00:23It's a crash, crash.
00:25You got any other injury other than your head?
00:27With some of the UK's most dangerous roads.
00:30Oh, no one's been killed out of this. I don't know.
00:33Do you know how fast we're going?
00:35It's scary when stuff like this happens.
00:37In life and death situations...
00:39Get on the ground, you'll be chasing!
00:41We've got runners.
00:43Face down.
00:46Yes, yes, successful steam.
00:49Around every corner...
00:51Great acting, mate.
00:54There's a new challenge...
00:56For the traffic cops.
00:57They're buying a vehicle now!
01:01I'm going home.
01:03Stop grabbing me like that!
01:07It's crash, crash, crash!

01:18Sir, D-Camp, D-Camp.
01:19Targeting travelling criminals.
01:21Balaclava.
01:22High-resolution TVs.
01:23Brilliant.
01:24Yeah.
01:25Protecting lives.
01:26Listen, mate, I don't want you going down and getting knocked over.
01:28Keep me alive!
01:29And keeping the highways moving.
01:30How on earth has that ended up there?
01:31All mobile units be aware.
01:32This vehicle is known for several thefts from lorries in the area on different counties as well as ourselves.
01:37Derbyshire's fast roads cut through the middle of the country.
01:38Local units be aware.
01:39This vehicle is known to be a spotter involved in other thefts in vehicles up and around the county.
01:47Lester has shouted his vehicles, doing an offence on them, and he's going up the motorway.
01:48For PC Mark White and the traffic cops, it means travelling criminals are often on their patch.
01:49So, there has been a theft.
01:50A theft.
01:51A theft.
01:52Derbyshire's fast roads, doing an offence on them, and he's going up the motorway.
01:59For PC Mark White and the traffic cops, it means travelling criminals are often on their patch.
02:13often on their patch so there has been a theft from a truck at the services earlier on this
02:22evening i think leicestershire have also had a similar offense taking place on them and what
02:28has happened is that vehicle has hit further down in nottingham nottingham are plotting up and
02:34looking for it and they've just requested our assistance so we're currently trying to look for
02:38it they sprint a box van um is what we're looking for um but it's on clone plates
02:47and they go nuts
02:53with nottinghamshire officers tailing the suspects mark falls in behind they believe the um
03:07cloned vehicles just ahead of us
03:10we're just going to wait to see how many
03:17knots and derbyshire units we've got um available
03:22it's got no rear vrm so i think they're just trying to get an unmarked car
03:31to um go ahead of it see if it is the cloned vehicle from the front plate
03:38six units from two police forces close in on the suspect van
03:44near side indication info services
03:48continue towards the petrol station
03:56straight through straight through back onto the m1

04:13yeah the vehicle is going to stop now uh it's in lane one five six
04:20miles an hour and throwing something out the window
04:24across the lane two for one vehicle in john and lane three

05:17officers try to box in the suspect van using a truck just ahead of it
05:22vehicle remains lane one behind the hgv

05:41no danger to any of the road users dra remains lower this time
05:46yes
05:48made contact with that
05:50abandoning the van in the middle of the motorway two men flee on foot
06:04three one
06:17sir
06:18decamp decamp
06:19decamp
06:20have i got empath
06:21straight up straight up
06:24dog
06:25stay still
06:26it's gone straight up mate straight up straight up
06:28the dog is loose
06:29you might hear a lot of screaming and a very good knots police dog doing its job
06:42not going to have a lot of the road
06:43on the road
06:44and we're not going to have a lot of them
06:45on the road
06:46and we're going to have a lot of them on the road
06:47Have they got one? I think they've got one.
06:57One of the suspects is captured.
07:00Very quickly, could you arrange transport to meet Knott's?
07:03We'll come to the top of the exit.
07:05But a second man is still on the run.
07:08Yeah, Knott's drone is up.
07:09It's not moving, it looks like it could potentially be in bushes.
07:20When you said they've thrown something, that was a bottle,
07:23and then the second thing that came out was a vape.
07:26Ah, that's really weird.
07:28I must admit, I did think it was a package.
07:34That is a cloned vehicle that's been involved in two thefts.
07:38One on Leicester, one ourselves earlier.
07:40The next one's ran further up the M1, about 30-40 metres,
07:43and gone up the banking, probably into the housing state.
07:47Have you seen the TVs in the back of it?
07:49That's me.
07:50No, no, that's you.
07:52A load of high-resolution TVs.
07:56Brilliant.
07:57Yeah.
07:57Brilliant.
07:59So, what's happening now is vehicle has been removed off the motorway for recovery.
08:04That'll be recovered, and then in the morning,
08:06we'll be able to go and have a look at all the TVs,
08:08make sure the other ones are on the stolen.
08:12One suspect's been arrested.
08:15He's on his way into custody.
08:17And then, hopefully, we'll be able to reopen the motorway soon,
08:20as soon as the dog handler comes back from his track through the field.
08:24A second suspect is still being hunted by police.
08:28Very happy with the result.
08:29No damage to any police vehicles, other than the knots one.
08:32One offended, all property recovered.
08:35One cloned vehicle back off the road again,
08:36which then will eventually turn out to be stolen.
08:39So, yeah, for us, it's quite a good day.
08:43Coming up...
08:44Carl, watch out, watch out.
08:45...a pedestrian in a live lane on a fast road.
08:48Calm down.
08:48Rush out in my face.
08:50And travelling criminals under arrest.
08:56You're the one who's in Cuffs going to custody, mate.
08:58In a stolen van.
09:13NHO or hospital area units.
09:15A suspect truck using false plates
09:18is heading south into Derbyshire.
