In this week's episode of Criminal Record, the Daily Record Crime Reporter Norman Silvester takes us through the big crime stories of the last week which saw Police Scotland criticised over the number of police station closures and accusations that they are not fingerprinting enough suspects. We also examine how use of force by police towards suspects rocketed last year during an explosion of gangland violence, a bizarre shopping centre ram raid, and a County Lines drugs blitz. Norman also reveals a victim's fears over any future release of 'limbs in the loch' killer William Beggs. Learn more about your ad choices.
