Short filmTranscript
00:00I believe y'all want to take them.
00:02Keep the streets safe.
00:09And battle 24-7.
00:13In the war on crime.
00:15Crash, crash.
00:18This is what it is, isn't it? We find them, we lock them up.
00:24Coming up.
00:27A seven tonner does a runner.
00:30He's trying to live on the police vehicles.
00:34Extreme rambling in the woods.
00:36Let's go, let's go, let's go.
00:38Come on, go down the 8-6, go down.
00:40And, this is incredible.
00:42Absolutely incredible.
00:44A drug haul for the ages.
00:47I have not seen anything like this in six years of precinct.
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, you're under arrest.
01:12Get on the floor.
01:13What?
01:14And in their rolling struggle with gangs who rob lorries.
01:17After all that.
01:19Bastards.
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 hot barrack at Watford Gap services.
01:44Hot barracks the national operation in relation to theft of load from HDVs.
01:53Lucy Scalthorpe is arriving at a lorry park after CCTV captured a theft in progress from an HGV.
02:07There's plenty of lorry drivers awake.
02:12Delta 17.
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.
02:18These so-called curtain siding jobs involve slashing the fabric sides of lorries to make off with the goods inside.
02:28You can see how often these get done.
02:31These 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.
02:44You all right?
02:46Okay.
02:47Okay, good.
02:48So, we've been called because maybe people cutting.
02:51Yes, 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.
03:01Maybe 30, 40 minutes back.
03:05Okay.
03:06All right.
03:07Rather than confront the men, he started his rig to scare them off.
03:11This park space is very dangerous, eh?
03:14Yeah.
03:15The culprits seem to be long gone.
03:16Okay.
03:17No problem.
03:19And you.
03:20But as Lucy returns to the road.
03:22Delta 17, I'm just joining the A14.
03:26News of another potential curtain side job.
03:29The sergeant's just been notified of a new set of plates for the cloned Iveco truck that
03:36we were looking for in relation to what barrack.
03:38But we've just had an activation in Northamptonshire, um, near to his services.
03:46Thieves 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.
03:58But we've just got to form some sort of plan as to how we're going to stop it.
04:02Because obviously it's, it's quite a large vehicle.
04:05They don't expect stolen goods on board.
04:08The priority is to get the lorry off the road to avert potential thefts.
04:11And the plan is to box it in with multiple cars backed by air support.
04:20The helicopter's above now.
04:26The target lorry, all seven plus tons of it, will take some stopping.
04:33They can be really dangerous.
04:35They've got a massive size and weight advantage over power vehicles.
04:40Yeah, it can be really risky.
04:45Lucy joins serious horsepower for the super heavyweight boxing.
04:56Every car in this convoy is a cop.
05:01And the four at the front face the biggest risk.
05:04Take one, take one, take one, take one.
05:07Because tactical pursuit and containment is go.
05:13Three cars surround the lorry.
05:16Box on, box on, box on.
05:18Now to slow down and drop a fourth in behind.
05:28But the lorry rams an armed response vehicle and brakes free.
05:31Oh my God.
05:32Bumper cars with a seven and a half tonner is understandably alarming for Sergeant Perry and his partner on the inside lane.
05:50As cars behind negotiate debris from their ram collie.
06:06At the sharp end.
06:09The unstoppable target leaves the A14.
06:13The vehicle is hop, hop, hop.
06:15Ferries Volvo is now the lead car.
06:16With a weight disadvantage of about six tons.
06:24Lock one, lock one.
06:29Lock two, lock two.
06:35The vehicle is taking the third, taking the third.
06:37The vehicle is still continuing down the A512.
06:44Posting red ATS.
06:46Wait.
06:47Neither blue nor red lights are stopping this lorry.
06:55The vehicle has taken a nice white flight down to the mill nuts straight.
07:00And there's no room to box it in here.
07:03The cops are running out of moves.
07:04Post the one from Leicestershire.
07:06Are 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.
07:16There's a bat on the search of nations.
07:18We keep our board on.
07:20As they race into a village.
