Macintyre's Big Sting

Safe as houses / Tracking Devices (5x6)

Air date: Sep 27, 2006

Donal and the team rig a remote house with 15 covert cameras and lie in wait for a thief who plans to break in to steal the keys to a rare Aston Martin parked on the drive. In a television first, the documentary sees Donal and his undercover team hide in the garage as a burglar cases out the house and makes his move - before Donal, dressed as 007, nabs him. Macintyre also puts a tracker device in a lap top which is stolen by another thief. Keith Wilson similarly puts a tracker on a bike, and Kate McIntyre looks at some of the latest technology used by the police.
