Lucy and Jake arrive at the scene of a burglary to find a branch manager lying unconscious after being shot. Next to him is his traumatised colleague, Stella.

After a spate of burglaries on the local estate, Neil and Kelly are on patrol in an attempt to reassure local residents that the latest crime spree is being taken seriously.

Later in the day, Neil and Kelly rush back to the estate when another burglary is reported. This time, though, the intruder is still lurking inside the property, and is a familiar face to the concerned PCs.
