00:00This is Police Interceptors.
00:04Police Interceptors are all I for.
00:06I'm going to tell my kids about this.
00:08And you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
00:11Speed one, two, zero.
00:14Ace Pursuit drivers.
00:16Contact, contact, contact.
00:18With air support.
00:19Got two out, stand by.
00:21I'm out.
00:22And a crack dog unit.
00:24If you leave, you will get hit.
00:26They bring down the bad guys.
00:30I believe you'll want it, mate.
00:32Keep the streets safe.
00:35Put your arms behind your mouth.
00:37Get on the floor.
00:39And battle 24-7.
00:41Get down on the floor.
00:43In the war on crime.
00:45Crash, crash.
00:47On the floor now.
00:48It's what it is, isn't it?
00:49We find them, we lock them up.
00:53Can we go?
00:54Yeah, this phone needs to stop.
00:56A teapack tango with a stolen car.
00:59Oh, that's tactical contact with it.
01:04Triggers a hunt for four runaways.
01:06Can't pass someone.
01:07Run it across the carriageway.
01:09There he is.
01:11There he is.
01:12There he is.
01:13And how he hits warp speed.
01:15I can't keep up with him.
01:17And...
01:19It's short of a new turn.
01:20Blocked him.
01:21One thing leads to another.
01:23Kettering.
01:24This is a cannabis factory.
01:26It's a busy Thursday night in Northampton.
01:45Dog handler Ash Price is hunting down a stolen Vauxhall Astra.
01:51It's probably quite high likelihood that it's going to fail to stop.
01:56I've got Ebby in the back.
01:58So if we get any decamps and runners, we can send her to go hopefully grab hold of them.
02:06The next Astra has triggered a nearby ANPR camera.
02:13Right, we've got a car behind it now as well.
02:18And already has one marked firearms car in tow.
02:22Should be approaching us just ahead, I think.
02:25That's it there.
02:27And there's the marked car.
02:28Dog behind.
02:29Having predicted a pursuit, decamp and dog track, Ash is getting ready for business.
02:42I think he might try and play her.
02:43I think he's testing us.
02:44Only one way to find out.
02:48Yeah, this thing needs to stop.
02:57Dashcam from the lead car shows the drivers putting their put down straight out of the gate.
03:04Speed 5-0, 10-3 high risk.
03:09The firearms car behind keeps up the commentary.
03:12On the Wellingborough rate.
03:14Speed 6-0, medium risk.
03:17As the driver is recklessly carving through traffic.
03:21Passing the Audi on our off-site now.
03:24And cutting corners which could prove lethal.
03:27He's gone off-ride, off-ride onto the pedestrian footpath.
03:33High risk with no pedestrians.
03:35Back down to medium.
03:36Have I got a TPAP vehicle behind me?
03:40Now the suspects are lobbing things out of the window.
03:43If an opportunity arises, mate, I'll try to get by.
03:48Booth lane south.
03:515-0, medium risk, starting for other items.
03:55Reams of potential evidence are sent flying.
03:58Turned to be a loser.
04:00As the suspected car thief tries to outgun the police.
04:04Wrong side, but no oncoming traffic and it's clear.
04:11At the rear, Ash is still keeping eyes on.
04:14He's third car in a growing convoy of interceptors.
04:18This is the problem.
04:19They drive like this.
04:20We've got to obviously be safe for the public.
04:22So it's getting a little bit of distance on us now.
04:27To stop the pursuit safely, the plan is to assemble enough units for a TPAP or multi-car box.
04:33This is like their playground around here, the Eastern District.
04:36They know it all like the back of their hand.
04:40Until then, the Astra driver is leading the interceptors on a loop of the area.
04:45It's where good cars for us make a massive difference.
04:50The suspect can't shake their high-powered fleet of Beamers and Ashes Skoda.
04:56Oh-ho, smell the brakes now.
04:59The Astra is picking up more units by the minute.
05:03It's three TPAP now.
05:05They're all set for a TPAP.
05:10Up front, the lead car tests the water, attempting to overtake.
05:13Trying to get by.
05:17Get by denied.
05:19He's refusing to stop.
05:22But now is not the right time for another go.
05:27The dangerous driver is speeding past the cyclist at 80 miles an hour.
05:33And cops in the lead car...
05:35Approaching around about weight.
05:39Witnesses' next eye-watering move.
05:44Jesus.
05:45Made contact with a member of the public.
05:50It's taken off a wing mirror.
05:54Reaching a clearer stretch of road, Team TPAP attempts an overtake again.
