Transcript
00:01Scott straight through the red line.
00:04He's got damage, David.
00:05Don't do that!
00:06Stay still!
00:08Derbyshire traffic cops.
00:10It does have warning markers for potential firearms.
00:15Don't hold it! You under arrest.
00:16Intent supply class.
00:17It took.
00:19Police a thousand square miles.
00:23It's a crash, crash.
00:25You got any other injury other than your head?
00:27With some of the UK's most dangerous roads.
00:30Oh, no one's been killed out of this.
00:32I don't know.
00:33Do you know how fast you were going?
00:34It's scary when stuff like this happens.
00:37In life and death situations.
00:39Get on the ground, you'll be tased!
00:41We've got runners.
00:43Place down.
00:45Yes, yes, successful stink.
00:49Around every corner.
00:51It's a great acting, mate.
00:54There's a new challenge for the traffic cops.
00:57Step out of the vehicle now!
01:00I'm going home.
01:01Stay led!
01:02Stop grabbing me like that!
01:06Crash, crash, crash!
01:10Coming up.
01:11Vehicle now failing to stop, failing to stop.
01:13Officers forced to pursue.
01:15Vehicle's now reversing, reversing.
01:18Standby.
01:19Drivers failing to stop.
01:20Get up!
01:21Get up!
01:22Get up now!
01:24It's now off-road, off-road.
01:26Who'll do anything to escape.
01:28Wrong side of the roundabouts.
01:30You're overtaking members of the public.
01:32You just need to find out about your car.
01:34You've been chased around South Yorkshire, Nottingham, Trindal, and it's absolutely wrecked.
01:38And suspects refusing to talk.
01:40I don't know where it is, so that's your problem.
01:42I don't know where it is.
01:58Received mate, thank you.
02:00Near Sheffield, PC Nick Lovett and officers from Derbyshire's rogue crime team are on burglary patrol.
02:07Attention.
02:21And have you seen us growing in Victor too?
02:23Go ahead.
02:25Yeah, current behind the vehicle.
02:26It's got a felt stop marker on it from Ekington.
02:29Back on the 4th.
02:31Audi A3 in black.
02:33Was initially travelling at speed.
02:34It was lit up by local officers where it's then failed to stop.
02:37The pursuits had to be aborted.
02:39The main reason we exist is to stop high-risk road users using the roads to commit crime.
02:46Our specialism is going out, finding those vehicles and getting them stopped and getting people locked up.
02:52I'm in a high-performance, unmarked vehicle pursuit management trained.
02:55I've got Oscar Amy Victor 4 with me.
02:58I'm waiting for Oscar Amy Victor 1 to arrive.
03:00The intention is to cause the vehicle to stop using preemptive tactics.
03:05We've done a massive loop from where we first picked it up.
03:10It's an offside indication.
03:14And it is a right, right, right station road towards halfway.
03:17What that vehicle's been involved in, whether that's been involved in burglaries, thefts from vehicles or theft of vehicles, we don't know.
03:26Bully your marks, you'll be able to get in front of it.
03:30Nick and two other units prepare to surround the car.
03:33There's always that risk that it may be aware of our presence and then fail to stop without being requested to stop.
03:42Yeah, as soon as this car goes, we're going.
03:44As soon as this car goes, we're going.
03:58And a Oscar Amy Victor 2 vehicle now failing to stop, failing to stop.
04:02Station road, can we get South Yorkshire on this channel, please?
04:06Pursuits are inherently dangerous by nature.
04:09Heavy braking, standby, standby, it's a left, left, left.
04:11You are continuously assessing the viability of continuing that pursuit.
04:22Across England and Wales, officers like Nick are involved in nearly 13,000 pursuits every year.
04:29Everything's got to be risk assessed and we've got to find that balance.
04:34So left, left, left, and the further left, left, left.
04:35Of continuing that pursuit to detain that driver against what risks that that driver's taking.
04:41Speed seven, zero.
04:42Speed seven, zero.
04:51It's now off-road, off-road.
04:57It is safe for me to continue.
04:59Standby, standby.
05:00No.
05:08It's total loss.
05:12To see that vehicle driving off and not to find the driver on the night is infuriating and frustrating, to say the very least.
05:20Oh!
05:28From an A, we've got a vehicle failing to stop, Frostitango 38.
05:31Can I just confirm when was last sighting, please?
05:33Currently got a vehicle failing to stop, A617.
