0:00:02 > 0:00:04Rural Britain has some of the most challenging
0:00:04 > 0:00:05environments in the world.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08In Scotland, the mountains, lochs and coastline
0:00:08 > 0:00:12encourage tourists and locals to get out into the wilds.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15But with that comes danger.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Keep your arms by your side!
0:00:21 > 0:00:25The emergency services north of the border have to deal with
0:00:25 > 0:00:27extreme challenges every day.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31- Don't stop right in the middle of there.- Keep coming.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32We need to get through.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35From severe weather and treacherous terrain...
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- Is the pain getting worse, do you think?- Yes.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41..to covering huge distances on country roads
0:00:41 > 0:00:43with time against them.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44So we'll just get him out ASAP.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47They work around the clock
0:00:47 > 0:00:51battling against some of the most difficult situations.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56We'll be right at the heart of the action,
0:00:56 > 0:01:00side by side with Air Rescue saving lives,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03on the road with paramedics caring for the injured
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and following the police fighting crime,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10as the emergency services work together to pick up, patch up
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and protect the public in rural communities.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16This is Countryside 999.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Coming up -
0:01:34 > 0:01:37rural police officers confiscate firearms following a dispute
0:01:37 > 0:01:39between neighbours.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43We can do him for poaching, unlawfully taking a shotgun...
0:01:44 > 0:01:48In A&E, a patient's had an accident with an air gun.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53I still expect there to be a pellet embedded quite deeply in his forearm.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56And a Royal Navy helicopter crew joins forces
0:01:56 > 0:01:58with the bomb disposal squad.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15When Britain's rural emergency services get an urgent call-out,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18they pull out all the stops to respond,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20no matter how remote the location.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And they have to be prepared for anything.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30HMS Gannet's Royal Navy Search and Rescue Team, based in Ayrshire,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33cover an area of 98,000 square miles...
0:02:35 > 0:02:39..providing 24-hour assistance across Scotland, northern England
0:02:39 > 0:02:40and Northern Ireland.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Their Sea King helicopters help them recover climbers, rescue fishermen
0:02:48 > 0:02:53and provide vital medical evacuations from the nation's remote islands.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57It's 1.30, and they've just received a call-out.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11The team is preparing to despatch to the remote island of Canna
0:03:11 > 0:03:13in the Inner Hebrides.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16It's the most westerly of the Small Isles,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20measuring just five miles by one, and is home to only 12 people.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Today, they're on a high-priority mission
0:03:27 > 0:03:30with a uniquely dangerous twist.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45The unexploded device is a marine marker used in military training
0:03:45 > 0:03:48to mark a position with smoke and flames.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52If not detonated, they can be lethal in the wrong hands.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56There are many exercises that go on in the Outer Hebrides
0:03:56 > 0:03:59and up in these areas. Submarine exercises,
0:03:59 > 0:04:03there's a lot of joint maritime exercises, NATO forces.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07And ordnance is used to pretend to be part of mock battles
0:04:07 > 0:04:10and these things get washed up.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Most of them are utterly harmless but if there was a little bit of explosive charge left in something,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19and a child finds it, or someone who isn't sure
0:04:19 > 0:04:22of what they're doing with it... We can't take the risk.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28The man who found the device accidentally rode over it
0:04:28 > 0:04:32on his quad bike, which could make it extremely volatile.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37So they've called in bomb specialists, known as Explosive Ordnance Disposal.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44The EOD team is located at the Navy's main Scottish base, Faslane.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05But when they arrive, an update racks the call up to an emergency.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09It's emerged that the man who found the unexploded charge
0:05:09 > 0:05:14has removed it from the beach and placed it next to a tank of fuel.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48With the bomb disposal unit on board,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50the team head straight for Canna.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03Unexploded devices are a rarity in Britain, but guns are not.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Our countryside is home to thousands of large rural estates.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Shooting for sport is a huge business,
0:06:12 > 0:06:15bringing in £1.6 billion a year to the economy.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21There are over 700,000 gun certificates in the UK,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and for the police, reports of possible misuse of guns
0:06:24 > 0:06:26are taken extremely seriously.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33In Dumfriesshire, PCs Stewart Rae and Matt Tate
0:06:33 > 0:06:36have received a worrying call.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Stewart describes the allegations.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Somebody's been out walking
0:06:42 > 0:06:46and they've came across a male person out shooting.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48He went across to speak with him
