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.
03:01You are hiding.
03:02You are hiding.
03:03I don't think it's going to be a good thing.
03:04You are hiding.
03:05This is my heaven.
03:06As I have been.
03:07Schaff and Dan have clots a shifty-looking teenager out and about.
03:10Yeah, let's have a chat make.
03:12Where's he going?
03:23He's, he's legged it.
03:26Dad, just check the garden space.
03:29The coppers might be in civvies, but this bad boy can spot the lure a mile off, and
03:35he's legged it.
03:36Is he around that way?
03:37Yeah, the lady said he just ran that way.
03:42He's going to have something on here.
03:43I reckon he's probably gone.
03:44He's going to be able to get in, isn't he?
03:47After combing the streets, Shaf goes off-road.
03:52We've had a young IC1 lad run away from us.
03:55They spot him, high-tailing it out of the alley.
03:58What are you doing?
04:00What are you doing?
04:02What are you doing?
04:03What are you doing?
04:04They spot him, high-tailing it out of the alley.
04:07All black tracksuit.
04:08Dan keeps the control room updated.
04:10He's on Billion Road.
04:22Oi!
04:23Stop!
04:24Stop!
04:25Get out!
04:26Get out!
04:27Stay where you are, police!
04:28You get sprayed!
04:32Stay where you are!
04:33Stay where you are, give me your hand.
04:34Send me your hand.
04:36I'm nothing, man.
04:37Keep your hands there.
04:38What are you running for, then?
04:40Dan gives this bad lad a quick once-over, checking for drugs and weapons.
04:44Dan Noon from Campbell Square Police Station.
04:46Grounds for the search.
04:47Don't run.
04:48Why are you running?
04:49We've seen you, up the right there.
04:51You've ran away from us.
04:52You have to send him, yeah?
04:53You've ran away from us.
04:54We've just seen you there and you've run away, okay?
04:56So I suspect you've got an article on you.
04:58Such as a bladed article.
05:00Okay?
05:01Keep working before, bro.
05:03Trying to find out, bro.
05:05Because if there's something sharp on you...
05:07Mate, if it was sharp, it's not good, isn't it?
05:10It's a blank, isn't it?
05:11It's a blank, it's a blank.
05:12It's a blank, isn't it?
05:13It's a blank, it's a blank.
05:14It's a blank.
05:15It's not real.
05:17In his man bag, something very naughty indeed.
05:20Oh, look.
05:21Right, it's very in time.
05:23You're under arrest.
05:24Suspicion of possession of an imitation firearm in a public place, okay?
05:27You don't have to say anything, ma'am, defense.
05:29If you don't mention one question, something which you may lay around in court.
05:31Anything you do say may be given evidence, okay?
05:33Last year, people caught with imitation guns rose by 25%.
05:37We're upon the effective investigation.
05:39It explains why he went to all Usain Bolt.
05:42But that isn't all he's hiding.
05:44What's in it?
05:46Flip, flip, mate.
05:49Right, you're also under arrest possession of a bladed article on a public place, okay?
05:53And the caution still applies.
05:57I want bail, though.
05:58You want bail?
05:59Yeah.
06:00This chap was running.
06:01He's got a bladed article on him.
06:03And he's got a imitation firearms.
06:06How old are you?
06:07No way.
06:08Okay, he's about 15 or 16.
06:10So...
06:11Nowadays, with the young lads, it's part of their clothing now.
06:17We'll have to make a firearm safe.
06:18We'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 he threatened them with that, they're going to think that it's a real gun.
07:08The shooter's not deadly, yet.
07:11But 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.
07:27And it was never this bad, because everyone's carrying a weapon.
07:32It's almost like a fashion to carry a weapon.
07:34The teenage outlaw is not connected to the recent stabbing.
07:39But that's two weapons off our streets.
07:45Coming up, it's closing time.
07:47You're shouting and swearing in the street, and you're drunk.
07:49For one man's happy hour.
07:54I've had enough.
