00:00This is Police Interceptors.
00:04Police Interceptors are all I for.
00:06I'm going to tell my kids we're riding.
00:08And you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
00:11Speed 120.
00:14Ace Pursuit drivers.
00:16Contact, contact, contact.
00:18With air support.
00:19They're two out, standby.
00:21I'm out!
00:22And a crack dog unit.
00:24If you move, you will get hit.
00:27They bring down the bad guys.
00:29I believe you'll want it, mate.
00:31Keep the streets safe.
00:34And battle 24-7.
00:40Get down on the floor.
00:42In the war on crime.
00:44Crash, crash.
00:46This is what it is, isn't it? We find them, we lock them up.
00:50Got me up.
00:54Mayhem on the motorway.
00:58Get out of the vehicle!
00:59Get out of the vehicle!
01:00Get out of the vehicle!
01:01Get out of the vehicle!
01:02And while one rider gets a good start in the 11.30 at Northampton.
01:07Stop!
01:08Police!
01:09We're teasing!
01:10Another...
01:11Yeah, it's just come past.
01:13...falls at the final fence.
01:15Up against the fence!
01:16Up against the fence!
01:17Let's see.
01:18I'm finally back now.
01:31Mid-afternoon on the motorway and drivers have no idea what's motoring up behind them.
01:36Cops are racing in numbers to try and reach a suspected stolen car.
01:45A blaze.
01:48Lots off.
01:50But motorway traffic isn't making it easy.
01:55For every car the cops pass, another slows them up.
02:05And they need to get a shift on.
02:07Because the car they're after was allegedly stolen by a gang wielding machetes.
02:14Tempos A1.
02:15Surviving on scene.
02:16We'll be on down at charge 2.
02:18Luckily, the National Police Air Service has swooped in to keep tabs on the target.
02:23A dark blue Beamer X3.
02:32Lights off.
02:34Go.
02:35Yes.
02:36Meanwhile, the road team has eyes on as well.
02:39That'll be nine hours.
02:41The eyeball hits.
02:42Lane two.
02:43Speed seven zero.
02:44Lane three.
02:45Crouching.
02:48The target can be no doubt now that they're being followed.
02:51And, unsurprisingly, the driver has ignored blue lights.
02:55Speed eight zero.
02:59I'll be easy to catch up and try to box it.
03:02They plan to box in the Beamer with multiple armed response vehicles.
03:06And they'll need plenty of handcuffs when they do.
03:09Three up.
03:12At least three up, mate.
03:13At least three up.
03:14It's totally more late three.
03:16Speed four six.
03:17We'll stay behind it.
03:18We'll stay behind it.
03:21Speed now increasing.
03:25The road's rammed, but the runaway's recklessly weaving through traffic, while passengers lob stuff out of the window.
03:35Getting items discarded from the vehicle.
03:38Near side indication towards M6.
03:41The target's really taken off now.
03:50Let's go between lanes one and two.
03:52Back to one.
03:54And it's heading for the border.
03:56Can we get on to Warwickshire in west mid?
03:58Speed one zero.
04:06It's committed, committed.
04:08M6.
04:09Late two.
04:10Speed.
04:11Nine six.
04:12Medium risk.
04:13Now takes the hard shoulder.
04:15Speed four zero.
04:16All right, it's coming out.
04:17More items discarded.
04:18Raining more goodies from its windows, the stolen Beamers eating up the miles between here and the next county's patch.
04:26Go on to Warwickshire in west mid.
04:28Go on to Warwickshire in west mid, please.
04:30The X3's nearing its limit of 130 miles per hour.
04:34But the lead cop car is a Volvo XC90, with a further 20 miles per hour in its locker.
04:47I'll go for a get-by.
04:48Yeah.
04:49Shut up, shut up.
04:51Yeah, we're gonna go for a get-by.
04:53He's not gonna let me.
04:55In a high stakes game of cat and mouse, the runaway blocks the overtake.
05:00The others are still quite a bit behind.
05:03The cops have the numbers to box in the Beamer, but someone has to get ahead of it to do that.
