Original subtitles

13 days ago, 10 ordinary folk from North Yorkshire

stole a quarter of a million pounds.

Go, go, go.

Hurry up!Jonny fill the cash bag.

ALL: White Horse Bandits!

People that are so far up their own arses

they could clean their teeth from the inside. Let's get them.

Stop police.Stop right there.

A team of detectives has already caught and charged five of the bandits...

(SOBS) I'm sorry.

..most recently stay-at-home mum Dianne Kinghorn.

We found your DNA on the clasp

of one of the cash boxes. That's a good one.

Ian?Yeah.I've been arrested and charged.

Oh.

Now five thieves remain.

They're not going to break me.

I'm just exhausted now.

I feel that I have the upper hand.

Cool as a cucumber.

It's not good. It's really, really not good now.

In three days time, those thieves still at large

must meet at a secret location...

..to launder their stolen cash for clean notes...

..before making a bid for freedom...

Good luck.Yeah, you too.

..each with their own cut... Go, go, go, go, go, go!

..worth £25,000.

Let's dig in deep and get these people in.

So I can either wait for them to come knocking...

There!

..or do a runner.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Come and get me!

Right. Let's just get this shit together now.

Ah, four litres of water that should be enough.

Knife.

That needs to go near the top just in case they've got eyes in the sky.

Last night Ian Kinghorn discovered

his wife and partner in crime, Dianne,

had been charged for her part in the heist.

Two days ago Ian was summoned to the police station...

(BELL RINGS)

I am placing you under arrest on suspicion of theft.

..and given the third degree.

Why is there a £10 note in your wallet that's come from the heist?

I don't know. I got it in change from somewhere.Oh, my God.

He was released on bail due to insufficient evidence

and is now taking drastic action.

I've got to go to ground, go out and hide.

I really wasn't planning on skipping police bail.

Who would have thought this a couple of weeks ago?

Oh, we got a live... last near cell site for Kinghorn.

So Kinghorn at ten o'clock this morning was...

..at home.

Since charging his wife with theft,

the detectives have been closely monitoring Ian.

We put a sentry cam outside his address

and we have got a live financial trace on him

so if he uses his bank card

we would know where he is.

Concerned he is a flight risk, they've placed a tracker on his car.

I find it really hard to believe that Dianne Kinghorn

could have stolen £25,000

and hidden it and her husband knew absolutely nothing about it.

They're just not that sort of couple.

I think he's involved.

I think now we're gonna arrest him,

bring him in and see if he crumbles under pressure.

Deputy Ray Howard and Guv'nor Sue Hill head to Ian's home address.

We're off.

In order to keep his £25,000 share of the stolen cash,

Ian must evade the detectives for another three days.

You work your arse off all year and, at the end of the day, it just covers the bills

It'd be nice to have a bit of extra cash to treat the girls.

I mean, they've been brilliant.

This is the final chapter now.

Let's go out with a bang.

Be really nice to pounce on him while he's moving the money.

(EXHALES DEEPLY) Let's do it.

MAN: You not taking your phone?No, no, no.

There's something in the trees over there.

That looks like Kinghorn.

Fucking hell.

No good?Do you know what? It was all so quick.

I went in the direction of the movement and then it was gone.

Uhhh.Perfect escape route out into there under the road.

Can't be seen from the main road and you're gone.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Good thing all the leaves have come out now.

You've got plenty of canopy cover.

I just hope it wasn't him.I bet it was.

Yeah, I bet it was but I want it not to be.

It'll have a bitter taste in its mouth when they know I'm missing.

Fuck. We could have had him red-handed then.

They'll be checking now. "Why did we have to bail him?"

(LAUGHS) "We should have kept him locked up."

I am fucking annoyed.

Ian is one of five thieves who remain at large

with £125,000 of stolen money.

In three days time they must all rendezvous

in the coastal town of Whitby...

..where they will receive instructions on how to launder their dirty money

for clean, untraceable cash.

The detectives are currently unaware of this plan

but they do know they're running out of time to charge the remaining suspects.

Right, guys, D-day is fast approaching.

We're up against it now.

We really need to catch these thieves today.

First of all we've got sisters Jessica Bell and Laura Hoyland.

They are eluding us because they are very clever.

Jessica was in last night, stony-faced, stoic, not giving anything away.

Laura Hoyland got a bit feisty.

You're thinking I'm lying? I am thinking you're lying.

Good judge of character. Right - Fuck off.

There's very little chance that any of these people are gonna roll over and tell us the truth.

So every single point we are gonna have to have factual evidence.

They're trying their best to build a case and get as much evidence as they possibly can.

And all we're doing is messing with them while they're working.Yeah.

Can nearly see the winning post.

Just need to outwit them,

outrun then, outsmart them...

..and waste their bloody time.

We're not going to mess up now. Loving the bandits today.

We are the bandits.

JESSICA: 'Time is slipping away for these poor buggers.'

Now Jonathan Pearson. We know from all the information

intelligence leads to Pearson, who's done this for his disabled son.

He's gone walkabout, can't locate him.

Friends, associates, everything - let's find out where he is.

I think his dad needs to be in it, Norman Pearson.

How about this? We'll go and see Norman Pearson again...Yeah.

..and put some more pressure on him.

I'm just trying to get some snacks together cos it could be 48 hours

before I eat again so...

Drinks, something to eat. I'm hardly gonna stay around here, am I?

I've gotta go.

Get me stuff together, give me head a shake and get out of here.

Don't ever become a robber, I tell you that.

Norman's partner in crime at the heist was his son Jonathan.

It's what casual bandits do, fish at the weekend.

It's very tiring work though, being a robber.

A load of cars have just come in, Dad.

After a close encounter with the detectives...

Dad, run, run, run, run.

..they decided to split up.

It's got a bit scary.

We'll stand a better chance if we go our separate ways.

Now Norman has no idea where his son is.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

I made it to my next destination now.

Good run, smacked my arm as I climbed over a wall.

