Crimecall RTE1

Atlantic Dawn

Could they make the ringtone louder please, I can't exactly hear it 🤔

sligeach

Someone rang in Crimecall to help the Gardaí with their enquiries and Carla picks up the phone at her table and drops it back down as it was making too much noise. Lovely.

Atlantic Dawn

There should be a new crime designation where someone steals someones tools they use for work, it's taking away a persons ability to put food on the table.

They might need to turn the ringer down on that phone!

How?

Imei is a good thing in that if I have my phone stolen and it's a Black Samsung, and I know my IMEI I report it.

Joe burglar/thief who has 100previous convictions is found with ten phones some day. Black Samsung doesn't really prove it's mine. But black Samsung with IMEI that I (and I wouldn't be able to, but some people note them down) provided does.

Other than that, they're not tracked/traced as such. You think there's some CSI database that can be scanned?

If the phone I'm typing on were to be swiped from my hand now, in all honesty, I haven't a clue what the IMEI is.

Even if I did..how does that trace it to anything? Canada goose on bike, swipes it from my hand, sells it for 50quid. How does the imei number have any relevance to proving where it is or who has it after it's stolen?

Not according to the Rules of the Road. The cyclist even said the truck driver done nothing wrong.

How did they recover the €450 the guy stole but not the thief?

I was wondering the same myself!

Did they mention anything about rivers searched or anything like that? Newspaper reports are like alluding to something else without saying what it is- all very mysterious - like you I would imagine it’s a likely accident at a river close to a road which no one has yet noticed but I think the guards may have a few other theories

It's very tragic watching the brother and sister of Keith Byrne tonight. He was at a wake earlier that evening, then went to the pub and was killed in a hit and run later that night, a few hundred metres from his home. Seems like he was passed out on the road before being struck.

I remember just over a year coming across a lad I know after midnight while I was out walking, lying on the side of a dark country road(no footpath, no hard shoulder), less than 100m from his home, he had been at a funeral that day, went drinking all day afterwards, he was absolutely scuttered. A couple of cars had swerved around him, never stopped to check on his condition. I wasn't walking down that way, but after watching the cars swerving, I had a flashlight on me that could see him lying further on down the road. I do wonder from time to time what might have happened that night had I not come across him.

The bike he left looks better than the bike he took 🤔

inside job on the shop I think

Possibly, ya. Top window left open, the thieves seemed to know what they were looking for. No alarm sensors upstairs, but they didn't go downstairs to the shop where there was a fortune of cigarettes, alcohol and other goodies. I do wonder are scratch cards traceable.

sligeach

I just tuned in, I missed most of that story, but I remember that poor lad Anthony being killed, wrong place, wrong time. I think he was an apprentice plumber, an apprentice anyway. Awful! It's sickening that his killers weren't caught.

Poor Inspector was very nervous tonight

Wouldn’t take Sherlock holmes to figure out what Irish ethnic group those three that attacked the main in the pub in Abbeyfeale Co Limerick are from ….

Atlantic Dawn

Ffs, can you not just say it's a BMW 3 Series, you have it on CCTV clear as day and recovered it burnt out.

Quitelife

who’d have a petrol service shop these days … many robberies shown tonight with little to go on .
Shooting in Longford a bit strange unless it’s part of Longford traveller feud ?

sligeach

That house burglary in Carrick-on-Shannon I'd say was local thieves with knowledge of the homeowners(who may be Indian or somewhere around that part of the world). I think they knew the people had valuable jewellery. One piece is valued at €7,500. How many people in Lis Cara would have a piece that valuable, and they just happened to break into that specific house in broad daylight? I don't think so.

Atlantic Dawn

The UK police record from the truck down on the vehicle and present this in court to make the case undefendable, same should be done here. Funniest I've seen is a guy having a McDonalds in his van while steering with his knees...

I'm sure all the suspended sentences and stiff talking's too that the judges give these vermin give the shop owners some comfort.

They should have a guard on a bike with a body camera doing this out of every station every day. The truck is great for motorways but they're missing a low cost high impact solution.

Have they stopped putting this on the Player again? I'm trying to find the latest episode by it doesn't seem to be there.

Well that didn't take long to disappear.

Having just finished watching West Ham v Man United, Erik Ten Hag should be on Crimecall given what he's doing at the club.

Novfith

I can't be the only one who finds this program infuriating at times.

A lot of times the crimes they are showing happened months, if not over a year ago with awful cctv footage where it's impossible to identify them.

There's also the section of ones who steal from shops with good CCTV who are from the immigrant community and as such they won't be watching Irish tv so will never be caught or else they are here on holiday and have already left the country.

Wow so From that I think you mean some fellow called Erik had ten Stags. Good for him was it all in 1 night or over the course of a couple of weeks?

AndrewJRenko

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122800540#Comment_122800540

The long delays certainly seem strange.

I don't see your logic about other communities. They don't need the individual or their families to be watching. They need their neighbours or workmates or school parent peers to be watching.

Novfith

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122801269#Comment_122801269

But these people often just live amongst their own community and don't interact amongst the Irish.

AndrewJRenko

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122801410#Comment_122801410

They go to schools. They go to shops. They go to work.

Novfith

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122801679#Comment_122801679

They again, largely work amongst their own people who speak their language.

No one is going to cop someone in a shop that they saw them on Crimecall.

AndrewJRenko

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122801879#Comment_122801879

So none of them have Irish bosses, Irish customers, Irish suppliers that they interact with? That's a bit of a stretch.

And still, they'll be doing the school pickup, they'll be hitting their local SPAR or Centra regularly.

No man is an island.

Yes if it's a theft crime I think it shouldn't be shown if 3 months have passed, if it's a serious assault case they could allow longer. With the quality of CCTV there should be new policy by the insurers in Ireland that if they shop doesn't have full HD quality CCTV that theft from the premises isn't covered, this would then feed down to what Gardaí would be provided with being much better quality.

Shan Doras

I remember years ago, their CCTV section featured someone stealing 2 bales of bord na Mona Briquettes from outside a shop, this was back in the pre carbon tax days when they cost probably less than a fiver per bale. Do they still feature such low scale crime? With all the thefts that likely happens all over Ireland daily, how do they choose which ones make crimecall so to speak?

It seems to me that they just stick a pin in a random Garda logbook.