05:35Failed to stop drivers are involved in around 40 deaths a year on Britain's roads.
05:46In any pursuit, we are continuously risk assessing.
05:51Local have had a vehicle fail to stop for them.
05:53Is the driver a juvenile? Is it school kicking out time?
05:56Is it travelling into a city centre, which is heavily populated at that time?
06:00Pursuit is authorised with the vehicles that you've got pursuit management trained over.
06:03All those things are continuously going through your head, and that is where you are continuously assessing the viability of continuing that pursuit.
06:1910-12, Tango 2-0. Vehicle failing to stop.
06:23CDW Golf and Silver.
06:25For Georgia.
06:27There's no sign of the black Audi, but within minutes, there's another pursuit.
06:30Speed at this time is 4-0. It's lights out. DRA is medium.
06:36Nick and other units are racing to back up PC John Terry.
06:40JT, I'm on Rotherham Road here. Can you give me a stinger sight?
06:44Yes.
06:46PC Craig Dawes is up ahead with a stinger.
06:48Stop by. It's straight on, straight on. It's going to be Mansfield Road, outbound towards Clown.
06:58Unfortunately, the vehicle chose to carry on and miss my stinger, which enabled me then to get back in the car and join the pursuit.
07:07DRA.
07:08It is. Left, left, left. DRA at this time is medium. No other vehicles on the road. No pedestrian activity.
07:20We're entering South Yorkshire sports area. It's a country road. I can't do any other options.
07:31Passing into the M1 motorway into a 3-0 at 7-0.
07:38You can never sum up the level of risk that these people will take.
07:43He's now playing with not just his own life. Everybody else that's in that area.
07:47Speed is 5-0 and a 3-0.
07:51Stand by. It's hard on the brakes. It's a right, right, right.
07:54Street bomb close. Stand by. It's going to be trying to ram me.
08:03Got at least two miles in the vehicle.
08:08Vehicle's now reversing, reversing. Stand by.
08:22I think it's all we need.
08:24Yes, yes.
08:26Still on Union Street. Vehicle's reversing down the road.
08:30There's at least three adult males within the vehicle.
08:38Slight contact with my vehicle. Safety continue.
08:44We're now Union Street. Still general direction of Kibberton Park.
08:48What's great, anything to do with you?
08:50Any update for MFAS or South Yorkshire resources?
08:55I'll ring him and discuss the helicopter directs.
08:58What's great, anything to do with you?
08:59We are left, left, left. On to Kibberton Lane. Stand by. It's going to be reciprocal.
09:11As the Golf driver makes a U-turn.
09:16That goes to Hard Lane.
09:18Nick takes the lead.
09:19And if we're off, we have it to now. Pursuit. Vehicle is Hard Lane.
09:30DRA is medium. Speed 76.
09:35Two through, I'm in the stick with them.
09:38Heavy on the brakes.
09:41Speed 52. DRA is low.
09:45We are lights out, lights out.
09:50Now light back illuminated. Speed 5-0.
09:56This is a single track road.
09:59Nick, can we get on to knots? This is going directly to them.
10:06DRA is medium. Overtaking member of the public. DRA medium. Back down to low.
10:11At the junction, it is straight over. DRA high. Back down to low.
10:20We are still lights off. We are stationed in road towards Whitwell.
10:25The Golf driver's now been failing to stop for over ten minutes.
10:29You are the driver. You are the comms operator.
10:33Relaying all the information to the other units that are coming to assist you.
10:37We are still lights out. We are into the nationals.
10:42So it is intense. There's a lot of information to be put forward.
10:46This is now unlit road. Lights are back illuminated on the vehicle. Speed 6-2.
10:52It can take quite a heavy toll on you. And it does become tiring at times.
10:57On the approach to the roundabout with Morrison. Standby. Wrong side of the road.
11:02It's now gone. Wrong side of the roundabout.
11:07And it is taking the second to second towards halfway.
11:15Coming up. We are now off-road, off-road.
11:17After a 45-minute pursuit.
11:20Get on the floor. Get on the floor.
11:22We didn't see where the other two went.
11:25Nick and the team are determined to make an arrest.
11:28We've certainly got people detained, but we don't know where they're involved.
11:32We're overtaking members of the public.
11:35And another fail-to-stop driver.
11:38Putting lives in danger.
11:40We're in the triangle, if you are listening.
11:42And that 18 failed to stop.
11:54We're now into the 40s.
