00:49What's the best thing to do now, do you think it's still possible for Tuesday

01:51Straight down
01:56Oh that
02:01I was it. It's the next one on the right. I mean
02:06There should be a turning across the road here somewhere
02:11That's that one
02:14No cars out of front was it
02:20What a lovely looking place
02:23Of course beautiful in it. It's at the alarm box up there. Yes somebody in night. Yeah
02:36We're police officers, yeah, there's my warrant card. I'm detective chief inspector. Yeah
02:41Yeah, the regional crime squad. Yeah, and I'm from ready. Yeah
02:46And I don't know my appearance perhaps
02:49I'm detective sergeant Harrington. Yes, can we come and see you for a few more? Yes, please do kind russet
02:54Do your lady more right? That's the wall. That's me. Yes
02:58Yeah, you mean occupancy during the weekend? Oh in the summer. Yes. Yes
03:02But no, most of them are very often somebody here, but I am here often alone
03:07See if that if these people did decide to come here today
03:12We'd would like to catch them wouldn't we yeah, so you mean you don't want the dogs?
03:15No, we want a lot of noise. Well, they make a hell of a noise. So you think they're gonna try tonight's a night
03:23We're going to be here. No, you don't worry. We're going to be what we don't know for definite. The situation is that
03:30There is a mr. Walls explained that there is a possibility that they may come here. You just don't know
03:37What does the property consist of? Well, Jenny's got a cottage which consists of what you've got three bedrooms without counting the one
03:45I built one
03:46Three bedrooms two bathrooms and a sitting room in the kitchen. I know Paul is that attached to this?
03:52No, but Sony I'll show you
03:55I know it's terrifying. I thought of it
03:59You're in the book, aren't you?
04:07Within the within
04:09I'm in the body of the book. Oh
04:11Well, I mean it's quite the properties identified as from the book, isn't it
04:18What is the alarm system at night when you go to go when I switch it on the only door I can open
04:24Is the door out of the kitchen?
04:27I'll show you at the back because if I but if I miss a boat with it the alarm goes off
04:31But I have to have that for the dogs
04:32Yes
04:33Have you like had people caused people trying to buy things antiques and that sort of thing?
04:38No, not right at the beginning. We couldn't turn around for stuff because we'd come from a much bigger
04:43I don't mean
04:46We did get a man who's now dead anyway, mr.
04:51Bagot and he probably made a killing but I just said well take this way. I can't move
04:56I need to the van alone, didn't he? I think was meaning dealers and people like that
05:00Leave you left any car to you recently. Do you know what I mean?
05:04We think excuse me, I'll go get a sketchpad and
05:07But last year, I think for certain
05:11Russell's brother Jack
05:14Didn't come in and the police came and then when he came in somebody smashed on the head he survived it was out here
05:22Yes, it's the gentleman that's here now. No
05:25And no, no, no, it's our dog
05:28The dogs Jack and then in the evening the dog went out and it came it was gone for ages and it was barking going mad
05:35Yeah
05:35And the other dogs came in and the other dogs came in and when Jackie came door for Jackie to come in
05:40He was covered in blood smashed across the nose. Oh, yes, and before that they got the window open in there
05:46Eight o'clock at night wasn't it? Yeah, and the dogs were there quicker than the police. When was it?
05:51When was this when was that insurance paid for the window, but two years ago
05:56And when the alarm goes although you've been told not to you always come over
06:00Well, we were told not to come over, but you know, I mean you've got a chance
06:06Where's your husband is he here? Yes, he's in the cottage
06:12Struggling for a bit of time actually. Oh, well you want to go upstairs. I'll just get a peg
06:17I
06:24Seen anybody about today. Have you at all down in the field? Yes coming in the line. That's all I saw
06:31Pass along there. When was this? Oh, I think I must have been a
06:36Pup us three or four what today? Yes, that's where well, I
06:43Might see a
06:47Little don't mean yes, and he went along there. What do you mean in the ground? Well just over the wall
06:53Just over the fence over the fence. I mean I suppose yes and the dogs ran and barked at him. Did they why?
