Transcript

00:00This is Police Interceptors, and you're riding with the pride of

00:10Northamptonshire, Ace Pursuit drivers, with air support, and a crack dog unit.

00:23They bring down the bad guys, keep the streets safe, and battle 24-7, in the war on crime.

00:48This is what it is, isn't it? We find them, we lock them up.

00:50Coming up.

00:55He's crashed on the 840 brake towards Northampton.

00:59Man-hung for a missing dangerous driver.

01:02Oh, I really want to find him.

01:05I'm pretty sure you're hooked!

01:06A contain and call-out with firearms and the dog unit.

01:13And...

01:13The whole bonnet's bent in where the car's sort of taking the street right out.

01:17A lucky escape from a roundabout wreck.

01:20What's happened this evening?

01:22We're just having a walk.

01:37Flying solo in the south of the county is Interceptor Charlie Brown.

01:41This afternoon's mission is to track down a Mercedes with a marker.

01:48So he's plotting up for a roundabout stakeout.

01:52Quite recent intel that suggests that the vehicle is used by an organised crime group.

01:57And what this crime group do is either purchase or create fake documents like driving licences and certificates of insurance.

02:05And so we will try and spot the vehicle as it should pass us from the left, get it stopped and speak to the occupants.

02:15According to the latest ANPR camera hit, the grey Mercedes should be passing any second.

02:21There it is.

02:27Right on time.

02:30Where's he going?

02:31He's trying to run.

02:34But off the mark, the target is soon in sight.

02:38So it will be the Mercedes in lane one.

02:43What we'll do is try and display the follow me sign.

02:48Moving in front of the Merc in his marked bold, though, Charlie monitors the driver in his mirrors.

03:00If the driver has something to hide, he might not play ball.

03:08Reaching a roundabout, Merc Man undertakes and makes a break for it.

03:13Rerouting onto the A43, it's foot-to-the-floor time.

03:27The vehicle looked one-up and I don't pay off.

03:32Since this was only meant to be a friendly check on driving documents, control need to give the go-ahead for a pursuit.

03:38Charlie started out in the force control room.

03:56Now he's a pursuit-trained advanced driver.

03:59And although this might be his first solo pursuit...

04:041-1, we are off, off, off.

04:08With Silverstone Village on the offside.

04:11Wait.

04:12He remains as cool as a cucumber.

04:16Temporarily, high risk, wrong way around the roundabout.

04:19Back to medium.

04:20We are Dodford Road toward Silverstone, with an immediate left, left, left at the junction.

04:28Wait.

04:30The dangerous Merc driver is running risk after risk.

04:34Towards Abthorpe.

04:36Vehicle overtaken on the opposite side of the road.

04:40Before recklessly going the wrong way down the carriageway at 80 miles an hour.

04:45Aborted, aborted, aborted.

04:47He's travelling south on the north at 43, continuing towards Brackley.

04:53I've abandoned.

04:55A head-on collision at this speed could have lethal consequences.

04:59Just to confirm for you, I've turned lights and sirens off and I've stopped.

05:05Within seconds...

05:07..a fellow interceptor on the A43 makes a shocking call.

05:13They've just been a big RTC on the A43, but is it a sub-gray mark they were chasing?

05:19Yes, yes.

05:21It's crashed on the A43 towards Northampton.

05:24Big RTC.

05:29Dash cam from the other unit captures the moment the Mercedes crashes into the central reservation.

05:34Leaving debris rolling across the road.

05:45As the other unit crosses over the carriageway, they also witness the aftermath.

05:50The driver is AWOL.

06:04I'm amazed.

06:07I'm absolutely amazed.

06:11The pursuit couldn't have continued.

06:13That was...

06:14He's obviously put his life and other road users at such risk.

06:19All for what, we don't know.

06:22The concern though as well, obviously, as is our main role in the police,

06:27is to preserve life and limb.

06:29I mean, if he's injured, we obviously have to duty care to obviously find him.

06:34Oh, goodness.

06:37By the state of the road and the car, it's a miracle the driver has walked away.

06:43Are you happy I'll go and have a look for him?

06:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.

06:48See you later, bud.

06:50Every available unit are joining the search for the potentially injured suspect.

06:58The obvious route from where he's trapped was to go up the bank on the northbound side.

07:05Interceptors think the driver could have gone to ground in the surrounding village of Silverstone.

07:10But for how long will he be able to evade capture?

07:15Oh, I really want to find him.

07:31Near Silverstone, Charlie Brown located a grey Mercedes allegedly linked to organised crime.

07:37Speed.

07:38One, one, five.