05:59Showing awareness of TPAP tactics, repeatedly blocking any attempt for a get by.
06:04It looks like their target is playing around at 80 miles an hour.
06:10Fortunately, the interceptors have one more tool in their armoury.
06:17Up in the sky, flying in at an average speed of 138 miles per hour, is the police helicopter.
06:23They're past 5-4, eh, lad?
06:26So we've got the helicopter up above now.
06:28They're going to try and do a bit of a box here, I think.
06:35Interceptors top and tail the stolen Astra.
06:37As a third unit attempts a block to the left.
06:41The desperate driver swerves into lane one.
06:44Cutting perilously close to innocent motorists.
06:49Team TPAP go again, moving up on the right.
06:51But the driver graces past the firearms car and takes off down the A45.
07:06With driving like this, the suspect is endangering everyone on the road.
07:11Time to up the ante.
07:17Oh, that's tactical contact with it.
07:21A shunt from a firearms car.
07:25Followed by a non-negotiable box.
07:32For suspect starburst.
07:38Dicing with death in the live lanes, will the interceptors catch up with them in time?
07:46Get out of the carriage right now! Get out of the carriage right!
08:04Oh-ho, smell the brakes now.
08:07In Northampton...
08:09Starting items.
08:12A driver in a stolen Astra is failing to stop.
08:16Causing havoc on the roads.
08:19Fade contact with a member of the public.
08:23Dog handler Ash is part of a team of interceptors on the ground.
08:27Oh, that's tactical contact with it.
08:30And on high...
08:32And past 5-4, eh, lad?
08:35Coming together to stop the dangerous driver.
08:39I'm looking for a match at this time.
08:40Now, four runners are making off in different directions on the A45.
08:47And past, I'm running across the carriage man.
08:51Interceptors are hot on their heels.
08:53They come, they come!
09:06Watch the traffic, watch the traffic!
09:08Cars are speeding past on the opposite carriageway.
09:11It seems one suspect has a death wish.
09:18Get out of the carriage right now! Get out of the carriage right!
09:22Lying down in a live lane.
09:24Get over here, get over there!
09:25Get over here!
09:26Get over here!
09:31Get over here!
09:34I'm on the floor!
09:36Get back, get back, get back.
09:37Get back, get back, get back, get back.
09:39Get them tuss on him.
09:43Got him?
09:44Got him? Yeah, got him.
09:47Inches from being hit at high speed,
09:50he's fortunate to have made it into cuffs.
09:54Is there two over there? Yeah.
09:57Just one, that was him. And another one's gone that way.
10:00Three suspects outstanding.
10:03While the eye in the sky keeps watch over one.
10:07Yeah, he's hiding in a tree. I'm happy I've got him sort of contained.
10:12A firearms carp is closing in on another.
10:15Get on the line now! Get on the floor!
10:19Taser drawn.
10:21Get on the floor now! On the floor! Get on the back now!
10:25Don't make any movement, you understand?
10:28You're under arrest. Suspicion of theft of my vehicle.
10:32Dangerous driving. Failing stop for police.
10:38Two suspects outstanding.
10:42Police officer on the toes, just show yourself!
10:50In nearby fields, a cyclist flags down an interceptor.
10:56There's a young bloke just crossing that footage.
10:59Yeah, he stopped me and asked if there was anywhere he could get attacked or something.
11:02Oh, was he out of breath?
11:03I would say so.
11:04A solid lead.
11:07The officer scopes out the location of the sighting.
11:10It's eerily quiet, until...
11:23Give me your hands!
11:25Get out!
11:266-1-1 detained.
11:30First time out here on there. Under arrest.
11:33On suspicion.
11:34Dangerous driving.
11:35I've found Stockton Police.
11:36That's three suspects nicked, and one out standing.
11:44He's running now, down a path that is parallel with the road.
11:48To the other side of the trees.
11:50So he's running to the east.
11:53Thanks to the police helicopter's thermal imaging camera...
11:56Is he the carriageway side?
12:00He'll be hard pushed to escape dog handler Ash and five-year-old German shepherd, Ebi.
12:06It's between the road and the river.
12:08It's now running up towards the river.
12:11Go on through.
12:13Running from Ebi is not a wise move.
12:22Do you see us coming through the dog?
12:26I'm looking now.
12:33Right, yes.
12:34Got you.
12:35Keep the direction you're going.
12:37You're pretty much going straight towards him.
12:39Going through that gap in those trees.
12:44He's up now.
12:45He's running again.
12:48Parallel with the stream.
