CreativityTranscript
00:00This is Police Interceptors, and you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
00:12Ace pursuit drivers, with air support, and a crack dog unit.
00:27They bring down the bad guys, keep the streets safe, and battle 24-7 in the war on crime.
00:45Crash, crash.
00:47I just don't know!
00:49This is what it is, isn't it? We find them, we lock them up.
00:54Coming up...
00:551-7 the truck goes over the bridge, really strong still.
00:59A canine hero leads an epic fan hunt.
01:02Whistle and taser! Stay where you are!
01:06Help me!
01:08Police mate, for that.
01:09Help me!
01:10A suspected burglar gets a face full of punaba.
01:13I haven't even done nothing! I haven't done nothing!
01:17And...
01:18Okay, contact, contact, on the roundabout.
01:21It's crash, bang, slam, on a runaway bar.
01:24What have you got mate?
01:25I can't get out of it.
01:26I have a bug in, but you're dead.
01:27And...
01:28You know, the bug is right.
01:29We are just trying to wipe out all the way.
01:32It's half a page of love.
01:33You're just trying to keep a woman in the sand.
01:34You've got to wipe out all the way.
01:35So at that time, you'll get to take a woman in the sand.
01:36You've got to polish your hands.
01:37You've got to do it.
01:38Don't die.
01:39You've got to come out of it.
01:40No, I'm not.
01:41I'm not.
01:42You've got to make money in the sand.
01:43We've got to make money in the sand.
01:46Do it?
01:47It's late on a Saturday night.
01:511-7 on route.
01:54Dog handler Lucy Scullthorpe has just been alerted to an incident at the northern tip of the county.
02:00We've had a report from a petrol station.
02:03Two males in dark clothing with hats on, with a knife that have slashed a lorry curtain side.
02:11It's thought the men spotted were casing out the lorry's load for a potential theft.
02:16A crime sometimes known as curtain siding.
02:20They'll be in a vehicle, driving up and down, slashing curtain sides, seeing what the load is.
02:27And then if they find a load that's worth stealing, then they'll go in and nick it.
02:33Under the cover of darkness, criminals target parked HGVs.
02:37And these thefts cost a UK economy around £400 million a year.
02:43Just coming up the 509. They ran off on foot then?
02:46Yeah, they're probably.
02:48This could be good news for Lucy.
02:51I'm happy to see if there is a track on the field.
02:54Because her partner, German shepherd Bryn, is a master tracker.
03:00There's a possibility that there's going to be a track across the fields where they've made off.
03:05Within a couple of minutes, Lucy arrives at the spot the suspects were last seen.
03:13Sounds like Bryn's eager to get them.
03:15Hello.
03:15Are you the caller?
03:17Yeah.
03:18Where did you see them, mate?
03:20Literally, they were just stood there?
03:22Yeah, I heard them on the phone.
03:23Okay.
03:23So I just looked at the corner, I probably came back and I didn't want to get one more.
03:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:28I was watching them.
03:30There's two guys, one about my height, one a little bit shorter.
03:33Both have beanie hats on, dark clothes, red gloves.
03:37They had a knife, I was on the phone.
03:39Look down that side.
03:46Good boy.
03:46Hello.
03:48Bryn is known across the force for his finely tuned nose.
03:51Capable of sniffing out a bad guy or a vanilla ice cream from more than a mile away.
03:59Bryn, wait, find a track.
04:02There is a track in the field, but it goes from where the lorry driver saw these people
04:08sort of back towards the entry slip into the services.
04:13It doesn't go any further west.
04:16Any signs of ascent?
04:18Stop here.
04:18I think their car's been there.
04:22Lucy suspects the men fled in a spotter vehicle, cars used by curtain-siders to scope out lorries.
04:30Cops are checking the other services now, so we're going to have a bit of a snoop about
04:35and see what we can find.
04:36Several units, including armed response vehicles, a drone, and a police helicopter, have mobilised
04:45to find the car and the men.
04:48Hi.
04:50Meanwhile, Lucy meets up with colleagues in the petrol station to discuss tactics.
04:55They'll be somewhere on the 14th.
04:57It's worth it going up to junction 1, firing up and just checking all the labourers.
05:01Suddenly, a message crackles through the radio.
05:05I thought we should think we were at the track store.
05:09We're going to be in front of the service, isn't it?
05:12Let's go!
05:14Units have eyes on a suspected spotter vehicle at another services, 12 miles away.
05:20The car, which is registered to an address in Yorkshire, has just bolted from the cops.
05:36On the tail of the runaway driver is interceptor Ian Bayliss.
05:53Who's just forced him into the open jaws of several other units.
05:57They boxed in the motor, and it's job done.
06:10Or is it?
06:12How many have we got?
06:13One.
06:14They were expecting a driver and at least two others.
06:18He ain't going to be on his own, is he?
06:20With just one suspect off to the nick, Lucy plots her next move.
06:24That one, seven, I can go back to the services and do the tree line and stuff with the dog.
