00:00Don't push me mate.
00:02Fed up of feral teens.
00:04What are you doing mate?
00:05Cheesed off with the town louts.
00:08Or driven mad by the druggy deadbeats.
00:11I've got drugs on me.
00:1220 raps.
00:13Well fear no more.
00:15You are under arrest.
00:17Here's the answer to your prayers.
00:22If you're causing criminality in this town, we will come after you.
00:26Meet the coppers leading the fight back.
00:30Taking back your neighbourhood.
00:33You're under arrest suspicion of possession and attention.
00:35Cleaning up our streets.
00:37You've tested my patience.
00:39We are at the forefront of policing.
00:41Move back!
00:42We're frontline.
00:43Day in, day out.
00:45Stay up!
00:46Stop!
00:49Street cops.
00:50Catching the yacht.
00:52This time, police crack down on thugs running riot in town.
01:03Police!
01:04Police!
01:05Time's up for a very naughty boy.
01:09It's about 15 or 16.
01:11And it's last orders for the village drunk.
01:14I've got an approach to have a lot of crack.
01:22Ask any of the nearly million or so folks living in Northamptonshire
01:26and they'll tell you that it's less East Midlands and more Wild West.
01:31In Northampton, the area where I live, crime is a high priority.
01:36We have antisocial behaviour and it is frightening and it seems to be getting worse and worse.
01:43Horrendous.
01:44Absolutely horrendous compared to when I was younger.
01:47It's everywhere you go, on the news, on the newspapers, on the street.
01:53It is terrifying.
01:55Stay down!
01:56Get on the floor.
01:57Certainly seen a lot more aggression towards police officers
02:00and just a complete lack of respect for anybody in any sort of authority.
02:05Northamptonshire's police aren't messing about.
02:08They're getting more boots on the ground to take back the streets.
02:12I'm just going to go around and see what's sort of going on at the moment.
02:21Just get almost at the lay of the land.
02:24PC Schaff and PC Dan are on the hunt for troublemakers in an unmarked police car.
02:29So we're just going to do some mobile patrols before we get on foot late in the evening in the estate.
02:35Northamptons on edge.
02:37A teen's been stabbed and rushed to hospital, fighting for his life.
02:41This is typical of the nightmare locals can face here every day.
02:46Now it's a race to find who's behind the attack.
02:50We're trying to target nominals that are basically causing issues around this area,
02:57where kids just carrying knives, you know, as part of their garment.
03:01As I am...
03:05Schaff and Dan have clocked a shifty looking teenager out and about.
03:10Yeah, let's have a chat, mate.
03:11Oh!
03:12Where's he going?
03:13He's legged it.
03:14Dad, just check the gardens, mate.
03:29The coppers might be in civvies, but this bad boy can spot the lure a mile off.
03:35And he's legged it.
03:36You see him run that way?
03:40Shaf!
03:41Wait, he's run that way?
03:42Yeah, a lady said he just run that way.
03:45He's going to have something on here.
03:48I reckon he's probably gone.
03:50He's going to be able to have lads again, isn't he?
03:56After combing the streets, Shaf goes off-road.
04:00Running.
04:01We've had a young IC1 lad run away from us.
04:05Spot him.
04:06Hightailing it out of the alley.
04:07Full black tracksuit.
04:08Dan keeps the control room updated.
04:10He's on Billion Road.
04:12Hey!
04:13Stop!
04:14Stop!
04:15Get out!
04:16Get out!
04:17Get out!
04:18Get out!
04:19Stay where you are!
04:20Stay where you are!
04:21Stay where you are!
04:22Give me your hand!
04:23Send me your hand!
04:24Keep your hands there!
04:25What are you wanting for, then?
04:26Dan gives this bad lad a quick once-over, checking for drugs and weapons.
04:39Dan Noone from Campbell Square Police Station.
04:40Grounds for the search.
04:41Don't run.
04:42Why are you running?
04:43We've seen you up the road there.
04:44You've run away from us.
04:45You've run away from us.
04:46We've just seen you there and you're running away, okay?
04:47So I suspect you've got an article on you.
04:48Such as a bladed article.
04:49Okay?
04:50Keep working, baby.
04:51It's a blank, isn't it?
04:52It's a blank.
04:53It's a blank.
04:54It's not real.
04:55In his man bag, he's got a prisoner.
04:56I'm a man in the bank.
04:57How are you doing?
04:58How are you doing?
04:59What do you think?
05:00What do you think?
05:01We've seen you at the road there.
05:02You've run away from us.
05:03You've run away from us.
05:04You've run away from us.
05:05We've just seen you there and you've run away, okay?
05:06So I suspect you've got an article on you.
05:08Such as a bladed article.
05:09Okay?