Jonathan is still in Thirsk,

hiding out with friends just 50 metres from his own front door,

so he can remain close to his family.

(LAUGHS)It's gonna come down. Ready?

My son Charlie, he's got cerebral palsy

but he's just an absolute diamond to have as a son.

Oh!

We're doing this for Charlie

to make sure he's got enough in a bank somewhere

so if he needs equipment we can get it.

If we keep thinking of that we'll make it to the end.

'If I get caught, I don't think I could forgive myself.'

One final message for Charlie.

When you get to understand this...

..I'm doing it, doing it for you. Doing it for you.

If we had weeks to solve this crime, this team would solve it.

There is no doubt about that whatsoever.

We don't. We have days and that's gonna be tough.

The detectives believe Norman Pearson

is the elusive final member of the White Horse Bandits

following the discovery of CCTV footage

which appears to show him and his son

handling stolen money in the local garden centre.

There's no child in there. He's moved the money.

They're not placing the money, they're retrieving it. So Norman's bang on.

Arrest him.Boom.DNA, fingerprints. Boom.

We're en route now. We're three minutes away.

Two detective units are despatched to Norman's home

with instructions to arrest him on sight.

But Norman's about to retrieve his money

from its current hiding place in a nearby field.

(LAUGHS)

Here we are.

Right, George, you take the front I'll go round the back.

Right, let's do this.

Right, I've gotta go.WOMAN: Oh! hang on a minute.

Oh, what? Hurry up, Steph, what?

I've got the sandwiches.Bye.

There he is.

Norman, can you stop there a minute?

BOTH: Norman.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Stay, stay, stay.

Norman.Your lot are there.Come on.

Right, Norman, why were you running away?

Norman Pearson, one of the five remaining thieves,

is taken in for questioning.

Put your hands on the desk.

Mr Pearson, you've been arrested because you are accused of theft. Do you understand?

Yes.Yeah. I don't think it's a smirking matter myself.

No.We have the right to hold you for 24 hours.

You need to have a think. Maybe let us know where your boy is, eh?

(WHISTLES)

Just holing up at moment with Danny and Zoe, my accomplices.

I never ever thought it would be this hard.

(SIGHS)

I've only been away from my wife and kids for two days

and that's breaking me.

I'm at breaking point with that.

Oh, I don't wanna do it. I don't wanna do it.

Oh!

ZOE: Jon.What?

You won't have seen on Facebook but your dad's caught.No?!

Stacey's put a picture holding a banner

saying #FreeNorm in the street.

So I think he's caught.

Oh, Norm. (SIGHS)

At home as well.

I'm gutted for my dad, don't get me wrong, but I've gotta keep...

I can't let myself get, you know, affected by that

cos that'll make me make a mistake and make me get caught.

All the comments say he tried to leg it but they caught him.

If I disguise myself, it makes them look more than once and that'll do me.

God, so much hair is coming off.

It makes you look so much younger.

God, I've got a skinny face.

Oh, my gosh. On the White Horse Bandits page...

#FreeNorm.

They've literally got a white sheet that they've...Banner.

..made into a banner.

ALL CHANT: Free Norm! Free Norm! Free Norm! Free Norm!

"We're thinking of you, Norm. They need evidence to charge you, don't give them a thing."

ALL CHANT: Free Norm! Free Norm! Free Norm! Free Norm!

Free Norm! Free Norm! Free Norm! Free Norm!

(LAUGHS)

Free Norm!Free Norm!

Whoo!Free Norm!Free Norm!

Free Norm?

They've arrested our friend. They think he's one of the White Horse Bandits.

And we can't have that. We need him out.

Well, unfortunately, he's been taken into custody.

Shall I go and explain to them how it all works?

(CHANTING CONTINUES)

We won't let him go just because they're outside with a banner.

As you've been arrested, we've got the right

to take your fingerprints and a sample of your DNA.

Open your mouth.

If I've got Norman Pearson's fingermarks

or DNA on a cash box,

if I can put him directly in the crime scene, brilliant - he's gone.

Norman Pearson, tell me about your involvement in the heist?

I have no involvement at all.

OK. You do understand about forensic evidence?

That we can compare your fingermarks on those cash boxes.

There's no way you're going to find my...

any marks from me cos I wasn't there.

Have you been to the garden centre in the last two weeks?

To the garden centre?

Where Jonathan works.Oh, yes, I have been to the garden centre.

Tell me then, what did you remove?

What did you remove from the garden centre?

What did I remove from the garden centre?When you were with Jonathan.

I didn't remove anything from the garden centre.

Really?

Last week, Norman and Jonathan used a buggy

to smuggle nearly £4,000 worth of coins

into the garden centre, where they spent the lot.

Cheers, bud.

Do you know they've got CCTV at the garden centre?I haven't a clue.

Yeah.

You and Jonathan were together with your buggy

moving something which I believe... I was.....is the money.

I was at the garden centre, yes.

I was at the garden centre with my dogs.

Where does the buggy come into it then?

The buggy?Yeah.

Well, the dog's had a poorly leg for long enough.

So, the dog's in the buggy?Yes.

Right.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello?WOMAN: Bad news, innit?

Do you know, I've got a house full of police, a house full of police.

Fuck.

I know your father's innocent, end of.

If you do the kitchen, Dave, I'll go in here.

With no concrete evidence on Norman,

detectives Georgina Bradley and David Laing search his house

hoping to find something incriminating.

All we need to do is find a bag of pound coins here

or even one £10 note with one of the serial numbers

that matches and we're there.

But without that, we are...up shit creek without a paddle.

Norman, I'm suggesting to you that you and Jonathan were at the heist.

You stole that cash, you concealed it at the garden centre...

and put it in your buggy and took that away.

No. It's not true.

Well, it is true. I've seen the CCTV.

OK, if you say that. It's not true.

It's not true?No.

Right, Norman, I've heard enough.

You will be released on bail under investigation.

This interview is now concluded.OK.

We are absolutely confident that Norman's done it,

but we can't prove it.

Our last chance is a positive result on DNA

but, until then, we're gonna have to let him go.

