CreativityTranscript
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.
00:44This is what it is, isn't it? We find them, we lock them up.
00:51Coming up...
00:53A seven-tonner does a run-up.
00:58Extreme rambling in the woods.
01:04Get the dog, get the dog, get the dog!
01:06Come on, go down the A6, go down!
01:09And...
01:10This is incredible.
01:11Absolutely incredible.
01:13A drug haul for the ages.
01:15I have not seen anything like this in six years of policing.
01:23The war on crime...
01:33Stay where you are!
01:36Stay where you are!
01:37...sees many battles.
01:38Get on the floor!
01:39Put your hands!
01:40Get on the floor!
01:41Put your hands!
01:42Get on the floor!
01:43And in their rolling struggle with gangs who rob lorries...
01:45Put your hands on your back!
01:46After all that.
01:47Oh, bastards.
01:48Cops taste defeat as much as victory.
01:51They could get down to the bridge and go across onto, uh, Swamp Valley.
01:56But interceptors never give up the fight.
02:08We're just getting a report of, uh, uh, Ock Barrack at Watford Gap Services.
02:14Ock Barrack's the national operation in relation to theft of load from, uh, HGVs.
02:23Lucy Scalthorpe is arriving at a lorry park after CCTV captured a theft in progress from an HGV.
02:31.
02:36There's plenty of lorry drivers awake.
02:41Delta 17.
02:42I'm just having a look around the lorry park now.
02:44I'm just having a look down the line of lorries at the minute.
02:48These so-called curtain siding jobs involve slashing the fabric sides of lorries to make off with the goods inside.
02:56You can see how often these get done.
02:59These are all repaired, but there's loads of them.
03:05But just one fresh slash.
03:08That might be a new one.
03:10Hello!
03:11Police!
03:15You all right?
03:16OK, OK.
03:17So, we've been called because maybe people cutting.
03:20Yes, I'm, I'm looking at these, uh, two persons.
03:23You saw them?
03:24Oh, this way.
03:25OK.
03:26This driver disturbed two men in the process of cutting into his curtain side.
03:30Maybe 30, 40 minutes.
03:34OK.
03:35All right.
03:36Rather than confront the men, he started his rig to scare them off.
03:40This park place is very dangerous, eh?
03:43Yeah.
03:44The culprits seem to be long gone.
03:46OK, no problem.
03:48And you.
03:49But as Lucy returns to the road.
03:51Delta 17, I'm just joining the A14.
03:55News of another potential curtain side job.
03:59The sergeant's just been notified of a new set of plates for the cloned Iveco truck that we were looking for in relation to our barrack.
04:07But we've just had an activation in Northamptonshire near to our services.
04:12Thieves often use HGVs to carry off as much cargo as possible.
04:20And the cops are tracking a lorry they believe has previously been used in curtain siding.
04:25Brad's going to try and get behind it carefully.
04:28But we've just got to form some sort of plan as to how we're going to stop it.
04:31Because obviously it's quite a large vehicle.
04:33They don't expect stolen goods on board.
04:36The priority is to get the lorry off the road to avert potential thefts.
04:41And the plan is to box it in with multiple cars backed by air support.
04:49The helicopter's above now.
04:50The target lorry, all seven plus tons of it, will take some stopping.
05:02They can be really dangerous.
05:04They've got a massive size and weight advantage over our vehicles.
05:09Yeah, it can be really risky.
05:14Lucy joins serious horsepower for the super heavyweight boxing.
05:25Every car in this convoy is a cop.
05:28And the four at the front face the biggest risk.
05:33Move on, move on, move on.
05:36Because tactical pursuit and containment is go.
05:43Three cars surround the lorry.
05:46Box on, box on, box on.
05:50Now to slow down and drop a fourth in behind.
05:53But the lorry rams an armed response vehicle and brakes free.
06:00Oh my God.
06:02On September 6, this vehicle, they've got to stop.
06:09It is trying to ram up these vehicles.
06:12Bumber cars with a seven and a half tonner
06:14is understandably alarming for Sergeant Perry
06:17and his partner on the inside lane.
06:20Mate, mate, mate, mate, mate, mate, mate.
06:22No, I bet we've got people.
06:24No mate, we're on the next side.
06:26That'll cut it up.
06:28If we help me and talk about that.
06:32As cars behind negotiate debris from their ram colleague,
06:35at the sharp end,
06:40the unstoppable target leaves the A14.
06:45It makes it pop, pop, pop.
06:48Perry's Volvo is now the lead car,
06:50with a weight disadvantage of about six tons.
06:54Not one, not one.
06:58Not two, not two.
07:00Vehicle is taking the third, taking the third.
07:06The A512.
07:10Vehicle is still continuing down the A512,
07:13approaching red ATF.
07:15Wait.