07:56And drug dealers watch your back.
07:59Knock, knock, it's the cops.
08:01Get down on the floor!
08:03We're asking on your back!
08:04Get down on the floor!
08:05We're asking on your back!
08:06Get down on the floor!
08:07Get down on the floor!
08:08Get down on the floor!
08:09Get down on the floor!
08:10I feel like the crime's increasing daily.
08:12The demand for us is getting higher and higher, and the criminality's increasing.
08:17If I was Prime Minister, I'd have far more police on the streets.
08:18Give them far more powers.
08:19Because sometimes they have a lot of crime.
08:20There's a lot of crime.
08:21There's a lot of crime.
08:22There's drugs.
08:23There's anti-social behaviour with drinking.
08:24And it makes people very, very frightened in the area.
08:26I'm very afraid to come out.
08:28Get down on the floor!
08:29Get down on the floor!
08:30Get down!
08:31Get down on the floor!
08:32I feel like the crime's increasing daily.
08:35The 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
08:48sometimes they haven't got the power to deal with the problem.
08:53That's what I'll do
08:57The boovery in Northampton is one naughty estate
09:01The locals are fuming because gangs dealers and crims on the run have made this place home
09:09But crime needs to watch its back because the cops are in town and they mean business
09:15I think he's wanted in another force
09:17Of course
09:18Midweek and PC's Dan and Rebecca are out on the hunt and it's game on with no polite introductions
09:38Are you serious?
09:39Yeah, he's saying he's just left Nick, but he's no actor and Dan isn't dishing out awards today
09:47All right, man. Do you understand what I'm saying to you?
09:49We'll get you in the car. We'll get you in the car. We'll just have a double check, all right?
09:52Yeah, but listen, I was coming out of prison yesterday
09:54All right, I'm not sure when you've been wanted from. It might be that it's been put on today or something
09:57Well, I ain't done nothing today
09:59I'm ordering food, lad
10:00You'd be sure you're showing wanted on out on PNC
10:03Let's get you to our car
10:04I ain't gonna go to the car. Well, disgusting
10:05Yeah, well, you don't have to grab a hold of me then
10:06I know
10:07Oi, robot cop. Leave gold, darling
10:09Okay
10:10Why is me?
10:11Idiot
10:12So why did you not get me for you? Can't you just keep arresting me?
10:14Yeah?
10:15Yeah, excuse me, it ain't about that, yeah? I've come out of prison yesterday. I'm on license
10:19Bring up my probation officer
10:21All right
10:22Yeah? Don't get-
10:23Yo, darling, listen, I'm not getting an old car
10:25And you, mate, get that camera away from me and knelt
10:27Pay me, Bob, yeah? I promise you I'll kick you in the balls, lad
10:31Calm down
10:32Hang on, I ain't done for a long
10:33Listen, I get you frustrated, okay? But as I said, you're showing us being wanted on PNC
10:38Hang on, I've got out of prison yesterday. Do you understand that, lad?
10:40Why are you not communicating with us?
10:41Yeah, I understand what- I understand what you're saying
10:43Yeah, can you-
10:44Go on, please throw this out for me
10:46I'm really, um-
10:47Okay
10:48My supervisor is-
10:50Yeah, I've got food there as well, yeah?
10:51Okay, my-
10:52Can you get my-
10:53No, can-
10:54Can you just stop talking one moment so I can explain to you what's going on, okay?
10:57Yeah, but darling, come on, mate
10:58Right, don't call me darling
10:59Well, sorry, officer
11:00I'm no different to any other officer just because I'm female, okay?
11:03I never said that
11:04Okay, but would you call him darling?
11:06No-
11:07No, exactly, right
11:08The fella just won't pipe down
11:10PC shafts there as backup
11:13So from what I can see, it got put onto the National Police computer
11:17Yes, yeah, I'm-
11:18No, no, this-
11:19Yeah, that's what I'm trying to tell you
11:20So you're still gonna lock me up?
