24 Hours in Police Custody

Detectives are called to examine a shooting that seems to have been carried out without any clear provocation. The incident has left a male victim gravely injured, barely clinging to life as medics work to stabilise him. While pursuing leads, the officers are approached by a woman who claims the alleged shooter threatened her. She tells the police that the suspect made direct threats, adding another layer of urgency to the investigation. The team must piece together the circumstances surrounding the apparently senseless attack while also addressing the woman's allegations, trying to determine whether the threats are linked to the same individual responsible for the shooting.

In Bedfordshire, detectives from the police force stumble upon a link between a huge fraud that has stripped a vulnerable elderly man of his life savings and a criminal gang that preys on young people. The investigation reveals that the same network responsible for the financial swindle is also involved in exploiting youths, tying together two seemingly separate crimes. By tracing the money trail and interviewing victims, the officers piece together how the gang’s activities intersect, showing that the theft from the senior citizen is not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of exploitation aimed at the younger generation.

This programme marks the opening installment of a two‑part investigation into a man who sexually abused young people in Luton. The inquiry grew into Bedfordshire Police’s largest historic‑abuse operation. The first episode sets out the background, detailing how the predator targeted youths and how the investigation unfolded, leading to a massive police response that became the force’s most extensive effort to tackle historic sexual offences. It also outlines the initial complaints and the early steps officers took as they began to piece together the extent of the abuse. The segment shows how the probe widened, eventually covering a broad range of historic allegations across the county.
