BBC One - The Met, Series 3, Episode 7

Police try to dismantle one of London's most dangerous gangs.

A man is attacked and dies in Trafalgar Square, the Trident team try to dismantle one of London's most dangerous gangs, and response officers have to deal with a drunk driver.

DCI Jim McKee and his team from the Met’s Trident unit target one of London’s most dangerous gangs, based in Newham. Their investigation uncovers that recent attacks in the borough have been carried out by teenagers groomed by gang leaders. This is the first time detectives have seen the deliberate recruitment of school children to commit serious acts of violent acts. They fear more teenagers across the borough are at risk of being pulled into the gangs. Jim’s team believe a gang member and drill artist is behind the grooming of the teenagers, and when a young boy is kidnapped and tortured, Trident get a vital lead on their main suspect.

Two men attack Desmond O’Beirne in Trafalgar Square. One of the men delivers a fatal punch and Desmond dies six months later from his injuries. The attack is captured on CCTV, but with 15 million tourists visiting Trafalgar Square every year, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. Desmond’s sister is determined to get justice for her brother and does an appeal at New Scotland Yard asking for witnesses to come forward.
