From phone evidence to police footage: how investigations take shape.
An arrest is one point in a much longer story. This collection looks at evidence, searches, police footage and court outcomes, including the Gurnos firearms case and the Peterborough operation involving Brandon Lawson. The companion pages connect the action on screen with the wider account supplied by Street Crime UK. Original news reports remain separately available in the newsroom.
A killing in Brixton, an inquiry into criminal assets in Jamaica and a surge in London shootings form the documentary’s three strands. Their common problem is how investigators secure information, cooperation and lasting public trust.
The documentary examines a difficult relationship: people with connections to criminal networks providing information to police. Its focus is the tension between access, self-interest and cooperation, within a story linking Jamaica and the United Kingdom.

The account of an attack on Mohammed Ayaz follows a phone call, an industrial unit and a dispute over intimate material, with the victim’s experience remaining central to the documentary companion.
