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 a stop.
03:45Alex and Andy move into position to attempt to stop.
03:46TN8, Tango 47, it's contact, contact with that vehicle.
03:51Lane 4, speed is 9-0.
03:53Vehicle moves to lane 3.
03:55It's all aware of my presence.
03:59Thank you for that, Sierra 2, monastery.
04:03Vehicle moves to lane 2.
04:05Speed 8-5.
04:07Alex and Andy move into position to attempt to stop.
04:12I'm going to go past now, so I think I can't control it.
04:16Just watch that one in lane 3, mate.
04:29Roger, mail.
04:31Could potentially be in.
04:35Alright, see if we're just in.
04:37Just come up to 200 yards forward, power at the front of Southlake.
04:41It's going for it, mate, it's going for it.
04:44NA, vehicle is failing to stop.
04:46Standby, taking call sign for suit.
04:48Vehicle is lane 3, 9-0.
04:51Can we let M-PAS know, please, and other forces.
04:54Vehicle is making ground on me as it's got a 500 brake horsepower engine in it.
05:00Sgt. 4-7, call sign for suit.
05:02Thank you for continuing this time.
05:03M-PAS is being called.
05:07We're doing obscene speeds down the M1, and it's like a rocket ship.
05:13The speed is in excess of 150, which is making ground on me.
05:17We are lane 4, the RA is medium due to speed.
05:21We've got low, sorry, medium traffic, no pedestrians.
05:24It's still lane 4.
05:27Approximately 200 yards.
05:28Standby, make sure everything's come off.
05:30I think when a vehicle fails to stop, it makes you think, what other things is this person
05:36doing, and why are they failing to stop?
05:37Is there more to it?
05:38Have they got something on board they shouldn't have, that they really need to get away?
05:41It's heavy rain for information.
05:44And it just makes you a bit more aware of what are they willing to do, because ultimately
05:48there could be some innocent person just going about their business that ends up being hurt
05:53or killed, and that's not what anyone wants.
05:55And it's over the brow of the hill out of the way.
05:57And the vehicle is still lane 4, and it's committed, committed northbound.
06:04Approximately 200 yards in the distance.
06:06And hey, you need to let South Yorkshire know about this.
06:08It is pulling away from me still, and I'm at 158 miles per hour.
06:13The RA is high due to speed and weather conditions.
06:16At these distances, I doubt I'll be able to tell you if it comes off.
06:28I'm committing north, carrying on.
06:30And hey, just let me know if it's the NPR cameras, if it catches it.
06:35Yes, we're seeing that.
06:36So we all recognise the auction now as well.
06:41Any officers that take you on to the slip roads for stingers, please ensure it's live
06:46I'm cancelling, it's no point.
06:51The conditions are just horrendous.
06:56So, yeah.
07:01I know this car is registered locally.
07:03I've dealt with this man previously.
07:06So head up to near where his address is, and I'm going to see if it comes past.
07:12I'm at the federal station, I'll set this thing off.
07:16Yeah, we're going to go to his house, which I will be absolutely astounded.
07:20There we are.
07:22And he spots the vehicle heading towards Alex's stinger site.
07:25It's going to come to the end of our area.
07:27Tango 47, it's gone past me.
07:33There comes the stinger.
07:35I managed to get all four tyres.
07:38Won't be going anywhere fast.
07:39Alex has got all four tyres.
07:43Well, you can't really go very far on all four tyres.
07:48It's got to be dumped somewhere.
07:49You're not going to drive around with 4-4 gone, are you?
07:53It's a right nightmare down here.
07:55It's like a rabbit warren.
07:57It's just the first place after.
08:00Well, if you went straight on at the roundabout there instead of going left, it's first place.
08:03It's just a state in the middle of nowhere that you might dump stuff.
08:09That bloke's dunking cannabis.
08:11The driver of this vehicle's been dealt with before by the police for a variety of other things,
08:15so 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?
08:30Just put your hands out for me.
08:31Stop there.
08:32Turn around.
08:32Turn around.
08:34Put your hands for me behind your back.
08:38Put your hands behind your back.
08:38Behind your back.
08:39I'll explain a minute.
08:40Behind your back.
08:40Hold on, hold on.
08:41Behind your back.
08:41I'm just putting it in my pocket, mate.
08:45What are you doing?
08:49Right, at this time,
08:50OK, you're under arrest and suspicious of dangerous driving.
08:52OK?
08:53OK, and also driving must have disqualified.
08:55OK, so you don't have to say anything, but it may own defence, let me show you now.
08:57Sorry, something like that in court.
08:58I think he'll do something in good evidence.
08:59OK, you're arresting yourself from to effect an investigation,
09:01but also to prevent your disappearance.
09:02OK.
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.
09:16You got him, Scott?
09:17Yeah.
09:17Just grab me here, 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?
09:24Have you been smoking cannabis?
09:25Smoking a bit.
09:26Well, I've got a real suspicion to believe that you've been driving a motor vehicle dangerously.
09:29OK.
09:30So, therefore, you're going to require to provide a sample of saliva at the roadside, OK?
09:33Must warn you that they're fair to provide a sample of defence.
09:35So, if you say you're not doing it.
09:36I'm walking.
09:36Say, listen to me.
09:37I'm not interested in what you've got to say.
09:38Let's do what I've got to say.
