Short filmTranscript
00:00I believe y'all want it to be honest.
00:04Keep the streets safe.
00:09And battle 24-7.
00:13In the war on crime.
00:19This is what it is, isn't it? We find them, we lock them up.
00:24Coming up.
00:27A seven-tonner does a run-up.
00:31Extreme rambling in the woods.
00:36Let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:38Come on, go down, go down.
00:40And, this is incredible.
00:43Absolutely incredible.
00:45A drug haul for the ages.
00:47I have not seen anything like this in six years of policing.
01:00The war on crime.
01:06Stay where you are.
01:07Stay where you are.
01:08Seize many battles.
01:10Get on the floor.
01:11Put your hands.
01:12Get on the floor.
01:13What?
01:14And in their rolling struggle with gangs who rob lorries.
01:17After all that.
01:18Oh, bastards.
01:20Cops taste defeat as much as victory.
01:23They can get down to the bridge and go across onto Swan Valley.
01:27But interceptors never give up the fight.
01:29We're just getting a report of a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a barrack at Watford Gap services.
01:44Oh, Barrick's the national operation in relation to theft of load from HGVs.
01:54Lucy Scalthorpe is arriving at a lorry park after CCTV captured a theft in progress from an HGV.
02:01There's plenty of lorry drivers awake.
02:12Delta one seven.
02:13I'm just having a look around the lorry park now.
02:16I'm just having a look down the line of lorries at the minute.
02:20These so-called curtain siding jobs involve slashing the fabric sides of lorries to make off with the goods inside.
02:27You can see how often these get done.
02:32These are all repaired, but there's loads of them.
02:36But just one fresh slash.
02:39That might be a new one.
02:41Hello.
02:43Police.
02:46You all right?
02:48So we've been called because maybe people cutting.
02:52Yes, I'm, I'm looking at these two persons.
02:54You saw them?
02:55Oh, this way.
02:56Okay.
02:57This driver disturbed two men in the process of cutting into his curtain side.
03:05Okay.
03:06All right.
03:08Rather than confront the men, he started his rig to scare them off.
03:11This park place is very dangerous, huh?
03:14Yeah.
03:15The culprit seemed to be long gone.
03:17Okay. No problem. Thank you.
03:19And you.
03:21But as Lucy returns to the road...
03:23Delta one seven. I'm just joining the A14.
03:26News of another potential curtain side job.
03:30The sergeant's just been notified of a new set of plates for the cloned Iveco truck that we were looking for in relation to what barrack.
03:38But we've just had an activation in North Ampsonshire, near to his services.
03:43Thieves often use HGVs to carry off as much cargo as possible.
03:50And the cops are tracking a lorry they believe has previously been used in curtain siding.
03:55Brad's going to try and get behind it carefully, but we've just got to form some sort of plan as to how we're going to stop it, because obviously it's quite a large vehicle.
04:04They don't expect stolen goods on board.
04:08The priority is to get the lorry off the road to avert potential thefts.
04:13The bus is right to our mission, then.
04:16And the plan is to box it in with multiple cars backed by air support.
04:21The helicopter's above now.
04:22The target lorry, all seven plus tons of it, will take some stopping.
04:34They can be really dangerous.
04:35They've got a massive size and weight advantage over power vehicles.
04:40Yeah, it can be really risky.
04:41Lucy joins serious horsepower for the super heavyweight boxing.
04:52Every car in this convoy is a cop.
04:59And the four at the front face the biggest risk.
05:04Because tactical pursuit and containment is go.
05:09Three cars surround the lorry.
05:16Box on, box on, box on.
05:21Now to slow down and drop a fourth in behind.
05:28For the lorry rams an armed response vehicle and brakes free.
05:32Oh my God!
05:33Bumpet cars with a seven and a half tonner is understandably alarming for Sergeant Perry and his partner on the inside lane.
05:51As cars behind negotiate debris from their ram collie.
06:06At the sharp end.
06:10The unstoppable target leads the A14.
06:15The vehicle is off, off, off.
06:17Off, off, off.
06:19Perry's Volvo is now the lead car.
06:21With a weight disadvantage of about six tons.
06:24Not one, not one.
06:29Not two, not two.
06:31Vehicle is taking the third, taking the third, the A512.
06:41Vehicle is still continuing down the A512.
06:44Posting red APF.
06:46Wait.
06:47No blue nor red lights are stopping this lorry.
06:55The vehicle has taken right, right, right down to Milnox.
07:00And there's no room to box it in here.
07:03The cops are running out of moves.
07:05That's the one from Leicestershire.
07:07Are you in command of it?
07:09They're also running into Leicestershire.
07:11Where county cops will take the lead from Sergeant Perry.
07:15We're trying to keep our kids from that.
