Doorbell Detectives returns to BBC One this Friday, June 6, at 2 PM for its final episode. The program highlights how doorbell cameras have become essential tools in crime-solving, often providing the crucial evidence needed to bring criminals to justice.

This time, Matt Allwright meets a couple whose doorbell footage helped convict the perpetrators of a neighborhood robbery. The episode also features dramatic video of a couple trapped by masked thieves during a catalytic converter theft—a stark illustration of how quickly everyday situations can turn dangerous. Offering practical advice, former police inspector Anton Sullivan demonstrates a simple but effective method for preventing such car break-ins. In another case, the “doorbell detectives” use a sharp eye and a criminal’s distinctive tattoo to track down the culprits.