09:39OK?
09:39Right.
09:40So, if you fail to provide a sample, then you'll be arrested, OK, for doing that.
09:44OK, so, are you willing to provide a sample of breath, sorry, a sample of saliva for analysis?
09:48Yeah, yeah.
09:49You are, lovely.
09:50Yeah, but...
09:50Do 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, if I'm, like, I'm not in the car and you can't really do anything, then...
10:02Well, that's for the courts of the side, isn't it?
10:04I've come out, right, for a joint basis.
10:07Where's your lift?
10:08Eh?
10:08Where do you live?
10:09I've been at my mate's house.
10:09Who's your mate?
10:10So, we can just clarify all this.
10:11No, I don't need to say that.
10:12This is really tight with one.
10:13Yeah, no, well, we're sort of tight, won't we?
10:15I've just been walking, like, I've been to my mate's house and I was just walking on the
10:19way back.
10:20If it's the case of mistaken identity...
10:23Listen, I've literally just been smoking a joint right now.
10:26I'm allowed to do that, right?
10:27Well, no, you're not allowed to do that.
10:28I'm not allowed to do that, but what I'm saying is, you can't arrest me if I'm just walking.
10:32I can.
10:33Well, you shouldn't be.
10:34If I'm walking, like, I don't understand what you've got.
10:38Well, it's probably sort of an interview, won't it?
10:40Right, sir, have a seat in the back of there for me, please.
10:42So, I believe you've been driving a vehicle that's failed to stop the police and drive
10:51it dangerously at massively excessive speeds, OK?
10:54And he seizes the suspect's phone, wallet and keys.
11:01Oh, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay.
11:03Open your mouth, stick your tongue out.
11:05Side of your mouth, open it a bit wider.
11:07This one as well.
11:08And it's on again.
11:10Sort of.
11:12As Andy waits for the result.
11:21Nearby, Alex and other officers locate the BMW.
11:26The tyres have completely come off the wheels, so it looks like it's been a successful sting.
11:31And we've also just been told that PC Swift found the car key that we suspect belongs to
11:37this 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 try 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 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.
12:05There's not many people that carry around £20,000 in a plastic carrier bag.
12:09A large amount of cash in the environment of the vehicle is lifting.
12:12Oh, you're further under arrest for possession of criminal property, OK?
12:15Or money-warnering, it's also known, OK?
12:17So, caution still stands.
12:20Oh, we're faill for cannabis.
12:21So, you're further under arrest for driving and motor vehicle.
12:23That's how they prescribe it for a specified substance of the name of cannabis.
12:26All right.
12:27Custody we go.
12:28While Andy takes the man into custody,
12:33Alex and other officers arrive at the suspect's address.
12:39Hello there.
12:40Have you got a son?
12:41Yeah.
12:41We've currently got him in custody at the moment, OK?
12:44Yes.
12:44Because 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 house?
12:51Because this is the address that he's given as his home address.
12:54Apparently, the keys for his shop are here also.
12:58So, which we're going to be taking those as well.
13:01We'll be searching that address.
13:04Coming up...
13:05There's loads in the address.
13:07A search of the shop...
13:08Thousands.
13:09...reveals even more cash.
13:11Five, ten, twenty...
13:15And an officer's instinct...
13:17We are seizing the car.
13:18You should be driving it, should you?
13:19I'm in a public place right now.
13:21...uncovers yet another unlicensed driver.
13:24And he'll ask me to take a go, four, three.
13:26And if we've got another unit, we can come and assist.
13:28We've got a mail who's...
13:29I'm not very happy.
13:30On the outskirts of Derby...
13:42It's going for it, mate, it's going for it.
13:44And a vehicle is further to stop.
13:47Traffic cops Andy Swift...
13:49Speed is in excess of one, five, zero.
13:52And Alex's head...
13:55Have been pursuing a disqualified driver...
14:00Stop there, turn around, turn around.
14:03...who was found with a large amount of cash in the back of his car.
14:07Oh, it's self-cannabis, so you're further undressed for driving a motor vehicle.
14:10So they prescribe it for your cannabis.
14:11...that ended with a search of his house.
14:25So we've just completed the search of named address of the guy which 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.
14:41The 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.
14:57Where's this money coming from?
14:58And it will be a case of seizing the money.
15:01And he'll have to prove it comes from a legitimate source.
15:06Oh, that's some words.
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.
15:24I find what you'd sort of expect for a shop.
15:27A float, a few hundred pounds, pound coins, notes, all that sort of thing.
15:32But then I notice underneath the other till there's another locked cupboard.
15:37Do you have the key for this?
15:38No.
15:39Which they'd not even mentioned.
15:43OK.
15:44Give me two seconds.
15:46Could you just let me out, please?
15:48I think the key's in the car.
15:49But Channel 9 in a clumbo.
15:52And I finally realise that he's got a key on his keys that we've seized.
15:56It looks like the same one.
15:57There's loads, isn't there?
16:10Thousands.
16:11Yeah.
16:11Do you know how much was there?
16:14How much?
16:15I don't know.
16:15You don't know?
16:16OK.
16:17In there, probably about £60,000 or £70,000, which his parents said nothing about.
16:23You're putting it all in one bag?
16:24Yeah.
16:26So that money is going to be coming with us and it'll be interviewed about where it's all originated from.