06:31At least two men could still be at large, so Lucy returns to the services that the driver just left.
06:39So I think what he's doing is he's been leading us on a merry dance to give his mates a chance to get away.
06:47One, seven, is everyone happy for me to go in and get the dog out now?
06:49Have we got enough of a sort of circle round it?
06:52If Bryn picks up another track here, it will confirm Lucy's suspicions.
07:01And the initial signs are promising.
07:05Tracks leading straight out the back.
07:07Bryn guides Lucy through a field.
07:09It is very fresh from the way the dog's acting.
07:12Which leads to a housing estate.
07:15Find track.
07:17We need find track.
07:18Where his mojo begins working over time.
07:22We've continued tracking through like a park.
07:25As the all-seeing eye watches from on high, Bryn just keeps his nose to the ground.
07:31The track's going along this bank really strong.
07:34Yeah, there's a bridge down there that crosses the A14.
07:41After tracking for more than a mile, Bryn is now firing on all cylinders.
07:45Track on.
07:46One, seven, the track goes over the bridge.
07:48Really strong still.
07:52Pass five, four.
07:53Copied out.
07:54We'll concentrate that side now with the main road.
07:56Guided by Bryn, the helicopter's camera turns its focus on the end of the bridge.
08:03Where finally, it spots something.
08:06Pass five, four.
08:08He's underneath the bridge.
08:09He's just ran back from your side to the other side.
08:12There's two people.
08:14Go back across the bridge to the dog handler.
08:17It's now the chopper's turn to guide Lucy and Bryn to the suspense.
08:21Yeah, I'm running back, but the terrain is really hard.
08:27But, without reinforcements, there's nothing to stop the lads running across the road again.
08:33Lucy needs backup.
08:35ASAP.
08:51The track's going along this bank, really strong.
08:57In Kettering, the interceptors, led by police dog Bryn, were hunting down two lads,
09:02suspected of attempting to steal from lorries.
09:05Once, seven, the track goes over the bridge.
09:08Really strong still.
09:11Like a crim-seeking missile, Bryn's homed in on a bridge, where the chopper locks on target.
09:16At pass five, four, he's underneath the bridge.
09:21He's just ran back from your side to the other side.
09:25But now dog handler Lucy faces a dilemma.
09:29You need cops on the A14.
09:32They're just going to run back across the main road.
09:34They're on the embankment by the bridge support.
09:37So, to contain it, you're going to need cops on the A14, both sides of that bridge.
09:42The suspects have already run across the busy main road once.
09:46Lucy can't go down there, in case they try it again.
09:53Which would be a risk to them and to police dog Bryn.
09:58And now the chopper's spotted something else.
10:01There's three suspects.
10:05That's one more than they expected.
10:08Well, then, past, they're not currently moving.
10:10I think they are kind of hoping that the dog handler's just going to give up the warcraft,
10:14so they're just hiding.
10:15Little do they know, a roadblock is now in place.
10:21Rolling on eastbound.
10:23Rolling on westbound.
10:26And an army of interceptors are en route.
10:29They're on the eastbound side, so if you're heading east on the A14,
10:33they're on the left-hand side of the road.
10:34The chopper guides them in.
10:37The police car on the A14 just before the bridge to your left.
10:42The threat of 50,000 volts will turn anyone's legs to jelly.
10:59Face down.
11:00Get face down.
11:01Do what I tell you.
11:03The threat of 50,000 volts will turn anyone's legs to jelly.
11:07There's a dog up there.
11:08You run, you get bit.
11:10As does the threat of our pal, Bryn.
11:13Right, you're under arrest.
11:15Spurs need to commit theft.
11:17I think if the dog had not tracked to that bridge,
11:21we wouldn't have found them.
11:22They were walking around the pillar blindside of us as we moved,
11:25so you can have the credit for that one, I think.
11:28It turns out the car was registered in Leeds.
11:32Jump in the back there, mate, otherwise you're in the cage.
11:34Good luck.
11:35When they get back to the Nick,
11:37they'll have to explain what they're doing 130 miles from home
11:41in the middle of the night.
11:45In the meantime, Lucy's headed back to the service station
11:48to check out the crime scene.
11:50There's this one, which has had loads done.
11:56All the way alongside.
11:58You can see where they've cut a box open there
12:00to see what's inside the box as well.
12:02But anything like this, that's boxes of goods
12:05that they can sell on eBay or wherever,
12:08then they'll do it.
12:12Because they're relatively easy to shift,
12:15not too heavy and worth some money.
12:20Nothing has been stolen tonight
12:22thanks to an extraordinary team effort by the interceptors.
12:26Good boy.
12:27And, without doubt, man of the match has to be Bryn.
12:31I just drive him around and point him in the right direction
12:34and off he goes.
12:35So, if he could drive, he wouldn't need me.
12:37He's amazing.
12:37And tracking is absolutely his thing.
12:40And he's proved it again tonight.
12:43The four men arrested were interviewed
12:45regarding the events of the evening.
