00:01Scott straight to the red line.
00:04He's got damage.
00:05He's got damage.
00:06Don't do that!
00:07Stay still!
00:08Derbyshire traffic cops.
00:10It does have warning markers for potential firearms.
00:15Don't hold it!
00:16You're under arrest.
00:17Intent supply class.
00:18It's up.
00:19Police a thousand square miles.
00:23It's a crash, crash.
00:25You've 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 we're going?
00:34It's scary when stuff like this happens.
00:36In life and death situations.
00:39Get on the ground, you'll be tainted!
00:41We've got runners.
00:42Face down.
00:45Yes, yes, successful stink.
00:49Around every corner.
00:51Great acting, mate.
00:54There's a new challenge
00:55for the traffic cops.
00:57They're buying a vehicle now!
01:00I'm going home.
01:01Stay led!
01:02Stop grabbing me like that!
01:06It's crash, crash, crash!
01:08Coming up.
01:09Going for it.
01:10N8, vehicle is failing to stop.
01:13Unlicensed drivers.
01:14Have you got a license?
01:15I'm disqualified?
01:16Yeah.
01:17I thought as much.
01:19Banned from the roads.
01:20Why is this all my fault when you're the one who's driving?
01:23Risking lives to get away.
01:26Speed is in excess of one five zero.
01:30And angry suspects.
01:32If you're taking my car, I want to go away.
01:33I am taking your car, right?
01:36With something to hide.
01:38Stop there. Turn around. Turn around.
01:39What are your hands for behind your back?
01:40What are your hands for behind your back?
01:54Horrendous weather.
01:59This job came to us by enough.
02:02Alex, I'll do the turn around at Junction 2 and come back towards you in case it comes into the city.
02:09Yeah, I'll shoot.
02:13Near Derby, traffic cops Andy Swift and Alex Head are on the hunt for a black BMW.
02:19It's a disqualified driver, mate, off our briefing.
02:24It's an X5, I think it is.
02:25I'll sit after the second bridge, mate.
02:27Wait here then.
02:29If you get, if you see it, mate, and sight it, I'll just come out behind you, mate and join.
02:35Yeah, don't worry.
02:37There's a disqualified driver on the motorway that someone's reported.
02:41So we're just going to wait for it to come past because we think it's going to be coming back up north.
02:44And then if it is, we shall try and stop it.
02:50On average, more than 7,000 disqualified drivers are caught on the roads every year.
02:59It's our job to go after these people and we want to stop these people, especially repeat offenders.
03:02Control tracks the BMW on police cameras.
03:10That's it, that's it, it's hit.
03:12The target is a man known for disqualified driving and also has convictions for assault and speeding.
03:19It's a driver I know because it's somebody I'd stopped five months ago.
03:26With the vehicle sighted, Alex is already in pursuit behind Andy.
03:30Yes, yes. Very shortly, contact, contact with that vehicle. Standby.
03:31Yes, yes. Very shortly, contact, contact with that vehicle. Standby.
03:33Yeah, no, you're talking for seven. It's contact, contact with that vehicle. Lane four, speed is nine zero.
03:37Vehicle moves to lane three. It's all aware of my presence.
03:38Thank you for that, Sierra 2. Monitoring over.
03:39Vehicle moves to lane two. Speed eight five.
03:40Thank you for that, Sierra 2. Monitoring over.
03:41Vehicle moves to lane two. Speed eight five.
03:42Alex and Andy move into position to attempt to stop.
03:45Alex and Andy move into position to attempt to stop.
03:48I'm going to go past now, so we can take control in order.
03:50Investigators, just watch that one.
03:52And then you're walking in.
03:55It's all aware of my presence.
03:59Thank you for that, Sierra 2, Monastery.
04:03This vehicle moves to lane 2, speed 8-5.
04:08Alex and Andy move into position to attempt to stop.
04:12I'm going to go past now, so I think you can't follow me, border.
04:16Just watch that one in lane 3, mate.
04:25Roger, you may hold. Could potentially be here.
04:35All right, let's see if we're just here.
04:38Just come up to 200 yards forward now.
04:42It's going for it, mate. It's going for it.
04:44NA, vehicle is failing to stop.
04:46Standby. Taking call sign pursuit.
04:48Vehicle is lane 3, 9-0.
04:51Can we let M-Pass know, please, and other forces?
04:54Vehicle is making ground on me.
04:55It's got a 500 brake horsepower engine in it.
05:006-747, of course I'm Sue.
05:02Thank you for continuing this time.
05:03That must have been called.
05:09We're doing obscene speeds down the M1,
05:11and it's like a rocket ship.
05:13Speed is in excess of 1-5-0.
05:15It is making ground on me.
05:17We are lane 4.
05:18The RA is medium due to speed.
05:20We've got low, sorry, medium traffic.
05:23No pedestrians.
05:24It's still lane 4.
05:26Approximately 200 yards.
05:28Standby.
05:29Make sure everything comes off.
05:32I think when a vehicle fails to stop,
05:33it makes you think,
05:34what other things is this person doing,
05:36and why are they failing to stop?
05:37Is there more to it?
05:38Have they got something on board they shouldn't have,
05:40that they really need to get away?
05:41It's heavy rain for information.
05:43And it just makes you a bit more aware of
05:45what are they willing to do?
05:47Because ultimately,
05:48there could be some innocent person
05:50just going about their business
05:51that ends up being hurt or killed,
05:53and that's not what anyone wants.
05:54And it's over the brow of the hill out of the way.
05:57And the vehicle is still lane 4,
06:02and it's committed, committed northbound.
06:04Approximately 200 yards in the distance.
06:06Hey, you need to let South Yorkshire know about this.
06:08It is pulling away from me still,
06:10and I'm at 158 miles per hour.
06:12The DR8 is high due to speed and weather conditions.
06:20Just thank you for that.