11:22Yes, you are under arrest
11:23Excuse me, can you tell me what I'm resting for?
11:24Right
11:25I'll do that, mate
11:26Yeah, cuz you-
11:27Mate, I knew that you were-
11:28You were hopping around for a reason
11:29You know what sausage you are, mate
11:31You're not arresting me yourself?
11:33You're under arresting me, because you never had the balls, is it?
11:34Sausage?
11:35Yeah, go on
11:36Yeah, go on
11:37You never had the balls in wrestling, is it?
11:38Right, get-
11:39But clearly, clearly, you got a woman to do with your little sausage
11:41Yeah, you know you're getting knocked out, you little clown
11:42Oh, mate
11:43Skip forward a bit for us, on the edge of the seat
11:44That's it
11:45Hurry up, man
11:46Hurry up
11:47That's it
11:48Look, we'll get it all sorted, alright?
11:49Go on.
11:50Go on.
11:51No, you're under arrest, mate.
11:52Yes, mate.
11:53Obviously.
11:54Yeah.
11:55You couldn't arrest me because you've never had the balls, is it?
11:57Sausage.
11:58Yeah, go on.
11:59You've never had the balls arrest me, did you?
12:01But clearly, you've got a woman to do with your little sausage.
12:03You know you're getting knocked out, you little clown.
12:06Skip forward a bit for us on the edge of the seat.
12:09Hurry up, man.
12:10That's it.
12:11We'll get it all sorted, all right?
12:12It's going to happen.
12:13I knew I shouldn't have shown my face.
12:14I knew it.
12:19There's numbers that show most people reckon drugs are rampant in their neck of the woods.
12:26Drugs are rife.
12:28We had it in our own block.
12:30But 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.
12:49There's potentially lots of drugs there, weapons.
12:52They all wear body armor as well.
12:54Across 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 in Northampton's Class A drugs market.
13:07Drugs at the moment are, in my personal opinion, 90% at least of the problem with all crime.
13:13You can almost trace back most crime to drugs.
13:18It's a problem everywhere.
13:20They don't want a turf war on their patch.
13:23And they don't want more drugs flooding the streets.
13:26So they swiftly gather a team to smash the gang.
13:33It's town centre-ish, I suppose.
13:36There's a lot of drug users from that area.
13:39The property we're going to is a house of multiple occupancy.
13:45Our boys have come in force.
13:48They want to catch the dealers cold and make sure any fight back is put to bed sharpish.
13:54The fast doorknock goat catches one fella totally blind.
14:13And I'm not sure that this would have been a lie.
14:15Well, I'm a little bit worried about it.
14:17I'm not just waiting for them.
14:18But, at the moment, you're just waiting for a section 23 search, alright?
14:21Do you not normally?
14:23Do you not normally?
14:24I know where you are, yeah.
14:25You got up the skooch from yesterday, bro?
14:26Bring your legs up.
14:27That's it, just stay there for me.
14:34Well, you going there, yeah?
14:36Yeah, you can do.
14:38Alright, alright, at the moment,
14:39you're just waiting for a section 23 missionary drugs out of search, OK?
14:42He's only been out of custody a matter of hours,
14:46but he appears to already be bagged up with green.
15:06Adamant he has nothing else to hide.
15:08Cops start to look through all the nooks and crannies in the flat.
15:24Is it just you in here?
15:26Yeah.
15:27Okay.
15:28Is it your place?
15:30I'm staying here in it with my mate as well,
15:33but I don't know where my mate is because he ain't come back.
15:35Okay.
15:36I've just been chilling.
15:38I don't know where all this talk.
15:40But we receive information all the time.
15:42Some of it's true.
15:43Some of it's not true.
15:44Okay.
15:45Obviously, we found you with...
15:46With weed, yeah.
15:47With a bit of a little weed on you.
15:49Some weed over there.
15:50I smoke weed like...
15:51What about?
15:52Over there by my children.
15:54Okay.
15:55And this is yours as well, yeah?
15:56This is yours?
