Officers are called to a supermarket, where a woman is trying to buy goods with a stolen credit card, PC Stringer is mugged on his way to work, and makes a point of tracking down the two young thugs.
Very good episode, I've noticed with my reviews that the episodes where something happens to one of the regulars, seems to add a bit of spice, and Stringer like Marshall recently, is one of the good guys.
There are more and more episodes which are exploring credit card fraud, you don't associate it so much back then, real problems with it now.
I did chuckle about that line about Thompson, he really is a big guy, he looks very modern for 1992, somewhat ahead of his time, John Paul Connolly made for a cracking, nasty villain with Thompson, and he really was a big guy.
Another quality episode, 8/10.