07:22Just a bunch of the village.
07:24North Hans hands the bat on to Leicestershire.
07:28Oh my God.
07:29The cover weight.
07:31But with seven and a half tons of runaway hell-bent on escape.
07:34The cavalry looks pretty helpless.
07:39There's no way that anyone can get to this.
07:42Two counties of carps can't stop the runaway.
07:45Whose next move is the craziest of all.
07:47It's the wrong way down the carriageway.
07:52Don't follow me.
07:54The 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 track it on the right side of the road.
08:07Oh my God.
08:08The lorry is racing towards headlights up ahead.
08:14Interceptors are after a runaway lorry they suspect has been used in curtain side vents.
08:33It 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 up with this.
08:46Then made a crazy manoeuvre on Leicestershire's patch.
08:50Long way down the carriageway.
08:52Oncoming headlights are heading for the seven and a half tonne battering round.
08:56A 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.
09:11I shall now do it. Into the labour. Into the labour.
09:16Two men have bailed out.
09:18And as the pair make a break for it cops leg it across live lanes in pursuit.
09:29The runners have cleared a fence and dropped into the woods.
09:33Get the door! Get the door!
09:35Somebody go down!
09:37Two 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! Go down!
09:47Go down!
09:49It's dense woodland.
09:51But the eye in the sky sees all.
09:53They're passing into the bushes.
09:55They're going towards the housing estate.
09:59Led by the chopper, they're closing in.
10:04North side is a high fence.
10:05We're trying to get 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.
10:14Spill up the A6 side.
10:16Just when it looks like the pair are in the net.
10:19Yeah, perhaps we've lost sight of them now in the bushes.
10:23They pull a vanishing trick.
10:25They've not come out.
10:26But they can't hide for long.
10:28I've got them again.
10:29Back officer, stop, stop, stop.
10:31On your left hand side now, immediately on your left,
10:34as far as you can go into the woodland.
10:36The net's tightening now.
10:37So you've got the out way.
10:38When you get to the fence, turn left.
10:39And that'll take you towards the second officer.
10:40They'll stay where you are.
10:41They're directly in front of you.
10:42They'll stand against the fence.
10:43Led from above, Leicestershire units are bang on target.
10:49Both men are soon in cuffs.
10:52Ready for a ride to the neck.
10:53Cops achieve their goal of taking a cloned lorry with suspected links to curtain siding off the road.
10:56Any potential thefts from the lorry park earlier in the evening were also for the first time.
11:03Both men are soon in cuffs.
11:06Ready for a ride to the neck.
11:10Cops achieve their goal of taking a cloned lorry with suspected links to curtain siding off the road.
11:21Any 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.
11:38Another night, another shot across the bows in an endless battle with suspected curtain siders.
11:44Six thoughts, failing to stop, failing to stop.
11:51As dramatic as life as an interceptor can be...
11:54Police! Stop it now! Stop it now!
11:56The biggest jobs...
12:01Get out of the car! Get out of the car now!
12:05...aren't always the loudest.
12:07So, 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.
12:31We're going to patrol the area for a little while and see what we can find.
12:33It'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.
12:46When the only car on the road triggers their collective spidey sense.
12:50When you've got cars with blacked-out windows going to the sea like this,
12:56it's always good to run them through the box so 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?
13:08Yeah, let's put it in my ass. Let's give it a tug, see what he's doing.
13:11Well, he's doing.
13:21Hello, guys. Hello.
13:24Hello.
13:26Yeah, are you driving last time, yeah?
13:27Yeah.
13:28Do you live here?
13:31No, no, he's got my friends.
13:32Huh?
13:33No, he's got my friends.
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 licence,
13:44the other looks for clarity.
13:46That's clarity.
13:48Huh?
13:50But there are more questions than answers.
13:53How do you know him?
13:56We drink sometimes, together, beer.
13:59You drink beer together?
14:00Yeah, yeah, we do.
14:01Drinking buddies, then.
14:02How do you know each other, though?
14:03Have you met?
14:05Now we work together.
14:07Or work colleagues.
