Fugitives - Season 1 Episode 6

For the past month officers Dave Lockwood and Tom Allen have been searching for a Polish man convicted of a series of increasingly violent robberies. The trail eventually leads them to a house which appears deserted - where a thorough search leads to an unexpected discovery. One shady character who thought he could escape to the sunshine was Manchester-born con-artist Tony Murphy. A fraudster with a taste for exotic and expensive foreign trips, Murphy got his hands on hundreds of thousands of pounds of cash and assets by lying through his teeth. He fled the UK in October 2012 to avoid a prison sentence, but when he opted for a luxury life in Spain, it was his daily routine that gave him away. In the West Midlands, Sergeant Ian Hands is searching for a wanted man, convicted of seven fraud offences in Poland back in 2005. An early morning call brings results.
