Original subtitles

The following programme contains strong language.

'Previously on the Heist...'

Go, go, go.

'Ten ordinary citizens robbed a security van

of a quarter of a million pounds.'

ALL: White Horse Bandits!

'So far two thieves have been caught by the detectives.'

You're a liar and you're a thief, and you will be charged with theft.

'Now they're focusing on a new suspect.'

This is our new guy, Jonathan Easton.

I think this is a good hiding place. If I was a detective I wouldn't be looking here.

Jonathan Easton, he's engaged. It's a wedding fund.There you are.

Ooh, book now.Pfft!

Five k. We'd have to pay for it without getting caught.

'Unaware he's known to the police, Jonny and partner Emma

are planning a big spend.'

23 grand in notes. Two grand in pound coins.

This is Easton's home address.

Who's that?

Oh, my God, my heart's racing.

I think this is it here.There we are, yeah.So we're slowing down.

'Detectives Dave Bolton and Irene Afful scope out Jonny's farm,

as suspicion builds that he is involved in the heist.'

That's the one.Yeah.Yeah.

What was that?Dunno.

Car here, I don't know who it is, not stopped.

Oh, my God, my heart's racing.

So there's only one way in, one way out.

There's no way else of getting in without being spotted.

No, there isn't.

We need to get moving. I dunno who that was.

'Unaware the detectives have broken their network,

Jonny and Emma have 25 grand stashed in their kitchen.'

We need to get this out of the house now.Yes, come on.

We need to turn around to get back. Pull in here.

'Having reached a dead end,

the detectives are forced to drive back past the Easton's farm.'

That is too close for my liking.

I'm gonna dig a hole here somewhere.

That was close.

It's a sickening feeling when someone drove past you don't know.

Easton's home address is over that side.

Obviously we're shielded by the trees at the moment.

Where the farm is, he has a 360-degree view. The drive's long.

It's out the way as well, isn't it? It's out of the town.

It's a perfect place to hide the cash.

My stomach literally jumped into my mouth then.

Shit myself.Too close for comfort.

We don't know what the police are doing and how they're gonna find us

until they turn up here and it puts the fear in you.

Just a gut feeling, just summat wasn't quite right.

'Jonny and Emma buried 25,000 in a small wood on Jonny's family farm.

They have another 25 grand in the grain store.

While the others have all stashed their loot within ten miles

of Thirsk and the police station.'

We had a great result. We've got Ben charged, we've got Georgia charged.

We recovered the money, and that's great, but now we need to move on.

The Eastons, we really need to drill on them

and we need to get that data. We need to get the girlfriend's data,

Emma's data. Right, what we'll be doing today is looking at Facebook,

social media. Olly and Paula and Macca,

you'll be dealing with open source. That analysis is crucial.

All right? Let's go.

The British public are the eyes and ears of any investigation,

so I wanna get it all over Facebook, I wanna get it out on social media

through Twitter, and also through the press, to the radio,

and engage with people. They might wanna help us.

And most people actually do wanna help us. That's how crime is solved.

BBC Radio York.

We're getting some news in now about a serious crime in Thirsk.

It happened on Sunday morning...

'As part of Governor Sue Hill's strategy

to get the public's help, she's giving an interview on local radio.'

On the line is the lead investigator Detective Chief Superintendent

Sue Hill. Good morning, Sue. Can you just explain what happened?

Good morning Julia. On Sunday morning, just after 7:00,

in Marage Road, there was an unattended white van.

Eight people came across it and they've stolen £250,000

in cash. So if you were there last Sunday,

please can you let us know if you saw anything?

The suspects...I was there. I was there.

..across, towards Cemetery Road. We're getting more information.

We're making arrests, and to be honest,

the net is closing in on these people. I am absolutely astounded...

Piss off...by the information coming in from the people of Thirsk.

You can hear it in her voice.It's a contrast because I've often found...

The money was stolen from a white transit van in Thirsk,

North Yorkshire, by eight suspects. Eight?

They're counting eight so when they were looking at CCTV

of us going back up Cemetery Lane with all this loot...

..two of them... Well, no, we weren't all there, were we?

We would also like to talk to a jogger described as athletic,

wearing a ponytail, seen running in the park nearby,

and a woman walking her dogs in the area. Ah!

That's the one that saw us. That's really cool, though, Ian.

That's Ian.

Can I just put a moustache on it? Yeah, go on.

SUE: But really, those people that have been involved

in this, the message is simply this... We are coming to get you.

And with the help of the people in Thirsk,

we are going to track you down. You haven't got us yet.

That's former detective Chief Superintendent...

But this is their campaign, isn't it? This is what they want to do.

This is what they want the people of Thirsk to hear and believe.

Actually, she doesn't know our community like we know our community.

