FunTranscript
00:00This is Police Interceptors, and you're riding with the pride of
00:10Northamptonshire, Ace Pursuit drivers, with air support, and a crack dog unit.
00:23They bring down the bad guys, keep the streets safe, and battle 24-7, in the war on crime.
00:44This is what it is, isn't it? We find them, we lock them up.
00:51Coming up...
00:53A seven-tonner does a run-up.
00:58Extreme rambling in the woods.
01:04Get the dog, get the dog, get the dog!
01:06Come on, go down the A6, go down!
01:09And...
01:10This is incredible.
01:11Absolutely incredible.
01:13A drug haul for the ages.
01:15I have not seen anything like this in six years of policing.
01:23The war on crime...
01:33Stay where you are!
01:36Stay where you are!
01:37...sees many battles.
01:38Get on the floor!
01:39Put your hands!
01:40Get on the floor!
01:41Put your hands!
01:42Get on the floor!
01:43And in their rolling struggle with gangs who rob lorries...
01:45Put your hands on your back!
01:46After all that.
01:47Oh, bastards.
01:48Cops taste defeat as much as victory.
01:51They could get down to the bridge and go across onto, uh, Swamp Valley.
01:56But interceptors never give up the fight.
02:08We're just getting a report of, uh, uh, Ock Barrack at Watford Gap Services.
02:14Ock Barrack's the national operation in relation to theft of load from, uh, HGVs.
02:23Lucy Scalthorpe is arriving at a lorry park after CCTV captured a theft in progress from an HGV.
02:31.
02:36There's plenty of lorry drivers awake.
02:41Delta 17.
02:42I'm just having a look around the lorry park now.
02:44I'm just having a look down the line of lorries at the minute.
02:48These so-called curtain siding jobs involve slashing the fabric sides of lorries to make off with the goods inside.
02:56You can see how often these get done.
02:59These are all repaired, but there's loads of them.
03:05But just one fresh slash.
03:08That might be a new one.
03:10Hello!
03:11Police!
03:15You all right?
03:16OK, OK.
03:17So, we've been called because maybe people cutting.
03:20Yes, I'm, I'm looking at these, uh, two persons.
03:23You saw them?
03:24Oh, this way.
03:25OK.
03:26This driver disturbed two men in the process of cutting into his curtain side.
03:30Maybe 30, 40 minutes.
03:34OK.
03:35All right.
03:36Rather than confront the men, he started his rig to scare them off.
03:40This park place is very dangerous, eh?
03:43Yeah.
03:44The culprits seem to be long gone.
03:46OK, no problem.
03:48And you.
03:49But as Lucy returns to the road.
03:51Delta 17, I'm just joining the A14.
03:55News of another potential curtain side job.
03:59The sergeant's just been notified of a new set of plates for the cloned Iveco truck that we were looking for in relation to our barrack.
04:07But we've just had an activation in Northamptonshire near to our services.
04:12Thieves often use HGVs to carry off as much cargo as possible.
04:20And the cops are tracking a lorry they believe has previously been used in curtain siding.
04:25Brad's going to try and get behind it carefully.
04:28But we've just got to form some sort of plan as to how we're going to stop it.
04:31Because obviously it's quite a large vehicle.
04:33They don't expect stolen goods on board.
04:36The priority is to get the lorry off the road to avert potential thefts.
04:41And the plan is to box it in with multiple cars backed by air support.
04:49The helicopter's above now.
04:50The target lorry, all seven plus tons of it, will take some stopping.
05:02They can be really dangerous.
05:04They've got a massive size and weight advantage over our vehicles.
05:09Yeah, it can be really risky.
05:14Lucy joins serious horsepower for the super heavyweight boxing.
05:25Every car in this convoy is a cop.
05:28And the four at the front face the biggest risk.
05:33Move on, move on, move on.
05:36Because tactical pursuit and containment is go.
05:43Three cars surround the lorry.
05:46Box on, box on, box on.
05:50Now to slow down and drop a fourth in behind.
05:53But the lorry rams an armed response vehicle and brakes free.
06:00Oh my God.
06:02On September 6, this vehicle, they've got to stop.
06:09It is trying to ram up these vehicles.
06:12Bumber cars with a seven and a half tonner
06:14is understandably alarming for Sergeant Perry
06:17and his partner on the inside lane.
06:20Mate, mate, mate, mate, mate, mate, mate.
06:22No, I bet we've got people.
06:24No mate, we're on the next side.
06:26That'll cut it up.
06:28If we help me and talk about that.
06:32As cars behind negotiate debris from their ram colleague,
06:35at the sharp end,
06:40the unstoppable target leaves the A14.
06:45It makes it pop, pop, pop.
06:48Perry's Volvo is now the lead car,
06:50with a weight disadvantage of about six tons.