07:16We're trying to keep our board on.
07:20As they race into a village.
07:21Just a bunch of the village.
07:23Everyone else.
07:24North Hans hands the bat on to Leicestershire.
07:28Oh my god, the cavalry.
07:31But with seven and a half tons of runaway hell-bent on escape.
07:35The cavalry looks pretty helpless.
07:36There's no way that will come back to this.
07:42Two counties of cops can't stop the runaway.
07:45Whose next move is the craziest of all.
07:50It's the wrong way down the carriageway.
07:53Don't follow me.
07:55The super heavyweight lorry is racing the wrong way down a dual carriageway.
08:02It's gone midnight and the roads are quiet.
08:04But as cops try to get on the right side of the road.
08:09Oh my god.
08:11The lorry is racing towards headlights up ahead.
08:13The lorry is racing towards headlights up ahead.
08:14Interceptors are after a runaway lorry they suspect has been used in curtain-side thefts.
08:35It is trying to run with these vehicles.
08:39It's clipped an armed response vehicle and broken out of a box.
08:43There's no way that will come back to this.
08:47Then made a crazy manoeuvre on Leicestershire's patch.
08:50Long way down the carriageway.
08:51Oncoming headlights are heading for the seven and a half tonne battering round.
08:57Oh my god.
09:00A car swerves onto the slip road seconds from disaster.
09:04And with cops from two counties on one side of the carriageway, the lorry slows on the other.
09:15Two men have bailed out.
09:17They come, they come.
09:19And as the pair make a break for it, cops leg it across live lanes in pursuit.
09:30The runners have cleared the fence and dropped into the woods.
09:33Get the door, get the door!
09:34Somebody go, go!
09:36Go down!
09:38Two cops follow the men in.
09:40While more move to contain any points where they can be picked up.
09:44Come on, go down the A6!
09:46Go down!
09:49It's dense woodland.
09:51But the eye in the sky sees all.
09:54They're passing into the bushes.
09:55They're going towards the housing estate.
09:59Led by the chopper, they're closing in.
10:03The north side is a high fence.
10:05We're talking out of a high fence.
10:07We're now going back towards the rear of the lorry along the fence line.
10:11So the rear of the lorry, along the fence line, still on the A6 side.
10:16Just when it looks like the pair are in the net.
10:21Yeah, but we've lost sight of them now in the bushes.
10:24They pull a vanishing trick.
10:26They've not come out.
10:27But they can't hide for long.
10:29I've got them again.
10:30So stop, stop, stop.
10:31On your left side now.
10:32Immediately on your left.
10:33As far as you can go into the woodland.
10:36The net's tightening now.
10:39So you go the right way.
10:41When you get to the fence, turn left.
10:43And that will take you towards the second off the side of the road.
10:45Stay where you are.
10:47They're directly in front of you.
10:48They're standing still against the fence.
10:50Led from above, Leicestershire units are bang on target.
10:53I'm going to tie you under a spell stop.
10:55Dangerous drive, OK?
10:56Don't say anything, mate.
10:57How are you defending the metro?
10:58I'm going to question something.
10:59I'm going to call you.
11:00I'm going to use it.
11:01Any evidence, OK?
11:03Both men are soon in cuffs.
11:05You just unloosen that one slightly.
11:08Ready for a ride to the neck.
11:10Nicky, you've got both detain now.
11:12Are you happy for us to resume?
11:14Cops achieved their goal of taking a cloned lorry with suspected links to curtain siding off the road.
11:22Any potential thefts from the lorry park earlier in the evening were also thwarted.
11:27After a lengthy investigation, no action was taken against the tight-lipped pair nicked in the woods,
11:33as cops couldn't prove either was driving.
11:35Another night, another shot across the bows in an endless battle with suspected curtain siders.
11:48Six-four, it's failing to stop, failing to stop.
11:51As traumatic as life as an interceptor can be...
11:54Police, stop it now! Stop it now!
11:56The biggest jobs...
12:00Get out of the car! Get out of the car now!
12:03...aren't always the loudest.
12:18So, we're currently on the Hemingwell in Wellenborough.
12:21This area predominantly is known for drug use and drug and gang violence.
12:27Josh and Alex are on an evening sweep of a drug hotspot.
12:30We're gonna throw the area for a little while and see what we can find.
12:34It's all quiet on the Hemingwell front.
12:37No one's out tonight. No one's playing out.
12:40And the guys are considering moving on.
12:45When the only car on the road triggers their collective spidey sense.
12:49When you've got cars with blacked-out windows going to an estate like this,
12:56it's always good to run them through the box see if we've got any information on our systems about them.
13:01The question is, do their checks on the shady Golf R warrant a peek behind its tinted windows?
13:07Yeah, let's put it in my ass. Let's give it a tug, see what he's doing.
