1 DI Bullet solves the crime

Figure 1

This is how DI Bullet thinks the crime happened:

  • A silver Audi, number plate NG58 VXW, screeches round a corner and into the street.
  • Four men jump out and start firing shotguns. The driver is in charge and calls orders to the others.
  • The men are dressed in camouflage with dark jackets. Two men are masked.
  • The masked men hold guns on two security guards, while an unmasked man tackles one to the ground and cuts the chain attaching a case to the guard’s arm.
  • While this is happening, the driver approaches Seth, Lila and Liz, threatens them with a shotgun and drags Liz back to the car and pushes her inside.
  • The four men then jump into the car which pulls away at speed.
  • The car is abandoned a few miles away with Liz still inside.
  • The unmasked robber is short (approx. 5 feet 3 inches), of Indian ethnicity, in his early 20s, overweight and has long, dark hair.
  • The driver is tall (approx. 6 feet 4 inches), Caucasian, bald and has a muscley build.

The unmasked robber is the man known as Fat Baz. The evidence for this is:

  • the description from both witnesses matches him very closely
  • the Photofit is a very good resemblance of him
  • both witnesses identified him in an identity parade.

The driver is the man known as The Sergeant. The evidence for this is:

  • the description from both witnesses matches him very closely
  • the Photofit is a very good resemblance of him
  • both witnesses identified him in an identity parade.
