Lucy Britford- known mockingly to the team as Lucy Bitchface- was a DCI who took an interest in the gang's activities. In her first encounter with Mickey, she had dinner with him to 'warn' him that she was aware of his next con, knowing that he would take her knowledge of his activities as a challenge and confident that she could outsmart him. However, when she attempted to arrest Mickey after meeting his mark- an ex-banker who had made his money in a pension scheme-, Mickey's briefcase only contained folders offering pension advice; the actual scam had been carried out behind Britford's back.