05:11Yeah, half mile marked board for junction one, the M6.
05:16Which is easier said than done.
05:18A marked car is neck and neck with their target at 130 miles an hour.
05:27One, two, three up.
05:29And at the wheel, firearms cops get their first look at the suspected machete gang.
05:34Here goes three up.
05:36Keeping pace requires highly skilled driving.
05:39Oh, it's his neck later.
05:49Skills the bad guy doesn't have.
05:52At 110 miles per hour, he cuts wildly across a lorry and so nearly steps out the back end into oblivion.
06:00Good driving, good driving.
06:04Yeah, yeah, clear here.
06:06It's off, off, off. Junction one, right about.
06:10The lead car's keeping the Beamer on a tight leash.
06:13Yeah, skip, you take cons.
06:14As it goes round the houses and rejoins the motorway.
06:23Back on action, back on junction two, M6.
06:28The marked car behind the target is pulling at all the stops to get ahead of it.
06:40And after a serious sprint along the hard shoulder...
06:42Get by complete.
06:43Success.
06:44But there's a long way to go before they can box it in.
06:58Well, I can't do anything on my own.
07:02They need three cars at the back to tighten up.
07:05But the runaway's travelling too fast.
07:08Can we get closing up, please, and get something on this?
07:12Vehicle is lane three, speed 119, medium risk.
07:17Rear markers get a collective foot down.
07:19And, at last, they have the requisite three behind and one in front.
07:24OK, stick's complete now.
07:27Stick's complete.
07:29Try and get it on the full next junction.
07:34The fearless foursome now need to perform a high-speed, high-stakes piece of tactical pursuit and containment.
07:42We'll stay behind to get them to come up to the near side.
07:45Yeah, can the next car come up to the near side?
07:46We'll stay behind and push it into the box.
07:50With a marked car in front of the target,
07:51the next step is to pull a car alongside.
07:55Boss, do you want to come through?
07:57Yeah, it's going off tight.
07:59Yeah.
08:00The Beamer blocks the move.
08:01But, with traffic at a standstill ahead...
08:04Oh, yes. Come on.
08:07Static, static.
08:08Yeah.
08:09It may not matter.
08:10It's going to be a hell more static.
08:11This will be a chance.
08:13They just need to pin the BMW in place.
08:17Close up, close up.
08:18Close up, close up.
08:22But it's too late.
08:25It's taking a hard shoulder.
08:27With a cop behind, another hugging its right side and solid traffic on its left, this should be the end of the line.
08:34The Beamer engages the Houdini drive and performs the great escape.
08:45It's now racing down the hard shoulder with just one car in pursuit.
08:50Speed, three, five increasing.
08:53And the great wall of traffic between the target and the rest of the stick.
08:56Let's get free.
08:57Yeah.
08:58With nowhere to break through to the hard shoulder.
08:59Things look desperate.
09:00Get off the wall.
09:01The Interceptors are in danger of letting a suspected machete gang off the hook.
09:03Get off the wall.
09:04The Interceptors are in danger of letting a suspected machete gang off the hook.
09:07The Interceptors are in danger of letting a suspected machete gang off the hook.
09:36Interceptors are after a BMW allegedly nicked by men with machetes.
09:45It's hit 130 and has been driven to its limits.
09:54The GOPS attempted T-Pack...
09:56It's going off tight.
10:00...has gone south.
10:02And as traffic's brought the target to a halt...
10:04...it's somehow broken away.
10:12Taking a hard shoulder.
10:14...leaving one in pursuit and the rest in no-man's lane.
10:20A second cop car's made it to the hard shoulder, but they're playing catch-up and running out of time.
10:28They've no choice but to hit the gas.
10:34While ahead of them...
10:37Still a hard shoulder, speed 8-0.
10:40...the lead car sticks with the runaway.
10:43Easy enough, just take pressure off them.
10:45It's a fine balance between speed and safety.
10:50M-pass, have you still got high port?
10:52Yes, yes, affirmative. Still got the subject vehicle.
