The programme which enables the viewer to solve and prevent crime with Nick Ross and Sue Cook
The hunt for the armed robber who's struck six times in the north east of England. Over two years he's left a trail of clues - he's known to steal old cars and tune them up as get-away vehicles. As he gets increasingly dangerous police need information from viewers to end his spree. And the 24-hour kidnapping of 8-year-old Jamie Thomas from Lincoln. Detectives need to know who took him by train over 50 miles to Peterborough - Jamie was unhurt, but other children may be at risk.
Nick Ross and Sue Cook along with detectives from around the country are waiting for your call to the Crimewatch studio.
Police officers David Hatcher and Helen Phelps report from the Incident Desk. If you can help, call Crimewatch on [number removed]anytime from
9.30 pm until midnight.
