00:00Derbyshire traffic cops it does have warning markers for potential firearms
00:12police a thousand square miles
00:21with some of the UK's most dangerous roads
00:30I don't know what's been killed out of this I don't know
00:33it's scary when stuff like this happens in life and death situations
00:38get on the ground you'll be chasing we've got runners face down yes yes successful
00:46stick around every corner great acting mate there's a new challenge for the
00:56traffic cops coming up this vehicle is failing to stop country straight through red lights
01:14traffic cops using teamwork and tactics box on box on box on working together on the hunt
01:26for criminals sitting there or are you going on the floor and stopping them in their tracks
01:33it's crash crash crash goodbye
01:40traffic cop Alex head is on patrol in the Derbyshire Dales
01:47the pink district is full of idyllic little country villagers you know I think that's why
01:55we're all quite good drivers because we're all used to driving on the country roads I think that makes you a better driver
02:02as well as being one of the UK's most scenic areas the county is also a target for thieves and catching them relies on tactics and teamwork
02:09you've got to be dynamic with your options and your tactics when it comes to stopping a car because you don't know what the people are going to be doing in that car
02:16and that's why that's why I think that's why we're all quite good drivers because we're all used to driving on the country roads
02:22I think that makes you a better driver
02:23as well as being one of the UK's most scenic areas the county is also a target for thieves
02:27and catching them relies on tactics and teamwork
02:30you've got to be dynamic with your options and your tactics when it comes to stopping a car
02:35because you don't know what the people are going to be doing in that car
02:38you don't know how they're going to behave even if they just see your police car
02:43it's a white transit tipper
02:49at force control there's an alert
02:53there's a Ford Transit which has just been stolen
02:58for Transit Tipper
03:01but it's crashed into I think into two other vehicles
03:04and the occupants have made off
03:06and then there's been a vehicle travelling in convoy
03:10which is a blue Skoda that's now hit up south of the county
03:16so the Skoda's been identified as being involved in this van theft
03:21multiple units including myself are going looking for this vehicle
03:25yeah received
03:27I'm currently on the bridge over the M1
03:31no sighted yet
03:33it's an old really old shaped Skoda
03:37so we know it's a clone
03:39that's it
03:42Alex and three other traffic units are looking for the suspects
03:46we're always single crewed
03:49you're on your own
03:50but it's like a pack mentality
03:52we all help each other out
03:53and there's always that support there
03:554-3 contact contact M1 North
03:58it's in lane 4
04:00it's now just coming across to lane 3
04:03I've got 3 for cover
04:05I'll give you my authorities now
04:07high performance mark vehicle
04:08advanced driver TPAP trained
04:10so we're just behind the vehicle now
04:13I'm currently in lane 2
04:15it's well aware of my presence
04:17I've currently got none for cover
04:18I'm standing at 4A
04:191 mile from Woodall, Alex
04:22so the plan is we have more TPAP units to come into my location
04:29and if necessary implement a tactic like a box of the car
04:33yep that's received
04:35the vehicle is off, off, off
04:37as the potential for a dangerous pursuit increases
04:41Alex needs backup
04:43ultimately we don't want to be in pursuits
04:45they're dangerous
04:46we're occupant
04:47we're currently in lane 1 heading up to the roundabout
04:50they've put us at risk
04:52they've put all the members of the public at risk
04:53and if we can try and avoid it
04:54then that's great
04:55NA, did you say
04:56we've got any South York 2 units available?
04:59but we don't live in a perfect world
05:01where that can always be done
05:02should monitor in the moment
05:04wait a note, okay?
05:09I ask to lane 4A3
05:11should this vehicle attempt to go
05:12contact flow
05:13tactical contact is authorised over
05:17With no support close by
05:19Alex is forced to stop the car alone
05:24NA, this vehicle is failing to stop
05:26we've gone straight through the red lights
05:29still on the roundabout now
05:31on standby
05:34South Yorkshire 2 marked vehicles
05:362 marked vehicles owner
05:38yep, that's received

07:23except his
07:27Dan's coming
07:28more or less at the same time
07:29as this driver
07:31I don't think you could
07:32choreograph it any better
07:39right then youth
07:40you're under arrest on suspicion
07:41of failing to stop
07:43dangerous driving
07:45theft of motor vehicle
07:47you don't have to say anything
07:48but it may harm your offence
07:50if you do not mention when questions
07:51or something which you later had in court
07:52anything you do say may be given in evidence
07:54you've got to work with me eyes or what?
