Robber caught Part 2

And how did you catch him?

His boot print.

But that, by itself …

We asked around. Shops selling Hanes boots. We made up identikit pictures and asked who had bought boots like that and circulated the pictures at stations up and down the Central Line.

And you got a result?

There was, as you put it, a result. At one or two stations JR staff thought they recognized the face. So we put officers on watch there and one day, at one station we saw someone.

You grabbed him?

Oh, no, we followed him, we watched him, we put his room under surveillance.

You got a warrant?

We did the paperwork. And late one night…

You went in?

We knocked. He was asleep. He tried to run away.

He was dangerous?

No. But we knew straightaway we’d got him. His house was full of stuff.

Stuff?

Cash piled high. Gold, silver, diamonds, platinum. All neatly organized into groups. He was all set to go back to Korea. Come in tomorrow and we’ll try to identify your stuff.