07:41The dangerous driver at the wheel sped off the wrong way down the A43.

07:47Aborted, aborted, aborted.

07:49And within seconds...

07:51They've just been a big RTC on the A43.

07:55...crashed and fled the scene.

07:58Now the interceptors are searching for the suspect, who could be seriously hurt.

08:03And there's a new lead.

08:05Yes, he went down there.

08:06Yes, he went down there.

08:11Little London Road.

08:12He's led it down in the past few minutes, the public have said.

08:15The tip-off steers the search toward a large farm nearby.

08:28Hello, it's the police.

08:31Needle in a haystack doesn't cover it, but every possible hiding place needs to be explored.

08:42Sadly not.

08:57Do we obviously want to find him to arrest him for what he's done?

09:01But his welfare as well.

09:03If he is carrying some injuries, you wouldn't think he's got very far, but then he's still probably wearing his adrenaline cloak, and that'll still be pumping through his body at the minute.

09:16I don't know.

09:20Reinforcements are arriving to bolster the search.

09:24It's now a full-scale manhunt, with dog handler Dan Bradley Brophy tracking through the fields.

09:30I'm on that gate.

09:32So he's carried on that way, by the sound of it.

09:36Plus, the police helicopter is flying in.

09:43What direction of travel should I be looking for him, please, over?

09:46While search teams on the ground and on high keep looking, Charlie has been called back to the crash site.

09:59There's not much left at the front of the Merc, but officers have made a discovery at the back.

10:08Having a cannabis nursery of 62 plants on board could be one of the reasons for the disappearing act.

10:14Whether he's on his way to a grow house, maybe somewhere to go and plant them and grow them more.

10:22I think he'll be somewhere along the cultivation chain.

10:25We might not have him, but we've got what he cares about.

10:31Magic.

10:33But it's not over yet.

10:35There's an update from the search team.

10:38They've got sight of him. Let's go.

10:39The officers have spotted a male that matches the description.

10:46Pop up from a hedge line along the carriageway.

10:50So now everyone is spinning back around.

10:52I want to get him now.

10:54The last known location of the suspect was near these horse stables.

10:58Can I go up to that fence up there?

11:03Is that all right?

11:03Yes, I do.

11:04And I say it's really wet.

11:05That's all right.

11:05I'll risk it to find him.

11:07Thank you, though.

11:07OK.

11:09You might need wellies and waders for this job.

11:13Now I've run it again.

11:14Back towards the trees.

11:15Climbing over a fence.

11:17There's a fresh sighting.

11:19Charlie is going in.

11:21Oh, mate.

11:22This sink's really, really bad.

11:23Once he's knee-deep in a boggy field, the team get the update they've been hoping for.

11:32I think it's better than you can catch.

11:36Do it up.

11:37All good.

11:38The runaway driver has been found.

11:42All copied.

11:44Very, very good work by everybody.

11:47Other than being soaking wet, covered in mud and a few scratches, he seems to be in fine fettle.

11:57That's way back.

12:00He's nicked for dangerous driving, dealing cannabis and driving without a license or insurance.

12:06The weed wagon he's wiped out doesn't even belong to him.

12:10I've been in shallower lakes than this.

12:15We got covered in, I've no idea what for the price of it, but I'm very happy.

12:20No one's come injured as a result.

12:23He's a dangerous driver taken off the roads.

12:30We've recovered some drugs as a result.

12:32Yeah, really good teamwork from everyone all around.

12:39Oh, Christ.

12:43Back on dry land...

12:45Any luck?

12:46Yes, we got him.

12:47Oh, fantastic.

12:49There's time for a quick boot wash, then it's over to custody to meet their man.

12:53Why is it so difficult to stop when you're told to do so by the police?

13:03We'll never know, are we?

13:05Because I don't have a driving license.

13:07That's it.

13:07Who's called Saturday?

13:09Was it you in the car when I'm serving for them?

13:13Yeah, you were?

13:17I should have started.

13:18He's just admitted to me in custody that he was a driver of the vehicle, asking me why.

13:25I was asking him to follow me into the services.

13:28So it's as good as a confession, and we will look to charge and remind him, hopefully,

13:34get him before the next available court.

13:39Running man, found in a muddy field, was convicted of driving dangerously,

13:43driving without a license or insurance, and dealing cannabis.

13:48And he won't be able to outrun his sentence,

13:50as he was locked up for nine months and banned from the roads for over 16 months.

14:04As well as reacting to evolving situations like the manhunt,

14:08the interceptors are also expertly trained at coming together as a team for pre-planned tactics.