06:54Not one, not one.
06:58Not two, not two.
07:00Vehicle is taking the third, taking the third.
07:06The A512.
07:10Vehicle is still continuing down the A512,
07:13approaching red ATF.
07:15Wait.
07:16Neither blue nor red lights are stopping this lorry.
07:25Vehicle has taken a right-wide drive down the nil-nuts lane.
07:28And there's no room to box it in here.
07:32The cops are running out of moves.
07:34Oscar 1 from Leicestershire.
07:35Are you in command of it?
07:38They're also running into Leicestershire,
07:40where county cops will take the lead from Sergeant Perry.
07:44We're trying to keep our distance back under circulation.
07:47We keep our ball on.
07:49As they race into a village,
07:51North Hans hands the bat on to Leicestershire.
07:55Oh my God, the cavalry.
07:59But with seven and a half tons of runaway hell-bent on escape,
08:03the cavalry looks pretty helpless.
08:07There's no way that one can do this.
08:10So.
08:12Two counties of cops can't stop the runaway,
08:14whose next move is the craziest of all.
08:16It's the wrong way down the carriageway.
08:21Don't follow me.
08:23The super heavyweight lorry is racing the wrong way down a dual carriageway.
08:31It's gone midnight and the roads are quiet.
08:33But as cops track it on the right side of the road...
08:39The lorry is racing towards headlights up ahead.
08:43Interceptors are after a runaway lorry they suspect has been used in curtain-side thefts.
09:02It's clipped an armed response vehicle and broken out of a box.
09:12There's no way that one can do this.
09:15Then made a crazy manoeuvre on Leicestershire's patch.
09:19One way down the carriageway.
09:21Oncoming headlights are heading for the seven and a half ton battering round.
09:26A car swerves onto the slip road seconds from disaster.
09:32And with cops from two counties on one side of the carriageway,
09:37the lorry slows on the other.
09:40Two men have bailed out.
09:46And as the pair make a break for it, cops leg it across live lanes in pursuit.
09:52The runners have cleared a fence and dropped into the woods.
10:02Get the door! Get the door!
10:04Somebody go down!
10:06Go down!
10:08Two cops follow the men in.
10:10While more move to contain any points where they can be picked up.
10:13Come on, go down the A6! Go down!
10:16Go down here!
10:18It's dense woodland.
10:19But the eye in the sky sees all.
10:23They're passing into the bushes.
10:24They're going towards the housing estate.
10:27Led by the chopper, they're closing in.
10:33Northside is a high fence.
10:34We're trying to get out of a high fence.
10:36We're now going back towards the rear of the lorry along the fence line.
10:40So the rear of the lorry, along the fence line, still at the A6 side.
10:44Just when it looks like the pair are in the net.
10:50Yeah, but we've lost sight of them, though, in the bushes.
10:53They pull a vanishing trick.
10:54We've not come out.
10:56But they can't hide for long.
10:57I've got them again.
10:58Back officer, stop, stop, stop.
11:00On your left-hand side now, immediately on your left.
11:03As far as you can go into the woodland.
11:05The net's tightening now.
11:08So you go the right way.
11:10When you get to the fence, turn left.
11:12And that'll take you towards them.
11:13Second officer will go.
11:14Stay where you are.
11:16Directly in front of you.
11:17Now standing still against the fence.
11:19Led from above, Leicestershire units are bang on target.
11:23I don't have a tiny under-rest felt stopped.
11:25Dangerous drive, okay?
11:26Don't say anything, mate.
11:27I'm going to figure the metro and question something.
11:28I don't call any user.
11:29Making an evidence, okay?
11:32Both men are soon in cuffs.
11:35You just unloosen that one slightly.
11:37Ready for a ride to the neck.
11:39Thank you, you've got both detained now.
11:42Are you happy for us to resume?
11:44Cops achieved their goal of taking a cloned lorry with suspected links to curtain siding off the road.
11:51Any potential thefts from the lorry park earlier in the evening were also thwarted.
11:56After a lengthy investigation, no action was taken against the tight-lipped pair nicked in the woods, as cops couldn't prove either was driving.
12:04Another night, another shot across the bows in an endless battle with suspected curtain siders.
12:13Six walks, failing to stop, failing to stop.
12:20As dramatic as life as an interceptor can be,
12:23Police! Stop it now! Stop it now!
12:25The biggest jobs
12:30Get out of the car! Get out of the car now!
12:34Aren't always the loudest.
12:43So, we're currently on the Hemingwell in Wellenborough.
12:50This area predominantly is known for drug use and drug and gang violence.
12:56Josh and Alex are on an evening sweep of a drug hotspot.
13:00We're going to patrol the area for a little while and see what we can find.
