Did the surveillance gap allow Carl Banks to escape? (And perhaps she didn’t want to take a former member of AC-12 to the Vella arrest op? We can but speculate). It also meant she had to leave her deputy DI Kate Fleming (Vicky McClure) behind, to take charge. The shooting, of course, meant Davidson had to urgently request a new team of AFOs to continue her operation to arrest the Gail Vella suspect. (Could she have known this was going to happen? Or was her swearing genuine?) Unfortunately, one of the robbers was shot after failing to drop his weapon in time, which meant that all the AFOs had to stay on the scene for “forensic recovery”. DC Chloe Bishop (Shalom Brune-Franklin) quipped: “Between them, these guys have never robbed anything bigger than their local Gregg’s.” And as DS Steve Arnott (Martin Compston) responded: “They just happened to be on the exact route and time of an op to bring in a suspect in an unsolved murder.” It must be noted (as AC-12 later discovered) that these armed robbers had incredibly short criminal records before deciding to rob the bookie’s, and certainly were not hardened criminals. The armed, balaclava’d robbers came running out of the bookie’s and the AFOs took them down. Davidson was either very astute, or she had foreknowledge that the robbery was going on – because she turned out to be absolutely correct. Cafferty turned out be bent, and involved in the set-up.Īnyway. Can’t rule out an immediate risk to the public.”įrankly, the whole thing had echoes of season five, when Sergeant Jane Cafferty (Sian Reese-Williams) diverted her convoy to ‘help’ a screaming woman whose baby was apparently trapped in a flame-engulfed car. Take us round!” She announced that she was re-routing to possible armed robbery, refusing DI Kate Fleming’s suggestion to call it in for another team to deal with: “You know a getaway vehicle when you see one, Kate. “Did anyone see that?” she said, ordering: “Take us round the back. Having seen the van, Davidson immediately diverted the convoy, much to her own team’s bafflement and frustration. As Superintendent Ted Hastings later put it while watching CCTV footage: “That convoy is going like the clappers, you’d do well to spot a pipe band in there.” This in itself is highly suspicious, because it seems odd she’d manage to see anything at all, given the speeds and angles involved. While being driven speedily through town, DCI Davidson spotted a white van parked on a side-road.

And when Davidson’s murder investigation team finally set off in the morning with vans full of AFOs (Armed Firearms Officers) to arrest “Ross Turner”, something strange happened. However, Buckells did hold things up until the morning. If he hadn’t held things up, would things still have panned out the way they did? He okay’ed an in-situ surveillance team, but he wanted executive sign-off before giving the operation the green light. In fact, it was only the intervention of her boss Superintendent Buckells (Nigel Boyle) that forced the whole thing to wait till morning. And after information came in from a CHIS (covert human intelligence source) with an address of a man called “Ross Turner” who’d been boasting of being involved in the murder, she definitely seemed eager to go and arrest him right away.
That’s the big question – so let’s explore this thoroughly, because it’s going to be vital to Line of Duty season six.ĭCI Joanne Davidson (Kelly Macdonald) is SIO (Senior Investigating Officer) of Operation Lighthouse, which is tasked with solving the murder of journalist Gail Vella. Why did DCI Joanne Davidson divert the convoy?