14:14The operations department, which is traffic, firearms and the dog section,

14:20we do rely on each other.

14:22Putting a containment on a house, for instance,

14:24we always think about our colleagues as much as our own position,

14:28so teamwork for us is key.

14:30Early doors on a Saturday morning.

14:48Doghandler Steve Knight is blue-lighting to a job with the firearms team.

14:52Three men visited an address, one with a machete, one with a baseball bat,

14:59third male, it's unknown if he was armed or not.

15:03It's just gone half past eight.

15:05Not your typical Saturday morning start.

15:11CCTV operators are tracking the allegedly armed group

15:14who have jumped in a car and travelled back to a house in Kettering.

15:20The hope is we're going to send the unmarked unit past

15:24to confirm the vehicle and an address that's possibly linked to it.

15:29Once that's been established, the marked units will be called round

15:33and it'll be a containment and call-out.

15:37So in other words, contain the people within the address

15:39and call them out one by one.

15:42Good boy. Good lad.

15:47Due to the threat of lethal weapons like machetes,

15:51a large team of firearms cops are responding.

15:55SS, we're just pulling up to it now.

15:58Body cam rolling, armed interceptors in an unmarked car

16:02scope out the target address.

16:08Yeah, there's nobody in the vehicle.

16:09Team, if you just get yourself settled,

16:11then we'll have to do the container call-out of the address.

16:14Marked firearms units and Steve move in.

16:18Right, we're just coming in to where the vehicle is.

16:26They're nearly ready to begin the contain and call-out operation.

16:31Good lad, wait.

16:32The elite team are trained to prepare for the unexpected.

16:38Our police have used us!

16:40Get out!

16:41A suspect appears.

16:42Come out of the address now!

16:44Thanks to lightning-quick reactions from the firearms team.

16:51Walk that way!

16:52That's it, right, dog.

16:53Walk that way!

16:54Get on this, mate.

16:54The potentially armed suspect instantly has assault rifles,

16:58baton guns and taser trained on him.

17:01Come to here, mate.

17:02Stop there.

17:03Get on your knees for me, mate.

17:06Not to mention the added deterrent of Steve

17:09with five-year-old German shepherd, Blue.

17:11Good lad.

17:12Good boy.

17:13Good boy.

17:14Should be two more in there, according to this.

17:16All the mercy on this.

17:18Good little boy, Tom.

17:19Come on, mate.

17:20That's why he's back.

17:21Watch him.

17:24Watch him.

17:25Good lad.

17:27One in cuffs.

17:28Are you all right to pull him out,

17:29and then I'll get him out of the way,

17:31and then we'll...

17:31I can see.

17:33I can see through his side, everybody.

17:35The team continue the call-out.

17:38Come this way.

17:39Out now.

17:40I'll go take it.

17:42Yeah, you just take it.

17:43I'll go take it.

17:45Get on, sir.

17:47Not there.

17:48There's no row.

17:51Send him, send him to them.

17:53Watch him.

17:55Get out of the way, Dad.

17:57You're sorry, you can take it, Dad.

17:58I'll cut off.

17:59Two out.

18:00One more person, bro.

18:01One more person.

18:02Suspect two is compliant.

18:05Armed police!

18:06Go to the front door!

18:08But suspect three, who could be armed...

18:11Matt, he's at the back of the address kitchen.

18:13...doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

18:15You, come out now!

18:18That should do the trick.

18:20He's coming to the front now.

18:24Stay there, stay there.

18:25Listen to my colleague.

18:26Look at me.

18:26Walk this way.

18:28Slowly, take him...

18:29Stop.

18:30Now turn around.

18:31Please have to swap your back.

18:32Take all the people you used to, OK?

18:35Do you have to go?

18:35Yeah, I've got to go.

18:36Go.

18:40See what I've seen now, mate?

18:42There's two guys.

18:43The boat in the kitchen.

18:43Three suspects safely in cuffs.

18:48A textbook, contain and call out.

18:51So we had a report that people in this vehicle have been linked to being in possession of a baseball bat and a bladed article.

19:00All right, then, so that's why you've been detained, for that purpose.

19:03OK, thank you.

19:03All right, all right, that's fine.

19:05We don't do the nice thing.

19:06Is there a dog in the house, isn't there?

19:08We're not going to do anything to harm your dog.

19:10No, I'm just saying, can you make sure it's in the house?

19:11You just shut up.

19:12Talk him for five minutes.

19:13Just shut up, bro, yeah?

19:14Just be quiet.

19:14Just get your mouth shut up.

19:15Some of the blokes seem a little cagey.

19:20Got anything on your tongue, mate?