12:50To the left.
12:51It's pitch darkness for cops on the ground.
12:57Yet for the heli, the suspect is lit up like a Christmas tree.
13:01It's put back down in the undergrowth again.
13:03Just keep going forwards.
13:09See the trees to your left side?
13:11It's just put down in the edge of those.
13:13It's up near the water.
13:14You're walking straight towards him now.
13:23I can see him.
13:24I can see him.
13:24I can see him.
13:24I can see him.
13:25I can see him.
13:25I can see him.
13:25I can see him.
13:25I can see him.
13:26Mate, police are a dog.
13:30Show yourself.
13:33Stay on the floor.
13:34Stay on the floor.
13:35Hands more on your back.
13:36Do it now.
13:36Don't move.
13:39OK.
13:39Yeah, we've got him.
13:40And pass.
13:42OK, no sudden movements.
13:46Teamwork at its finest.
13:50It's quite a vehicle.
13:54After an epic cross-country manhunt.
13:56Right, if you get.
13:58Three, two, one.
14:01No sudden movements.
14:02All four suspects from the stolen car
14:08are rounded up and nicked.
14:11You're right.
14:11Police interceptors.
14:13Police interceptors.
14:14Take a seat and get in the car.
14:15Come in.
14:16Oi.
14:17Three up.
14:18Three me up, bro.
14:19Three me up.
14:20Oi, shut your mouth and get in the car.
14:22Why are you pulling me like that, bro?
14:24Stopping you pissing about
14:25at the side of a dual carriageway.
14:26Stop pulling me.
14:26Stop pulling me and I'll get in.
14:28Right, sit in the car, please.
14:29Please don't pull me.
14:30Yeah, we're going to keep hold of you
14:31at the side of a dual carriageway.
14:32I'll get in if you don't pull me.
14:33We're not pulling you.
14:34Sit in the PA vehicle, please.
14:36Watch the head.
14:37Thank you very much.
14:39It was quite a full-on pursuit, actually.
14:41Went relatively high risk at some points.
14:43High speed, obviously, down through all the estates.
14:45You can see it's only, sort of, what,
14:48ten to nine in the evening.
14:49So, still heavy traffic.
14:51People coming home.
14:52People, you know, going about their daily business.
14:54And they don't get, really deserve to be exposed
14:56to the risks that these idiots put them through.
14:59But, luckily, no one's been injured.
15:01No subjects have been injured.
15:02No significant damage to the public or to ourselves.
15:05We've got four in custody and a vehicle back.
15:07Good job, overall.
15:11Unbelievably, the A45 roadrunners
15:13seem to see the funny side.
15:15The first time I get them back, I promise you,
15:17this is hilarious.
15:21Ash and Ebi's find is 15 years old.
15:24If you didn't have that dog, I would have got away.
15:27Another bloke is wanted on recall to prison.
15:30Have you checked that out, weren't we?
15:32Of course we have.
15:35That's mad.
15:37And interceptor Harrison Beverley is on scene as backup,
15:41dealing with the lad who made the jaw-dropping decision
15:43to lie down in the carriageway.
15:46Is it a mad chase?
15:47It's not a mad chase you've had in a long while.
15:49You also want it for breach of car, Arda.
15:52Although he seems more interested
15:54in the culinary options at custody.
15:56He's lucky not to be brown-bred.
16:10The four suspects are off to the nick.
16:16Ash and the crew are getting back on the road,
16:21leaving Harrison to wait for a recovery truck.
16:23It's in the door pocket of the driver's side.
16:30And the stolen Astra is the gift that keeps on giving.
16:34Police tell Batten, I've been seeing the driver's door.
16:39Easily could have grabbed one of them
16:41and obviously tried to go on an officer with it.
16:43Yeah, we'll get it seized and get it booked into some property.
16:45We'll take it out of the car.
16:47The suspects were arrested for a string of burglaries.
16:51The lad, cuffed on taser point,
16:53was also arrested for possession of cannabis
16:55and crack cocaine and on prison recall.
16:59One suspect has been released without charge,
17:02while the other three remain under investigation.
17:04North Hamptonshire's roads policing unit
17:19has five teams of interceptors
17:21in a fleet of marked and unmarked cars,
17:24keeping watch over the county's road network 24-7.
17:27There is a stat somewhere
17:31that says something along the lines
17:33of when motorists see a marked police car,
17:36the standard of driving on that stretch of road
17:39increases and improves for at least 10 minutes.
17:43But the difference between
17:44when we're in a marked and unmarked car is night and day.
