00:00If we can't verify who you are, okay, the police will have to verify you.
00:06This is very, very serious, okay?
00:09With the threat of British Transport Police involvement, the suspect finally provides ID.
00:14Do you know why I stopped you?
00:16No.
00:17No?
00:19Is this your card?
00:21No.
00:21No.
00:22Okay, so that card is not yours, right?
00:25No, it's my uncle.
00:26It's who?
00:27Uncle.
00:27Your uncle?
00:28Yes.
00:29Okay, so if this card belongs to your uncle, does he know you have it?
00:36Sorry?
00:37Does he know that you have it?
00:39My uncle?
00:40Yeah, does he...
00:40My uncle no longer here, it's from Georgia.
00:43Your uncle's gone to Georgia?
00:44It's not working.
00:46It's not working?
00:48So why are you using it on the train then?
00:51How long have you been using that on the train?
00:53How long?
00:55Today?
00:56Don't lie to me.
00:57There are currently 10,000 cards identified on the ITAP investigation list as being potentially
01:04used for fare evasion.
01:05You have it longer than today, so how long have you been using it?
01:12I didn't find you by accident, okay?
01:15I knew I was looking for you.
01:18Do you want to know how?
01:20Well, that's you.
01:21On the 8th of December, I've got loads of days, different days.
01:2915th of November, that's you.
01:337th of November, this is Farringdon.
01:36That's you.
01:407th of December, this is Farringdon.
01:4410th of December, this is you.
01:4711th of December, this is you.
01:51That's you.
01:52That's you again at Farringdon.
01:55And this goes all the way back to the 7th of December, 2024.
02:01That's over a year ago.
02:04So when I asked you how long you've been using the card, and you said, today, that's how I
02:09knew, okay?
02:12Okay, so do you agree that that was you?
02:15That was you, right?
02:16With the card.
02:18This card?
02:18Yeah.
02:19Yeah.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Faced with overwhelming evidence, the suspect admits he's been using the card to dodge paying
02:25fares for over a year.
02:27Are you ready to see how much this is going to cost?
02:30Are you ready?
02:33Deep breath.
02:34Deep breath, it's big.
02:35Yeah, yeah.
02:36Okay?
02:37It's a lot.
02:39£3,710.80.
02:44This means I would like to take responsibility at this early stage for the full amount.
02:49of unpaid fares, okay?
02:51All that means is, yes, it was me, and I'll deal with it once.
02:57Okay?
02:58That's the scary part, Don.
03:00Okay?
03:01Deep breath.
03:03All right.
03:03I'm so sorry.
03:04No, it's all right.
03:05It's all sorry, mate.
03:05Thank you for talking to me, all right?
03:07The suspect will now face prosecution and a potential criminal record for 530 counts of
03:14fare evasion.
03:16Take care, mate.
03:16And a fine of £3,780.
03:20Thank you for continuing.