13:03It's all quiet on the Hemingwell front.
13:06No one's out tonight. No one's playing out.
13:09And the guys are considering moving on.
13:11When the only car on the road triggers their collective spidey sense.
13:19When you've got cars with blacked out windows going to an estate like this,
13:25it's always good to run them through the box to see if we've got any information on our systems about them.
13:31The question is, do their checks on the shady Golf R warrant a peek behind its tinted windows?
13:36Yeah, let's put it, mate. Let's get rid of it and see what he's doing.
13:40I mean, that's a good way to run.
13:41But it's just a big deal.
13:42Yeah, no worries to it.
13:43Hello, guys.
13:44Hello.
13:45Hello, lad.
13:46You driving last time, yeah?
13:47Yeah.
13:48Do you live here?
13:49No, no, I've got my friends.
13:50No, I've got my friends.
13:51Is this your friend here?
13:52Yeah.
13:53Oh, lads.
13:55Yeah, buddy. You're driving last time, yeah?
13:56Yeah.
13:59Do you live here?
14:01No, I'm with my friends.
14:02Huh?
14:03No, I'm with my friends.
14:04Well, is this your friend here?
14:05Yeah.
14:07They're an unlikely duo.
14:09And while one half of the odd couple searches for his driving licence,
14:13the other looks for clarity.
14:15What's going on?
14:17Huh?
14:18What's going on?
14:20But there are more questions than answers.
14:23How do you know him?
14:24Uh, we drink sometimes together, beer.
14:28You drink beer together?
14:29Yeah, yeah, we do.
14:30Drinking buddies, then.
14:32How do you know each other, though? How have you met?
14:34Oh, no, we work together. I wouldn't come to.
14:36Okay.
14:37Or work colleagues.
14:38How old are you?
14:39Uh, 40.
14:41You're 40, are you?
14:43Either the driver has an incredible skincare regime,
14:46or these guys are quite the intergenerational double act.
14:50Have you ever been stopped by the police before?
14:52Uh, no, not really.
14:53Just for that speeding, that's it.
14:56Sorry, my friend.
14:57I'm going to go grab cigarettes and come back to you, yeah?
14:59Okay, okay, okay.
15:00You stay here for a sec.
15:01Stay here.
15:01Uh, all right, yeah.
15:02Just going to take you through our system, but okay?
15:04Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
15:06While Alex runs him through, Josh jolks the driver's memory.
15:11You've been arrested before, haven't you?
15:12Uh, no, I haven't.
15:14I've only been arrested.
15:16That was a long, long time ago.
15:18Easily forgotten.
15:19A couple of years ago, man.
15:20You're good.
15:21You're good to go.
15:23Can I go back?
15:24Yes.
15:25Yeah, it's fine, yeah.
15:27Life begins at 40, and one half of the odd couple is free to go and enjoy it.
15:33His history checks out.
15:35His drinking buddy-come-work colleague, on the other hand...
15:39They're going to search him and his golf.
15:49Is your car unlocked for my friend, yeah?
15:50Yeah, let me unlock it, no.
15:52Because it seems he's forgotten quite a lot.
15:55The grounds for my search is that we've got recent information on police systems
15:58to suggest that you are involved in supplying drugs in Wallenborough.
16:02Okay?
16:03You have met up with a lad much older than you.
16:06Yeah.
16:06Okay?
16:07And you both told me different stories while you're meeting with each other.
16:10Okay.
16:11Okay?
16:11You told me you worked with him, and he said you're just here to have a drink with him.
16:14Yeah, exactly.
16:15So, for me, it raises my suspicion that one of you are lying.
16:19No worries.
16:20Okay?
16:20Do you understand?
16:21Yeah, good stuff.
16:21So, yeah.
16:22Yeah.
16:23So, you're here.
16:23What are you doing?
16:24No, nothing.
16:25What's up with you?
16:26Nothing, nothing, nothing.
16:27Why do you keep moving around, then?
16:28I don't know.
16:30Are we going to find anything, fellas?
16:31So, you might as well be honest with us.
16:32Yes, just a couple of bags of wraps.
16:35That's it.
16:35Wraps of what?
16:36It's cocaine.
16:37That's it, cocaine?
16:38Yes.
16:39Whereabouts are they?
16:40In my pocket here.
16:42In your pocket?
16:42Yep.
16:46Just, that's all.
16:48Anything else in the car, chap?
16:49No, that's it.
16:50I'm just cash.
16:51That's it.
16:52Which, obviously, how many bags have you got?
16:54We've come to a party.
16:55Just about six person in use.
16:56That's it.
16:57He's coughed to six deal bags of coke, plus pocket money.
17:01Where's your cash?
17:03Is it in it?
17:03It's in it, yeah.