06:21I've just done five knots as well,
06:22just in case it comes off that side.
06:25At these distances,
06:26I doubt I'll be able to tell if it comes off.
06:28I'm committing north, carrying on.
06:30NA, just let me know if it's the ANPR cameras,
06:32if it catches it.
06:33Yes, we've seen that.
06:36So we are like in South Yorkshire now as well.
06:41Any officers that take you onto the slip roads
06:43for stingers,
06:44please ensure it's live cover.
06:46Live cover, please.
06:49I'm cancelling to no point.
06:51The conditions are just horrendous.
06:55So...
06:57Yeah.
07:01I know this car is registered locally.
07:03I've dealt with this man previously.
07:05So, head up to near where his address is,
07:09and I'm going to see if it comes past.
07:11I'm at the federal station.
07:13I'll get the sting off.
07:14We're going to go to his house,
07:15which I will be absolutely astounded.
07:20There we are.
07:21And he spots the vehicle heading towards Alex's stinger site.
07:25Tango 47, it's gone past me.
07:33The vehicle's been stung.
07:35I managed to get all four tyres.
07:37Won't be going anywhere fast.
07:39Alex has got all four tyres.
07:42Well...
07:43You can't really go very far on all four tyres.
07:47It's got to be dumped somewhere.
07:49You're not going to drive around with 4-4 gone, are you?
07:52It's a right nightmare down here.
07:54It's like a rabbit warren.
07:56It's just the first place after...
07:59Well, if you went straight on at the roundabout there,
08:01instead of going left, it's first place.
08:03It's a state in the middle of nowhere that you might dump stuff.
08:07That bloke's stunk of cannabis.
08:11The driver of this vehicle's been dealt with before
08:13by the police for a variety of other things,
08:14so we've got photos of this driver.
08:16Know what he looks like.
08:19That's him.
08:22And I think I've got the mail.
08:27Fellow, what's your name?
08:28What's your name?
08:29Just put your hands out for me.
08:31Stop there.
08:32Turn round.
08:33Turn round.
08:34Put your hands for me behind your back.
08:38Put your hands behind your back.
08:39Explain a minute.
08:40Behind your back.
08:41Behind your back.
08:42Behind your back.
08:43I'm just putting it in my pocket, mate.
08:45What are you doing?
08:49Right, at this time,
08:50OK.
08:51You're under arrest and suspicion of dangerous driving.
08:52OK.
08:53OK.
08:54And also driving will have to qualify.
08:55OK.
08:56So, you don't have to say anything,
08:57but it may own defence to mention now.
08:58Sorry, something like that in court.
08:59I think he'll do something in good evidence.
09:00OK.
09:01You're arresting as a prompt to effect an investigation,
09:02but also to prevent your disappearance.
09:03OK.
09:04Sergeant Scott Riley arrives to assist.
09:07I'll take that, thank you.
09:08Sit in there for me.
09:09Oh, actually, I'll search you first.
09:11Have you got anything you shouldn't have?
09:12Drugs, guns, knives?
09:13Nothing?
09:14You got him, Scott?
09:16Yeah.
09:17Just grab me here and put some gloves on.
09:18I need to do a test as well.
09:19Yes.
09:20You stink of cannabis, pal.
09:21Have you been smoking cannabis?
09:25Have you been smoking cannabis?
09:26Smoking cannabis.
09:27Well, I've got a reasonable suspicion to believe
09:28that you've been driving a motor vehicle dangerously.
09:29OK.
09:30So, therefore,
09:31you're going to require to provide a sample of saliva
09:32at the roadside, OK?
09:33I must warn you that there are
09:34to provide a sample of defence.
09:35So, if you say you're not doing it.
09:36I'm walking.
09:37So, listen to me.
09:38I'm not interested in what you've got to say.
09:39Let's do what I've got to say.
09:40OK?
09:41So, if you fail to provide a sample,
09:42you're going to be arrested, OK?
09:43For doing that.
09:44OK.
09:45So, are you willing to provide a sample of breath,
09:46sorry,
09:47a sample of saliva for analysis?
09:48Yeah, yeah.
09:49You are.
09:50Lovely.
09:51Do you use cannabis?
09:52That's a yes, then.
09:53Where's this pocket here?
09:55How are we getting to this?
09:56No, but, mate,
09:57if I'm, like,
09:58I'm not in the car
09:59and you can't really do anything, then...
10:03Well, that's, that's for the courts
10:04on your side, isn't it?
10:05I've come out, right,
10:06for a joint basis.
10:07Where, where do you live?
10:08Eh?
10:09I'll be like my mates out.
10:10Who's your mate?
10:11I can't buy all this.
10:12No, I don't need to say that.
10:13This is really tight, this one.
10:14Yeah, I know.
10:15Well, we're sort of tight, won't we?
10:16I've just been walking, like,
10:17I've been to my mate's house
10:18and I was just walking on the way back.
10:20OK.
10:21Well, if it's, if it's the case of
10:22mistaken identity...
10:23Listen, I've literally just been smoking
10:25a joint right now.
10:26I'm allowed to do that, right?
10:27Well, no, you're not.
10:28I'm not allowed, no,
10:29but what I'm saying is,
10:30you can't arrest me if I'm just walking...
10:32I can.
10:33Well, you shouldn't be.
10:34If I'm walking...
10:35Yeah.
10:36Like, I don't understand what,
10:37what you've got.
10:38Well, it'll all be short of an interview,
10:39won't it?
10:40Right, sir.
10:41Have a seat in the back of there for me, please.
10:48So, I believe you've been driving a vehicle that's failed to stop the police
10:51and drive it dangerously at massively excessive speeds, OK?
10:55Andy seizes the suspect's phone, wallet and keys.
11:03Open your mouth, stick your tongue out.
11:06Side of your mouth.
11:07Open a bit wider.
11:08This one as well.
11:09And your tongue again.
11:10Sort of.
