Front door drama continues this Wednesday as Doorbell Detectives returns to BBC One. Airing at 2 PM, the third episode features more real-life crime caught on camera—from petty theft to serious offenses, all thanks to the rise of smart doorbell technology.

Host Matt Allwright presents a fresh batch of gobsmacking footage and walks viewers through the hows and whys of amateur sleuthing. One featured case highlights a doorbell detective whose quick thinking—and even quicker upload—leads to the capture and conviction of a major offender. It’s a reminder that neighborhood watch has gone digital, and sometimes the best witness is a tiny camera mounted above your porch.

Former police inspector Anton Sullivan also weighs in, offering expert tips on how to make your property less appealing to thieves. Expect a mix of shocking footage, practical advice, and just enough schadenfreude to satisfy anyone who’s ever dealt with a porch pirate or a worse kind of unwelcome guest.

Doorbell Detectives airs Wednesday, 4 June at 2 PM UK Time on BBC One.