05:10Keep working here for me.
05:11That's how I'm gonna find out, mate.
05:12Because if there's something sharp on you...
05:13Mate, if it was sharp, it's all we open.
05:14It's a blank, isn't it? It's a blank, it's a blank.
05:17In his man bag, something very naughty indeed.
05:23Right, it's very in time you're under arrest, suspicion of possession of an imitation firearm in a public place, okay?
05:28You don't have to say anything, ma'am, defence, if you don't mention one question, something which you may lay on in court.
05:32Anything you do say may be given evidence, okay?
05:34Last year, people caught with imitation guns rose by 25%.
05:38We're upon the effective investigation.
05:39It explains why he went to all Usain Bolt, but that isn't all he's hiding.
05:45What's in it?
05:47Flick, flick, mate.
05:49Right, you're also under arrest, possession of a bladed article on a public place, okay?
05:54And the caution still applies.
05:57You want bail?
05:59Yeah.
06:00This chap was running, he's got a bladed article on him, and he's got a imitation firearms.
06:06How old are you?
06:07No way.
06:08Okay, he's about 15 or 16, sir.
06:12Nowadays, with the young lads, it's part of their clothing now.
06:17We'll have to make it far, I'm safe.
06:19We'll take him down to custody.
06:23Busted with both a blade and a piece, this lad is hauled off to the nick.
06:29Armed cops are called in to check if the gun's the real deal.
06:32Believe it or not, over 500 children were nabbed with weapons like this in the past year.
06:41The demand of incidents that we deal with, and knife incidents, there's no surprise, to be honest, that he was carrying something like that.
06:51So, yeah, that's why we're here, we're trying to deter as much as we can.
06:56This could have ended very badly if we didn't recover these weapons from him.
07:01An ordinary member of the public, if they saw that gun, if you threatened them with that, they're going to think that it's a real gun.
07:08The shooter's not deadly, yet, but in the wrong hands, it's an entirely different story.
07:16That could do some serious damage, and he probably isn't thinking of the consequences of that.
07:23I've been in this town nearly 20 years, 21 years, and it was never this bad, because everyone's carrying a weapon.
07:33It's almost like a fashion to carry a weapon.
07:35The teenage outlaw is not connected to the recent stabbing, but that's two weapons off our streets.
07:46Coming up, it's closing time.
07:48You're shouting and swearing in the street, and you're drunk.
07:50For one man's happy hour.
07:53No!
07:54I've had enough.
07:56Police!
07:57And drug dealers watch your back.
07:59Stay where you are!
08:00Knock, knock, it's the cops.
08:03Get down on the floor!
08:04We're asking on your back!
08:05Forget the costa del crime.
08:17Britain is now the kingdom of crime.
08:21There's drugs, there's anti-social behaviour with drinking, and it makes people very, very frightened in the area and very afraid to come out.
08:28I feel like the crime's increasing daily, the demand for us is getting higher and higher, and the criminality's increasing.
08:39If I was Prime Minister, I'd have far more police on the streets, give them far more powers, because sometimes they haven't got the power to deal with the problem.
08:53That's what I would do.
08:54The boovery in Northampton is one naughty estate, the locals are fuming, because gangs, dealers and crims on the run have made this place home.
09:08But crime needs to watch its back, because the cops are in town, and they mean business.
09:16I think he's wanted in another force.
09:19Midweek, and PC's Dan and Rebecca are out on the hunt, and it's game on, with no polite introductions.
09:26He's saying he's just left Nick, but he's no actor, and Dan isn't dishing out awards today.
09:45Listen, I just got out of prison yesterday.
09:48All right, mate.
09:48Do you understand what I'm saying to you?
09:50We'll get you in the car.
09:51We'll get you in the car.
09:51We'll just have a double check, all right?
09:52Yeah, but listen, I just got out of prison yesterday.
09:54All right.
09:55I'm not sure when you've been wanted from.
09:56It might be that it's been put on today or something.
09:58Well, I ain't done nothing today.
10:00All right.
10:00I'm ordering food, lad.
10:01You're showing wanted on PNC.
10:04Let's get you to our car.
10:05I ain't going to go to the car.
10:05We'll discuss them.
10:06You'll have to go up and hold them in.
10:07I know.
10:07Oi, robot cop.
10:09Leave gold, darling.
10:10Okay.
10:10Why's me?
10:11Idiot.
10:12So why did you not get me for it?
10:13You can't just keep arresting me.
10:15Yeah?
10:16Yeah, excuse me.
10:17It ain't about that, yeah?
10:18I've come out of prison yesterday.
10:19I'm on license.
10:21Bring up my probation officer.
10:22All right.
10:22Yeah?
10:23Don't be ill...
10:24Yo, darling.