0:06:48 > 0:06:51to see if he's had permission to be there.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54The person's then threatened the gentleman.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01The man making the complaint is Harry.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Harry alleges that his neighbour's son
0:07:06 > 0:07:09was shooting pheasants with a friend,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11uncomfortably close to his back garden.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33After the friend allegedly ran away,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Harry got into an argument with his neighbour's son.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Harry's alleging that the youth was not only shooting far too close to his garden,
0:08:00 > 0:08:05he also threatened him - and was possibly trespassing with a loaded shotgun.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12This could be a neighbourly dispute but, because there's a gun involved,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15the police have to take it very seriously.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Back at the station,
0:08:18 > 0:08:23Stewart has taken advice from the licensor for firearms.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27A string of offences might have been committed, including the possibility
0:08:27 > 0:08:31the youth has used his father's gun without permission.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36He says the boy's been trespassing because he's on his land,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39so section 19, cos he's had a loaded shotgun.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Poaching as well - can do him for poaching.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Unlawfully taking a shotgun.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52His dad can get done with... The keys need to be separate
0:08:52 > 0:08:55so that nobody can access the gun cabinet
0:08:55 > 0:08:58so that there's about two or three charges for the father
0:08:58 > 0:09:01if he's not kept the gun cabinet safe.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09The incident took place on a large shooting estate
0:09:09 > 0:09:11where Harry is a tenant.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14The officers need to speak to Andrew, the owner of the estate.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18They want to see if he knows whose land the youths were on.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26The wood at the back of his house belongs to him.
0:09:26 > 0:09:32The top of that - there's a little strip of my wood next to them.
0:09:32 > 0:09:38On either side of the burn, it comes up to Harry's garden. His ground.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43- His ground.- Yeah. Now, where he was,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I don't know.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Yeah, he says he's been down at the ravine just right of the veer,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51and the dry stone dyke, so that would be on his land.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- That'd be on his land. - You're describing it, yeah.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Stewart still needs to know if the youths
0:09:57 > 0:10:00were allowed to be shooting the pheasants in the first place.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04And it turns out it's not as straightforward as it seems.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07The birds are whoever's property they're on.
0:10:07 > 0:10:14While they may have been most definitely released on my land,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18if they strayed onto his land, they're his birds.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22If he shoots one, and it falls on my ground, it actually...
0:10:22 > 0:10:26He can't go and pick it up on my ground - it belongs to me.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30If I shoot one and it falls on his ground, it belongs to him.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Thanks very much. Cheers.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43The interview with Andrew hasn't shed much light on the incident.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Later, Stewart and Matt visit the youth's father,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51to question him about his son's behaviour.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04The Royal Navy Search and Rescue team
0:11:04 > 0:11:06are heading to the Hebridean island of Canna
0:11:06 > 0:11:09along with the Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11the Navy's bomb squad.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16A local crofter found an unexploded device on the beach,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19brought it home and placed it next to his diesel tank.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Observer Angela Lewis gets an update.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Hello, this is rescue helicopter 177, hello.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31This is the crew of the helicopter
0:11:31 > 0:11:34that's bringing the bomb disposal team up to you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37We should be with you at the landing site in about 20 minutes.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Would be good if you could meet us there.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Could you confirm that we can just walk
0:11:41 > 0:11:43from the landing site to where you are?
0:11:52 > 0:11:57Brilliant. That's great. we'll see you there in about 20 minutes, then.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Only 12 people live on this island, so there's plenty of room
0:12:01 > 0:12:05for the aircraft to land right next to the crofter's house.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Might get a bit of turbulence as we come through it,
0:12:07 > 0:12:08just to let you know.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11We're five minutes from Canna, five minutes.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15There's limited daylight and deteriorating weather,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17so the team land swiftly.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24A red marker guides them to the landing site.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Steady. You're clear.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32It's been placed by Murdo,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35the crofter who came across the unexploded ordnance.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Murdo's lucky the device didn't explode when he rode over it.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Now the priority is for bomb-disposal expert Alan to move
0:12:56 > 0:13:00the device away from the diesel - and well away from the helicopter.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Murdo had no idea he'd picked up an explosive device.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I picked it up.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I thought, because I can't see very good without my glasses,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21"I'll take it home and read what it is all about."