07:09Could you come down and show us
07:16And the dogs ran to the fence
07:24And I just saw him I mean I thought it was rather surprising but I mean then I realized
07:29Not yet the Duchess. What did he see you?
07:33Not he should knows. I'm the dogs ran out and barked me. I mean it was time for me to suppose
07:40He wasn't suppose. Yes. Yes, absolutely
07:43Absolutely
07:45That's very interesting
07:46very interesting
07:52Well, I'm a deeply suspicious person as if I always think of things like that, yes, you're right
07:58Oh, yeah. Well, I do think somebody might turn up. Yes. Yes. Yes, we do
08:03No
08:07Yes, sir Arthur and I about the same age it's also so we don't know you are actually doing a hefty young man
08:13He's Arthur Bradt the well-known
08:15Historian, yes, you know, and I'm my name is Adrian denture and I were a semi well-known painter
08:22Yes exhibitor of the Royal Academy
08:32Yes
08:38History almost every period of English history. He's a very famous man. Now. What was this gentleman or what was this man dressed in?
08:46Well, can you I can only say yes just briefly because I appreciate you
08:51He had on a
08:53Sort of hat you might see something on cup tie days or and a football match a sort of silly hat
09:00Cap you mean? No, it was I don't know. It's a sort of
09:04what a
09:07Use to be made into he'd now made of fancy colors. No, no, he wasn't a colored man. He's white man
09:12Couldn't have seen enough. I
09:15Said I was a cap. All right. I just think it was is it unusual
09:19From the times that you've been here. Well, I've hardly ever been here. He's the only person who saw who came along that after this afternoon
09:25Yes. Yes. Hmm
09:27What it's important yeah, it is well do you think we should
09:32You won't be about me to be on the telephone. No, we're gonna be here. What we're gonna be here with you
09:37No, no. Yes. You think it's as serious as that. Oh, yeah
09:42Particularly now. You've just said that you've seen this man walk along
09:48He was here than down the road wouldn't you
09:51Hmm he was obviously looking at the house to come and burgle it tonight
09:55You see well and the dogs coming down to him
09:57I knew there was something wrong the dogs never barked at us when we came in. I barked at him
10:02Yeah dogs have got a funny instinct
10:05I know that little rather an aggressive little thing that Russell. Yeah, that ran down. Yeah, we'll just get jacked up
10:12But anyway, but if he sees you're here, he won't do nobody will come. We'll be on the floor. You will yes
10:19We'll have to hide mommy. Yes, I mean, but your car. Oh, we'll move all that. Ah
10:30Of course he was of course he was who's going in the greenhouse I
10:39Like the look of it, I like the look of it
10:42I'm on the look of it. We can virtually have it surrounded without any show at all. We need them blokes. You see
10:50It's not a bit like the army once we've confined everybody to barracks. We'd like to go like
10:56Do you mind
10:59I would like a castella cigar. All right, we'll get somebody to go up there. What I was thinking was if you
11:04If you didn't go until we we knew you were going do you know to me?
11:11No, they're not I'm sorry be a nuisance
11:14Nothing's a nuisance
11:16I'm gonna do not I'm a bit panhandling about these things once we get here
11:19We'd like to like to confine everybody to barracks and then go from there. Do you know what I mean?
11:28Well, you have a word with me and then we'll arrange it
11:43We're
11:48Coming in now, so to just have a chat with you. Excuse me
11:53Sorry
11:55We weren't we were what we were just gonna come in and have a talk about the situation are you going indoors?
12:01What's wrong be mine?
12:03No, I should leave it
12:06We
12:08Put in we put everybody in the house now they're coming here to expect people to be in that drum
12:13All right, and we won't disappoint them if we put all the dogs in there
12:18What do you reckon that that old fella in here is he wants a Geoffrey scrubbing moscow? Yeah, of course he is
12:23We better go inside and see
12:26He's a boy, I think the other bloke's a bit deaf, isn't it?