10:24I'm not getting an old crime.
10:25And you, mate, get that camera away from me and now.
10:28Pay me, Bob, yeah?
10:29I promise you I'll kick you in the balls, lad.
10:32Calm down.
10:32Hang on.
10:32I ain't done for a long...
10:33Listen, I get you frustrated, okay?
10:35But as I said, you're showing us being wanted on PNC, all right?
10:39Do you understand that, lad?
10:40Why are you not coming to get me for it?
10:41Yeah, I understand what...
10:42I understand what you're saying.
10:44Yeah, can you...
10:44Don't be sorry to help me.
10:46I'm really...
10:47Okay.
10:48I have a probation officer and everything.
10:49My supervisor is...
10:50I've got food there as well, yeah?
10:52Can you get my...
10:53No, can you just stop talking one moment so I can explain to you what's going on, okay?
10:58Yeah, but darling, come on, mate.
10:59Right, don't call me darling.
11:00Well, sorry, officer.
11:01I'm no different to any other officer just because I'm female, okay?
11:04I never said that.
11:05Okay, but would you call him darling?
11:07No.
11:07No, exactly.
11:08Right.
11:08The fella just won't pipe down.
11:11PC shafts there as backup.
11:13So from what I can see, it got put onto the National Police computer.
11:18Yeah, I'm...
11:19No, no, this...
11:20Yeah, that's what I'm trying to tell you.
11:21So you're still going to lock me up?
11:22Yes.
11:23You are under arrest.
11:24Excuse me, can you tell me what I'm arresting for?
11:25Right.
11:26I'll do that, mate.
11:26Because you, mate, I knew that you were hopping around for a reason.
11:30You're a sausage you are, mate.
11:32You're not arresting me yourself.
11:34Well, I can hear you, though.
11:35What are you doing?
11:35What are you doing here?
11:36I'm going to sort my business out and I'll sort this out.
11:39You're...
11:39Do one.
11:40Do one, mate.
11:41Mind your language.
11:42What are you going to do about it?
11:43Oh, yeah.
11:43Oh, yeah.
11:44Well, do it then, lad.
11:45Oh, yeah.
11:45I don't give a...
11:46You know what I'm...
11:47You know you're a little sausage.
11:48Do one, you little clown.
11:50Yeah.
11:50Go on.
11:51Go on.
11:51No, you aren't arresting me.
11:53Yes, mate.
11:53Are you hopping me into sex?
11:54Obviously.
11:54Yeah.
11:55Do one.
11:56You couldn't arrest me because you never had the balls, is it?
11:58Sausage.
11:58You aren't arrest me.
11:59Yeah, go on.
11:59Yeah, mate.
12:00You never had the balls arrest me, did you?
12:01Right, get...
12:01But clearly, you've got a woman to do with your little sausage.
12:04Yeah, you know you're getting knocked out, you little clown.
12:06Oh, thank you.
12:07Skip forward a bit for us.
12:08Oh, I won't.
12:08On the edge of the seat.
12:10Hurry up, man.
12:10Hurry up, will you?
12:11Look, we'll get it all sorted, all right?
12:13It's going to happen.
12:13I knew I shouldn't have shot my face.
12:15I knew it.
12:21There's numbers that show most people reckon drugs are rampant in their neck of the woods.
12:27Drugs are rife.
12:29We have it in our own block.
12:31But everywhere you go, you can smell wacky-backy.
12:35I think, you know, there's always going to be a drug problem.
12:39There's always going to be criminal gangs operating.
12:41But I think all of that could happen without the nastiness we see on the streets every day in a huge amount of cases.
12:50Potentially, there'll be lots of drugs there.
12:52Weapons.
12:53They all wear body armor as well.
12:55Across town, PC's Dan and Harry have intel that violent county-line crims from the city are trying to get a piece of the action.
13:04In Northampton's Class A drugs market.
13:08Drugs at the moment are, in my personal opinion, 90% at least of the problem with all crime.
13:14You can almost trace back most crime to drugs.
13:18It's a problem everywhere.
13:21They don't want a turf war on their patch.
13:24And they don't want more drugs flooding the streets.
13:27So they swiftly gather a team to smash the gang.
13:31It's town centre-ish, I'd say.
13:37There's a lot of drug users from that area.
13:41The property we're going to is a house of malt occupancy.
13:45Our boys have come in force.
13:49They want to catch the dealer's cold and make sure any fight back is put to bed sharpish.
13:54The fast doorknock goat catches one fella totally blind.
14:13At the moment, you're just heading for a section 23 search, all right?
14:22Do you not know me?
14:23Hey?
14:23Do you not know me?
14:25I know where you are, yeah.
14:26I've got up the speech from yesterday, bro.