(CHEERING AND WHOOPING)

MAN: Norman!

ALL CHANT: Norman's innocent, Norman's free!

Norman's innocent, Norman's free!

He might be free but he's not innocent.

With Norman released, Guv'nor Sue and her team

turn their attention to his son.

So, Jonathan Pearson. We can't find anything more about where he is.

So, we need to do some more work around associates

and who else could be helping.

Desperate for a lead, intelligence analyst Paula Grant

is looking further into Jonathan's network - starting with his wife.

Katy Pearson used to be Katy Baxter.

I've looked on her phones and she has called a Helen Baxter

and I've looked on open source as well.Right.

And I'm convinced that this is her sister.Right.

She really loves his son and we know that his motivation is his son.

Another person who Katy's called is Zoe Sygrove.

It was a bit difficult to find her at first because she's recently got married.

Right.She was a Zoe Brown. So we're gonna be looking for vehicles

linked to her address and Helen Baxter's...

Right...and any other people.

I think he's pretty safe here.

There's nothing at the moment tied to us.

I honestly don't think they're watching us.

We could say that though and they could be on it. You just don't know.

(KEY RATTLES IN LOCK)

That way or that way?

What are you doing? Oh, my God. Who's that?You scared the...

Oh, you're a dick.(CHUCKLES)

Brrrr!Right.

With time ticking away, which one would you prioritise us to look at?

Baxter or Zoe?Well, I think we should look at Zoe Sygrove

because when I've looked into open source, her and her husband

are really, really close friends of Katy and Jonathan.

And they live not too far from each other at all.

Let's make that the priority. Phones, everything, around that address.

If you can get in the car and get ready. I need to get my loot first.

Jonathan has asked Zoe to drive him to a scrapyard two miles down the road

to collect his hidden cash before he makes his way to Whitby.

I'm starting to feel quite nervous now.

Anything could happen, good or bad.

I just have to hope for t'best.

Right, get going, Zo. I need to get there quick as possible.

(COMPUTER PINGS) There's a live ANPR hit, guys.

Yeah. BV65?Yeah.

Following Paula's investigations,

Zoe's car has been placed on the detectives' ANPR hotlist.

Make sure you check in all t'roads. Yeah.

We're not being followed anyway.

Shall we call Alecia and Craig? Yeah.

MAN: Car's on the move. It's coming down the A61.

It's halfway between Carlton Miniott and the Jaipur Spice roundabout.

We're just approaching the roundabout now.

HOWARD: Can you guys park up by the Indian restaurant

and stay out of sight?

You're looking for a black Nissan Note.

Copy that, sir.Yeah.

Hoping that Zoe will lead them to Jonathan,

detectives Craig Stevens and Alecia Emerson-Thomas lie in wait.

We're in position.The plan at the moment, is as far as possible,

we want a loose follow, loose follow.

But I don't want you to show out. Copy that, sir.

Heart's racing. Absolutely racing.

Oh, God.

Righto.

Nothing about? Right, this is working then.

Nissan Note, Nissan Note. What's the...

We've got a black Nissan Note going left left left at the roundabout.

We'll follow it because it's our only chance.

Keep it going. If there's nothing behind you, you can wait for me.

Right.

Pulled in.It's pulled in.

(TYRES SCREECH)What a spot.

Fucking bushes. Fucking hate bushes.

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

That's him there. He just got into the car.Flash, flash, flash, flash!

They've run off, they've driven off.

He's driven off, he's driven off!

We've got a make off. Making off.

The detectives have just spotted thief Jonathan Pearson in his friend Zoe's car...

We're on way, we're on way. ..and are in pursuit.

We're gonna start moving down. Just start moving.

Ah, who is it? What? So they're following us?

Yeah.Right, let me out, let me out. Stop stop stop!

Go, go, go!

Fucking hell.

He's on foot, on foot. He's on foot, running.

He's gone through the hedgerow.

Which way's he gone? He's gone to ground somewhere here.

Where is he now? So he's made off in the woods?

You got eyes on, Alecia? No. Negative.

Where are you?

Alecia. watch the field.

I'm going left. Right, OK.

We got eyes on both sides. Let's work through the bush...

slowly but surely.

Can't see him here.

How the fuck could he have got in there?

I've got eyes on. Craig, this way! Coming.

I can see you, mate. You might as well come out.All right.

Come on, then. This way. Work your way this way.

Bring it, yeah. Good try.

Argh! Fucking bastard walked right into a twig again.

Walk towards me. Can you help me, please?

Yeah, yeah.

He's definitely had his bag. My face is...When he ran?

Yeah, he definitely had it.

You'll be OK. We'll get you medical care.

I'm a bit worried. All right, all right.

I was doing it for my son. Yeah.

I'd love to go and see my kids.

Cheers. Thank you. All right, pal. Here we go.

He definitely had a bag with him. He's got it in his possession. We need to find it.

Ah, I've seen it. It's all right, there is a bag here.

A blue holdall. Yeah, that's the one. Top man.

I'll get you checked out first. I'm fine. Honestly I'm fine.

Just wipe you up, clean you up. I just want my family.OK.

I only did it for my family. I do everything for my family. It's over.

Come on!Bring it on!

Let's have a look, then. Show us the money.

Boom! Well done, everyone.

Well done, everyone. That was a tough one.

Jonathan's capture in possession of stolen money

means the detectives have all the evidence they need to charge him.

I gave it my best shot. Yeah, good effort.I failed.

You went down fighting, didn't you? I tried.

If anyone, anyone could have got the better of us,

we were hoping it was you. Ah... Thank you.

No, mean it, mate.

If I could have found a hole in that hedge,

I'd have kept on running until my adrenalin ran out.

But once I saw the dead end in the hedge, I knew I was done for.

I'll tell you right now this'll be the last act I ever do criminal.

If I ever have to do something that takes me away from my family again,

I wouldn't do it. Not a chance. They mean everything to me.

Right, Mr Pearson, you are now charged with theft.

