- 2. Mollie: Hello and welcome to Coventry crackdown. Eve: Today we have a one off special about the Westgate robbery. Introduction…
- 3. Jamie: Toby Westgate is a 26 year old man who was raised in the Earlsdon area of Coventry. Toby comes from a loving family, but at the age of 18 he fell into the wrong crowd and picked up a bad habit for drugs. Westgate first came to the attention of West Midlands Police just three months after his 185) birthday when he was found in the possession of the class C drug marijuana. Little did both Westgate's family and the police know this was only the beginning of his criminal behaviour. On November the 7th of this year, Westgate committed his most violent crime to date. 20 year old Maisy Roberts also from Coventry was his victim. He targeted Roberts after spotting her at her place of work just three weeks prior to the attack. Westgate grew an obsession for Roberts which ultimately led to his attack and theft of her car. The reason behind Westgate's obsession is the uncanny resemblance between Roberts and his former partner.
- 4. Eye Witness Account… Mollie: This is an eyewitness account of the attack from Roberts' co worker who wishes to remain anonymous. Eve: Some viewers may find this distressing.
- 5. Eye Witness Account… Halena: It was just a normal day at work, we were tired and just wanted to go home. I left shortly after Maisy and what I saw was horrifying. I saw the attacker, he was wearing dark clothes he was really tall, it looked like a male. I saw him attacking Maisy and then he just drove off in her car. *upset* I'm sorry. Maisy is my best friend. All I want is justice for her.
- 6. Police officer account… Mollie: PC Jones joins us here today in the studio to give us the latest in his teams investigation.
- 7. PC Jones… Louis: Thanks Mollie. We are taking this case very seriously and it is our highest priority at the moment. Maisy is currently in a critical position in hospital, but we will be interviewing her when she is well and able. We have an eye witness account and Toby Westgate has been identified. Westgate is on the run and we have found Maisy's car burnt out 50 miles from her place of work where it was stolen. We can assure you we will catch Westgate and bring him to all the justice he deserves.