14:28Bring your legs up.
14:29That's it, you stay there for me.
14:30All right, you've got on there, yeah?
14:35Yeah.
14:36Yeah, you can do.
14:37You've got to drown.
14:38All right, so you're right.
14:40At the moment, you're saying for a section 23 misuse drugs out of search, okay?
14:44He's only been out of custody a matter of hours, but he appears to already be bagged up with green.
14:49We've received information, okay, stating that you're dealing with drugs from this address.
14:55I'm dealing with drugs.
14:56Okay, so that's just the information we've been given, but it's why we've came in and you've been stopped searching, all right?
15:01I don't have no drugs.
15:03I've got a bit of cannabis here because I smoke cannabis.
15:06Adamant he has nothing else to hide.
15:08Do you want me to start a barthro?
15:09Yeah, I start a barthro.
15:11Cops start to look through all the nooks and crannies in the flat.
15:19All right, is it just you in here?
15:26Yeah.
15:27Okay.
15:28Is this your place?
15:30I'm staying here in it with my mate as well, but I don't know where my mate is because he ain't come back.
15:35Okay.
15:37I've just been chilling.
15:38I don't know where all this stuff.
15:41But we receive information all the time.
15:43Some of it's true, some of it's not true, okay?
15:45Obviously, we found you with...
15:47With weed, yeah.
15:48With a bit of a little weed on you.
15:49With some weed over there.
15:50I smoke weed, like...
15:52What about?
15:52Over there, by my throat.
15:54Okay.
15:55And this is yours as well, yeah?
15:56This is yours?
15:58Yeah.
16:01So the green is his.
16:03I'll just confirm, obviously, that big pack was located on your person's by my colleague.
16:07And these two were from over there that your state are yours, yeah?
16:11All my personal use.
16:12So...
16:12But the flat finally gives up a bigger secret and some heavier drugs.
16:17What's the wrapper, Class A?
16:19What's the wrapper, Class A?
16:21Yeah, that's...
16:22Uncooked, Crack.
16:25It's not been cut.
16:28There's about four or five relatively big lumps of what I think is Crack-a-Cone.
16:32They've netted one crim, but they wanted a gang and all its drugs.
16:53Now they've raided one gaffe, cops have shown their hand.
16:57They need to act sharpish to catch the other dealers before they do a Houdini.
17:02People hate a drunk, especially one who milks it in public.
17:10I live near a little park, so if you go walking around that park, which many of us do every day,
17:17you will see somebody drunk or something like that.
17:20They'll just go and start day drinking, have no regard, just leave all the cans everywhere,
17:25um, while they're playing music, screaming, shouting at each other.
17:29It does make you feel quite uncomfortable.
17:32I used to love a drink, but I never drank on the streets.
17:36I'd drink at home or in the correct pace.
17:39It's afternoon in Kettering, the two Sams, P.C. Donald and Orton, are heading into town.
17:55One bloke clearly can't handle his drink, and he's being a right pain in public.
18:00Right, do you want to get rid of the beer, mate?
18:02Do you want to get rid of the beer?
18:04Yeah, thank you.
18:07Yeah, thank you. Cheers, mate. Get rid of that.
18:10What's good for you, then? Why are you shouting and swearing in the street?
18:13Yeah, please, I don't know if you want.
18:16Yeah, but you're shouting and swearing in the street, and you're drunk.
18:20What are your plans, mate? We need to just move you on.
18:25Hello, you got Omega 5 on today?
18:28Have you ever touched me? Yeah.
18:30Yeah.
18:31Okay, are you going home?
18:34No.
18:35I'm going in the pool to have a lawn on the crack.
18:38Are you?
18:39Hello, MiG5. Top of Gold Street, you've got a male in grey shorts, topless.
18:42You're right, just keep an eye.
18:43Don't walk in the road.
18:46Don't walk in the road. You'll get run over.
18:53Tippling in public isn't illegal, but acting like a numpty and refusing to move on when asked is a quick ticket to the cells.
19:02Don't walk over there.
19:03No.
19:04Right.
19:05Go away then, please.
19:06Well, you need to stop shouting in the street and trying to get yourself run over.
19:09Go home, please.
19:11Oh, what's that felt? Look.
19:13Right.
19:14Stop shouting.
19:15You need to stop shouting and go home.
19:16Okay?
19:17Good lad.
19:18Off you go.
19:23Go away.
19:24Go home.
19:25Go home.
19:26Go home.
19:27Honestly, it's like herding cats.
19:29No copper wants to arrest idiots for minor offences.
19:32The criminal justice system is stretched far enough.
19:36So our two street cops encourage the man to walk his own way home.
19:42Try and give it a bit of leeway and we try and work with them.
19:45So it's better just to try and get him away.