17:05Well, there's no dealing as well.
17:06I don't do no dealing.
17:07I work at the barbers.
17:08Holy heck, at 100.
17:11You must be a whiz with the scissors.
17:13How much cash you got on you, buddy?
17:15Quite a lot of cash, isn't it?
17:17That's not a lot of cash, because that's my barbering money.
17:19Given the coke, the cops have doubts about his barbering money.
17:25The time is 20, 25, and you're under arrest for possession-intensive supply, Class A drugs.
17:31He's still trying to spin the amnesia about past dealings with cops.
17:36I've not been arrested there before, though.
17:38Well, you've been arrested now?
17:40Yeah.
17:40Yeah?
17:40Yeah.
17:41Yeah.
17:43How many phones you got on you?
17:44I just do.
17:45We took my class in the house, which you can check anyway, so.
17:48You got two?
17:49Yeah.
17:49And someone really wants a haircut.
17:57073.
17:58Incoming numbers make the useful intel.
18:05And those wet-shave appointments just keep on coming.
18:08These phones are very active.
18:09Yeah.
18:13It's not good for the drugs.
18:15Hmm?
18:15It's not good for the drugs.
18:16It's cold, isn't it?
18:20I'm going to sit you back in the car, and I'm going to sit you back in my car, and I'm going to search your car.
18:26No.
18:26I'm going to sit you back in the car.
18:26OK.
18:27Come on, you're good.
18:29And that search...
18:31Oh, my God.
18:36...turns up a whole lot of barbering money.
18:38An insane amount of cash.
18:42There's got to be thousands upon thousands in there.
18:47Got more cash here.
18:50He's also got a parking ticket, so it's not a good day for him.
18:53He's not got much to smile about.
18:55Alex.
19:00Yeah.
19:01Does he need his tuggies?
19:02Does he what?
19:03Does he need his teeth?
19:04Isn't his teeth?
19:05Yes, please.
19:06Yeah.
19:06Yes, please.
19:08But at least he's got his pearly whites.
19:10The family will be taking him to custody, so, yeah, it's going to be a long night for him.
19:15And he's not the only one, because with the world's best barber checked into the north, Hans Hilton,
19:24it's blues, twos, and high-speed driving for Josh and Alex.
19:30We're on our way to search of a property of the suspect here we've just locked up.
19:36The reason why we're going on our blues and twos is because we've got intelligence to believe that his friends have been calling up on his mobile phone,
19:43so they might get with that he's been arrested, therefore they might go to the address to see if he's left any drugs or cash at the house.
19:52So time is off the essence for us now.
19:54We need to get to that address.
19:56And at warp five, that doesn't take long at all.
20:04I need seven.
20:05That's copy.
20:06On arrival, they break the bad news to the barber's family.
20:15He's been arrested, so we've come in here to search his house.
20:18Did you show us his bedroom? Is that OK?
20:19Which one's his bedroom?
20:22Top of the stairs on your right.
20:24It's the one with the Class A drugs in.
20:26Jesus, I suppose it's in here, mate.
20:28Is it?
20:31Let's get it in situ.
20:32Wow.
20:33Crikey.
20:40So, obviously, in this bag, we've got quite a lot of suspected Class A.
20:43It's obviously what we're looking for.
20:45And that's just the starter.
20:47But there's more.
20:49Wow.
20:50Jesus Christ.
20:51There's absolutely loads here.
20:53We've got thousands of pounds worth of street value here of suspected Class A.
20:57It's just so much.
20:59Jesus.
21:00Jesus.
21:03This is incredible.
21:04Absolutely incredible.
21:07It's the Class A gift that keeps on giving.
21:09I have not seen anything like this in six years of policing.
21:18And we deal...
21:20We deal with a lot of drug corn.
21:21We rest a lot of drug dealers.
21:24Every...
21:25I mean, there's another bag full.
21:27Thousands and thousands of pounds.
21:29I think it's going to be more.
21:31Yeah, there you go.
21:32Yeah, it's just more.
21:33Thousands of pounds.
21:34This is just incredible.
21:36It's a really, really good result, this is.
21:38Absolutely.
21:41I've never seen anything like it.
21:44Never seen anything like it.
21:45It's an insane amount of drugs.
21:47Oh, look.
21:47There's more, isn't it?
21:48Just quickly, mate.
21:49We're at the 18.
21:51I'm not joking when I say this.
21:53There's about 500 wraps of cocaine here.
21:57And that's at a minimum.
21:59Biggest job ever, mate.
22:00It's got to be the biggest job ever, bud.
22:02Has to be.
22:03This is massive.
22:07Massive.
22:10The guys can't wait to get back to the Nick to tot up their haul.
22:15That's amazing.
22:20That's why we do the job.