09:22The plan today is just to get it on its way down.
09:24We've got a good idea when it's going to turn up.
09:27And it's disruption for them.
09:29PC Jim Payne targets organised gangs
09:31who use fast roads to commit crime.
09:35This is pretty much their full-time job.
09:38And they'll be out night after night,
09:39up and down the motorway, hitting targets,
09:42whether it be service stations, industrial estates.
09:45And if you're most going to be a Victor 1,
09:47you've got two units holding on the roundabout.
09:52Road crime officer Nick Lovett
09:54is also looking for the suspect van.
09:57In Derbyshire, we've got quite a few major arterial routes.
10:01We've got the A38, the A50.
10:02Obviously, the M1 corridor that runs through.
10:05A lot of the vehicles involved in the criminality
10:07do use the M1, so we'll travel through our county.
10:11We've seen a lot of looking at stopping it
10:16on its southbound route.
10:19Obviously, the downside to that is
10:20we're fairly confident that it's going to end up being empty.
10:24And if we wait, you know, until it comes back north,
10:27we don't know when it's going to come back.
10:28We may be busy with something else,
10:30or we may totally miss it.
10:32It may have swapped its place by then.
10:33PC John Terry is ahead and tailing the suspects.
10:51They're not going to be able to fill that particular van up tonight
10:53for stolen property,
10:55so somebody somewhere isn't going to get the load stolen
10:58or the premises burglary.
11:02Given the size of the vehicle,
11:04I have concerns.
11:05I'd like to consider impasse.
11:08OK, we're waiting two or four.
11:10Traffic's light.
11:11The filter's good.
11:13I presume it will be aware of my presence
11:14because I'll start on the hard shoulder.
11:163-7, just behind you, John.
11:18We're on a fast road on a network.
11:20It's dark.
11:21It's part of our training.
11:22You have to formulate a plan.
11:23How are you going to stop something safely?
11:24So it was all about positioning people where we needed them.
11:30It's a larger vehicle than our vehicles.
11:34And obviously it can cause a lot of damage
11:36trying to break out of any sort of log that we try and put on.
11:39So we're just trying to devise what we're going to do,
11:42what sort of plan,
11:43whether we can get a helicopter or whatever.
11:45JT, give us the call out, mate,
11:46when you are adjacent with the onslaid.
11:52Yes, yes.
11:52The biggest dilemma is do we stop it on its way
11:56and prevent crime,
11:57which is ultimately what we are here for,
12:00or do we allow it to travel through us
12:02and report it to neighbouring forces
12:04for them to stop it whilst it's in the act?
12:07Vehicle still remains lane one.
12:10But at the end of the day,
12:11prevention of crime is the main key feature for us.
12:16Max lane one, there's speed to 70,
12:18traffic's still light.
12:20John, I'll go past, have a look at the driver,
12:26and then I'll probably just come off
12:27and rejoin behind so you don't get two suspicious.
12:30Yes, yes.
12:32Jim's driving an unmarked police car.
12:35What I could see,
12:36the driver appeared that he was wearing maybe a blue T-shirt
12:40with a yellow high-vis.
12:44Vehicle is now adjacent to the entry slip.
12:47Move to lane two,
12:48speed 70.
12:50As John tails the suspect van.
12:53So we've just committed onto the carriageway.
12:56Nick's racing to catch up.
12:58We're with you, JT.
13:12Yes, yes.
13:16Protecting the road through.
13:20Stand by.
13:20These people travelling in these kind of vehicles
13:27really don't want to be stopped.
13:29The risk is elevated
13:31if they have a stolen load on the back
13:33because they're prepared to take more risk.
13:36Go for it here if you want.
13:43At that point, I have no idea who's in the vehicle,
13:46what weapons they're carrying, if any,
13:48or what their intentions are.
13:52Hold on to me.
13:53Hold on, bro.
13:55What, just got it?
13:56It's all right, mate.
13:56I'm following you, aren't I?
13:59How long have you been following us?
14:01The two suspects are split up for questioning.
14:04Yeah, this is something in the car park.
14:05I had a contact with all the traffic.
14:07Nice driver.
14:10All right, mate.
14:11Where do you think I'm going to go?
14:12I don't know, mate.
14:13I've never met you before, have I?
14:14I've seen you.
14:15Have you?
14:16Yeah.
14:17Where are you from?
14:17Where are you from?
14:19Hey.
14:21Don't pull away.
14:22I'm sat in the car.
14:23Don't pull away.
14:24What are you doing?
14:24Don't pull away.
14:25Why?
14:25Because I don't know what you're doing.
14:27I'm handcuffed.
14:27I'm sat in the car.
14:28What do you mean?
14:29Don't pull away from me.
14:30What for?
14:30Why are you sat grabbing me?
14:31You just have to keep control,
14:33not let them have control of the situation
14:35and just be firm.
14:37Okay, just stand there for me
14:38while we give you a search.
14:41Anything on you you shouldn't have?
14:42Yeah.
14:44So, have you got an exhibit back
14:45that we can just put a load of stuff in?
14:46I think I are.
14:49Yeah, yeah.
14:49Can I have to?
14:50Hey, yeah.
14:51Excuse me.
14:52What, just for property?
14:53Yeah.
14:54Yeah, yeah, just property.
14:56Uh, there's...
14:56Balaclava.
14:59That might need to come.
15:03Yeah, I'm just going to go through something.
15:06Um, stolen from West Yorkshire.
15:09Yeah, received.
15:12Managed to get the chassis number off.
15:14It's come back as a stolen vehicle
15:15from West Yorkshire.
15:17You're the one who's in Cuffs
15:18going to custody, mate.
15:19In a stolen van.
