Who is Rob Towler?
When DC Stevie spotted hard man Rob Towler and his enforcer Gordon McCardle buying a dodgy passport she knew they were planning a job. She previously spent eight months undercover with Rob, trying to crack his big time heroin deals. Eventually Rob was sent to prison for ten years for slashing sixteen-year-old model Sophie Randall across the face. Find out more in Part 2’s video.
Stevie Goes Undercover
After much persuasion from DS Stuart, Stevie agreed to go back undercover on the Towler case. Determined to do it her way, she changed into her protective leathers and zoomed off on her motorbike. After nearly knocking Rob down to grab his attention, he was clearly pleased to see Stevie. Find out what happened when they met in Part 3’s video.
In The Bedroom
Back at Rob’s flat, Stevie tried to get Rob to discuss a drug deal that was planned to go ahead later that day. Rob had only one thing on his mind – getting Stevie into the bedroom. Stuart waited outside. Find out what a stunned Stuart witnessed in part 4’s video.