19:21Nothing at all, mate.

19:22Let's face that.

19:23No blokes out of him.

19:24No one come out.

19:25No.

19:28Blue, enough.

19:29Enough.

19:30Hey.

19:30Come here.

19:31Come here.

19:33The trio are taken in for questioning.

19:37Police dog Blue's work here is done.

19:41Blue.

19:41Up.

19:42Good lad.

19:43Good lad.

19:43Stay.

19:45Good lad.

19:46Good boy.

19:48However, the operation is far from over.

19:52The initial report said three or four males.

19:56So what the firearms team now are conducting a deliberate search of the property,

20:00making sure there's nobody hidden in there.

20:03All right.

20:04Show me the magic.

20:05Deliberate search.

20:15All right.

20:22Okay.

20:22Set your right.

20:24In a finely tuned tactic...

20:26Clear right.

20:28...armed officers move through the house.

20:31On me.

20:33I can go left.

20:34On me.

20:35Clearing each room one by one.

20:37There's no one else in the property.

20:45Oh, on me.

20:49Only two pet dogs.

20:51If we leave you two down here to do downstairs, we'll go and do upstairs.

20:55There's nothing blaringly obvious.

20:59While the team turn their attention to searching for weapons...

21:03Hello.

21:05I've got to check to see if you've got some food and water.

21:08...dog's best friend, Nighty, is on hand to check on the pet's welfare.

21:11Yeah, I think you are, Thursday, after all that shouting.

21:18In Steve's 20 years on the front line, his proudest police moment is joining the dog section.

21:24But even without a canine companion by his side...

21:28...he's a dab hand that's sniffing out potential evidence.

21:34Nighty, is it the handle or the...

21:35It's the handle of the pickaxe, Steve.

21:38And a snooker cue.

21:39That'll probably be it then, won't it?

21:43If that's the case, then there is a pickaxe-type object here...

21:47...albeit minus the axe on the end of it.

21:51We'll seize that then, and we'll recover that.

21:54They haven't found any edge weapons, but what we have found...

21:57...a cricket bat, a pickaxe staithe, and part of a pool cue.

22:03So all those items have been seized.

22:06Because they could be relevant.

22:07People see things, you know, in the heat of the moment and think it's one thing, don't they?

22:12So that's been seized.

22:13The house is cleared, locked up.

22:15Dogs have been fed and watered, all secure.

22:19Job done.

22:20By half nine on a Saturday morning, they're getting back on the road...

22:24...and Steve is happy with Blue's performance.

22:28Because of how dynamic that job was, poor lad didn't get to have a ball as a reward.

22:35So he's worked really hard for it.

22:38And in his little mind, he's got nothing for it.

22:41So we're going to give him a run-out.

22:44He'll have a couple of balls and chocks.

22:48Suspects one and two were convicted of using violence to enter a property and public order offences.

22:54They were each given a 12-month community order and had to pay £199 in victim surcharge and costs.

23:04Suspect one was also guilty of having an offensive weapon in a public place and the pool cue was seized.

23:11No legal action was taken against suspect three.

23:15Yes, good lad.

23:17And police dog Blue went home happy.

23:21Yes, good boy.

23:23Good boy.

23:26Coming up...

23:27You need to blow, not set.

23:29The breathalyser causes some bother.

23:32You understand the concept of blowing?

23:34Yeah?

23:36And...

23:36That's it, there. That was it.

23:38Will a stop for no insurance end in a Porsche Taycan takeaway?

23:42The intel marker on the thing is, it's £105,000.

23:45Blimey.

23:47It's £105,000.

24:04Sixth look up.

24:06Apparently it sounds like the vehicle's starting, but they can't see any fire.

24:11Interceptors Sandra Payne and Chris Locke are responding to a Grade 1 emergency.

24:15We've got reports of a single-vehicle RTC up on the very north extremities of the county.

24:24It's driven into the centre of a roundabout.

24:27There's question marks over the driver being drunk or under the influence of something.

24:33But we'll head up there, see if we can get hold of him and see what the story is.

24:37Eyewitnesses at the scene are speaking to the driver.

24:42The male was slurring his words, asking, don't call the police.

24:45Can you give me a lift?

24:46He has a bruised forehead, two bruises above each eye.

24:50He had his top off.

24:53It's a bit of bloody cheated to be top off.

24:57Temperatures are hitting lows of four degrees.

25:01They urgently need to check on the topless driver's welfare.

25:05Looking at this, it looks like the male's actually run off into fields.

25:12They should stand out like a sore thumb.

25:13Reaching the crash site, Sandra gets the latest from a member of the public.

