WTF were cops driving Mini Metros for back then???????????? "Being a much more powerful car I lost him down Priory Drive." Er, well, no surprises there. Those cars were a shocking embarassment!
Actually the a series ones like in the crime watch were good cars. You are mixing it up with the k series metro which was a heap. They were also very nippy and just as quick as run of the mill cars back then be they golf's astras escorts.

Was just thinking if the car in the Laurence Winstanley case had been kept rather than the police allowing it to be scrapped, it could have yielded further clues with the advance of forensic science. Why would whoever killed him want to dispose of the car like that if it did not have something to tell the police.? I was also thinking it would not surprise me if drugs was a factor in this man’s death as it appears from the nature of the violence used on him he had upset someone in the criminal underworld.
Just reading up on it more, the police felt it was definitely a gangland "execution". There's an article on the Daily Mirror website saying they believe he may have been killed by a notorious hitman who's wanted in a number of countries. Can't remember where I read it, but someone said that he had been involved in hiding drugs in car frames for local gangsters and it had all gone wrong.
An early 90s reconstruction that has always stuck in my mind since it aired was a bogus policeman who I think abducted a woman. It's very misty but It'll be interestesting to see it again as I remember getting nightmares about it as I was really into all things police as a boy lol even had a toy police peddle car.
About the jolly farmer pub, the only motive they could think was insurance fraud, but the inquiry went nowhere. An appeal was also made on crime month on lwt, let’s hope that surfaced.
So many features of these crimes just couldn't really happen now. If someone was ramming a car, the passenger would have called the police and videoed it on their phones / dash cams The criminals would have been caught on a million CCTV cameras.
Thanks redcard :) Can anyone remember the year/month there was a recon of the murder of an elderly person in which a note was left on the victim's door for a short time saying they had gone on holiday, various people went to the door which was ajar at times but the crime wasn't discovered for some time? Thanks in advance!
If you take someone’s life and it’s not accidental or in self defense you should get a long prison sentence. Never less than 20 years. You’ve destroyed the life of the victim and their family, so you should not just serve a few years and then go on and live your life in comfort.
That first bank robber bloke where his height was estimated 5’5 to 5’9, even 30 years ago it would have been simple to use the cctv to get an exact height
Lots of cash, missing periods of time, mysterious phone calls & the way he was murdered points to the drug trade. Either he ripped off the wrong person or messed up a consignment-his car business could have been used to transport them.
@@Oceanbeauty825 It is kinda' disturbing. If you watch a lot of these shows many cases still unsolved. I think it was a bit easier to get away with murder back then.
Apparently was involved in the import of MDMA and had bought a batch he was refusing to pay for due to the pills been gash. That was the local speculation anyway
There's an interesting article on the daily mirror website about it. Seems he was heavily involved in drugs and got on the wrong side of organiser crime. The article says they believe he was killed by a now notorious hitman who's wanted in several countries.
From what I've read, the police have a very good idea who killed him and why. There's an article on the daily mirror website saying they believe he was the early victim of a man who went in to become a notorious international hitman for organised crime. This man is also said to be an informant to the security services.
22:40 Yeah I can see it right now, it's parked outside my house, there's a lady in a huge mustard yellow coat talking to one of them fancy telly cameras!
I was 5 when this was first aired......it's nostalgic and interesting to see what was going on when I was a nipper. Reminds me of home with the parents. Also I wonder if they discovered what Lawrence's secret life was?
They pretty much know what happened to Lawrence now. It seems he was heavily involved in drugs and had got on the wrong side of organised crime. They believe he was killed in a contract killing. There's an article on the daily mirror website which said the man they believe did it went on to become a notorious hitman for international criminals and is wanted in several countries. They also believe he's an informant to various security services so may be being protected.
I also remember the brown Cortina pulling away from the police metro and the officer commenting the offender’s car being much more powerful than his own.
See, told you. A crime scene in the 1980s wasn't complete without a Cortina involved somewhere. And a lovely Mk4 example there, the rarest of all Cortinas nowadays (for those that care lol)

Was just thinking if the car in the Laurence Winstanley case had been kept rather than the police allowing it to be scrapped, it could have yielded further clues with the advance of forensic science. Why would whoever killed him want to dispose of the car like that if it did not have something to tell the police.?
I was also thinking it would not surprise me if drugs was a factor in this man’s death as it appears from the nature of the violence used on him he had upset someone in the criminal underworld.
I assume purely because the cops were going to be looking for it.
i thought that perhaps he had been leaned on to do resprays/false reg. nos. etc., for criminals but had refused or knew too much.
More likely stolen cars.

There's an article on the Daily Mirror website saying they believe he may have been killed by a notorious hitman who's wanted in a number of countries. Can't remember where I read it, but someone said that he had been involved in hiding drugs in car frames for local gangsters and it had all gone wrong.
Why on earth did they scrap Laurence's car?
Yes, forensic evidence destroyed. Crazy.
It wouldn’t be known when the car that was taken to the scrap yard that Laurence was missing
@@09weenic the episode says the cops checked it before it was scrapped. Imagine no one else wanted to do it up
it wasn't a murder enquiry yet.
Probably because someone gave them a brown envelope full of cash
Brilliant. Been looking forward to this.

It's very misty but It'll be interestesting to see it again as I remember getting nightmares about it as I was really into all things police as a boy lol even had a toy police peddle car.
Wayne Couzins just did the same thing in 2021, but this can't be the one you saw, as it was thirty years ago.
About the jolly farmer pub, the only motive they could think was insurance fraud, but the inquiry went nowhere. An appeal was also made on crime month on lwt, let’s hope that surfaced.
What a joke having a metro as a police car
Lol, ikr. No chance in that thing.
Pinacle of british engineering
Even Regan in Sweeney had a better car in 1970's....
I don’t know why he didn’t signal for him to pullover.
They were small, nimble, and like small rally cars getting round corners, i’d say chasing after big heavy cars, they were the perfect fit.
So many features of these crimes just couldn't really happen now. If someone was ramming a car, the passenger would have called the police and videoed it on their phones / dash cams The criminals would have been caught on a million CCTV cameras.
This is why this country started using so much cctv in the first place, it was not a safe place