16:33Because people who commit traffic offences are more likely to be involved in other types of criminality.
16:46I have to listen to read this out, all right, so it sounds all very...
16:50As Andy checks the suspect into custody to be questioned...
16:56Cash, monies.
16:59...Alex updates his sergeant, Scott Riley.
17:02Five, ten...
17:07What if he'd have pulled over?
17:09Fifteen.
17:09Me and Lucy said exactly the same thing.
17:10We're going to run this, what are we?
17:12Twenty.
17:13Take your top off, down, take your base layer.
17:16So effectively we'll now split the cases.
17:18We've got all the evidence that we need for the driving.
17:22Let's slip his shoes off for us.
17:22Because he is such a risk of how he's driven today, the danger he's put himself in, the danger he's put other road users in, and he continues to drive us disqualified.
17:34We will be putting an application in that he's remanded in police custody.
17:38He'll go straight to the courts tomorrow.
17:40And we will be asking the courts to send him to prison under remand so that he can't drive us disqualified.
17:48Whilst all that's happening, colleagues in the Financial Investigation Unit will be going to court to evidence and prove that that money is from criminal means.
17:59Once 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, from his takings, from his shop, but it's a very, very small convenience store.
18:11I don't think many convenience stores have got liquid assets like that.
18:17Thank you very much.
18:19Cheers.
18:23Disqualified, unlicensed and uninsured drivers are responsible for thousands of road traffic collisions every year.
18:32Attention.
18:34The car's just gone past us with showing no insurance.
18:40I've run it through.
18:42There's no keeper on it currently, so someone's using it as a trade vehicle.
18:47Or it's got no insurance.
18:52Alex is near the end of another 12-hour shift,
18:56and his onboard computer has identified another possible illegal driver.
19:00Right up, boss.
19:05Yes, mate.
19:06Your vehicle's showing you're having no insurance.
19:09Is it yours?
19:10It's on traders' policy.
19:12Oh, right, okay.
19:13It's a trade plate.
19:14Yeah, yeah.
19:17To rest, I didn't see the trade plate staff.
19:19You've not put one in the back.
19:22I've not put one in the back.
19:24Oh, it should be.
19:25Yes, sir.
19:27Oh.
19:28No.
19:30Funny that.
19:31It's funny.
19:32I don't know.
19:34I think it's on the floor.
19:35The driver believes the car is insured and checks his policy.
19:41I can see you've got quite a few cars in there.
19:43You run to your car trading.
19:45It's not, isn't it?
19:46No.
19:47I don't know why it's not an insurance, to be honest.
19:50Got to make sure that you're adding them.
19:53I honestly thought it was an insurance.
19:55Yeah.
19:56I'm literally just taking it back down now,
19:58so I've got a guy who wants to come and buy it,
20:00and I genuinely thought it was an insurance.
20:02Okay.
20:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
20:05Can I just add it?
20:06It's too late.
20:08Can I just add it now?
20:09Right.
20:09I'll be honest with you.
20:12You're going to be getting a ticket.
20:14However, if you can add it, get it added now,
20:16and we're not going to seize it.
20:18So you can keep it.
20:20So you're going to be reported for the consideration
20:21of prosecuting you for the above offence,
20:23which is driving a vehicle on the road
20:24without third-party insurance.
20:26You don't have to say anything, but it may harm you an offence.
20:27If you do not mention now something which you later land in court,
20:30anything you do say may be given an evidence.
20:31Do you understand the...
20:32Yep.
20:34You just get a quick signature squiggle in the box.
20:37As the man has a licence and the car is now insured,
20:41he's free to get back on the road.
20:45So I've let this guy go on his way.
20:47He's got a ticket.
20:48If you get caught driving a vehicle with no insurance,
20:51six points on your licence and a £300 fine.
20:54But he's got to keep his vehicle.
20:55And he'll ask me 10.043.
20:59Can I just pass you a quick VRM?
21:02Before Alex heads back on patrol...
21:04It's a white Audi Q5.
21:07...his suspicions are raised yet again.
21:10Another vehicle's just pulled into the garage,
21:12and straight away he gets out.
21:14He'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.
21:24I swear to God, I've got a vehicle.
21:24And if you don't have any driving licence details,
21:27then at this time, I don't know who you said you are.
21:31I've come to drop off some chickens.
21:32Okay.
21:33Unless you've got any ID to prove it,
21:34and your driving licence,
21:37this vehicle's going to get seized on the 165 of the road traffic car.
21:39I'm not going to get seized.
21:40For what reason?
21:40Because you've not got any ID.
21:41Listen, the boys are sure I'm the driver.
21:43I'm legit.
21:43Okay, I'll tell you what.
21:44Okay, where's your phone?
21:50You got a phone?
21:51Where's your Facebook account?
21:53Can you bring that up and see what that says?
21:57Okay.
21:58Everybody's got, okay?
22:00Everybody's got.
22:01Yeah.
22:01On their phone, they've got something, haven't they?
22:04Yeah, well, I don't need to.
22:04I've got private stuff I'm not going to get to you.
22:06I've not been arrested.
22:07I'm not fingy.
22:08Okay.
22:09All right, no worries.
22:11When someone starts reacting like that,
22:13you know you're onto something.
22:14Oh, you might be right.
22:15I'm very well, thank you very much.
