Sue Cook presents this reconstruction of a criminal investigation into a string of brutal armed robberies, solved with the help of Crimewatch UK. The raiders targetted banks, post offices and other businesses in a series of raids, taping up and handcuffing their victims. Operation Mackenzie, launched by the Surrey Police, brought together seven UK police forces, Interpol, the Spanish judicial authorities and Crimewatch viewers. Before the case was brought to its conclusion members of the investigating team had been savaged by a pit bull terrier, conducted an unsuccessful armed raid on a false address and had lost track of a suspect during a car chase in south London.

A dramatic reconstruction giving the behind-the-scenes story of a real police investigation, solved by a Crimewatch UK viewer. In April 1993 a young woman was subjected to a violent rape in south west London, but the police had little to go on. Presented by Sue Cook.

Nick Ross presents another behind-the-scenes story of a real police investigation in which Crimewatch UK played a key role. When two elderly men were murdered in Lincoln in 1991, police had very little to go on. Then a tiny clue - traces of paint on an axe head - led them on a journey across Europe, back to Lincoln, and eventually to the killer.