All the cash stolen from the heist by you will now be confiscated,

do you understand that? I do.

With two days to go, four thieves remain at large.

£100,000 of stolen money remains hidden across North Yorkshire.

The thieves' ultimate objective is to transport their loot

to a secret location in Whitby

to launder it for clean, unmarked notes.

We've now got less than 48 hours to charge these people.

Where are they likely to go? They're gonna be on the run with that money.

We need to be in front of them, not behind.

We don't know at the moment what the suspects' end game is,

but we've just seen Jonathan pick up his cash

and try really desperately to get out of town.

We have to assume that the others are gonna do the same.

And if that's the case, this is a golden opportunity to catch them red-handed.

We know that Jessica Bell, Laura Hoyland were involved in this

and they will have to try and move this money, I think.

It'd be lovely if we could kind of pounce when they're doing that.

The detectives have all vehicles associated with Jessica and Laura under surveillance.

This is a VTD.

Stands for Vehicle Tracking Device,

so we lump it to the underside of a car

and the software on our computers monitors where it goes.

So at the moment we've got one deployed on Laura Hoyland's vehicle.

We believe they've just parked up at their home address.

I don't know what they've got.

They might have more than what they've let on to me.

Jessica and Laura were recently arrested and questioned by the detectives...

I didn't realise that spending coins was a crime.

Go and check it! We will.Good!

..but were released due to lack of evidence.

I should feel terrible, cos they're on to me,

but I...I'm not convinced they've got enough.

So, going forward, what are we gonna do about moving the loot?

I've no idea. I don't know what to do.

I think the further and further we get,

the more risks we've gotta take.

We're in this to beat the detectives.

That is our number one priority.

Who can move faster, who can be smarter and who really wants to win.

They raised the stakes and we raised them higher.

Live cell site.

Guv, we've got live trace on the Bells and Hoylands

and they're on their way up the A170 to Helmsley.

As well as their vehicles, the detectives are tracking all phones

belonging to the sisters and their husbands.

This is Jessica Bell and the two Hoylands' phones.

They're all together?Yeah. In the same car?

They've hit that one and then there.

Why don't we just get out and see whether we can get behind them?

Olly? Just keep a track on them because they potentially now might have cash on them.

If you feed Dave where where to go. Yeah.

We suspect maybe they're moving money out towards the moors,

so we feel like we're kind of starting to think a bit like them,

and understanding how they might be planning things.

Cautiously hopeful, yeah.

To Helmsley. Take a left.

They've been coming out of Helmsley trying to get back on...

it looks like back on to the A170.

So now we're just going across the top now.

We're gonna just go and back onto the A170.

Ray? 'Hang on, hang on, stand by.'

We're right behind the vehicle now. We're right behind.

Oh, we've got 'em, we've got 'em. Behind the vehicle.

He's flashing us. Is he?Yeah.Bollocks.

(BEEPS) They've pulled over. We're stopping them.

I feel like I really want these guys.

If they've got any money on them, I'm gonna be so thrilled.

Do you mind if I look through the vehicle?

I am really enjoying watching Dave get in all those nooks and crannies.

Don't steal it, Dave.

(LAUGHS)

'Hello. Dave.'

We've searched the vehicle. Nothing in it, no receipts.

Looked for the bag, nothing on them. 'Oh, damn it.

OK, we'll just have to let them go.' All received.

So they've come up here, back down...

the A170 for a bit, then back up again.Yeah.

Just don't make any sense. I just think they were mucking about. I dunno.

Analysts Olly and Macca map out the route

recorded by Jess and Laura's tracking device.

Have they drawn something out? I think I've worked out what they...

A white horse?No. What?

Absolute arseholes. Mother (BLEEP)!

They've drawn a cock and balls on the map.

That is offensive and disrespectful. I agree.

I'm halfway between disgusted

and, er, full of admiration for them.(LAUGHS)

I don't know what to think.

They stuck trackers on our cars... and we found them.

(LAUGHS)

You fucking dirty bastards!

It's a tracker.

Honestly, they think we were born yesterday.

So we decided we would draw with our tracker in the car a willy.

Jess, it took us hours.

Looking at maps to try and find the shape.

That's not as easy as you think. No, I can imagine.

Every time we got a good, um, like, penis we,

we couldn't get the testicles.

We have basically wasted a day of their search.

We've smashed it out the park.

I have helped track down murderers, rapists,

paedophiles and drug dealers,

but if we don't catch the Hoylands, I swear to God I will go mental.

This will be a career highlight, catching these fuckers.

As another day ends,

the detectives' window of opportunity

to catch the remaining White Horse Bandits is closing.

I think I need a good bath and a good shower. I feel like shit.

Since his wife Dianne was charged,

Ian has dodged the detectives by living rough in the woods.

But today with his journey to Whitby in mind,

he plans to retrieve his money from its current hiding place

in a neighbour's garden.

Today's primary objective is get the money without getting caught.

But if I get through that, then that's it, I can start believing the dream.

I'm gonna need a lot of luck today.

Eyes peeled back into civilisation again.

To get his cash, Ian has to go back to his home village.

We're on.

Just gotta get in, get out. Get the money out.

Sorry, Mike.

Let's go.

Ian is also risking a visit to his local pub

to do something he planned before he went to ground.

It's a letter I've just written to the Yorkshire Ambulance.

I wat to give them £1,000.

I lost, uh, a good mate of mine,

his father, in a helicopter crash about 11 years ago now.

They were involved in that tragic event. Yeah.

(LAUGHS)

So I really want them to get this money.

Brilliant. Steve, I want to give to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. ..

Yeah.Can you make sure they get it? Yeah.

£1,000 and, uh...

Appreciate it, mate.

Right, we're gonna go this way.

Least I know they've got that whatever happens now,

and, uh, yeah, we're good, we're good.

(PHONE RINGING)

Incident room. 'Hi, there...'

The detectives have appealed for information about any donations

made by the White Horse Bandits.

If I need anything else, I'll call you back. But thank you very much.