15:21The driver's found in possession
15:35of a small amount of
15:36Class A controlled drugs
15:37which were believed to be cocaine.
15:39Let's open your mouth for us, mate.
15:46I know him.
15:47Oh, do you?
15:47I know the passenger, yeah.
15:48I don't know how, but I do.
15:51And he knows me very well.
15:52How does he?
15:53Lower the thing.
15:54There you are.
15:54First bit done.
16:00Yeah, it's empty.
16:00Well, they've removed the airbag.
16:07Stuck the airbag out today.
16:09Yeah.
16:10So I don't know what's in the back of here, mate.
16:12But there's no airbag.
16:15I don't know why they'd bother doing that.
16:17Unless you're planning on, um,
16:18not wanting it going off
16:19in a collision.
16:21When John's gone straight to him,
16:22he's got the can of Stella, actually,
16:24in his hand.
16:24And it looks like they were going to be drinking
16:26probably all the way down
16:27to wherever they were heading to
16:28because there's a box of it
16:29on the front passenger seat.
16:31But, uh,
16:32at the minute, obviously,
16:33we stopped a little bit too early.
16:35This is blown under the limit.
16:36And obviously, we've got an empty van.
16:38But, uh,
16:39we covered a stolen vehicle.
16:41Vehicles on clone plates,
16:42stolen clone plates.
16:44The vehicle was
16:45intending to travel
16:47to an unknown location
16:49that we won't know.
16:50But they will have done.
16:52Um,
16:53steal a load
16:54from a vehicle
16:55and then travel back
16:56to the West Yorkshire area.
16:57That is
16:57what I believe this vehicle
16:59is doing tonight.
17:00running the length
17:03of the county,
17:04the M1
17:05is Derbyshire's
17:06busiest fast road
17:07and the perfect
17:09escape route
17:09for a quick getaway.
17:11I think
17:22it's a lorry driver
17:25that might be the informant.
17:27I think
17:27the suggestion is,
17:28um,
17:29he's got people
17:30trying to nick fuel
17:30from his lorry
17:31that's parked
17:32up in a lay-by.
17:33PC Mac Cooling
17:37is responding
17:37to a theft
17:38in progress
17:39close to the motorway.
17:41We'll always get reports
17:42of, uh,
17:44fuel being stolen.
17:45Obviously,
17:46the price of it
17:46at the minute.
17:47It's, um,
17:50it's, um,
17:50attractive
17:51thing for people.
17:57These types of criminals
17:58can be very unpredictable.
18:00You know,
18:00often they are
18:01toured up
18:01and often,
18:02you know,
18:02when they are
18:03disturbed
18:03or confronted,
18:04they'll probably
18:04offer violence,
18:05you know,
18:05in an attempt
18:06to get away.
18:07Some suggested
18:08that there's been
18:08no noises
18:09for the last
18:10couple of minutes,
18:10so it might be
18:12that they've already
18:12gone by the time
18:13we get there,
18:14but we're going
18:15to go straight
18:16to the location
18:16first,
18:17see if there's
18:17anyone knocking about,
18:18and then we'll
18:18probably span out
18:19from there.
18:20I think these people
18:21see it as their
18:22sort of job.
18:23You know,
18:23they're probably at it,
18:24you know,
18:24three or four times
18:25a week,
18:25and obviously
18:26there's huge profits
18:27if they're successful
18:27in stealing,
18:28you know,
18:29from HGVs.
18:31Can I take a show
18:32to you?
18:32I think I'm stage six
18:33with it.
18:39Yeah,
18:40yeah,
18:41it is the right one
18:41that I'm stage six.
18:48I'm just knocking
18:55on the cab now
18:55to speak to the driver's.
18:56Bear with us.
19:11Morning.
19:12How you doing, mate?
19:12You all right?
19:13Um,
19:14what's the crack there,
19:15mate?
19:15You've heard some noises?
19:17Yeah.
19:18I've heard someone
19:19come out and
19:20they have,
19:22I have come out,
19:22I've heard them run away.
19:23Right,
19:24okay.
19:24The fuel cap
19:25was open,
19:26and yeah,
19:27someone's basically
19:28just,
19:29yeah.
19:29Have you had some
19:30fuel stolen then?
19:31Yeah.
19:32How many,
19:32do you know how much?
19:33No,
19:33I don't know how much.
19:35Right,
19:35have you checked
19:35your fuel gauge?
19:37Yeah,
19:38it's gone down
19:38about half a tank,
19:40basically,
19:41yeah.
19:41And was it full then?
19:43Yeah.
19:43So you've lost
19:44about half a tank then?
19:45Yeah,
19:45the fuel cap
19:46was actually open,
19:47and unlocked.
19:48Right,
19:49how many litres
19:50of fuel then?
19:51So,
19:52if you've lost
19:52off a tank then?
19:54Probably at least
19:54100 litres or so.
19:55Right,
19:56okay,
19:56because I didn't see
19:56any spillages
19:57on the other side.
19:59Around 200 pounds
20:00of fuel
20:01of fuel
20:01has been stolen.
20:02Right.
20:03It's unlocked.
20:04How's it locked?
20:06Is there a key?
20:07Yeah.
20:08Oh,
20:08right,
20:08right,
20:09okay,
20:09okay.
20:10It's not damaged then?
20:11No,
20:11no.
20:12But they've somehow
20:13unlocked it then?
20:13Yeah,
20:14when I was on the phone
20:15to your dispatcher person,
20:16I said I heard them go.
20:17Right,
20:18okay.
20:19Which way did they go?
20:21That way,
20:22because I had my window,
20:23I had the curtain open,
20:24so I would have seen them
20:25if they went that way.