10:54What air support can see, but the runaway can't, is a broken-down lorry on the hard shoulder ahead.
11:03Oh, Jesus.
11:05No-one survives an 80-mile-per-hour head-on with an HGV.
11:10And the driver slams on the anchors, coming to a stop with inches to spare.
11:15Static vehicle.
11:16It should be game over, but the runaway's playing for extra time.
11:22Static vehicle. Let's knock the shield.
11:24That's it.
11:25Tactical contact, and this time, he's done.
11:32Get out of the vehicle! Get out of the vehicle!
11:36With reports of machetes, the team is taking no chances.
11:40Three in cuffs, and when the cacophony of noise subsides, cops can start asking questions.
11:59Where are you from?
12:00In Sheffield, man.
12:01Sheffield?
12:02Yeah, bro.
12:02What are you doing down here?
12:04The driver has the most to answer for.
12:06Oh, my God!
12:08Over here.
12:10Oh, he's so aggressive. I had my hands up.
12:12Wait, you're afraid to stop driving at insane speeds?
12:15You could have killed someone.
12:17All three of them come from Sheffield.
12:19How old are you?
12:2116.
12:2216.
12:23Are you?
12:24And, incredibly, all three of them...
12:27How old are you?
12:3016.
12:30You're 16 as well?
12:32...have only just broken up from school.
12:34He's 16 as well, apparently.
12:36It sounds like they've gone down to London,
12:38and robbed aggravated burglary.
12:42The Sweet Sixteens allegedly stole the keys from a homeowner they menaced with machetes.
12:47The report says that somebody has come to the door as a delivery driver,
12:52and then they've...
12:53A bit of a distraction burglary with machetes and...
12:55Right.
12:57And they might have got away with it if it wasn't for a lorry driver on the hard shoulder.
13:01How good's your English?
13:03No English.
13:04No English? Okay, that's fine.
13:05Are you broken down here?
13:08Caput?
13:09No.
13:11Tachograph finish.
13:13But this gent hadn't broken down at all.
13:15Tachograph.
13:17Incredibly, he pulled out of traffic
13:19to take his compulsory scheduled break on the hard shoulder.
13:23Do you know why he stopped here, a 45-minute break?
13:25He did us a favour, but he stopped on the hard shoulder.
13:27He did us a favour, it's good,
13:29but you can't stop here.
13:31The teenage driver pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary,
13:35theft of a motor vehicle,
13:36dangerous driving,
13:37and driving without a licence or insurance.
13:40One of the passengers also admitted the burglary and stealing the car,
13:44and the second passenger pleaded guilty to burglary,
13:47as well as possession of a knife.
13:49Quite the what-I-did-during-the-holiday story,
13:52if they ever make it back to school.
13:59It's a late one,
14:07and three cars are in central Wellingborough,
14:09looking for a suspected stolen motorbike.
14:13We're back in one of an hour looking for that motorbike.
14:15Just wondering where 99 is,
14:17and 6.1-R,
14:18what about so they fly'd up?
14:2099, we just hit the town,
14:22so we've come out on a next plane.
14:25Roger.
14:25Bagging bad guys is a team effort,
14:29but every copper wants to score that winning goal and make the collar.
14:33I think we're going to float back along Gold Street.
14:36And as Lockie and Sandra comb the area...
14:38I don't know why I want to build low,
14:42just turn around and see if it's the one.
14:44..their sergeant gets first sniff of the goal.
14:46I don't know, but does it have the top box on the back of it?
14:49Yeah, I think so.
14:51..while Sandra gets her foot down to intercept.
14:53A couple of miles away...
14:54That's going to be the one, that's going to be the one.
14:58..the sergeant's car is close enough
14:59to give the bike a little nudge.
15:02Contact, one bullet.
15:04..the rider's on his toes.
15:06Stop, police, the taser!
15:10Stay there, down the ground! Down the ground!
15:13You're under arrest, that's the motorbike.
15:15You're not saying anything.
15:16May hide the fence, mention one question,
15:17so it's later on call.
15:18Then you do so, make an evidence.