14:09How old 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 ever been stopped by the police before?
14:23No, not really.
14:24Just for that speeding.
14:25That's it.
14:26Sorry, my friend.
14:27I'm gonna go grab cigarettes and come back to you, yeah?
14:30You stay here for a sec.
14:31Stay here.
14:32Alright, yeah.
14:33Just gonna check you through our system, but okay.
14:35Yeah, yeah, yeah, sir.
14:37While Alex runs him through,
14:39Josh jolks 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...
14:46That was a long, long time ago.
14:48Easily forgotten.
14:49A couple of years ago, isn't it?
14:51You're good.
14:52You're good to go.
14:53Can I go back?
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.
15:06His drinking buddy-cum-work colleague, on the other hand,
15:09Moment of time, mate, you are going to be saying under section 23, Mr Jugs Act.
15:12Yeah.
15:13Okay, do you understand that?
15:14Yeah.
15:15Cool.
15:16Put your hands on your phone for me, please.
15:17They're going to search him and his golf.
15:18Is your car unlocked for my friend, yeah?
15:20No, let me unlock it, then.
15:22Because it seems he's forgotten quite a lot.
15:25The grounds for the 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.
15:33Okay?
15:34You have met up with a lad much older than you.
15:36Yeah.
15:37Okay?
15:38And you both told me different stories while you're meeting with each other.
15:40Okay.
15:41You 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.
15:50Okay?
15:51Do you understand?
15:52Yeah, definitely.
15:53So you're here?
15:54Yeah.
15:55What's up with you?
15:56Nothing, nothing.
15:57Why don't you keep moving around, then?
15:58I don't know.
16:00Are we going to find anything, fellas?
16:01You might as well be honest with us.
16:02Yes.
16:03Just a couple of bags of wraps.
16:05That's it.
16:06Wraps of what?
16:07Just cocaine.
16:08Wraps of cocaine?
16:09Yes.
16:10Whereabouts today?
16:11In my pocket here.
16:12In your pocket?
16:13Yep.
16:17That's all.
16:18Anything else in the car, chap?
16:20No, that's it.
16:21Just cash.
16:22That's it.
16:23Where's the cash?
16:24We've come to a party.
16:25Just about six person in use.
16:26That's it.
16:28He's got off to six deal bags of coke, plus pocket money.
16:31Where's your cash?
16:33In your pocket here.
16:34Yeah.
16:35Well, there's no dealing as well.
16:37I don't do no dealing.
16:38I work at the barbers.
16:40Holy haircut 100.
16:42You 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?
16:47That's not a lot of cash, because I've got 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.
17:05I've not been arrested like that before, though.
17:08Oh, you've been arrested now?
17:09Yeah.
17:10Yeah.
17:11Yeah.
17:12Yeah.
17:13How many phones have you got on you?
17:14Two.
17:15We've got personal phones, which you can check anyway, so...
17:18You've got two?
17:19Yeah.
17:20Two.
17:21Three.
17:22And someone really wants a haircut.
17:25Two.
17:26Two.
17:27Zero.
17:28Seven.
17:29Three.
17:30Incoming numbers make the useful intel.
17:31Yeah.
17:32And those wet shave appointments just keep on coming.
17:38These phones are very active.
17:40Yeah.
17:41It's not good for the drugs.
17:45Hm?
17:46It's not good for the drugs.
17:48Right.
17:49It's cold, isn't it?
17:50I'm going to sit you back in the car.
17:52Erm, and I'm going to sit you back in my car and I'm going to search your car.
17:56No.
17:57Okay?
17:58On your head.
17:59And that search...
18:04Oh, my God.
18:06Turns up a whole lot of barbering money.
18:10An insane amount of cash.
18:13There's got to be thousands upon thousands in there.
18:16He's got more cash here.
18:20He's also got a parking ticket, so it's not a good day for him.
18:23He's not got much to smile about.
18:29Alex?
18:30Yeah?
18:31Does he need his taggers?
18:32Does he what?
18:33Does he need his teeth?
18:35Yeah, please.
18:36Yeah.
18:37Yes, please.
