HONOUR AMOUNG THIEVES

Ackland and Noble attend when Barton Street Sergeant Nikki Wright comes across a man with stab wounds on the shoreline of the River Thames. Meanwhile, Stamp and Hemmingway are on the trail of two armed robbers who have just held up a bookies' headquarters at gunpoint. In the ensuing chase, the getaway vehicle comes face to face with the ambulance carrying Wright and the stab victim, resulting in a pile-up and standoff between the gunman and police. Wright negotiates with gunman whilst waiting for SO19, however the second robber manages to escape in the chaos of the crash. When the driver is arrested, the passenger, managing director of the bookies Charlie May, reveals the other robber has abducted his girlfriend. When he conveniently remembers the journey to an abandoned house, his girlfriend is found, but Wright catches a crucial detail that suggests May is involved. Meanwhile, Ackland and Noble discover their stabbing victim is a recently released prisoner, jailed for manslaughter. Suspecting the father of his victim as the culprit, Ackland has to talk the man out of suicide when he climbs onto a bridge railing, intent on ending his life. Manson is forced to intervene when James Tennant is arrested for assault whilst fleeing the scene of the pile-up RTC involving the ambulance.