20:26Right,
20:26okay.
20:26They went that way.
20:27The thieves made off
20:29towards the M1.
20:30It's not the sort of thing
20:31that,
20:32you know,
20:32you can just carry away,
20:33you know,
20:33by hand.
20:34It's likely that,
20:34you know,
20:35that'll have gone into
20:35various different sort of
20:37jerry cans maybe,
20:38or bottles,
20:39and,
20:39you know,
20:40into a vehicle
20:40to drive away.
20:41We've come from,
20:43like,
20:43Renneshire,
20:44but that way,
20:44we've not really seen it,
20:45aren't we?
20:45Right.
20:46There's no top road.
20:48All right,
20:48mate,
20:48we'll,
20:48we'll be about then,
20:50mate,
20:51if you get the details
20:51and find some luck
20:52and work then.
20:53I'll leave my colleagues
20:54here to get some details
20:56obviously I've got a lad
20:57down there in a plane car
20:58that's having a look.
20:59I'm going to go down there
21:00myself if that's the
21:00direction they've gone.
21:01You've definitely not
21:02heard of vehicle
21:03or anything then.
21:03100% not heard of vehicle.
21:05No,
21:05but to Nick Underley,
21:06they could have parked
21:07down there.
21:07Yeah,
21:08like further down.
21:08I sat on the phone call.
21:10Yeah.
21:10It was taking about
21:1120 minutes or so
21:12and then,
21:13yeah,
21:14I thought I'd phone it in
21:15just in case
21:16because I thought
21:16it was the trees initially.
21:17Yeah,
21:18yeah,
21:18yeah.
21:19But then I actually
21:20heard someone
21:20jumping down
21:21and I heard someone
21:22talking.
21:23That's when I made
21:24the phone call.
21:25Yeah,
21:25but at the minute,
21:25mate,
21:26there's very limited
21:27obviously what we can
21:27go on other than
21:29us finding stopping
21:30vehicles and hopefully
21:31find it full of fuel.
21:32So,
21:32I'll carry on doing that
21:33and I'll leave you
21:33with these lads
21:34to get all your details.
21:35No problem.
21:35All right,
21:36thank you very much.
21:36You're welcome.
21:37The nicking fuel,
21:39you know,
21:40a matter of feet
21:40from the,
21:41you know,
21:41the driver that's
21:42asleep in his cab,
21:43you know,
21:44and sometimes they're
21:45not the quietest
21:46at doing these sorts
21:47of things and,
21:48yeah,
21:48I think it is pretty
21:49brazen.
21:50If I'm speaking to the
21:51driver,
21:52the fenders have
21:53sort of made off
21:54you know,
21:55backed down
21:56the lay-by
21:57but unfortunately
21:59you can't say
22:00whether they've got
22:00into a vehicle
22:01or,
22:02you know,
22:03just made off
22:03on foot
22:04but realistically
22:05from what he's saying
22:07they've nicked
22:07100 litres of fuel
22:08at least
22:08and there's no way
22:10you can,
22:10you know,
22:11sort of carry that
22:12around
22:12so I suspect
22:13that'll have
22:13gone into a vehicle.
22:16Coming up...
22:17Carl,
22:17watch out,
22:18watch out,
22:18it's coming over.
22:19A pedestrian
22:20putting lives at risk.
22:21Fire mate,
22:22you're on the E38,
22:23it's night time.
22:24You've got to kill yourself,
22:25aren't you?
22:26Running in front of cars.
22:28How on earth
22:29has that ended up there?
22:30And losing control
22:31in the fast lane.
22:32It's a danger
22:33and it could come off
22:35either way
22:35and cause an accident.
22:37Hello everyone,
22:50Elks mobile,
22:51838 for a male
22:53walking the road.
22:56I don't know,
22:57it's got to hang a 3-1.
22:59Southbound.
23:00Entry slip,
23:01clear.
23:03PC Mark White
23:04is on patrol
23:05near Derby.
23:07This mile was
23:08reportedly laid
23:09on the carriageway
23:10on the entrance
23:12slip,
23:13southbound.
23:14A pedestrian
23:15is reportedly
23:16straying onto
23:16the A38.
23:19Control from
23:19an AIS
23:20Katanga 3-1.
23:21One of the county's
23:22fastest roads.
23:24That's very close,
23:25thank you then.
23:26Good morning.
23:28You had a
23:29Haytoe unit
23:29that's seen a male
23:31bottom of the
23:32southbound
23:33entry slip.
23:34Yeah,
23:34I don't know
23:35how close you are,
23:35can you come and
23:36afford us some
23:37protection please?
23:38This male's now
23:40running down the
23:40carriageway on the
23:41bend.
23:47Yeah,
23:472-4.
23:48And I,
23:49I've got this
23:50male,
23:50he was laid down
23:51in the bushes,
23:52he's now
23:53ran off.
23:55Could you just
23:56get highways,
23:57just initially,
23:58to put a
23:59block on,
23:59just past the
24:01south exit slip.
24:03I'm on that
24:04blind bend.
24:06I'm just
24:07afforded no
24:07protection in the
24:08plane car.
24:13Going on!
24:14Mate,
24:15it's the police
24:16dude!
24:17Mate,
24:17I can't leave you
24:18alone when you're
24:18here fella!
24:19Mate,
24:20what's going on?
24:21Listen,
24:21I'm here to help
24:22you.
24:22Mate,
24:23mate,
24:23mate,
24:24listen!
24:27Fella!
24:28Listen mate,
24:28I don't want you
24:29going down
24:30and getting
24:30knocked over.
24:31Just give me
24:31a load!