0:13:21 > 0:13:24And then when I was standing at the back door and I started reading it,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27we were kind of... Well, once we'd read what it was
0:13:27 > 0:13:32we thought, "Well, we'd better inform somebody." It said on it to inform either the police or the military.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37And it also said that there was a mechanism on it that,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40if you turn one way it was armed, and the other way it was unarmed.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I was a wee bit worried then as to what the mechanism was.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45So then I put it out away from the house,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47cos it was very close to the diesel tank.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I never really thought about the diesel tank when I put it there.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56While the EOD team look for a safe place to detonate the ordnance,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Alan gets ready.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01He'll lay an explosive charge next to the ordnance
0:14:01 > 0:14:03so he can blow it up.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Alan needs to calculate exactly
0:14:32 > 0:14:34how much of his own explosive charge to use.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37But the daylight's starting to fade,
0:14:37 > 0:14:40so there's only one chance to get it right.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50The emergency services
0:14:50 > 0:14:53working across the huge area of Dumfries and Galloway
0:14:53 > 0:14:57look after a scattered rural population of 148,000.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Many people own guns here, so there are occasional accidents.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09In Dumfries Royal Infirmary's A&E, Emergency Consultant
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Mike Quigley is preparing to deal with one such case.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I'm just off to see a 43-year old gentleman who's had an injury
0:15:16 > 0:15:19with a BB gun, a ball bearing gun.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Apparently, he's had a gunshot wound to his forearm,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24so I'm just going to go and have a look at him.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Hello, I've come to have a look at your arm, is that right?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Yeah. And this is an injury that you sustained with a BB gun?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Aye.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Is that, in my understanding, is that sort of an air-propelled gun?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Gas gun, OK, and it fires metal ball bearings.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Right, how big are they? - Very small.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Does it fire one at a time?- Aye.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55OK. Have you any numbness, pins and needles?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Although Daniel's been in pain, he waited three days
0:15:59 > 0:16:04to come to hospital, and he knows who's to blame for the accident.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05What happened?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Well, I put it against my arm to see what the pressure was with it.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- I'd never fired it before.- OK. - It was my son-in-law's.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13And I didnae ken it automatically loaded itself.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- OK, so was it right against your skin?- More or less.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18OK. When did you do that?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Saturday night. - Saturday night, OK.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Mike examines the injury to determine if the metal pellet
0:16:23 > 0:16:26is still in his arm and, if so, where it is.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- So, X marks the spot. - It seems to be swollen.- Yes.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37And would you say that has developed over the...
0:16:37 > 0:16:39since Saturday or has it been much the same?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- It's developed from Saturday. - OK. What about the hand?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Everything's fine.- Works OK? Have you any numbness,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47pins and needles, tingling in your fingers, no?
0:16:47 > 0:16:51OK, let me just check a couple of wee things out if you don't mind.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Stretch your fingers out for me. Good man. Just relax for me.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Just going to stretch this up a little bit.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59If the pellet is still in Daniel's arm,
0:16:59 > 0:17:03it could cause a serious infection. But right now,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Mike can't even feel it - and that might mean it's lodged deeply.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I'm going to arrange for a wee X-ray first off
0:17:11 > 0:17:14to see if we can pick this up on X-ray, and that'll give us
0:17:14 > 0:17:17an idea of how deep it is, and how easy it'll be to get back.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20And then we'll talk about what we need to do for it.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Is that OK?- It's maybe...
