Crimewatch Redux - Donald Barrett and David Croke (1985)

[@joshuaedwards4536]

Thanks for all these great retro 80s crimewatch uk programs and follow ups, always good to hear when justice is served....

[@relocatetoEUROPE]

Loving these 80s editions. What a different world it was! People were so polite and community orientated. I had just got married in 1980

[@deanfuller3796]

Great Stuff... love all the 1980s footage

I remember those Talbot rattly engines

[@Ariadne76-k3d]

Barrett was so worried about going to prison.....maybe he should have thought about that BEFORE he committed crimes.

[@banquorebuechett9914]

Thank you Sue. A time when crime reporting was much more civilised. As for the perpetrators.,POS.of course.

[@Xxxxxx19-p1c]

This was fascinating. Well done.

[@AwesomeAngryBiker]

I'm always flabbergasted as to why people disobey what armed robbers say and risk their own and others life's over money that isn't their and is insured

[@cdotnr3norwich]

Really good my man i always knew the storey was bigger.. Well done bro

How dumb dumping the device and mask outside your house.

[@HBomb1983]

The acting at the beginning reminded me of a Monty python sketch 😂😂

[@msjapan112]

Policemen in the olden times look so decent.

[@DonerKetty]

😂 looks can be deceiving then. Essex Police, the absolute height of police corruption.

[@kopthelotklopp1523]

[@relocatetoEUROPE]

Still hanging around so

Why didn't the person who constructed the photo fit point out to the witness that no-one on earth has a chin like that?

[@hughjass2745]

Jay Leno has entered the chat....

[@ClungePlunger2010]

didn't Croke shoot a landlord while dressed as a gardener early 2000s?

[@DLIN666]

I just looked that up too, must be him as one story says that he was a career robber.

[@FOREIGNSLOTMANIAC]

He did.