13:11Let's give it to him.
13:21Hello, guys.
13:23Hello.
13:25Hello.
13:26You driving last time, yeah?
13:27Yeah.
13:30Do you live here?
13:31No, no, he's got my friends.
13:32Huh?
13:33No, he's got my friends.
13:34Huh.
13:35Well, is this your friend here?
13:36Yeah.
13:38They're an unlikely duo.
13:40And while one half of the odd couple searches for his driving license,
13:43the other looks for clarity.
13:46That's clarity.
13:48Huh?
13:49What's going on?
13:50But there are more questions than answers.
13:53How do you know them?
13:54Uh, we drink sometimes together beer.
13:58You drink beer together?
13:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:00Drinking buddies, then.
14:01How do you know each other, though?
14:02How have you met?
14:04Oh, no, we work together.
14:05I wouldn't tend to.
14:07Or work colleagues.
14:08How are you?
14:10Uh, 40.
14:11You're 40, are you?
14:13Either the driver has an incredible skin care regime,
14:16or these guys are quite the intergenerational double act.
14:20Have you been stopped by the police before?
14:22No, not really.
14:23Just for that speeding, that's it.
14:25That's it.
14:26Sorry, my friend.
14:27I'm going to go grab cigarettes and come back to you, yeah?
14:29OK, OK, OK.
14:30Will you stay here for a sec?
14:31Stay here.
14:32All right, yeah.
14:33Just going to check you through our system, but OK.
14:35Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
14:37While Alex runs in through, Josh jogs the driver's memory.
14:41You've been arrested before, haven't you?
14:42Uh, no, I haven't.
14:44I've only been arrested, that was a long, long time ago.
14:48Easily forgotten.
14:49Well, a couple of years ago, am I?
14:50You're good.
14:51You're good to go.
14:53Go on, go on, man.
14:54Yes.
14:55Yeah, it's fine, yeah.
14:58Life begins at 40,
14:59and one half of the odd couple is free to go and enjoy it.
15:03His history checks out.
15:05His drinking buddy-come-work colleague, on the other hand...
15:09Moment of time, mate.
15:10You are going to be saying, under section 23, Mr. Juggs Act.
15:12Yeah.
15:13OK? Do you understand about it?
15:14Yeah.
15:15Put your hands in front of me, please.
15:16They're going to search him and his golf.
15:19Is your car unlocked, my friend, yeah?
15:20No, let me unlock it, then.
15:22Because it seems he's forgotten quite a lot.
15:25The grounds for my search is that we've got recent information on police systems
15:28to suggest that you are involved in supplying drugs in Wellenborough.
15:32No.
15:33OK?
15:34You have met up with a lad much older than you.
15:36Yeah.
15:37OK?
15:38And you both told me different stories while you're meeting with each other.
15:40OK.
15:41OK?
15:42You told me you worked with him and he said you're just here to have a drink with him.
15:44Yeah, exactly.
15:45So, for me, it raises my suspicion that one of you are lying.
15:49No worries, no worries.
15:50OK?
15:51Do you understand?
15:52Yeah, definitely.
15:53So you're here?
15:54Yeah.
15:55So you're here?
15:56What are you doing?
15:57Nothing.
15:58What sort of you?
15:59Nothing, nothing.
16:00Why do you keep moving around, then?
16:01I don't know.
16:02Are we going to find anything, fellas?
16:03You might as well be honest with us.
16:04Yes.
16:05Just a couple of bags of wraps, that's it.
16:06Wraps of what?
16:07Just cocaine.
16:08Wraps of cocaine?
16:09Yes.
16:10Whereabouts are they?
16:11In my pocket here.
16:12In your pocket?
16:13Yep.
16:16That's all.
16:17Anything else in the car, chap?
16:19No, that's it.
16:20I'm just cash.
16:21That's it.
16:22Which, obviously, cash...
16:23How many bags have you got?
16:24We've come to a party.
16:25Just about six person in use.
16:26That's it.
16:27He's got off to six deal bags of coke, plus pocket money.
16:31Where's your cash?
16:32It's in it.
16:33It's pocket here.
16:34Yeah.
16:35Well, it's no dealing as well.
16:36I don't do no dealing.
16:37I work at the barbers.
16:39Holy haircut 100.
16:41You must be a whiz with the scissors.
16:43How much cash have you got on you, buddy?
16:45Quite a lot of cash, isn't it?
16:46That's not a lot of cash, because that's my barbering money.
16:50Given the coke, the cops have doubts about his barbering money.
16:55The time is 20, 25, and you're under arrest for possession-intensive supply.
17:00Yeah.
17:01Class A drugs.
17:02He's still trying to spin the amnesia about past dealings with cops.