12:30No
12:35Again there's a hell of a big grain floor area to cover, you know, you don't have to come in
12:40Yeah, but we don't know what in room they're coming
12:43Well, they're coming in on the ground floor on this side, aren't they?
12:47So you want sighting of an outside
13:00Rusty Rusty, would you mind going out of the house for me? Yes. Would you mind? Yes. Yes. Would you mind going out of the house?
13:11But I think she's she's quite happy about it all but I suppose
13:15He might well create a problem money
13:18Do you not think so?
13:20He's not seen our identities. Is he yet?
13:24Well, he's obviously worried about it. Presumably possibly that he protects her, you know and says room
13:29There's a police car in here
13:45It seems to me an extraordinary thing
13:50Any warning for the police, that's right. Yes a team of policemen should arrive followed by BBC
13:56They want to find out where everything in the house
13:59Now if you want to get an inspector or the local inspector up here or something, that's a very
14:07Worried madam
14:09That car will be seen from the road if they're doing it's just gonna move it there and come and speak to you sir
14:14Do you see what I mean?
14:18You hang up the piece they didn't say no we're not we're not local office
14:22Is in charge of the serious crimes of the regional crime squad from Reading
14:29He's a detective chief inspector and I'm a detective sergeant
14:38I can assure you these gentlemen in the past myself
14:49Okay
14:52Please go out of the way I'm gonna
15:09Yeah, but they move around don't you look if you come in there and they move that at night sound carries terribly
15:17Didn't it?
15:20Doesn't it where would you go if he was gonna do the window there?
15:24So you've done the window there right and then you ran back you died in the bushes there see it was any movement
15:31Wouldn't be found again. He's got been there three four hours my baby
15:37But sooner no, I'm a bit apprehensive about people being inside
15:41Why?
15:43Because it's a show out, but they got to be caught when they see I'll have to worry about that tomorrow
15:46That's it. I'll have to worry about that tomorrow
15:49when we
15:52Get some bamboo shoots and I miss under the water in the swimming pool
15:59Connie could go in there cuz he's a noisy
16:03Come on we'll get in light
16:07We ain't got time to worry we can discuss that in the jam jar can't we hey
16:11We've been here we've been here what two hands
16:18Yeah, but it's quarter past seven what's times your troops gonna be there
16:22If they not the alarm
16:29Then they know that that is inoperative
16:32All right, and I know they can get into that area
16:35And I've only got China talks there and they can see that that is where the goodies are in there
16:42And they start getting this out ripping this out going in here
16:45We're waiting around the other side and they're screwing this in here. We can't get into them. No, no
16:51Yeah, but the thing is we've got to come out this door and you've got the lads in the laundry room
16:56What and we'll have one in the kitchen here. Oh, you've got them off the pantry as well
16:59And we'll have one in the kitchen here washing this
17:02All right
17:10Okay, that's saying I'm worried about
17:24Yeah, but if we cover one in the kitchen five in the laundry room right plus you've got five in the
17:31In that maids sitting room. Yeah, we want another 30 blokes
17:36on the roof
17:38One set on the chimney popper. There's a phone call. You'll be doing circles. You've got five in a major and you've got this
17:45You've got 12
17:46You said we don't need I said now we do we wanna we wanna we bloody do what we've got
17:51We'll get we'll recruit a few we do wanna
17:54If there's any more I'll build turn up. We left more than we know. We're running. We're running like it's
17:58Bleeding
18:00The only problem you've got is that using the road up there. Yeah, they could well be in the power
18:10We'd like to be sort of well-prepared in position by that
18:16Thank you very much indeed
18:19What we need to do is put a cordon around this area so they come in and they don't get out
18:23That's right
18:25So if they do get into the house would arrest them in here if they make an entry and they run off we should still
18:30catch them
18:36If there's any other problems that we need to get
18:41Tonight
18:47What Jenny's worried about is what will the house go on being under threat
18:53Well, we'll have to discuss that you accept what you say. We would be hopeful that tonight. We would get a result
19:01He allows to come into his house like you're doing well as any way to help and in actual fact the man came in
19:07In the very early hours of morning about three o'clock and we caught him
19:11And he broke it into somewhere about 39 mansion house breakings
19:16Now III you didn't know about my book, but I've been more frightened since then
19:20I know it's happened before the book came out, but the book is an invitation to them
19:24We don't know when these people decided to come and burgle and when they come tonight
19:28They'll say that without and they'll ring or mr. Will will be oh you'll be you'll be
19:45It is a difficult property to cover
19:48Extremely so
