Our defenders are called in when a seven-year-old boy suffers a fatal electric shock.

Our defenders investigate the tragic death of a seven-year-old boy. And they close in on a fraudster sending thousands of scam text messages.

A seven-year-old boy suffers a fatal electric shock during a family visit to their local pub. Our defenders are called in to investigate and discover a catalogue of electrical faults, including 12 defects that were an immediate danger.

In another case, they close in on a fraudster bombarding us with scam text messages claiming to be from well-known organisations, including the Royal Mail and HMRC.

And they crackdown on criminals who are dumping mountains of rubbish illegally at 300 sites across south east England.