22:16Right now, I'm just going to be taking it.
22:18I don't think he is who he says he is.
22:26I will be asking him questions.
22:29The insurance comes back to a female,
22:32but they're not outstanding, they're not wanted or anything.
22:36Yes, yes.
22:37So it turns out that the person whose name he has given me,
22:40it's actually a female's name.
22:41It's not his.
22:43All right.
22:44So we're not insured?
22:46No.
22:46No, cool.
22:46Good to know.
22:47A lot of people end up trying to give us false details.
22:50They give their brother's name or their friend's name
22:52or something like that.
22:53But we always end up finding out.
22:55Can I just leave it parked here?
22:57I'll park it up.
22:58Yeah.
22:58You get out anything you need.
23:00Yeah.
23:00Okay.
23:00No, I'm going to get my wife to come pick it up.
23:02No, it's getting seized.
23:03Why are you getting seized?
23:04Why?
23:04It's off the road.
23:05Mate, I've got the car key.
23:07Why have you done that?
23:08Because I've seized it.
23:08Because you're not insured.
23:09Okay, you've been giving me the one around.
23:13There's a large difference between somebody making an admin error
23:16and somebody who just thinks,
23:21I'll just take this car out and drive it uninsured.
23:24And they know they're not insured.
23:25And they just don't care.
23:27You got my wife to come pick the car?
23:28No, it's getting seized.
23:29I've got it.
23:30Seized.
23:30Seized.
23:30For what?
23:31Seized.
23:31For you to take it for an hour so I can pay to get it back to make money off me.
23:34How much is it to take it out?
23:35I think you've got 180 quid.
23:36180 quid.
23:37Are you going to pay that?
23:38No, 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?
23:44Any ask for 1004-3.
23:45Can I get a 165 seizure, please?
23:47I'm at the BP garage.
23:49And if we've got another unit, we can come in and assist.
23:52I've got a male who's not very happy.
23:56We don't issue tickets out to make money.
23:58When we seize a vehicle, any fees don't come to us.
24:02That's purely just to the recovery garage.
24:04Right, fella.
24:06What?
24:06You got some ID?
24:07Because I'm going to need to give you a ticket.
24:09Okay.
24:09Ticket for what?
24:10Driving without insurance and potentially, I don't know if you've got a license.
24:13Okay.
24:14The other option is we get you arrested.
24:17Arrested for what?
24:17Driving without a vehicle with no insurance and no license because you can't prove who you
24:21are.
24:22What?
24:23Yeah, I'm not the practitioner.
24:24I'm not the owner.
24:25You get a lift here now.
24:26I'll come and get the car.
24:27And we are seizing the car.
24:29Okay.
24:29Okay.
24:30So it's best not you tell your wife to come, okay?
24:32Because we are going to seize the car.
24:34So she's taking it off you.
24:35Okay.
24:35Is my wife going to take it back?
24:37No, we're going to be taking the vehicle.
24:38No, but why are you going to charge me 180 quid to take it?
24:40Why?
24:40You shouldn't be driving it, should you?
24:42I'm in a public place right now inside a car park, mate.
24:44How can you not do that?
24:47Robbers, I swear to God.
24:48What do you mean robbers?
24:50Take the car to get picked up tomorrow and pay 180 quid for the night.
24:52Shouldn't be driving it.
24:54What do you mean, shouldn't be driving?
24:55We shouldn't be driving it, should you?
24:56Okay.
24:58N8, I'm going to 4-3.
24:59Can I pass you details of this mail?
25:00I've got to stop.
25:01Yep, pass details.
25:03If you can try and find him on DL, that'd be much appreciated.
25:08Getting no trace nominal or DL with those details.
25:11We can't find your driving license details.
25:16Have you got a license?
25:20If I can't prove who you are...
25:21What do you mean you can't prove who I am and give you my details?
25:24What do you think?
25:24I'm going to give you some random details, I might.
25:27It's besting me out enough as it is.
25:29Why is this all my fault when you're the one who's driving?
25:32No, I'm not.
25:32No, wait.
25:33Why don't I get the insured person to come and take the car?
25:36N8, could you just possibly run this guy through PNC as well, please?
25:41This mail is known to us on news.
25:46There is a marker for a firearm.
25:48Yeah, that's great. Thank you very much.
25:51The firearms marker.
25:53Can you tell me how old that is, please?
25:55He's got a lot of warning markers.
25:58He's been in and out of prison.
26:00He's got multiple offenses for serious assaults.
26:05Backup arrives.
26:08Right.
26:08Because I can't find a driving license, okay,
26:12you're going to be reported for consideration of the question of prosecuting you
26:15for the above offenses, which is driving without third-party insurance,
26:18and also driving on a road and otherwise in accordance with a license, okay?
26:22So you do not have to say anything, but it may have an offense.
26:24If you do not mention now something which you later on in court,
26:26anything you do say may be given in evidence.
26:28Do you understand those two offenses?
26:30Yeah?
26:30Are you willing to sign?
26:33No.
26:33No. Okay.
26:35Recovery's just locked up.
26:36Okay, do you want to get anything you need out of the car?
26:38Yeah.
26:38All right.
26:40Thank you for coming.
26:43So the vehicle's been recovered, 165, for no insurance.
26:46I don't think he's got a license.
26:48He's now got a proof he has.