So while she's doing this campaign, let's do our own campaign.

We need a bigger campaign.

'While Governor Sue appeals to the public,

Jess and Laura plot to buy the town's loyalty.'

It's got to be like we are the modern day Robin Hood, yeah?OK.

So, we've stolen from the rich and we're gonna -Give it back to the market town.Yeah.

'Taking precautions to avoid fingerprints,

they've devised a way for locals to benefit from the heist,

with gifts from the White Horse Bandits.'

'Ey up, we've got some news to share and some cash to give.

We have enclosed £300.

Until the money is spent up let people have treats on us.

Let's do this for Thirsk. Yes!

Regards, White Horse Bandits.

Yes.Happy?Yeah, I love that. Let's go and type.

300 quid? This is for Bagels And Bakes.

This one for the Bliss Cafe.

This for the Golden Fleece, and this is for the King and Captain barber shop.

'After stuffing almost two grand into envelopes,

the pair post them to local businesses under cover of darkness.'

'Ten miles outside Thirsk,

Jonny and Emma are retrieving some spending money.'

Quite like cards.

Just rough it up a bit.

The problem is the serial numbers all going from one, two, three, four

so we've mixed them up so that serial numbers aren't together.

I have to control every situation.

I'm a very easy-going person, but sometimes my mates say

that I do panic, which I probably do.You do.

We'll put it in envelopes where they're marked

like as though we're saving. As we've been saving.

Just about to get married, so would be nice to start next year

with no financial worries, anyway, wouldn't it?

Yeah.Take a lot of the pressure off of us.

5,100-and-something.

'The couple need a solid alibi

in case they're stopped by the detectives.'

How are you feeling?Nervous.

So the story is we've been saving up for two years.

Yeah, for a holiday.

For a holiday which then, once you proposed,

turned into a honeymoon fund.Yeah.

Jonny!

We did it! We fucking did it! Ah!

So we have just booked our honeymoon, put five grand down.

Got rid of some of that mucky money. And now we are off down to...

Thirsk. To pay for the suits.

But that's gonna be the tricky bit. We are you know shitting ourselves

going into Thirsk.Booked the honeymoon. It's booked. Ah!

Keely, we've got a live ANPR hit.

'Unbeknown to Jonny and Emma,

the detectives are monitoring their vehicle.'

It's Jonathan Easton.Right. On the A170.

And which vehicle? Yankee-Whiskey-1-6...

Yeah.It's a black Nissan Qashqai.

It's actually registered to his partner, Emma Webster,

but he is insured to drive it.

You got any direction of where it is?First hit is this, OK.

54.22. Second hit is here.Right. 54.23.

It's on its way...Into town.

Have we got anyone to get on to this?

(PHONE RINGING)

Hi, Keely.Hi, are you still near Thirsk?

Yes, we are. OK, what we've got is...

Could be that it's just Emma driving her own car into town,

which is completely normal. It's just that we've had very little

movement of vehicles that are either registered to suspects

or that they are able to drive. It's been actually quite strange,

the lack of movement, which led me to think that people perhaps

weren't using vehicles for obvious reasons

because we have got ANPR cameras and perhaps they are aware of that.

Since we've got officers in the vicinity, it makes complete sense to check that out.

There's a good chance he's plotted up in the market square somewhere.

Yeah, we'll go and check that out.

We need to get eyeballs on this vehicle cos either

this is absolutely nothing and it's just his wife going in the shops,

or it's him moving, and possibly moving somewhere we wanna know about

where the money is or meeting with a co-conspirator.

They might be spending some of the money

that he's given her following the heist.

We're looking for a black Nissan Qashqai.

And this vehicle hasn't moved for days and obviously something...

Well, he's now out and about moving.

'As detectives David Laing and Georgina Bradley arrive in Thirsk,

Jonny and Emma are about to spend more cash on their wedding.'

He was a bit suspicious.

What is it again? Nissan Qashqai, black.

There it is.Where?K-Whiskey-1-6.

You've gotta get behind it.

There it is.

'Five days since the heist, detectives Georgina and David

are tailing a car associated with thieves Jonny and Emma. '

We've got eyeball on the vehicle we believe.Oh, brilliant.

We've got the vehicle. It's on the move, stand by.

Stand by, the vehicle's on the move.

It's two up, male and a female, Thirsk town centre.

We're directly behind it at the minute so we're gonna try and put some distance between us.

'Keeping Jonny under surveillance, they hope to gather evidence of him

spending stolen cash, or that he'll lead them to an accomplice.'

It's heading out of Thirsk currently.

There's the two-car distance between us but there's only me behind it.

George, I don't you to lose them. Stick with it if you can.

Remain covert, but we'll try and get back up.

Standby, we got a right indication.

Guys we're kind of heading into the middle of nowhere now.