17:47In an unmarked, they just drive like they normally would
17:50without the police around them,
17:51which, unfortunately for some people,
17:54is not good enough.
17:59On a wet midweek night shift,
18:01our interceptors, Keith Gay,
18:03and, in the passenger seat, Michael Hollowell.
18:06So on the way in tonight,
18:07I saw a car with his wheels turned out
18:09and he got caught exposed.
18:11So I've got a restoration.
18:13So I'll be looking for that.
18:15So you get what you're cycling to work.
18:16So you see those stuff you're cycling to work.
18:18Swapping two wheels for four,
18:24they're keeping their eyes peeled
18:26from the comfort of an unmarked BMW 330.
18:30The perfect tool for slipping under the radar
18:35and spotting dodgy drivers in the wild.
18:44Is it going a bit fast?
18:45Well, I don't know.
18:45I couldn't tell
18:46because I wasn't actually going that fast myself.
18:48Oh, OK.
18:49He's not going slow.
18:53Keith gets them a closer look
18:54at the speedy Audi RS5.
18:57Well, that's 83.
18:59I'd say I've pretty much got it matched.
19:0182 and a 60.
19:02Yeah.
19:05And the driver continues putting pedal to the metal,
19:07unaware he's got company in the unmarked.
19:10To be fair, I think you've got it matched.
19:13Around the 95.
19:14In hammering rain like this,
19:18stopping distances will be at least double those on dry roads.
19:23One false move could cause disaster.
19:26Yeah, he's going away from you.
19:28We're 82.
19:28We're 82.
19:29Well, yeah.
19:30Keith and Michael need to have a word.
19:39Stand by.
19:41Oh, Jesus Christ.
19:43We have liftoff.
19:47Oh, mate.
19:49I can't keep up with him.
19:53Capable of 0 to 63.9 seconds.
19:56Oh, man.
19:57The RS5 driver flies off into the distance.
20:05That's launch mode, that is, isn't it?
20:07That's 90.
20:0890 miles an hour.
20:11He's flooring it with 444 horsepower
20:14versus the Beamers' 282.
20:18Light him up.
20:18Keith might not be in his dream BMW of choice, the M3,
20:28but his advanced driving skills are keeping them on the speeder's tracks.
20:35Just about.
20:36That's 85.
20:39We had 90 from the Vanderbilt.
20:41Yeah.
20:42So, careless?
20:45Yeah, he hasn't done any of the speed limits.
20:46No.
20:47And he doesn't want to stop at the moment, either, does he?
20:49Well, I think he will stop.
20:52Where are you going, mate?
20:52You can't turn right.
20:53You can't turn, then.
20:55He's narrowly avoiding one more faux pas in front of the interceptors.
21:04Well done.
21:06Time for the driver to explain
21:09why he's been treating the A-Roads like a lap at Silverstone.
21:14Where have you been tonight?
21:15Literally, I've been working till about 9 o'clock.
21:19Right.
21:19Just been to get a McDonald's.
21:21Okey-dokey.
21:22Starving at a moment.
21:23Well, that doesn't justify, like, hitting 90 miles an hour, does it?
21:27At the end of the day?
21:29I've had you match the 80 miles an hour,
21:31and then, obviously, off the roundabout, mate,
21:34that is just unbelievable.
21:36I couldn't keep up with you.
21:38I'm not in a slow car myself,
21:40but I think you hit...
21:41We reckon you hit 90 down there.
21:45Following this fast-food dash,
21:47he's going to be reported for driving without due care and attention.
21:50Tonight, it's really wet.
21:53Yes, OK, that's an RS5.
21:55It's probably got great traction.
21:57But it's that unknown.
21:59You know, if a vehicle pulls out,
22:00you've only got to be on the accelerator and not the brake,
22:02and you're going to have a collision.
22:04We're going to end up with possibly a serious injury or even a fatal.
22:07Thankfully, there haven't been any accidents this evening.
22:12Petrol head Keith still has one burning question.
22:16When you went off the lights, was that launch control?
22:19No.
22:19Or was that just...
22:20No, this wasn't even flat out.
22:23That's mental, mate.
22:26No, it wasn't launch control.
22:28It wasn't?
22:28No, you said that wasn't even flat out.
22:30Oh, that is quick.
22:33That car is quick.
22:37He took it fairly well, actually.
22:39He was quite a nice guy to speak to.
22:41It makes change, actually,
22:42for people not to argue, to toss about it.
22:45So, he'll get reported,
22:48and maybe he'll slow down.