24:32Give me a load!
24:38An A3-1.
24:40Quite a very
24:41agitated male,
24:43now walking on
24:43the southbound
24:44carriageway.
24:50I see one male,
24:53track two bottoms,
24:54t-shirt,
24:56club,
24:57zipped up top.
24:58He's not very
25:01happy.
25:03I'll wait until
25:03another unit gets
25:04here because I
25:04think we're going to
25:05end up having a
25:06bit of a roll
25:06around on 38.
25:11Currently walking
25:12southbound towards
25:13Ripley Junction,
25:14mate.
25:15walk away.
25:28Don't walk away.
25:28Don't walk away.
25:29Fuck!
25:29Mate,
25:30what's going on?
25:31Fuck!
25:32Mate,
25:32nobody wants to
25:33fight with you,
25:33do they?
25:34I don't know,
25:35it's Katanga 3-1.
25:38I'm going to
25:40pre-empt this.
25:41Can you see if
25:42local have got a van?
25:47I reckon we're
25:48going to end up
25:49getting hands on
25:50and probably rolling
25:50around the A38 at
25:52some point,
25:52aren't we?
25:53Carl,
25:53watch out,
25:54watch out,
25:54it's coming over.
25:55He's now back
26:11on the southbound
26:12carriageway,
26:12walking very slowly
26:15just in front of us.
26:18He's not made a
26:19beeline other than
26:19that,
26:20so I don't know
26:20if you want to
26:20push past him,
26:21I'll just try and
26:22pincer him in.
26:23Sweet.
26:25Stu,
26:33if you just
26:34push forward
26:34and hold these
26:36where we are.
26:37Other units
26:37are blocking traffic
26:38on both sides
26:39of the carriageway.
26:46Ready to come.
26:47Come on.
26:55Behave yourself.
27:08I haven't done
27:09nothing wrong.
27:09Listen, listen.
27:10I'm walking to Derby.
27:11I'm not doing nothing wrong.
27:14Right, mate,
27:14you're on the A38.
27:15It's night time.
27:17You're going to kill
27:17yourself, aren't you?
27:18Running in front of cars.
27:20Trying to walk to my
27:21home city.
27:21I have done nothing wrong.
27:23Where's home city, mate?
27:24Derby city.
27:25We can't walk down
27:26anything yet, can you?
27:26I've got no other way
27:27of going home.
27:28Show me how you go.
27:29Bus, car.
27:31I haven't got a car.
27:33Don't shatter.
27:34I haven't done nothing wrong.
27:36Not shatter in my face.
27:37Oh, are they big?
27:39Yeah, yeah, I am.
27:40Do you know who I am, yeah?
27:42Yeah, do I am?
27:43Do you know who I am?
27:44Yeah, that's why I'm not bothered
27:44about it.
27:45Yeah, well, you're not bothered
27:46about me either.
27:46You tried to run me over.
27:48Listen, listen.
27:49I didn't do anything
27:50other than you tried
27:52to run me over.
27:52I've done nothing wrong.
27:54Right, mate,
27:55at this moment in time,
27:56OK,
27:57we're arresting
27:57your own suspicion
27:58of causing
27:58the danger to road users.
27:59You don't have to say
28:00anything with me.
28:02I am not doing nothing.
28:03I've not got no reason.
28:05You're running in front of cars
28:06and putting yourself at risk.
28:07No,
28:08you've tried to run me over
28:09by overtaking me.
28:10I want to go to my own city
28:11where I feel comfortable
28:13because I've done nothing wrong
28:15and you're trying to arrest me
28:16for nothing.
28:17You're all a bunch of idiots.
28:21What?
28:24I've not even done anything wrong.
28:26All right, all right,
28:27all right, all right,
28:28all right, all right.
28:28Down, down.
28:29All right.
28:29Come on.
28:31That was your issue
28:33because you...
28:33No, because you laugh.
28:35No.
28:35Listen.
28:36All right.
28:37That is not listening
28:38because you're just shouting
28:40and you're talking over us.
28:42I was walking towards the city,
28:43I know.
28:44Right.
28:44And you lot are arresting me.
28:46I've done nothing wrong.
28:48Listen, chap,
28:49if you're going to be here,
28:50we'll sit you back up.
28:51Do you want to sit and talk to us
28:52and we'll sit you up?
28:52If you want to fight,
28:53let's go, bro.
28:54No, no one's saying that, are we?
28:56Talk to us then.
28:57Stop shouting
28:58and we can help you.
28:59Tell us about it then.
29:00Tell us about it then.
29:01Listen.
29:03Local officers arrive
29:04to take the man off
29:05the dual carriageway.
29:09We've got a little bit of blood
29:10in my pocket.
29:11That's it.
29:18It's been searched.
29:18Yeah, he's got a tiny amount
29:19of cannabis in his backy
29:22and that's about it, really.
29:24OK.
29:24Happy just to get him
29:25in the van and go?
29:26Yeah.
29:26Yeah.
29:27He can just go to custody,
29:29can't he?
29:29Yeah.
29:33Wow.
29:36The man's being detained
29:37for his own welfare.
29:39I'm trying to help you.
29:40And for the safety of drivers
29:42using the A38.
29:44His health
29:45and his mental well-being
29:46come above what is ultimately
29:48just a traffic offence, really.
29:51The best place of safety
29:52for him is going to be
29:53the hospital,
29:54which is where he's been taken to.
29:56Let's go for A38, shall we?
30:07Tango 24, receiving an A.
30:09I'm able to start making way,
30:10please, to RTC.
30:14It's been reported
30:15as a single vehicle RTC.
30:18And essentially,
30:19that vehicle has collided
30:20with the central reservation barrier.