12:47But no link could be drawn between them
12:49and the attempted theft from the lorries.
12:52They were all later released without charge.
12:54It's Wednesday afternoon.
13:13Interceptors Rob and Charlie
13:14have got behind a silver Vauxhall Astra van
13:17that's suspected of being on cloned plates.
13:19The blues and twos are blaring,
13:22but the van driver seems hesitant.
13:26You, you.
13:29Six, one.
13:31The siren's on lights illuminated.
13:32He's done a little U-turn in the triangle
13:34up the lane.
13:36Looks like the penny's finally dropped.
13:40He's flowing, but he's a bit reluctant
13:43to actually stop for us.
13:44Rob's the passenger today,
13:47so does the honours.
13:48Romeo, it's up to six, one.
13:49We've got the vehicle, stop, stop.
13:51Yardley Road, just off the 508.
13:54If you've got someone close
13:55that could join us, it's two up.
13:58There are two men in the van,
13:59but the one behind the wheel
14:01is refusing to get out.
14:03I'm going to go out and join my colleague.
14:05I think the driver's not happy
14:06with getting out of the car.
14:08Charlie gets out to help him see sense,
14:10but the van driver just sees an opportunity.
14:14The Vauxhall driver has laid down
14:21a challenge to the interceptors.
14:23The Charlie's Beamer 3 Series
14:24has 250 horses under its hood.
14:28These motors are leagues apart,
14:30and within seconds,
14:31the boys are back in the game.
14:39Aside from the suspected cloned plate,
14:41the boys aren't sure why he's so desperate
14:43to get away.
14:48Rob and Charlie need a plan
14:49to take him down.
14:55Because he's all over the road
14:57and putting countless lives in danger.
15:03A stinger team is en route,
15:05and it can't come soon enough.
15:15The runaway Vauxhall's tried to shift the cops
15:17on the roundabout,
15:18but it hasn't done him any favours.
15:20Because of the oncoming traffic,
15:25he's now trapped on the pavement.
15:34As his reckless jaunt off-road comes to an end,
15:38Rob and Charlie get the news
15:44that they've been waiting for.
15:51200 metres up ahead,
15:52a stinger has just been deployed.
15:54Spotting the stinger,
16:00the driver swerves left,
16:01but can't avoid its razor-sharp spikes.
16:05The vehicle's done!
16:06The vehicle's done!
16:07Charlie slams on the anchors,
16:09and after waiting for the stinger team,
16:11he's playing catch-up.
16:12But, with the wind out of its sails,
16:23the driver doesn't take much catching.
16:26Take the turn, take the turn.
16:31Cast the engine to place on any car other than yet.
16:35I guess, yeah.
16:36Hang on, let me figure it.
16:37Let me figure it.
16:38The cavalry is up ahead.
16:50No walking, YGT.
16:54Driver at an advanced front-mark start.
16:57Waiting in the wings is an advanced driver
16:59in an Unmar motor.
17:02That motor is a 2.5-tonne hybrid Volvo XC60.
17:08The 15-year-old Astrovan is now outnumbered and outgunned.
17:12So, hold that.
17:13Stop, do you want it to take over?
17:15Yeah.
17:17So, Charlie veers left and passes the baton to the Volvo.
17:20The plan is to try and box the van in,
17:30and their chance might come sooner rather than later.
17:33I think I'm so quiet now.
17:35Van man must know it's nearly game over.
17:45Off, off, off, Collintree.
17:49Because of the traffic, there's no opportunity to box him in,
17:55so a decision is made to make tactical contact.
17:57Approaching the roundabout, wait.
18:00Wrong side, wrong side, high risk.
18:03But the pursuing cops will have to bide their time.
18:07OK, it's wrong side, 8.45, off, Collintree.
18:10Right side again, medium risk.
18:124-3, medium risk.
18:15This could be their chance.
18:21OK, contact, contact, on the roundabout.
18:24He really wants to get away, don't he?
18:28Weaving like a cornered snake, complete with ladders, he's just about done.
18:36Go on, mate, go on, mate.
18:37I can't get out.
18:39The pursuit is over, but the job itself is anything but.
18:43There's a dog on the carriageway as well.
18:45The passenger has just been caught, but the driver has scarpered.
18:51He's legged it across two lanes of dual carriageway and disappeared into a field.
19:048.41.
19:06Winding Brook Lane, that's where he's going to be.
19:09Young male, about 30.
19:11Short sleeves.
19:12The field backs onto a large housing development.
19:17My gut reaction is going to be he's gone to ground within the houses here, so in the gardens.
19:22Firearms cops have now joined the interceptors to help smoke him out.
19:26There's a traffic cop that's coming up this way doing the houses.
19:30I square these and you do some of those.
19:32It's all right, thank you.
19:34The likelihood is that the runner is hiding out on private property.
19:38But after half an hour, it looks like the trailer's gone cold.
19:45Then, just above the fence line, the officer spots some movement.
19:52But rather than go all guns blazing, he's got a better idea.
19:57No, I think it's long gone now, mate.