15:57Yeah.
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 you'll stay to the yours, yeah?
16:11All my personal use.
16:12So...
16:13But the flat finally gives up a bigger secret and some heavier drugs.
16:17What's the wrapper, Class A?
16:18Uncut.
16:19It's not been cut.
16:20There's about four or five relatively big lumps of what I think is crack cocaine.
16:32I don't know what that stuff happened.
16:35Um, this is my opening time.
16:36It's 14.25.
16:37I'm gonna arrest you.
16:38Um, it's in possession.
16:39Of...
16:40It's in possession of...
16:41It's in possession of...
16:42It's in possession of...
16:43It's in possession of...
16:44It's in possession of...
16:45It's in possession of...
16:46They've netted one crim, but they wanted a gang and all its drugs.
16:53Now they've raided one gaff.
16:55Cops have shown their hand.
16:57They need to act sharpish to catch the other dealers before they do a who-deed.
17:02People hate a drunk, especially one who milks it in public.
17:10I live near a little park, so, um, 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 and have no regard,
17:24let's leave all the cans everywhere, um, while they're playing music, screaming, shouting at each other.
17:29each other it does make you feel quite uncomfortable I used to love a drink but
17:34I never drank on the streets I drink at home or in the correct place
17:43okay it's afternoon in Kettering the two Sam's PC Donald and Orton are heading
17:50into town one bloke clearly can't handle his drink and he's being a right pain in
18:00public right don't get rid of the beer mate don't get rid of the beer yeah why are

18:40Gold Street you've got a male in grey shorts topless you might just go walk in
18:44the road don't walk in the road you'll get run over thank you
18:53tippling in public isn't illegal but acting like a numpty and refusing to move on

19:12that felt look right you need to stop shouting and go home okay good lad off you go go home go home go home go home honestly it's like a herd of cats no copper wants to arrest idiots for minor offences
19:33the criminal justice system is stretch far enough so our two street cops encourage the
19:39man to walk his own way home
19:43try and give it a bit of leeway and we try and work with them so it's better just to try and get
19:47him away then we can just leave him on his on his merry way hopefully and get home safely
19:51but at some point he crosses that line that's when he has to be dealt with robustly so they would take
19:56no messing around really so it's a tough it's a tough line we have to have to stay with
20:01oh right okay we need to take him home all right you need to go home mate

21:03the pair give the drunk one last chance but inevitably he knows better

26:24balaclavas
26:25balaclavas seems to be a new thing
26:27um
26:28that a lot of the youth today are wearing
26:29um
26:30it scares members of the public
26:31um
26:32that's the reports we're getting
26:33that they see these youths wearing the balaclavas on these really fast bikes
26:36and yeah
26:37they're terrified of them
26:38what's it for the bike
26:49i 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
26:53he's popped a tyre i think
26:55yeah
26:56should have a power output on there shouldn't it
26:58the check confirms that adding a powerful electric motor
27:01now means these wheels are classed as a motorbike
27:05yeah these bikes are a nightmare for us because
27:09obviously if i hadn't popped the tyre
27:11the speed of this you're never catching it on foot
27:13um
27:14obviously they can get up alleyways in this
27:15we can't get up the alleyway in the vehicles
27:17um
27:18these are becoming more and more popular
27:19especially with drug runners to use
27:21because they know that they've got a massive advantage
27:23um
27:24against us
27:25but it also means this fella needs a driving licence and insurance to ride
27:30which he doesn't have
27:32is it a crime to do that by
27:35is it a crime
27:36it's a crime to fail to stop the police
27:37yeah
27:38you can come in for that yeah

28:34i mean he's driving a motor vehicle now so i mean i could drug wipe them couldn't i
28:38well i'm gonna drug wipe them
28:41the roadside drug wipe was introduced in 2015 if your saliva has drugs it will react with drug specific antibodies and tell everyone what you've been up to