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Just pinged away. Well, OK, OK, that's fine,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27We'll need to check and see with the X-ray first, OK?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Sit tight for a minute or two, thank you.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Functionally, it doesn't seem to have involved
0:17:33 > 0:17:35any of the important structures in his arm,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37as in his hand and wrist are working fine.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39There's no involvement of the nerves
0:17:39 > 0:17:41or the blood vessels, so that's good.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44But I still expect there to be a pellet embedded quite deeply
0:17:44 > 0:17:48in his forearm, so the first thing to do is to find out if it's there,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51where it's at, how deep it is and how easy it'll be to remove.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Mike's hunch was right.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00The X-ray shows the BB pellet as a white dot next to Daniel's bone.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04It's penetrated deep into his forearm.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08The X-ray shows up what we expected,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12so you've got a little air gun pellet or a little BB pellet.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15It's in very deep, Daniel.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17It's right up against the bone, actually.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Just probably straight in somewhere in that position there.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25What I'm going to do - to get it out is actually quite a tricky job,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28and it quite often means a small operation.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33We use special X-rays to find the metal bearing under X-ray control,
0:18:33 > 0:18:37and that would be done by our orthopaedic doctors.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40OK. Good man, sit there for a minute or two,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42and I'll come back and speak to you soon.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46While Mike talks to the orthopaedic team, Daniel reflects on his mishap.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Ach, I was drinking with the boys and...
0:18:50 > 0:18:54You know, the boys had got somebody a BB gun for their Christmas
0:18:54 > 0:18:56and they brought it out of the box
0:18:56 > 0:19:01and I put it against my arm to fire it, to feel the pressure of the air.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06And I didnae realise it automatically loaded itself. So...
0:19:06 > 0:19:08that's the outcome.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Similar sort of thing - gas canister fires it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14It's too deep for me to go chasing - it's been in there for three days.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Mike consults the orthopaedic team.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20They decide that because the pellet is made of aluminium,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22which is a low irritant and nontoxic,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25it's unlikely to cause further problems.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Lucky for Daniel, who can be sent home.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32So he's gone home with some antibiotics
0:19:32 > 0:19:36and some anti-inflammatory tablets, and if everything settles down
0:19:36 > 0:19:38in his forearm, they'll just be left alone.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41If they become more symptomatic,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44then they'll have to do something about it.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56In Dumfries and Galloway, PCs Stewart Rae and Matt Tate
0:19:56 > 0:20:00have been investigating an allegation of illegal game shooting
0:20:00 > 0:20:03and threatening behaviour on a large country estate.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09So far, they've interviewed Harry, a tenant on the estate.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Harry says he saw his neighbour's son and a friend
0:20:12 > 0:20:15shooting at pheasants across his garden.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17They also took a statement from Andrew,
0:20:17 > 0:20:21the owner of the estate, and now, they're visiting the youth's father,
0:20:21 > 0:20:24a local doctor and a gun licence holder.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27He could be in trouble
0:20:27 > 0:20:30if his son was using his gun without supervision.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36We had a phone call from one of your neighbours on Saturday saying
0:20:36 > 0:20:39there was shooting ongoing on land behind him.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43He's identified your son and one other,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45we don't know who else has been there,
0:20:45 > 0:20:49with shotguns shooting. Are you aware of this?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54But at the time you weren't, no?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58So you weren't there supervising them as such.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59No.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04Stewart wants to know if the youth was using one of his father's guns,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07which by law must be kept under lock and key.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11What about if your son wanted to access them?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14How easy would it be for him?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17He doesn't know where the keys are?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Yeah. There's always one time, though.
0:21:28 > 0:21:34- I'm just trying to discover as much as I can about one of your guns having been used.- I know, I know.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Regards to what's been said between your son and your neighbour,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41certain things, what I'll arrange to do,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'm going to come and seize your weapons
0:21:43 > 0:21:49and your certificate as well, until this case has been finished.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Yes.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I've got concerns for public safety at the moment.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56If your son's staying at your address,
0:21:56 > 0:22:01with access to your address and there's guns there, I can seize them.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I've liaised with the firearms licensing officer in Dumfries
0:22:04 > 0:22:08and also my sergeant, and they're quite happy for me to do this.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11OK?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Not for me, it's not. OK.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Britain has some of the toughest gun-control laws in the world.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Until Stewart and Matt establish whether or not
0:22:24 > 0:22:26it was his father's gun the youth was using,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30and under what circumstances, they need to take every precaution.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34We have made arrangements to go to his house tomorrow night,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37where we'll seize his guns and his certificate as well
0:22:37 > 0:22:41until such times as we feel appropriate to hand them back to him.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Matt and Stewart confiscate the doctor's guns
0:22:48 > 0:22:51but they still need to speak to more witnesses
0:22:51 > 0:22:53in order to get to the bottom of what's happened.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59The doctor's son is called Mo and, days later,
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Mo's friend Alan arrives to give his side of the story.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Alan was there on the day of the incident
0:23:07 > 0:23:09along with his own brother.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Talk me through Saturday, then.