17:06I've not been arrested like that before, though.
17:08Oh, you've been arrested now?
17:10Yeah.
17:11Yeah.
17:12Yeah.
17:13How many phones have you got on you?
17:14I just two.
17:15We just got personal phones, which you can check anyway, so...
17:18You got two?
17:19Yeah.
17:22And someone really wants a haircut.
17:24What's it?
17:25073.
17:26Incoming numbers make the useful intel.
17:27Yeah.
17:28And those wet shave appointments just keep on coming.
17:29These phones are very active.
17:30Yeah.
17:31It's not active because of the drugs.
17:32Hmm?
17:33It's not active because of the drugs.
17:34Hmm?
17:35It's not active because of the drugs.
17:36Right.
17:37It's cold, isn't it?
17:38I'm going to sit you back in the car, erm, and I'm going to sit you back in my car and
17:41I'm going to search your car.
17:42No.
17:43No.
17:44It's not active because of the drugs.
17:45Hmm?
17:46It's not active because of the drugs.
17:48Right.
17:49It's cold, isn't it?
17:50I'm going to sit you back in the car, erm, and I'm going to sit you back in my car and
17:55I'm going to search your car.
17:56No.
17:57I'm going to go.
17:58And that search...
18:00Oh my God.
18:01...turns up a whole lot of barbering money.
18:06An insane amount of cash.
18:12There's got to be thousands upon thousands in there.
18:16Got more cash here.
18:18He's also got a parking ticket so it's not a good day for him.
18:23He's not got much to smile about.
18:25Alex?
18:26Yeah?
18:27Does he need his tuggies?
18:28Does he what?
18:29Does he need his teeth?
18:30Yeah, please.
18:31Yeah.
18:32Yes, please.
18:33But at least he's got his pearly whites.
18:34Well, the plan won't be taking him to custody.
18:35So, yeah, it's going to be a long night for him.
18:40And he's not the only one.
18:41Because with the world's best barber checked into the North, Hans Hilton...
18:53It's blues, twos and high-speed driving for Josh and Alex.
19:00We're on our way to search of a property of the suspect who we've just locked up.
19:06The 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.
19:13So they might get whiff that he's been arrested.
19:16Therefore, they might go to the address to see if he's left any drugs or cash at the house.
19:22So time is off the essence for us now.
19:24We need to get to that address.
19:26And at warp five, that doesn't take long at all.
19:35I need seven. That's copy. Thank you.
19:37On arrival, they break the bad news to the barber's family.
19:45He's been arrested, so we've come in here to search his house.
19:48Can you show us his bedroom? Is that okay?
19:49Which one's his bedroom?
19:50Top of the stairs on your right. It's the one with the Class A drugs in.
19:56Jesus, I suppose in here, mate. Is it?
19:58Is it?
20:01And that's going to inset you.
20:02Wow.
20:06Crikey.
20:10It's obviously in this bag we've got quite a lot of suspected Class A.
20:13It's obviously what we're looking for.
20:15And that's just a starter.
20:17There's more.
20:19Wow.
20:20Jesus Christ.
20:21There's absolutely loads here.
20:23I've got thousands of pounds above the street value here.
20:26I've suspected Class A.
20:28So much.
20:30Jesus.
20:33This is incredible.
20:35Absolutely incredible.
20:37It's the Class A gift that keeps on giving.
20:41I've not seen anything like this in six years of policing.
20:49And we deal...
20:50We deal with a lot of drug crime.
20:52We arrest a lot of drug dealers.
20:54Every...
20:55I mean, there's another bag full.
20:57Thousands and thousands of pounds.
20:59I think it's going to be more.
21:02Yeah, it's just more.
21:03There you go.
21:04Thousands of pounds.
21:05This is just incredible.
21:07It's a really, really good result, this is.
21:09Absolutely.
21:11I've never seen anything like it.
21:14Never seen anything like it.
21:15It's an insane amount of drugs.
21:17Oh, look, there's more, isn't it?
21:19Just quickly, mate.
21:20We're at the 18.
21:21I'm not joking when I say this.
21:23There's about 500 wraps of coke in here.
21:27And that's at a minimum.
21:30Biggest job ever, mate.
21:31It's got to be the biggest job ever, mate.
21:33Has to be.
21:35This is massive.
21:37Massive.
21:38The guys can't wait to get back to the Knicks to tot up their hall.
21:46It's amazing.
21:50That's why we do the job.
21:55Tests confirm the drugs seized were indeed cocaine,
21:59with an estimated street value of £36,000.
22:04Cops also seized more than £8,000 in cash.
22:08The forgetful barber pleaded guilty to conspiracy
22:11to supply Class A drugs and possession of criminal property.
22:14He awaits his sentence.
22:18We've taken quite a big fish out of the game today.