30:24How or why that's happened,
30:25I don't know until I get there.
30:27PC Martin Carter
30:28is being dispatched
30:29to one of Derby's
30:30busiest commuter routes.
30:32I'm being sent
30:33purely because
30:34it's on a fast road,
30:35I assume.
30:36It's not been reported
30:37as any injuries,
30:38it's damage only,
30:39but because it's on a fast road,
30:42we obviously carry more equipment
30:43when they're trained
30:44with dealing with
30:45incidents on fast roads,
30:46whereas local cops aren't.
30:50So that's why I've been asked
30:51and I'm probably
30:52the closest traffic unit.
30:53Oh, here's a builder
31:01for traffic.
31:05Oh dear.
31:10How on earth
31:11has that ended up there?
31:15I'm going to chuck
31:15some cones out.
31:18It's obviously a dangerous place
31:19where nobody wants to be.
31:20It could come off
31:21the central reservation
31:22if it rolls
31:23and then they'll want it
31:24rolling into oncoming traffic
31:25and causing a head-on collision
31:26with somebody else.
31:29Is it your car?
31:30Yeah.
31:31Well, it was.
31:32What happened?
31:33I thought up here,
31:35I looked down
31:37and I clipped the kerb
31:38just down there
31:39and then comes
31:40sort of sideways
31:41and the back end,
31:42you see what that
31:42lamppost is
31:43with a big bush stick,
31:44you know?
31:44Yeah.
31:45Hit that
31:46and then took the back wheel off
31:47and took the back wheel off.
31:48Who is that over there?
31:50Then it stopped there.
31:52OK.
31:53It's a very busy road.
31:55There's never enough traffic on it
31:56and the reason
31:57the speed camera's on there
31:58is because people
31:59tend to travel quite fast on it.
32:03Such an odd place
32:04to end up, isn't it?
32:07So it's seen
32:08that the driver of the car
32:09wasn't paying attention.
32:12He's clipped the kerb
32:13but as you can see
32:15from the make-up
32:15of the pavement,
32:16as he's clipped the kerb,
32:18he's ridden
32:18up the kerb
32:20and then he's become
32:22beached on top of
32:23that kerb
32:26in a very precarious position.
32:28He obviously can't see it
32:29because it's dangerous
32:29where it is
32:30and it could fall
32:31into that other lane
32:32so
32:32I've asked for someone else
32:34to come
32:34to give us some cover
32:36on that side of the road
32:37but in the meantime,
32:38pending recovery,
32:39I'm closing this section
32:41because I don't want
32:42people driving past it.
32:43all right, have you got the key?
32:47Yeah, yeah.
32:49I'm not looking
32:50at prosecuting you
32:51for anything.
32:52There is obviously
32:53the aspect of due care
32:54because nobody else has crashed.
32:57I've come round here
32:59and I've got to look
32:59to the left
33:00or something.
33:00Yeah.
33:01But if I weigh it up
33:02on proportionality,
33:05nobody's been injured,
33:06no other vehicles
33:07have been damaged,
33:09there's a bit of
33:10minor traffic issues,
33:11that's it.
33:12So, yeah.
33:14All right.
33:15Cheers.
33:15All right.
33:16Take it easy.
33:17See you.
33:17I could have reported him
33:19for driving
33:20without actually
33:20caring attention.
33:22Would that make
33:23any more of a difference
33:24than the emotional impact
33:26that he's already experienced
33:27from having a collision
33:28and having that fear
33:30of potentially injuring himself
33:31and somebody else?
33:33I think that's
33:33impacted enough
33:34to hopefully
33:35change his habits
33:37and his opinions
33:38on driving
33:39and he'll pay more
33:40attention in the future.
33:41Provided the breath test,
33:42it was zero,
33:43so there's no alcohol
33:44in his system.
33:45So at the minute,
33:46it's purely pending recovery
33:47for this vehicle.
33:48It's causing obstruction,
33:49it's a distraction
33:50to other road users
33:51and because it's balancing
33:52in a precarious position,
33:54it's a danger
33:55and it could come off
33:56either way
33:57and cause an accident,
33:59which is what we want
34:00to avoid.
34:01You can't park over there.
34:04You always get someone
34:05that wants to shout,
34:06you can't park there, sir.
34:09No, he can't park here,
34:10but unfortunately,
34:11he's had a bit of a bump
34:12and he can't drive it away.
34:14I've got people driving past,
34:15literally holding
34:16the mobile phone
34:17out the window
34:17to film it,
34:18videoing it,
34:19laughing it.
34:20At last,
34:21it might be
34:21an unusual thing to see.
34:24They should be
34:25concentrating on their own
34:26driving
34:26and not committing
34:27offences themselves
34:28because they're putting
34:29themselves
34:29and other road users
34:30at risk.
34:34Hello?
34:35Coming up...
34:36I didn't believe it.
34:38A driver ignoring
34:39the law in the fast lane...
34:40When I put the follow me board up,
34:42did you not understand that?
34:43is in danger
34:44of losing
34:45his vehicle.
35:00Come on,
35:01entry slip road,
35:02anyway, 29.
35:05On the M1,
35:07he see Jim Payne's
35:08on patrol
35:08in an unmarked car.
35:11Everybody
35:12is all behaving
35:13themselves
35:13in lane 1 and 2.
35:14It's as if they're no.
35:16I'm sitting
35:17just off the M1 motorway.
35:24Attention.
35:25Phead seat action.
35:27I've been up for that,
35:28though.
35:28Not been there too long
35:29and then the vehicle's
35:30just hit up.
35:32It's pretty cool.