07:56no, because it makes it worse
07:57you had hope to drink?
07:58no
07:59not to kill you
08:02I'd like to see him there follow up your eyes
08:03can you put your hands in front of me like?
08:05eh?
08:06can you put your hands in front?
08:07no
08:08no
08:09no
08:10no
08:11no
08:12no
08:13it's taken out a set of traffic lights
08:14so highways are going to need to come out
08:16if you can sort that please
08:19traffic cop Dan Mitchell searches the car
08:22oh dear
08:24oh dear
08:25nice
08:26yeah so
08:27just in the back of the car
08:29got some
08:30different plates
08:31erm
08:32so it's hiding its true identity
08:34the plates will probably come back to
08:35legitimate vehicles
08:36of similar make and model
08:37so it just allows them to go about their business
08:40erm
08:41pretty much under the radar
08:42he's obviously got
08:43his little
08:44tool for changing the plates
08:46which he's not managed to do yet
08:47nice big lump hammer
08:48so
08:49it's possibly that it's
08:50a bit of a pull car
08:51er
08:52I've been involved in coming out for quite a while
08:54and it'll just
08:55stop
08:56change its place if it thinks it's been seen
08:57so erm
08:58for now
08:59get him down to custody
09:00we'll go from there
09:01good job
09:03lovely stuff
09:04good job
09:05you alright?
09:06yes mate
09:07excellent team job
09:09Dan was just in the right place at the right time
09:11I think it was aided by the bramble bushes as well
09:13they certainly slowed him down
09:14handles down
09:15but
09:16yeah
09:17we got him
09:18so he's been arrested for
09:20dangerous driving
09:21there's a few near bushes he's had with
09:23with other members of the public
09:24wrong side of the keep left bollards
09:26into oncoming traffic
09:28failed to stop
09:29theft of motor vehicle
09:31driving without licence
09:32because he's the only provisional licence holder
09:34driving without insurance
09:35driving whilst unfit through drink or drugs
09:38because he's just admitted to me that he needs his methadone
09:41I think he's on remand as well
09:42so I think he'll be going back inside
09:44excellent
09:46see you later
09:47bye bye
09:48cheers Dan
09:50the guy we've got arrested is well known to police
09:55do you have any illness or injury?
09:57no
09:58just from methadone that I need
10:00soon as possible
10:01because I need it now
10:02do you use any other drugs other than methadone?
10:05a bit of crack or coke
10:09every now and then
10:11so ultimately
10:13with his history
10:14and now with this new incident
10:16I think we're going to M1
10:17he'll be doing some prison time
10:19and that's a good result
10:20it gets another one off the streets
10:22who's out there
10:23day in day out
10:24robbing from hard working people
10:26job done

18:54he's a delight isn't he?
18:57this chap didn't want to come with us
18:58didn't want to tell us who he was
18:59but ultimately this chap was wanted
19:01and he's now been arrested
19:02he'll be in custody now
19:05and he'll put before the next available court
19:07and the court will decide what to do with him
19:08so
19:09happy days
19:10I suspect he's probably on there
19:12on that
19:13yeah
19:14it's horrendous
19:15turn up to work as drunk as that
19:17on the heavy equipment and stuff
19:18it's just a recipe to all go wrong
19:20to all go wrong
19:21I work with my team day in day out
19:24and everybody understands what everyone else is doing
19:28to be able to bring these situations to a conclusion
19:31that's what brings us our success
19:33any things are coming?