29:22sound
29:23right
29:24stick your tongue out for us
29:25bit wider
29:33sound
29:34so this takes eight minutes to come back mate
29:36and then we'll have the result then all right
29:41hello
29:42what's this got to say now
29:44the cops doing good hasn't gone unnoticed
29:59everything's fine nothing to worry about we're just dealing with an incident but it's all fine
30:05that's all right take care
30:06there's loads of residents out at the minute that have seen what's just happened so there will be a bit of a heightened sense of fear through people at the minute because this is going on but once they realise everything that's happened it will calm down a little bit
30:32in parts of the uk drug trafficking is up by 60 percent since covid and deaths from drugs are up 10 percent
30:45i would see a drug deal every day you'll see drug dealers in cars if you're not seeing a drug deal you're you can definitely spot a drug dealer
30:54i see them actually outside my window where i live and i have actually taken photographs on my phone and watched an exchange of money and drugs going on
31:09if the information is correct we're expecting to find a line holder the three runners all in this address when we hit it
31:18the city drug dealers bringing misery to northampton's neighbourhoods are still at large
31:24their first raid netted one arrest
31:27but pc's dan and harry have id the second place they think a different set of dealers are using
31:32that's up in this address here this wooden front door for parking we'll just sit outside there's nowhere to hide
31:42all the runners are carrying knives got body armor on
31:45the dealer's tactic is to identify someone with a flat that they can take over for dealing
31:51this is known as cuckooing
31:53normally it will start off as they'll be a drug user so they're probably supplying them drugs
31:59and then eventually they'll take over their address
32:02and often with threats of violence that if they don't let them use their address there will be repercussions
32:08the plan is to snare the dealers before they head out to supply
32:13entry must be sharp so no drugs are swallowed or destroyed
32:18police have a two and a half stone alarm clock that smashes three tons of force onto a door lock
32:24a door lock
32:30BLUE! SHOOT ME YOUR HANDS! SHOOT ME YOUR HANDS! SHOOT ME YOUR HANDS! SHOOT ME YOUR HANDS!
32:35SHOOT ME YOUR HANDS! GET THE SLOW!
32:37HELP ME ON YOUR BACK! HELP ME ON YOUR BACK!
32:39HELP ME ON YOUR BACK!
32:41STAY WHERE YOU ARE GOING FOR ME, ALL RIGHT
32:43alright
32:45HE'S OFF TO IT TASER!
32:49BLUE!
32:50The early morning wake-up has worked.
32:52Two suspects in the front room are in the bag.
32:55All right, you pull that arm.
32:56You got him, yeah?
32:57All right, bring that other arm round now.
33:00All right.
33:02He's detained.
33:02Let's get him.
33:03Detained.
33:05All right, so you sit up.
33:06All right, so, OK, so we've got a warrant to search,
33:09obviously, this address, any person inside.
33:11OK, so detainful section, you want me to search.
33:14The objects that we're looking for is any drugs, all right?
33:17Have you got anything on you?
33:18Am I going to find anything on you?
33:20All right, stand up.
33:23All right, do you want to search or hold?
33:24Yeah, hold on, mate.
33:25You want to hold, yeah?
33:26Yeah.
33:27Yeah, that's fine.
33:28It's not all right, lad.
33:30Here you go.
33:31I just got something right there.
33:32Drug dealing in this neighbourhood has only made the area
33:35shifty and dangerous, not somewhere you want your kids
33:39growing up.
33:40Look here, man, look.
33:43In the back, cops discover someone living on the floor
33:47in fear.
33:48How long have they been here?
33:50In the leaks.
33:52So we do a systematic search of the address,
33:54see if there's any drugs hidden, any phones,
33:57line phones, any deal books, anything like that,
34:00any evidence that's going to help us prosecute these people.
34:02And then we'll speak to the homeowner and safeguard.
34:06They've found a small number of wraps.
34:08Time is 6.50.
34:11You're under a suspicion of possession and intention to apply
34:13a class A drug.
34:14But it's enough to cart the first suspect to the station.