Guys, at all costs, you're to remain covert at this time. Remain covert.

We've got nothing on them at the moment.

It's tailing us 30, 40 metres back.

I feel a little bit sick.

'Having spent almost six grand of the stolen money,

Jonny and Emma still have £40 of traceable notes with them.'

Dave.Go ahead.David and George have got eyeball on Easton.

We need you take over the follow as soon as it's safe to do so.

No worries. Bye.

We're gonna be approaching very shortly a T-junction.

The roads are very windy.

Yeah.We have lost sight for the moment.

Do we have any idea where he's likely to be going?

Hello?

Have they still got sight of the vehicle?

I assume you've still got visual on the vehicle?

I don't want it to disappear.

Cut comms now cos we've got a lost loss on that.

Unfortunately we've lost the vehicle at the moment.

Really annoying. But these things happen,

with that kind of job, these things happen so we move on, we move up.

That was a bit too close for comfort.

We've managed to get back up to the farm,

just burnt the note wads in the sink

outside, just in case they come up they're not in my pocket.

Spare cash that we didn't spend has gone back into the Aga.

We're on high alert, nerves are going hell for leather,

and...yeah, basically shitting ourselves is the word.

Pretty shook up. It's a pretty horrible feeling

when you know there's someone following you.

They obviously know our car, they know us, so they know where we live.

They were up last night, we know that now.

We know it was them. It's fucking crazy.

You know, we've spent six grand of loot today.

It's caught us off guard, and I just don't understand

how they've got to us.

Can we put it out on social media that we want any information

on coins being spent, large numbers of coins, unusual numbers of coins.

We know it's pound coins, so if we can put that out and...

We'll get that.Focus on that. Cool, yeah.

We know that in this job

a lot of pound coins and a lot of ten pound notes have gone.

So we wanna know from businesses in the community,

is there any spend which looks to you unusual.

If it's kosher it's not a problem, but it might be our crooks.

We're just gonna go and sort that stuff out for my car.

'At the nursery managed by Jessica Bell,

she and her sister, Laura Hoyland,

are retrieving some of their ill-gotten gains.'

Oh, my god.

There are some things that we would like to do with the cash.

I would like to go to somewhere like Syria

and help the children out there that don't have a lot.

Having a bit of money would mean that we could go and do that

for the children.

Oh, don't.I'd like a new kitchen. (LAUGHS)

Such a cow.

How much?

It's all wet, you know. Don't matter.

It's all soaking.Think one more handful and we've probably

got enough.Yeah?Yeah.

Perfect.Thank god it was still there, eh?

Could you imagine?

20, 40, 60, 80. 300, 360.

Happy with that?360 quid.Yeah.

Hiya.Hiya, you all right?I want to know if we could get a bag

of play sand delivered to nursery at some point.

Oh, yeah, yeah. How much are they?

£90 including VAT. Brilliant. Excellent.

Can I order a bag? I'm gonna be a right pain in the bum now.

Can I pay in pound coins?Of course you can. Oh, yeah.

Have you been raiding moneyboxes again, ain't ya?

Well, yeah. (LAUGHS)

There's no other way round it. I've bagged them up though,

so they should be right. 20, 40, 60, 80.

There should be exactly 90. Sorry to do that to you.

It's all right.Thank you. See youse later.

See you later. Cheers, thanks.

'Only after their shopping trip does Laura notice a text

from her husband Ed.'

Well, Ed said they've put it out on Twitter.

We are appealing for witnesses.

If you notice anyone spending a large number of pound coins

please get in contact. This is one hour ago.

Ed told us that the detectives have put a plea out on Facebook

for basically...People spending pound coins.

People spending pound coins. If they weren't on to us already

they definitely are now.

We've got to really cast our net wide, so you've gotta use

every avenue you can, and social media is great.

You can find some golden nuggets sometimes.

'Paula is combing the internet for any information

that will help her trace the money stolen in the heist.'

Here we go, here we go. (READS) 'Dear valued customers

of the Golden Fleece, we have received a gift

from the White Horse Bandits. The detectives are on the hunt

for the criminals. Let's work as one

and show them what a close-knit community we are.

They've put £300 behind the bar.

Get yourselves here to share the wealth.'

Another note from the White Horse Bandits.

(READS) 'The King and Captain barber shop, 300 worth of haircuts

are up for grabs. Get yourself here to share the wealth.

The White Horse Bandits have struck again.

We've been instructed to spoil as many of you as possible.'

The White Horse Bandits. Who the fuck do they think they are?

It feels like a real kick in the bollocks, doesn't it.I know.

.Taunts from Jess and Laura's scheme to donate cash

to the community keep on coming.'

(READS) 'Bagel And Bakes has had a very strange but exciting morning.