25:21Hello there.

25:22Hey.

25:23He's just up and over the brow there.

25:24He's come down a couple of times, I think.

25:26OK.

25:27And I don't think he's probably more worried for his health.

25:29Yeah, no worries.

25:29Very good.

25:30All right.

25:31No worries.

25:32The driver has ploughed into a roundabout and embedded his car in the undergrowth.

25:40With a fire crew on scene to tackle the potentially smouldering wreckage.

25:45Yeah, I think we're just going to relocate.

25:48The interceptor's priority is finding the driver, who could have critical injuries.

25:53Just in that gateway there.

25:57Oh, that'll be in there, then.

25:58One shirtless man wandering metres away from the roundabout wreck.

26:06Hello, fella.

26:07Hello, you all right?

26:08You need to stay where you are, buddy.

26:09All right, mate.

26:10All right.

26:10I'm a bit worried about your welfare, because you're car avenue.

26:14Have I?

26:14Yes.

26:15Oh, yeah.

26:16OK.

26:18Where's hurting on you at the moment?

26:20Nowhere.

26:20Nowhere?

26:21No.

26:24Why are you, um, not clothed?

26:27What's happened this evening?

26:29I'm having a walk.

26:29You're just having a walk.

26:30Yeah.

26:32Sandra's not convinced by the topless Rambler's story.

26:35At this moment in time, I'm going to arrest you on suspicion of section four driving whilst

26:39unfit through drink or drugs.

26:41Just turn around to the front for me.

26:43OK?

26:44Because I want to make sure that you...

26:45I'm not aggressive, that's all.

26:47No.

26:47I want to make sure that you're fitting well, and we need to go through a breath test procedure

26:50on the roadside and smell alcohol on your breath.

26:53Let's come and get you sat in the car for the time being.

26:55Just mind this step.

27:00Nearly a fifth of all deaths on UK roads stem from collisions involving drunk drivers.

27:06Once this suspect is sitting comfortably, he'll be put to the test.

27:09Just take a seat in there for me, buddy.

27:13Mind your head.

27:13Ow.

27:14From advanced driver, teapack and stinger train to family liaison officer and even drone

27:23pilot, you name it.

27:27Interceptor of 24 years, Sandra has done it.

27:31You need to blow, not suck.

27:32No, that's not long enough.

27:36It's fair to say she's carried out hundreds of breath tests in her career.

27:40Deep breath in, and seal your lips around the tube, and blow.

27:43No, don't block it.

27:44Don't block it.

27:46You're not blowing into the machine.

27:48More than enough to know when someone is not towing the line.

27:51Listen, there's no breath flow going through that tube, so you're blocking it with your

27:55tongue.

27:55I'm trying to, I've got asthma, so I'm trying to blow.

27:57That is not a reason not to blow into the machine.

27:59I'm trying to blow, I'm trying to blow.

28:01Deep breath in, long continuous breath into the machine.

28:04Blow.

28:06No, not long enough, not hard enough.

28:09Attempt three isn't a success, nor is attempt four.

28:14You're not helping yourself.

28:16I'm trying to blow.

28:17Attempt five.

28:18You understand the concept of blowing?

28:21Yeah, blow.

28:22Or attempt six.

28:27What, what do you want from me?

28:28I've been blowing through the tube.

28:30Sandra has the patience of a saint.

28:33Right, listen to me.

28:35Open your mouth, seal your lips around the tube, do not block the tube with your tongue,

28:39and blow.

28:40Okay.

28:44You're not blowing.

28:46On the ninth breathtakingly bad attempt, they're calling it.

28:49He's arrested for failing to provide.

28:53I'm pretty cold, can I have a jumper please?

28:55I'm afraid we don't carry spare jumpers.

28:58Not very good, is it?

28:59I'll certainly go and get you a space blanket to warm you up.

29:03There's nearly a repeat performance with the drug wipe test.

29:07Just stick your tongue out for me.

29:08A bit further.

29:10Further.

29:11Further.

29:12Open your mouth and stick your tongue out.

29:14But Sandra manages to bag a sample of saliva.

29:18You could be doing, like, better things with your life.

29:21What, dealing with drunk drivers who are smashing into roundabouts?

29:25I'm not, I'm not smashing into roundabouts.

29:29And tucks the suspect into the back of their car with a space blanket.

29:32Is there anything else that's hurting on you at the minute?

29:37I didn't raise one hand and I got punched in the face by a policeman, but...

29:42Okay, that didn't happen.

29:44I don't know, I feel like it did happen, but...

29:46If that's what you want to say, that's what I want to say.