19:47Then we can just leave him on his merry way, hopefully, and get home safely.
19:50But at some point he crosses that line and that's when he has to be dealt with robustly.
19:54So there would take no messing around, really.
19:57So it's a tough line we have to stay with.
20:01Oh, mate.
20:02Oh, right.
20:03Okay.
20:04We need to take him home.
20:05All right.
20:06You need to go home, mate.
20:07You're leaving, otherwise you're going in the police car.
20:09I'm done.
20:10Come on, mate.
20:11Where are you going to?
20:12You need to leave now.
20:14Keep going.
20:15That way.
20:16That way.
20:17That way.
20:18That way.
20:19You need to move on.
20:20That way.
20:21That way.
20:22That way.
20:23Walk away.
20:24Keep going.
20:25What?
20:26You keep from pushing me, mate.
20:28I'm not pushing you.
20:29You're walking to me.
20:30You're pushing me?
20:32Off you go.
20:34What's the limit?
20:36You're not arresting me at all.
20:41I've done nothing wrong.
20:43No, yeah, but you're pushing it, mate.
20:45You're pushing it.
20:46I'll walk over here.
20:47I think sometimes just being here is more of an aggravator.
20:51Given the benefit of the doubt.
20:53For now.
20:54For now.
20:55We'll see what he does.
20:57Sometimes police presence is the aggravating situation, isn't it?
21:01An aggravating factor.
21:02Yeah.
21:03The pair give the drunk one last chance, but inevitably, he knows better.
21:08Go away.
21:09Come on, dude.
21:10And then he has a pop at a dog walker.
21:11I've had enough.
21:12I've had enough.
21:13No.
21:14No, no, no, no.
21:15Don't.
21:16No.
21:17No.
21:18No.
21:19No.
21:20No.
21:21No.
21:22No.
21:23No.
21:24No.
21:25No.
21:26No.
21:27No.
21:28No.
21:29No.
21:30I've had enough.
21:31I've had enough.
21:33You're acting like a child.
21:35You need to go home.
21:37You just didn't listen, did you, mate?
21:40Once he's in cuffs.
21:42Oh, come on, please.
21:43The begging begins.
21:44Oh, my God.
21:45You've tested my patience too much.
21:46Oh, please let me go, please.
21:49Please let me go, please.
21:52Please.
21:53Right.
21:54Oh, please let me go.
21:55Get in.
21:56Sit down.
21:57Get in.
21:58Get in.
21:59Get in the car.
22:00Get in and sit down.
22:01Oh, my God.
22:02Oh, my God.
22:03We've tried to give him the chance to go home, and now he's pushed it too far.
22:12You're going to custody, mate.
22:13I'm sorry.
22:14What?
22:15You're going to custody.
22:16No.
22:17Yes.
22:18No.
22:19Yes.
22:20No.
22:21Yes.
22:23Not mine.
22:24Yes.
22:25I've done enough of mine.
22:27We'll agree to disagree on that part, I think.
22:30I'm sorry, sir.
22:31Oh, come on.
22:32I know.
22:33No.
22:34Yes.
22:35This way, mate.
22:36This way, mate.
22:37Come on.
22:38In you go.
22:39Step up.
22:40Good job, lad,phine.
22:41Step up.
22:42Come on.
22:43Good job.
22:44Mind your head.
22:46Sit down!
22:51He'll now be charged down at Kettering Nick.
22:58Coming up...
23:00The chase is on to stop an e-bike hammering it round a local estate.
23:07And the cops are putting in a door to snag a drug dealer.
23:11Please!
23:12Is that where you are?
23:13Is that where you are?
23:14We're on your back!
23:23A quarter of people feel unsafe in their own manner.
23:29Sometimes when I've walked along near the streets, especially in the evenings, I don't feel so comfortable as I used to do.
23:36Up until recently I've had a very good life.
23:38Been able to go out and do what I wanted when I wanted to do it.
23:41But unfortunately, it's not the case now.
23:43You have to just watch your back all the time.
23:47The rise of e-scooters has made our pavements into silent racetracks.
23:52Anything hurdling down a footpath at 60 kilometres per hour or possibly even more, it's a fatal, it's a weapon.
24:02The wheels of choice for dealers and dopes, they're often illegally and dangerously souped up.
24:08Lots of issues with bikes, this sort of stuff.
24:16Kettering and PC Alex is chasing someone in a ninja mask on an electric bike spannering it through the Grange estate.
24:24P.C. Will and P.C. James are in an unmarked police car and join the chase.
24:33We believe he's potentially got drugs on him.
24:37Put that weapon on, Tenshi a weapon and...
24:40Is he on a bike?
24:42Also closing in a PC Carl and PC Miles.