Shortly after opening we received a package through the post. £300 worth

of goodies are up for grabs. Get yourselves here to share the wealth.

Let's work as one and show them what a close-knit community we are.'

'Any detectives will have to purchase their own bagels.'

It's unbelievable, really. They must think they are watertight.

They think they're gonna have no loose cannons in their community,

but this could potentially lead us

to more suspects and be their downfall.

Ready? Oh, there he is.

'As the White Horse Bandits' plan takes effect,

Laura can't help heading into town with her mum to see it in action.'

Hello.Hi.You all right?

Right, let's do this. Go down there.

'Bagels And Bakes is just round the corner from the police station.

The sudden influx of cash needs investigating.'

Today we've received a package through the post

from the guys that robbed the van, saying that they've gifted

Bagels And Bakes an amount of money to give away to Thirsk community.

Oh, ain't that lovely?So today, you can have your bagels for nothing.

No! Came on the right day.We did.

There you go, enjoy your free bagel courtesy of the White Horse Bandits.

Have an exciting day. I'll see you at the weekend, no doubt, thank you.

Right, let's go. Oh, come on, quick, quick.

Oh, hi.We're investigating the heist in Marage Road

on Sunday morning. Where's the money now?

In the till.Could we have a look at that, please?

Do you know how much money is there? £300.

Right, OK. Do you mind if we have a look at it

and have a look at the serial numbers cos we think that might be stolen from the heist.

Right, OK.OK.OK.

Could you drop that in there for a minute and I can have a look at it from here

cos I don't really want to touch it.

(PHONE RINGING)

Yes, mate?I was just wondering if you could just do us a check

on the serial numbers. Yeah, go for it.

If it is stolen we will be taking the money away cos it's stolen property.

Right.OK?OK. Give you a couple more.

Why do you think the letter has come to you?Maybe they like bagels?

Maybe it's somebody that actually enjoys Bagels And Bakes.

Three, five, nine.

Yeah, that's stolen as well, mate. Please tell me it's not stolen.

All notes that you were sent are stolen.

They're all stolen from that heist that we've been investigating.

We're gonna take that as evidence now.

This is gonna be a big financial hit on you but I'm sorry,

we're gonna take that as evidence.

You may not know who it is involved in it,

but they know you. That's what I think.

If it somebody that knows me then they wouldn't do what they've just done, would they?

Someone perhaps has taken you for a fool.

If you hear anything, you know, just let us know.

Yeah, OK.All right, OK. Thanks, guys. Thank you, all right.

Thank you for your time.OK. Thank you.

Think I'm gonna take the top off of this and sit them in there and put it all back on.

'Jonny and Emma have found a new hiding place

for some of their stolen money.'

(GROANS) Pass four bags up.

There's a bit of room round the outside.

Chuck in loose change round there, all right.

Bastard.

They're obviously on to us, so hopefully we're one step

ahead of them, but you never know with these bastards.

This morning we had a hit on the ANPR for Easton's black Qashqai.

Now that's registered to his fiancee and our feeling here

is that this money could be going towards the wedding.

'With nothing as yet to link Jonny to the heist,

Governor Sue decides to provoke a reaction.'

What we wanna do is to get in to him tonight, rattle his cage,

just see whether it might spark something cos at the moment

we have no evidence. We've only got intelligence.

We'll rattle some cages.

Who was that?

There's a car here. Get away, get away.

Hiya.Hiya, you all right?

My name's Craig.How are you? Alecia, nice to meet you.

Basically, we're investigating a theft that happened in Thirsk,

and we've been doing a lot of house-to-house enquiries

in the town centre, but the investigation made us think

that it may be more rural.Right. We're trying to drive

to all the farms and see if anyone's heard anything or anyone acting suspiciously

in the open areas.How close are you with any of your neighbours

around here?Pretty close.Yeah?

Yeah. My dad's a...Were you anywhere near town on the sixth?

No, we weren't, cos we're still lambing, you see.

You're lambing.We were busy lambing.So were you here on the sixth?

Yeah, yeah. We've been up at the farm lambing for the last month.

Busy time for you guys, then. You haven't had a chance to leave it.

Haven't slept properly for a month yet.Haven't you?

Have you been driving around?Some of our colleagues have been following other vehicles

that have been going out of town. There was two who came in...

Came in and went out again like. Cos living in here I know all the cars

that come in and out. We clock them. Got you.

We know the neighbours and two came in last night.

I guess there's only one way in and one way out.

You're engaged?Yeah.Oh, congratulations. When's the big day?

September.Have you got your dress?

Yeah.Honeymoon booked?No. We aren't getting paid a lot right now.

No.If we don't see you again, have a lovely wedding.Yeah.

Yeah. Cheers, thanks ever so much for your time.No worries.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Bye-bye.