22:51That's probably some of the quickest driving I've seen in some time,
22:55I've got to admit.
22:55Mr. Knott flat out accepted a fixed penalty notice
23:02and attended a driver retraining course.
23:07One of the RS Audis has got a Lamborghini engine.
23:10So, what we're saying is I caught up with a Lamborghini today.
23:13You did.
23:14You did.
23:14Well done.
23:15Well done, dude.
23:15I kept up with a Lamborghini.
23:16It's my 330 diesel BMW.
23:18We chugged along beyond.
23:19Yeah.
23:25Should I grab him?
23:27Coming up.
23:27Grab him.
23:28Grab him, grab him, grab him, grab him, grab him.
23:31Pop Reviver on the lookout for dodgy deals.
23:33Oh, I think I might be onto some film.
23:38And...
23:38He's out, he's out.
23:40A van load of suspects...
23:42And weapons.
23:44Grab him, come out, waving now.
23:45It's the dead of night.
24:10After reports of an attempted burglary in Kettering,
24:13Interceptors are trying to stop a van seen leaving the area.
24:19Grab him, grab him on the roundabout.
24:21It's re-sip, re-sip.
24:23London Road, back in towards Town.
24:28Speed 5-0, just level to low.
24:32The suspected getaway driver is ignoring the blue lights...
24:35..as well as the red lights.
24:38Through the red ATS, got five wrists back down to low.
24:41It was in the code, is that right?
24:42And we've got a left, left, left, holding Green Road.
24:46Directed to Moorford Avenue.
24:49Putting the brakes on this van driver could call for tactics like a stinger or a box.
24:57Once again, Harrison is en route as backup.
25:01Alongside crewmate Emerson.
25:03It was Oslo as well, wasn't it, I think, as I said.
25:05Yeah, it's a via the T-junction in the new bit.
25:07But a few miles away...
25:11Left, left, left, out of the fire station, stand by.
25:17It looks like the van driver has realised he's already running out of road.
25:24Right, right, right, right, off the way, deadhead, stand by.
25:32Cops don't know how many suspected burglars are in the van...
25:36..or whether they're armed and dangerous.
25:39Get the drone stuck.
25:40Yeah.
25:42Reaching a dead end, they're about to find out.
25:45He's out, he's out.
25:46Taser, Taser, Taser, go!
25:58Stay where you are, Taser, do not move.
26:02Do not move, mate.
26:03You're under arrest.
26:05Taser the gold-up one.
26:09Six suspected burglars bail out.
26:13One's tasered.
26:15One's tackled.
26:16And there's more units to send on the scene.
26:22One out standing.
26:24Five out of six are nicked in no time.
26:33Has he been searched?
26:35No?
26:35Do you want to come over here?
26:37Actually, make that a full house.
26:42Stay there.
26:43A police dog has sniffed out the final sixth suspect.
26:48And Harrison gets the pleasure of locking him up.
26:51Turn around.
26:53Put your hands in the small of your back, all right?
26:55There's a dog there.
26:56Police us with Taser, don't move.
26:57I need some movements.
26:59Don't be detained.
26:59You're in the rest of the day.
27:00I don't know how I got on board in this, man.
27:05At the wrong pace, right time.
27:06Literally, man.
27:07Mm-hmm.
27:07Walking down the wrong road at the wrong time.
27:10For the interceptors who pursued the van, Nick and Lloyd, it was the right place, right time.
27:18Stab vest, machetes, throw bars.
27:21Just glad I didn't come out waving them.
27:24Especially given what they're seizing from the alleged burglar mobile.
27:28See that?
27:29See the old bigs.
27:30Glad I didn't come out waving that.
27:31See all right?
27:36Very scary.
27:37Luckily, there aren't any serious injuries.
27:41Although Nick's rugby tackle has left its mark.
27:45You need to clean that up, bud.
27:46Yeah.
27:46Basically, we'll get a second.
27:49All six burglary suspects are going to be taken in for questioning.
27:56Across town...
27:58Alliance, please.
28:01Cops are searching the house targeted in the attempted burglary.
28:06Just be careful.
28:07I might have put some traps and stuff.
28:10No, I'll do it here.
28:12Police!
28:15Whoever was inside the van was potentially heavily tooled up for a reason.
28:23This is a cannabis factory.
28:26This is...
28:27Mate, that is nuts.
28:32So many plants, aren't there?
28:34Yeah.
28:34You're literally free rooms full of it.
28:37Like a custody, Harrison has a theory on the night's events.
28:44Officers have gone to the address, they've tried to burgle, and it's a confirmed cannabis factory.