'No problem. Thanks. Bye-bye.' Bye.

Guv, just a quick thing. We've just a phone call come in.

A bag, a shopping bag with £1,000, has been left at the Whitestonecliffe Inn

and it's been signed off "White Horse Bandits".

I fancy the Kinghorn. It's Ian Kinghorn.

Yeah.His local. Oh, it's his local, yeah?Yeah.

We know Kinghorn hasn't been out in his car today.

He's gone off on foot and he's still in the area.

Detectives Dave Bolton and Irene Afful race to launch the drone

and sweep the area around the pub before Ian can get away.

We do need to get this drone up ASAP.

We'll get that bad boy. Jeez!Whoop! (LAUGHS)

A bit dehydrated. Head's gone now.

Half a mile from the pub, and carrying over £21,000,

Ian is making his way to a friend's farm.

This is where I'm gonna hopefully get some help.

I'm gonna go quiet on this bit cos we need to look and listen

before we... Just in case.

This is close to home, this is a place

I imagine they will be coming and looking and asking questions.

(PHONE RINGING)

'Hello, Dave.' All right, guv?

Just to give you an update. We're with the drone.

'We're gonna put it up as high as we can and get a nice shot.'

Hopefully we can tip something up.

Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed.

As well as catching Ian,

the detectives still need conclusive evidence

of his involvement in the heist.

Crime scene manager Jane has recovered the note left with the donation...

Yeah?

..to compare with a notepad taken from Ian's house.

Now, interestingly, if you look at some of his capital Ms,

there's a few in here where there's a little loop.

See that loop there? Look at that loop there.

He definitely wrote it. It was so obvious when I...That is the same!

And his Ys. Look at the open Y. It's exactly the same.

You cannot... That... Is the same.Yes!

Let's get him out the game!

With everything else we've got around him,

we've got enough to charge him, but we have to find him.

Away we go.

So let's start at the pub, work our way outwards

and hope that we get lucky.

We're looking for any activity. Is there any people?

MALE OPERATOR: Can you bring it down slightly?Yeah. Coming down.

Might want to go a bit more southwest than there.

It's just guessing, really. Cos that's the river there...

We'll follow the river, go north and see what we see.

(DRONE HUMS)

What...?

Fucking hell.

Fuck.

(DRONE HUMS)

It's above us.

It's there, isn't it?

It's fucking there.

We go north of the river and just look for any outbuildings, anything like that.

Ian is trying to seek refuge at a friend's farm.

But after a tip off, the detectives have arrived in the area

and are scouring it for any sign of him.

(DRONE HUMMING) It's getting closer.

Just fucking go that way.

Hold it there a second. Whoa whoa whoa.

That person there.

Could you bring it down? Tell me when you're happy.

Keep it coming.

Stop. Hold your position.

No, it's just... I think it's a sheep.

It's a needle in a haystack, isn't it?

(SHEEP BLEAT)

Fuck, was that close!

We keep moving because the drone could be back.

The drone came over. It was pretty intense.

But...

(EXHALES) God, I'm shaking now.

I can't stop shaking.

God, what a day.

With less than 24 hours to charge their remaining suspects,

pressure is mounting on the detectives.

Forensics. Jane, any update?

Yeah. Just got some results in.

But they've just received news of a vital piece of evidence.

Norman has come up as a DNA hit for the slaughter.

Yay! Oh, that's good. Thank God. So we just need to find him, guys.

Since his release on bail, Norman has gone to ground.

(DOGS YAP) No lights, no movement, no cars.

Norman knows we're after him, which is why he's not in.

Just two dogs howling.

Bugger!

The guy's like the Unabomber.

He's just got no footprint at all, has he? He's got no phone, no car,

nothing we can track him through.

They'll be on my tail all the time. I've managed to evade them.

I'm hoping to get to friends within the hour.

One, two, three, four, five six...

Where's the rest of it? Oh, there.

12, 13, 14.

I'm doing my best. Knackered, but I'm doing my best.

Well disguised down there.

I'm not a big man.

They've had that money now for two weeks

and I think they're probably seeing it more and more as their own cash

and they are really not wanting to give it up.

(OVER RADIO) 'Hi Macca, any update?'

Yes, mate. We've now lost live trace on Jessica Bell's phone.

She's switched it off, we think. No change for the last hour.

That way...and back.

Our game plan has now changed. Leave our phones at home,

don't go in our cars, grab our loot and run for it.

Laura, you look really dodgy. Will you just walk with me?

The end's in sight. We're almost on the home straight.

We can do this!

They've gone completely under the ground.

We've got absolutely nothing.

Nothing. We have no idea where they are. Nothing.

Where on earth are we gonna find these people?

I don't know about you, but we are running out of options right now.

What are we gonna do? Has anyone got any other ideas?

What if we release their faces?

Yeah, and with a reward. "Where are these people?"

They've got the town on their side, so let's make it a hostile place for them.

Great, I like it. Putting their faces out there.

And it also will scare them.

They'll think, "Oh, God, they're on to us! They know it's us..."

I think Thirsk could turn on them.

Yeah, I think they will.

£500 is quite a lot of money. So I think it's a great idea.

Well done! So let's get that out there.Brilliant. Chuffed with that.

This is now the only option

because we've exhausted everything else.

All the technology in the world now is not helping us.

We need people to come forward. Somewhere the solution to this

is in a human brain somewhere. We just need them to bring that to us.

Thirsk is a tight-knit community,

but I think they'd sell out their mother.

The message is, "Reward for information

leading to arrest and charge."

Hashtag white horse bandits.

Publish now.

God. Laura Hoyland and Jessica Bell.

Oh, my God!

The sisters are at accomplice Emma's house.

"Where are they now?

Please report sightings. £500 reward for information."

I didn't know you could feel this sick.

Our faces are out there for everybody to see.

People are gonna be looking for us.

So the whole game has gone up a notch.

Right, let's go.

Let's have it. Oh, God. 40, 60, 80, 400.

With their loot on board...

You bastard! Let's have it.