I honestly don't know how real criminals who pull off robberies

and murders and...just go about their daily life.

It's not a nice feeling, really. That feeling of feeling sick

when you see a car come through that you don't know.

There's all this money at stake. We need it, don't we?

We can't afford to be...

being silly and letting them take it away from us.

But we just cannot get caught.

Oh.

Craig and Alecia, can you fill us in

on what happened with Jonathan Easton?

'The detectives share intel

following a visit to Jonny Easton's farm.'

She went, "Yeah, we're engaged." They've already paid for the dress.

I mentioned honeymoon and they both went, "Oh, pfft."

You know like, "That's never gonna happen."Right.

I think the honeymoon's maybe is a sticking point.

They certainly gave the impression they don't have the money for it.

This cash could really help. Weddings are not cheap.Yeah.

That's something else why they might be involved in this.Mm.

That's great piece of work. Easton now has to be a priority.

I think we've gotta get behind him, but equally today at 2:00,

we've got this public meeting.

'With only three suspects on their radar,

the detectives have a plan to bring forward

anyone with information about the heist.'

Ray.Yeah. OK, we've got the town hall meeting today.

When we're talking to people if you get any of that,

"Oh, well, this is the community against you",

no, it's not. It's a small band of villains and their associates

and people that they favour, so if you start getting that

let's put it down.

I'm a cop.All right. What's going on here, then?

'Dianne and Ian Kinghorn have buried 25 grand in their outdoor fire pit.

But Dianne is having second thoughts about the location.'

This looks very placed. No, don't touch it.

What do you think the police are gonna do?

Don't you touch it. Just leave it as it is.

I'd say we're quite complementary. We both have the same kind of

end goal but we both have different ways of getting there.

This is what a policeman's gonna do. Right, don't touch it. Just point.

Once he sets his mind to something, that's it.

I'm just gonna go like this. Oh, don't, don't touch it.

Because, look, you can see... I know, why do it now?

Come on, Di, think.

I'm a bit more sensible about some things,

but hopefully we can complement each other on our ideas.

Jesus Christ.I'm trying to show you the flaw in the plan.

Yeah, all right. Well don't. Go on, bugger off.

(DIALLING)Hi, Kymm. Hello, darling.

I need you to me a favour. Do you know the detectives

are having a meeting at the town hall?Yes, yes.

Well, we were thinking we'd have a bit of fun with them.

'Dianne is enlisting friend Kymm Queen

for another White Horse Bandit plan.'

I can't organise anything from here because I don't want any trace

on my phone.OK, I know who to use.

Get him to meet me an hour before the meeting

in Bagby.Yeah, I'll call him. Cheers, honey. (LAUGHS)

Can someone go get my hairbrush cos I need to put my wig on.

This is one of my dressing-up wigs. As in dressing-up party wigs.

Just in case he does crumble under police interrogation

he can say it was a woman, a woman with brown hair.

Mummy, change your voice.I'm gonna do a broad Yorkshire accent.

Yes, of course. Try and do it. 'Ey up.

Here's the money from the robbery.

This is really risky.I know.

I'm gonna get out, I'm gonna get out.Go on, then.

Don't be suspicious now, darling.

Never mind, just be normal.

The public meeting is a good tactic for a number of reasons.

What I'm hoping is they've been doing all this Robin Hood stuff.

They're clearly showing that they've bit of bravado,

they're having a bit of a laugh with us, and I'm hoping they do something

to show off, something which just tips the scales

and gives us a clue and gives us an in.

I hope that you are here to help me and my colleagues

find these people that have stolen £250,000.

You see a number of people come to this van

and they will take boxes of money out of it.

Now, it's a very blurry CCTV.

We can't tell who they are, but I think if you knew them,

if it's someone you know, you might recognise the way they walk

or something that they're wearing. Could be a family member,

could be someone that you work with.

What they're trying to do is say that they're Robin Hoods,

OK, so they're gonna put money into these shops

and give free things away. First of all, because it's stolen money

we have to take it back and give it to the rightful owners,

so those shops are finding themselves out of pocket

because the detectives are coming and taking the money as evidence.

So this not helping businesses in Thirsk.

They're playing you, they're playing you for fools.

Don't be fooled. This is a game they're playing.

You are being used as pawns, and I have absolute confidence

that the people of Thirsk can't be bought off

with a few iced buns, OK?

So now's the time I'm hoping that some of you

would like to ask some questions. Go on.

Is it true that all the money's in pound coins?

Is that an ice cream van?

Free ice cream from the White Horse Bandits.

Come and get your free ice cream.

Come and get your free ice cream from the White Horse Bandits.

'Dianne has brought the family along to take advantage of her own plan.'

Ice cream?Hello, free from the White Horse Bandits.