18:38But at least he's got his pearly whites.
18:40Well, the plan won't be taking him to custody.
18:42So, yeah, it's going to be a long night for him.
18:48And he's not the only one.
18:50Because with the world's best barber checked into the north, Hans Hilton...
18:54Oh.
18:56...it's blues twos and high-speed driving for Josh and Alex.
19:00We're on our way to a search of a property of the suspect who we've just locked up.
19:07The reason why we're going on our blues twos is because we've got intelligence to believe that his friends have been calling up on his mobile phone,
19:14so they might get with 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.
19:42On arrival, they break the bad news to the barber's family.
19:46He's been arrested, so we've come in here to search his house.
19:48Can you show us his bedroom? Is that okay?
19:50Which one's his bedroom?
19:52Top of the stairs on your right. It's the one with the Class A drugs in.
19:57Jesus, there's loads in here, mate.
19:58Yeah.
20:02Let's get it in situ.
20:03Wow.
20:07Crikey.
20:08So, obviously, in this bag we've got quite a lot of suspected Class A.
20:14It's obviously what we're looking for.
20:16And that's just the starter.
20:18There's more.
20:20Wow.
20:21Jesus Christ.
20:22There's absolutely loads here.
20:24It's got thousands of pounds of street value here.
20:26Suspected Class A.
20:28There's just so much.
20:30Jesus.
20:32This 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.
20:55Every...
20:56I mean, there's another bag full.
20:58Thousands 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.
21:12I've never seen anything like it.
21:14Never seen anything like it.
21:16That's an insane amount of drugs.
21:17Oh, look.
21:18There's more, isn't there?
21:19Just quickly, mate.
21:20We're at the 18.
21:22I'm not joking when I say this.
21:24There's about 500 wraps of coke in here.
21:28And that's at a minimum.
21:30Biggest job ever, mate.
21:31It's got to be the biggest job ever.
21:33It has to be.
21:36This is massive.
21:38Massive.
21:41The guys can't wait to get back to the Knicks
21:43to tot up their hall.
21:46It's amazing.
21:50That's why we do the job.
21:56Tests 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.
22:07The forgetful barber pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply class A drugs
22:12and possession of criminal property.
22:15He awaits his sentence.
22:17We'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,
22:27some of which are vulnerable.
22:29Some might have been given to children to deal.
22:30To deal.
22:35Coming up.
22:36Stop by, stop by.
22:37I'm on the subject vehicle.
22:40Exit stage left.
22:41Pursued by a dog.
22:43One runner, one runner.
22:45Stopping a fail to stop.
22:48Get your hand behind your back!
22:50Do it now!
22:51And a blunt reminder.
22:53That's come right through your engine, babe.
22:55Not to sit on the fence.
22:57If that had been another couple of inches higher,
22:59you'd be looking at being entailed by it.
23:01Keep quiet.
23:17It's the night shift,
23:19and Dan Bradley Brophy is out in the burbs with police dog Kohler.
23:24Just when he's travelled down from West Yorkshire this evening
23:28through left of Shere, then on towards.
23:32Interceptors are tracking a car with multiple markers,
23:35resulting from intelligence gathered by other forces.
23:38For focus, ST in black.
23:41It's got a marker on it that it's been involved in throw-overs at prisons
23:45and also has failed to stop for another fort.
23:50Throw-overs involve bad guys throwing things like drugs or phones
23:55over prison walls to be collected by inmates.
23:58A recent op has cut throw-overs in half at Northampton's biggest prison.
24:04He's curiously come down the M1 from, I think, Darbyshire
24:08and, for some reason, now popping up round Northampton.
24:11And any car linked to them is a car of interest,
24:15particularly one that has previously run from cops.
24:18The traffic units are going to have a look for it, and I think we'll go give them a hand
24:23just in case it should turn into a bit of a foul stop.
24:27Dan's preferred patrol car is anything with a dog in the back.
24:30So he's golden tonight.
24:31But his dog van isn't the fastest ship in the fleet.
24:39The plan is for speedier ARVs to get behind the target.
