Best Answer
Quoting from a Wikia
In Episode 5, he [Ian Reed] lets a robbery go ahead involving the Carrodus diamonds in return for a cash payment. However the Carrodus' are kidnapped by a rogue gang of American loansharks who kill the wife and one of their own members who tried to set her free. It turns out the [killed] gang member was the nephew of Ian's gangland contact, Bill whom Ian killed to protect his identity.
So it would appear that Reed was corrupt and influenced by his gangland contacts who were taking revenge for the killing of a family member.