..Jess and Laura's priority

is to put some miles between themselves and their home town.

So I'm just going to pull in now. All right, Em.

We love you, Emma.

Now, with over £40,000 on their backs and a price on their heads,

the sisters plan to overnight in Helmsley en route to Whitby.

We've got to find a room for tonight. We've got to eat.

I'm starting to get jittery.

We've got all our loot on us now. If they get us, we're gone.

This is either the best idea we've ever had, or the worst.

We could be really messing this up now, going here.

I'm going to send the pictures that we have of the suspects further afield,

then by boosting our Thirsk detectives' page.

The area I've chosen will reach 690,000 people.

The whole aim is to reach as many people as we can

and to see if somebody who's not related to Thirsk

will see them and contact us.

To help spread the word about the reward campaign,

detective teams have been despatched to all surrounding towns.

I'm gonna pass you out some flyers. We're looking for these people in here,

in relation to the heist in Thirsk.

Detectives David and Georgina are in Helmsley.

If you can keep your eyes peeled...

There are rewards for information that'll lead to their capture.

If there's anything you can tell us, please do. Thank you.

Wish we knew someone in Helmsley. All it takes is for them to go past.

Exhausted and hungry, Jess and Laura are trying to plot a safe route

through Helmsley to their hotel.

We should go the other way and go back to the Feversham the other way,

because we're in the market place there.

Will they have had time to have gone and put bloody posters out?

Sorry to disturb your dinner. We're up in the area.

We're investigating the heist that happened down in Thirsk.

Hotel's right over the other end.

Do we just do it? Do we just do it?

Been in this position so many times...

Haven't we?

..where it is...do or die.

Clear left if you want to go. We are just guessing...

Let's go... It could be that way or this way.

This way's back to towards Thirsk.

That way's towards Scarborough. We've got to go one way. Let's go.

Shall we just do it?

This is the hard bit, isn't it?

Spooked out.

What was that?

Oh, it was a car.

I don't know we're gonna do - hide behind this wall for another hour...

..because a car went past that we didn't know... Come on!

Keep your eyes peeled.

Oh...

Oh, my God, it's Jonny and Emma.

You guys, you need to get away. The police are everywhere.

By chance, the sisters have bumped into fellow gang members

Emma Webster and Jonny Easton,

who've already been caught, charged and are now released on bail.

Oh, shit, can we get in?

Oh, that's interesting.

That's the Eastons. I know.

Oh, shit, here they are.

Oh, bollocks! Fuck.

We're done. We're done.

All right? How's it going?

Yeah, good. What brings you round here?

We're off out for tea. Are you? Who are you with?

Friends. That's them - Jess and Laura.

Get out, get out, get out. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!

Don't drive off. Don't drive off.

For fuck's sake. Oh, wait wait wait.

Out of the car.

Let's have you out, then, girls, please.

I wonder what could possibly be in these bags.

This is almost unliftable.

Oh, what a surprise!

Look at that.

Fantastic.

I think you both know what's coming, girls, OK?

You're both under arrest for being involved in the heist.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hi, David.

'Keely, are you sitting down?'

Yes.

We've just caught Hoyland and her sister red handed in Helmsley.

'They've got the cash on them.' (CHEERS)

(JUBILANT LAUGHTER) Come on, spill the...

Oh, my God.'Yeah, it's been a bit of luck, but we've got 'em.'

I spotted Jonny Easton in his girlfriend's car.

They'd apparently been driving by, and were gonna literally give 'em a lift out of town.

'We got them red handed.' Wowee! Get in there.

Yes.

(SOBS) We got so close.

It's just been so incredibly hard.

All that stress and heartache for nothing.

(SOBS)

It was just a bad case of wrong place, wrong time,

and that's what's...

that's what's so hard. Pure bad luck.

Before I went into this,

I thought the hardest bit would be the crime.

But actually that was the easiest part.

It's the living with the guilt.

The stress,

the wondering where you're gonna hide it next,

them being on you and having to be one step ahead all the time.

That's the hard bit.

(SNIFFS) I just feel so disappointed.

I just wanted to get to the end.

They drove past us and we were just bloody caught at the 11th hour.

I would never be a criminal.

Everywhere you go, you look over your shoulder.

Everywhere you drive, you think you're being followed.

And it just makes you paranoid, just paranoid all the time.

I prefer being good to being bad.

Two thieves remain with just one night between them

and the chance to launder their money and keep it.

I'm drinking champagne. I shouldn't, I know.

I'm not celebrating just yet.

I've just got to get to Whitby tomorrow.

Got to get to Whitby tomorrow.

Norman is hiding out with friends in a village outside Thirsk.

Oh, by the way, Coppers, look what I nicked on my way out!

(LAUGHS)

I must be a better thief than I thought.

(CHUCKLES)

Maybe I should go into this game.

Ian has made his way to the comfort of a hotel.

This is it. It's the final run.

Pure fear factor, that's been running through me...

..for every day for the last 15 days.

And this is the first time I can just feel really,

"Come on, fucking hell, you can do this!"

Over two weeks ago, ten ordinary citizens

stole a quarter of a million pounds.

All right, thanks, girls.

Now with less than six hours to go, only two thieves remain at large.

61-year-old grandfather Norman Pearson.

Wha-hey! Who's getting a doggy?

(LAUGHS)

I'm so close now

to making life a little bit better for Charlie.

I just don't wanna get caught today.

Please don't let me get caught today.

The final moves on the board.

And 51-year-old father of three Ian Kinghorn.

Come on, then, through this narrow gap.

It's quite scary, really.

Just worried that, if I don't make it to the end now,

I'm getting this close, it'll be such a let-down for everyone,

Dianne and the girls, especially.

Come on!

That's my throne stop.

We won!

Last day, guys. Let's go and let's have a chat.

Today is the detectives' last chance to catch the remaining thieves.

They've already recovered £200,000 of goods and cash,

but there's still 50 grand missing.

With this amount of money, they're going to want to get it out of the area.

They're going to want to get rid of it. We need to find them before they do that.