Free?!Yeah, they're a good group aren't they?Fantastic.

Oh.Who are they?

Thank you very much. Get out of here, come on. Come on.

Let's go, quick, quick.Free ice cream from the White Horse Bandits.

Come and get your free ice cream. Can I have three ice creams, please?

Yes, White Horse Bandits. (LAUGHS)

Hello. You know we're investigating this theft.

Someone's given you some money to give people free ice cream.

They did, yeah.Any money that you have that's been sent to you

is stolen money and you won't be able to keep it.OK.

OK?Right.Will you let me search the van to that effect?

Yeah, yeah.How did you come by the money?

What did he look like?

David, when you've done, will you bring this guy back with his van

to the police station?Yeah. Good stuff, mate.

Macca, this is the ice cream man's phone.Brilliant.

someone's contacted him to get him there at the right time,

Any numbers around the right time and if they connect...No problem.

..to anything we already know.Right, will do.Thanks, Macca. Brilliant.

'After examining the phone data

intelligence analyst Paul identifies a suspicious caller.'

She put three calls in to the ice cream van today.

What's her name?It's Kymm Queen. K-Y-M-M Queen.

What time did she call him? Three times between 12:21,

12:34 and 13:12.OK, and do we know anything else about her?

Is there any innocent connection likely between her and Dave,

the ice cream man from Harrogate? She does high-end wedding floristry.

'Kymm Queen is now a person of interest.

Following the public appeal information is starting to come in.'

(RINGING)Hello, Yorkshire police.

In 90-pound coins.

OK. Guys.

Jessica Bell. B-E-L-L?

OK.

Jack And Jill's Nursery.

Oh, right. So they have an account so you're wondering

why they would have paid with the pound coins.

Yeah, thank you so much, really appreciate it.

We'll get back to you if we've got any more enquiries.

All right thank you. Bye.

That's interesting.

We've had a call from a local business

and they've had someone come in to buy some sand

and she's paid for it with 90-pound coins.

We've got a detective team going up to talk to them

and I'm really pleased that the public appeal has worked,

and I think this will give us a lead.

'Laura and Jess are heading back to the nursery

to pick up some of their stash for another shopping trip.'

So straight to nursery?Yeah.

Pull the CCTV out, go out the back door.

Might have to bring it round into the playground.

Standby with white vehicle, two up.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no.Shall I just turn it around?

No, no. What have I come to collect? I've got the money on me.

So have I, in my bag. Just go in.

Go in.

Who are they? Hi, you all right there?

Yeah, how are you doing? Yeah, good thanks.

Who are you? Can I ask your name? Jessica Bell.

Jessica, can we have a chat with you?Right now?

Yeah is that OK? We'll literally take two minutes of your time.

Don't know.

Thank you, go on, after you. Don't know what's going on.

Who's your friend?That's my sister.

Oh, really?Yeah. What's her name?Laura.

We're investigating the heist that took place in Thirsk

on Sunday morning at 7:00. I've seen this on Facebook.

So we've been asking local businesses to come forward

if they've had any unusual cash transactions,

and just enquiring into the office today was that you had been

to JP Atkinson's and bought some clay pit sand with £90 worth of coins.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I have. I have, absolutely.

Yeah, we go to Atkinson's quite a lot from nursery.

We go about once every two or three months.

Right. He says that you have an account,

a business account with them. We do have an account

but we always pay cash transaction cos we have resources kitty.

So what's a resource kitty?I'll show you exactly what a resources kitty is.

Thank you.It's this little tub down here.

We do all sorts of fundraising for and then all the money

that's in here, we spend on the children's resources.

Right, OK.I.e. sand.

Who were you with when you made the purchase for the sand pit?

My sister, Laura.Laura.

(SINGING WITH CAR RADIO)

Jessica, I need to ask you, can you tell me what you were doing

on Sunday morning from 6:30?Oh, God. I stayed at Laura's house

on Saturday night.OK. With my husband and my two children.

Yeah.And her husband as well. Well, all right,

we won't take up any more of your time.I might have a quick word

with your sister if that's all right. Yeah.Just while we pass.

Yeah. No problem.Thanks.Thank you.

I just want to confirm with you, Laura, where you were

on Sunday morning? At home with my children.

And also with Jess and Darren. Jess, my sister and Jess's two children

as well.OK.Yesterday morning, when you went and bought some sand

together...Yeah, we went to Atkinson's.

Do you know where those pound coins came from that you used?

The resources, I think she said. Do you work here as well?No.

My mum owns nursery.Ah.So I'm always in and out of here.

All right, lovely. We won't take any more of your time.Thank you.

Cheers.Bye-bye.

Thank you.

All right, we'll talk about this. Where do you want me to drive

to though now?I do not know. OK, all right.

She is a right cow.Is she?