22:21We want to rid our streets of these people.
22:24This product would have been sold to users,
22:26some of which are vulnerable.
22:28Some might have been given to children to deal.
22:31.
22:35Coming up.
22:37Stop not, stop by, I'm on ram major vehicle.
22:41Exit stage left, pursued by a dog.
22:42One ran up, one ran up.
22:44stopping a fail to stop
22:47and a blunt reminder
22:52that's come right through your engine
22:54not to sit on the fence
22:56if that had been another couple of inches higher
22:58if you're looking at being
23:00ailed by it
23:14it's the night shift
23:18and Dan Bradley Brophy
23:19is out in the verbs with police dog
23:22Cola
23:22interceptors are tracking a car with multiple markers
23:34resulting from intelligence
23:35gathered by other forces
23:37it's got a mark on it
23:41that it's been involved in
23:43throw-overs at prisons
23:44and also there's
23:46failed to stop
23:47for a number four
23:49throw-overs involve bad guys
23:52throwing things like drugs
23:53or phones over prison walls
23:55to be collected by inmates
23:57a recent op
23:59has cut throw-overs in half
24:01at Northampton's biggest prison
24:03he's curiously coming down the M1
24:05from I think Derbyshire
24:07and for some reason
24:09now popping up around Northampton
24:10and any car linked to them
24:13is a car of interest
24:14particularly one that has previously
24:17run from cops
24:18the traffic units
24:19is going to have a look for it
24:21and I'll say we'll go give them a hand
24:22just in case
24:23it should turn into a bit of a foul stop
24:25Dan's preferred patrol car
24:29is anything with a dog in the back
24:30so he's golden tonight
24:32but his dog van
24:34isn't the fastest ship in the fleet
24:36the plan is for speedier ARVs
24:42to get behind the target
24:43but
24:47that plan needs recalibrating
24:54as Dan spotted the Ford
24:56I think it's towards St Peter's way
24:58down about
25:00the dog man holds the Ford
25:02until the extra horsepower
25:04rides in
25:04there's multiple markers on this car
25:17so
25:17I think we should try and
25:20compliantly stop it
25:21rather than teapack it
25:22and then just see what reaction we get
25:23it's a plan
25:25but road drivers
25:27didn't get the memo
25:28don't try and squeeze your A in mate
25:30formation tightened
25:35it's time to test the water
25:37I'll stick the lights on
25:39they don't know who was driving it at the time
25:43but the Ford has form for failing to stop
25:45no compliance at this time
25:48and early signs are tonight's driver
25:52won't book that trend
25:53failing to stop the blues and twos
26:08the Ford slows to a crawl
26:09and a masked passenger
26:11pops out
26:11and takes off
26:12he's dropped something
26:16which he's risked going back for
26:18Dan and Kohler are going after the butterfingered runner
26:25two ARVs are going after the car he got out of
26:37which is running reds at a high rate of knots
26:41the ARV split up
26:45as the second car hammers the back streets
26:48trying to get ahead of their target
26:50firearms cops know these roads inside out
26:55but slowed by pedestrians
26:56and by traffic
27:01this one needs to go some
27:05but at the speed the runaway's travelling
27:15the back street shuffle proves a lost cause
27:18and they're still second fiddle to the lead car
27:24it's a high speed convoy
27:33as the runaway leaks two cars out of town
27:36and onto rural roads
27:37before suddenly
27:46throwing in the town
27:49hands out
27:57hands out
27:58hands out
27:59hands out
28:00hands out
28:02get your hand out
28:04hand behind your back
28:06get it behind your back
28:07now
28:07the driver's struggling
28:09mate get your hand behind your back
28:11do it now
28:12put your hand behind your back mate
28:14do it now
28:14get your hand behind your back
28:16Right, that's all you need to do.
28:18Come on, mate.
28:20Come on.
28:21Okay, pal, you're under arrest for dangerous driving and failed to stop at the minute.
28:25You don't have to say anything.
28:26May I'm defensive.
28:27Do not mention one question.
28:28So it was later on in court.
28:30As they get him to his feet, the driver looks fine for his struggle.
28:34Hey, you got any injuries or anything like that?
28:37Are you all good?
28:38You okay?
28:39It looks good though, yeah.
28:40As long as you're okay.
28:41I'm good.
28:42Here was your mate that ran on.
28:44What are you talking about?
28:46It's all on camera.
28:49It is indeed.
28:51But the driver doesn't seem to remember this guy bailing out of his passenger door.
28:56Look at that, brother.
28:58You don't know what we're talking about.
29:01Yeah.
29:02For what?
29:03Well, for firearm stuff.
29:05Where are you from?
29:07I was visiting my cousin from Northampton.
29:09I'm from London, sir.