29:50The suspect passes the drug wipe test.

29:54While he's safely detained and warming up,

29:57Chris turns his attention to the utter carnage at the crash scene.

30:00We've got exposed electrics on this roundabout,

30:05so can we put the call in for Street Doctor to come out, please?

30:08He's actually managed to take the entire streetlight,

30:11still upright, about 15 metres,

30:14across the carriageway,

30:16onto the roundabout herself.

30:20The mangled BMW is completely destroyed.

30:24He's clearly carried some considerable speed into the roundabout.

30:28To have taken a streetlight out and sheared it straight off,

30:32the whole bonnet's bent in.

30:35Lucky he's not injured other people

30:36or had passengers on board that have been seriously injured or hurt.

30:39For him to be just walking and talking with minor head injuries,

30:42he's an incredibly lucky young man.

30:46Northamptonshire's luckiest man is still talking

30:48and trying a change of tack.

30:52Is someone taking my car?

30:54Excuse me.

30:56Yeah, and I've already told you,

30:57I'm not willing to discuss it any further.

30:59Are you under arrest or suspicion of driving it?

31:01Is really someone taking my car?

31:03Although there is a silver lining to his behaviour.

31:09At least he's got the ability to be annoying

31:11rather than being unconscious,

31:14needing medical attention from the fire crew for myself,

31:17waiting for ambulances to get him here

31:18and potentially trying to just keep him alive.

31:21I've got to put him in the car a bit too aggressively.

31:24OK, that's fine.

31:24That's not going to prevent you getting out of the car, is it?

31:26This is all being recorded.

31:29You're making yourself look stupid.

31:31Just get out of the car.

31:32I'm just having a good time.

31:34Yeah.

31:35What that's in for is make me feel like a bit of an alien.

31:39Without anyone to beam him up,

31:41Chris will be ferrying the suspected drink driver to hospital.

31:46Use your body heat to keep you warm.

31:50Once he's had a check-up,

31:51blood samples will be taken and tested for drink and drugs.

31:56Unsurprisingly, Northamptonshire's luckiest man

32:02didn't give a blood sample at hospital

32:04and later pleaded guilty for failing to provide.

32:08He was disqualified for driving for 30 months,

32:10ordered to do 200 hours of unpaid work

32:13and fined £199.

32:15On average, there are 300,000 uninsured vehicles

32:29using the UK's roads every day.

32:32It's such a widespread issue

32:34that the insurance companies fund

32:36the Motor Insurance Bureau

32:39about £500 million a year

32:42to assist people that have been involved

32:44in collisions with uninsured vehicles.

32:46The bottom line is,

32:47it comes off everybody's insurance premiums.

32:50So the more uninsured cars we take off the road,

32:53the safer everybody is

32:54and the smaller everybody's insurance premiums

32:57would be, in theory.

33:07When did that hit?

33:08A minute ago.

33:11Interceptors Michael Hollowell

33:12and, in the driver's seat, Charlie Ward

33:14are investigating an odd ANPR camera hit nearby.

33:18Not insuring a pricey Porsche

33:31would be unusual,

33:32but stranger things have happened.

33:36So Charlie and Michael

33:37make their way to a bridge over the M1.

33:40I'll get out,

33:41because it'll be easier.

33:43Let me have a load of air.

33:45The perfect viewpoint

33:46to spot the all-electric grey Porsche Taycan

33:49as it passes underneath them.

33:52Instead of showing them the torch

33:53directly at the driver's eyes,

33:55shining it behind the vehicles

33:57just to get a read on the number plates,

33:59it's quite hard to see them.

34:02Although I reckon I could spot

34:03some Porsche headlights coming towards me.

34:06It'd be good if I could spot it before he did.

34:11It's a two-horse race.

34:16That's it there.

34:21That was it.

34:22That's it there.

34:25We'll call that a draw.

34:27Yep.

34:28That was definitely it.

34:31Hitting the gas...

34:33Such distinctive rear tail lights.

34:38They get behind

34:40the potentially uninsured

34:42high-performance motor.

34:45Nice car.

34:46Yeah.

34:48Or don't, no.

34:49Yeah.

34:50Just in case he fails to stop.

34:54Pulling in front of the Porsche,

34:56Michael lights up the follow me sign.

35:01Another intercept unit

35:02is also falling in behind

35:04in case the suspect driver

35:06takes advantage

35:06of being able to hit

35:070-60 in under 5 seconds.

35:11It's dropped a long way.

35:15Why do they always do that?

35:17They just let off the gas, don't they?

35:20This is electric, though.

35:21It's got no gas.

35:22Yeah.