07:16Neither blue nor red lights are stopping this lorry.
07:25Vehicle has taken a right-wide drive down the nil-nuts lane.
07:28And there's no room to box it in here.
07:32The cops are running out of moves.
07:34Oscar 1 from Leicestershire.
07:35Are you in command of it?
07:38They're also running into Leicestershire,
07:40where county cops will take the lead from Sergeant Perry.
07:44We're trying to keep our distance back under circulation.
07:47We keep our ball on.
07:49As they race into a village,
07:51North Hans hands the bat on to Leicestershire.
07:55Oh my God, the cavalry.
07:59But with seven and a half tons of runaway hell-bent on escape,
08:03the cavalry looks pretty helpless.
08:07There's no way that one can do this.
08:10So.
08:12Two counties of cops can't stop the runaway,
08:14whose next move is the craziest of all.
08:16It's the wrong way down the carriageway.
08:21Don't follow me.
08:23The super heavyweight lorry is racing the wrong way down a dual carriageway.
08:31It's gone midnight and the roads are quiet.
08:33But as cops track it on the right side of the road...
08:39The lorry is racing towards headlights up ahead.
08:43Interceptors are after a runaway lorry they suspect has been used in curtain-side thefts.
09:02It's clipped an armed response vehicle and broken out of a box.
09:12There's no way that one can do this.
09:15Then made a crazy manoeuvre on Leicestershire's patch.
09:19One way down the carriageway.
09:21Oncoming headlights are heading for the seven and a half ton battering round.
09:26A car swerves onto the slip road seconds from disaster.
09:32And with cops from two counties on one side of the carriageway,
09:37the lorry slows on the other.
09:40Two men have bailed out.
09:46And as the pair make a break for it, cops leg it across live lanes in pursuit.
09:52The runners have cleared a fence and dropped into the woods.
10:02Get the door! Get the door!
10:04Somebody go down!
10:06Go down!
10:08Two cops follow the men in.
10:10While more move to contain any points where they can be picked up.
10:13Come on, go down the A6! Go down!
10:16Go down here!
10:18It's dense woodland.
10:19But the eye in the sky sees all.
10:23They're passing into the bushes.
10:24They're going towards the housing estate.
10:27Led by the chopper, they're closing in.
10:33Northside is a high fence.
10:34We're trying to get out of a high fence.
10:36We're now going back towards the rear of the lorry along the fence line.
10:40So the rear of the lorry, along the fence line, still at the A6 side.
10:44Just when it looks like the pair are in the net.
10:50Yeah, but we've lost sight of them, though, in the bushes.
10:53They pull a vanishing trick.
10:54We've not come out.
10:56But they can't hide for long.
10:57I've got them again.
10:58Back officer, stop, stop, stop.
11:00On your left-hand side now, immediately on your left.
11:03As far as you can go into the woodland.
11:05The net's tightening now.
11:08So you go the right way.
11:10When you get to the fence, turn left.
11:12And that'll take you towards them.
11:13Second officer will go.
11:14Stay where you are.
11:16Directly in front of you.
11:17Now standing still against the fence.
11:19Led from above, Leicestershire units are bang on target.
11:23I don't have a tiny under-rest felt stopped.
11:25Dangerous drive, okay?
11:26Don't say anything, mate.
11:27I'm going to figure the metro and question something.
11:28I don't call any user.
11:29Making an evidence, okay?
11:32Both men are soon in cuffs.
11:35You just unloosen that one slightly.
11:37Ready for a ride to the neck.
11:39Thank you, you've got both detained now.
11:42Are you happy for us to resume?
11:44Cops achieved their goal of taking a cloned lorry with suspected links to curtain siding off the road.
11:51Any potential thefts from the lorry park earlier in the evening were also thwarted.
11:56After a lengthy investigation, no action was taken against the tight-lipped pair nicked in the woods, as cops couldn't prove either was driving.
12:04Another night, another shot across the bows in an endless battle with suspected curtain siders.
12:13Six walks, failing to stop, failing to stop.
12:20As dramatic as life as an interceptor can be,
12:23Police! Stop it now! Stop it now!
12:25The biggest jobs
12:30Get out of the car! Get out of the car now!
12:34Aren't always the loudest.
12:43So, we're currently on the Hemingwell in Wellenborough.
12:50This area predominantly is known for drug use and drug and gang violence.
12:56Josh and Alex are on an evening sweep of a drug hotspot.
13:00We're going to patrol the area for a little while and see what we can find.
13:03It's all quiet on the Hemingwell front.
13:06No one's out tonight. No one's playing out.
13:09And the guys are considering moving on.
13:11When the only car on the road triggers their collective spidey sense.
13:19When you've got cars with blacked out windows going to an estate like this,
13:25it's always good to run them through the box to see if we've got any information on our systems about them.