11:58Lights are on red.
12:00And standby, standby.
12:02Here straight across, straight over, straight over on red.
12:05With dangerous criminal drivers responsible for nearly 13,000 pursuits every year.
12:10Speed 4-0 in the 30 and increasing.
12:14Managing the risks is a daily challenge for officers like PC Nick Lovers.
12:19DRA is low.
12:21No pedestrians, no vehicles.
12:23Outside Sheffield, police are dealing with their second pursuit within half an hour.
12:32Vehicle's going to try and go off-road.
12:34This type of criminality is happening week in, week out.
12:40We're now off-road, off-road, all over again.
12:44This criminality is, is rife.
12:47We are still going, we're still going.
12:50It is struggling off-road.
12:51It's hard to sum up the level at risk that somebody will take to get away from the police.
12:59They don't want to be caught.
13:00They don't want to be caught.
13:07Hello.
13:08I'm on the...
13:10...water talk greenway.
13:11Is that where I need to be?
13:13It's a total loss, total loss.
13:18Vehicle is a total loss, total loss, off-road.
13:20With Nick unable to continue, other units close by pick up the search for the gulf.
13:31Where are we?
13:32I don't know, mate.
13:34Yeah, it was...
13:35He said it's somewhere here.
13:36Go back that way.
13:40PC Craig Doors begins circling the area.
13:44Honestown, all units last sighted from where the new location is coming down towards Bexham Avenue.
13:50Three, six, and three, three are making towards you for an area of search.
13:54It's already there.
13:58Yeah, I've got the vehicle.
13:59There's a cut-through.
14:00Looks like they've runched back some houses.
14:14This is the vehicle that we've just been pursuing.
14:18They've decamped and gone up there.
14:21Probably gone down this road here and gone that way.
14:25You got a drone?
14:27You up?
14:28Yeah.
14:32With suspects on the run...
14:34N8 from 2-3, drones airborne N8.
14:37The M-pass, we are lifting the drone from Lyla.
14:42A police helicopter and a drone operator scoured the area.
14:47So we're just living the area now.
14:48We're units.
14:49Just trying to get...
14:51I think we've got a bit of a containment on.
14:54We've got dog units coming in the area.
14:55I'm struggling with a street name.
14:56Yeah, pass 3-1-3 right then.
14:59Police, dogs, don't show you now.
15:01Get in yourself, get up!
15:02Get up now!
15:03Get up!
15:04Get up!

15:14Hands on top of your head.

15:17One detained and bitten.
15:18We didn't see where the other two went.
15:19N8, Julian 6-0, 10-12.
15:20We didn't see where the other two went.
15:21N8, Julian 6-0, 10-12.

15:30One detained and bitten.
15:33N8, Julian 6-0, 10-12.
15:34We didn't see where the other two went.
15:36N8 at the moment, under arrest and suspicion of failed to stop undangering driving.
15:39If you don't say anything at the Mail of Defence,
15:44give you to make sure you don't request anything on the court
15:46and if you do, so never get evidence.
15:48The suspect claims he's a passenger and not the driver.
15:51that was long
15:53but we've literally gone
15:54through three counties
15:56in and out of Derbyshire God knows how many times
15:59that's two I've lost
16:01off road tonight
16:02at this point
16:05we don't know why the vehicle's
16:07failed to stop
16:07there's no sign of it being stolen
16:09there's no ignition damage
16:11whether he's drunk, drugged

20:40section 172 yeah we still need to put a phone through aren't we put a notice of intended prosecution
20:45yeah send up to him then it's up to him isn't it oh let's get out of here i know this yeah we'll do
20:51that um yeah yeah yeah coming up is definitely dangerous worst case scenario is he's not at either
21:03address and uh he's in the wind and we don't find him the search for the reckless golf driver
21:09continues and yet another dangerous driver we're in the triangle if you are listed refusing to stop
21:19for officers what are you running for
21:22vehicle's gonna try and go off road it's been four days since officers had a 45 minute pursuit
21:43with a volkswagen golf the vehicle is a total loss total loss off road
21:49hey two up there
21:55pc chris wells jackson has been given a lead on where the driver is staying
22:03so it's uh half three in the morning we're just off to do a
22:08attempted arrest for a gentleman that failed to stop a few nights back there's quite a few
22:17offences to lock this chap up for he's uh gone off road a few times as well
22:22gone through red lights etc so it's definitely a dangerous driving failing stop for police he's
22:31got no license not insured on the vehicle best case scenario is is it one of the addresses
22:37he comes quietly potential prison time worst case scenario is he's not at either address and
22:44uh he's in the wind and we don't find him chris's destination is across the border in sheffield
22:51it is very frustrating when people do get away but luckily we work quite well with the forces
22:58and we share that intelligence which gives us that advantage that we can get these people caught
23:02so
23:10Hello, I'm sorry to bother you, he's here, yeah, just come in then, is he here Luke?