29:10You're from London, sir.
29:11There were two others in the car when it was stopped.
29:13So I'm just going to search you now, all right?
29:15But a search of all three occupants and the vehicle reveals nothing dodgy.
29:19Yeah, steady, steady.
29:20The cops suspect the country drive was to draw them away and allow the decamping passenger
29:26to escape.
29:27Can I come in?
29:29If so...
29:30I've been moving quite quickly.
29:33It worked.
29:34Yeah.
29:35Just not my day forgetting that the car's been stopped and the driver's been arrested.
29:41It won't, however, prevent the man at the wheel of the car he left from facing driving charges.
29:46You've got a driving licence?
29:47Huh?
29:48Provisional?
29:49Yeah.
29:50Yeah.
29:51Have you got insurance?
29:52Yeah.
29:53It's a mobility source.
29:54Open insurance.
29:55Well, not for you.
29:56It's on a provisional licence.
29:57He's on a provisional and therefore unlikely to be covered by insurance.
30:01Just jump in there, mate.
30:02I'll give you a bit of leg room.
30:03Just jump in there.
30:04So no passenger but one in custody.
30:07And some suspicious wheels off the road.
30:10The focus that's been taken away now had markers from other forces in relation to being
30:16involved in drop-offs in prisons with drones.
30:19So using drones to drop drugs and other contraband into prisons.
30:23It also had some other markers about it failing to stop for police.
30:28So, yeah, it's nice to get that off the road.
30:31The driver of the runaway Focus, who forgot his fleeing passenger, was convicted of dangerous
30:37driving and driving without a licence or insurance.
30:41And he got a four-year suspended prison sentence.
30:54I saw the car pass me about 100 miles an hour.
30:56Alright.
30:57Interceptors attend more road traffic accidents than they'd like.
31:00Any injuries?
31:01They've seen all kinds of crashes.
31:03He's done a red light.
31:04Yeah.
31:05Laurie's flipped him and then he's made off.
31:07With all kinds of drivers.
31:09Because you've been involved in the collision.
31:10And you're currently under arrest.
31:12On suspicion of driving a motor vehicle whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol.
31:16But by far the most likely group to be involved in an accident.
31:20So you changed this tyre this morning?
31:21Yeah.
31:22I think that's the worst tyre I've ever seen.
31:24Are new drivers with no experience.
31:27I've got chunks out of this somewhere.
31:28I thought it was going to be easy.
31:29Yeah, wouldn't it?
31:30You learn to drive with an instructor, but you really learn how to drive when you're
31:36out doing it on your own.
31:37New drivers, no matter what their age is, don't know their limits or their capabilities.
31:42So, I'd say there definitely are more at risk of crashing.
31:49It's the early hours and Keith and Michael are in a hurry.
32:04Off the 8.45.
32:05Off the 8.45.
32:06Yeah.
32:07And it's the work road down to Wallersport.
32:09Yeah.
32:10Yeah.
32:11They're responding to an urgent call about an RTC.
32:14A car has come through a fence.
32:17Reports say a car crashed on a straight road with no other vehicle involved.
32:22It's supposed to be a dodger to me.
32:24Advanced driver, advanced motorcyclist.
32:27Michael's even got his HGV license.
32:30It's fair to say he can drive in a straight line.
32:34Well, how can you crash on a straight bit of road?
32:38Yeah.
32:39On the straightest road since Roman times, they approach the crashed car.
32:44Well, is it all right, Mr. Anthony?
32:47Step in X.
32:50Amazingly, driver and passenger walked away.
32:55Oh.
32:56Are you all right?
32:57Yeah.
32:58Who's the driver?
33:00I'm the driver.
33:01You've gone through one fence.
33:02Gone out and come back through another fence.
33:04Yeah.
33:05How are you going through that then?
33:07I was drinking my water and it wasn't paying attention.
33:09You was drinking your water and you wasn't paying attention?
33:11Yeah.
33:12So, because of that, we're obviously going to have to breathalise you.
33:15All right.
33:16Have you got an alcoholic drink today?
33:18Have you had any drugs at all?
33:20No.
33:21Okay.
33:22How old are you?
33:2317.
33:2417.
33:25When did you pass your test?
33:26Three months ago.
33:27Okay.
33:28So, would you suggest that probably it's your lack of skills behind the wheel?
33:33Yeah, probably awareness of it.
33:35Yeah.
33:36All right.
33:37True to his word.
33:38Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
33:41Fence killers had neither drink.
33:43Hope you're talking right now.
33:44Nor drugs.
33:45That's a negative on the drugs.
33:47But he's likely to face charges for his driving.
33:50Because of what you've done to your car, what you've done to the fences.
33:55Yeah.
33:56You're going to be reported for driving without you paying attention?
