Criminals Caught on Camera

A smash-and-grab jewelry store robbery, a daring cash machine heist and a frightening attack in a pub are part of a new breed of ram raid thefts.

Guns aren't the only violent weapons; several incidents of knife attacks show up on CCTV across Britain, ranging from daring robberies to murder.

Crimes involving a terrible house fire, the stabbing of a football coach and gangs attacking a group of partygoers are solved using police cameras.

A dangerous high-speed chase, road rage and an escape on the River Thames are captured on a variety of cameras, from helicopters to police body cams.

A huge increase in crimes from motorcycles, mopeds and bikes leads to a special police operation to stop the increasingly violent and well-organized gangs.

A high-speed motorway chase, a fleeing terrorist and a man holding what could be a loaded firearm are all viewed from a regional surveillance center.

Crime doesn't take a holiday. Even at Christmas, offenses from petty thefts of decorations to drunkenness and robbery light up CCTV monitors.