11:13As Andy waits for the result...
11:21Nearby,
11:22Alex and other officers locate the BMW.
11:27The tyres have completely come off the wheels,
11:29so it looks like it's been a successful sting.
11:31And we've also just been told that PC Swift found the car key
11:35that we suspect belongs to this vehicle in the detained mail.
11:40He's kept the key in his pocket, which is a bizarre move.
11:42Not many people do that one.
11:44And drive that key and, lo and behold, it starts up with the X5M.
11:48So, it's a high likelihood he is the driver.
11:51A search of the car...
11:53You've found a load of money.
11:54I've found some more.
11:55I've got 20 grand.
11:57...reveals a large amount of cash.
11:59I think there's enough there to do some Section 18s on his addresses, isn't there?
12:03It's probably one of the reasons why he didn't want to stop.
12:06There's not many people that carry around £20,000 in a plastic carrier bag.
12:10A large amount of cash in the vehicle's 50.
12:12Oh, you're further under arrest for possession of criminal property.
12:15OK.
12:16Or money laundering.
12:17It's also known.
12:18OK.
12:19So, caution still stands.
12:21Oh, we've failed for cannabis.
12:22So, you're further under arrest for driving and motor vehicle.
12:24So, they're prescribed for a specified substance of cannabis.
12:26All right.
12:27Custody we go.
12:28While Andy takes the man into custody, Alex and other officers arrive at the suspect's address.
12:39Hello there.
12:40Have you got a son?
12:41Yeah.
12:42We've currently got him in custody at the moment, OK?
12:44Yes.
12:45Because of the offences he's been arrested for, we have got a search warrant.
12:49He's not living here, so why do you want to search this home?
12:51Because this is the address that he's given as his home address.
12:54Apparently the keys for his shop are here also.
12:57Yeah.
12:58So, which we're going to be taking those as well.
13:01We'll be searching that, that address.
13:05Coming up.
13:06There's loads in the address.
13:07A search of the shop.
13:08Thousands.
13:09Cash.
13:10Reveals even more cash.
13:11Five, ten, twenty.
13:15And an officer's instinct.
13:17We are seizing the car.
13:18What?
13:19You should be driving it, should you?
13:20I'm in a public place right now.
13:21Uncovers yet another unlicensed driver.
13:24And he asked me 10-043.
13:26And if we've got another unit, we can come and assist.
13:28We've got mailers.
13:29I'm not very happy.
13:30On the outskirts of Derby.
13:41It's going for it mate, it's going for it.
13:44And a vehicle is failing to stop.
13:47Traffic cops Andy Swift.
13:49Speed is in excess of one five zero.
13:52There we go.
13:53And Alex Head.
13:58Have been pursuing a disqualified driver.
14:01Stop there.
14:02Turn around.
14:03Turn around.
14:04Who was found with a large amount of cash in the back of his car.
14:07Oh, it's sale for cannabis.
14:08So you're further undressed for driving a motor vehicle.
14:10So they prescribe it for your cannabis.
14:13That ended with a search of his house.
14:26So we've just completed the search of named address.
14:29The guy we've been arrested for.
14:31They failed to stop on the M1 earlier on this evening.
14:37We've not really come across anything.
14:39We've got another address.
14:42The shop is owned by him and his mum.
14:44I think the main aim will be to go down.
14:47We'll be wanting to have a look in the safe of the shop.
14:50There's obviously going to be cash for floats and things like that.
14:53But it's if there's excessive money in there.
14:56Where's this money coming from?
14:58And it will be case of seizing the money.
15:00And he'll have to prove it comes from a legitimate source.
15:07Oh, that's onwards.
15:14OK.
15:15Do you have the keys for everything, including the safe?
15:18Alex is shown a locked cupboard.
15:21Excuse me.
15:23Sorry.
15:25I find what you'd sort of expect for a shop.
15:27A float.
15:28A few hundred pounds.
15:29Pound coins.
15:30Notes.
15:31All that sort of thing.
15:32But then I'd notice underneath the other till there's another locked cupboard.
15:36Do you have the key for this?
15:37No.
15:38No.
15:39Which they'd not even mentioned.
15:42OK.
15:43Give me two seconds.
15:45Could you just let me out, please?
15:47I think the key's in the car.
15:49But channel mine in a clumbo.
15:50And I find they realise that he's got a key on his keys that we've seized.
15:55It looks like the same one.
15:56There's loads, isn't there?
15:57Thousands.
15:58Yeah.
15:59Do you know how much was there?
16:00How much?
16:01I don't know.
16:02You don't know?
16:03OK.
16:04In there, probably about £60,000 or £70,000.
16:05Which his parents said nothing about.
16:06You're putting it all in one bag.
16:07Yeah.
16:08So that money is going to be coming in with us.
16:09And it'll be interviewed about where it's all originated from.
16:10Because people who commit traffic offences are more likely to be involved in the
16:37other types of criminality.
16:38I have to listen to read this out, alright, so it sounds all very, um...
16:51As Andy checks the suspect into custody to be questioned...
16:56Cash.
16:57Monies.
16:58Alex updates his sergeant, Scott Riley.
17:02What if he'd have pulled over?
17:0315.
17:04Me and Lucy said exactly the same.
17:05We're going to run this, wouldn't we?
17:0620.
17:07Take your top off.
17:08Down.
17:09Take your base layer.
17:10Just whack that.
17:11So, effectively, we'll now split the cases.
17:12We've got all the evidence that we need for the driving.
17:13Let's slip your shoes off for us.
17:14Because he is such a risk of how he's driven today, the danger has put himself in, the danger
17:28to put other road users in, and he continues to drive us disqualified.
17:33We will be putting an application in that he's remanded in police custody.
17:37He'll go straight to the courts tomorrow, and we will be asking the courts to send him
17:42to prison under remand so that he can't drive us disqualified.