13:31The question is, do their checks on the shady Golf R warrant a peek behind its tinted windows?
13:36Yeah, let's put it, mate. Let's get rid of it and see what he's doing.
13:40I don't know what he's doing.
13:41Oh, guys. Hello.
13:42Hello.
13:43Hello, lads.
13:44Yo, are you driving a nice time, yeah?
13:45Yeah.
13:46Do you live here?
13:47No, no. I'm just good with my friends.
13:48No, it's good with my friends.
13:49Oh.
13:50Well, is this your friend here?
13:51Yeah.
13:52They're an unlikely duo, and while one half of the odd couple searches for his driving
14:12license, the other looks for clarity.
14:19But there are more questions than answers.
14:22How do you know him?
14:25We drink sometimes, together, beer.
14:28You drink beer together?
14:29Yeah, we do.
14:30Drinking buddies, then.
14:32How do you know each other, though?
14:33How have you met?
14:34Oh, no, we work together.
14:35I wouldn't come to.
14:36Or work colleagues.
14:38How old are you?
14:40Forty.
14:41You're 40, are you?
14:43Either the driver has an incredible skin care regime, or these guys are quite the intergenerational
14:49double act.
14:49Have you ever been stopped by the police before?
14:51No, not really.
14:53Just for that speeding.
14:54That's it.
14:56Sorry, my friend.
14:57I'm going to go grab a cigarette and come back to you, yeah?
14:59Okay, okay, okay.
15:00You stay here for a sec.
15:01Stay here.
15:01All right, yeah.
15:02I'm just going to take you through our system, but okay?
15:04Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
15:07While Alex runs him through, Josh jolks the driver's memory.
15:11You've been arrested before, haven't you?
15:12Uh, no, I haven't.
15:14I've only been arrested.
15:16That was a long, long time ago.
15:18Easily forgotten.
15:19A couple of years ago, man.
15:20You're good.
15:21You're good to go.
15:23Can I go back?
15:24Yes.
15:25Yeah, it's fine, yeah.
15:27Life begins at 40, and one half of the odd couple is free to go and enjoy it.
15:33His history checks out.
15:35His drinking buddy-come-work colleague, on the other hand...
15:39Moment of time, mate, you are going to be saying under section 23, Mr Jogs Act.
15:42Yeah.
15:43Okay?
15:43Do you understand that?
15:44Yeah.
15:44Cool.
15:44Put your hands in front of me, please.
15:46They're going to search him and his golf.
15:49Is your car unlocked for my friend, yeah?
15:50Yeah, let me unlock it, then.
15:51Because it seems he's forgotten quite a lot.
15:55The grounds of my search is that we've got recent information on police systems
15:58to suggest that you are involved in supplying drugs in Wellenborough.
16:02Okay?
16:03You have met up with a lad much older than you.
16:06Yeah.
16:06Okay?
16:07And you both told me different stories while you're meeting with each other.
16:10Okay.
16:11Okay?
16:11You told me you worked with him, and he said you're just here to have a drink with him.
16:14Yeah, exactly.
16:14So, for me, it raises my suspicion that one of you are lying.
16:19No worries.
16:20Okay?
16:20Do you understand?
16:20Yeah, you can search me.
16:21So, yeah.
16:22Yeah.
16:23So, you're here.
16:23What are you doing?
16:24No, nothing.
16:25What's up with you?
16:26Nothing, nothing, nothing.
16:27Why do you keep moving around, then?
16:28I don't know.
16:30Are we going to find anything, fellas?
16:31So, you might as well be honest with us.
16:32Yes.
16:33Just a couple of bags of wraps.
16:35That's it.
16:35Wraps of what?
16:36Just cocaine.
16:37Wraps of cocaine?
16:38Yes.
16:39Whereabouts today?
16:40In my pocket here.
16:42In your pocket?
16:43Yep.
16:46Just that's all.
16:48Anything else in the car, chap?
16:49No, that's it.
16:50And just cash.
16:51That's it.
16:52Which, obviously...
16:52How many bags you got?
16:54We've come to a party.
16:55Just about six person in use.
16:56That's it.
16:58He's got off to six deal bags of coke plus pocket money.
17:01Where's your cash?
17:02Is it in it?
17:03It's in it.
17:03It's in it.
17:04It's in it.
17:04Yeah.
17:05Well, there's no dealing as well.
17:06I don't do no dealing.
17:07I work at the barbers.
17:10Holy heck at 100.
17:11You must be a whiz with the scissors.
17:13How much cash you got on you, buddy?
17:15Quite a lot of cash, isn't it?
17:16That's not a lot of cash, because that's my barbering money.
17:19Given the coke, the cops have doubts about his barbering money.
17:25The time is 20, 25, and you're under arrest for possession-intensive supply, class A drugs.