15:21One detained.
15:22There's, um, no injured parties.
15:28No, I don't believe so.
15:30Sandra and Lockie arrive late to the party.
15:33Yeah, control, the bike has got some, um, damage all over it,
15:37to be honest with you.
15:39Just in time to take the suspect from their match-winning sergeant.
15:42What's your name, buddy?
15:46It must be the season for baby-faced bad lads,
15:49because this is another 16-year-old.
15:52What's your name?
15:57You're not going to talk to us?
16:00When he finally does find his voice,
16:02it's not what the cops want to hear.
16:04Have you got a licence?
16:06No.
16:07No.
16:11With a suspected stolen bike off the road
16:13and unlicensed teen in cuffs,
16:16it's a nice result for the team,
16:17but the collar belongs to the serge.
16:20And while he gets the glory,
16:22Lockie and Sandra get the paperwork.
16:24Luckily, Lockie gets a second chance
16:36to bag a biker on his Friday late shift.
16:39He's on the main drag.
16:42But as he closes in on an uninsured two-wheeler...
16:46Yeah, roger that.
16:48Reports come in of a man spaced out at the wheel of a car.
16:51I've just had reports of a male
16:54sat in a red VW Golf outside a pub nearby.
16:59The interceptor has no choice
17:01but to break off his bike hunt and head for the pub.
17:05Looks spaced out.
17:07As slow as possible.
17:09Drug drive.
17:13Lockie likes a day at the coast eating fish and chips,
17:15but he'll have to settle for a night at the pub
17:18looking for dodgy drivers.
17:19Has he been seen to drive
17:22or has he just been seen sat in there
17:24and looks spaced out?
17:25The report says someone out of it
17:27was sitting at the wheel of a red golf.
17:29But when Lockie arrives, there's no-one in the car.
17:33There's a red golf.
17:35Though a guy near it...
17:37..peaks the interceptor's interest.
17:42Hello there, fella. Is this red golf yours?
17:50Is this red golf yours?
17:52No.
17:53No?
17:53No, definitely not, mate. No.
17:56Sure?
17:56I'm waiting for a taxi.
17:58Are you?
18:00He says the golf has nothing to do with him
18:02and he's booked a cab.
18:03Definitely not yours?
18:05No, I'm waiting for a taxi car.
18:06Are you?
18:07Oh, yeah.
18:08Drinking and driving, mate.
18:10Who mentioned drink?
18:12Who mentioned anything about drink?
18:13I was just asking if that was your car, didn't I?
18:16Have you phoned for a taxi?
18:18Oh, yes, mate.
18:18About 10 minutes ago.
18:20Oh, OK.
18:22Oh, yeah.
18:24There's no way I'm drinking and driving.
18:26Yeah, it'd be very silly, wouldn't it?
18:29Extremely silly indeed.
18:30But people do silly things, don't they, from time to time?
18:33Yes, they do.
18:34Yes, they do.
18:36Silly things like driving uninsured motorbikes.
18:44Yeah, it's just come past in Rushton village.
18:47Lockie's original target has caught him on the hop.
18:51But with no one in the golf,
18:52he's now free to go after it.
18:596'4".
19:00As there was no one with that red golf,
19:02and they're inside the pub and the motorbikes come past me
19:04and prioritising the motorbike.
19:06The question is, is he too late?
19:09Where's it gone? Where's it gone? Where's it gone?
19:11Smart when he's left.
19:13Lockie's gone all in on left.
19:18Yeah, there he is.
19:19And we have a winner.
19:22The bike's in the distance.
19:24I'm on the Oakley Road, heading towards Oakley Hay Roundabout,
19:28in an unmarked car.
19:29I've not tried to light it up,
19:30but keeping distance,
19:31just so I can provide comms for TPAC mobiles to make.
19:34The idea is to guide in more TPAC-trained drivers
19:38who can carefully box the bike in.
19:416'4".
19:41Yes, male rider, or believed to be male rider,
19:44wearing a helmet.
19:45In the meantime,
19:47the rider might not know about the unmarked car on his tail.