19:34yeah you're welcome
19:35you're welcome
19:40coming up
19:41somebody to decom into a field
19:45officers hunt down suspected thieves on the run
19:49right I've got somebody
19:50pretty much over where the drone is
19:52yeah
19:53behind a hedge there look
19:56thank you for that
19:57and target
19:58team move up
19:59move up
20:00move up
20:03a gang of known offenders
20:04yep
20:06there's been a suspicious incident
20:07I believe that your vehicle's been involved right
20:09with all this rain it'll certainly test if my car's now watertight or not
20:34oooohhhhhh I just saw that at the last second
20:36halfway through a night shift
20:40traffic cop Nick Rice is on patrol near Derby
20:45at 8
20:46Tango 38
20:47just be aware
20:492 to 3
20:50there's a massive patch of water
20:52right next to the lay-by
20:53right next to the lay-by
21:04right let's have a look
21:10from an A just had a report of a vehicle that's been stolen
21:13direction of travel currently unknown
21:15all units stand by for vehicle details
21:17if any units can start making their way into the area
21:21there's a job right south of the county
21:25some lads have looked to potentially steal another Audi
21:29and the vehicle disappeared off towards Leicestershire
21:33but now it's coming back this way so we might be onto something
21:36we're looking for a Audi A5 in black
21:43we've got the red of the vehicle
21:45but just a keeper comes back to
21:48Bedfordshire
21:50and insured comes back to Scotland
21:52so it's a little bit far from home for my liking
21:57we've had a confirmed sighting of this vehicle
22:00last seen heading northbound
22:02we've got any units in the vicinity to make the way
22:05that Audi has activated cameras
22:08so we're just making our way to
22:11try and catch up with it
22:13this is not good
22:16I hate driving in heavy rain
22:19the weather isn't great
22:22the weather isn't great
22:24it's tipping it down with rain
22:29and that has to be a consideration
22:31if they don't stop
22:33is it worth pursuing them
22:35putting your life in danger
22:37and members of the public's lives
22:40hello tangy 3A
22:42Lee is that you behind me?
22:44yes
22:46yeah 24
22:47got no sign of it as yet
22:49oh in fact
22:51standby I might have it ahead of me
22:52standby
22:55yeah I've got it ahead of me
22:59it's lane 2
23:01it's that Audi
23:02it's an S5
23:03it's moving to lane 1 now
23:05in fact I think it's in
23:07might be in convoy
23:09with a van
23:13the van's just mirrored it
23:14and it seems to be sticking quite closely with it
23:17Sanger 39
23:18I'm directly behind 3A
23:193A
23:203A4 should be with us shortly
23:21so that gives us 3 tactical units plus 5 rounds ahead
23:28Teamwork and the role that we do is everything
23:31it's key
23:339 times out of 10 we are working single crew
23:36but I always know that I've got some backup somewhere nearby
23:40and I ask a Tanger 38
23:42and they're off off off
23:44both of them
23:48vehicles are through the lights
23:52they are following each other
23:53they might be aware of my presence shortly
23:55because we're probably going to be stuck at reds
23:58and it's a lit area
23:59to stand by
24:05I'm Tanger 38
24:06I'm in a high performance
24:07multi-vehicle pursuit management trade
24:09I'm just holding back
24:10so that they don't suspect that
24:12I'm following them
24:13the element of surprise is key
24:15I'm taking the third the third
24:17the ideal plan
24:19is to get these vehicles stopped
24:20prior to any pursuit taking place
24:22because although they might look exciting
24:24when you're involved in them
24:26they can be quite daunting
24:28and scary sometimes as well
24:30we're at a roundabout
24:32and it's the first
24:34the first
24:37I went to a petrol station
24:39stand by
24:40go for a box Lee
24:41I'll go around the front mate
24:43do you want to take the back?
24:45yeah it is
24:55the vehicle is failing to stop
24:59failing to stop
25:01my instinct reaction is
25:02I'm going after that
25:03yeah 3
25:04come 10-0 around
25:06I'm Tanger 39
25:07we've got two pursuits
25:08running here out
25:09and Lee is currently
25:10in a pursuit
25:11at the same time
25:12that I am
25:13with the van as well
25:14because that's started making off
25:16stand by
25:17yeah speed is
25:196-0
25:20in a 3-0
25:25top 0-1
25:26do you have a DRA please?
25:28DRA is medium at the minute
25:29due to speed
25:30and weather conditions
25:31road conditions are wet
25:33traffic is light
25:34it's left
25:35left
25:36left
25:37stand by
25:45top 0-1
25:46do you have a pursuit
25:47is authorized
25:48to improve in time
25:49keeping up safe with DRA
25:51Tanger 38
25:52speed currently 1-0-0
25:54in a 5-0
25:56road conditions remain the same
25:57traffic is light
25:58DRA is medium
26:00stand by for direction
26:01approaching roundabout
26:05my vehicle is wrong side
26:06at the roundabout
26:07stand by
26:09it's going contra-flow
26:10down the A42
26:11I believe it is
26:13it takes a certain kind of
26:14mentality
26:15and a certain person
26:16that wants to do that
26:17it's just fraught with danger
26:20and it's a disaster waiting to happen
26:24all of you
26:25can we focus on
26:263-9
26:28Lee where are you?
