Series 3: Episode 10
In Birmingham, officers crack down on a callous travel agent that is ripping off British holidaymakers, taking their money but never booking their flights. They are also on the trail of a crooked builder who befriended a pensioner in order to take his money, and they take to the streets to spot check luxury limos being driven in London. We hear the story of one limo that was driving a school party of 11-year-olds when it burst into flames.