19:59You're going to see him in two more minutes to knock it on the head.
20:03He is, of course, bluffing.
20:05And when the suspect is safely out of earshot, he gets on the radio.
20:08I will be too urgent message.
20:14Jay, the house at the corner of Tanglewood, get that contained.
20:18I think he's in the rear garden.
20:20Several units are dispatched to secure the perimeter of the property.
20:26Get on the end there.
20:29A big corner on the house.
20:31He's in the back corner there.
20:31Get on the front, get it contained.
20:32As the front and sides are sealed off,
20:36the interceptors enter through the bottom of the garden
20:38and make their move.
20:42Oh, please, show me your hands now!
20:45On the ground!
20:46On the ground!
20:47Get on the ground!
20:50The man is cornered and knows the game's up.
20:54He's on the floor, just needs a new crew around here.
20:58Keep your hands on your back.
20:59I'm sorry, sir.
21:01I'm not going back.
21:02And the fellow who caused so much havoc on the county's roads
21:05is finally in cuffs.
21:08First time I had you under arrest.
21:09I'm sitting right, mate.
21:11All right.
21:13Just relax.
21:14Take it easy.
21:15I'm going to relax.
21:16OK, mate.
21:16I'm all right.
21:17What's your first name?
21:18So who is this man who was so desperate to evade capture?
21:22My name is James.
21:23Right, listen, listen.
21:24Right, a lot's happened.
21:25OK?
21:26You've been arrested for a couple of fences.
21:27All right.
21:28We can take you through custody, OK?
21:30Well, you give me this for you about your involvement in this event, OK?
21:33All right, then.
21:34Sorry, Paul.
21:34I've got to tell this for you.
21:35It's one of two, three.
21:37Windy Brook lane in the rear going off.
21:38OK.
21:39Come on, chap.
21:40I'll tell you this, sir.
21:40No action was taken against the driver for driving on false plates.
21:46However, he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, no insurance, and driving whilst disqualified.
21:52He was sent down for 12 months, got a 30-month ban, and had to pay £187.
21:58His passenger received a suspended prison sentence for failing to comply with a crime prevention
22:05order, and was ordered to pay over £800 in fines.
22:13Coming up...
22:14As you can see, I've got a load of spill on the chosen.
22:19A tussle with a Wellingborough cannibal.
22:21Not even lunchtime on Sunday straight, are you?
22:24And...
22:24That is honestly so, so bad.
22:28Harrison dishes out a few home truths.
22:31That child is at so much risk of harm.
22:34If you have a crash, you're safe.
22:35That child isn't safe.
22:37It's dangerous.
22:37Dad, leave it!
22:50Help me!
22:50Get off my bed, please!
22:52Please, get off my bed!
22:53The front line of crime can sometimes feel like the Wild West.
22:57Get on the floor!
22:58But rather than reach for a revolver...
23:00Help!
23:016-1, mail's been sprayed.
23:03Cops in North Hans prefer a less lethal option.
23:06Mother, please!
23:08Mother, please!
23:09No, let's make it worse.
23:12So the Parvis Bray will shoot out a jet of basically chilli sauce.
23:18And it really hurts.
23:21It'll make you close your eyes and keep them closed.
23:24It'll make you snot everywhere, cough.
23:26It's really not nice stuff.
23:28But it does the job on 99% of people.
23:31If you get them in the eye, they'll stop doing whatever they're doing.
23:35And you'll be able to deal with the threat.
23:45It's Friday morning and Ian Bomber Bayliss, together with several other units, is on the lookout for a wanted motor.
23:51So we are looking for a vehicle that's been identified as being involved in a burglary yesterday evening,
24:02where the offenders have used some weapons, so there's some aggravating factors, so that's something we need to consider.
24:09The suspect motor is a black Nissan Qashqai.
24:13From our intelligence unit, we've managed to identify some addresses that are linked to it,
24:27and we've managed to find the car parked outside one of those addresses.
24:30We're just having a discussion with the detectives that are dealing with the job
24:35and going to work out whether we're going to take the car now
24:38or we're going to sit up and wait for it to move.
24:43Bomber joined the force to keep his beloved county free from crime.
24:47He used to work in print design, but these days only has designs on bad guys who roam his patch.
24:53And his team's just hatched a plan to catch one.
25:01So Perry's going to go in and box the car in, which is sensible,
25:08prevents any pursuit from our point of view, and we can get a wrap on the house.
25:15While two units head off to secure the Nissan, Bomber leads a small team to see if anyone's in the house.
25:23This side, the gate's open.
25:25According to Intel, the property belongs to a relative of the suspected burglar.
25:30I'm just round the back of the address near the garden. All the windows are closed.
25:36And because weapons were used in last night's crime, interceptors must be cautious.
25:45If there's someone in there, they could be armed.
25:48You just can't see anything through this window, but it looks like there's a wall on the opposite side,
25:52so I'm thinking it goes that way or not.
25:55Now Ian's concerned there could be another way out of the house.