24:49There he is, there he is. Turn around Carl. Turn around.
24:51Turn around.
25:00Stop him! Stop!
25:02Washington Square, stop on.
25:05With a busted back wheel, the e-bike has been dumped.
25:08I've got him somewhere. Put your hands out.
25:11Put your hands out.
25:14Put your hands out. Get it now!
25:17I'm entertained.
25:18My friends fight, mate.
25:21All right, man.
25:23Only way through Washington Square.
25:25These kind of wheels are a plague on family estates.
25:29They make going for a walk like a ninja warrior living nightmare.
25:34What are you making off?
25:36It's not my bike, mate. I know you don't want to get caught with a bike, mate. It's not my bike, bro.
25:40What have you got on yet?
25:42Nothing, bro.
25:47Why have you got two pairs of joggers on?
25:49Why not?
25:50It's warm, innit?
25:52Wearing more trackies than the Sports Direct warehouse is a particular fashion.
25:56Either you don't know what to wear, or need a quick change-out.
26:00Anyone got an evidence bag?
26:02Evidence bag?
26:03Yeah.
26:04What, you gonna take my money off me?
26:05I'm putting it in there, so I'm taking it out of your pocket.
26:06Because we're still searching you.
26:08Why are you gonna take my money off you?
26:09Well, no-one's taking your money at the minute, are we?
26:11We're putting it in there so I don't lose it.
26:14What are you doing for work?
26:17Nothing really, mate.
26:18So how do you have so much cash on you?
26:20What are you doing for cash on you?
26:25Balaclavas, it seems to be a new thing that a lot of the youth today are wearing.
26:30It scares members of the public.
26:31That's the reports we're getting, that they see these youths wearing the balaclavas on these really fast bikes.
26:36And, yeah, they're terrified of them.
26:37Why didn't you stop?
26:39That's what I need to do.
26:40It's not my bike yet, and you're obviously gonna take that bike off me.
26:42So have you nicked the bike?
26:43No, it's my friend's bike.
26:44It's a £5,000 or something.
26:47What's it for the bike?
26:48I don't think it's legal.
26:50It'll be over the power, won't it?
26:51Do we know what the power output is?
26:52It should have a...
26:53It's popped a tyre, I think.
26:55Yeah.
26:56It should have a power output on there, shouldn't it?
26:58The check confirms that adding a powerful electric motor now means these wheels are classed as a motorbike.
27:07Yeah, these bikes are a nightmare for us because, obviously, if I hadn't popped the tyre, the speed of this, you're never catching it on foot.
27:14Obviously, they can get up alleyways in this. We can't get up the alleyway in the vehicles.
27:17These are becoming more and more popular, especially with drug runners to use because they know that they've got a massive advantage against us.
27:25But it also means this fella needs a driving licence and insurance to ride, which he doesn't have.
27:32Is it a crime to do that, mate?
27:35Is it a crime?
27:36It's a crime to fail to stop the police.
27:37Yeah.
27:39You could come in for that, yeah.
27:40I could come in for that.
27:41Yeah.
27:42It's more I do it.
27:43You know what's the police?
27:44Yeah.
27:45Been arrested?
27:46No, I've been arrested before.
27:47Yeah, of course, bro.
27:48How long are we going?
27:50I don't know.
27:51What did you get arrested for last time?
27:52Drugged you then, actually.
27:54Is that cannabis you even got on your jumper?
27:56Bits of cannabis?
27:57I don't know, mate.
27:58It looks like it, doesn't it?
27:59Look.
28:01You have, yeah.
28:02So you've been somewhere picking up drugs, haven't you, or had drugs on you at some point?
28:06I've smoked cannabis.
28:07No.
28:08When was the last time you had cannabis?
28:10Today.
28:11Today.
28:12We'll get you off to custody, all right?
28:14Get you booked in and we'll get this investigated, all right?
28:17You're going to be standing in the car, yeah?
28:18Yeah.
28:19How old are you?
28:20Sam?
28:21We'll walk you to the car.
28:22Cops have him for riding the motorcycle.
28:26Nothing for riding the modified wheels without a license.
28:29But PC Miles is wondering about more offences.
28:33I mean, he's driving a motor vehicle, isn't he?
28:36So, I mean, I could drug wipe him, couldn't I?
28:39Well, I'm going to drug wipe him.
28:42The roadside drug wipe was introduced in 2015.
28:46If your saliva has drugs, it will react with drug-specific antibodies
28:51and tell everyone what you've been up to.
28:55So, what this is, mate, it's a drug wipe and it will test your system for cocaine or cannabis, all right?
29:00So, what'll happen if I get positive for that?
29:05You'll get arrested for driving over the crime limit of drugs.
29:08So, when I say I want you to stick your tongue out and I'll go through the process, all right?