Typically, in my experience, criminals with traceable notes

will want to launder them for clean cash as quickly as possible.

I think it's absolutely fair to assume that Ian and Norman are going to want to do that.

The question for us is -

WHERE are they going to do that?

Since being released on bail,

Norman and Ian have fallen off the detectives' radar.

Today Paula's gonna work up

some profiles around Pearson and Kinghorn to widen that association.

We're gonna look at transport hubs.

We're gonna look at transport links to see potentially

where they could be going. We need to catch these two today.

Let's get on it and let's get 'em in!

Unbeknown to the detectives,

Ian is 11 miles away in Helmsley.

Fellow thief Norman is already en route to Whitby

where they will both receive instructions

on how to launder their stolen money for clean cash.

God, I'm shitting myself.

I've never wanted a day to pass so quickly as I want this day to pass.

To avoid being tracked, Norman is driving to Whitby in a friend of a friend's car.

I've got to get to the finish line now.

I've got to get there and get my money changed and get away.

A white horse - look at that. Look at that!

(HORSE WHINNIES) And it's coming to see me.

I've got to go out. (CAR DOOR SHUTS)

What an omen for the White Horse Bandit boys.

It's meant to be, eh?

Racing to locate their two suspects,

the detectives are monitoring

the phones and vehicles of all their close associates.

We are keeping an eye on all the people that they really trust.

It might be that they use

family and friends that have been under the radar.

So you're talking about siblings, parents, cousins, aunties.

But I think that, in the final kind of stages,

you're gonna be going to people you trust the most.

Morning, Mum, it's me.

With one last journey to make,

Ian is using the hotel phone for his final call.

Well, I haven't got much time to talk.

I need a big favour this morning.

I need picking up from Pickering about nine o'clock this morning.

I'll tell you all later.

See you, then. Bye.

There's been a call to the Kinghorn parents' home address

from this hotel to the parents' phone number.7:38 this morning.

Right, so from the hotel to the Kinghorn parents.

Got to be him. Who else is gonna call his parents from there?

Do we still think Ian will be there at the hotel?Could be.

Which one's that?

Ian's making his way to Pickering to meet his mum.

Right...

This could be his final move. Time's running out. We know that.

He's probably left, but he might be about to leave.

On the right-hand side now.

Right, this is it.

Morning. Going to Pickering, please.

Single? Yes, please.

But having left the hotel,

Ian is forced to wait several minutes for the bus to leave.

Shit shit shit.

We're investigating an offence that took place in Thirsk

where a quarter of a million pounds was taken.

We've got some enquiries that have led us here.

Got to make a move sooner or later.

Go on, what's he up to? 'Bad news, unfortunately.

Kinghorn's already left. Gonna have a look around in case he's still here.'

We need to find out where he's gone. All right, we'll keep you updated.

Guys, I think Kinghorn... he's gonna go towards the coast.

Why do we think they're going to the coast?

Because he's gone out of his way to move to the east.

Yeah, yeah. I can't see him now

coming east, only to come back west.

So I think he's making his way THAT way.

The girls yesterday got arrested

because they were trying to hike east.

Just looking at where we are at the moment -

at Helmsley - the easiest way to get out of there

is by going towards Scarborough. We know that, yeah? It's the A170.

There's buses that leave every hour and, at this moment in time,

I'm thinking the two locations that I have here

that I've pointed out on the map were Scarborough or Whitby.

Those two there are within an hour of Helmsley.

If this is what we think, we have to go all in now.

You want David at Scarborough? Move them that way.

Head towards Scarborough, mate. 'Will do.'

That's the best we've got at the moment - towards Scarborough.

Let's go.

The team's going hell for leather to Scarborough.

Got to get them plotted up and get them to the transport hubs,

but it's a big area we're talking about -

Scarborough all the way, potentially, up to Whitby.

So we need some intel NOW.

If we can get people going to a precise location, we've still got a game on.

Where's Pearson, then? Well, let's assume that we're right.

Kinghorn's going to Scarborough, then Pearson's going to Scarborough as well, surely...

They're going to the same place, aren't they?

This isn't just going for Kinghorn. This is going for both of them.

This is - we're all in now.

Let's go. Thanks very much. Bye-bye.

Shitting it still.

Will a mum turn her son in for a robbery...

that he did commit?

That's her. Now, then, laddie.

What are you doing? Hello, darling.

Look at this hat. What have you done?

Just got the bus this morning,

but the detectives - just as the bus was pulling out -

came flying into the market place.

I got out of there by, like, two seconds.

So I need you to take me to Whitby. It's the final rendezvous point.

I've got to take you to Whitby? Yes, please.

I've got to cancel some appointments.

Yeah, please do. OK.

Sorry, Mum, I still get into trouble. I know I'm 51.

You get worse!

Now, then, can you ring the surgery and cancel my appointment for me?

It's only a blood pressure check. Sorry about your blood pressure.

I'm sure that's not done it any favours right now, has it?

Good job I've cancelled it because I think my blood pressure will be sky-high by now.

(SIGHS)

Should see the sea soon.

Yeah, there it is.

Ahh.

Oh, God, crying over bloody strangers now.

I've never, never felt these emotions so strong.

(SNIFFS)

(SIGHS)

Believe it or not, I'm not a professional criminal. I do make mistakes.

I should have given a different name at the hotel. I've had a lot of luck so far,

so all these mistakes eventually are going to go against me at some point.

This is coming into Whitby now.

Wow, look at that. That is just stunning.

(SIGNAL DINGS) We've just had a live ANPR in.

Whose is that car? It's Kinghorn's mum's car.

Outside Whitby. Whitby, fuck.

Fuck it! Can they make it?

Probably gonna be tight. Get to Whitby.

'Guys, we've just had an ANPR in in Whitby, so redeploy to Whitby.'

Will do. Cheers. Bye.

We've just had a bit of a breakthrough in terms of the ANPR.

It's just a case of -

can we get to Whitby quick enough?

Can we find them? Can we take them out?

There you go, darling. Love you.