17:31He's still trying to spin the amnesia about past dealings with cops.
17:35But I've not been arrested there before, though.
17:39But you've been arrested now?
17:40Yeah.
17:40Yeah?
17:41Yeah.
17:43How many phones you got on you?
17:44I just do.
17:45We just got past the phones, which you can check anyway, so.
17:48You got two?
17:49Yeah.
17:52And someone really wants a haircut.
17:58073.
17:58Incoming numbers make the useful intel.
18:00And those wet shave appointments just keep on coming.
18:08These phones are very active.
18:12It's not active for the drugs.
18:15Hmm?
18:15It's not active for the drugs.
18:19Right.
18:20It's cold, isn't it?
18:20I'm going to sit you back in the car, and I'm going to sit you back in my car, and I'm going to sit you back in my car, and I'm going to sit you back in your car.
18:26No.
18:26OK?
18:27On your head.
18:28And that search...
18:32Oh, my God.
18:36Turns up a whole lot of barbering money.
18:40An insane amount of cash.
18:43There's got to be thousands upon thousands in there.
18:47Got more cash here.
18:50He's also got a parking ticket, so it's not a good day for him.
18:53He's not got much to smile about.
18:58Alex.
19:00Yeah.
19:01Does he need his tuggies?
19:02Does he what?
19:03Does he need his teeth?
19:04Want his teeth?
19:05Yes, please.
19:06Yeah.
19:06Yes, please.
19:08But at least he's got his pearly whites.
19:10The family will be taking him to custody.
19:12So, yeah, it's going to be a long night for him.
19:18And he's not the only one.
19:20Because with the world's best barber checked into the north, Hans Hilton...
19:24Oh.
19:24It's blues, twos and high-speed driving for Josh and Alex.
19:30We're on our way to search of a property of the suspect who we've just locked up.
19:36The reason why we're going on our blues and twos is because we've got intelligence to believe that his friends have been calling up on his mobile phone.
19:43So, they might get with that he's been arrested.
19:45Therefore, they might go to the address to see if he's left any drugs or cash at the house.
19:52So, time is off the essence for us now.
19:54We need to get to that address.
19:55And at warp five, that doesn't take long at all.
20:04I need seven. That's copy. Thank you.
20:12On arrival, they break the bad news to the barber's family.
20:15He's been arrested, so we've come in here to search his house.
20:18Did you show us his bedroom? Is that OK?
20:19Which one's his bedroom?
20:22Top of the stairs on your right.
20:23It's the one with the Class A drugs in.
20:26Jesus, that's what it's in here, mate.
20:28Is it?
20:31Let's get it in situ.
20:32Wow.
20:36Crikey.
20:39So, obviously, in this bag, we've got quite a lot of suspected Class A.
20:43It's obviously what we're looking for.
20:45And that's just the starter.
20:47There's more.
20:49Wow.
20:50Jesus Christ.
20:51Absolutely loads here.
20:52We've got thousands of pounds worth of street value here.
20:55I've suspected Class A.
20:57This isn't so much.
20:59Jesus.
21:02This is incredible.
21:04Absolutely incredible.
21:07It's the Class A gift that keeps on giving.
21:09I have not seen anything like this in six years of policing.
21:18And we deal...
21:20We deal with a lot of drug corn.
21:21We rest a lot of drug dealers.
21:24Every...
21:25I mean, there's another bag full.
21:27Thousands and thousands of pounds.
21:29I think it's going to be more.
21:31Yeah, there you go.
21:32There you go.
21:33Thousands of pounds.
21:34This is just incredible.
21:36It's a really, really good result, this is.
21:38Absolutely.
21:41I've never seen anything like it.
21:44Never seen anything like it.
21:45It's an insane amount of drugs.
21:47Oh, look.
21:47There's more, isn't it?
21:48Just quickly, mate.
21:49We're at the 18.
21:51I'm not joking when I say this.
21:53There's about 500 wraps of cocaine here.
21:57And that's at a minimum.
21:59Biggest job ever, mate.
22:00It's got to be the biggest job ever, mate.
22:02It has to be.
22:05This is massive.
22:07Massive.
22:11The guys can't wait to get back to the Knicks
22:13to tot up their haul.
22:15That's amazing.
22:20That's why we do the job.
22:23We've taken quite a big fish out of the game today.
22:51We want to rid our streets
22:52of these people.
22:54This product would have been sold to users,
22:57some of which are vulnerable.
22:58Some might have been given to children to deal.
23:04Coming up.
23:05Stop by, stop by.
23:07Eyeball on the second vehicle.
23:09Exit stage left, pursued by a dog.
23:12One runner, one runner.
23:13Stopping a fail to stop.
23:17Get your hand behind your back.
23:19Do it now.
23:20And a blunt reminder.