19:52But in the very short space of time that we've had we've
19:56We've tried to sort out the most
19:59Suitable manpower situation. I understand we've got 18 officers here
20:05That is exactly the number that that we in fact catered for not realizing that
20:10We had that number here. So that's worked perfectly
20:13Problems been sort of interrupted problem is that since we went out there, we've got a Duchess in there this
20:21Arthur and some other an artist or a painter in residence, which wasn't
20:28No
20:30The thing Brian talking about that I want them protected by you know
20:34Two offices at least so that it doesn't matter how the operation goes if it goes wrong at least, you know, they're yeah
20:40Looked after there's no way that they can be, you know, since I spoke to roll down
20:44You know the problem since I spoke to you last time. That's what's brought about the fact that we've had to
20:50Do something this evening because I mean it's got so far now that we've obviously got to protect those three people
20:56That's which the information was basic. They weren't there. That's right. That's our problem
21:01Evening gents running again
21:04We've all be quick about five minutes. It's a property comprising of a grain floor and an upper floor
21:13Not too big a property there are two unfortunately elderly gentlemen in residence
21:20This weekend as visitors
21:23Both elderly gents
21:26Protection is going to be given to them within the building. They're not going to be asked to leave the premise
21:31We don't think that's necessary
21:33The situation is that in the main the bulk of us will be inside the premises
21:39With one dog handler. The other dog handler will be
21:43At a location that will give to him in a moment to other officers
21:48Will be stationed
21:51some
21:54Three-quarters of a mile from the property
21:57outside
21:59In anticipation of those two officers being able to give us an early warning that this team has arrived
22:06Now the information is that they are good burglars
22:11Just briefly what we intend to do is let them get into the premise as we did at Lord Burnham's
22:18Affect an entry and then arrest them inside the premise before they start bagging up property
22:27Tom
22:28Would put you straight in there put you upstairs never come in and see you shortly afterwards, and then you've got
22:34yourself
22:35Tucker
22:38Reeves Martin reason
22:40Right when the tucker
22:43Outside is mr. Island and mr.. I find the Liberty
22:48Is he not here? He's not here, right so we want one of your lads good job with John Island
22:54Someone who's obviously got a bit of run about him because it may be a chase situation there
23:00I'm Frank. I'll before I would say
23:03Oh, you're Frank which one
23:06One of you's got top coat because it's gonna be a bit chilly
23:09Because we're gonna rely on you on the early eyeball on this you know because they're gonna come in a gate into some private property
23:15Who's left?
23:17Well, it's just a pool stopper and big Tom. Come on me
23:22And the dog man well myself another Alan Fowler then
23:26The front maids rooms in there yourself mr.. Harrington, so I'll be in there. We're five ended in there
23:33The paramount importance of this job tonight is the safety
23:40Of the fine lady in the house and the two gentlemen in the house
23:46And that is the paramount importance of the operation and then the arrest of these monkeys
23:52Before they can do any real damage in that case
24:22Mr.. Ward's gonna be in that one so he's gonna cover that they've got to come past Warby if they come on the inside to
24:26Go to that door right yeah, but they might well do it from the outside
24:29We can't get in it from this side because it's locked up
24:38No, no we need to keep it locked so that it's just as it is
24:44I'll come in and sit with mr.. Bradley superintendent Bradley comes back. We'll come in and have a word with you two gentlemen
24:48No, so basically
24:51We're gonna block them off from there if it's necessary
24:52Yeah, we might be diverting outside into the yard. Yeah, I'm blocking off the kitchen
24:56You might be shooting all different ways, but it according to what Brian's looking at at the moment is the fact that they come past
25:02You don't men let them in and let them come into this section
25:05And then initially block the window off because we've then got contained what sort of windows. We got behind these curtains
25:11Yeah, well just don't make a dive, but we know it's impossible. They've got to be kind of this there's small sections
25:17All right
25:20Yes
25:24We're gonna leave us a few of them bottles
25:28Probably finish him up
25:33There's a ladder there which was not there when we were in that high no
25:39Jimmy that big
25:42Jimmy that long
25:44Where's the laundry go, but this was a different way
25:52Johnny Clemens
26:02Yeah, John I'll receive a bubble
26:09Off to mr. Clemens
26:14Bob to mr. Clemens looks as though we got off
26:21Bob to mr. Clemens mr. Walsh coming over to give you a bit of detail
26:36Not coming no no it means they are coming. Oh good
26:40There's a ladder and a jimmy down in there since we was here this afternoon has been put in your field
26:51Yes
26:53What would you normally?