23:40Yeah, where abouts is he? He's here, so just keep an eye. Alex, is that this address?
23:53There he is. Are you dressed?
23:57Yeah, I've said anything in my own defence, so you don't mention when I question something, but place the line on my court.
24:01Anything you do say, may be given in evidence, okay?
24:04Necessity for your arrest is for a prompt and effective investigation.
24:06What are you shouting at him?
24:10I'm not the one trying to stack the floor, aren't you?
24:11Who do you think you're f***ing to?
24:15And I ask a tango who's fun on.
24:17Man, where's my jumper?
24:19Just let you know, I've got one adult male in custody.
24:22We're going in a nice big luxury command vehicle over here.
24:25It's satisfying to know that even though you can't always get them on every occasion, it is just a matter of time.
24:34Eventually, they do get caught.
24:36I'll stick your belt on for you.
24:37Oh, chap.
24:52After a morning in the cells, the suspect golf driver is being dealt with by PC Craig Dawes.
24:58So, on the B6058 Kilomarsh, A618 Kilomarsh, Kilomarsh Lane, Woodall Lane.
25:09I had the task of reading the charges out to him, which involved every single road that he'd pretty much been on for 45 to 50 minutes.
25:18OK, on the issue of bail, I'm going to refuse bail on this occasion.
25:22Obviously, the actions in avoiding police at that time would lead me to believe that if bailed at this time, you're going to fail to see the calls and you may be flat on this.
25:31And also, to prevent your driving in the meantime, because I think you're a considerable danger to other road users.
25:38You've not been interviewed because the evidence is overwhelming placing you in the vehicle for those offenses, OK?
25:44That's why you've not been interviewed.
25:45I want to remind you of your heart's bringing in defense to you.
25:47Why haven't you been interviewed?
25:49You've not been interviewed because the officer who made the charge should have reviewed the case.
25:54It's that evidence against you is overwhelming that you can be placed in the car while those offenses are being committed as the driver.
26:01That's why you've not been interviewed, OK?
26:03Due to the quality of the footage we'd got, we've managed to get a great facial recognition of the driver.
26:09So, with that, it was deemed that we didn't need to interview him.
26:12And all of a sudden, that cockiness went from him and there was a little bit of panic on his face.
26:18So, that was brilliant.
26:19That was for us.
26:20The driver's being held on remand and may now be facing a custodial sentence.
26:25The next step for him now is straight from police custody, straight to court.
26:31And then it's for the court to decide what happens next to him.
26:34Any traffic units monitoring, they've got an assistance shout out in Derby City Centre if anyone can start making the way there.
26:51With the risks of pursuing dangerous drivers under constant scrutiny, teamwork is crucial for officers like PC Nick Lovett.
27:00In Derby, Nick's teammates need urgent backup.
27:30And Aeos, Gromeo, Victor 6, got vehicle failing to stop Derby.
27:36Stephen?
27:37Gromeo, I've got vehicle failing to stop the local units at Derby City Centre.
27:41If you've got any ops mobiles, please can start making their way to the area, to flood the area, find this vehicle.
27:46We've obliged.
27:47Nick and other units are seven minutes away.
27:49Got a dead end.
27:51Straight over at the crossroad.
27:52Speed 7-0, DRA medium, for overtaking members of the public, towards oncoming traffic.
28:02We're through that, DRA returns to low.
28:06Hey there, Scotty.
28:08We're in the triangle and that 18 failed to stop.
28:11DRA high as we're through the lights and it's a right, right, right.
28:14It's a temporary loss at this time.
28:26There you go.
28:27I don't know which way.
28:32Total loss.
28:34It's a total loss.
28:36Total loss.
28:37Units surround the area.
28:50Yeah, I've got this vehicle.
28:52And find the gulf abandoned.
28:54But with no sign of the driver, Nick leads the search for a suspect.
29:00We're going to go and try and find this individual, get him stopped and get him searched.
