Caught Red-Handed explores the clever ways both the police and ordinary citizens are using ingenious traps to catch criminals in the act.


Police forces are turning the tables on criminals, setting up elaborate sting operations to catch offenders —both men and women —in the act. And it’s not just the authorities; everyday people are also coming up with creative ways to trap crooks… red-handed.


Presented by Dom Littlewood, this series delves into unconventional police operations aimed at tackling crime and anti-social behaviour. With the thrill of the chase, hidden cameras, CCTV, and on -the-ground reporting, viewers witness the moment criminals face their inevitable downfall.


Using the latest technology, undercover tactics, and high-tech surveillance, these operations are designed with precision and psychological insight. The results are captured on hidden cameras, providing vital evidence for the courts—and now, for TV viewers to see. The trap is set. Now, we wait for the criminals to fall into it…


Focusing on crimes and anti-social behaviour that affect everyday life, Caught Red-Handed takes viewers on a dramatic journey from setup to capture, showing just how far authorities and citizens will go to bring criminals to justice.