26:54When you tell us what you want us to do honestly much too important
26:57I mean you want us to go up to bed now. We will and leave you this room
27:01We probably if we could have it's now ten to eleven is that yeah, that's right
27:07If we could say that probably by quarter past eleven we could get all the lights out
27:11We put that would help us in the house upstairs to yes
27:18Well I might come in your window, that's a problem, and you've got to shut that window. I just been telling you that I knew
27:26Now I've got some officers upstairs to protect you that's the most important thing is to get your safety
27:32Yeah, that's the most important whether we catch them is not that important
27:35The main thing is that if they do come in we're not here
27:40So you just must obey for once
27:43Well, I think Adrian and I ought to sit in your room
27:47non-stick
27:48No
27:51There's two upstairs I'll leave my door open. We've got some officers to protect the price out there
27:59You obviously got some
28:02They can't get in my window one's blocked and the other one's locked
28:05I think now that there is a ladder and a jimmy and it looks as though they will come in anyway
28:11Exactly what you say, so you'd really like us upstairs with lights out by about 11
28:161111 so you could be so 1115
28:21Well I think we better go up because by the time you two get sorted out
28:24I
28:30Like mr. Simpson buddy, let's just come back and have a quick word with you. Yes, so if I bring the two officers
28:35We are gonna come in here
28:47If you don't put your trousers up I'll have you taken away
28:54I
28:59That's how your minor offensive I just told you but it is a minor
29:05Another ten minutes grace and then mr.
29:07Maybe I come we'll have a chat and then we'll go to tell you what we're going to do and how we're gonna run it
29:12That's right. You come and tell me what you want. Thank you very much
29:18Pork and barbecued new potatoes that I cook this afternoon. It's all right
29:24Good stuff
29:31Can you turn that light up we don't need that
29:37Locations already want to start getting some lights out. Can we get these out?
29:41Oh
29:51When he gives a shout
29:55Mr. Bradley from mr. Water, we know quite definitely that the targets are in possession of a white transit van
30:04index number not known received over
30:11He could do a drive past the booze it couldn't he go
30:14He's not gonna see anything there. Well, if they're in there, they're in there and I
30:19Will fancy they were in these grains when we arrived. Oh, yeah doing a creep job
30:25Creeping seeing it was in here. I was you know through the curtains
30:34If they're good burgers, I'll be bloody miles away yet
30:37I know they'll have put that pissed off. They're gonna be hanging around on the road
31:07Once they're in the car, but yeah, there's one in the car
31:18The fans been away eight times back and forth eight times and it's disappeared now
31:30They came up here saw the lights on upstairs and that was it
31:34I realized that she was dying for the time
31:40For a weekend they were guests they didn't want any of that
32:04I
32:20Could have put it down there anyway couldn't I Jimmy's in here
32:34I
32:50Couldn't in it
32:58Whoever it was were intent on
33:05I
33:10Will do that. Yeah
33:17That's not been moved is it
33:23With that ladder there with the gate padlocked
33:29They're not gonna think you know who the hell's gonna come in here
33:34Pick it up is it
33:48So they've left the gear right
33:50so they were up there with that Jimmy the two of them to do that place and
33:56Those lights on upstairs. They followed out and they were I'm in an hour in
34:01Between then and three o'clock. Well, shall we do it?