35:32It's got a marker
35:36against it
35:37stating that
35:38the driver of the vehicle
35:39is driving
35:39no insurance.
35:42We can't just
35:43put the blue lights on
35:44because we don't want
35:45people stopping
35:45in a live lane.
35:47So we'll try
35:47and get them off
35:48at a certain point,
35:49either into
35:50motorway service areas
35:51or exit slip roads.
35:56Jim activates
35:57his onboard
35:58follow me sign.
35:59Seems to be
35:59getting a message,
36:00does it?
36:00It didn't say
36:03follow me
36:03and slow down,
36:05does it?
36:08Hello?
36:10Jesus Christ.
36:22Oh,
36:23leave it.
36:30We'll wait for them
36:33to come back out.
36:34They're not going to
36:35avoid me.
36:37I've always knew
36:38I was going to be
36:39the police officer.
36:40Majority of the time,
36:41I enjoy it.
36:42It's a rewarding job.
36:44It can also be frustrating,
36:45you know,
36:45and he's not got
36:46his insurance.
36:47That's my concern.
36:49I'm going to sit here.
36:52Right.
36:52Finally,
36:55the vehicle is now
36:56following behind Jim
36:58off the motorway.
37:00Attention.
37:01PNC action.
37:04Attention.
37:06PNC action.
37:11Good morning.
37:17Yeah, good morning, sir.
37:18When I put the
37:20follow me board up,
37:21did you not
37:21understand that?
37:22Yeah,
37:23I later saw it
37:24because I'm just
37:24seeing like
37:25it's normal
37:26car I'm seeing.
37:27But with blue lights,
37:28it says follow me.
37:30Like you said
37:31I should follow you.
37:32That's why I'm
37:32trying to calm down.
37:33The main thing is
37:34we're here now,
37:35we've got you here.
37:36I have to give you
37:37the police caution,
37:38which is that you
37:38don't have to say anything
37:39to your homey defence.
37:41If you do not mention
37:41now,
37:42something which you
37:43later rely on
37:44in court.
37:44So the vehicle
37:46that's hit up
37:47is showing as
37:47not being insured.
37:49What insurance
37:50and what type
37:51of driving licence
37:52have you got?
37:52I'm going to church.
37:54That's why
37:54I was in order
37:55not to pick
37:57my driver's licence
37:57with me.
37:58Right, okay.
37:59So you haven't got
38:00your driving licence
38:01with you?
38:01He's not here with me
38:03but I am before this.
38:03What type of a
38:05driving licence is it?
38:05I have my
38:05international driver's licence.
38:07An international
38:07driver's licence.
38:08What about your
38:08proper driving licence?
38:10Yeah, I'm still
38:10working on it.
38:11You're still working
38:12on it?
38:12Yeah, I...
38:13Listen, an international
38:14driving licence is nothing.
38:16Okay.
38:17Have you got the
38:17driving licence of the
38:18country that you
38:19pass your test in?
38:20No, I was told
38:22I can use my
38:23driver's licence
38:23until I...
38:24My international
38:25driver's licence
38:25until I got my...
38:26No, if you've got a...
38:28What country are you from?
38:29I'm from Nigeria.
38:30Nigeria.
38:30So have you got
38:31your Nigerian
38:32driving licence with you?
38:33Yes, I have.
38:33Where's that?
38:34Yeah, I'm not here
38:36with it but...
38:36So you can't produce
38:37me your Nigerian
38:38driving licence?
38:39No, I can.
38:40I can.
38:41I forgot it at home
38:42because I'm rushing
38:43down to church
38:44but I have the photo
38:45with me.
38:46Right, okay.
38:46I have the photo
38:47And how long
38:48have you been in
38:48the UK for?
38:49I am just
38:50clocking one year now.
38:52So is it more
38:53than one year
38:53or less than one year?
38:54Because obviously
38:55I've got to check
38:55with immigration
38:56and they will tell me
38:57when you come
38:58into the country.
38:58Yeah, I came
38:59in the country
39:00August last year.
39:02So it's more
39:02than a year then,
39:03isn't it?
39:03Yeah.
39:04So you can't drive
39:05even on your
39:06Nigerian licence
39:07you cannot drive
39:08in this country now?
39:09Yeah, what I had
39:12and what I told
39:12I was told
39:13is I can use
39:14my Nigerian driver's licence.
39:15Yeah.
39:16When you come
39:16into this country
39:17you're allowed
39:19to drive
39:19on your Nigerian
39:20driving licence
39:21for 12 months.
39:22That's to enable
39:23you to have
39:24sufficient time
39:25to get
39:26your UK
39:27driving licence.
39:28After 12 months
39:30if you haven't
39:31got your UK
39:31driving licence
39:32you've got
39:33no entitlement
39:33to drive here.
39:34What about insurance?
39:36Have you got
39:37some insurance
39:37you can produce
39:38to me?
39:38Yes, I insured
39:39my car with a bone.
39:41Have you got
39:41something on your
39:41phone to show
39:43evidence of having
39:43some insurance?
39:45You try and find
39:46me your insurance
39:47then for me to look at?
39:55Have you found
39:56anything on your
39:56phone yet
39:57about your insurance?
39:58Yeah, I'm finding
39:59it difficult to have.
40:00Yeah.
40:01So if you have
40:02an accident
40:03how can you give
40:04anybody your
40:04insurance details?
40:06Yes.
40:06Because you don't
40:07know them have you?
40:07You can't show me any.
40:09Yes, I'm trying to
40:10figure it out.
40:11I'm trying to find it
40:12but I'm just...
40:13I think you need
40:13to be finding
40:14somebody to come
40:14and pick you all up
40:15because this car
40:16is going to get
40:17seized.