24:43Uh, where are they?
24:45Right there, no.
24:47But...
24:49That plan needs recalibrating as Dan spotted the Ford.
24:56I think it's towards St Peter's Way.
24:59Uh, roundabout.
25:01The dog man holds the Ford until the extra horsepower rides in.
25:05There's multiple markers on this car, so, uh, I think we should try and compliantly stop it,
25:21rather than team pack it and then just see what reaction we get.
25:24It's a plan, but road drivers didn't get the memo.
25:29Don't try and squeeze your A in, mate.
25:30Formation tightened, it's time to test the water.
25:38I'll stick the lights on.
25:41They don't know who was driving it at the time,
25:43but the Ford has form for failing to stop.
25:46Uh, no compliance at this time.
25:50And early signs are tonight's driver won't book that trend.
25:55I see a corner there, so I'll stop.
25:56Yes, I'll stop.
25:59It's not going to get the memo left to get away.
26:01Stand by.
26:02One runner, one runner.
26:06Failing to stop the blues and twos, the Ford slows to a crawl
26:10and the masked passenger pops out and takes off.
26:14Down in the park, one runner.
26:16He's dropped something, which he's risked going back for.
26:20The car's off.
26:23Bound stopped. Bound stopped.
26:24Dan and Kohler are going after the butterfingered runner.
26:26Head fast, please. We're far at road now.
26:30Left, left, left.
26:32Welford road, Welford road.
26:34Two ARVs are going after the car he got out of,
26:39which is running reds at a high rate of knots.
26:42the 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
26:54inside out
26:55but slowed by pedestrians
26:57and by traffic
27:01this one needs to go some
27:12but at the speed the runaways traveling
27:15the back street shuffle proves a lost cause
27:18and they're still second fiddle to the lead car
27:25it's a high speed convoy as the runaway leaks two cars out of town
27:36and onto rural roads
27:37before suddenly
27:46throwing in the towel
27:49hands out
27:57hands out
27:58hands out
27:59hands out
28:00hands out
28:02get your hands out
28:04get your peel on your back
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
28:16that's all you need to do
28:18that's all you need to do
28:18come on mate
28:20come on
28:21okay pal you're under arrest for dangerous driving
28:23and failed to stop at the minute
28:25you don't have to say anything
28:26you're mad defensive
28:26do not mention when questioned
28:27so it was later on in court
28:29as they get him to his feet
28:31the driver looks fine for his struggle
28:34you got any injuries or anything like that
28:37are you all good
28:37you okay
28:38this looks good though yeah
28:39as long as you're okay
28:40i'm good
28:41here was your mate that ran on
28:43it's okay
28:44it's all on camera
28:47it is indeed
28:50but the driver doesn't seem to remember
28:52this guy bailing out of his passenger door
28:55there were two others in the car when it was stopped
29:12so i'm just going to search you now
29:14all 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
29:24and allow the decamping passenger to escape
29:27can i come in
29:29if so
29:30i've been moving quite quickly
29:33it worked
29:34yeah just not my day for getting in
29:37that the car's been stopped and the driver's been arrested
29:40it won't however prevent the man at the wheel of the car he left
29:44from facing driving charges
29:46you've got a driving license
29:47huh
29:48provisional
29:49yeah
29:51have you got insurance
29:52yeah
29:52he's on a provisional
29:57and therefore unlikely to be covered by insurance
30:00just jump in there mate
30:01i'll give you a bit of leg room
30:03just jump in there
30:03so no passenger but one in custody
30:06and some suspicious wheels off the road
30:09the focus has been taken away now
30:12uh... had markers from other forces in relation to being involved in uh... drop-offs in prisons with drones so using drones to drop drugs and other contraband into prisons
30:22um... the... he also had some other uh... marks about it failed and stopped for police
30:27so um... yeah it's nice to get that off the road
30:30the driver of the runaway focus who forgot his fleeing passenger was convicted of dangerous driving and driving without a license or insurance