26:50Done all the searches we can to try and find his license.
26:53We've asked him to provide details of his license.
26:55He couldn't do it.
26:56So now it's a case of the actual owner of the vehicle.
26:59I'll have to go and collect it.
27:00It won't be him, though, because he's not insured.
27:03And as I say, I don't think he's got a license.
27:05So hopefully he won't be driving again.
27:14Coming up...
27:15Do you live here?
27:16Oh, no.
27:17Why are we parked on the road?
27:18Where is this?
27:18Not too far.
27:19Yeah, exactly right.
27:21The crackdown on illegal drivers continues.
27:23I'd have to guess I'd say it's because you're a provisional license holder.
27:28And a speeding van...
27:30We think this isn't going to stop.
27:31I don't think this one's going to stop.
27:33...reveals more than expected.
27:36It would seem that the chap driving has put a set of no plates on from another vehicle
27:39to try and hide the fact that he's disqualified from driving for previous offences.
27:42What was...
27:59Why did you take him over there?
28:01What'd he done?
28:02Traffic cop Andy Swift and a colleague are running speed checks.
28:07Oh, he's turning off.
28:08He's turning off.
28:10Who 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.
28:24Trying to set him.
28:26It turns off the road and into a driveway.
28:29We can't tell who was driving when this vehicle has pulled on to the driveway.
28:33It's pulled on quite a way down the road.
28:36But he's not doing the best job of trying to get away.
28:38Jump down on time, zero, eight.
28:39As Andy runs a check on the car, the suspect driver's apprehended.
28:45NA from Oscar Tango 4-7.
28:47We've just had a car do a bit of a make-off, but we've located it.
28:51He's just randomly left it on here and then done one, but we've detained him.
28:55Do you live here?
28:55I don't know.
28:56Why haven't you parked on the road around?
28:57Where's this?
28:58Not too sure.
28:59Yeah, exactly right.
29:00Have you got some keys for it?
29:02Because if not, we might have to damage it to get inside it.
29:04No, because the person ran off...
29:05So we're going to have to damage it to get inside it.
29:07Listen...
29:07Is it your car?
29:09No.
29:10I wasn't driving it.
29:11No, that's not the question.
29:12Is it your car?
29:13No, no.
29:13No.
29:16Basically, I've just been from the barbershop.
29:17We're going to get something to eat.
29:20Go get some...
29:20Listen to me now.
29:21Listen to me now.
29:22What's the reason it's been dumped on the driveway?
29:25I'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?
29:30Mate, the car's going to be seized and you're going to be reported for driving,
29:32otherwise in accordance with your licence sector speed.
29:36The young man is a learner driver, but claims he was a passenger.
29:41NA from Oscar Tango 4-7.
29:42Can I have a 165 recovery, please, for this vehicle?
29:51The one that I mentioned.
29:53We've got a no licence, no insurance, we believe.
29:56This gentleman's been speeding towards my colleague
29:59and I don't think he's wanted to be caught.
30:01So what he's done is he's dumped it on some random person's drive,
30:03which is not here, and nothing to do with this person,
30:05and then he's had a bit of a run up the road, I think,
30:08because by all accounts, from checking out this chap,
30:09he's got a provisional licence,
30:10so obviously shouldn't be driving it.
30:13So, it'll be coming with us.
30:15As they wait for recovery,
30:17two more young men turn up.
30:20Gentlemen, you all right?
30:20Hi, hi, hi.
30:21That's my little brother.
30:22Hmm?
30:23It's your little brother.
30:25You see?
30:25Ring him.
30:26Well, as long as whoever's driving the car comes back,
30:29there'll be no issues.
30:29So what happened?
30:30It doesn't matter, does it?
30:32He's 18.
30:32He didn't need to tell you.
30:34Yeah, I know that.
30:35He's just got a family wedding today, so...
30:37Well, he ain't going to no wedding, is he?
30:38Yeah, no, no, no.
30:39So someone's going to be very upset with him
30:40for missing their wedding.
30:42Yeah, he's just...
30:42Yeah, so...
30:44Obviously, if whoever was driving the car at the time
30:45just appears back,
30:46then we'll have no issues.
30:48I don't know who he was yet.
30:49I don't know who his car died.
30:51No.
30:52Well, then, gentlemen,
30:53nothing further for you
30:54if you don't want to hang around.
30:59Unfortunately, your brother's declined to help you.
31:03Despite his claims he was the passenger,
31:06the young man receives a ticket
31:07for driving without a licence and insurance.
31:11Still arguing the point now about it,
31:13but unfortunately, I'm afraid it's gone.
31:15Because you can't just park it on people's driveways either.
31:17So, there we are.
31:18See you, officer.
31:19Have a good day.
31:21I'm on here with you.
31:21Bye.
31:22We can't park.
31:23Bye.
31:23One of the most common ways
31:25illegal drivers disguise being on the roads
31:27is using cloned registrations.
31:33Attention.
31:34To combat this,
31:36officers like Andy Swift
31:37rely on intelligence linked to police cameras.
31:42Vehicle's just hit up.
31:45Any else, don't go 47.
31:46Go ahead.
31:49Show us the vehicle through for an AMPR hit, please.
31:52Andy's onboard computer
31:54has triggered an alert on a suspicious van.
31:59Is that what I told you about here, Swiftie?
32:01Is it now received?