28:49So, clearly, they've turned up with machetes.
28:53Fully intending to rob said factory with six up in a van.
28:56Probably harvest the cannabis as well.
28:58So, fair play to Nick and Lloyd, who pursued it and somehow managed to entertain five at the scene.
29:05Can't big him up too much, he's trying to walk past the camera, but he's still doing a good little job.
29:14Police were unable to prove who was driving or who owned the weapons.
29:18No legal action was taken for the attempted burglary.
29:22Two of the men were in possession of cannabis.
29:26One received a caution and the other a community resolution order.
29:30And around 90 cannabis plants, two machetes and a crowbar was seized and destroyed.
29:37Operation Revive was set up to tackle gang-related activity like violence and drug crime across Northamptonshire.
29:53That's it, one more.
29:55There you go.
29:55There you go.
29:58Don't, don't, don't.
30:00They're a proactive, intelligence-led unit who know where to look.
30:07Got it.
30:08That's what's been recovered already.
30:10And can spot dodgy behaviour at Mile Off.
30:13Yeah, they're dealing, they're dealing, we're going.
30:16I see one towards Harrington Road.
30:18A tactic they frequently use to get results is a stop and search.
30:23Go, go, go.
30:24He's running back down towards you.
30:26Wait, look, look, look.
30:27Bro, wait, can you miss these drugs out?
30:31The difference is we need us in response.
30:33You won't always see us working.
30:35We're doing all this stuff behind the scenes.
30:37We're out on late shifts, out at night, on foot, in plain clothes, and we're trying to take these people off the streets.
30:42The more drug dealers, the more people are willing to carry knives, the more of them that we arrest
30:47are going to have a greater impact on, you know, stability and safety in Wellenborough.
30:57On a late shift and scanning the streets of Wellenborough in an unmarked car are Connor Shorten and, in the driving seat, Sam Walton.
31:06There's a lot going on around here, isn't there?
31:13This is the place to be today.
31:16At the minute, we're in the castle area of Wellenborough and there is loads of users and potential drug dealers
31:25all going around at the same time.
31:28We've got quite a few dodgy cars that we're trying to keep an eye on and, at the minute, it's trying to work out who to focus on.
31:37Ob Revive are so finely tuned to spotting dodgy dealings, they've practically got eyes in the back of their head.
31:43In the rear view mirror, eagle-eyed Sam is focusing on someone in a grey car behind them, and spins round for another look.
32:01There we go, then.
32:03He's just done a deal to the guy in the red hat.
32:06Just done a deal to the guy in the red hat.
32:09Oh, he's getting out?
32:09He's getting out.
32:12Grab him.
32:13Grab him.
32:14Grab him, grab him, grab him, grab him, grab him.
32:16If he is dealing from his car, it's not happening on Op Revive's watch.
32:21Anyway, stay there.
32:23You'll be entertained for public search in section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act. Do you understand?
32:27Yeah, of course.
32:28Be hand up.
32:29Yeah, right, mate.
32:29So the grounds of my search is that we have just witnessed what essentially is to be a drug deal between you and the person in the red hat there, OK?
32:36So you're going to be searching yourself and your vehicle for anything related to drugs, be that drugs, money, cars, anything like that, OK?
32:41Yeah.
32:43Northamptonshire police carried out over 4,500 stop and searches last year.
32:48Is there going to be anything in the car that we need to know about?
32:51No.
32:51No? Any drugs?
32:53No.
32:53No?
32:54The tactic doesn't always get results.
32:57Come on, then.
32:57Go for the car.
32:58Take a seat for us.
33:00But Connor quickly discovers this drug stop is bang on the money.
33:04We've got white in his wallet.
33:05Oh, he said he didn't have anything.
33:07He said he didn't have anything.
33:08Sit in there for us.
33:09Take a seat in a minute.
33:12Either cocaine or amphetamine.
33:17But at the minute, that's not a huge amount just to go off on its own.
33:20So we'll see what else is in the vehicle.
33:26Former car sales executive Connor is into snowboarding and catching drug dealers.
33:30It looks like today's suspect is on a slippery slope himself.
33:39Collar.
33:41Oh, OK.
33:41Especially given what Sam is finding in his motor.
33:45We also had that in the driver's door as well.
33:50Phone's going off like mad.
33:54You can never have too many bags, can you?
33:57You're a balaclava.
34:01Another hammer.
34:01I just come to see my friend.
34:04What's the problem?
34:05Well, I understand what you're saying, sir, but we disagree with it.