34:21Dan has a theory about the second suspect.
34:24Plugging is when dealers hide their drugs up their backside.
34:36It's a decent theory, especially when officers with the first suspect
34:40make a discovery.
34:42There are 81 wraps of crack and heroin in the pants of the drug dealer.
35:01Back at the flat, the cops can't find any more drugs.
35:14But they can see the conditions the cocood was being forced to live in.
35:20She's been pushed into the bathroom room, sleeping on the gym mat,
35:25not being allowed to access the whole property.
35:27So, yes, it's not a great ideal living situation at all.
35:32The suspected dealers don't care about the victim
35:35or their effects on people.
35:37It's home is 6.50 am.
35:41OK, no appointment to do this for possession of intention to apply a class A.
35:45Suspect two is carted off to the station for questioning.
35:49When you get to custody, can you ask for a strip?
35:53Because I'm not so sure, not my father's always plugged something.
35:57As we come in, he was like that.
35:59So we're on a strip search and then he potentially
36:02might have to go on a poo watch.
36:03If Dan is right, police will only find out
36:07when Mother Nature takes its course.
36:10That's fine.
36:11Coming up.
36:12No, no, you need to listen to me.
36:14This fella thinks he knows the law.
36:16You pulled me over to see that there was no insurance.
36:19Yeah, there was insurance on this fella.
36:21And this dealer better hope cops only find his breakfast up his Jaxi.
36:33Our communities are terrorised by crime.
36:36It just worries me, I have to say, how much crime has increased.
36:40People are more inclined to go down the route of a life of crime
36:43because, you know, they can earn more money.
36:46Numpties driving without insurance taxes us all.
36:49We pay more because they don't.
36:51We had an accident quite recently and the person who was caused the accident
36:59hadn'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
37:07and whose car is done, whatever is going on.
37:09It's people who are dodging the system that make everybody else have to pay for it.
37:13We might have a non-insurance, didn't we?
37:17It's just after six and PC JB and PC Catalin are out in a police wagon
37:23when their automatic number plate recognition system pings.
37:27Which one?
37:30The van.
37:43That's your vehicle, mate.
37:45That's your van.
37:46Oh, OK.
37:47Like, you know, well...
37:48OK, it's come...
37:49No.
37:50Yeah, no, it's come back, no insurance.
37:51It's got insurance on it.
37:52OK.
37:53That's fine.
37:54I promise you it's got insurance.
37:55I can do...
37:56We'll check...
37:57We'll check all the details.
37:58That's fine.
37:59I'm not insured for the vehicle.
38:00I haven't got...
38:01I haven't got a licence.
38:02I've got a provisional licence.
38:03OK.
38:04Unbelievable.
38:05No insurance and driving on a provisional licence.
38:10Uninsured drivers cost the UK economy over £2 billion a year
38:15and our insurance goes up to pay for it.
38:18So, why are you driving, then?
38:20Because, basically, the moral to the story is I have this van parked up.
38:23As you can see, it's been parked up for quite a while, yeah?
38:25OK.
38:26And I'm just fetching it round here to park it back up.
38:28So, he claims he's just moving the van around the corner
38:32because it has been sat somewhere unused.
38:36It's not insured to him.
38:37OK.
38:38So, you'll be prosecuted here for the offences of driving motor vehicle on public road.
38:43It's no problem.
38:44OK.
38:45Without...
38:46Without a licence.
38:47And also, you're driving with not insured... without insurance.
38:50Well, I did tell you, yeah, when you pulled me over that this vehicle was insured.
38:53OK.
38:54So, you don't have to say anything.
38:55Yeah.
38:56But you may have my defence.
38:57If you do not mention now something which you later rely on court,
38:59Eddie will say maybe give him evidence, OK?
39:01Can I please get someone to collect my van for me, please?
39:03Who's going to collect it?
39:05The person who's insured for it.
39:06I'll walk away.
39:07The problem is, I have reason to believe that you'll be driving with, again, no insurance
39:11and no licence, OK?