26:29I've got a drone on board
26:32I'm making some ground to catch up
26:34can see the lights in the distance
26:36stand by for decamp
26:37into a field
26:38as Nick arrives with the drone
26:42the suspects have disappeared
26:45I reckon we'll be along that hedgerow
26:48on the way
26:49because there's too many cars from this way
26:53stuck a deliberate manoeuvre
26:55off the main road
26:56and straight into a field
26:57I've managed to pull up
26:59just alongside of it
27:01but was unfortunately blocked by the hedges
27:03and by the time I've got round the hedges onto the field
27:07you could see in the distance
27:08there was at least one
27:10one of the occupants from the van
27:12was right at the far end of the field
27:14which I could see
27:15there was some kind of torch light
27:16whether it was a mobile phone
27:17or using his torch
27:20come on, come on, come on
27:21come on, come on
27:22so we've got this van here
27:23we've got the driver's door
27:24and front passenger door
27:25which tells us at least
27:27two occupants have fled from the van
27:30they've most likely done this kind of thing before
27:34it's a pretty much
27:35stop and run
27:42drones in this kind of situation
27:44they're key
27:45when it comes to locating people
27:47that have got away
27:48because they're just like having a mini helicopter up
27:53right, I've got somebody
27:55I think
27:56pretty much over where the drone is
27:58yeah
27:59behind a hedge there, look
28:01oh yeah, yeah
28:02it's not far from here
28:04hopefully
28:06it'll be one of our suspects
28:08laying low in bushes
28:10because they can't have got too far
28:15local police arrive to join the search
28:19SWAT cops, are you just getting out now?
28:21it's to your left hand side
28:23I don't know if it's a hedgerow or what
28:25but to your left hand side
28:26if you walk forwards
28:28keep going forwards
28:29but more to your right
28:30there's one cop that's pretty much on the grass
28:32keep walking forwards
28:35just in front of you
28:36to your left now
28:37now, to your left, left, left
28:39there
28:40there's a lack of electric box here
28:41could that be a vehicle
28:42yeah, it could be
28:43damn
28:44maximum flight distance reached
28:45I was here within about
28:46five or six minutes
28:47so they've got a good head start
28:48I've got the drone up
28:49but unfortunately
28:50I've not been able to find them
28:51erm
29:01it's just quite a wide open area
29:02with some houses as well
29:03further away
29:04but
29:05I don't know where they've disappeared to
29:06but
29:07wasn't able to pick them up at all
29:08which is frustrating
29:10Lee searches for evidence
29:12there's a smell of cannabis coming from the van
29:23and then what looks to be
29:26possibly some kind of erm
29:29I don't know whether it's an electrical pump or something
29:33and we've just got a couple of empty pots with some soil discarded
29:37so
29:38it's kind of hinting that it's
29:40been some kind of cannabis grow
29:42and they needed to get away from us
29:44but there's nothing suggestive in this van
29:46whether it's linked to high-end vehicle thefts
29:51which was what was initially thought
29:53so we need to identify the true identity of this vehicle
29:58er
29:59it's running on these plates
30:01which erm
30:03would just match up against the van
30:06the van
30:07so just having a look in the windscreen
30:09er
30:10it's partially obscured
30:11but we know from the last
30:13four digits
30:14that it certainly doesn't match the plates that it's running on
30:17so
30:18what we'll do
30:19we'll get it dragged out
30:20we'll see if we can find either the stamp in the engine
30:22or anywhere else on the chassis
30:23erm
30:24whether or not the vehicle comes back to being stolen
30:26which I suspect it may do
30:28we'll get that found out
30:30the suspect van will now be recovered
30:36what's the plan then?
30:38as long as you winch
30:40so I thought it goes and just chain it strap it
30:42yeah that's what I'm thinking
30:43that's what I'm thinking
30:44yeah that was never being driven out under its own steam was it?