32:05There's a van that's been knocking around Derby
32:07for three or four days.
32:08It's been identified as a clone vehicle.
32:09So, it's displaying number plates from another vehicle.
32:13I'm sure it's got ladders on top.
32:14It's got out, Swiftie.
32:16It was picked up on camera.
32:17It goes northbound, mate.
32:20You can join me on northbound motorway
32:21and I'll go in front with a follow me
32:23and you can sit behind it, mate,
32:24and we'll try and take it off somewhere
32:25and see what happens.
32:28Yes, yes.
32:29We'll keep you updated as to where we are.
32:31Yes, mate.
32:33Name for information and speed.
32:35One, zero, zero.
32:36Lane four.
32:38We think this isn't going to stop.
32:40I don't think this one's going to stop.
32:43Very few clone vehicles ever stop.
32:45Vehicle moves to lane one?
32:47Usually because, I would say,
32:48a good proportion of them are stolen.
32:51And they know it's a stolen vehicle
32:52and they're driving it around
32:53usually to commit further criminality.
32:55It's off, off, off.
32:56We're going to illuminate this vehicle, I know,
32:58before we get to end the slip.
33:02As the van slows down,
33:08Andy moves in for a stop.
33:11Sometimes people have a moment of clarity
33:13and they just think,
33:13you know what,
33:14I'm just going to pull over,
33:15it's not worth the hassle.
33:20Hello, you all right?
33:23Lovely.
33:27Yeah, I've got one male detained in cuffs.
33:29So, obviously,
33:30I've initially stopped you
33:31because of your manner of driving on the motorway.
33:32You're over 110 miles an hour on the motorway.
33:35Okay, also,
33:35we believe this vehicle is not what it is
33:37and we believe it's actually
33:37potentially a clone, stolen vehicle.
33:40Yeah, so if it isn't,
33:41I hope it's not,
33:42for your sakes,
33:43if it is,
33:43well, you'll be coming with us.
33:45All right.
33:45And 8, 10, 4, 7.
33:47The vehicle VIN number on the front
33:48has been covered up
33:49and the one at the side
33:49has been tried to be ripped off.
33:51However, they've not done a very good job.
33:52There's still some left.
33:53Would you be able to just give us the full VIN?
33:54I'll try and work out
33:55from what's left here.
33:56Most vehicles we deal with
33:57that are cloned,
33:58they're very rudimentary clones.
33:59They'll just be a set number
34:00place if you're stuck on another vehicle.
34:01So you can go and check the VIN plate
34:02and the vehicle identification number
34:04and the VIN plate
34:05will come back
34:05to a different registration number.
34:07Are you both known to police?
34:08I am, yeah.
34:09Are you known to...
34:10What for?
34:13What, driving offences,
34:14nicking, assaults?
34:16Have you got a licence?
34:17No.
34:17Disqualified?
34:18Yeah.
34:20I thought as much.
34:22Do I have a cigarette?
34:23Not at the moment.
34:23You potentially can, yeah,
34:24but not at the moment.
34:24If it's not stolen,
34:26if it's just a case of
34:27that it's just been on false plates,
34:29then we'll deal with it at the roadside,
34:30depending on how long.
34:30You'll be able to go.
34:32You will.
34:33Depending on how many times
34:34you've been locked up for Discord driving.
34:35Is it your van
34:36or is it someone else's van?
34:37Someone else's van.
34:37Alright, because the issue we've got
34:39is that obviously
34:39we need to find out who it is
34:40and we want to make sure
34:42that you two boys
34:42haven't stole that van from them.
34:44Well, I haven't stole nothing.
34:45Alright.
34:46Generally, I guess there's news to me
34:47and it's on false plates
34:48in terms of good.
34:49Alright, so who's your friend
34:51that you've had it off then?
34:51I don't know his second name.
34:52I'll be talking about it.
34:53What's your relationship to him then,
34:55if that makes sense?
34:55A friend.
34:57Don't take this the wrong way.
34:58Yeah.
34:59I know my friend's surnames,
35:01but you don't know your friend's surname.
35:02I've known him for about
35:03the last six months.
35:04You've known him for six months
35:04and you don't know his surname?
35:06Give or take, yeah.
35:07And how'd you contact him?
35:08No, he threw off
35:09some of the phone
35:09and the phone's dead.
35:10Your phone, alright.
35:11Okay.
35:12Because you can help us out
35:13and we can sort it out here
35:14or we can go around in circles
35:16and we can take you to the station.
35:19Pardon, sorry?
35:19I'm being a sheriff.
35:20I'm being a sheriff.
35:21I'm being a sheriff.
35:21I generally am.
35:22Yeah, okay.
35:23I think a four-seven still is here.
35:24Yeah, he's all right.
35:26Go on.
35:27Don't report us on the vehicle.
35:28Not nicked.
35:30Sweet.
35:32Your mail is a non-licensed holder.
35:35Also shown disqualified
35:36until the 20th of August 26th.
35:40Magic, we just checked
35:41on his PNC record
35:44as to when he was last dealt with
35:45for disqualified driving
35:46and how many times
35:47he's been dealt with for it.
35:50His last appearance
35:51of magistrates appears
35:53to have been
35:532020.
35:56Yeah, let's see if they could.
