A taxi driver is held at knifepoint and an elderly woman is carjacked by the same man, but a tenacious detective is on his trail. And a young man supporting the hospice where his mum spent her last days is horrified when a thief steals one of their charity tins.

Detectives follow a trail of blood that leads to an elusive thief, and fraudsters con their victims out of thousands in a home improvement scam.