34:04Shall we do it and the van kept going rain and rain and rain trying to pick them up and they weren't there
34:12Because I was up the house debating what to do
34:15Although I thought we'd have seen them far more than that. They see John Clements only saw them that once didn't he?
34:22Well, yeah, it's all twice didn't know what two of them together
34:26Well, I saw him at different angles Tommy Morrison saw him as well, yeah, and he said he thought it was me
34:32He said what was you doing walking around? I said, I wasn't walking around. He said was a big case
34:36It was a roll Nick Chamberlain. Yeah, I said it weren't me. I said I've been out the place
34:39He said well, it's got to be one of their faces. John says it was a white van
34:44Automatic not a transit smaller than the transit
34:48Oh
34:55It's good job, good job. Mr.
35:00Bloody good job. I could have been even better mr. Roos
35:05Good job, that's all it's there. It's good job
35:08I
35:12Don't in mind what shortness we had to jack it up my that went well
35:17To couple of errors. We had to sort that out
35:20Put 18 men in there
35:25Got in there smooth as silk, no problem
35:34That was a hell of a long way, you know
35:36And
35:38The van came up and it dropped one man off. Yeah, good. He had a go at the gate
35:47Yeah, but that was the first time
35:49To make sure he had a guy to go
35:51He rattled it. Did you think that gate was bent in the center?
35:55It was better because I went up and I look at it when it got light because you don't think they'd bend it
36:00With the van pressure pushing the van against it. The van never went into the driveway
36:04It never went into the direction at all right now, what did you see them again after that? No, I never saw them anymore after that
36:17It was a biggish fella actually just the other side of the
36:21Hedgerow and he was walking back out as if he was by saying the other side
36:25He must have been about 15 yards the other side of the head right?
36:29anything else Robert
36:31Just to say really they weren't expecting to find anybody in there and we were stuck with three people that was their problem
36:40Well, not bad enough it was unfortunate she was in there and the fact that she had two house guests
36:44I don't know. We were only there till tomorrow. I think without doubt that has been the cause of
36:50Of their departure. They were there for some considerable time. Obviously, I mean annoying whether to have a crack at it or not and
36:58Obviously they decided not to at the finish
37:01If I stood up close to the house and listened they'd have heard that fella at the front
37:07Because he would aren't making a deal
37:09I think they've seen the light spot
37:11So you could hear him snoring and rocking the bed about
37:18There's certain actions going to be taken today probably is going to phone
37:21The good lady and explain to her what's happened and we're gonna make some more inquiries
37:26I think it very unlikely that they're going to do it tonight
37:30But having said that we've got to cover it
37:33Grace is away tomorrow night and the place is empty and that's what they were expecting
37:38There's no doubt about that. And I think that that will be done either tomorrow night or during the week
37:48We may have some indication right chance, I'm absolutely shattered. I'm sure you are Tommy went home to bed
37:55I
38:15Bet started moving down. What's he doing?
38:18In the morning about five o'clock or six o'clock when we left he was washed and dressed and up
38:23He got himself up. He thought something had happened and the other suit
38:38To be our age, you know fairly to be able to sit still for long hours. It takes some doing
38:44I tell you I know the man to get a farm pantry an awful place
38:47Yeah, I mean he's used to sitting there and sit still for four or five hours and concentrate looking through a small gap in a
38:53Curtain or looking at when it takes a lot of doing and of course he I mean, you know
38:58Naturally, everybody was a bit worried and a bit on tendrils. Well, I think we were all right. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah brilliant
39:03I mean with we'd have got a result we would have caught caught them without shadow of doubt here without the coughing and it's a
39:09Great shame now. We've got to come back today and maybe we come back tomorrow night or tonight or next, you know
39:15It's a problem or
39:17They'll divert and go somewhere else and then we'll have to initially go and see the lady of the house and start all over again
39:22She's sort of me
39:24Because they won't stop
39:45You
40:15You
