An investigation into an organised crime group who dressed as police officers while they raided a rival’s house is due to appear on national television tomorrow morning (Tuesday October 22).

The work of detectives from the force’s northern Acquisitive Crime Team (ACT) to catch the group within hours of the heist in Peterborough will be highlighted on this week’s Crimewatch Caught programme at 10.45am on BBC One.

In August 2022, a group of five men – Olsi Cakoni, Florin Doci, Tom Dodaj, Malesio Gjonaj and one who remains unknown – posed as police officers and armed themselves with guns, hammers and crowbars while they forced their way into the home which had been used to stash large amounts of cash.

The lead detective in the case features on the show explaining the “high-level sophistication of the job” with surveillance cameras, crowbars, fake police outfits, firearms and some significant sentences handed out at the end of it, being “the kind of thing that you really join the job for”.

Using police footage and dramatic reconstruction, Crimewatch Caught re-tells the story of how the force’s quick response to catch those responsible paid off.

The episode features interviews with the detectives involved in catching the gang and also shocking CCTV of the raid.

Crimewatch Caught is broadcast on BBC One at 10.45am every weekday this week and next. It is also available on BBC iPlayer for seven days.

Information about the investigation and sentencing can be found on the force’s website.