39:12So, that's why I'm taking the van.
39:13This is what I'm saying to you.
39:14Someone can come and take the van, yeah?
39:16And they won't give it back to me.
39:17OK.
39:18Please, I'm asking you nicely.
39:19I can't...
39:20I can't do it, mate.
39:21He's still missing.
39:22Can I go then, please?
39:23Can I have my licence to it, please?
39:24Yeah, that's fine.
39:25The decision is final.
39:26Cue fireworks.
39:27Before you go.
39:28I'm trying to be nice with you.
39:29Yeah, I know.
39:30I know.
39:31You talk lies from the beginning.
39:32You're on the road.
39:33OK.
39:34To be honest with you, I want you to come to court with me.
39:36Of course, yeah.
39:37You put me over to say that there was no insurance on this van.
39:39Yeah, yeah.
39:40There was insurance on this van.
39:41OK.
39:42But I believe that you're still driving and not insurance.
39:43No, no, you believe nothing.
39:44You know, you wasn't asking me the question.
39:45That's fine.
39:46You said the vehicle first of all.
39:47That's fine.
39:48You said about the vehicle first of all.
39:49No, no, you need to listen to me.
39:50OK.
39:51You said first of all, yeah, let me speak.
39:52That's fine.
39:53You got out of the vehicle.
39:54That's fine.
39:55I want to speak first.
39:56That's fine.
39:57You put me over saying that there was no insurance on this vehicle.
39:59Yeah.
40:00You told you that this vehicle was insured.
40:01OK.
40:02And you told me you don't have insurance.
40:03So you put me over for...
40:04OK.
40:05So I don't have to answer to that.
40:06I'm being honest with you.
40:07I know you don't have to answer it.
40:08That's fine.
40:09But you're under hope.
40:10Yeah, that's fine.
40:11Now you're being very awkward with me.
40:12Can I have some paperwork so I can go for you?
40:13Yeah, that's why I'm trying to kind of reason with you.
40:16Yeah.
40:17No problem at all.
40:22I'm not a drug addict, man.
40:23I don't do anything wrong, yeah?
40:24I go out there and I own a slip and I...
40:26We're not here to...
40:27We're here to discriminate.
40:28We're just...
40:29You're not being fair with me, mate.
40:30You're not being fair with me.
40:31Why don't you go after the drug dealers in this town?
40:33Are you able to get recovery role in relation to this transit van?
40:38JB calls a truck to take the vehicle to the yard.
40:42The release fee will be hundreds.
40:45Officer, I am recording you for my purposes only.
40:47That's fine.
40:48Yeah, that's fine.
40:49Right.
40:50Feel free.
40:51You're taking my van off me?
40:52Yes.
40:53I'm trying to explain to you where you go to.
40:54But I can't read them right.
40:55Any details down for you?
40:56Okay.
40:57Give me a piece of paper with a red john and a number.
41:00Incident number.
41:01That's the incident number.
41:02That says incident number.
41:034908.
41:04Say where to go and get it from.
41:05The driver is still up for a row.
41:07Right, sir.
41:08That is the postcode for CM3.
41:10Yep.
41:11N5 5DL.
41:12Yep.
41:13591132.
41:14That's the telephone number.
41:15You need to call, sir.
41:16Okay.
41:17Okay.
41:18Good to go, my friend.
41:20We gave him the information that he needed in order to collect his vehicle.
41:26But at the end of the day, he should be driving around on a 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.
41:45There are dealings that go on fairly openly.
41:50And it does have a really detrimental effect on the lives of those involved.
41:54My generation, when I was coming out of school, you know, drugs were around.
41:57But it was still very taboo.
41:59And it was the few that used drugs.
42:03But nowadays, it is everywhere.
42:06Earlier, cops smashed the door in and arrested two suspects.
42:16They now have one of the men under watch because they suspect him of plugging or hiding drugs
42:22up his backside.
42:24On a strip search, and then he potentially mask on a poo watch.