26:02Meanwhile, back on the roadside,
26:05police have spotted someone lurking in the Nissan.
26:08Not only is the man resisting arrest, but he's just sunk his teeth into Framie's leg.
26:23Stop biting me!
26:25Put your hand on the engine!
26:26Put your hand on the engine now!
26:28Put your hand on the engine now!
26:30So they unleashed the parbour.
26:35Help me!
26:37It's the police, mate. Relax.
26:39Help me!
26:40Help me!
26:42I've got a lock on.
26:44I've got a lock on.
26:44I've got cuffs now.
26:45I've got cuffs.
26:46You're under arrest on suspicion of aggravated burglary.
26:50Don't have to say anything to me, harming the fence.
26:52Don't mention impressions of something you're ate or lying in court.
26:54And if you do say, maybe you can never understand that.
26:57I can't see.
26:58I haven't even done nothing.
27:00I haven't done nothing.
27:02Relax, mate.
27:02We'll explain.
27:03Nothing!
27:03Cuffs on.
27:04It turns out the bloke had been asleep in the car,
27:07and when the cops opened the door, he kicked off.
27:10Hold up.
27:11You are biting me.
27:13Talk about a rude awakening.
27:14It took five interceptors and half a can of parbour,
27:20but the man is finally restrained.
27:25Bave me in my eyes for no reason, buf.
27:28Now Ian's found the bloke's record,
27:30which makes for interesting reading.
27:33It turns out he's wanted on recall to prison anyway,
27:36so he'll be back in jail in the next 24 hours.
27:41The biter is a wanted man.
27:43He doesn't want to go to jail,
27:45and he knows he's probably wanted.
27:49And he's got nothing to lose now,
27:51so he's always going to try and struggle and escape.
27:55Luckily, there was enough of us,
27:58and we managed to deal with him.
27:58He's quite a big lad as well.
28:00He was definitely resisting all the way,
28:02but got a face full of spray.
28:05That simmered him down a bit.
28:06As the search begins,
28:10the interceptors are sent a list of items to look out for
28:12that could tie the Nissan to last night's burglary.
28:16So Michael Kors, watches, purse, BMW car key,
28:19any knives, hammers,
28:21and any jackets, coats, hoodies, headwear, face coverings,
28:25gloves, trousers, and footwear.
28:26Was there anything about tartan trousers?
28:32No.
28:34You could have those for yourself, Bomber.
28:36While the car is turned over,
28:38Framie's finally recovered from his encounter with Jaws.
28:40I've been bitten before.
28:43It's not very pleasant.
28:45If it breaks the skin,
28:46and they have any sort of form of hepatitis or anything like that,
28:50then it's a course of jabs,
28:52and it can be quite a long, drawn-out process and quite worrying,
28:54so it's not a very pleasant thing to be spat at or a bit.
28:58As you can see,
29:00I've got a load of spittle on me trousers
29:02where he's trying to gnaw on me.
29:05Yeah, it's not even 11 o'clock yet.
29:06Not even lunchtime.
29:08Can somebody try to eat you?
29:10Unfortunately, the vehicle search hasn't turned up
29:14any of the wanted items.
29:17But in the space of an hour,
29:18they've got a suspect motor off the street
29:20and a wanted man back behind bars.
29:24At one point, there was four or five officers hanging on him
29:26just to detain him,
29:28and he's still struggling to get away
29:30because that's his only motivation to get away
29:34because he doesn't want to go to jail.
29:38The fellow who snacked on Framie's leg
29:40was arrested for assaulting a police officer
29:42and aggravated burglary.
29:44After an investigation,
29:46no further action was taken.
29:48However, he'll be eating prison food
29:50as he was recalled after his license was revoked.
29:53Showing no insurance sped off yesterday from Clunes.
30:08It's Saturday night.
30:111674.
30:12Interceptors Nick and Harrison
30:14are rolling out for the start of their shift
30:16and a job's popped up already.
30:18We are just headed well in Beside
30:21and we should have a look out for X-Ray Delta Alpha,
30:24which was from 386 of the Comet's marker
30:27that it sped off from yesterday.
30:30A wanted motor's been triggering ANPR cameras in the area,
30:34and for the police,
30:35this job is unfinished business.
30:37It went yesterday,
30:38and one of our colleagues in Northampton
30:41was going to a separate job
30:43and the vehicle,
30:44once in him,
30:45has done a U-turn
30:46and sped off,
30:48made off from him.
30:50He hasn't gone after it
30:51because he's been deployed to another incident,
30:53I think it was an RTC,
30:54but we've checked it.
30:55It's come back to no insurance.
30:58The car is a silver Vauxhall insignia,
31:01but aside from having no insurance,
31:02it doesn't appear to be waving any other red flags.
31:05We're having a lot, obviously,
31:08of theft of motor vehicles at the minute,
31:10especially from Wellingborough,
31:12so any suspicious vehicles in that area
31:15will look to get stopped
31:16and see who's driving it.