34:07So obviously we've already found drugs.
34:09Why are you asking me the questions?
34:11Why am I asking you the questions?
34:13You're lucky.
34:14Because I think you're a drug dealer.
34:15I think you're wrong.
34:16OK.
34:17Nice.
34:19Well, we'll get to the bottom a bit, won't we?
34:21Of course.
34:21Sam and Connor compare notes.
34:26So a hammer in the door pocket.
34:29That was in the door pocket.
34:30Yeah.
34:31That was also...
34:32That was in the boot.
34:32Yeah.
34:33That was also in the door pocket.
34:34OK.
34:37So what have you got?
34:37A bit of white.
34:38Yeah.
34:39After what we've seen.
34:41Yeah.
34:41And the cash and that.
34:42Let's bring him in.
34:44All right, mate.
34:45At this moment in time, you're going to be here under arrest for possession with intensively
34:48class A drugs and also possession of offensive weapons and a bladed article.
34:52OK, so you do not understand anything, but may harm your defence if you do not mention
34:55one question, something which you later were on the court.
34:57Stop and searches for drugs led to over 60,000 arrests in England and Wales last year.
35:02Just going to do your waistline, all right?
35:05And over the last five years, at least 40,000 weapons have been seized in stop and searches
35:10across the UK.
35:11Although they have Stanley knives based on where they've been, he's not a workman, so
35:18there's no reason why he should have them there other than self-defense, I imagine.
35:20After a fleeting glimpse in their rearview mirror, Op Revive are seizing weapons, suspected
35:28class A drugs, and delivering a suspected dealer to custody.
35:32If you face that way for me, just place your arms up, just like it's such, make sure there's
35:37nothing here.
35:38You're sensitive, though.
35:39You're sensitive?
35:40No.
35:41Ticklish.
35:41You're not sensitive.
35:42You might feel even more sensitive when he learns where Connor and Sam will be searching
35:50next.
35:51If I'm now, we'll go to the home address, find out what's in there, we're probably expecting
35:57another stash, so a large quantity of drugs.
35:59As darkness falls, they're at his home address.
36:0822, 22, 22, yep.
36:11Once they get the OK from Control...
36:14Cheers, boss, thank you for that.
36:15Cheers, bye-bye.
36:20Finally, they get started on the property search.
36:22So far, there's no big stash like they were expecting.
36:41That is, until Connor uncovers a tightly wrapped bag under the bed.
36:52I don't know if we're onto something here.
36:58Huh?
36:59Oh, I think I might be onto something.
37:05I am.
37:06Yeah?
37:07What have we got?
37:08White or green?
37:11Could break the bag.
37:13Two large bags of cannabis.
37:16It's a substantial find.
37:19I'm going to guess half a kilo.
37:21We've got scales here as well, mate.
37:22That will need to be put to him in an interview to obtain his account
37:28of why this is in his bedroom.
37:38Four hours after clocking a suspected dodgy deal in their mirrors,
37:42Connor and Sam have one last job to do before interviewing their catch.
37:48Back to the nick.
37:52Oh, it's a lot more than I thought.
37:54For the weigh-in.
37:55That's 425 grams of cannabis in that one,
37:58which is more than I thought.
38:00And bag two.
38:01And the other one is 425 grams.
38:04So it's 850 grams.
38:06The lowest amount you can sell cannabis for is generally they do like one gram is about
38:1210 pounds at like the lowest level.
38:14The more you buy it in bulk, the cheaper it gets.
38:17But if we were just doing it on the lowest level, it's 850 grams.
38:20And you could be talking up to 8 and a half grand based on all of them.
38:24Yeah, good.
38:25Get it off the streets.
38:30Following the stop, the possession of an offensive weapon was withdrawn.
38:34However, he remains under investigation on suspicion of drug dealing
38:38and possession of the drugs found in his wallet.
38:48Still to come.
38:50A loaded barber is in the hot seat.
38:54Two grand barbering.
38:56Good haircut.
38:57The best.
38:58The best.
39:19Up in Corby, an unmarked unit is pulling over a Mercedes A-Class.
39:24Allegedly seen driving at speed earlier in the night.
39:28Yeah, vehicle's coming to an actual.
39:30At first, the driver surrenders to the blues.
39:33Oh, it's making up.
39:35Vehicle's making up.
39:36He's doing a 180.
39:38And heading back along Green Hill.
39:43After an unexpected Yui, he's hitting the gas in the opposite direction.
39:49Speed's in zero mode.
39:51Vehicle's trying to stop.