40:18Okay?
40:18Because you haven't
40:19got a valid
40:20driving licence
40:21to drive in the UK
40:22now and it doesn't
40:23appear that you've
40:23got any insurance
40:24either.
40:25okay?
40:25Yeah.
40:30But until you
40:30sort your driving
40:31licence out
40:32you just can't
40:33drive and this
40:34sort of thing
40:35will keep happening
40:37until a court
40:38disqualifies you
40:39from driving.
40:41A&PR does part of
40:42the job for us
40:43that will potentially
40:44identify the vehicle
40:45but then it's
40:46down to old-fashioned
40:46policing.
40:49Facing a day in court
40:50for driving
40:51uninsured with
40:51no licence
40:52it's now a taxi
40:54ride home for
40:55the man and his
40:55family.
40:58Fast roads can
40:59be quite a
40:59daunting place to
41:00be especially
41:01when you're trying
41:01to manage other
41:03people.
41:03They'll wander
41:04about the
41:04carriageway,
41:05wander into
41:05traffic, not
41:07being observant.
41:09We spend a lot
41:11of time on these
41:12roads.
41:13They are the
41:13R2-0 routes
41:14from the north
41:15to the south
41:16of the county.
41:17Criminals
41:18will use these
41:19sorts of roads.
41:21They're quite
41:21fast roads to
41:22get from A to
41:23B and also
41:24they can blend
41:25in with the
41:25density of the
41:25traffic then.
41:27It is a high
41:28risk environment
41:29to work in on a
41:30motorway or a
41:30dual carriageway
41:31simply because of
41:32the volume of
41:33traffic that we're
41:34having to contend
41:34with and also the
41:36speeds that are
41:37involved.
41:38Vehicles travelling
41:39up to 70 miles
41:40an hour, if not
41:41faster.
41:42I think the most
41:42danger that I face
41:43day to day is
41:44dealing with traffic
41:45on fast roads.
41:47In this episode,
41:48the suspect
41:53caught on the
41:54M1.
41:56Stay still!
41:57It's gone straight
41:58up, mate,
41:58straight up,
41:58straight up!
41:59In connection
42:00with a van full
42:01of stolen
42:01television sets.
42:02A load of
42:03high-resolution
42:04TVs.
42:05Brilliant.
42:06Yeah,
42:07brilliant.
42:08Is under
42:09investigation while
42:10police await the
42:11results of forensic
42:12tests.
42:14So, yeah,
42:14for us,
42:15it's quite a good
42:15day.
42:16One of the men
42:18arrested in a
42:19stolen van at a
42:20motorway service
42:21station.
42:22It's come back
42:22as a stolen
42:23vehicle from
42:23West Yorkshire.
42:25Pleaded guilty
42:26to driving with no
42:27insurance whilst
42:27disqualified and to
42:29possession of
42:30cocaine.
42:31He was fined
42:34over 350 pounds.
42:36When John's
42:36gone straight to
42:37him, he's got the
42:38can of Stella
42:38actually in his
42:39hand.
42:40Received a two-month
42:41suspended prison
42:41sentence and had six
42:43points added to his
42:44driver's license.
42:46That is a cloned
42:47vehicle that's been
42:48involved in two
42:49thefts, one on
42:50Leicester, one on
42:51ourselves earlier.
42:52Police also suspect he
42:53was involved in the
42:54theft of the load full
42:55of televisions.
42:57Don't pull away.
42:57Don't pull away.
42:58Why?
42:59Because I don't
42:59know what you're
43:00doing.
43:01A second suspect is
43:02currently released under
43:03investigation while
43:04police continue their
43:05inquiries.
43:07You're the one who's
43:08in Cuffs going to
43:08custody, mate, in a
43:10stolen van.
43:11I thought it was
43:11the trees initially.
43:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:13But then I actually
43:14heard someone jumping
43:16down and I heard
43:17someone talking.
43:18That's when I made
43:19the phone call.
43:19No suspects were
43:21found following the
43:22theft of 200 pounds
43:23worth of fuel from a
43:24lorry parked up near
43:25the M1.
43:25Which way did they
43:26go?
43:26What a very agitated
43:30male now walking on
43:32the southbound
43:32carriageway.
43:34The man found
43:35wandering alongside
43:36the A38.
43:37I have done nothing
43:38wrong.
43:39Where's home city?
43:40Derby City.
43:41We can't walk down
43:42A38, can you?
43:42I've got no other
43:43way of getting home.
43:44Was released from
43:45police custody without
43:46action.
43:47I'm trying to help
43:48you.
43:49And taken to hospital
43:50for a mental health
43:51assessment.
43:54How on earth has
43:56that ended up the
43:56roadway.
43:58No action was taken
43:59against the driver
44:00whose car mounted the
44:01central reservation of
44:02a dual carriageway.
44:05When I put the
44:06follow me board up,
44:07did you not understand
44:08that?
44:08And the man who had
44:09his car towed away
44:10from a motorway
44:11service station.
44:12I'm going to church,
44:13that's why I was
44:14annoying not to pick
44:16my driver's license.
44:18Has been reported on
44:19summons to court for
44:21driving whilst uninsured
44:22and unlicensed.
44:23Have you found
44:24anything on your
44:25phone yet?
44:25Is that your
44:26insurance?
44:26I'm finding it
44:27difficult.
44:28I'm trying to find
44:29it but I'm just...
44:30I think you need to
44:31be finding somebody to
44:31come and pick you all
44:32up because this car is
44:34going to get seized.
44:35If prosecuted, he faces a
44:37minimum of six points on
44:38his license and a 300
44:41pound fine.