22:21Tests confirm the drugs seized were indeed cocaine, with an estimated street value of £36,000.
22:34Cops also seized more than £8,000 in cash.
22:37The forgetful barber pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and possession of criminal property.
22:44He awaits his sentence.
22:48We've taken quite a big fish out of the game today.
22:51We want to rid our streets of these people.
22:54This product would have been sold to users, some of which are vulnerable.
22:58Some might have been given to children to deal.
23:04Coming up.
23:05Exit stage left, pursued by a dog.
23:15Stopping a fail to stop.
23:20And a blunt reminder.
23:22That's come right through your engine, babe.
23:25Not to sit on the fence.
23:26If that had been another couple of inches higher, you'd be looking at being impaled by it.
23:35It's the night shift, and Dan Bradley Brophy is out in the burbs with police dog Kola.
23:52Interceptors are tracking a car with multiple markers, resulting from intelligence gathered by other forces.
24:07It's got a mark on it that it's been involved in throw-overs at prisons, and also has failed to stop for another fork.
24:20Throw-overs involve bad guys throwing things like drugs or phones over prison walls, to be collected by inmates.
24:27A recent op has cut throw-overs in half at Northampton's biggest prison.
24:33He's curiously come down the M1 from, I think, Derbyshire, and for some reason now popping up around Northampton.
24:41And any car linked to them is a car of interest, particularly one that has previously run from cops.
24:48The traffic units is going to have a look for it, and I think we'll go and give them a hand, just in case it should turn into a bit of a failed stop.
24:57Dan's preferred patrol car is anything with a dog in the back.
25:01So he's golden tonight.
25:03But his dog van isn't the fastest ship in the fleet.
25:10The plan is for speedier ARVs to get behind the target.
25:13That plan needs recalibrating as Dan's spotted the Ford.
25:31The dog man holds the Ford until the extra horsepower rides in.
25:34There's multiple markers on this car, so I think we should try and compliantly stop it, rather than T-pack it, and then just see what reaction we get.
25:55It's a plan, but road drivers didn't get the memo.
25:58Don't try and squeeze your A in, mate.
26:00Formation tightened.
26:05It's time to test the water.
26:08I'll stick the lights off.
26:10They don't know who was driving it at the time, but the Ford has form for failing to stop.
26:16No compliance at this time.
26:20And early signs are tonight's driver won't book that trend.
26:25I'll stick the lights off.
26:26I'll stop.
26:26Failing to stop for blues and twos, the Ford slows to a crawl, and the masked passenger pops out and takes off.
26:43Down in the park.
26:44One running.
26:45He's dropped something, which he's risked going back for.
26:49Car block.
26:50Failed to stop.
26:51Failed to stop.
26:52Dan and Cola are going after the butterfingered runner.
26:55F-bust thing.
26:56We're far at road now.
27:00Left, left, left.
27:01Welton Road.
27:02Welton Road.
27:03Two ARVs are going after the car he got out of.
27:09Which is running reds at a high rate of knots.
27:14The ARV split up as the second car hammers the back streets, trying to get ahead of their target.
27:20Firearms cops know these roads inside out.
27:25But slowed by pedestrians.
27:30And by traffic.
27:34This one needs to go some.
27:35But at the speed the runaway's travelling, the back street shuffle proves a lost cause.
27:52And they're still second fiddle to the lead car.
27:54It's a high speed convoy as the runaway leads two cars out of town and onto rural roads.
28:15Before suddenly throwing in the towel.
28:19The driver's struggling.
28:39Mate, get your hand behind your back.
28:42Do it now.
28:42Put your hand behind your back, mate.
28:44Do it now.
28:45Get your hand behind your back.
28:46Right.
28:47That's all you need to do.
28:49Go on, mate.
28:50Go on.
28:51Okay, pal.
28:52You're under arrest for dangerous driving and fail to stop at the minute.
28:55You don't have to say anything.
28:56My own defensive.
28:56Do not mention when questioned.
28:58So we should later on in court.
29:00As they get him to his feet, the driver looks fine for his struggle.
29:05Hey, you got any injuries or anything like that?
29:07Are you all good?
29:07You okay?
29:08This looks good though, yeah.
29:09As long as you're okay?
29:10I'm good.
29:12Here's your mate that ran off.
29:14Look.
29:16It's all on camera.
29:19It is indeed.
29:20But the driver doesn't seem to remember this guy bailing out of his passenger door.
29:28You don't know what we're talking about.
29:30Guns on you.
29:31Yeah.
29:32For what?
29:33Well, for firearm stuff.
29:35Where are you from?
29:37I was visiting my cousin from Northampton.
29:38I'm from London, sir.
29:39You're from London, sir.
29:40There were two others in the car when it was stopped.