31:18Fellow Interceptor Lloyd
31:20has just arrived in the area
31:21the Vauxhall was last seen.
31:24Now we're on the take to Tesco Car Park.
31:27Tesco Car Park?
31:29Sounds like our suspects
31:30aren't doing a spot of late-night shopping.
31:32We're making another one.
31:34We're just at the bottom of the 509.
31:35Nick hits the gas.
31:40That's what we're going to try and do,
31:42because Lloyd's unmarked as well.
31:44If we can get there any time before it comes off,
31:46we can just reinforce it
31:47before it gets going somewhere.
31:50Seeing as the suspect made off
31:51from the cops yesterday,
31:53odds are he'll try it again.
31:55When you come into Tesco's Nick,
31:57it was the first day of the nearest
31:59the road.
32:01The plan is for Nick to box the park Vauxhall
32:04in at the rear,
32:05while Lloyd blocks his path in front.
32:08But they'd better be quick.
32:09We always see our moving sides.
32:11It's moving.
32:12It's on the move now, I think.
32:14The suspect's en route to the exit.
32:16Has he got it?
32:17Yeah.
32:18In front of it.
32:18Fortunately,
32:20a quick-thinking Lloyd
32:21has already pounced
32:22and it looks to be job done.
32:26Hello, mate.
32:26You all right?
32:27What's wrong?
32:28OK.
32:29You all right?
32:29Step out for us.
32:30No problem.
32:31What's wrong, sir?
32:32I'll tell you a second.
32:33OK.
32:34The reason we stopped you
32:35is you've seen yesterday
32:36you've got no insurance.
32:37Have you got a driver's licence?
32:38I have a driver's licence.
32:39You've got one?
32:39Provisional, OK.
32:40That's fine.
32:41We'll do with you.
32:41Come back to this car a second.
32:42Put the cigarette out for us.
32:43Get me phone, please.
32:44The bloke has already admitted
32:46to only having a provisional licence.
32:48I'll tell you the reason
32:49we're doing this
32:50is because we've been behind you yesterday.
32:52OK.
32:53One of our vehicles.
32:53I've got insurance.
32:55Listen, listen, listen.
32:56Take a seat in there, please.
32:58Sorry.
32:59We'll explain everything.
33:00Yeah, we'll just move out of the way.
33:01Scared leg.
33:01Sorry, OK.
33:03They're blocking the exit
33:05to the car park,
33:06so a decision has been made
33:07to move elsewhere for the Q&A.
33:10Obviously, yesterday,
33:11he made off from a marked vehicle.
33:14He's got no insurance on the vehicle
33:15because the risk is
33:15he's going to fail to stop again.
33:16I think he thought about it
33:17because while he put the lights on,
33:19he stopped.
33:20So have you got insurance?
33:21Hadn't.
33:22He's got a provisional licence.
33:23I have a provisional licence,
33:24but I haven't got insurance.
33:25I've checked his DL.
33:28A provisional licence
33:30is just for learners,
33:31as everyone knows.
33:32Everyone, it seems,
33:34except this chap.
33:35Provisional licence.
33:36Yeah, I know that.
33:36You can't drive on that.
33:37OK.
33:37So we'll have to go through some
33:39on, obviously, not paperwork.
33:41Am I going to be arrested?
33:43We'll be arrested.
33:44OK, I'm scared.
33:45I'm going to be...
33:45Just listen, I'll explain it.
33:47We called baby last weekend.
33:48That's fine.
33:49Just listen to my colleague.
33:50You're not getting arrested.
33:52No licence means no insurance
33:54and his motor's being seized too.
33:56Because it's two offences,
33:57you have to go to court.
33:58OK.
33:59OK, so you'll receive a summons for court
34:00and then you can go and explain
34:02your situation,
34:03your circumstances in the courts.
34:04And essentially,
34:05they're the ones that make the decision,
34:06not us.
34:06The bloke will be on his way
34:08in no time.
34:09417.
34:11But through the side window,
34:12Harrison spotted something troubling.
34:14Baby on the lap.
34:17A small child riding free
34:19in the back of a car.
34:20That car's got a baby on the lap
34:21on the back of him.
34:23A baby on the back
34:24on the lap.
34:26A child not strapped into a car seat
34:28is guaranteed to get
34:29an interceptor's backup.
34:31Sergeant Ritchie Gibson
34:32clocked it too
34:33and has already made the pull.
34:37You can't just give some of the lap.
34:40That is honestly so, so bad.
34:4330.
34:43You must know.
34:44So dangerous.
34:46It's the law that any child
34:48under 12 must use a car seat.
34:50The fact this little one
34:51isn't even strapped in
34:53is worrying to say the least.
34:55If this is the most important thing
34:57in your car,
34:58why is it in the most dangerous position?
35:00Everybody else has got seatbelts on
35:01and the one person who hasn't,
35:03it's the one that you care about the most.
35:06With no car seat in the motor,
35:08Ritchie can't let them leave.
35:09But the rear passenger
35:10appears to be offering a solution.
