Attack from Prison

In the second episode, a family home in Woodingdean near Brighton with four young children, has been attacked by a gang of masked men, armed with knives and poles. DS Gary Tattersall, investigating, says: “Being attacked in your own bedroom by masked men at the age of seven to 12 is incredibly serious, and ultimately that will be what gives [the attackers] very harsh sentences in this case.” Detectives in Brighton have traced the incident to a woman living in Sussex whose brother is serving time in prison. After months spent analysing phone records, detectives believe the attack was masterminded from prison, and police have obtained records of the calls. Now, they need to see if they can persuade the ringleader to come out of prison so they can question him about his involvement. Meanwhile, a woman has reported an attempted stranger rape, and police are carrying out an intensive search for the attacker to ensure he does not strike again. DS Emma Vickers, investigating, says: “He literally has been hanging around on the street corner, potentially just waiting for someone, so it’s extremely predatory... It then makes you think, are the wider public in danger?”