29:12I'll just warn you, fail to revive me on this wipe will make you liable for arrest, all right?
29:17I'll smoke cannabis today.
29:20Yeah, you can send it to do a drug wipe, yeah?
29:22Sound.
29:23Right, stick your tongue out for us.
29:25Bit wider.
29:32Sound.
29:33Sound.
29:34So, this takes eight minutes to come back, mate, and then we'll have the result then, all right?
29:41Hello?
29:42What's this got to say now?
29:44THE COPPS DOING GOOD HASN'T GONE UNNOTICED
29:51The cops doing good hasn't gone unnoticed.
29:57So you don't have to say anything, but it may help me defence.
29:59Do not mention one question, something which you let around in court.
30:02Anything you do say, you may be getting evidence.
30:03All right, do you understand?
30:05OK.
30:06The cops doing good hasn't gone unnoticed.
30:11Everything's fine, nothing to worry about.
30:12We're just dealing with an incident, but it's all fine.
30:15That's all right, take care.
30:18There's loads of residents out at the minute that have seen what's just happened.
30:21So there will be a bit of a heightened sense of fear through people at the minute
30:25because this is going on.
30:26But once they realise everything that's happened, it'll calm down a little bit.
30:35In parts of the UK, drug trafficking is up by 60% since Covid
30:40and deaths from drugs are up 10%.
30:44I would see a drug deal every day.
30:49You'll see drug dealers in cars.
30:51If you're not seeing a drug deal, you can definitely spot a drug dealer.
30:56I see them actually outside my window where I live and I have actually taken photographs
31:03on my phone and watched an exchange of money and drugs going on.
31:08If the information is correct, we're expecting to find a line holder, the three runners, all in this address when we hit it.
31:17The city drug dealers bringing misery to Northampton's neighbourhoods are still at large.
31:24Their first raid netted one arrest, but PC's Dan and Harry have ID'd a second place they think a different set of dealers are using.
31:32The dealer's tactic is to identify someone with a flat that they can take over for dealing.
31:50This is known as cuckooing.
31:52Normally it'll start off as they'll be a drug user, so they're probably supplying them drugs
31:58and then eventually they'll take over their address.
32:00Often, with threats of violence, if they don't let them use their address, there'll be repercussions.
32:06The plan is to snare the dealers before they head out to supply.
32:11Entry must be sharp, so no drugs are swallowed or destroyed.
32:16Police have a two and a half stone alarm clock that smashes three tons of force onto a door lock.
32:23The early morning wake-up has worked.
32:51Two suspects in the front room are in the bag.
32:54Right.
32:55Can you pull that arm?
32:56You got him, yeah?
32:57Bring that other arm round now.
32:59Right.
33:00Right.
33:01He's detained.
33:02Let's get him.
33:03Detained.
33:05Right, so you sit up.
33:06Right.
33:07So, okay, so we've got a warrant to search, obviously, this address.
33:10Any person inside, okay, so detainful sections won't be searched.
33:13The objects that we're looking for is any drugs, all right?
33:16Have you got anything on here?
33:17Am I going to find anything on here?
33:19Right, stand up.
33:20Yeah.
33:21All right, do you want to search or hold?
33:23Yeah, hold on, mate.
33:24You want to hold, yeah?
33:25Yeah, yeah.
33:26Yeah, that's fine.
33:31Drug dealing in this neighbourhood has only made the area shifty and dangerous, not somewhere
33:37you want your kids growing up.
33:39Going up.
33:43In the back, cops discover someone living on the floor in fear.
33:47How long have they been here?
33:48In the leaks.
33:50So we'll do a systematic search of the address, see if there's any drugs hidden, any phones,
33:56line phones, any deal books, anything like that, any evidence that's going to help us prosecute
34:00these people.
34:01And then we'll speak to the homeowner and safeguard.
34:05They've found a small number of wraps.
34:08Time is 6.50.
34:10You're under a suspicion of possession and intention to apply a class A drug.
34:13But it's enough to cart the first suspect to the station.
34:20Dan has a theory about the second suspect.
34:23I'm fairly confident.
34:25Well, man.
34:26Plug.
34:27There's a wheel for him.
34:28Plugging is when dealers hide their drugs up their backside.
34:33It's a decent theory, especially when officers with a first suspect make a discovery.
34:41What else we found during this trip search?
34:43Quite a significant amount of what seemed to class A drugs.
34:48You've seen his underpants, yeah?
34:49Yeah, that it was.
34:51It's quite a large sort of bundle of suspected class A.
34:55There are 81 wraps of crack and heroin in the pants of the drug dealer.
35:05Right, let's search this place.
35:10Back at the flat, the cops can't find any more drugs.