35:13She's now put the seatbelt
35:14around herself and the child.
35:16Needless to say,
35:16it won't work.
35:17But in instances like this,
35:19the responsibility lies with the driver.
35:23So I'm just going to caution you
35:24so you don't have to say anything
35:25that may help me defence
35:26if you don't mention now
35:27something which you'll lay for on in court.
35:29You've got your seatbelt on.
35:30That child is at so much risk of harm.
35:35If you have a crash,
35:36you're safe.
35:37That child isn't safe.
35:38It's dangerous.
35:40A third of all those killed in car crashes
35:42are found not to have been wearing a seatbelt.
35:45And tragically,
35:46around 500 children aged 7 and under
35:49are killed or seriously injured
35:51on our roads every year.
35:53Why put a young child in danger like that
35:56for a few pounds while at a taxi
35:58or just not arranging for a child's seat
36:00in the first place?
36:01They knew they were collecting the child
36:02and they didn't bother to do it safely.
36:04And I don't get with the free availability
36:07of child restraints these days
36:08why you'd even consider taking such risks.
36:12It staggers me.
36:13The driver has been issued a ticket.
36:17Well resolved.
36:18And most importantly,
36:19they won't be driving anywhere
36:20until the child's car seat
36:22has been brought here from home.
36:25She'll get reported for it.
36:28And obviously it's up to the process team
36:29how they progress with it.
36:31So yeah, hopefully they'll get the message
36:32and the main thing is don't do it again.
36:34And that child will be safe for future journeys.
36:38The female driver was reported
36:40for having a child under three in her car
36:42without a car seat
36:43and was sent on a seatbelt awareness course.
36:46No action was taken against the Vauxhall driver
36:49for the alleged fail to stop the night before
36:51but he pleaded guilty to no insurance
36:53and no license.
36:55He got six points
36:57and had to pay fines and costs of £246.
37:00Still to come.
37:04No, 80-year-old asthmatics can do this.
37:08A driver loses his puff
37:09and Rob loses his patience.
37:12Listen, just listen.
37:13You'll end up getting yourself arrested
37:15for failing to provide, okay?
37:17Alcohol affects coordination.
37:32What's happened?
37:34That's happened.
37:36I saw the car pass me about 100 miles an hour.
37:38Oh, right.
37:38Reaction times.
37:40Good stuff.
37:41And encourages risk-taking.
37:44Oh, my God.
37:47So, when mixed with driving,
37:48it makes for a deadly cocktail.
37:52Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash.
37:54Vehicle's in the ditch.
37:55Vehicle's in the ditch.
37:59Drinking drivers seem to think
38:00that their driving ability
38:01is better than what it is.
38:03But, you know, that comes down to alcohol
38:05giving you that false sense of bravery.
38:08So, they'll take more risks.
38:09They'll drive more dangerously.
38:11And if they're not caught
38:13and they don't crash,
38:14they're going to think they're amazing
38:15and they can do it
38:16and get away with it
38:17because they have been doing it.
38:18So, like you say,
38:19they'll keep pushing
38:20and keep getting away with it
38:21until one day they don't
38:22and they either wreck their car,
38:25wreck someone else's car
38:26or kill someone.
38:28On a wet Sunday evening,
38:46Rob's out on his own
38:47in the marked car.
38:48He's just been alerted
38:57to a two-vehicle smash
38:58in a usually quiet village
39:00five miles south of Northampton.
39:07An ambulance
39:08and two other police units
39:09are already there.
39:10But there's no updates yet
39:21on the status
39:22of the car's occupants.
39:24So, fire.
39:25And just for the other crew making,
39:27the sharp right-hand bend
39:28that you've got
39:29in Blisworth
39:31is almost immediately after that.
39:33So,
39:34don't come flying around.
39:35An overturned BMW
39:39on this quiet village street
39:41has understandably
39:42drawn a fair few spectators.
39:45But Rob's first port of call
39:47is with the paramedic.
39:49So,
39:50we've got
39:50a gentleman
39:51driving the BMW
39:52down this way.
39:54He's hit a parked car
39:55which has been moved
39:56off by the community.
39:57You can see the damage
39:58on the offside
39:59so it does tally.
40:01And he's rolled.
40:02He's self-extricated.
40:04He's fine.
40:04He's walking.
40:05He's talking.
40:06Yep.
40:06However,
40:08obviously,
40:08he's got the road implications
40:09and also he's admitted to us
40:12and lots of people there
40:12that A,
40:13he fell asleep at the wheel
40:14and B,
40:15that he's having a drink.
40:16I'm assuming
40:16as he's walking and talking
40:17he's fit and able.
40:19Wonderful.
40:20Ah, okay.
40:22The driver of the Beamer
40:23hit a parked car
40:24so thankfully
40:25he's the only person
40:26involved in the crash.
40:28He's all in order.
40:29Just walking wounded.
40:31But he's fessed up
40:32to having a drink.
40:33And as he's fit and well,
40:35there should be no reason
40:35why he can't provide Rob
40:37with a loanful.