Thanks very much.

(SIGNAL DINGS) We've got live cell site,

live cell site... On Barbara Kinghorn.

Whitby. Right by the beach.

We need to look at any CCTV that we might have.

Where specifically in Whitby? Of that place in Whitby

where the phone pinged cos then we might see where they've been walking.

We just need to have them spotted on CCTV.

Cell site's only going to take us so far. It's not that accurate.

Norman is also in Whitby.

He and Ian need to locate the Whalebone Arch

where they'll receive final instructions on where to meet a contact who will launder their cash.

Den Of Antiquity.

St Ann's Staith.

'What's your ETA?' Twelve minutes.'OK.'

As the pair head into town, the detectives are on their trail

looking into surveillance sources from the area.

I've got CCTV come through.

Whalebone Arch - 12:48.

Is that Kinghorn? Yeah.

That is him, isn't it? Yeah. That's him.

He's been looking at a sign for ages. He's staring at the sign.

He's going right of the arch.

Here you are, there's...

Norman. As well. Same place.

That's where they need to go.

Just seen Pearson and Kinghorn with CCTV at Whalebone Arch.

There's a sign at the entrance.

'They've both been paying a lot of attention to the sign.

So if you can go and do that, and we'll direct you further.'

We're en route. 'Brilliant.'

OK, cheers, bye.

It is absolutely critical that we get a team there now to look at that sign,

identify exactly what they were looking at.

We're right up their backsides and we are breathing down their necks.

To keep their share of the stolen money,

Ian and Norman must launder their cash before the detectives catch up with them.

So we've got to look for a sign in front of the Whalebone Arch.

Sea in the background.

There it is. It is over there.

Yeah, that's it, that's it.

(SEAGULLS CALLING)

What have we got, Irene, on that sign?

Den Of Antiquities. It's like an antique store.

Yeah I've got it. I've got it.

It's an antique shop in Whitby on St Ann's Staith.

'Irene, it's on the harbour.' We're on our way.

Redeploy Den Of Antiquity, Yankee, Oscar 27.

Yeah, got it. OK, no problem.

Once a criminal has laundered any trace of all notes, we can't prove

that any money in their possession came from the heist.

Straight on. Straight on.

That's Pearson.Yeah, heading towards Den Of Antiquity.

How many stairs?!

Right right right right right!

We're on foot. We're there.

'You've got Alecia and Craig there as well.'

(SHOP BELL)

(SHOP BELL)

(CHEERS)

(LAUGHS) Oh, Ian, mate.

How are you doing, fella?

Gutted for my son. He didn't make it.

I know. A lot of us didn't make it. They got Dianne.

I believe you've got something for me.Yes.

Has that been the bane of your life for the last...16 days?

Keep a look out for signs. Keep a look out for signs.

I'm looking, I'm looking.

Can you smell it? I can.

It smells clean. Don't stop. Just keep going.

If I get caught now, I'll never forgive myself.

Craig and I are in town. Repeat, in town.

(GROANS)

Look down back alleys. I've been looking across there as well.

Keep an eye out for them as well.

Please please please please.

I'm gonna throw up.

Thank you, honey.

Second left on the corner of Church Street,

you're looking for a grey Defender to take you away.OK, great.

'Head down to the harbour.' We've got it covered this end.

Den Of Antiquity. Got it.

We're just doing an investigation with these two males.

Has anyone been in at all?

I'm afraid you've just missed them. Oh, my God...

Go on.

They could've gone off anywhere.

'Go ahead, Macca.'

They've come out of Den Of Antiquity and turned right.

They've then run and crossed the bridge, and they're running.

Both of them together.

Right, OK, we're heading up that way. Cheers.

'Split up. Search the area.' Copy.

Where the hell is it? Where's Church Street?

Here. Grey Defender up there. See it.

(PANTING)

Go go go go go.

Shit!

Anything further?'No, that's the only CCTV we've got at the moment.'

Any more from CCTV? No.

Fuck's sake!

We don't find them, then it's game over.

We've got nothing else. Nothing.

'Hello?' Go on, Dave.

'We've fucking missed them. They've gone.'

Oh, for fuck's sake.

(SIGHS)

It's game over, Dave. Can you tell everyone else it's game over? OK?

'Yeah. will do.' Shit!

We should've got Kinghorn. Fucking hell.

We've had them both in custody, and...

It's gutting.

We started with potentially 10,000 suspects.

We narrowed it down to the right ten.

We'd got evidence on all ten, we could've charged all ten.

We would've solved this crime. It was just time.

When seconds count, you can't afford to be minutes away.

(READS) Thank you for visiting Whitby.

It's been our pleasure! Yeah!

Come on! (TRIUMPHANT LAUGH)

Yeah, we did it. Oh, God, we did it.

Oh, my! Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Wow. What a buzz.

Oh, bloody hell. (LAUGHS)

Oh, that was the...

Oh, that was...

Fucking Jesus wept.

We're free men. We're out of the frame.

We're going, guys. We're out of Dodge.

Oh, my God, Charlie boy...

Hey, Charlie. Oh, wow.

Girls, Mummy says...

Mummy says, "Come on here.

Don't worry, girls, Daddy'll bring home the bacon."

Get a lot of bacon now with 25 grand.

Let's go and check this.

'Hello.'

Hi, Steph, it's me.

'Did you get caught?'

No, love, I did it.

'What?' I did it.

'You did it!' Did it.

'Oh, my fucking God!

You did it.

I'm so proud of you.'

CHILD: 'Hello.' Hello.

I made it to the end.

'(SQUEALING AND CHEERING)

(WHOOPING)' 'Well done, Daddy!'

'When are you...'

'Are you really one of the winners?' Yeah.

'Oh, my God.'

'Whoo!'

(CHEERS)

Wahey! Fucking hell.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, dear!

I just had no idea it would end like this.

You'll never feel this alive ever again.

I'm a big family man, and I just think that

Charlie's maybe pulled a short straw somewhere

and all you wanna do is help.

And...now I can.
