Scotland Yard 1995 part 4 Flying Squad part 1

6 part series about the metropolitan police that was made in 1995. This edition covers the work of the flying squad and their efforts to catch a gang of armed bank robbers who had carried out over 100 raids.

[@dean7652]

It’s mad when you yearn for your old armed robbers and football hooligans to think of a better time😂

[@markcoupe5748]

The cost to the police should never be a deciding factor when it comes to catching people who carry guns and put the public in danger.

"...a pattern jumper and a Benetton bag." "Offense 31, there appears the Benetton bag again." "If you go back four offenses, you will see the Benetton bag in Cricklewood Broadway being carried by one of the two robbers." I *can't* be the only one who sees an obvious causal link between owning a Benetton bag and committing armed robbery. It's clear that these bags somehow drive ordinary, law-abiding citizens into a life of crime. It's time that they were banned. The bags, I mean. Not the people.