17:47Whilst all that's happening, colleagues in the Financial Investigation Unit will be going
17:52to court to evidence and prove that that money is from criminal means.
17:58Once we can prove that, then we will go for an order where the state can keep that money.
18:04He's saying that that money is for his takings from his shop, but it's a very, very small
18:09convenience store.
18:10I don't think many convenience stores have got liquid assets like that.
18:17Thank you very much.
18:18Cheers.
18:19Disqualified, unlicensed, and uninsured drivers are responsible for thousands of road traffic
18:28collisions every year.
18:30Attention.
18:32The car's just gone past us with showing no insurance.
18:39I've run it through.
18:41There's no keeper on it currently, so someone's using it as a trade vehicle.
18:46Or it's got no insurance.
18:48Alex is near the end of another 12-hour shift, and his onboard computer has identified another
18:57possible illegal driver.
18:59Hello, Paul.
19:00Yes, mate.
19:01Your vehicle's showing us having no insurance.
19:02Is it yours?
19:03It's on traders policy.
19:04Oh, right.
19:05Okay.
19:06It's a trade plate.
19:07Yeah, yeah.
19:08To us, I didn't see the trade plate stuff.
19:09You've not put one in the back.
19:10I've not put one in the back.
19:11Oh, it should be.
19:12Yes, sir.
19:13Oh.
19:14Oh.
19:15No.
19:16Funny that.
19:17It's funny.
19:18I don't know.
19:19I've seen if it's on as well.
19:21I've seen if it's on as well.
19:22The driver believes the car is insured and checks his policy.
19:36I can see you've got quite a few cars on there.
19:37You run into your car trading.
19:38Yeah, it's not, isn't it?
19:39No.
19:40I don't know why it's not an insurance, to be honest.
19:41Got to make sure that you're adding them.
19:42I honestly thought it was an insurance.
19:43Yeah.
19:44I'm literally just taking it back down now, so I've got a guy who wants to come and buy
19:45it, and I genuinely thought it was an insurance.
19:47Okay.
19:48Yeah, right.
19:49Can I just add it?
19:50It's too late.
19:51Can I just add it now?
19:52Right.
19:53I'll be honest with you.
19:54You're going to be getting a ticket.
19:55However, if you can add it, get it added now, and we're not going to seize it.
19:58So you can keep it.
19:59So you're going to be reported for the consideration of prosecuting you for the above offence, which
20:05is driving a vehicle on the road without third-party insurance.
20:06You don't have to send it, but it may harm me an offence.
20:07If you do not mention now, something which you like to do, is that you're going to be
20:09going to be able to buy it?
20:10I'm going to be able to buy it, and I genuinely thought it was uninsured.
20:11Okay.
20:12Yeah, right.
20:13Can I just add it?
20:14Can I just add it?
20:15Can I just add it?
20:16Can I just add it now?
20:17Can I just add it now?
20:18Can I just add it now?
20:19Right.
20:20I'll be honest with you.
20:21You're going to be getting a ticket.
20:22As the man has a licence and the car is now insured, he's free to get back on the road.
20:44So let this guy go on his way.
20:46He's got a ticket.
20:47If you get caught driving a vehicle with no insurance, six points on your licence and
20:51a £300 fine, but he's got to keep his vehicle.
20:56Any Oscar 10.043?
20:58Can I just pass you a quick VRM?
21:01Before Alex heads back on patrol...
21:03It's a white Audi Q5.
21:06...his suspicions are raised yet again.
21:09Another vehicle's just pulled into the garage, and straight away he gets out.
21:13He's shouting something.
21:15It just makes me a bit suspicious about whether he's entitled to drive that vehicle.
21:20I can stop any vehicle, and I've pressed the driver's details.
21:23I swear to God, I don't know.
21:24And if you don't have any driving licence details, then at this time, I don't know who you said you are.
21:30I've come to drop off some chickens.
21:32Unless you've got any ID to prove it, and your driving licence, this vehicle's going to get seized on the 165 of the road traffic car.
21:38Why is it going to get seized? For what reason?
21:40Because you've not got any ID.
21:41Listen, the boys are insured. I'm the driver. I'm legit.
21:43OK, I'll tell you what.
21:44If I do something, we could go to the police station now.
21:46No, no, no.
21:47And I'll bring ID to that.
21:48OK, where's your phone?
21:49You got a phone?
21:50Yeah.
21:51Where's your Facebook account?
21:52Can you bring that up and see what that says?
21:54I haven't got Facebook, and I'm not willing to do all this for you.
21:56OK.
21:57Everybody's got...
21:58OK.
21:59Everybody's got...
22:00Yeah.
22:01...on their phone, they've got something, haven't they?
22:03Yeah, well, I don't need to. I've got private stuff I'm not going to give it to you.
22:05OK.
22:06I've not been arrested. I'm not fingy.
22:07OK.
22:08All right, no worries.
22:11When someone starts reacting like that, you know you're onto something.
22:14I'm very well, thank you very much.
22:16Right now, I'm just going to be ticking at you.
22:20I don't think he is who he says he is.
22:25I will be asking him questions.
22:29The insurance comes back to a female, but they're not outstanding, not wanted or anything.
22:35Yes, yes.
22:36So it turns out that the person whose name he has given me, it's actually a female's name.
22:41It's not his.
22:42Right.
22:43So we're not insured?
22:44No.
22:45No. Cool. Good to know.
22:46A lot of people end up trying to give us false details.
22:49They give their brother's name or their friend's name or something like that.
22:53But we always end up finding out.
22:54Can I just leave it parked here?
22:56I'll park it up.
22:57Yeah. You get out anything you need.
22:59Yeah. OK.
23:00No, I'm going to get my wife to come pick it up.
23:01No, it's getting seized.
23:02Why are you getting seized?
23:03Why?
23:04I've got the car key.
23:06Why have you done that?
23:07Because I've seized it.