19:51Yes, yes, it's a left, left, left,
19:53Oakley Hay Roundabout,
19:54A6003 Uppingham Road.
19:57Appears to have a protective jacket on as well,
20:01a helmet,
20:02manner of driving is good.
20:04When it comes to two-wheelers,
20:06it's a case of softly, softly,
20:08catchy, uninsured monkey.
20:09With a driver wearing full protection,
20:12I wouldn't be looking to do any dramatic tactics on it.
20:15I'd be looking to get some plain vehicles near it.
20:17Romeo Papa 64.
20:19We're still a 6'003.
20:21Speed 79.
20:22Not sure if driver is aware that I'm a unmarked police vehicle,
20:26but it's possible.
20:27There are signs that he is aware.
20:30Speed increases.
20:32In fact, it looks pretty nailed on.
20:35Speed 81.
20:37Time to light him up.
20:40Is it made to start?
20:40Yes, yes, a vehicle is failing to start for me.
20:49If the vehicle is failing, then start the initial phase,
20:51because it is on drive.
20:56Approaching Willowbrook Road,
20:57and it's a right, right, right,
20:59onto Willowbrook Road,
21:00followed by a right, right, right.
21:04Lockheed's had his fair share of motorbike pursuits,
21:07and knows how riders press home their advantage.
21:10We're onto Oxford Road.
21:12I suspect he's going to try and head through footpaths
21:14back up onto Oakley Road,
21:16er, Cottingham Road.
21:20Performing some weird straight leg act,
21:22the rider heads for places cars can't go.
21:26Speed 25.
21:27We've gone left, left, left.
21:33He will be going through Bollards,
21:34up onto, er, Cottingham Road.
21:38We're Dorset Road.
21:42I cannot continue from here.
21:44He's gone through Bollards.
21:46And even though the interceptor called it,
21:48that's no consolation.
21:50It's, er, loss, loss, loss.
21:53Lockheed's not the only unit in the area.
21:57If Amiga 4 can keep eyes open,
22:02town centre, please,
22:03he's heading in their direction.
22:05And he might be about to lose
22:07another two-wheeler to the Sarge.
22:12The vehicle's just passed us now,
22:14it's Cottingham Road,
22:14heading in towards town centre.
22:16He's spotted the bike heading the wrong way
22:18down a one-way street.
22:21Now going the wrong way down towards town centre.
22:23Before he can spin round,
22:29the runaway spins and heads straight for him.
22:34The Sarge is now in hot pursuit.
22:37Vehicle continues on Oakley Road,
22:41speed,
22:425-0 miles an hour.
22:49He's now at the correct side.
22:51Yes, yes,
22:52that went down,
22:53left turn.
22:54And it's his turn to be led a merry dance.
22:56No deviation,
22:57still 3-0 miles an hour.
22:59The runaway drives sensibly one minute
23:01and takes daft risks the next.
23:03Speeding the wrong way
23:09down another one-way
23:10and flying over speed bumps.
23:15It's too risky.
23:19The Sarge has had to abort.
23:22But nearby,
23:23Lockie hasn't given up hope.
23:26All right,
23:27where are you going now?
23:30Is this possibly coming this way?
23:32Sure enough.
23:346-4.
23:35I've regained eyeball on that vehicle.
23:37The worst things come to those who wait.
23:40We are on South Road in the old village.
23:44He's unaware of my presence at this time.
23:47And undetected in his plain car,
23:50Lockie watches the bike pull up
23:52and strikes.
23:54How can I do that?
23:57Yeah, don't pick that up.
23:58Up against the fence.
24:00Up against the fence.
24:00Now, how's it going to be back?
24:01South Road, please.
24:03South Road.
24:03Mail detained.
24:04Mail detained.
24:05P, hands-by on your back now.
24:07I'm reaching.
24:10Right, you're under arrest.
24:12Family has a stop.
24:13Dangerous driving.
24:14All that tricky ballard
24:15and speed bump work,
24:16then you pull up
24:17in front of an unmarked cop.