33:59Okay.
34:00All right.
34:01He should be relieved he's around to be reported at all.
34:04Have you seen the wood?
34:06No.
34:07You're a lucky boy.
34:09Well, where's the wood?
34:10Really lucky.
34:11The fence they crashed into is a pointed reminder to always pay attention at the wheel.
34:18Has it gone through the windscreen?
34:23Wow.
34:24That's come right through your engine bay.
34:25It's flying.
34:26If that had been another couple of inches higher, you'd be looking to be impaled by it.
34:33A fence post passed right through the engine bay and buried itself in the driver's seat.
34:39His legs must have been either side of it at impact.
34:43I'm actually unsure how that's missed him.
34:46This guy should buy a lottery ticket pronto.
34:48I've never seen anything like that before.
34:51Seasoned traffic cops Michael and Keith can't quite believe it.
34:54Oh, my God.
34:55That has gone right through the...
34:57Over the engine.
34:58Over the gearbox.
34:59Over the gearbox.
35:00Through there.
35:01Hello.
35:02So precise, isn't it?
35:03It's gone.
35:04Missed everything.
35:05Yeah.
35:06Including him.
35:07Somehow, the state missed the engine, the gearbox, and the drivers.
35:10Ba-ba-boom.
35:11Looking at that, he's come down here.
35:16Somehow, lost control.
35:18Clipped the kerb there.
35:20He's probably then overcorrected, hasn't he?
35:23That vehicle's all in all.
35:24So then that's clipped across.
35:25Clipped there.
35:26Over there.
35:27Yeah.
35:28So you can see wood in there as well.
35:31Where it's hit it, it's kind of there.
35:34Yeah.
35:35There.
35:36In there.
35:37Literally just destroyed the whole fence.
35:42And it seems the wood in the driver's seat isn't the only stake that stabbed the car.
35:48The engine bay looks like a game of kerplunk.
35:51He's punctured the sump.
35:53Really?
35:54Yeah.
35:55Even the engine itself was pierced.
35:57There's a stream of oil going through the grass.
35:59Yeah.
36:00I've showed you that where he's punctured the sump.
36:03And with the driver's dad on hand to see how close his son came to disaster.
36:07Because then you can see the oil all the way.
36:11Everyone can breathe a monster sigh of relief.
36:14I've seen these types of things where people are not coming up alive.
36:19So your son is a very lucky boy.
36:22Lucky boy's good fortune continued.
36:24And no further action was taken regarding allegations of driving without due care and attention.
36:30It's fair to say somebody up there likes him.
36:34I've been 17 years old and that bit of wood's missed him, well, missed him by centimetres, isn't it?
36:42Just amazing.
36:43Sounds pretty concerning at the minute.
36:55Coming up...
36:56A witness has seen a female being fought into a vehicle.
36:59All systems go after reports of a kidnap.
37:02We're going to head to that address as quick as we can.
37:05It's approaching midnight.
37:24It's approaching midnight.
37:2999, we're going to make a force on the front.
37:32We're up on 99, likewise.
37:34Richie and Harrison are racing to reach the scene of a worrying incident called in by the public.
37:39No witness has seen a female being fought into a vehicle.
37:43I've got limited details at the minute.
37:46Apparently you're screaming, take it off me.
37:48Probably could be treated as a potential kidnap.
37:51It could be as hard as nails, but Harrison's a family man with a soft spot for anyone in a tight corner.
37:57Sounds pretty concerning at the minute.
38:015-0-5-0 state car.
38:08Roger.
38:11The description of the car into which the girl was bundled is pretty vague.
38:16Yeah, I'm just trying to search on local cameras at the same time for anything that's sort of fits that description, sort of black in colour in a state car.
38:26And the plot thickens.
38:28ARV1 found a phone at the scene contains a bank card.
38:33Cops have found a phone where the suspected abduction took place, and a cash card with a teenage girl's name on.
38:4019 years old.
38:42Richie and Harrison come to a decision.
38:44We're not far off the address.
38:46We're grade one in there now.
38:48Roger.
38:49So ARVs have found a bank card for someone that's in a phone case by the looks of it.
38:59We've had a look on Nisha.
39:01We found a location that the potential female that's had some involvement.
39:06We've got to head to that address as quick as we can.
39:09They need to piece together the facts.
39:13If this is kidnapped, then the phone could be a victim's or a suspect's.
39:17Or the whole thing could be a mistake.
39:20Left left at the top.
39:22Either way...
39:24Right right at the end.
39:26The registered address of the girl on the bank card is a good place to start fact finding.
39:31Clear left.
39:34But before they get there...
39:35The female's turned up.
39:37Bank card girl returns to the scene in a black corset.
39:41And as soon as she's arrived with a friend to find her phone.
