The force helicopter had a very busy night last night fighting crime and helping vulnerable people. It was out for some time at Dunstable looking for a missing woman with Alzheimers, then went to Kempston to help catch two people for stealing a motorbike from man's garden; then went straight to Arlesey to locate a distressed woman who was on the train track. She was talking to the emergency services by phone but officers on foot could not see her in the dark. Trains were stopped while XA99 used thermal imaging cameras to locate her. She was brought into custody by police and taken to hospital to receive treatment. Finally the team went to Clapham to a report of a burglary and helped ground-based officers locate some stolen property. The offenders haven't yet been caught but enquiries are on-going. Thanks XA99!