35:58Not been dealt with since 2020, mate,
35:59apart from in the summer,
36:00so three years
36:01between his last one.
36:02I'm not sure I'm 5-2,
36:03is it really?
36:03Report him here
36:04and send him on his way,
36:05I think, shall we?
36:06Right, I'll click that.
36:07Yeah, yeah.
36:08Come and stand on this side
36:09so you don't get run over, alright?
36:10I'm not going to shut that up.
36:10Right, so,
36:13you're going to be
36:14you're going to be cautious.
36:15You don't have to say anything
36:16but it may on defence
36:16not mention any questions
36:17from 30th and 20th and 2700 minutes.
36:18You're going to be report
36:19of custodial processing in defence
36:20driving a motor vehicle
36:20whilst disqualified from driving
36:21and also for driving
36:22that valid third-party insurance.
36:23Okay.
36:24I'll take these plates off
36:25and then you'll be able to go
36:28very shortly or something than that.
36:29It is a clone van.
36:30It's not stolen.
36:31It would seem that the chap driving
36:32has put a set of number plates
36:34on from another vehicle
36:34to try and hide the fact
36:35that he's not got a licence
36:37or insurance.
36:38He's actually disqualified
36:39from driving
36:39for previous offences.
36:41So he's just trying
36:41to hide that fact.
36:42Obviously, out and about working
36:43he's a scaffolder
36:44looking at what's in the back
36:45but still doesn't
36:46take away from the fact
36:47that he shouldn't be driving
36:47something else should be.
36:48Don't drive, mate.
36:50So, all in all
36:52not a bad result.
36:53Gets another vehicle
36:55off the road
36:55and obviously
36:55hopefully he'll
36:56get his just desserts
36:58at court.
37:03Coming up...
37:04A routine stop escalates
37:10when the cops
37:14pull over another
37:15uninsured driver.
37:17Hold your nerves.
37:18Come on, Mr Bin Lorry.
37:35And I take a photo.
37:37Traffic cop Jack Pressland
37:39is at the start
37:40of a day shift
37:40looking for
37:41an uninsured driver.
37:43Can you tell me
37:44what vehicle
37:44I'm looking for?
37:45Information's been passed
37:47that a regular
37:48uninsured driver
37:49will be out and about
37:51in Derby today.
37:54They've activated
37:55NPR cameras
37:56coming back
37:56towards the home address.
37:58It's five past nine
37:59they could still
37:59be doing the school run.
38:01So, we'll make our way
38:02there and see
38:03what we can find.
38:05As Jack spots
38:06the vehicle
38:07it pulls over.
38:09It's parked up.
38:15Hey, up, duck.
38:17Should I have a quick chat?
38:19Your car's showing
38:20no insurance.
38:22Okay, so...
38:23That's fine.
38:24Have you got any insurance?
38:26My insurance is going through.
38:27It's going through.
38:28Right.
38:28Three days ago
38:29I got a letter
38:30stating that my insurance
38:32is under investigation.
38:35Okay, I'll give you
38:35them back.
38:36Two seconds.
38:36Let me do some digging.
38:37If we can't prove
38:38that you've got insurance
38:40again,
38:40with everything
38:41that you're telling me
38:41your car's going to be
38:42seized, isn't it?
38:43I don't care.
38:43Just chill.
38:45No, I'm not
38:45because I've got enough on.
38:48What driving licence
38:49you got up?
38:50UK form.
38:51Full UK.
38:52You got a driving licence
38:53on you?
38:53Your picture card?
38:54I haven't got my picture
38:55card on me.
38:55It's with DVLA
38:56for change of address.
38:57Right.
38:58Yeah.
39:00Struggling to find
39:01driving licence
39:01at the minute,
39:02that's all.
39:03That's it,
39:03I've found it.
39:04Middle name of?
39:05Yep, got you.
39:06Yep.
39:07So,
39:09your insurance,
39:10obviously.
39:11Can you prove to me
39:11you've got insurance?
39:12If I could charge my phone
39:14and my phone's going to be
39:14cut, honestly,
39:15I swear to you.
39:16Let me find out
39:17when it was last insured.
39:18An 804-0.
39:22When was this vehicle
39:23last insured, please?
39:26So it's not been
39:26insured since July.
39:28It's not been insured
39:29since July?
39:30Apparently.
39:31Well, yeah, it has.
39:32Well, who's the insurance company?
39:33I can't remember the name.
39:35This is what I'm telling you.
39:36Chill.
39:37No, I won't chill.
39:38I want to go home
39:39to my little girl.
39:39Well, we're not going to
39:40get to the bottom of it
39:41until you chill.
39:42You know what?
39:43I wish I'd have
39:43pulled in.
39:44And then you'd have
39:45been in trouble
39:45a lot more,
39:46wouldn't you?
39:46No, you didn't even
39:47wash the pulling.
39:48I pulled in
39:49voluntary, actually.
39:50Yeah, and if you'd have
39:50failed to stop,
39:51then you'd have
39:51done even a favour,
39:52wouldn't you?
39:53I just want to go home.
39:54I've been up all night
39:54throwing my guts up.
39:56I've been sick at school.
39:57I want to get home.
39:58That's fine.
39:59Right.
39:59We'll crack on.
40:00What I'm going to do...
40:01OK.
