Supt. Chandler
assigns DC Kate Spears to a project involving CCTV
cameras in the Sun Hill area. Much to Sgt
Ackland's annoyance, she takes PC Jim Carver with
her, and they have words. Spears tells Ackland to
take it up with Chandler. But word is getting
around that Spears gets special treatment from the
boss. When a number of cameras are damaged, two
youths who have threatened one of the operators,
Pat Spencer, are suspected, but the culprit turns
out to be Robert Slade, who the youths call
"weird". Then Spears discovers Robert
lives in community care and thinks the cameras are
spying on him. Robert spends a lot of his time in
an internet café and tells Hollis about his
homepage, where Hollis sees a picture Robert has
taken of a shopping centre security guard, Tony
Malone. He is being given an envelope by known
robber Roger Franklin, who has just finished doing
time. Cullen assigns DS Singh and Kate Spears to
find out how all these disparate players are
involved. Then Pat Spencer is attacked, her
husband is seen talking to Tony Malone, and the
police suspect something is about to go down. Why
would her husband be talking to known robbers?
Pulled in for questioning, Barry Spencer confesses
that he exchanged information about the warehouse
he works at, in return for having his wife's
attackers beaten up. Under pressure, he then
reveals that Roger Franklin and his gang plan to
rob the warehouse that night. Cullen heads the
stakeout, but it goes awry when Robert Slade turns
up in the middle of the robbery and is taken
hostage. But they eventually trace his mobile and
arrest Malone and Franklin. Chandler praises
Spears in front of the whole relief, saying it was
her project that helped to catch the villains in
the act. But Barry Spencer brings her a video
showing that his wife had been watching the youths
on the CCTV for some time, and maybe it was being
under constant surveillance that caused them to
turn to crime. Spears is deflated, but Ackland
tells her that it might have happened anyway!
