The Bill: 5x11

N.F.A.

W.P.C. Brind chases two bag snatchers, but they get away. She later spots one of them crossing the road and nicks him. The victim, Mrs Foster-Adams, is taken to the station to make a statement, but ends up more trouble than she’s worth – she eventually makes a complaint against Ch. Supt. Brownlow for “”gloating””. P.C. Ramsey and P.C. Melvin are paired together on patrol, a combination Brownlow warns Insp. Frazer not to repeat. Ramsey drives his car at some schoolkids “”for some sport””, and throws his truncheon at a can on a wall, setting off a burglar alarm. D.C. Lines investigates and finds the truncheon. Ramsey and Melvin catch a glue-sniffing prowler, who injures Ramsey’s finger. Tosh recognises the man, and convinces Ramsey to drop the assault charge.