23:22That's come right through your engine, babe.
23:25Not to sit on the fence.
23:26If that had been another couple of inches higher,
23:29you'd be looking at being impaled by it.
23:31It's the night shift, and Dan Bradley Brophy is out in the burbs
23:51with police dog, Kola.
24:01Interceptors are tracking a car with multiple markers,
24:04resulting from intelligence gathered by other forces.
24:07It's got a mark on it that it's been involved in throw-overs
24:14at prisons, and also has failed to stop for another fork.
24:20Throw-overs involve bad guys throwing things like drugs or phones
24:24over prison walls, to be collected by inmates.
24:27A recent op has cut throw-overs in half at Northampton's biggest prison.
24:34He's curiously come down the M1 from, I think, Derbyshire,
24:38and for some reason now popping up around Northampton.
24:41And any car linked to them is a car of interest,
24:45particularly one that has previously run from cops.
24:48The traffic units are going to have a look for it,
24:51and I think we'll go give them a hand,
24:52just in case it should turn into a bit of a failed stop.
24:57Dan's preferred patrol car is anything with a dog in the back.
25:01So he's golden tonight.
25:03But his dog van isn't the fastest ship in the fleet.
25:09The plan is for speedier ARVs to get behind the target.
25:19But...
25:19That plan needs recalibrating as Dan spotted the Ford.
25:26I think it's towards St. Peter's Way, roundabout.
25:31The dog man holds the Ford until the extra horsepower rides in.
25:34It's a plan, but road drivers didn't get the memo.
25:58Don't try and squeeze your A in, mate.
26:04Formation tightened. It's time to test the water.
26:08I'll stick the lights off.
26:10They don't know who was driving it at the time,
26:13but the Ford has form for failing to stop.
26:16No compliance at this time.
26:18And early signs are tonight's driver won't book that trend.
26:36Failing to start for blues and twos,
26:38the Ford slows to a crawl
26:39and a masked passenger pops out and takes off.
26:43Down in the park.
26:44One running.
26:46He's dropped something,
26:47which he's risked going back for.
26:50Car's off.
26:50Fail to stop.
26:51Fail to stop.
26:52Dan and Cola are going after the butterfingered runner.
26:55Two ARVs are going after the car he got out of.
27:09Which is running reds at a high rate of knots.
27:14The ARV split up
27:15as the second car hammers the back streets,
27:18trying to get ahead of their target.
27:20Firearms cops know these roads inside out.
27:25But slowed by pedestrians...
27:27..and by traffic...
27:32..this one needs to go some.
27:43But at the speed the runaway's travelling,
27:46the back street shuffle proves a lost cause.
27:50..and they're still second fiddle to the lead car.
28:02It's a high-speed convoy
28:03as the runaway leaks two cars out of town
28:06and onto rural roads...
28:11..before suddenly...
28:17..throwing in the town.
28:20..the driver's struggling.
28:22..the driver's struggling.
28:23Mate, get your hand behind your back, mate.
28:25Do it now!
28:26Put your hand behind your back, mate.
28:27Do it now!
28:29Get your hand behind your back.
28:30Do it now!
28:31Get your hand behind your back.
28:32Right, that's all you need to do.
28:34Come on, mate.
28:34Come on, mate.
28:35Come on.
28:36Come on, mate.
28:37Come on.
28:38OK, pal, you're under arrest for dangerous driving
28:40and fail to stop at the minute.
28:41You don't have to say anything.
28:42My own defence if you do not mention when questioned.
28:44So it was later on in court.
28:46As they get him to his feet, the driver looks fine for his struggle.
28:51OK, pal, you're under arrest for dangerous driving and fail to stop at the minute.
28:54You don't have to say anything.
28:55My own defence if you do not mention when questioned.
28:57So it was later on in court.
28:58So it was later on in court.
29:00As they get him to his feet, the driver looks fine for his struggle.
29:04Hey, you got any injuries or anything like that?
29:07Are you all good?
29:08This looks good, though, yeah?
29:09As long as you're OK.
29:10I'm good.
29:11Oh, man.
29:12It was your mate that ran on.
29:13Shh, shh.
29:14It's OK.
29:15It's all on camera.
29:17It is indeed.
29:20But the driver doesn't seem to remember this guy bailing out of his passenger door.
29:25OK, I've done that.
29:28You don't know what we're talking about.
29:30So you don't have guns on you?
29:31Yeah.
29:32For what?
29:33Well, for firearm stuff.
29:35Where are you from?
29:36I was visiting my cousin from Northampton.
29:39I'm from London, sir.
29:40You're from London, sir.
29:41There were two others in the car when it was stopped.
29:43So I'm just going to search you now, all right?
29:45But a search of all three occupants and the vehicle reveals nothing dodgy.