35:23It's indicated left, so...

35:26Luckily, whoever is at the helm

35:28of the Porsche's first

35:29all-electric sports car

35:31follows Charlie and Michael

35:32to the services.

35:33Hello, sir.

35:37How are you?

35:38I'm changing any problem.

35:39So we've got information

35:40to say that it's not been

35:41insured for quite a long time.

35:44The driver and passenger

35:46have paid £2,000

35:47to hire the valuable vehicle

35:49and claim that insurance

35:50is included.

35:52Charlie takes a look

35:53at the documents.

35:55It's a rental agreement.

35:56It doesn't say...

35:57I see it says insurance

35:59at the bottom,

36:00but the car's not showing up

36:03on any policies.

36:05What is that policy?

36:06What is that?

36:07I'll have a read through.

36:08It's not a policy, though, is it?

36:10It's a hire agreement.

36:12All car hire companies

36:14usually provide

36:15third-party cover as standard.

36:17If there's been a slip-up,

36:19the lads could find themselves

36:20in a tight spot

36:21and the luxury rental car

36:22will be seized.

36:24A car like this,

36:26I mean, I know it's a 71 plate,

36:27but it's still an expensive car.

36:28It's £100,000, £105,000.

36:30Is that what they are?

36:31The intel marker on the thing,

36:33so it's £105,000.

36:34Blimey.

36:37After some more digging with control,

36:39it's not good news.

36:41Yeah, it's not been insured

36:43since the 11th of the 4th,

36:44which is a month.

36:4611th of April?

36:47Yeah.

36:47There's been...

36:51This is for an Audi A3.

36:52Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

36:54You're in my back.

36:54But this is what it would look like

36:56for this car.

36:57Yeah, but...

36:58But...

36:58This vehicle has not been...

37:00This vehicle has not been insured

37:01at all on any policies

37:04since the 11th of April.

37:09Interceptors will be taking the Porsche

37:10off the road.

37:12OK, pass the key over.

37:15No, there's no one sitting.

37:17And the driver could be facing a fine

37:20as well as six points on his license.

37:23You're going to be a reporter

37:24for driving no insurance?

37:26What?

37:26Like, if you can prove it,

37:28like, there is actually a...

37:29Yeah, if you can prove

37:30that there's an insurance policy in place,

37:31then we won't take the ticket any further.

37:33We thought you were insured.

37:35No, no, I understand that.

37:36I do understand that.

37:38Whether these guys were innocent parties

37:40that have hired it,

37:41that might come out in the wash.

37:43But, yeah, it is pretty unusual

37:44for a car of that value

37:46not to show up on an insurance policy.

37:48So no matter whether it's

37:50a high-value vehicle such as this one

37:51or a low-value £100 banger,

37:54we're just enforcing the law

37:55and everyone gets treated the same.

37:57while the occupants wait in the services

38:01for a lift,

38:03all that remains is the delicate operation

38:05of getting the pricey Porsche

38:07on the back of a recovery truck.

38:11That'll do you.

38:14Did you find the P-bond?

38:15Yeah, yeah.

38:16And then the off-bond.

38:20Well done.

38:21Well done, that man.

38:24Stress.

38:24The uninsured Taycan

38:29was taken off the road,

38:31but the case against the driver

38:32was later dropped at court.

38:40Still to come.

38:43A rookie mistake lands a driver

38:45in hot water.

38:47Why don't you start being honest

38:47before you just go to custody

38:48because I'm getting sick of it.

38:54It's a busy Sunday night shift

39:14and the radio is alight

39:16with incoming calls.

39:17What's that job about?

39:26But as soon as interceptor Harrison Beverly

39:28starts blue lighting to one incident,

39:31his next job pulls out in front of him.

39:35After appearing to pull in,

39:46a mini driver changes their mind

39:48and veers back in front

39:49of Harrison's marked BMW.

39:55It's got its hazards on

39:56as if it's going to pull over.

40:01They can barely stay in the right lane.

40:03Harrison calls it in.

40:07It's not stopping at the minute.

40:10The speed's only 3.5

40:11and if it doesn't stop

40:13in the next 10 seconds

40:14I'll have to call it a fair stop.

40:18In the nick of time,

40:19the driver pulls over

40:20and stays over.

40:27Step out the car for us.

40:29Put your handbrake on.

40:30Put your handbrake on.

40:31Step out the car for me.

40:33They're not off to a good start.

40:35What was that about?

40:37Have you had a drink or something?

40:38Yeah, I'm a little bit.

40:39Step out then.

40:39I'm right, it's about 29.

40:40I'm not supposed to step out.

