The residents of Summer Bay have been plagued by a number of break-ins and robberies in recent weeks, with a fan-favourite Home and Away character revealed as the next target.<\/p>\n

In scenes airing in Australia this week, Justin Morgan receives a call asking for help from someone who has broken down on the side of a deserted road.<\/p>\n

Eager to get another client under his belt in his new mechanic job, Justin rushes to the location.<\/p>\n

However, once he’s there, he can’t see a single person or vehicle. And there’s no phone signal either to call the supposedly-in-danger person.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, Justin himself is the one in danger, as he gets out of his vehicle to examine the area… only for a hooded figure to appear out of nowhere and jump straight into his car.<\/p>\n

Justin tries to give chase, but can’t keep up.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the police are baffled by the crime spree, and David Langham is facing the pressure to come up with answers.<\/p>\n

Richie is eager to prove himself and find some evidence, but while David appreciates his enthusiasm, Cash Newman does not.<\/p>\n

David actor Jeremy Lindsay Taylor told Australian publication TV Week<\/a>: “A spate of robberies are taking place in Summer Bay. David sees this as a good opportunity for Richie to learn, asking him what he would do in this situation.<\/p>\n

“He can see that he is eager, which brings a new energy to the station, not such a bad thing in his opinion.<\/p>\n

“Cash is not as patient as David, and Richie seems to annoy him with his enthusiasm. David can see this and has a bit of fun teaming them up together, telling Cash to mentor the young rookie.”<\/p>\n

While David is having fun and games, people are still being affected by the crime wave. Can the trio get the bottom of who’s behind it sooner rather than later?<\/p>\n

Home and Away drops new episodes on weekdays at 6am on 5\u2019s streaming service with a 6.30pm screening on 5STAR. Selected classic episodes are available via Prime Video<\/a> in the UK.<\/p>\n

In Australia, the show airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 and streams on 7Plus.<\/p>\n
