S3 E13 Santa Snatcher

On 14th December 2019, a child-sized decorative Santa vanished from The Strawberry Hall pub in Dublin. But this wasn’t your average festive felony. Within 24 hours, photos of the kidnapped Santa began appearing on a dedicated Instagram account, mocking the pub, and taunting Ireland. And then came the twist no one was prepared for. Santa wasn’t just stolen… he was being held for ransom. For €5,000, to be precise. As the investigation deepens, the plot thickens with every clue. Was this the work of opportunistic thieves? A carefully orchestrated prank? Or most disturbingly - was this an inside job? It’s beginning to look a lot like… evidence. The next case opens on 1st Jan.