24:19Schoolboy error.
24:21Mail was in the process of
24:23parking the bike up
24:25and walking away.
24:26The cavalry rolls in,
24:28but this is very much Lockie's arrest.
24:30Can I just ask you to hold on to this gentleman?
24:33Nine-nine.
24:33Have you got a licence?
24:37Provisional only.
24:39So, you're also under arrest
24:40for driving otherwise
24:41and according to the licence.
24:43And for no insurance as well.
24:45Deadpool can do drink and drug tests
24:47without revealing his secret identity.
24:49I don't do this.
24:50I'm not an idiot.
24:51I just bought the bike.
24:53Shouldn't...
24:53Shouldn't have drove off.
24:57Keep going.
24:57Keep going.
24:58Keep going.
24:58Keep going.
24:59Keep going.
24:59Keep going.
25:00Keep going.
25:00That's good.
25:01And he passes both.
25:04Got zero.
25:05But he'll have to unmask.
25:06OK.
25:07Take a seat in the car, please.
25:08To face the music in court.
25:11At the very least,
25:13there'll be disqualification,
25:14bans, fines.
25:16Depending what his party's like,
25:18it might well end up
25:19spending some time inside.
25:20But with the way the prisons are
25:22at the moment,
25:22who knows?
25:24The lad, Lockie Locked Up,
25:26limped into custody
25:27and admitted he fell off yesterday.
25:29Sympathy was in short supply
25:31and he was convicted
25:32of driving without a licence,
25:34no insurance
25:34and dangerous driving.
25:36The fail-to-stop charge
25:38was dropped.
25:39But he was still disqualified
25:40for two years,
25:42had to pay £187,
25:44do 120 hours unpaid work
25:46and got an eight-month
25:47suspended prison sentence.
25:50Meanwhile,
25:50the Sarge's 16-year-old collar
25:52from the stolen scooter
25:53pleaded guilty
25:54to driving without a licence
25:55or insurance
25:56and got six points
25:58and a fine.
25:59No further action
26:00was taken
26:01for handling stolen goods.
26:04A share of the goals
26:05and 2-0
26:06to Team Interceptor.
26:13Coming up!
26:14Get on the floor now!
26:17Don't do it now!
26:19An empty promise
26:20from a practised runner.
26:22You don't have to rest me,
26:22but I say I'm going to run them.
26:23You're not going to run,
26:24you just ran.
26:25A landmark memory test.
26:27London Magistrates Court.
26:29London Magistrates Court.
26:32And an interior to die for.
26:34I'd like to be able to admire
26:36your choice of pink and black
26:38bucket seats
26:39whilst it's on four wheels,
26:41not in a crash upside down.
26:42It's a wet Tuesday morning.
26:59six ball catcher inside
27:07about the head that way as well.
27:09And Harrison's cutting through
27:10cats and dogs
27:11with his blues and twos
27:12set to hustle.
27:13We've got a vehicle
27:15which is
27:16on
27:17below number plates.
27:19It's going to be a transit-like vehicle.
27:21It's heading back towards us
27:22into Wetherborough.
27:24We've got a crew
27:25that's
27:25probably going to be there
27:27ahead of it,
27:27so we're going to head down
27:29and see if we can get it
27:29and see if we can get it stopped.
27:32Harrison says
27:32his funniest moment
27:33as a cart was falling
27:34flat on his face
27:35chasing a suspect.
27:38Base planting's
27:39an occupational hazard.
27:40But he's far more sure-footed
27:45in a Beamer 340
27:46even in the rain.
27:49Like the worst road to grade one.
27:51I'll do the best of times
27:52that long in this weather.
27:54Despite the conditions,
27:55Harrison needs to keep his speed up.
27:57He's going to intercept
27:58fake plate white van man.
28:00The van's been spotted
28:08by number plate
28:09recognition cameras
28:10in Wellingborough.
28:16Just coming to Wellingborough, mate.
28:19And Harrison's just made it there
28:21in double-quick time
28:22to back up Lloyd,
28:23the unit closest
28:24to the target.