She was so harsh that I thought, "Hang on a minute, lady."

(PHONE RINGING)

Hi, Ray.100% my instincts are telling me

that Jessica Bell and her sister are in on this.

100%. We were interviewing her and she was going bright red.

She just looked incredibly nervous to me.

And had a very well rehearsed... Alibi.

Excellent, brilliant. Have you got a date of birth for her?I have.

'Having identified two new suspects, Laura Hoyland and Jessica Bell,

the detectives now have call data

from Jonny Easton's fiancee, Emma Webster.'

Gov, you know how they said they were getting married at home

and they were too skint for a big wedding and can't afford a honeymoon.

Over the last couple of days she's called a travel agency...Honeymoon.

Where's the travels? Where's that? It's in Helmsley where they live.

Is it?It's only a little travel agent, yeah. Local to them

but they've obviously lied to us and are planning something big.

'With evidence building that Jonny and Emma are lying

about their honeymoon plans, Governor Sue has come up with a new strategy.'

The plan is we're gonna nick Easton. You and Craig are gonna nick him.

Yeah.Then Ray and I will come in and what we'll do, Ray,

we'll get into Emma and we're gonna lay down a bug with Easton

being taken away and that pressure building,

maybe she might actually say something

and hopefully something will come out of this bug.

So what we're hoping to do is to drop a listening device.

This kind of thing is very hit and miss.

It just depends whether the people talk or not

and whether they're in the right place. But it has paid dividends

in the past and it can be effective.

Thought I might as well use some pound coins up from the heist.

I'm just gonna grab fish and chips.

We've got a live ANPR hit. Stand by, everyone.

Easton's on the move. He's heading down the B1257.

So the Isuzu D Max is on the move.

Where it's pinged is 20 minutes away from here.Let's get after it.

Let's do it, let's go.

Come on.

Right, let's go. (WHISTLING)

Oh, she's busy.

It's half past six. Where would you be going now?

Cos a lot of the shops are shut. I don't know,

maybe going to pick up curry or something as simple as that.

Can I have fish, a battered sausage and chips, please.

How much?

Right, it's in pound coins.

Seven, eight, nine...

This is his local town he was at earlier on.

If he's gonna park anywhere he'd park on that.

Shall we just check it?Yeah.

Black pick up. Victor-Foxtrot-Sierra.

Oh, my God. There it is, there it is, there it is, there it is.Boom!

Get Gov on the phone.

She's there, she's there, she's there.

Hello?Boss, we've got them, they're here, they're here.

Repeat, we're in company. Stop for us.

Having a fish and chips?They are right in the middle of the village

called Helmsley, eating their fish and chips in the car.

Just nick him, he's eating his fish and chips, I don't care, nick him.

We'll come and meet you there. All right, bye.

Got a bit of bad news for you.Yeah.

Some information that has come to our attention.

Right.Makes us believe that you're involved in the theft

we were speaking to you about the other day. For this reason

I'm arresting you for theft. You do not have to say anything

but anything you do say can be used as evidence. Do you understand that?

Yeah.

There they are. She looks frightened to death, that girl.

Bless her. But good for us.

Our other officers are here. You'll be coming to the police station.

OK. I'm taking hold of your hand. Yeah, yeah.

No, no, no, no.

Mind your head.Yeah.

If there's anything here now to save us time...

So, Emma, we believe that Jonathan is involved in the heist on Sunday.

You've heard about that, haven't you?

'With Jonny in custody Governor Sue is questioning

his fiancee Emma separately,

allowing the detectives to look for discrepancies in their stories.'

Tell me, when Jonathan got taken away just now,

did you not think it was strange that he didn't say,

"I had nothing to do with it, I'm not involved."

Yet never said, "No, I don't know what this is all about."

Do you not think that's a bit odd? Well, yeah, but I'm not Jonny.

I can't speak for Jonny.But you're gonna get married to him.

He must have spoken to you about this, Emma. He must have done.

I've got things that I don't tell Jonny.

Jonathan, account for your whereabouts during

the morning of Sunday...Yeah...from approximately 6:00 in the morning.

Talk me through your day.Yeah.

Probably same as every other day. I would've been up at five-ish,

just checking my sheep. Then probably come back for another hour

in bed or so like that, and I'd get up at around 6:30

something like that, 6:30, 7:00. Go up and feed the sheep as normal,

have a bit of breakfast, 8:30, 9:00.

Where was he last Sunday?So we were up doing sheep work with his dad

on the farm.And he never moved away?We were doing it all day.

OK.Did you see him there?

We were getting the sheep in together, so yeah.

What time was that? We started about eight-ish.

OK. Tell me about your wedding arrangements.

It's a private thing. I understand.

OK. All right, Emma, I don't want you getting upset.