29:43So I'm just going to search you now, all right?
29:45But a search of all three occupants and the vehicle reveals nothing dodgy.
29:49Yeah, steady, steady.
29:50The cops suspect the country drive was to draw them away and allow the decamping passenger
29:56to escape.
29:58Can I come in?
30:00If so...
30:01I've been moving quite quickly.
30:03It worked.
30:05Yeah.
30:05Just not my day for getting in.
30:07But the car's been stopped and the driver's been arrested.
30:10It won't, however, prevent the man at the wheel of the car he left from facing driving charges.
30:16You've got a driving licence?
30:18Huh?
30:19Provisional?
30:19Okay.
30:20Yeah.
30:21Have you got insurance?
30:22Yeah.
30:22It's mobility, so it's open insurance.
30:24Well, not for you.
30:25If I'm on a provisional licence.
30:26He's on a provisional, and therefore unlikely to be covered by insurance.
30:31Just jump in there, mate.
30:31I'll give you a bit of leg room.
30:33Just jump in.
30:33So, no passenger but one in custody.
30:37And some suspicious wheels off the road.
30:40The focus that's been taken away now had markers from other forces in relation to being involved
30:46in drop-offs in prisons with drones, so using drones to drop drugs and other contraband
30:51into prisons.
30:53It also had some other markers about it failing to stop for police.
30:58So, yeah, it's nice to get that off the road.
31:00The driver of the runaway Focus, who forgot his fleeing passenger, was convicted of dangerous
31:07driving and driving without a licence or insurance.
31:11And he got a four-year suspended prison sentence.
31:23I saw the car pass me about 100 miles an hour.
31:25Oh, all right.
31:27Interceptors attend more road traffic accidents than they'd like.
31:30Any injuries?
31:31They've seen all kinds of crashes.
31:33He's done a red line.
31:35Yeah.
31:35Laurie's flipped him, and then he's made off.
31:37With all kinds of drivers.
31:39Because you've been involved in a collision, and you're currently under arrest on suspicion
31:43of driving a motor vehicle whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol.
31:46But by far the most likely group to be involved in an accident...
31:50So you changed this tyre this morning?
31:52Yeah.
31:52I think that's the worst tyre I've ever seen.
31:54...are new drivers with no experience.
31:57I've got chunks out of it somewhere.
31:58It's like someone's been eating.
31:59Yeah, I've got a...
32:00You learn to drive with an instructor, but you really learn how to drive when you're
32:06out doing it on your own.
32:08New drivers, no matter what their age is, don't know their limits or their capabilities.
32:12So, I'd say there definitely are more at risk of crashing.
32:19It's the early hours, and Keith and Michael are in a hurry.
32:34It's off the 8.45.
32:36Yeah, and it's the work road down to...
32:39Towards Wharton.
32:40Yeah.
32:40Yeah.
32:41They're responding to an urgent call about an RTC.
32:45Car's come through a fence.
32:46Reports say a car crashed on a straight road with no other vehicle involved.
32:53Sounds a bit dodgy to me.
32:55Advanced driver, advanced motorcyclist.
32:58Michael's even got his HGV licence.
33:01It's fair to say he can drive in a straight line.
33:06How can you crash on a straight bit of a road?
33:08Yeah.
33:08On the straightest road since Roman times, they approach the crashed car.
33:15Well, he's got a right mess with that, isn't he?
33:19Stepping heck.
33:21Amazingly, driver and passenger walked away.
33:25Oh.
33:26Are you all right?
33:27Yeah, I'm...
33:28Who's the driver?
33:30I'm the driver.
33:30You've gone through one fence, gone out and come back through another fence.
33:34Bravo.
33:35How are you going to do that, then?
33:36I was drinking my water and I wasn't paying attention.
33:39You was drinking your water and you wasn't paying attention?
33:41Yeah, Mike.
33:42So, because of that, we're going to obviously have to breathalyze you.
33:45All right, have you got an alcoholic drink today?
33:4720 feet battalion driving.
33:48All right, okay.
33:49Have you had any drugs at all?
33:50No.
33:51Okay.
33:52How old are you?
33:5317.
33:5417.
33:54When did you pass your test?
33:56Three months ago.
33:56Okay.
33:58So, would you suggest that probably it's your lack of skills behind the wheel?
34:03Yeah, probably awareness.
34:04Yeah.
34:05All right.
34:06True to his word...
34:07Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
34:11Fence killers had neither drink...
34:12Put your tongue right out.
34:14...nor drugs.
34:15That's a negative on the drugs.
34:17But he's likely to face charges for his driving.
34:20Because of what you've done to your car, what you've done to the fences...
34:25Yeah.
34:26...that you're going to be reported for driving without due care of attention?
34:29Okay.
