In the village of Oakvale-On-Roe – (013) Briefing

 

The next day they had another briefing in the squad room, and when everyone was assembled he filled them in about the previous day in Farmers Lane and told them that Scenes of Crime Officer Aoife Shannon had taken a cast of a very clear tyre print from the soft verge thought to be from the Tesla and that her colleague Hannah Wells had some very clear women’s size 4 shoe prints with a very distinctive irregular heel, leading from the Mackay’s side gate to where the Lexus was parked.

“However, they are meaningless unless we can find something to match them to” he said

“We’ve now heard back from the handwriting expert and surprise, surprise the letter was NOT written by Dominic Mackay, so I suspect that it was written by the owner of the thumb and forefinger prints”

“Which aren’t in the system” DS Balwin pointed out

“Kris how are you getting on with locating the cars” he asked and she jumped up excitedly and bounded across the room

“I have found 3 gold Tesla’s registered in Downshire” said 

DC Krisztina Verebes

“But only one has 38 in the registration number, which is registered to Sebastian Mackay”

“Is it indeed” the DI mused

“And guess whose husband drives a Green Lexus?”

“Camilia Oberon nee Mackay” Steph Baldwin said

“Correct the DS wins a coconut” Kris said excitedly

“Well, that is interesting” the Inspector mused

“Especially when you see who I found on the Velveteen Vixen CCTV” DC Ross Grant said as he cast some images onto the big screen.

Ross Grant was thirty years old and was a quite shy, quiet unassuming man, very calm and a very capable officer who the Detective Inspector decided have “act up”,  acting up, being a euphemistic term for a temporary promotion or secondment, to cover holiday’s, sick leave or to make up the numbers on specific operations, and his super power was that he was blessed with a very analytical mind, ideal for searching for needles in haystacks.

“This is the moment when the bag is taken, 10.07 pm, but the thief is very careful to keep their back to the camera, and the only other image isn’t much better other than to show that it is a woman, but pay close attention to the gloves”

“Ok what are we looking at” Steph Baldwin asked

“She is wearing black evening gloves and has a gold wristwatch on her right wrist” Ross explained

“This third image is of a woman leaving the club and she makes no effort to avoid the camera, but look at her right arm”

“Black evening glove and a gold wristwatch” the Inspector observed “And the woman is?”

“Camilia Oberon nee Mackay” Steph Baldwin said

“So, a family affair” Steve mused

 

“Right, I think it’s time we did a deep dive into the Mackay’s

Sebastian, Camilia and her husband, and the mother, what’s her name?” the DI asked

“Aurora” Steph replied “a rather haughty, unpleasant woman”

“We can’t arrest her for that” the inspector said

“Mores the pity” Steph retorted

“Let’s get her for conspiracy to murder instead” Steve suggested