30:40and he got a four-year suspended prison sentence
30:44i saw the car to pass me about 100 miles an hour
30:55oh right
30:56interceptors 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
31:05yeah
31:05lorry's flipped him
31:06then 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 tire this morning
31:21yeah
31:22that's the worst tire i've ever seen
31:24are new drivers with no experience
31:27it's got chunks out of the shore
31:28it's actually been easy
31:29you learn to drive with an instructor but you really learn how to drive when you're out doing it on your own
31:37new drivers no matter what their age is don't know their limits or their capabilities
31:43so i'd say they definitely are more at risk of crashing
31:50yeah
32:00yeah push to it
32:01it's the early hours and keith and michael are in a hurry
32:05off the 8.45
32:06yeah and it's the work road down to water
32:09yeah
32:10yeah
32:11they're responding to an urgent call about an RTC
32:14car has come through a fence
32:16reports say a car crashed on a straight road with no other vehicle involved
32:22sounds a bit dodgy to me
32:24advanced driver advanced motorcyclist
32:27michael's even got his HGV licence
32:30it's fair to say he can drive in a straight line
32:34how can you crash on a straight bit of road yeah
32:38yeah
32:39on the straightest road since roman times they approach the crashed car
32:44well
32:45it's an alright mess with that ain't it
32:47steppin' heck
32:49amazingly driver and passenger walked away
32:54oh
32:55are you alright
32:56yeah
32:57yeah
32:58yeah
32:59who's the driver
33:00i'm the driver
33:01you've gone through one fence
33:02gone out and come back through another fence
33:03yeah
33:04bravo
33:05hi
33:06i was drinking my water
33:07right
33:08triple a
33:09you was drinking your water
33:10and you wasn't paying attention
33:11yeah
33:12so because of that
33:13we're obviously going to have to breathalyze you
33:15ok
33:16have you had an alcoholic drink today
33:1720 people tagging drive and water
33:19have you had any drugs at all
33:20no
33:21ok
33:22how old are you
33:2317
33:2417
33:25when did you pass your test
33:263 months ago
33:27ok
33:28so would you suggest that probably it's your lack of er
33:30skills behind the wheel
33:32yeah
33:33probably awareness of
33:34yeah
33:35alright
33:36true to his word
33:37keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going
33:41fence killers had neither drink
33:42hope you're talking right now
33:43nor drugs
33:45that's a negative on the drugs
33:47but he's likely to face charges for his driving
33:50because er
33:52of what you've done to your car
33:54what you've done to the fence is
33:55yeah
33:56you're going to be reported for driving without you paying attention
33:58ok
33:59alright
34:00he 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
34:17has it gone through the windscreen
34:19wow
34:23that's come right through your engine bay
34:26it's flying
34:27if that had been another couple of inches higher
34:29you'd be looking to be impaled by it
34:32a fence post passed right through the engine bay
34:35and buried itself in the driver's seat
34:38his legs must have been either side of it at impact
34:42i'm actually unsure how that's missed him
34:45this guy should buy a lottery ticket pronto
34:48i've never seen anything like that before
34:50seasoned traffic cops michael and keith can't quite believe it
34:54oh my god that's gone right through the
34:57over the engine
34:58over the gearbox
34:59through there
35:00so precise isn't it
35:02it's gone missed everything
35:03yeah including him
35:04somehow the state missed the engine
35:07the gearbox
35:08and the drivers
35:09ba ba boom
35:10looking at that he's come down here
35:15somehow lost control
35:17clipped the kerb there
35:19he's probably then overcorrected hasn't he
35:22but then that's clipped him across
35:25over there
35:27so you can see
35:29wood in there as well
35:30where he's hit it
35:31it's kind of
35:33there
35:34yeah
35:35there
35:36in there
35:37literally just
35:39destroyed the whole fence
35:42and it seems the wood in the driver's seat
35:44isn't the only stake that stabbed the car
35:48the engine bay looks like a game of kerplunk
35:51punctured the sump
35:52really?