29:05I think you'll have gone on this industrial state here.
29:23If I'm honest.
29:26I swear to you.
29:27Are you there, Scotty?
29:41Hello.
29:43Give us a description of what the bloke's wearing.
29:47Obviously, we can only see it from the rear of the car, mate.
29:50What is it?
29:50He had, like, a big puffer jacket on.
29:52Definitely fit the hood.
29:54And he had some sort of pattern on.
29:56All right, Cap.
29:57Come here.
29:58Is it all right?
29:58Yeah, you.
29:59Come here.
29:59Good.
30:00Do you know him?
30:01Yeah.
30:02He's my friend.
30:02I've come to meet him.
30:03What are you running for?
30:05Coming to him.
30:05So, the only reason I'm asking, listen, listen, no reason I'm asking, we've had a failed stop
30:10with a car with somebody where a car's made off from one of our cops.
30:15Yeah.
30:16Yeah?
30:16You're running in the direction where we believe that the driver will have gone to.
30:21Okay?
30:21You match roughly the description I've been given.
30:25So, at this moment's time, I need to detain you to ask you more questions to establish whether
30:29you're involved or not.
30:31So, just put your hands out for me.
30:33I don't get that.
30:35Wait.
30:35No, no.
30:35Don't, don't think it.
30:37Don't.
30:37What are you pushing me for?
30:38Hey, don't.
30:39No, I'm not doing anything.
30:40Okay.
30:40You're asking, why?
30:41All I want to do is I want to make sure that you're not involved.
30:45You are running the direction as I'd expect you to.
30:48So, you're smoking and you're smoking alcohol.
30:51Don't, don't.
30:55I don't know what's going on.
30:56Why are you not putting me in the car?
30:58I've told you.
30:59I've told you.
31:00I've told you exactly.
31:04Just sit in there.
31:05Sit in there.
31:06Why should I sit in there for?
31:06Because, okay, you don't have to at the moment of time, but, okay, but it will be easier
31:12and you're out of public.
31:14So, just sit in there for me.
31:15We always want them to be detained safely and swiftly to allow them no time to be able
31:23to do anything.
31:25You are in exactly the same area as I would expect this person to be.
31:29You are wearing a puffer jacket, which has been described to me.
31:33Okay?
31:33So, at this moment in time, I believe you to be involved.
31:37So, if you don't, if you don't comply with this, I'll just nick you and put you in the
31:40car.
31:41At this moment in time, I want cops to come and make sure if you are involved or not.
31:45That's absolutely fine.
31:46Okay?
31:47Nick and the team suspect the man made off to conceal the evidence.
31:51It's because there's something in the vehicle, there's something on them that they don't
31:55want us to find and they know the outcome and they know the repercussions.
31:59What's his name?
32:01What's your name, mate?
32:02He won't give it.
32:03Yeah, okay, mate.
32:04But at this moment in time, what are we on?
32:07Half eight, you're under arrest, count suspicion of dangerous driving, failing.
32:11Might want to bag him as well.
32:13So, you do not have to say anything, but may harm your defence.
32:15You do not mention when questions to which you later rely on in court.
32:17Anything you do, somebody may be given the evidence.
32:18The rest is necessary to allow for prompting, effective investigation.
32:22There's a, mate, there's a phone going nuts in his pocket.
32:25Right, we've got this right on that, too.
32:26There you go.
32:28He's come, he's come running across here.
32:30As I've come down here, he's going more than that.
32:32More, more, more.
32:32And there was a bad here.
32:33More, more.
32:33As I've turned around, he said running past the van.
32:36He had stopped, so it's 14.
32:3814, very good.
32:39See, I have had a drink, but not enough to put you over the limit.
32:42Two, three.
32:43Just chucking in your seatbelt, mate.
32:45The suspect's avoided a drink-driving charge.
32:49Come on, then, chap.
32:50But still faces questions about other offences.
33:04Let's take a seat.
33:12You got a driving licence?
33:15You have.
33:16You're disqualified?
33:18No?
33:19Got insurance for the car?
33:20Yeah.
33:22Officers believe the man may be hiding drugs.
33:24Obviously, he's had a couple of minutes where things are probably...
33:32If I had to guess, things have gone out windows.
33:34But there's also a chance that because he's stopped and managed to get away from the car,
33:38that it could have almost gone into.
33:40I'd ask that we do a strip search for him.
33:43I've left this car.