23:08Because you're not insured.
23:09OK.
23:10You've been giving me the one around.
23:12There's a large difference between somebody making an admin error.
23:16N8 Tango 43 and somebody who just thinks, I'll just take this car out and drive it uninsured.
23:23And they know they're not insured.
23:25And they just don't care.
23:26You got my wife to come pick the car?
23:27No, it's getting seized.
23:28I've got it.
23:29Seized.
23:30Seized.
23:31I'll just take it for now so I can pay to get it back to make money off me.
23:33How much is it to take it out?
23:34I think about 180 quid.
23:35180 quid.
23:36Are you going to pay that?
23:37No, you're not.
23:38No, no.
23:39So how are you making money off me?
23:40I'm not making money.
23:41Are you dumb?
23:42How does that even make sense?
23:43N8 Tango 43.
23:44Can I get a 165 seizure, please?
23:46I'm at the BP garage.
23:48And if we've got another unit who can come and assist.
23:51I've got a male who's not very happy.
23:54We don't issue tickets out to make money.
23:57When we seize a vehicle, any fees don't come to us.
24:00That's purely just to the recovery garage.
24:03Right, fella.
24:04What?
24:05You got some ID?
24:06Because I'm going to need to give you a ticket.
24:07Okay.
24:08Ticket for what?
24:09Driving with any insurance and potentially, I don't know if you've got a licence.
24:12Okay.
24:13The other option is we get you arrested.
24:15Arrested for what?
24:16Driving without a vehicle with no insurance and no licence because you can't prove who you are.
24:20What?
24:21What?
24:22Yeah, I'm at the station.
24:23I'm not there now.
24:24You get a lift here now.
24:25I'll come and get the car.
24:26And we are seizing the car.
24:28Okay.
24:29Okay.
24:30So it's best not you tell your wife to come, okay?
24:32Because we are going to seize the car.
24:33So she's taking it off you.
24:34Okay.
24:35Is my wife going to take it back?
24:36No, we're going to be taking the vehicle.
24:37No, but why are you going to charge me 180 quid to take it?
24:39Why?
24:40You shouldn't be driving it, should you?
24:41I'm in a public place right now inside a car pot, mate.
24:43How can you not do that?
24:45Robbers, I swear to God.
24:47What do you mean robbers?
24:48Well, take the car to get picked up tomorrow paying 180 quid for the night.
24:52Shouldn't be driving it.
24:53What do you mean shouldn't be driving?
24:54Well, you shouldn't be driving it, should you?
24:57N8, tagging a 4-3.
24:58Can I pass you details of this mail?
24:59I've got to stop.
25:00Yeah, pass details.
25:02If you can try and find him on DL, that'd be much appreciated.
25:07Getting no trace nominal or DL with those details.
25:11We can't find your driving licence details.
25:15Have you got a licence?
25:16You know what?
25:17I'm not giving you nothing.
25:18I gave you details.
25:19You look for it now.
25:20If I can't prove who you are...
25:21What do you mean you can't prove who I am?
25:22I'm giving you my details.
25:23What do you think I'm going to give you some random details I might?
25:25It's stressing me out enough as it is.
25:28Why is this all my fault when you're the one who's driving?
25:31No, I'm not.
25:32We're not an informed person to come and take the car.
25:35N8, could you just possibly run this guy through PNC as well, please?
25:42This mail is known to us on news.
25:45There is a marker for a firearm.
25:47Yeah, that's great. Thank you very much.
25:50The firearms marker.
25:52Can you tell me how old that is, please?
25:55He's got a lot of warning markers.
25:57He's been in and out of prison.
25:59He's got multiple offences for serious assaults.
26:04Backup arrives.
26:07Right.
26:09Because I can't find your driving licence, OK?
26:11You're going to be reported for consideration of the question of
26:13prosecuting you for the above offences,
26:15which is driving without third-party insurance,
26:17and also driving on a road and otherwise in accordance with a licence, OK?
26:21So you do not have to say anything, but it may harm an offence.
26:23If you do not mention now something which you later on in court,
26:25anything you do say may be given in evidence.
26:27Do you understand those two offences?
26:29Yeah?
26:30Are you willing to sign?
26:31No.
26:32No?
26:33OK.
26:34Recovery's just rocked up.
26:35OK, do you want to get anything you need out of the car?
26:37Yeah.
26:38All right.
26:39Thank you for coming.
26:40So the vehicle's been recovered, 165, for no insurance.
26:45I don't think he's got a licence.
26:47He's now got a proof he has.
26:49Done all the searches we can to try and find his licence.
26:52We've asked him to provide details of his licence.
26:54He couldn't do it.
26:55So now it's a case of the actual owner of the vehicle.
26:58I'll have to go and collect it.
27:00It won't be him, though, because he's not insured.
27:02And as I say, I don't think he's got a licence.
27:04So hopefully he won't be driving again.
27:13Coming up...
27:14Do you live here?
27:15Oh, no.
27:16Why are you parked on the road?
27:17Where is this?
27:18Not too far.
27:19Yeah, exactly right.
27:20The crackdown on illegal drivers continues.
27:23I'd have to guess it's because you're a provisional licence holder.
27:26And a speeding van...
27:28Me thinks this isn't going to stop.
27:30I don't think this one's going to stop.
27:32...reveals more than expected.
27:34It would seem that the chap driving has put a set of number plates on from another vehicle
27:38to try and hide the fact that he's disqualified from driving for previous offences.
27:41What was...
27:58What was...
27:59Why did you take him over there?
28:00What'd he done?
28:02Traffic cop Andy Swift and a colleague are running speed checks.
28:06Oh, he's turning off.
28:08He's turning off.
28:09Who was he?
28:10Are you going?
28:12Heading towards them, a black BMW makes a suspicious manoeuvre.
28:20As they go after the vehicle...
28:22NA from Oscar Tango 4-7.
28:23Trying to set him.
