5. Nigel wants to rob a security van. He phones his friend Omar, asking if he ‘wants in on the job for half of the money’. Omar is shocked at the suggestion and puts the phone down.
Nigel then turns to his wife Pauline, who agrees to be part of the plan. Pauline is however scared of her husband and only intends to drive him to the chosen location, and then play no further part in the robbery.
Later that day, Pauline drops Nigel off opposite a shop where the security firm makes deliveries. Nigel watches the van arrive from a safe distance and then starts to cross the road towards the van. As he does so the police arrive and arrest him. Unknown to Nigel, Omar had reported the planned robbery after receiving his call.