30:54I think
30:55I think
30:56I think
30:57I think
30:58can I pass your VIN number please for this erm
31:01boat to cattle
31:03yeah it's definitely been involved in cannabis cultivation hasn't it?
31:07yeah I just ran this vehicle through PNC
31:10coming up as a stolen vehicle
31:12yeah
31:13crikey okay
31:14er
31:15stolen vehicle
31:16er
31:17stolen erm
31:19back end of 2022
31:22stolen from Coventry way
31:24I've got no idea who these people were
31:27I don't know what they were up to
31:28or what their plans were for the rest of the night
31:31there was evidence in the back of that van of cannabis grows
31:35so
31:36they are criminals
31:37you know
31:38they'll be doing this kind of thing day in day out
31:40it's what they know it's what they're used to
31:41so er
31:42I've got a stolen vehicle off the road
31:45at least we've taken one of their tools away from them
31:47there's part of his exhaust
31:49is that his exhaust or is that part of a
31:51ah yeah
31:52ah that's his er
31:54intercooler pipe
31:56it wasn't the fastest pursuit I've been in
31:59but er
32:00it was raining the roads were wet
32:02er thankfully there wasn't any traffic about really
32:05no pedestrians or anything like that
32:06so erm
32:07I had to be careful
32:08er
32:09because the last thing I want to do is come off the road
32:10so er
32:11he got away
32:12people that do manage to get away from us
32:17it does make me feel a bit better knowing that ultimately
32:23whether it be
32:25the next day
32:26or a week down the line
32:27a month down the line
32:28they're going to get caught for something
32:30they've got to be lucky every single time
32:32we've only got to be lucky that one time
32:34coming up
32:35can't do
32:36can't do
32:37can't do
32:38can't do
32:41can't do
32:42can't do
32:43can't do
32:44can't do
32:45can't do
32:46officers team up
32:47been in trouble with the police for a mate
32:48to stop a car full of suspects to combat a recent surge in lorry crimes traffic cops like sergeant
33:12scott riley rely on tactics and teamwork snt unit receiving from ostango c4
33:22yes please mate make yourself nice and visible on junction 28 and start following the first ones
33:29off to uh stop and settle in please teamwork and the team dynamic drives every single job that we've
33:38got we have got specialists that just concentrate their efforts on giving us information so we can
33:46then go out and respond to it we're seeing gangs that are working together traveling across the
33:53borders it really is about that team effort of identifying these vehicles making sure that
34:00officers are going to the right places and taking some proactive steps to get these vehicles stopped
34:06so we're just having a look in the lorry parks we get a lot of reported theft from lorries so a lorry
34:15like this one that's got a curtain side it's very easy to slash the side of it and get the goods from
34:21within it and when they park next to each other like this it's easier for criminals to hide in between
34:28them and get the goods out unsighted so we're just having a good look around the lorry park just to make sure
34:37there's no suspicious vehicles no vans and nobody looking to steal from the lorries
34:48so sometimes with these it's more it's as much about disruption you can't always catch them in the act
34:56but if you get the what we call the spotter vehicles that uh are out scoping the the lorries and looking
35:04at what they can attack um if we can get them stopped and then at least it's some disruption
35:13at promenade towards south mobiles be aware we've had reports on the vehicle suspected to be a spotter
35:18involved in other thefts in vehicles up and around the county unknown occupants at this time
35:22and they just put us down speed cameras on the motorway without any lights on please just trying
35:29to catch this vehicle you've got uh at least four or five p-pack units on knots scott is racing to
35:37intercept a suspicious car so we've just had some people disturbed looking around lorries in the m1
35:45so i'm just on my way to to try and sight the vehicle uh in an unmarked car up ahead the suspects have
35:55passed one of the team it's just somewhere behind it currently lane one speed six zero he's probably
36:03aware of my presence i'm with you i'll let you know just going up to half a mile marker board
36:17and go sarah falls with your four five yeah two four cbs approaching junction
36:35do you want me to come through naturally
36:39yes you can
36:40as scott is in an unmarked car he takes the lead
36:51tango sierra four is now pursuit uh no vehicles for cover speed is uh seven zero it's now back to lane
37:00one and it is committed committed uh beyond services
37:06three three four eight car three one more all authorities with enough units in place the team
37:17prepares to box the vehicle in thank you with all the units there this vehicle just fell to stop
37:24the suit will be authorized uh for five and keep the audio behind it to take off on the suit should it go