28:25..it turns off the road and into a driveway.
28:28We can't tell who was driving when this vehicle has pulled on to the driveway
28:33because it's pulled on quite a way down the road.
28:35But he's not doing the best job of trying to get away.
28:37Yeah.
28:38Chat now on time 0-8.
28:39As Andy runs a check on the car, the suspect driver's apprehended.
28:43NA from Oscar Tango 4-7.
28:45We've just had a car do a bit of a make-off but we've located it.
28:49He's just randomly left it on here and then done one but we've detained him.
28:53Do you live here?
28:54I don't know.
28:55Why haven't you parked somewhere around?
28:56Not too sure.
28:57Yeah, exactly right.
28:58Have you got some keys for it?
29:00Because if not, we might have to damage it to get inside it.
29:03No, because the person ran off...
29:04So we're going to have to damage it to get inside it.
29:06Listen...
29:07Is it your car?
29:08No.
29:09I wasn't driving it.
29:10No, that's not the question.
29:11Is it your car?
29:12No, no.
29:13No.
29:14It's the bar...
29:15Basically, I've just been from the barbershop because we're going to get something to eat.
29:19Go get some...
29:20Listen to me now.
29:21Listen to me now.
29:22What's the reason it's been dumped on the driveway?
29:24I'd have to guess and say it's because you're a provisional licence holder.
29:27Maybe the driver...
29:28Is it because you're a provisional licence?
29:29Mate, the car's going to be seized and you're going to be reported for driving otherwise in accordance
29:32with your licence sector speed.
29:34The young man is a learner driver but claims he was a passenger.
29:39Any last time you go 47?
29:41Can I have a 165 recovery please for this vehicle?
29:50The one that I mentioned.
29:52We've got a no licence, no insurance we believe.
29:55This gentleman's been speeding towards my colleague and I don't think he's wanted to be caught.
30:00So what he's done is he's dumped it on some random person's drive, which is not here.
30:03And nothing to do with this person.
30:04And then he's had a bit of a...
30:05Bit of a run up the road, I think.
30:07Because by all accounts, I'm checking out this chap, he's got a provisional licence.
30:10Obviously shouldn't be driving it.
30:11Erm, so...
30:12It'll be coming with us.
30:14As they wait for recovery, two more young men turn up.
30:18Gentlemen, are you alright?
30:19Hi, hi, hi, hi.
30:20That's my little brother.
30:21Hmm?
30:22My little brother.
30:23It's your little brother?
30:24You see?
30:25Ring him.
30:26Well as long as whoever was driving the car comes back, there'll be no issues.
30:29So what happened?
30:30It doesn't matter, does it?
30:31He's 18.
30:32He doesn't need to tell you.
30:33Yeah, I know though.
30:34He just got a family wedding today, so...
30:36Well he ain't going to no wedding, is he?
30:37Yeah, no, no, no.
30:38So someone's going to be very upset with him for missing their wedding.
30:41Yeah, it's just...
30:42Yeah, so...
30:43Obviously if whoever was driving the car at the time just appears back, then we'll have
30:46no issues.
30:47I don't know who it was yet.
30:48I don't know whose car died.
30:50Oh.
30:51Well, well then gentlemen, nothing further for you if you don't want to hang around.
30:58Unfortunately your brother's declined to help you.
31:02Despite his claims he was the passenger, the young man receives a ticket for driving without
31:08a licence and insurance.
31:10I'm still arguing the point now about it, but unfortunately I'm afraid it's gone.
31:14Because you can't just park it on people's driveways either.
31:16So, there we are.
31:17See you officer.
31:18Have a good day.
31:23One of the most common ways illegal drivers disguise being on the roads is using cloned
31:28registrations.
31:33To combat this, officers like Andy Swift rely on intelligence linked to police cameras.
31:41Vehicle's just hit up.
31:44Any else tango 47?
31:47Go ahead.
31:49Show us the vehicle through for an ANPR hit please.
31:51Andy's on-board computer has triggered an alert on a suspicious van.
31:58It's not what I told you about here.
32:01Is it now received?
32:04There's a van that's been knocking around Derby for three or four days.
32:07It's been identified as a clone vehicle.
32:08So, it's displaying number plates from another vehicle.
32:12I'm sure it's got ladders on top.
32:14It was picked up on camera.
32:16It goes northbound mate.
32:17You can join me on northbound motorway and I'll go in front with a follow me and you can
32:22sit behind it mate and we'll try and take it off somewhere and see what happens.
32:25Yes, yes.
32:26We'll keep you updated as to where we are.
32:27Yes mate.
32:28Name for information and speed.
32:291-0-0 lane 4.
32:30We think this isn't going to stop.
32:31I don't think this one's going to stop.
32:32Very few clone vehicles ever stop.
32:33Vehicle moves to lane one?
32:34Usually because I would say a good proportion of them are stolen.
32:37And they know it's a stolen vehicle when they're driving it around usually to commit
32:38further criminality.
32:39It's off, off, off.
32:40I'm going to illuminate this vehicle I know before we get to end this slip.
33:01As the van slows down, Andy moves in for a stop.
33:10Sometimes people have a moment of clarity and they just think, you know what, I'm just
33:14going to pull over, it's not worth the hassle.
33:19Hello, you alright?
33:231047 to you, for your last.
33:24Yeah, I've got one male detained in cuffs.
33:28So, obviously I've initially stopped you because of your manner you're driving on the motorway.
33:31You're over 110 miles an hour on the motorway.
33:33Okay, also we believe this vehicle is not what it is and we believe it's actually potentially
33:37a clone stolen vehicle.
33:39Yes, so if it isn't, I hope it's not for your sakes.
33:42Well, you'll be coming with us.
33:44Alright.
33:45Hey, 1047.
33:46The vehicle VIN number on the front has been covered up and the one at the sides
33:49tried to be ripped off.