35:15But they can see the conditions the cocood was being forced to live in.
35:20She's been pushed into the bathroom, sleeping on the gym mat, not being allowed to access her whole property.
35:27So, yes, it's not a great ideal living situation at all.
35:30The suspected dealers don't care about the victim or their effects on people.
35:37It's home is 6.50 a.m.
35:45Suspect 2 is carted off to the station for questioning.
35:49When you get to custody, can you ask for a strip?
35:53Because I'm non-sensual, non-pop-sensual, he's plugged something.
35:57As we come in, he was like that.
35:59So, we're on a strip search and then he potentially might have to go on a poo watch.
36:03If Dan is right, police will only find out when Mother Nature takes its course.
36:09That's what I said about the vehicle.
36:11Coming up.
36:12No, no, you need to listen to me.
36:13This fella thinks he knows the law.
36:16You pulled me over to say there was no insurance on this man.
36:19Yeah, yeah.
36:20There was insurance on this man.
36:21And this dealer better hope cops only find his breakfast up his jacksy.
36:25Our communities are terrorised by crime.
36:35It just worries me, I have to say, how much crime has increased.
36:39People are more inclined to go down the route of a life of crime
36:42because, you know, they can earn more money.
36:45Numpties driving without insurance taxes us all.
36:48We pay more because they don't.
36:51We had an accident quite recently and the person who was caused the accident
36:58hadn't got a driving licence, let alone insurance.
37:02You don't have a tax disc in the front now, so you don't know whose car is registered
37:06and whose car is stolen, whatever is going on.
37:08It's people who are dodging the system that make everybody else have to pay for it.
37:12We might have a non-insurance day.
37:16It's just after six and PC JB and PC Catalin are out in a police wagon
37:22when their automatic number plate recognition system pings.
37:28This one.
37:29The van.
37:30The van
37:43That's your vehicle, mate.
37:44The van.
37:45Okay.
37:46Just come back with no insurance.
37:49No.
37:50Okay.
37:51That's fine.
37:52I promise you it's got insurance.
37:53Yeah.
37:54We'll check all the details, they're fine.
37:56details that's fine i'm not insured for the vehicle i haven't got i haven't got a license
38:01i've got a provisional license okay unbelievable no insurance and driving on a provisional license
38:10uninsured drivers cost the uk economy over two billion pounds a year
38:15and our insurance goes up to pay for it so why are you driving then because basically
38:21to moral to the story is i have this van parked up as you can see it's been parked
38:24up for quite a while yeah okay just fetching it around here to pack it back up so he claims he's
38:29just moving the van around the corner because it has been sat somewhere unused there's nothing
38:37sure to hear okay so you you'll be prosecuting here for the offences of driving motor vehicle
38:43on public road okay without uh without the license and also you're driving with not insured without
38:50insurance but i did tell you yeah when you pulled me over that the vehicle was insured so you don't
38:54have to say anything but you may have my defense if you do that mention now something which you
38:58later rely on court and it will say maybe giving evidence okay can i please get someone to collect
39:02my van for me please who's gonna collect it the person who's insured for it i'll walk away the
39:07problem is i have reason to believe that you'll be driving with again no insurance and no license
39:12okay so that's why i'm taking the van this is what i'm saying to you someone can come and take the van yeah
39:16and they won't give it back to me okay please i'm asking you nicely i can't i can't do it mate
39:21then you're still missing please can i have my license please yeah that's fine the decision is final
39:25cue fireworks before you go i'm trying to be nice yeah i know nice with you you talk lies from the
39:31beginning you're on the road okay when i go to court i'm going to be honest with you yeah i want you to
39:35come to court with me of course you pulled me over to say that there was no insurance on this van yeah
39:39yeah there was insurance on this one but i believe that you're driving and no insurance
39:43nothing okay you wasn't asking me the question you said the vehicle first of all that's right
39:47you said about the vehicle first of all okay no no you need to listen to me okay you said first of

39:58vehicle i looked at you and told you that this vehicle was insured okay and you told me no on
40:02you don't have insurance so you put me over for okay so i don't have to answer to that i know you don't

41:13five nine one one three two that's the telephone number you need to call so okay okay
41:19we gave him the information that he needed uh in order to collect his vehicle but at the end of the day
41:27you should be driving around on professional license
41:32last year the number of drug seizures by police increased by 13 from the year before
41:39at the uk borders powdered cocaine seizures increased by three quarters
41:46there are dealings that go on fairly openly and it does have a really detrimental effect on
41:52the lives of those involved my generation when i was coming out of school you know drugs were around
41:57but it was still very taboo and it was it was the the few that that use drugs but nowadays um it is
42:06everywhere earlier cops smashed the door in and arrested two suspects
