All units, transport ED-905 has been hijacked.
Request units to Brown Lane for assist with officers, State Zero
and all units obs on...
Give.
My favourite!
Job done.
Nice work, lads.
Let's get this lot shifted.
Sir.
What have we got?
Hijack of a transport by armed men wearing dark balaclavas.
Three AFOs pronounced dead at the scene,
fourth critically wounded.
Mother of God!
The convoy was transporting drugs from Eastfield Depot
to the incineration facility.
The firearms and balaclavas all fit with established OCG activity.
As you were.
The transport contained heroin
with a street value of £10 million.
Now, the drugs themselves were code number ED-905,
originally seized about 18 months ago.
So, the chances are, the OCG that
paid for it in the first place wanted it back.
Or maybe a rival OCG did.
Either way,
ED-905 is back in the hands of organised crime.
Yeah. One thing's for sure,
they certainly had access to inside information.
OK, Steve, Kate.
Consider yourselves assigned. Find that leak.
- Sir. - Sir.
- Steve, you OK to open a case number? - Ma'am.
Maneet?
Sarge?
We need to open a case file on the Eastfield hijackers.
Evening.
Cheers, mate.
PS Cafferty.
DI Fleming, AC-12.
DS Arnott.
We're sorry about what happened to your team this morning.
The doctor said you might be up
for answering some questions about the hijack.
No one said AC-12 were on this.
We've just opened our inquiry.
We've listened to recordings of your RT with Control.
This is the transcript.
Now, initially you decided to follow procedure
and continue the convoy, and then you changed your mind
and attended the alleged road traffic collision.
There's no "alleged", ma'am.
I saw a mother fighting to save her baby.
I've got kids of my own. What else was I gonna do?
It must have been very distressing for you.
There was immediate threat to life, ma'am.
I did my duty as a police officer.
No one's accusing you of anything, Jane.
Yet.
The OCG didn't look into a crystal ball.
