:55.

spreading. I want them to engage, differentiate, intervene. Thank you.

:39:56.:40:05.

It seems to be some information to suggest they are going into the West

:40:06.:40:09.

End. I don't want this group going into the crowded West End so

:40:10.:40:16.

absolute cordons please. Nice and tight here. The Met have imposed a

:40:17.:40:24.

nine pin deadline on the event. They are resorting to cordons to try to

:40:25.:40:28.

contain the crowd and ending the protest on time is becoming

:40:29.:40:29.

increasingly unlikely. There is every chance we might make

:40:30.:40:42.

a lot of people here now. -- Nick a lot of people.

:40:43.:42:05.

20 minutes later, a local response team stops a man who admits he is

:42:06.:42:14.

the suspect they are looking for. Obviously you were carrying a knife

:42:15.:42:23.

and we suspect you might... What, stabbed in the tree? It stabbed in

:42:24.:42:28.

the tree apparently. What's your name? I'm Craig. If you show us

:42:29.:42:32.

where it is. I'll just film that. Because you have just told us where

:42:33.:42:51.

that knife is and that is in the tree, we are arresting you on

:42:52.:42:54.

suspicion of being in possession of an offensive weapon in a public

:42:55.:42:55.

place. Thank you. The suspect, Gary, will be taken to

:42:56.:43:05.

Brixton custody where Brian is running the night shift. Some people

:43:06.:43:16.

just completely refused to cooperate, to engage and that can

:43:17.:43:24.

become very trying. Look, man, you ain't no fucking teacher. You ain't

:43:25.:43:29.

no teacher, don't talk to me like that. You're not a teacher. You're

:43:30.:43:35.

being arrested for being drunk and disorderly in a public place. You

:43:36.:43:41.

said I'll point in your fight by fucking will want to. Who wants to

:43:42.:43:48.

be arrested. The next suspect to be checked in is Gary who was arrested

:43:49.:43:52.

earlier in possession of a knife. In the last 24 hours, Saint 11 o'clock

:43:53.:43:58.

last night, have you had an alcohol drink but yes. What have you been

:43:59.:44:08.

drinking? Stella. How much? The last six hours I suppose 24 cans. 24 cans

:44:09.:44:16.

in six hours? Are you an alcoholic? I'm getting there. So what's the

:44:17.:44:24.

postcode of the current home address? No fixed abode. Where did

:44:25.:44:30.

you spend last night? In Fontwell Park.

:44:31.:44:40.

. -- we've got a phone charger. His toothbrush and toothpaste.

:44:41.:44:55.

That's my mum 's ashes. And my mum's hair. Where? In the bottom there

:44:56.:45:13.

with like a little trinket. Trinket. That's because I love her. You know?

:45:14.:45:21.

That's... Can you imagine waking up one day

:45:22.:45:41.

and not having a mum? Hell. You can run homer for someone, and there's

:45:42.:45:47.

no one there is no more. You can't go home. I had to go to Brockwell

:45:48.:46:02.

Park. Tree number three, Bush two. Is that a takeaway? Yes, please.

:46:03.:46:08.

We've done what we've done, and we've got to be grateful what we've

:46:09.:46:10.

been given. Can you see that nice in there?

:46:11.:46:22.

Correct, yes. Was that the knife you had with you when you went to Tesco.

:46:23.:46:31.

Yellow yes. I went, get the money out the till. They ran away and all.

:46:32.:46:40.

But taking the money from the till was never your intention? Never at

:46:41.:46:48.

all. The question is, when you went into that shop, what was your

:46:49.:46:52.

motivation? What did you hope to get out of it? To be here, where I am

:46:53.:46:58.

sitting now. To be nicked. I wanted to be arrested. Simple as that. I

:46:59.:47:03.

thought, this will be my way out of life. If you are released from here,

:47:04.:47:10.

if you are given bail, what would you do? If what? Say you were

:47:11.:47:17.

charged and then given bail? I would be gutted. You don't have to to let

:47:18.:47:25.

them go. If you've got good evidence they will commit further offences,

:47:26.:47:30.

you try to keep them in. Obviously, you don't want to keep people

:47:31.:47:35.

unnecessarily. We look at everything, way up the evidence, and

:47:36.:47:39.

try and make the right decision. Gary, I will just be a moment.

:47:40.:47:45.

Somebody's done a bit of an error on your charges. Can I have a signature

:47:46.:47:49.

from you, please, to say you were president when you were charged? It

:47:50.:47:57.

is no admission to the offences themselves. I'm going to refuse you

:47:58.:48:09.

bail. The reason I'm going to refuse you bail, Gary, is because you are

:48:10.:48:14.

of no fixed abode, and I'm concerned you will commit further offences on

:48:15.:48:20.

bail. You have serious offences of committing violence, and I feel you

:48:21.:48:23.

are at risk of violence to the public where you could cause members

:48:24.:48:27.

of the public serious harm. Would you like to make any representations

:48:28.:48:32.

to me of why you feel you should get bail? No. Whilst you are here, we

:48:33.:48:38.

will look after you and give you access to medical attention, food

:48:39.:48:42.

and ring. We can give you a shower, but that can only happen during the

:48:43.:48:45.

nighttime because of how busy the station is. I appreciate you are

:48:46.:48:50.

going to be here now for over two nights, OK? Cleared it out. Do you

:48:51.:49:01.

want something to eat? I ordered spaghetti Bolognese. I will get it

:49:02.:49:12.

for you. Two of them. I'm a big boy. You don't need a Gary every day.