33:50However, they've not done a very good job, there's still some left.
33:52Will you be able to just give us the full VIN?
33:53I'll try and work out what's left here.
33:55Most vehicles we deal with that are cloned, they're very rudimentary clones.
33:58They'll just be a set number place and be stuck on another vehicle.
34:00So you can go and check the VIN plate and the vehicle identification number.
34:03And the VIN plate will come back to a different registration number.
34:06Are you both known to police?
34:07I am, yeah.
34:08Are you known to...
34:09What for?
34:10What, driving offences, nicking, assaults?
34:14Have you got a licence?
34:15No.
34:16Disqualified?
34:17Yeah.
34:18I thought as much.
34:20Can I have a cigarette?
34:22Not at the moment.
34:23You potentially can, yeah, but not at the moment.
34:24Alright.
34:25If it's not stolen, if it's just a case that it's just been on false plates, then we'll deal
34:28with it at the roadside, depending on how long.
34:30You'll be able to go.
34:31You will.
34:32Depending on how many times you've been locked up for Discord driving.
34:34Is it your van or is it someone else's van?
34:36Someone else's van.
34:37Alright.
34:38What we've got is that, obviously, we need to find out who it is and we want to make
34:41sure that you two boys haven't stole that van from them.
34:43Well, I know.
34:44I haven't stole nothing.
34:45Alright.
34:46Like, generally, I guess there's news to me that it's on false plates, to be honest with
34:48you.
34:49Alright.
34:50So, who's your friend that you've had it off then?
34:51I don't know his second name, off the top of my head.
34:53Well, what's your relationship to him then, if that makes sense?
34:55A friend.
34:56Don't take this the wrong way.
34:57Yeah.
34:58I know my friend's surnames, but you don't know your friend's surname.
35:01I've known him for about the last six months.
35:02You've known him for six months, you don't know his surname?
35:04Give or take, yeah.
35:05And how'd you contact him?
35:06Yeah, he threw off some of the phone, but the phone's dead.
35:09Your phone, alright.
35:10Okay.
35:11Because you can help us out, and we can sort it out here, or we can go round in circles,
35:15and we can take you to the station.
35:17I'm sorry?
35:18I'm being.
35:19I'm being.
35:20I'm being.
35:21I generally am.
35:22Yeah, okay.
35:23I think a 4-7 still is it?
35:24Yeah, he's alright.
35:25Go on.
35:26No reports on the vehicle.
35:28Not nicked.
35:29Sweet.
35:30Yeah, your mail is a non-licensed holder.
35:34Also shown disqualified until the 20th of August 26th.
35:39Magic, we just checked on his PNC record as to when he was last dealt with for disqualified
35:45driving, and how many times he's been dealt with for it.
35:48His last appearance of magistrates appears to have been 2020.
35:55Yeah, let's see if I could.
35:57Not been dealt with since 2020, mate, apart from in the summer, so three years between
36:00his last one, so.
36:01I'll report him here and send him on his way, I think, shall we?
36:06Right, right.
36:07Yeah, yeah.
36:08Come and stand on this side so you don't get run over, alright?
36:10Right, so, you're going to be, you're going to be cautious, you don't have to say anything,
36:15but it may, on defence, not mention any questions, some third time, if you do say anything, it's
36:17going to be a report of causation processing defence driving a motor vehicle whilst disqualified
36:20from driving, and also for driving that valid third-party insurance, okay?
36:23Yeah.
36:24Take these plates off, and then you'll be able to go very shortly or something like that.
36:28It is a clone van, it's not stolen.
36:30It would seem that the chap driving has put a set of number plates on for another vehicle
36:33to try and hide the fact that he's not got a licence or insurance, he's actually disqualified
36:37from driving for previous offences.
36:39So, he's just trying to hide that fact.
36:41Obviously, out and about working, he's a scaffolder looking at what's in the back, but still
36:44doesn't take away from the fact that he shouldn't be driving, something else should be.
36:47Don't drive, mate.
36:49So, all in all, not a bad result.
36:52Gets another vehicle off the road, and obviously, hopefully he'll get his just deserts at court.
37:02Coming up...
37:03Listen!
37:04Listen!
37:05If you're taking my car away...
37:07A routine stop escalates.
37:10Chill.
37:11No, I'm not, because I've got enough on.
37:13When the cops pull over another uninsured driver.
37:16Hold your nerves.
37:31Come on, Mr. Ben Lurie.
37:34I know you're taking a 40.
37:36Traffic cop Jack Pressland is at the start of a day shift, looking for an uninsured driver.
37:42Can you tell me what vehicle I'm looking for?
37:45Information's been passed that a regular, uninsured driver will be out and about in Derby today.
37:53They've activated NPR cameras coming back towards the home address.
37:57It's five past nine.
37:58They could still be doing the school run.
38:00So, we'll make our way there and see what we can find.
38:04As Jack spots the vehicle, it pulls over.
38:08Right, it's parked up.
38:15Hey, Upduck.
38:16Should I have a quick chat?
38:18Your car's showing no insurance.
38:21OK, so...
38:22That's fine.
38:23Have you got any insurance?
38:24My insurance is going through.
38:26It's going through.
38:27Right.
38:28Three days ago, I got a letter stating that my insurance is under investigation.
38:34OK, I'll give you them back.
38:35Two seconds.
38:36Why don't we do some digging?
38:37If we can't prove that you've got insurance again, with everything that you're telling me,
38:41your car's going to be seized, isn't it?
38:42Fuck, I don't care.
38:43Just chill.
38:44No, I'm not, because I've got enough on.
38:47What driving licence you got up?
38:49UK form.
38:50Full UK.
38:51You got your driving licence on you?
38:52Your picture card?
38:53I haven't got my picture card on me.
38:54It's with DVLA for change of address.
38:56Right.
38:57Yeah.
38:58I'm struggling to find a driving licence at a minute, that's all.
