It Takes a Thief to Catch a Thief

Episode 5 (1x5)

Data de estreia: Abr 03, 2014

Could Tricky Dicky, aka master thief Richard Taylor, be losing his edge? To test out its defences, Richard targets a London music shop that stocks enough mega-bucks guitars to keep ZZ Top on the road for another 50 years. The store has been hit by some magicians of the criminal world, including one thief who made a guitar disappear underneath a magic mac. Richard and his accomplice do not make such an easy getaway – in fact they are lucky to get out without getting nicked! Also this week, a garden centre in Biggleswade, is hit by the team. The centre is losing an estimated 2,419.26€ a year as shoplifters steal shed loads of gear. Two men managed to throw some strimmers and pitchforks over the fence and some girls raided the gift shop – all of them walking out scot free. The staff do not see Richard or his accomplices coming and he performs a supermarket sweep, filling a basket before swanning out of the entrance and handing the contents over to his friend before heading back in for more. It seems that the manager would rather tend to the plants than take on the crooks, and he might be sorry that he asked for help when Richard challenges him to get inside the thieves' mindset and go on a shoplifting spree of his own.To keep everything rosy, PC Will Davies turns up with some clever new gizmos to help the staff on the shop floor gear up to take on the shoplifters.
