What can we expect from this episode
Three men break into an elderly couple’s home and assault them in Harrow, a neighbourhood in northwest London. For more than 18 months, the men have been involved with a criminal gang in the nation’s capital, preying on the weak and the old for their valuables and money. The gang is very good at covering their tracks; they clean up after themselves using bleach, wear masks to conceal their identities, and never leave fingerprints on objects. The men’s identities have been positively identified by detectives, but there is insufficient evidence to press charges at this time.
The Flying Squad, a special unit of covert police trained in armed surveillance and ambushes, is summoned to try to put an end to the gang. To collect sufficient evidence for a conviction, it is necessary to apprehend the gang while they are committing a burglary. The members of the Covert Flying Squad launch a surveillance operation in the hopes of disrupting the criminal organisation.
Officers from the online child sexual abuse and exploitation unit detain a man in his twenties who is believed to have indecent images of children in Islington, north London. He says it was an accident and that he never intended to download the pictures. In order to collect evidence to press charges, the team will need to examine and evaluate thousands of images stored on his hard drive.
Another man, also suspected of having indecent images, is arrested in south London. They learn he lives with his partner and baby when they reach his house. They need to find out right away if he has been abusing children while viewing images or if he has been making his own content.
Documentary following the officers of Britain’s biggest and busiest police service as they deal with life, death, crime and its victims, all across the capital.
