Bedfordshire Police allowed more than 80 cameras to follow their work for this landmark documentary series from the makers of 24 Hours in A&E.
A deep dive into Bedfordshire Police's covert investigation into the individuals using the encrypted phone network EncroChat to organise criminal operations. Plus, how the investigation helped inquiries into a shotgun attack in Luton after police discovered the culprit had been sharing their plans with others through the phone network.
An investigation into the epidemic of knife crime violence that left 97 young people murdered in 2025, 17 of whom were under the age of 16. Part of the problem is the zombie-style knives and swords, which were finally banned from being sold in 2024. The documentary reveals how two brothers, Adam and Eddy Eliaz, made it their business to run companies importing and selling blades, and tells the stories of Ashraf Habimana, Omar Khan and Ronan Kanda - all murdered by children with zombie-style knives that they'd bought online.
The inside story of the investigation into one of the country's worst serial paedophiles, who is currently serving a life sentence for his crimes. After Carson Grimes was convicted of abusing nine children in 2021, Bedfordshire Police received a flood of new reports of his crimes - and officers soon realised the scale and extent of criminality was far greater than they had feared.
The inside story of the cold case investigation into the murder of an 86-year-old who was stabbed multiple times in 2013, before her body was set on fire. More than a decade later, detectives from the Major Crime Unit decide to reopen the investigation hoping that advances in DNA science will mean they can finally identify the killer.
The second of a two-part special looking into the murder of 86-year-old Una Crown, who was stabbed multiple times in 2013. Forensics get a partial DNA match to a man who had previously been arrested but released due to lack of evidence. Police decide to bring him in once more in the hope that after 13 years of denial, he will finally confess to the killing.