29:49Yeah, steady, steady.
29:51The cops suspect the country drive was to draw them away and allow the decamping passenger to escape.
29:58Can I come in?
30:00If so...
30:01I've been moving quite quickly.
30:04It worked.
30:05Yeah, just not my day for getting him, but the car's been stopped and the driver's been arrested.
30:11It won't, however, prevent the man at the wheel of the car he left from facing driving charges.
30:17Have you got a driving licence?
30:18Huh?
30:19Provisional.
30:20Yeah.
30:21Have you got insurance?
30:22Yeah.
30:23It's a mobility source.
30:24Open insurance.
30:25Well, not for you if I'm on a provisional licence.
30:26He's on a provisional and therefore unlikely to be covered by insurance.
30:30Just jump in there, mate.
30:31I'll give you a bit of leg room.
30:32Just jump in there.
30:33So, no passenger but one in custody.
30:36And some suspicious wheels off the road.
30:39The focus that's been taken away now had markers from other forces in relation to being involved in drop-offs in prisons with drones.
30:49So, using drones to drop drugs and other contraband into prisons.
30:52The, he also had some other markers, but it failed and stopped for police.
30:57And so, yeah, it's nice to get that off the road.
31:00The driver of the runaway Focus, who forgot his fleeing passenger, was convicted of dangerous driving and driving without a licence or insurance.
31:10And he got a four-year suspended prison sentence.
31:14I saw the car pass me about 100 miles an hour.
31:25Oh, right.
31:26Interceptors attend more road traffic accidents than they'd like.
31:30Any injuries?
31:31They've seen all kinds of crashes.
31:33He's done a red line.
31:34Yeah.
31:35Laurie's flipped him and then he's made off.
31:37With all kinds of drivers.
31:39Because you've been involved in a collision and you're currently under arrest on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle
31:44whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol.
31:45But by far the most likely group to be involved in an accident.
31:49So, you changed this tyre this morning?
31:51Yeah.
31:52I think that's the worst tyre I've ever seen.
31:54Are new drivers with no experience.
31:56It's got chunks out of this somewhere.
31:58It's like someone's been eating it.
31:59Yeah.
32:00You learn to drive with an instructor, but you really learn how to drive when you're out doing it on your own.
32:07New drivers, no matter what their age is, don't know their limits or their capabilities.
32:12So, I'd say they definitely are more at risk of crashing.
32:19Yeah, push to it.
32:31It's the early hours and Keith and Michael are in a hurry.
32:35Off the 8.45.
32:36Yeah, and it's the work road down towards Wharton.
32:39Towards Wharton, yeah.
32:40Yeah.
32:41They're responding to an urgent call about an RTC.
32:44The car has come through a fence.
32:47Reports say a car crashed on a straight road with no other vehicle involved.
32:52Sounds to be a dodgy to me.
32:54Advanced driver, advanced motorcyclist.
32:57Michael's even got his HGV license.
33:00It's fair to say he can drive in a straight line.
33:04How can you crash on a straight bit of road?
33:08Yeah.
33:09On the straightest road since Roman times, they approach the crashed car.
33:14Well, he's done a right mess with that, isn't he?
33:19Steppin' heck.
33:21Amazingly, driver and passenger walked away.
33:25Oh, are you all right?
33:27Yeah, I'm fine.
33:29Who's the driver?
33:30I'm the driver.
33:31You've gone through one fence, gone out and come back through another fence.
33:34Yeah.
33:35Bravo.
33:36I was drinking my water and it wasn't paying attention.
33:39You was drinking your water and you wasn't paying attention?
33:41Yeah, I'm fine.
33:42So, because of that, we're obviously going to have to breathalise you.
33:45OK.
33:46Have you had an alcoholic drink today?
33:47There's many people telling you to drive and work.
33:49Have you had any drugs at all?
33:50No.
33:51OK.
33:52How old are you?
33:5317.
33:5417.
33:55When did you pass your test?
33:56Three months ago.
33:57OK.
33:58So, would you suggest that probably it's your lack of skills behind the wheel?
34:03Yeah, probably awareness of it.
34:05Yeah.
34:06All right.
34:07True to his word...
34:08Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
34:11Fence killers had neither drink...
34:13Put your tongue right out.
34:14...nor drugs.
34:15That's a negative on the drugs.
34:17...but he's likely to face charges for his driving.
34:20Because, er, of what you've done to your car, what you've done to the fences...
34:25Yeah.
34:26...you're going to be reported for driving without due care of attention.
34:29OK.
34:30All right.
34:31He should be relieved he's around to be reported at all.
34:34Have you seen the wood?
34:36No.
34:37You're a lucky boy.
34:38Well, where's the wood?
34:39Really lucky.
34:40The fence they crashed into is a pointed reminder to always pay attention at the wheel.