39:01That's it, I've found it.
39:03Middle name move.
39:04Yep, got you.
39:05Yep.
39:06So, your insurance, obviously.
39:09Can you prove to me you've got insurance?
39:11If I could charge my phone and my phone's gone.
39:13Right.
39:14Honestly, I swear to you.
39:15Let me find out when it was last insured.
39:17An A1040.
39:18When was this vehicle last insured, please?
39:23So, it's not been insured since July.
39:26It's not been insured since July.
39:28Apparently.
39:29Well, yeah it has.
39:30Well, who's the insurance company?
39:32I can't remember the name.
39:33This is what I'm telling you.
39:35Chill.
39:36No, I won't chill.
39:37I want to go home to my little girl.
39:38Well, we're not going to get to the bottom of it until you chill.
39:41You know what?
39:42I wish I'd ever pulled in.
39:43And then you'd have been in trouble a lot more, wouldn't you?
39:45Yeah, I would have.
39:46You didn't even wash the pill in.
39:47I pulled in voluntary, actually.
39:49Yeah, and if you'd have failed to stop, then you'd have done even further, wouldn't you?
39:52I just want to go home.
39:53I've been up all night, throwing my guts up.
39:55I've been sick at school.
39:56I want to get home.
39:57That's fine.
39:58Right.
39:59We'll crack on.
40:00What I'm going to do...
40:01Okay.
40:02What I'm going to do, because we can't prove it at roadside, I'm going to seize your vehicle.
40:04Just what you've previously told me.
40:06And you'll be issued a ticket.
40:08You're not going nowhere.
40:09I want to go home to my head!
40:10Listen!
40:11If you're taking my car, I want to go away!
40:12I am taking your car, right?
40:14Take it then and get to my three-year-old little girl!
40:17You can go to your three-year-old little girl in two minutes when you get a ticket.
40:20If not, I'll lock you up and you'll spend another couple of hours in custody.
40:23I don't care at this moment.
40:24Right.
40:25Wait five minutes!
40:26I want to go home!
40:30You're going home in two minutes if you hold your nerves.
40:33I'll get to my daughter.
40:35You're not understanding that as soon as I do this, and you're making it more and more awkward...
40:40I pulled in voluntary without even flashing your lights or anything.
40:44I got out of the car.
40:45Why is that?
40:46Because I got in my boot!
40:48Actually!
40:49I could have got straight back in and flown off.
40:52I think I'd have caught you.
40:55When people get angry at us, you've just got to stay calm.
40:59And the onus is on the driver to prove to us that they've got insurance and a licence.
41:04We've got the technology now to do further checks.
41:08If I've got reasonable suspicion that you're uninsured, not got a licence, your vehicle's coming with me and you're getting a ticket.
41:15Right.
41:16You're going to be reported for the consideration of prosecuting you for driving without valid third-party insurance.
41:21You'll be reporting for someone for that offence.
41:23You do not have to say anything, but it may only be defence.
41:25It should not mention now, something which later on in court.
41:27Anything you do say, may be getting evidence.
41:29My opinion is, everybody's got to pay insurance.
41:32Right, you can get whatever property you want out of the car.
41:35Your car's going to be obviously seized.
41:36Otherwise, my premiums go up, my family's do, and so does everyone else's.
41:42Have a good day!
41:44Can't please everyone, can you?
41:48So there you see, a very happy customer who's not got valid insurance.
41:53So a car's going to be seized, she's been issued a ticket and she'll have a day in court.
41:58Nobody likes the car being took off them, so people get more aggressive,
42:03think if they throw a paddy then they'll get away with it,
42:07but unfortunately would bite the tongs and get on with the job.
42:18Every 20 minutes, someone in the UK is involved in a collision with an uninsured driver.
42:25They just pose a huge risk to the public.
42:27They don't care about the safety of other people.
42:29They don't care if they have a crash into somebody.
42:31So the message needs to be sent that obviously isn't acceptable.
42:35And there's a massive correlation between people who drive without either a licence or insurance,
42:40and criminality, whether that be drugs, burglaries, shop thefts.
42:45So I don't take sympathy for people who carry on driving whilst they're disqualified.
42:51Our job is to take them off the roads and if they carry on doing it, we'll send them to prison.
42:57In this episode...
42:59It is pulling away from me still and I'm at 158 miles per hour.
43:04The man who failed to stop for police and was found with large amounts of cash,
43:09pleaded guilty at court to dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified and uninsured,
43:14failing to stop and possession of cannabis.
43:17He received an eight-month prison sentence and a 22-month driving ban.
43:25No action was brought against the man for any money laundering offences.
43:29She thought it was uninsured.
43:32Yeah.
43:33The driver who failed to update his trader's insurance policy
43:37was reported for driving without insurance.
43:43They were not insured?
43:44No. Cool. Good to know.
43:46Right.
43:47The man who gave a false name was charged with driving without insurance
43:51and for driving otherwise in accordance with a licence
43:54and received eight points on his licence.
43:57I would have done it.
43:59No, that's not the question. Is it your car?
44:00No.
44:01No action was taken against the young man,
44:03suspected of driving without a licence and insurance at excess speed
44:07due to the officers not being able to disprove his claim
44:10that he was the passenger.
44:12I guess it's news for me. It's on the phone.
44:14Yeah.
44:16The driver of the cloned van was charged with driving whilst disqualified
44:20and driving without insurance.
44:22He failed to appear at court
44:24and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
44:27Can you prove to me you've got insurance?
44:30If I could charge...
44:31And the woman who had her car seized was charged with driving without insurance
44:35and was banned from driving for six months
44:37and received a £660 fine.
44:41I'll see you next time.
44:42Bye.
44:43Bye.
44:44Bye.
44:45Bye.
44:46Bye.
44:47Bye.
44:48Bye.
44:49Bye.
44:50Bye.
45:11Bye.