39:52Back up is en route.
39:55And you've guessed it.
39:57It's going round the bar.
39:59Harrison is back for round three alongside the team Sarge, Richie Gibson.
40:04Speed is six, seven.
40:06Eight, nine, four, zero.
40:08So it's ahead of us on this road at the other end, unfortunately.
40:11It's come out of there.
40:12At the top of the road, a second unit is waiting for the Merc driver.
40:24And this one is fully marked.
40:25Double blues and twos, but the driver is still going full steam ahead.
40:38Fast forward another minute and he's still leading the cops through Corby.
40:42Then, all of a sudden, he decides to pull over.
40:48Yeah, vehicle stationary.
40:49Hold on.
40:51Harrison and Richie arrive within seconds.
40:54Vehicle is secure.
40:55No damage.
40:57See a police vehicle.
40:58No damage.
40:58It's subject there.
41:02Last four.
41:03Got it, mate.
41:05Do you have a licence?
41:07I do.
41:07Are you going to tell us why you've decided not to stop?
41:11I didn't know he was with police at all.
41:14Richie isn't buying it.
41:16I struggle to think why anyone would think that isn't a genuine police car.
41:20And even if they do, they can call the police.
41:23And they could have driven at a sensible speed to a police station.
41:25And they've decided to drive at excess speed on a road in a soaking wet rain.
41:30And an enhanced risk to him and to the officers and potentially other members of the public.
41:35Ready?
41:36One of a deep breath.
41:37One of a deep breath.
41:38Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
41:41Harrison tests the driver for drink and drugs.
41:44Thank you very much.
41:46Keep that.
41:49Both are negative.
41:52He's got a driving licence.
41:54He's not wanted.
41:56However, there are a few items of interest in the car.
42:01You see the glass in the chair there?
42:03Yeah.
42:04Oh, he snapped it, didn't he?
42:07What's that, cling film?
42:09Yeah.
42:10Money?
42:10Yeah, money.
42:11He's wrapped in cling film.
42:13Yeah.
42:14Which all aren't normal behaviour.
42:16No.
42:18Rich is a keen chess player.
42:20After two decades as an interceptor, he's usually three moves ahead with his questioning, too.
42:26How much cash have you got, chap, wrapped up in the cling film?
42:32I've got £2,000.
42:33How much?
42:34£2,000.
42:34£2,000.
42:35And what's that for?
42:37My money.
42:38Yeah.
42:39How do you get it?
42:40I work.
42:41Okay.
42:41And is that what you've been paid out?
42:43Because you have to tell us exactly what you've got.
42:45If not, then I can seize it under the Proceeds of Crime Act, the suspicion of money laundering,
42:48you see?
42:48If my money, I work.
42:50Okay.
42:51What do you do?
42:52I'm a barber.
42:53A barber?
42:54Yeah.
42:55You're very short of your answers.
42:57Where are you a barber?
42:58In Wellenborough.
42:58In Wellenborough?
42:59Yeah.
43:00People don't normally carry around £2,000 worth of cash and then snap their phone while
43:04they're driving, do they?
43:05I didn't snap my phone.
43:07They're at a stalemate.
43:09Not the normal behaviour of somebody, is it?
43:11After failing to stop for police.
43:14I stopped.
43:15You didn't stop saying it away, fella, did you?
43:17I didn't know it was the police.
43:18What bit about the police car confused you?
43:23The minted midnight barber could well be telling the truth about the money.
43:28Two grand barbering.
43:29Good haircut.
43:30The best.
43:31The best.
43:34But his harebrained antics on the road have raised serious suspicions for the interceptors.
43:40I'm arresting you for the suspicion of being involved in destructive money laundering.
43:45A vehicle be seized for use in crime.
43:47He'll be taken to custody, given a full search to get him stopped and safely arrested.
43:51He's a winner for us.
43:53And he'll ask some questions on why he decided to drive like that.
43:56So, yeah, it's a good result around, really.
43:58The barber received no further action for possession of the cash.
44:05However, he was convicted of driving without due care and attention and failing to stop.
44:11His driving licence was given the chop for six months and he had to pay £2,025 in fines and costs.
44:19And Harrison paid a heavy price, too.
44:24Pringles have spilled, haven't they?
44:25My healthy, balanced diet.
44:28Oh, bless him.
44:30So disappointing.
44:31I know they're well expensive, three quid to my own ass.
44:34Oh, very frustrating.
44:36Never mind.
44:36You win some, you lose some.
44:39You win some, you win some, you win some.
45:09You win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some, you win some.