40:42OK, you're under arrest

40:43for telling us off at the minute.

40:43You don't have to say anything

40:44to me, I'm defence for him.

40:45It's no question.

40:46Something which you like when I can't

40:47anything to do so may be good evidence.

40:48No need to step up the car for me, please.

40:51Queen van Harrison

40:52is highly skilled at detecting

40:54when someone isn't telling

40:55the whole truth.

40:57He's about to put this dodgy driver

40:59under pressure.

41:00Do you know you've got it?

41:07Yeah, yeah.

41:08Have you got a full licence

41:09up original?

41:10Me?

41:11Yeah.

41:11I've got a full licence,

41:12but I don't know the...

41:14Although the 18-year-old claims

41:18to have a full driving licence,

41:19he quickly coughs

41:20to not having any insurance.

41:22Who's that in the passenger seat?

41:25That's me, mate.

41:27Is it his car?

41:28No, it's not his car.

41:29OK, so how do I know

41:30that this car hasn't been stolen?

41:33Well, I wouldn't really drive it

41:34if it was stolen.

41:37But after a check on the lad's details,

41:39it turns out he would drive it

41:41without a full licence.

41:42You've got a provisional,

41:44haven't you?

41:48Oh, my God.

41:48That's all right.

41:49You've got a provisional,

41:50though, yeah?

41:51So why don't you start being honest

41:52before you just go to custody

41:53because I'm getting sick of it?

41:54All right.

41:56Things are rapidly going

41:57from bad to worse

41:58for this lying lad.

42:00Hello, my name's PC Beverley

42:01from the Rhodes Police team

42:02in Northampton.

42:03I'm with your vehicle at the minute,

42:04the Mini Cooper.

42:05And they could go downhill further

42:07if the Mini's mystery owner

42:09doesn't back up his story.

42:11Yeah, so what's the crack with it?

42:13Obviously, your mates have got it.

42:15Is it a case of you generally didn't know

42:17or is it a case you want to make a report

42:19that it's being taken

42:20without your consent

42:21by your friends?

42:23His mate doesn't want

42:24to make a complaint.

42:25Your vehicle's now getting seized

42:27to Section 165 Road Traffic Act,

42:29which means it's no insurance

42:30because he's got no insurance

42:31to drive it.

42:31All I can say to you

42:34is don't give people permission

42:36to drive your vehicles.

42:38Very silly.

42:40It's going to cost the owner

42:41£192 to get the car back,

42:44plus another £26

42:46for each day it's left in the yard.

42:49Whenever you're ready,

42:50just blow into that tube, please.

42:54There's zero alcohol involved

42:55in tonight's display.

42:57It's a simple case

42:58of driving lessons needed.

43:01Well, I was going to stop

43:02and then I didn't really think

43:04it was safe to stop

43:05on that road sort of thing.

43:06Obviously, I can see

43:07you've got your hazards done,

43:08but the fact that you pulled

43:09back into my path

43:10when I was going past

43:10it nearly wiped me out.

43:12Yeah, I don't really

43:14like no sort of thing.

43:16I sort of went to...

43:17Do you think the fact

43:18you don't know

43:19is because you haven't

43:19got a license?

43:21No, I've been on the road

43:22for ages.

43:23I ride motorbikes

43:23and everything,

43:24but I pulled over to...

43:25Yeah, but the fact

43:25you've got a provisioned license,

43:27you haven't proved

43:28you can pass your test, yeah?

43:29If we'd have squeezed

43:30against something,

43:30we'd have been nowhere to go.

43:32Yeah, yeah.

43:33After some food for thought,

43:35Harrison de-arrests

43:36the teenager

43:37for failing to stop

43:38and reports him

43:39for driving without

43:40a license or insurance.

43:41I know it's mates having

43:44a laugh, but...

43:45Yeah, nah, but...

43:46They have consequences, yeah?

43:49One consequence

43:50they will face tonight

43:51is having to find

43:53a lift home.

43:54I think it's probably

43:55hit every single thing

43:56it can.

43:58It's dense everywhere.

44:01Mr Bump's motor

44:02comes complete

44:03with some questionable rules.

44:05I think just getting

44:06shut up and hold on,

44:07I think that sums up

44:08too far.

44:09Poor passenger,

44:09probably that's what

44:10he was thinking

44:10the whole time.

44:11The minidriver

44:15pleaded guilty

44:15to driving without

44:16a license or insurance.

44:19He was ordered

44:19to pay £314

44:21in fines and costs

44:22and he received

44:23eight penalty points

44:25on his provisional license.

44:26$314.

44:28$515.