37:30into pursuit yes yes so the team happy to move up
37:35yeah four eight car two i do side
37:41yes yes we'll let it clear this van uh then when it clears this van sierra four will go to the front
37:48whoever's behind the subject vehicle they're what we call the pursuit commander
37:52really it should be aware everybody's just working really hard around that person to make their life as
37:58easy as possible so teamwork is key
38:03team move up move up move up move up
38:15box on box on box on
38:28uh
38:33anybody in the back undo your belt undo your belt undo your belt come out
38:41take the belt from around him roger
38:42take the belt from around him
38:48i'll take him roger
38:49have we got enough to get everybody off
38:54have we got enough to get everybody off at the next junction we all should have one prisoner each
39:11do you understand why you've been stopped mate there's been a suspicious incident
39:20at the services down the road i believe that your vehicle's been involved right
39:24scott and the team take the men away to be searched
39:33so what's going to happen is we're going to search you we're going to search your vehicle
39:56under section one of pace um to look for any articles in relation to theft
40:04um or anything going equipped to steal all right you've been in trouble with the police before mate
40:09uh when i'm younger when you're younger what was that for um
40:13um
40:14burglary or arm burglary i can't remember
40:16arm burglary what were the perks of that
40:19young and stupid
40:21hey young and stupid but what did you do
40:24um
40:24just ran into a shop and took a tool
40:27no did you whereabouts do you live what whereabouts do you live um from leeds you're from leeds are you
40:36are you wanted or anything like that do you know at the minute
40:39so you've been done before for no insurance but yeah i've got insurance on this one
40:42which is good right jump out for me a minute buddy i'll give you a search
40:49quite a tall lad aren't you just a bit
40:51how tall are you everybody's tall to me though
40:58what do you mean at your time at all i mean at all yeah i'm five nine
41:09unfortunately in this occasion we've not found anything on them or on this but on this card
41:14surprisingly for one of these sorts of incidents is actually all legit so it's actually insured
41:20it's all taxed everything like that so either they've been out just spotting uh for the
41:26people who are out and about or um yeah they're just doing recce
41:33get yourself back up to leeds and don't come back they know that we know what they're up to
41:43there is no way that those lads at two o'clock on a monday morning have come all the way from
41:48leeds for any legitimate purpose they are definitely out and about going into all of our
41:54services looking to steal from lorries so whilst we're not arrested them what we have done is we've
42:00disrupted them we've told them that we know what vehicle they're using we've told them that's how
42:05we're going to deal with them they're going to be boxed in on the motorway and they're going to be
42:09bought away and they're going to be searched tonight they've got nothing on them gloves balaclavas
42:15but the next night we'll do the same again they might have something on them and we can get them
42:18arrested good uh nice box though that good good well done all bye now let's go good work dealing with
42:27organized criminal gangs is definitely a team game from the people putting intelligence together
42:34and the hard work from the people in the control room if we haven't got a good solid team behind us
42:43then there's no point in doing what we do
42:48we've got a really good mix of young enthusiastic officers
42:52older and more experienced officers that all work together really nicely
42:57we're all trained to the same high level we all know what each other's doing and when it works
43:04it works really well team working for us is this everything really
43:12in this episode i know this vehicle is failing to stop
43:18the man who failed to stop for officers and crashed his car into some traffic lights
43:23was charged with car theft dangerous driving failed to stop no license no insurance and drug driving
43:32he's awaiting trial
43:37if you don't show me your hands then i will use guts
43:42the suspected drunk driver who was also wanted for a breach of a court order was charged and remanded
43:48to court the following day but no action was taken against him for any drink driving offenses as the
43:54police were unable to prove he was drunk in charge of the car
44:06the suspect in the audi that failed to stop for nick is still on the run
44:10it's going contra flow down the a42 i believe it says
44:13inquiries are continuing to identify the driver but the registered keeper has been sent a notice of
44:20intended prosecution the stolen van that also failed to stop has been returned to the insurance
44:27company an investigation is ongoing to identify the occupants
44:33on the belt on the belt on the belt and the man suspected of lorry theft