40:02What I'm going to do,
40:03because we can't
40:04prove it at roadside,
40:04I'm going to seize your
40:05vehicle, just what
40:06you've previously told me,
40:07and you'll be issued a
40:08ticket.
40:08You're not going nowhere.
40:09I want to go home to
40:10my car.
40:10Listen, listen.
40:11If you're taking my car,
40:13I want to go home.
40:13I am taking your car,
40:14right?
40:15Take it, then I'll get
40:16to my three-year-old
40:17little girl.
40:17You can go to your
40:18three-year-old little girl
40:19in two minutes when you
40:20get a ticket.
40:20If not, I'll lock you up
40:22and you'll spend another
40:22couple of hours in custody.
40:24I don't care at this moment.
40:25Right.
40:26Wait five minutes.
40:29I want to go home.
40:30You're going home in two
40:32minutes if you hold your
40:33nerves.
40:34I'll get to my daughter.
40:35You're not understanding
40:37that as soon as I do this
40:38and you're making it more
40:40and more awkward.
40:41I pulled in voluntary
40:42without even flashing your
40:43lights or anything,
40:44and I got out of the car.
40:46Why's that?
40:47Because I go in my boot,
40:49actually.
40:51I could have got straight
40:52back in and flown off.
40:53I think I'd have caught you.
40:56When people get angry at us,
40:58you've just got to stay calm
41:00and the onus is on the
41:01driver to prove to us
41:03that they've got insurance
41:04and a licence.
41:05We've got the technology
41:07now to do further checks.
41:09If I've got reasonable
41:10suspicion that you're
41:11uninsured,
41:13not got a licence,
41:14your vehicle's coming with
41:15me and you're getting
41:15a ticket.
41:17Right.
41:17You're going to report
41:18for the consideration
41:19of prosecuting you
41:20for driving without
41:21valid third-party
41:22insurance.
41:23You'll be reporting
41:24for someone's for that
41:24offence.
41:25You do not have to say
41:25anything, but it may
41:26on me defend it.
41:26It should not mention
41:27now, something which
41:27later on in court.
41:28Anything you do say,
41:29may be getting evidence.
41:31My opinion is
41:32everybody's got to
41:33pay insurance.
41:34Right, you can get
41:34whatever property you
41:35want out of the car.
41:36Your car's going to be
41:36obviously seized.
41:37Otherwise, my premiums
41:39go up, my family's do
41:41and so does everyone
41:42else's.
41:43Have a good day.
41:47Can't please everyone,
41:48can you?
41:50So there you see,
41:51a very happy customer
41:52who's not got valid
41:53insurance.
41:54So a car's going to be
41:55seized, she's been
41:56issued a ticket and
41:57she'll have a day in court.
41:59Nobody likes the car
42:00being took off them.
42:01So people get more
42:03aggressive, think if they
42:05throw a paddy then
42:07they'll get away with it
42:08but unfortunately would
42:09bite the tongs and get on
42:10with the job.
42:10every 20 minutes, someone in
42:21the UK is involved in a
42:23collision with an uninsured
42:24driver.
42:26They just pose a huge risk
42:27to the public.
42:28They don't care about the
42:29safety of other people.
42:30They don't care if they have
42:31a crash into somebody.
42:32So the message needs to be
42:34sent that obviously isn't
42:35acceptable.
42:37And there's a massive
42:38correlation between people
42:39who drive without either a
42:40licence or insurance and
42:42criminality.
42:43Whether that be drugs,
42:45burglaries, shop thefts.
42:46So I don't take sympathy for people
42:49who carry on driving whilst
42:50they're disqualified.
42:52Our job is to take them off the
42:53roads and if they carry on
42:54doing it we'll send them to
42:55prison.
42:55In this episode...
42:59It is pulling away from me
43:01still and I'm at 158 miles per
43:03hour.
43:05The man who failed to stop for
43:07police and was found with large
43:08amounts of cash pleaded guilty
43:10at court to dangerous driving,
43:12driving whilst disqualified and
43:14uninsured, failing to stop and
43:16possession of cannabis.
43:20He received an eight month prison
43:21sentence and a 22 month driving
43:24ban.
43:25No action was brought against the
43:28man for any money laundering
43:29offences.
43:31She thought it was uninsured.
43:32Yeah.
43:34The driver who failed to update
43:36his trader's insurance policy was
43:38reported for driving without
43:39insurance.
43:43They were not insured?
43:45No.
43:45Cool.
43:46Good to know.
43:47Right.
43:47The man who gave a false name was
43:49charged with driving without
43:51insurance and for driving otherwise
43:53in accordance with a licence and
43:55received eight points on his licence.
43:58I would have done it.
43:59No, it's not that sort of question.
44:00Is it your car?
44:01No.
44:01No.
44:02No action was taken against the
44:03young man suspected of driving
44:05without a licence and insurance at
44:07excess speed due to the officers not
44:09being able to disprove his claim that
44:12he was the passenger.
44:13The driver of the cloned van was charged
44:20with driving whilst disqualified and
44:21driving without insurance.
44:23He failed to appear at court and a
44:26warrant has been issued for his
44:27arrest.
44:28Can you prove to me you've got
44:30insurance?
44:31If I could charge...
44:32And the woman who had her car seized
44:34was charged with driving without
44:36insurance and was banned from
44:37driving for six months and received
44:39a £660 fine.
44:42I'll see you next time.