35:53yeah
35:54even the engine itself was pierced
35:56there's a stream of oil going through the grass
35:58yeah
35:59i've showed you that
36:00where he's
36:01yeah
36:02punctured the sump
36:03and with the driver's dad on hand to see how close his son came to disaster
36:07then you can see the oil
36:09all the way
36:11everyone can breathe a monster sigh of relief
36:14i've seen
36:15these types of things
36:16where people are not coming out
36:18alive
36:19so your son is a very lucky boy
36:22lucky boy's good fortune continued
36:24no further action was taken regarding allegations of driving without due care and attention
36:30it's fair to say somebody up there likes him
36:33i've been 17 years old
36:35and
36:36that bit of wood's missed him
36:37well
36:38missed him by
36:40centimetres isn't it
36:41just amazing
36:42sounds pretty concerning at the minute
36:54coming up
36:55a witness has seen a female being forced into a vehicle
36:59all systems go after reports of a kidnap
37:02we're gonna head to that address as quick as we can
37:05it's approaching midnight
37:24it's approaching midnight
37:28it could be as hard as nails but harrison's a family man with a soft spot for anyone in a tight corner
37:56sounds pretty concerning at the minute
38:03five door five feet of state car
38:06roger
38:11the description of the car into which the girl was bundled is pretty vague
38:15yeah i'm just trying to search from local cameras at the right at the same time
38:19um for anything that's sort of fits that description sort of black in colour in a state car
38:25and the plot thickens
38:27ARV1 found a phone at the scene
38:31and a bank card
38:32cops have found a phone where the suspected abduction took place
38:36and a cash card with a teenage girl's name on
38:3919 years old
38:41richie and harrison come to a decision
38:43we're not far from the address
38:46we're grade one in there now
38:47how are you?
38:50so ARV's have found a bank card for someone
38:54that's in a phone case by the looks of it
38:58we've had a look on Nisha
39:00we found a location that a potential female that's had some involvement
39:05we're gonna head to that address as quick as we can
39:08they need to piece together the facts
39:12if this is kidnapped
39:14then the phone could be a victim's or a suspect's
39:17or the whole thing could be a mistake
39:20uh... left 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
39:31clearly
39:33but before they get there
39:35female's turned up
39:37bank card girl returns to the scene in a black corset
39:41and has set up
39:43she's arrived with a friend to find her phone
39:48bit of a coincidence though innit
39:50with no grounds to detain
39:52firearms cops at the scene have let the girl retrieve her phone and go
39:56but richie and harrison have doubts
39:59it's just a big coincidence isn't it for my life
40:02it's a bit strange at the minute
40:04there's
40:05there's
40:06a person returned to pick the phone up when 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 can't establish further details
40:20they're convinced something doesn't add up
40:23no no we're behind that car now
40:27might stop it again and give us further questions
40:30and it's time to shed a little blue light on the mystery
40:44hello there
40:45i know you've just spoken to some of my colleagues but can i just rather than be so so it's safe
40:49do you mind just stepping out in the car which i'll check you there please close to you
40:56um i don't know how much the officers told you earlier okay but i'm going to tell you maybe a little bit more than they have because i want to bottom this out
41:02earlier this evening uh right where your phone was found there was reports of a female having some sort of argument with one or two males
41:10and it felt it looked to someone like they'd end up being pushed in the car
41:14is it possible that that was you
41:16no
41:17richie's favorite tv show is the traitors
41:21and he'd be a damn hand in the castle
41:23all it takes from sergeant lie detector
41:27is a look
41:29just thinking it was a prank
41:31pardon
41:32yeah it was a prank
41:33so was it you
41:34yeah yeah yeah

41:50so i didn't like this song
41:51we were just messing around
41:52it was supposed to be a prank
41:53so you've had an awful lot of police officers looking into this
41:55because we think it looks like a suspected kidnap
41:57so your prank's gone a little bit wrong in that sense hasn't it
42:00you see what i mean
42:01i'm so sorry that was not supposed to pop on
42:04they need to be sure she's not lying out 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 i'm completely fine

42:57because you were just trying to be silly
42:59i'm actually so sorry for wasting this i didn't remember
43:02we've called out somebody's been called out for to review some specialist cctv