39:48Bit of a coincidence though, isn't it?
39:51With no grounds to detain, firearms cops at the scene have let the girl retrieve her phone and go.
39:57But Richie and Harrison have doubts.
40:00It's just a big coincidence, isn't it, from what I like on.
40:03It's a bit strange at the minute.
40:05There's...
40:06The vehicle...
40:07A person returned to pick the phone up from where this potential kidnap happened.
40:10And the car she left in isn't far away.
40:13It's this vehicle in front.
40:15They've been spoken to, but...
40:17Just trying to establish further details.
40:20They're convinced something doesn't add up.
40:25No, no, we're behind that car now.
40:27Might stop it again and give us further questions.
40:30And it's starting to shed a little blue light on the mystery.
40:45Hello there.
40:46I know you've just spoken to some of my colleagues, but can I just...
40:49Rather than be so safe, do you mind just stepping out of the car?
40:51Which I'll chat you there, please.
40:52Close to you.
40:57I don't know how much the officers told you earlier, OK?
40:59But I'm going to tell you maybe a little bit more than they have,
41:01because I want to bottom this out.
41:03Earlier this evening, right where your phone was found,
41:06there was reports of a female having some sort of argument with one or two males,
41:10and it looked to someone like they'd end up being pushed in the car.
41:14Is it possible that that was you?
41:16No.
41:19Richie's favourite TV show is The Traitors.
41:22And he'd be a damn hand in the castle.
41:25All it takes from Sergeant Lie Detector...
41:28..is a look.
41:30Just thinking it was a prank.
41:32Pardon?
41:33Yeah, it was a prank.
41:34So was it you?
41:35Yeah.
41:36So you just said...
41:37You said no.
41:38I need a straight answer here.
41:39What's going on there?
41:40It was just wrong.
41:41Tell you what, do you want to come and chat with me?
41:42Yeah.
41:43OK.
41:44So what happened?
41:46We were messing around.
41:47OK.
41:48Like, playing around.
41:50And I ran out.
41:51So I didn't like this.
41:52So we were just messing around.
41:53It was supposed to be a prank.
41:54So you've had an awful lot of police officers looking into this,
41:56because we think it looks like a suspected kidnap.
41:58So your prank's gone a little bit wrong in that sense, hasn't it?
42:00You see what I mean?
42:02I'm so sorry.
42:03That was not supposed to happen.
42:05They need to be sure she's not lying,
42:07out of fear for her safety.
42:09So you've got an opportunity to tell me something different here.
42:11Was it a prank or was it a little bit more serious?
42:13Oh, it's not anything.
42:14I'm completely fine.
42:15What happened in the prank?
42:16You tell me.
42:17What did you do?
42:18I just ran.
42:19I got out of the car and then I was running away as a joke.
42:21Who are you running away from?
42:23This man here?
42:24Is he partner, boyfriend, friend?
42:26He's a friend.
42:27OK.
42:28And who else?
42:29My other friend.
42:30Yeah.
42:31And what did they do to you as part of that prank?
42:33I jumped out as a joke and they came to chase me.
42:36Is that a thing on TikTok?
42:39Right.
42:40Yeah.
42:41I don't know if you've heard of it before.
42:42I don't do TikTok.
42:43So go on.
42:44What's it on TikTok?
42:45It's just like a trend.
42:47Is it?
42:48You run away.
42:49It seems they were trying to resurrect an old online trend.
42:53It's from years ago.
42:54Where folk uploaded clips of staged chases.
42:57Why do you run after it?
42:58Because you were just trying to be silly.
43:00I'm actually so sorry for wasting this.
43:02I didn't really...
43:03We've called out...
43:04Somebody's been called out to review some specialist CCTV.
43:07You weren't far away from instigating a major police operation.
43:11Your friend was also involved.
43:14Yeah.
43:15The third man.
43:16Is this him?
43:17Yeah.
43:18Can I talk to him?
43:19Yeah, you can talk to him.
43:20Hello?
43:21Hello.
43:22Hello there.
43:23It's the police.
43:24The third man's version of events checks out.
43:26Probably not the wisest of options.
43:29100% not.
43:31And the prankster three are innocent.
43:33Is this going to go on TV?
43:35I hope so.
43:36And it's going to go on TV.
43:37Look at my hair.
43:38It's always been gone properly.
43:39Even in pyjamas.
43:40It's not the hair.
43:41It's crocs.
43:42Yeah, I've got crocs on this roll.
43:44That should be a criminal offence.
43:46In the absence of the fashion police, no further action will be taken against the prankster three.
43:53Anyway, I'll let you two hopefully be the stars of a police intercept show at some point with your crocs and PJs.
44:00Wait, I watched this show.
44:01Yeah, there's one man.
44:02Yeah.