34:29All right.
34:31He should be relieved he's around to be reported at all.
34:35Have you seen the wood?
34:37No.
34:38You're a lucky boy.
34:39Well, where's the wood?
34:40Really lucky.
34:42The fence they crashed into is a pointed reminder to always pay attention at the wheel.
34:48Has it gone through the windscreen?
34:53Wow.
34:53That's come right through your engine bay.
34:56It's flying.
34:57If that had been another couple of inches higher, you'd be looking at being impaled by it.
35:03A fence post passed right through the engine bay and buried itself in the driver's seat.
35:09His legs must have been either side of it at impact.
35:12I'm actually unsure how that's missed him.
35:16This guy should buy a lottery ticket pronto.
35:18I've never seen anything like that before.
35:21Seasoned traffic cops Michael and Keith can't quite believe it.
35:24Oh, my God.
35:26That's gone right through the...
35:27Over the engine.
35:28Over the gearbox.
35:29Over the gearbox.
35:29Over the gearbox.
35:29Through there.
35:31It's so precise, isn't it?
35:32It's gone.
35:32Missed everything.
35:33Yeah.
35:34Including him.
35:36Somehow, the state missed the engine.
35:38The gearbox and the driver's...
35:40Va, va, va.
35:40Looking at that, he's come down here, somehow lost control, clipped the curb there.
35:50He's probably then over-corrected, doesn't he?
35:53That vehicle's all in all of the...
35:54But then that's clipped him across.
35:55Clipped him across.
35:55Clipped him across.
35:56Over there.
35:58So you can see wood in there as well.
36:01Where he's hit it, it's kind of there.
36:05Yeah.
36:05There.
36:06In there.
36:08Literally just...
36:09Destroyed the whole fence.
36:12And it seems the wood in the driver's seat isn't the only stake that stabbed the car.
36:18The engine bay looks like a game of kerplunk.
36:21It's punctured the sump.
36:23Really?
36:23Yeah.
36:24Even the engine itself was pierced.
36:27There's a stream of oil going through the grass.
36:29I've showed you that, where he's...
36:31Yeah, yeah.
36:31...punched the sump.
36:33And with the driver's dad on hand to see how close his son came to disaster...
36:37Because then you can see the oil...
36:39All the way.
36:41Everyone can breathe a monster sigh of relief.
36:44I've seen these types of things where people have not come out alive.
36:49So your son is a very lucky boy.
36:52Lucky boy's good fortune continued.
36:55No further action was taken regarding allegations of driving without due care and attention.
36:59It's fair to say somebody up there likes him.
37:04I've been 17 years old and that bit of wood's missed him, well...
37:09Missed him by centimetres, isn't it?
37:12Just amazing.
37:13Sounds pretty concerning, isn't it?
37:25Coming up...
37:26No witness to seeing a female being forced into a vehicle.
37:29All systems go after reports of a kidnap.
37:32We're going to head to that address as quick as we can.
37:35It's approaching midnight.
37:55Richie and Harrison are racing to reach the scene of a worrying incident called in by the public.
38:09No witness to seeing a female being forced into a vehicle.
38:13I've got limited details at the minute.
38:15Apparently you're screaming, take it off me.
38:18Probably be treated as a potential kidnap.
38:21He could be as hard as nails, but Harrison's a family man with a soft spot for anyone in a tight corner.
38:27Sounds pretty concerning at the minute.
38:30The description of the car into which the girl was bundled is pretty vague.
38:46Yeah, I'm just trying to search on local cameras at the same time for anything that sort of fits that description, sort of black in colour in a state car.
38:56And the plot thickens.
38:58Cops have found a phone where the suspected abduction took place, and a cash card with a teenage girl's name on.
39:12Richie and Harrison come to a decision.
39:14We're not far from the address. We're grade 1 in there now.
39:18Roger.
39:18So ARVs have found a bank card for someone that's in a phone case by the looks of it.
39:30We've had a look on Niche and we've found a location that the potential female that's had some involvement.
39:36We've got to head to that address as quick as we can.
39:39They need to piece together the facts. If this is kidnap, then the phone could be a victim's or a suspect's.
39:47Or the whole thing could be a mistake.
39:51Left, left at the top.
39:52Either way...
39:54Right, right again.
39:55The registered address of the girl on the bank card is a good place to start fact-finding.
40:02Clearly.
40:04But before they get there...
40:05The female's turned up.
40:07Bank card girl returns to the scene in a black corset.
40:11And it's...
40:12She's with a IC3 male.
40:15She's arrived with a friend to find her phone.
40:19Bit of a coincidence, though, isn't it?
40:20With no grounds to detain, firearms cops at the scene have let the girl retrieve her phone and go.
40:27But Richie and Harrison have doubts.