33:44He's got his underwear.
33:46OK.
33:47You've been arrested before?
33:48As long as he's in the side pocket.
33:58Lots of evidence.
33:58anyone's safety and me
34:01made to defend so I'm authorised a strip search
34:04ok
34:04any other questions
34:07ok
34:09it's West 11
34:14there's no
34:16liking in people being
34:18taken in for strip searches and things but
34:20given where we know
34:22people will hide drugs, will conceal
34:24drugs, you know the tactics
34:26that we use
34:27are truly needed and truly warranted
34:30I suspect you might submit some of that
34:32drugs in your underwear
34:33I'm not going to take the chance of me grabbing it
34:35putting it in your mouth
34:36no drugs are found
34:39but the man may still face driving charges
34:42and you can stare
34:44all your light mate, it doesn't intimidate
34:46any of us
34:46coming up
34:50Craig faces a risky two wheel
34:54pursuit
34:54tears get off the bike
34:55no do not move
34:57and recovers a stolen moped
34:59I think you just brought the bike
35:00before its rider makes off
35:02near Chesterfield
35:22PC Craig Dawes is in an unmarked car
35:25following a suspicious motorbike
35:27Oscar Tango 23
35:29that should come back to a moped
35:32it's two up
35:34it's got no L-plates on it
35:38it looks like a smallish scooter
35:41it's not great
35:43and the information has just come back
35:45that this vehicle is believed to be a stolen moped
35:48in Derbyshire we're seeing a huge increase in mopeds and motorbikes being stolen
35:54one because of the ease of it
35:56two I think because there's so many around
35:58you know and people just going around looking
36:00and just stealing them
36:02my concern is he's driving quite erratic
36:04it's two up
36:05and the temperatures at the moment are in freezing
36:09as soon as you try to stop the bike
36:10the chances are he's going to go
36:12and possibly my action could cause him to come off
36:14or take extra risk that he wasn't doing
36:17it's very dangerous and it's quite risky
36:19yep from 2-3
36:21my plan will be at this time
36:23the following two is
36:24comes to a stop
36:26or er
36:27I get the opportunity to er
36:28to get out and grab him
36:30yes or received
36:31I have authorised pre-emptive stinger
36:33however if this vehicle is to fail to stop for officers
36:36be unlikely to be authorised for suit
36:37er capability of the bike
36:39received
36:40yep received thank you
36:42at the moment I've not got any other units around me
36:44so it's no use
36:45er
36:46putting the lights and sirens on
36:47because if it is stolen he's going to fail to stop
36:49a pursuit with the bike is probably
36:51one of the highest risks that we face
36:53er
36:54simply the fact that if they lose control
36:56they're coming off
36:57and put the extra weight of a pillion passenger on
36:59the likelihood is they're going to hit some thin
37:01or some one
37:02looking at it it doesn't look a
37:04a 23 plate bike to me
37:07it looks quite a
37:08an old one or
37:10it's not been kept in the best condition
37:12I realise he's not
37:15you know he's not paying attention to me at all
37:17he was too busy talking to his passenger
37:19if he's aware that that bike's stolen
37:22then he's not going to want to get caught on that
37:24with the rider distracted
37:26Craig seizes the chance to prevent a chase
37:29don't move
37:34yeah I know it's your missus
37:36get off the bike
37:37my first look
37:38get the engine off
37:39to stop him going anywhere
37:41no do not move
37:42do not make a trip run for it
37:43yeah yeah yeah
37:45will you bring my dad please
37:46me
37:48I think you just brought the bike
37:50yeah yeah no worries
37:51you know he's surrendering
37:52he's not going to try and ride off
37:54because I've still got hold of his helmet
37:55come taxi to my car
37:56and then everything's slow time now pal
37:58what do you get
38:00good lad
38:02I'm happy with his conduct
38:05he was quite compliant
38:07so that was a relief
38:08anything you do say
38:09may have given us
38:10do you understand that
38:10yeah
38:10is it your bike then
38:12I literally just brought it

38:35ok
38:36that bike's stolen
38:37hence why you've been grabbed like that
38:39alright
38:40I'm not going to matter like that
38:41you need to be having a chat with him don't you
38:44big chat
38:45and just waste it
38:46you'll think it'll be a bit dodgy on a 23 plate
38:49when it's smashed to bits like that
38:51to be fair I did
38:52but you know when he was telling me
38:53that old logbook were coming through
38:55and all this and that
