An investigation into a series of violent moped robberies in Peterborough is due to appear on national television tomorrow Thursday, October 5.
The work of detectives from the force’s northern Acquisitive Crime Team (ACT) to catch a gang responsible for a spate of horrific attacks on delivery drivers in Peterborough will be highlighted on this week’s Crimewatch Live programme at 10am on BBC One.
In January last year, Tyler Eastabrook, 19, Harvey Carr, 18, and Weston Haylock, 18, armed with knives, stole motorcycles from delivery drivers, as well as stabbing one driver.
The lead detective in the case features on the show explaining how the premediated, planned attacks appeared like a bit of “fun” – with the trio “flaunting their crimes on social media and showing no remorse”.
Using police footage and dramatic reconstruction, Crimewatch Live will re-tell the story of how the detective’s determination to catch those responsible paid off.
Interviews with the officers and the brazen audacity of the criminals will all be revealed.
Crimewatch Live is broadcast on BBC One at 10am every weekday from October 2-20. It is also available on BBC iPlayer for seven days.
Information about the investigation and sentencing can be found on the force’s website.