:49:13.:49:20.

He's committed a response, but we have -- committed an offence, but we

:49:21.:49:25.

have a responsibility to look after him. It is pretty harsh to listen to

:49:26.:49:30.

him talk. He carries around his mother's ashes. Would he be here

:49:31.:49:35.

today if life had treated him a bit better? Maybe not.

:49:36.:49:51.

Spread the fucking love! It is 10pm. An hour since the curfew has run out

:49:52.:50:04.

on the Million Mask March. A hard-core element of protesters are

:50:05.:50:09.

refusing to leave, and start to throw fireworks at the police. Jane

:50:10.:50:13.

says this group will not go. We are going to be telling them conditions

:50:14.:50:19.

have expired, and directing them, or requesting them to leave. Send

:50:20.:50:28.

somebody up and start making arrests.

:50:29.:50:34.

The police respond by using their supermarket sweep tactic, having

:50:35.:50:39.

identified one of the people responsible. Take him!

:50:40.:50:51.

Angry lads, angry lads. I'll do it. Is this our last one, is it? Is this

:50:52.:51:05.

our last space? Hello, there. Sorry, one moment. I speak Italian or

:51:06.:51:13.

Spanish. Do you speak any English? A little bit. The subject has been

:51:14.:51:20.

detained. It's under section 80 of the explosives act 1875. PRO HE

:51:21.:51:31.

SPEAKS ITALIAN. MY CITY IS DIFFERENT. MY CITY IS

:51:32.:51:48.

MAFIA, POLICE, AND I RELAX. We are going to go in and make as

:51:49.:52:09.

many arrests as we can. It has taken nearly two hours to disperse the

:52:10.:52:13.

protesters. There is now only a few left in Parliament Square, but they

:52:14.:52:19.

are also refusing to leave. The BBC are real bastards, yeah? Either way,

:52:20.:52:28.

how come you reported something 20 minutes before it actually did. It's

:52:29.:52:37.

supposed to be a 24 hour vigil, man! How are we being anti-social? Leave

:52:38.:52:51.

me alone! Look at you! Shame on you! Why are you pulling me down? Get off

:52:52.:53:02.

me. Just stand there, mate. I've done nothing wrong, and I've just

:53:03.:53:06.

been sitting in the chair. That's all I've been doing. You are putting

:53:07.:53:13.

metal chains on me. I am shivering because I am doing a 24-hour vigil

:53:14.:53:19.

for fuel poverty to highlight the fact that 15,000 people were killed

:53:20.:53:23.

in their own homes they couldn't access heating. We've made a total

:53:24.:53:32.

of 47 arrests, got one officer injured, minor I believe, one

:53:33.:53:38.

protester who has suffered injuries, not life threatening. And we've

:53:39.:53:44.

pretty much got sort of west end unaffected, and things starting to

:53:45.:53:49.

return to normality, apart from the huge numbers of police everywhere.

:53:50.:53:54.

On a tactical and operational level, in my view, we've done a bloody

:53:55.:54:02.

brilliant job, and that just goes to show that London police officers are

:54:03.:54:03.

great at what we do. With hindsight, it does seem a

:54:04.:54:21.

hugely expensive, costly operation for what was in effect a smaller

:54:22.:54:27.

element than you would get at a standard Saturday afternoon football

:54:28.:54:32.

match. It could have easily been the other way. It just isn't worth

:54:33.:54:38.

taking the risk on reducing that resource when there could be so much

:54:39.:54:42.

cost to London. So, it's just the way it is, I'm afraid.

:54:43.:55:08.

Andy has been investigating a series of brutal cat killings for the last

:55:09.:55:15.

six months. With over 50 bodies found mutilated so far, he has

:55:16.:55:20.

finally been given a lead. We are going to a flat which is two or

:55:21.:55:25.

three miles away from Croydon. It's the address of a man who was

:55:26.:55:31.

arrested ten days ago for a serious sexual assaults, a rate, on an

:55:32.:55:37.

elderly lady at her home address, which was within Croydon. Since his

:55:38.:55:42.

arrest, his name has been given to us by a few different people, saying

:55:43.:55:49.

they think he is involved in the cat mutilations series. Nothing specific

:55:50.:55:53.

as to I know he did it, but we haven't had an offence in ten days.

:55:54.:55:58.

The night after he was arrested, they stopped. Right, what we are

:55:59.:56:05.

looking for is the obvious bits of cats. Knives, shears, anything that

:56:06.:56:13.

will cut with two edges that can be used that way. If he's got bits of

:56:14.:56:18.

cat here, if they are not in the freezer, you will smell them before

:56:19.:56:25.

you see them. Anything obvious? That doesn't fill me full of confidence

:56:26.:56:31.

that it's going to be down here. Mankini, but no dead cats. You still

:56:32.:56:37.

get that little pang when you open up the freezer, what is going to be

:56:38.:56:44.

in there. Maybe, maybe not, but you open the door to find... You don't

:56:45.:56:51.