38:56telling him he's bought off facebook
38:58and his mate's going to post a logbook

39:04and taking it
39:06how do you mate

39:31and he's wobbling all over
39:32it's minus 2 degrees
39:34I already know mate

40:10mate
40:10your dad's here
40:11he knows the score
40:12so
40:13what have you learnt from today
40:16not to buy bikes
40:19and also
40:20not to drive like them
40:21and also
40:22don't drive a bike
40:23because you haven't got a licence
40:24you've got no insurance
40:25you've got no help plates on
40:27and you're driving like
40:28if you pull me up in like
40:29a couple of weeks time
40:30I will otherwise
40:30right
40:31but just remember mate
40:32you were lucky
40:32them roads down there
40:33were atrocious
40:34and where you were going
40:35and losing it
40:35I thought
40:36we're in trouble here
40:37alright
40:37take it easy
40:38every year
40:45officers across Britain
40:47carry out over 8 million
40:49high speed response calls
40:51including pursuing vehicles
40:53that fail to stop
40:54most important job of the day
41:03a pursuit for us as traffic officers
41:06is probably one of the toughest
41:07incidents we deal with
41:08been another eventful one
41:10just another typical day
41:12on the roads of Derbyshire
41:14a daily occurrence for myself
41:15is to avoid pursuits
41:16no officer wants to get involved
41:18in a pursuit
41:18because of the dangers
41:19so I will do everything I can
41:21to bring something to a conclusion
41:23to get that vehicle stopped safely
41:25with no injuries to the occupants
41:27of the vehicle
41:28or the public
41:29you're continually forming a plan
41:31to try and do that
41:32that's my end of
41:33being on the road today
41:35Pursuits carry a certain level of risk
41:43that risk is highly dependent
41:46on what the fleeing driver is prepared to do
41:49and the risks that that driver is prepared to take
41:51we're always assessing
41:53and we're always managing that risk
41:55Derbyshire has specialist officers
41:58that can pursue vehicles
42:01can bring pursuits to a tactical resolution
42:03through either vehicle tactics or stingers
42:06to be able to bring these pursuits to a stop
42:10as quickly but as safely as possible
42:13unfortunately we do have to engage in a pursuit
42:16because it's a deterrent for others
42:17it annoys you at the lengths that people go to
42:20to try and get away from us
42:21you know going up the wrong side of roads
42:23going on pavements
42:24it's frightening
42:25you know these are innocent members of the public
42:27that's out there
42:28and don't deserve to be involved
42:30in anything that's going off like that
42:31In this episode
42:38Got at least two males in the vehicle
42:40The reckless golf driver
42:42involved in a 45 minute pursuit
42:44Straight over on red
42:45was remanded to prison by the courts
42:48the following day
42:48charged with dangerous driving
42:50failing to stop for police
42:52no insurance
42:53and no license
42:55At court he received a 12 month prison sentence
42:58and was disqualified from driving for 30 months
43:01Show me your hands
43:03Show me your hands
43:04Get on the floor
43:04Get on the floor
43:05The passenger
43:07bitten by a police dog
43:08received medical attention
43:10and was released without charge
43:12What do you mean to find out about your car?
43:15Car?
43:15Yeah
43:16It's been chased around South Yorkshire
43:17Nottinghamshire in Derbyshire
43:18and it's absolutely wrecked
43:19The vehicle's registered owner
43:20was served with a notice of intended prosecution
43:23for failing to provide details of the driver
43:25If prosecuted
43:27he could receive a fine of up to a thousand pounds
43:29There you are
43:30The driver who wouldn't answer any of the road crime team's questions
43:34has been summoned to court for dangerous driving
43:37failing to stop for police
43:38and no insurance
43:39Get off the bike
43:41No, do not move
43:43No action was taken against the young rider for any theft offences
43:47I think you just bought the bike
43:48Yeah, yeah, no worries
43:49But he was prosecuted for no license and no insurance
43:53and received a 140 pound fine
43:56and six points on his license
43:58What have you learnt from today?
43:59Not to buy bikes
44:00and also not to drive like that
44:02And I was going to evict to do
44:06Vehicle now failing to stop
44:07failing to stop
44:08And inquiries are ongoing
44:10in relation to the identity of the driver
44:12who failed to stop for Nick
44:14and went off road near the South Yorkshire border
44:17It's total off
44:47And I was going to evict to stop