40:40Deep down,
40:41this cop admits
40:42he's a big kid.
40:43His favourite tipple
40:44is Dr Pepper
40:45and says his favourite place
40:46to go on holiday
40:47is Disneyland.
40:49He also knows
40:51there's nothing Mickey Mouse
40:52about drink driving.
40:54Hello.
40:55I understand you've been
40:56in a car accident.
40:58Of course.
40:58Yeah, okay.
41:01You've been involved
41:02in a car accident.
41:02Put very simply,
41:03I'm going to require
41:03a specimen of breath
41:04from you
41:04under Section 6
41:05of the Road Traffic Act.
41:06Okay?
41:07It's par for the course.
41:09Okay?
41:10When was the last time
41:11you had any alcohol?
41:13Half a day ago.
41:14Half a day ago?
41:15Half a day ago.
41:17Okay?
41:18Considering the state
41:19of his car,
41:20the man's in remarkably
41:21rude health.
41:22But is he drunk?
41:24Just take a nice
41:24deep breath in,
41:25make a nice tight seal
41:26around the end
41:27of the tube for me
41:28and just steadily
41:28and evenly blow
41:29until I tell you to stop.
41:30So off you go.
41:32Blow.
41:33It tells me when you're blowing.
41:34Keep going.
41:34No.
41:35Okay.
41:36I have, um...
41:3780-year-old asthmatics
41:39can do this.
41:40Yeah.
41:40Okay?
41:41I'm just saying
41:41that I have some disability.
41:43I can blow
41:44the way normal people can blow.
41:47It's an interesting excuse,
41:48but Rob knows bull
41:50when he smells it.
41:51I've had people
41:52on machines
41:52in hospital
41:53provide.
41:55However you do it,
41:56you need to do it.
41:57If you don't,
41:58you'll end up getting a...
41:59Listen.
42:00Just listen.
42:01You'll end up
42:02getting yourself arrested
42:03for failing to provide.
42:04Okay?
42:05Failing to provide
42:06is as bad as a fail.
42:09Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow.
42:11Keep going.
42:11Keep going.
42:12Keep going.
42:13No.
42:13So it's insufficient volume.
42:15It must be
42:16his disability again, Rob.
42:17I'm trying.
42:18I'm trying to listen.
42:19I don't believe you.
42:21Okay.
42:21But if you can't provide me
42:23a sample at the roadside,
42:24it's guaranteed
42:24you'll come into custody.
42:26So come on.
42:27Let's hope
42:28it's third time lucky.
42:34Lovely.
42:37Cool.
42:38That's a reading of 107.
42:40The limit is 35.
42:42Okay?
42:43He's more than
42:44three times
42:44the legal drink drive limit.
42:46Just come this way
42:48for me.
42:50If he's that far gone,
42:51it's little wonder
42:52he fell asleep
42:52at the wheel.
42:54Turn and face that way.
42:55Just pop your hands
42:56into the small of your back
42:57for me.
42:57Good man.
42:59A search of the man's pockets
43:00turns up
43:01several beer bottle tops.
43:03Was it half a day ago
43:04you reckon
43:04you last had some?
43:06Two?
43:06Half a day.
43:07Somehow,
43:08I don't believe you.
43:09No, you need to.
43:11I need to,
43:12do I?
43:13He'll now need
43:14to be placed
43:15on the intoxilizer
43:16back at the station
43:17to give an evidential sample.
43:19Come this way.
43:20I'll sit you
43:21in a comfier car.
43:23But if it comes out
43:24anywhere close
43:25to his roadside test,
43:26he'll be looking
43:27at a lengthy ban.
43:29You can sit in there.
43:33Well,
43:33I imagine you've not
43:34been caught
43:34for drink driving before.
43:37Well,
43:38you shouldn't do it,
43:39really, should you?
43:39I'll be around
43:40in a minute.
43:40I wouldn't do it.
43:42Before heading off
43:43to custody,
43:43Rob checks
43:44the bloke's credentials.
43:46Are you a HGV driver?
43:49Did you drive for work?
43:53He may need
43:54to start thinking
43:54about a new career.
43:56He's well over.
43:58It needs to be dealt
43:58with in custody.
44:00He'll have to provide us
44:01with some breath
44:02at the station,
44:03which will give us
44:03a more accurate reading
44:04as to what level
44:05of alcohol
44:06in his body.
44:07And then he'll need
44:08to be interviewed
44:09to account for
44:09how he ended up
44:10upside down.
44:11It's an almighty
44:14effort for
44:15stupid reasons,
44:17really.
44:17There's nothing
44:18that justifies
44:19driving whilst
44:20over the limit.
44:21back at the NIC,
44:24the man blew
44:24even higher,
44:25hitting 109
44:27on the Intoxalizer.
44:29So,
44:30the judge slapped him
44:30with a 12-month
44:31community order,
44:32fined him just under
44:33200 pounds
44:34and banned him
44:35from driving
44:35for more than
44:36two years.