34:47Has it gone through the windscreen?
34:49Wow.
34:50That's come right through your engine bay.
34:51It's flying.
34:52If that had been another couple of inches higher, you'd be looking at being impaled by it.
35:03A fence post passed right through the engine bay and buried itself in the driver's seat.
35:09His legs must have been either side of it at impact.
35:13I'm actually unsure how that's missed him.
35:16This guy should buy a lottery ticket pronto.
35:18I've never seen anything like that before.
35:21Seasoned traffic cops Michael and Keith can't quite believe it.
35:25Oh, my God.
35:26That's gone right through the... over the engine, over the gearbox, through there.
35:31Hello.
35:32So precise, isn't it?
35:33It's missed everything.
35:34Yeah.
35:35Including him.
35:36Somehow, the state missed the engine, the gearbox and the drivers.
35:40Va, va, va.
35:44Looking at that, he's come down here.
35:46Somehow, lost control.
35:48Clipped the kerb there.
35:50He's probably then overcorrected, hasn't he?
35:53That vehicle's all in all of the...
35:55But then that's clipped him across.
35:56There.
35:57Over there.
35:58Yeah.
35:59So you can see wood in there as well.
36:01Where it's hit here, it's kind of...
36:04There.
36:05Yeah.
36:06In there.
36:07In there.
36:08Literally just...
36:09Destroyed the whole fence.
36:12And it seems the wood in the driver's seat isn't the only stake that stabbed the car.
36:18The engine bay looks like a game of kerplunk.
36:21It's punctured the sump.
36:23Really?
36:24Yeah.
36:25Even the engine itself was pierced.
36:27There's a stream of oil going through the grass.
36:29I've showed you that where he's punctured the sump.
36:32Yeah, yeah.
36:33And with the driver's dad on hand to see how close his son came to disaster...
36:37Because then you can see the oil all the way.
36:41Everyone can breathe a monster sigh of relief.
36:44I've seen these types of things where people are not coming out alive.
36:49So your son is a very lucky boy.
36:51Lucky boy's good fortune continued.
36:54No further action was taken regarding allegations of driving without due care and attention.
36:59It's fair to say somebody up there likes him.
37:03I've been 17 years old.
37:06And that bit of wood's missed him...
37:08Well...
37:09Missed him by centimeters, isn't it?
37:12Just amazing.
37:22Sounds pretty concerning at the minute.
37:25Coming up...
37:26No witness to seeing a female being forced into a vehicle.
37:30All systems go after reports of a kidnap.
37:32We're gonna head to that address as quick as we can.
37:35As we've done.
37:54It's approaching midnight.
37:56We're gonna head to 99, likewise.
37:57Richie and Harrison are racing to reach the scene of a worrying incident called in by the public.
38:09No witness to seeing a female being forced into a vehicle.
38:13I've got limited details at the minute.
38:16Apparently you're screaming, take it off me.
38:18Probably could be treated as a potential kidnap.
38:21It could be as hard as nails, but Harrison's a family man with a soft spot for anyone in a tight corner.
38:28Sounds...
38:29Pretty concerning at the minute.
38:34Five door, five feet are a state star car.
38:41Roger.
38:42The description of the car into which the girl was bundled is pretty vague.
38:46Yeah, I'm just trying to search on local cameras at the same time for anything that's sort of fits that description, sort of black in colour in a state car.
38:56And the plot thickens.
38:58ARV1 found a phone at the scene.
39:01It contains a bank card.
39:03Cops have found a phone where the suspected abduction took place.
39:07And a cash card with a teenage girl's name on.
39:1019 years old.
39:12Richie and Harrison come to a decision.
39:15We're not far from the address.
39:16We're grade one in there now.
39:18Roger.
39:20So, ARV's have found a bank card for someone that's in a phone case by the looks of it.
39:29We've had a look on niche and we've found a location that the potential female that's had some involvement.
39:37We're going to head to that address as quick as we can.
39:40They need to piece together the facts.
39:43If this is kidnapped, then the phone could be a victim's or a suspect's.
39:48Or the whole thing could be a mistake.
39:51Left left at the top.
39:53Either way...
39:55Right right again.
39:57The registered address of the girl on the bank card is a good place to start fact finding.
40:02Clearly.
40:04But before they get there...
40:06The female's turned up.
40:07Bank card girl returns to the scene in a black corset.
40:12And it's...
40:14She's with a IC3 male.
40:16She's arrived with a friend to find her phone.
40:19Bit of a coincidence though, isn't it?
40:21With no grounds to detain, firearms cops at the scene have let the girl retrieve her phone and go.
40:27But Richie and Harrison have doubts.
40:30Just a big coincidence, isn't it, for my liking?
40:32It's a bit strange at the minute.
40:35There's...
