Manhunt

Colin presents his review findings to DCS Hamish Campbell and suggests a strategy called 'Minstead Lite", but Hamish wants Colin to stay on to see this new approach through. Meanwhile, DC Spier's informant suggests that she has found one of the pieces of jewellery that was stolen from a Minstead victim. 

With absolutely no guarantee it will work, the Force Tasking Group have to come to a decision about funding Colin's high stakes gamble. Meanwhile, the news of a new and very vicious attack on an elderly lady makes the team all the more determined to catch their prey.

The surveillance is continuing, but everyone believes it's most unlikely Minstead Man will appear again after such a close call. The days turn into a couple of weeks, and not only have they seen no sign of Minstead Man on their plot, but he hasn't committed any offences anywhere else either. It seems he was well and truly spooked by the near miss.