40:30Just a big coincidence, isn't it, for my liking?
40:33It's a bit strange at the minute.
40:35There's a person returned to pick the phone up from where this potential kidnap happened.
40:40And the car she left in isn't far away.
40:44It's this vehicle in front.
40:45They've been spoken to, but...
40:48I'm just trying to establish further details.
40:51They're convinced something doesn't add up.
40:55No, no, we're behind that car now.
40:58Might stop it again and give us further questions.
41:00And decide to shed a little blue light on the mystery.
41:03Hello there.
41:16I know you've just spoken to some of my colleagues, but can I just...
41:19Rather than be...
41:19Just so it's safer.
41:20Do you mind just stepping out on the car, which I'll check you there, please, both of you?
41:22I don't know how much the officers told you earlier, OK, but I'm going to tell you maybe
41:30a little bit more than they have, because I want to bottom this out.
41:32Earlier this evening, right where your phone was found, there was reports of a female having
41:38some sort of argument with one or two males, and it looked to someone like they'd end up
41:43being pushed in the car.
41:44Is it possible that that was you?
41:49Richie's favourite TV show is The Traitors, and he'd be a damn hand in the castle.
41:54All it takes from Sergeant Lie Detector is a look.
42:00Just thinking it was a prank.
42:02Pardon?
42:02Yeah, it was a prank.
42:03So was it you?
42:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:05So you just said...
42:05You said no.
42:06It was not an argument.
42:07I need a straight answer here.
42:08What was going on there?
42:09It was just a prank.
42:10Tell you what, do you want to come and chat with me?
42:12Yeah, a prank.
42:13OK.
42:14So what happened?
42:16We were messing around.
42:17OK.
42:18Like playing around, and I ran out, so I didn't like this song.
42:21We were just messing around.
42:22It was supposed to be a prank.
42:23So you've had an awful lot of police officers looking into this, because we think it looks
42:26like a suspected kidnap.
42:28So your prank's gone a little bit wrong in that sense, hasn't it?
42:30You see what I mean?
42:31I'm so sorry.
42:32That was not supposed to happen.
42:35They need to be sure she's not lying out of fear for her safety.
42:40Obviously, you've got an opportunity to tell me something different here.
42:41Was it a prank, or was it a little bit more serious?
42:43I'm completely fine.
42:45What happened in the prank?
42:46You tell me.
42:47What did you do?
42:48I just ran.
42:49I got out of the car, and then I was running away as a joke.
42:51Who are you running away from?
42:53This man here?
42:54Is he partner, boyfriend, friend?
42:56No, just a friend.
42:56OK.
42:56And who else?
42:58And my other friends.
42:59Your other friend?
43:00Yeah.
43:00And what did they do to you as part of that prank?
43:03I jumped out as a joke, and they came to chase me.
43:06It's a thing on TikTok.
43:09Right.
43:10Yeah, I think you probably heard.
43:11I don't know if you've heard of it before.
43:12I don't do TikTok.
43:13So go on.
43:14What's it on TikTok?
43:15It's just like a trend.
43:16Is it?
43:17You run away.
43:18It seems they were trying to resurrect an old online trend.
43:22It's from years ago.
43:24Where folk uploaded clips of staged chases.
43:27Why'd you run after her?
43:28Because you were just trying to be silly.
43:30I'm actually so sorry for wasting time.
43:32I didn't remember.
43:32We've called out.
43:33Somebody's been called out to review some specialist CCTV.
43:36You weren't far away from instigating a major police operation.
43:41Your friend was also involved.
43:44Yeah.
43:45The third man.
43:46Is this him?
43:47Yeah.
43:48Can I talk to him?
43:48Yeah, you can talk to him.
43:49Hello?
43:50Hello?
43:51Hello there.
43:52It's the police.
43:53The third man's version of events checks out.
43:56Probably not the wisest of options.
43:59I'm 100% not.
44:00And the prankster three are innocent.
44:03Is this going to go on TV?
44:04I hope so.
44:06And it's going to go on TV.
44:07And look at my hair.
44:08It's not even going to pop me in them, even in pajamas.
44:10It's not the hair, but it's the Crocs.
44:12Yeah, I've got Crocs on as well.
44:14That should be a criminal offence.
44:16In the absence of the fashion police, no further action will be taken against the prankster three.
44:23Anyway, I'll let you two hopefully be the stars of a police intercept show at some point with your Crocs and PJs.
44:30Wait, I watched this show.
44:31I actually watched that night's having.
44:34Well, you're free to go.
44:35You're free to go on your way.
44:36Enjoy the rest of your night.
44:38And in the nicest possible way, I hope we don't see you in the same circumstances again.
44:41I might get kidnapped again.
44:42You're free to go on your way.