40:37A person returned to pick the phone up from where this potential kidnap happened.
40:41And the car she left in isn't far away.
40:44It's this vehicle in front.
40:46They've been spoken to, but...
40:49Just trying to establish further details.
40:50They're convinced something doesn't add up.
40:55No, no, we're behind that car now.
40:58Might stop it again and give us further questions.
41:00And it's starting to shed a little blue light on the mystery.
41:03Hello there.
41:04I know you've just spoken to some of my colleagues, but can I just...
41:19Rather than be...
41:20Just so it's safer, do you mind just stepping out on the car?
41:21Which I'll check you there, please, both of you.
41:22I don't know how much the officers told you earlier, okay, but I'm going to tell you maybe a little bit more than they have because I want to bottom this out.
41:33Earlier this evening, right where your phone was found, there was reports of a female having some sort of argument with one or two males,
41:41and it looked to someone like they'd end up being pushed in the car.
41:45Is it possible that that was you?
41:46No.
41:49Richie's favourite TV show is The Traitors.
41:52And he'd be a damn hand in the castle.
41:55All it takes from Sergeant Lie Detector...
41:58Is a look.
42:00Just thinking it was a prank.
42:02Pardon?
42:03Yeah, it was a prank.
42:04So was it you?
42:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
42:06So you just said no.
42:07It was not an argument.
42:08I need a straight answer here.
42:09What was going on there?
42:10It was just a prank.
42:11Tell you what, do you want to come and chat with me?
42:12Yeah.
42:13Okay.
42:14So what happened?
42:16We were messing around.
42:17Okay.
42:18Like playing around.
42:19And I ran out, so I didn't like this song.
42:21We were just messing around.
42:22It was supposed to be a prank.
42:23So you've had an awful lot of police officers looking into this because we think it looks like a suspected kidnap.
42:28So your prank's gone a little bit wrong in that sense, hasn't it?
42:31You see what I mean?
42:32I'm so sorry.
42:33That was not supposed to happen.
42:35They need to be sure she's not lying out of fear for her safety.
42:40So you've got an opportunity to tell me something different here.
42:41Was it a prank or was it a little bit more serious?
42:43It's not anything.
42:44I'm completely fine.
42:45What happened in the prank?
42:46You tell me.
42:47What did you do?
42:48I just ran.
42:49I got out of the car and then I was running away as a joke.
42:51Who are you running away from?
42:53This man here?
42:54Is he partner, boyfriend, friend?
42:56No, just a friend.
42:57Okay.
42:58And who else?
42:59My other friends.
43:00Your other friend?
43:01Yeah.
43:02And what did they do to you as part of that prank?
43:04I jumped out as a joke and they came to chase me.
43:06It's like, it's a thing on TikTok.
43:09Right.
43:10Yeah.
43:11I don't know if you've heard of it before.
43:12I don't do TikTok.
43:13So go on.
43:14What's it on TikTok?
43:15It's just like a trend.
43:16Is it?
43:17You run away.
43:18Yeah.
43:19It seems they were trying to resurrect an old online trend.
43:23It's from years ago.
43:24Where folk uploaded clips of staged chases.
43:27Why'd you run after her?
43:28Because she was just trying to be silly.
43:30I'm actually so sorry for wasting time.
43:32I didn't remember.
43:33We've called out, somebody's been called out to review some specialist CCTV.
43:37You weren't far away from instigating a major police operation.
43:41Your friend was also involved.
43:45Yeah.
43:46The third man.
43:47Is this him?
43:48Can I talk to him?
43:49Yeah, you can talk to him.
43:50Hello?
43:51Hello?
43:52Hello there.
43:53It's the police.
43:54The third man's version of events checks out.
43:56Probably not the wisest of options.
43:59I'm 100% not, man.
44:01And the prankster three are innocent.
44:03Is this going to go on TV?
44:05I hope so.
44:06And it's going to go on TV.
44:07And look at my hair.
44:08It's not even going to pop in, even in pajamas.
44:10It's not the hair, but it's the Crocs.
44:12Yeah, I've got Crocs on as well.
44:14That should be a criminal offence.
44:16In the absence of the fashion police, no further action will be taken against the prankster three.
44:22Anyway, I'll let you two hopefully be the stars of a police intercept show at some point with your Crocs and PJs.
44:29Wait, I watched this show.
44:30There's one there.
44:31There's one there.
44:32There's one there.
44:33There's one there.
44:34I actually watched all that nighttime.
44:35Well, you're free to go.
44:36You're free to go on your way.
44:37Enjoy the rest of your night.
44:38And in the nicest possible way, I hope we don't see you in the same circumstances again.
44:41I'm going to get kidnapped again.
44:42I'm going to get kidnapped again.
44:43I'm going to get kidnapped again.
44:48All right.