Please don't be getting upset. But Jonathan...

And this is difficult. I don't want to upset you, Emma.

That's not why we're here.

Wedding all bought and paid for?

Um...no, we're sort of saving up and doing, you know...

Perfect reason as to why you'd need a little bit of money to pay off

a wedding.Well, her mum and dad's been pretty good actually.

Generally...Helping out?

They're helping out bit but we have a few little things to pay for.

You do live with Jonathan, so you are gonna be his future wife,

and you would think that if he was involved in something like this

he would discuss it with you? You'd think, yeah.

I'm a bit shocked that if he is involved that,

that he's not said anything. Emma, we're in a really difficult

situation because I truly believe that Jonathan is involved in this.

I can't tell you what I...No, we're not asking you to tell us anything.

Listen, I'm not asking you tell me a lie. I know you're distressed.

He hasn't told me anything. I can't force it.No, OK.

OK.

Since this has taken place you started ringing places,

you started looking at potential honeymoons.

Since this theft you started making all these enquiries.

Nothing on your phone records before that.

No. But all the wedding stuff, you know.

Since we had finished lambing and things calmed down a bit

it's when we start do a bit of the wedding stuff.You're lying.

I'm not lying.You're desperately clinging on to the fact that you might be able to keep this money.

We're gonna find it, but as soon as you're charged anyway

the money's gone. So you might as well just come clean.

I haven't done anything. I haven't taken any money.

'With no evidence to link Emma to the heist

Ray leaves a listening device to record

any conversation after the detectives have left.'

Right, you're gonna be released from the police station.

'The detectives have insufficient evidence

to charge Jonny but the investigation into Emma's contact

with the local travel agent continues.'

So intelligence that Emma Webster and Jonathan Easton

entered a local travel agent in the marketplace in Helmsley

and paid five grand in cash for a holiday to the Maldives.

Oh. Oh, no wonder she was upset.

That's their honeymoon isn't it? That's her honeymoon, Paula.

My heart breaks.

Sit.

As far as the police go I think we're a bit cautious,

a bit on edge all the time. If they'd had anything concrete

they would've kept me in and charged me so they were trying

to and get me to confess. Well, they had nothing.

Emma's very fragile. I mean, over the last few days there were a lot

of pressure on her, but I think she'll be all right.

Hi, Dennis, it's Emma.

'As the case against the couple builds,

the detectives have now also retrieved the listening device

from their home. It reveals a phone call between Emma and Jonny's dad.'

So we've just listened to surveillance audio

from Jonathan Easton's house.

Emma Webster was calling Dennis Easton,

who we believe is the father of Jonathan,

and she asked him to lie about his whereabouts on the day of the heist,

which obviously makes her a suspect. Jonathan's already a suspect.

Gov, me and Alecia have just been listening to the device.

Yeah, she's trying to get Dennis Easton to give her an alibi.

Basically asking him to cover for their whereabouts on Sunday.

She's gotta come in today, Gov. Yeah.Yeah.

Get them in.Yeah.

'The detectives now have enough evidence

to arrest Jonny and Emma and carry out a full search of their property.'

We know that Emma's involved from the listening device.

We know they've spent £5,000 on a honeymoon.

The chances are the rest of that money is up at the farm.

Hi, Jonathan. Wanna pop on out a minute?

Your missus around as well, Emma? Yeah. Em.

You're under arrest for theft. You do not have to say anything

but anything you do say may be given in evidence.Right.

Do you understand?Yeah. Emma, the same goes for you.

You're under arrest for suspicion of theft. Anything you do say

may be used in evidence against you, understand?I have to be back at 7:00

in the morning cos I need to be here to deal with that.

We can't change the situation that you've put yourself in.

If we're not finished with you by the time you need to be back to work...

If you wanna tell us here and now where that cash is

so we don't have to keep you to conduct a full search.

I haven't got any fucking cash. You're lying. Stop lying.

Listen, you'll be with us for the rest of the night while your farm

gets searched.We've got a warrant to search the property.

We've got a police search team here.

A POLSA team are highly trained in search tactics

and they'll do it very, very slowly, very methodically.

And you've got a real chance of getting something back,

and I think they will. And if we find it, it's game over.

So we know that there's money in this house.

Stop wasting everybody's time. There's no money anywhere.

We haven't done anything.

If you're taking it apart make sure you have someone lined up

who can put it back together, right.

Oh, you absolute beauty.

'Next time on the Heist...'

Man up and take responsibility.

Either finish me off or fuck off.

They're having us over and they're taking the piss.

This is for the White Horse Bandits. Cheers.

Is this them hiding the money? No! Oh.

I don't need to cooperate with you. Are you thick?

He's a wrong 'un.

Get your fingers away. The detectives are here.

Oh, my God.
