From phone evidence to police footage: how investigations take shape.
An arrest is one point in a much longer story. This collection looks at evidence, searches, police footage and court outcomes, including the Gurnos firearms case and the Peterborough operation involving Brandon Lawson. The companion pages connect the action on screen with the wider account supplied by Street Crime UK. Original news reports remain separately available in the newsroom.
A killing in Brixton, an inquiry into criminal assets in Jamaica and a surge in London shootings form the documentary’s three strands. Their common problem is how investigators secure information, cooperation and lasting public trust.
The documentary examines a difficult relationship: people with connections to criminal networks providing information to police. Its focus is the tension between access, self-interest and cooperation, within a story linking Jamaica and the United Kingdom.
Street Crime UK connects Lewis Clarke, Malcolm Graham and Adam Mercer in an account linking Bootle and Formby, with a disagreement and mobile-phone evidence forming the documentary’s investigative premise.
The account of an attack on Mohammed Ayaz follows a phone call, an industrial unit and a dispute over intimate material, with the victim’s experience remaining central to the documentary companion.
A reported firearms incident, evidence recovered from a phone and three different sentencing outcomes. Follow the Gurnos investigation from the first accounts to the arrests and court result.
An early-morning drugs warrant in Peterborough led to a case involving heroin, crack cocaine, cannabis and phone evidence. Follow the raid, the different pleas and the eventual court outcome.