0:23:11 > 0:23:17Saturday, well, me and two of my mates went up to Mo's.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Brother had his shotgun there, brother went out in front.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Alan reveals a key piece of evidence.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It was his brother's licensed gun that was being used,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29not the doctor's.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34My brother was across... He went across the boundary
0:23:34 > 0:23:37to look for this pheasant.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Then he came walking back, said there was a guy across the river,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44kind of mouthing off or whatever.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Mo then went across the boundary to see what the guy was saying,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52the guy was going daft or whatever.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56The guy came up to Mo with a German Shepherd and guy took his top off
0:23:56 > 0:23:57and was right up in Mo's face
0:23:57 > 0:24:01and... Couldn't hear anything that was being said
0:24:01 > 0:24:04but, there was, like... There was shouting going on
0:24:04 > 0:24:07and the guy seemed quite aggressive towards him.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14It's clear there was a row between Harry and Mo on that day.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17What's still not clear is what part the gun played in that.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24PCs Stewart and Matt have to be cautious.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Now they know it was the brother's gun being used,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28they need to seize that one as well.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- Right. It's dirty.- Is it?- Aye.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41It takes a further month for Stewart and Matt
0:24:41 > 0:24:44to conclude what has been a complicated case.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Now they have enough evidence to charge Mo.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Six statements have been taken
0:24:53 > 0:24:56and tomorrow night we'll be detaining a youth,
0:24:56 > 0:25:01and I have enough evidence to charge him with a breach of the peace.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07So he will be detained and brought here tomorrow night,
0:25:07 > 0:25:08if we can get a hold of him.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11He'll be interviewed to give his side of the story,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15and then I'll be charging him with a breach of the peace.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Even though there was a gun involved,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23in this case there were no firearms offences committed.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26For Stewart, it's a relief that this very rural case
0:25:26 > 0:25:29didn't amount to anything more serious.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42On Canna, the Navy's Search and Rescue Team have brought
0:25:42 > 0:25:47the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit to an emergency call-out.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51They're conducting a controlled explosion after local crofter Murdo
0:25:51 > 0:25:54rode over an unexploded device on his quad bike.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58He took the device home, and put it next to his fuel supply.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03The EOD unit has moved the device to the safety of the beach,
0:26:03 > 0:26:08away from the house, the helicopter and the diesel tank.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10They've rigged up an explosive charge
0:26:10 > 0:26:14and set it next to the unexploded ordnance.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16It's basically filled with... It's like a black gunpowder,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18and then for my calculation,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22I can work out how long a delay I want to put before it initiates,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25and by working out the burn rate,
0:26:25 > 0:26:30then I can estimate, you know, by cutting it X size long.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33And it just gives us a delay to walk away safely from the item.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38With no way of knowing how much explosive is left
0:26:38 > 0:26:41in the marine marker, they can't tell how big the blast will be.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46It's crucial everyone stands as far away as possible.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59To ensure there's no further danger,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02bomb-disposal expert Alan does a final check.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Just see, obviously the power of the explosives here,
0:27:10 > 0:27:13the force from our charge, how it's broken up into large chunks.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18That small amount of explosives has ruptured these rocks.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Crofter Murdo is relieved he called the Navy.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26You always think when you find something like that
0:27:26 > 0:27:30you're maybe wasting people's time, but I can see by what I saw there
0:27:30 > 0:27:33just now it was obviously worth getting it disposed of properly.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37His only concern now is that the explosion
0:27:37 > 0:27:40on the normally quiet island might have rattled the hens.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46They're only young hens that have just started laying good eggs
0:27:46 > 0:27:49so yeah, but they'll be fine.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01It's been all go for the emergency services in Scotland's rural areas.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Daniel's wound healed up,
0:28:04 > 0:28:08so he gets to keep the BB pellet as a permanent souvenir.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13The doctor got his guns back, and so did the friend.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16And Mo was dealt with out of court by the Crown Office.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19And as for Murdo's hens,
0:28:19 > 0:28:22they've recovered from the shock of the bomb blast.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28And you thought it was quiet in the countryside.