28:26Yes, yes.
28:27Behind you.
28:27There's a VW
28:30between the cop cars
28:31and the white van.
28:33The vehicle,
28:34it's ahead of the white gold.
28:37So we wear the police car.
28:40The driver's only in the frame
28:41for fake plates
28:42and they're not expecting
28:44any fireworks.
28:46It's not linked to criminality
28:47as such.
28:47I think it's just been
28:48no insurance job.
28:49We'll have doctored the plates
28:50likely to avoid pain, basically.
28:53Or just go for the compliance stop.
28:57The van hangs aright,
28:59taking the traffic
29:00between cops and target
29:01out of the equation.
29:04And as it pulls into an estate,
29:06we may get fireworks after all.
29:12Because the driver's taken off.
29:18Barrett and Lloyd
29:19are neck and neck.
29:19But Lloyd's down.
29:25Thankfully,
29:25the firework went off
29:26more like a damp squib
29:28than a rocket.
29:29And Tanya's caught up
29:30with the driver in an alley.
29:32Get on the floor now!
29:33Don't do it now!
29:35I'm right, I'm right, I'm right.
29:36I'm all right.
29:37I'm sorry, go on,
29:38you only the rest of me.
29:39I'm not running.
29:40It's fine, I'm not running.
29:41All right, boss?
29:42All right, Nick.
29:45Can I just tell my wife then?
29:46Nope.
29:47Keep going.
29:47Keep going.
29:49You've made no time to stop.
29:51You've gone into a car park.
29:52I didn't go in and stop.
29:54Watch out.
29:56I didn't fail to stop, did I?
29:58I just got out.
30:00You just got up for a run,
30:01didn't you?
30:02I know, sorry, boss.
30:03You don't have to arrest me.
30:04He does.
30:05You don't have to arrest me, do you?
30:06Well, at the minute,
30:07we're going to have to deal with you,
30:07aren't you?
30:08Yeah, deal with me, yeah.
30:09But you've got potentially no insurance.
30:11You've got a driver's licence.
30:12Yeah, I've got a driver's licence as well, yeah.
30:13I've just bought the van.
30:14Okay.
30:15That's what I mean.
30:16Take a seat and we'll have a chat with you.
30:17Have you got anything sharp on you?
30:18No, nothing.
30:19Nothing.
30:20I've got a bank.
30:21Okay, that's it.
30:24Get the house keys off that.
30:25Wait a minute.
30:27Don't have to arrest me, boss.
30:28I ain't going to run on.
30:28My kids are laughing off.
30:29Perish the thought.
30:30Sorry, my lord.
30:31You're not going to run.
30:31You've just ran.
30:32I know, because I got scared,
30:33because I've just bought them here.
30:33I got scared, right.
30:34I got scared.
30:35Scared of what?
30:36You, Zane.
30:38Sorry, I was just saying,
30:39not me.
30:40Not really, no.
30:41Take a seat.
30:42Watch your head.
30:42These are, can I do?
30:43Not till we've figured out who you are.
30:46And I think we've figured he isn't Usain Bolt.
30:50Yeah, he's obviously done one from the vehicle.
30:52Thankfully, he's not the fleetest on his feet,
30:54so, and Tanya was straight on him,
30:56so we've managed to get him detained and arrested.
31:00Those who clone number plates
31:01are often highly sophisticated.
31:04This guy...
31:05isn't.
31:06As you can see on his registration plate,
31:11he's just got black sticky tape on it,
31:13so he's doctored the plate,
31:14obviously, from a 1-1 to a 1-6.
31:17Well, a dodgy 1-6.
31:20He's done the world's worst tape job.
31:23It's not even close to looking anything like a 6.
31:27We're not dealing with Wellingborough's Moriarty here.
31:29Oh, yeah, I don't think his expertise was in running,
31:33bless him, or driving,
31:34about the looks of it, either.
31:36He's clearly clipped the kerb or something coming in, hasn't he?
31:38As you can see, very competent driver.
31:40I think we'll just try and deal with it roadside
31:42and we'll have the vehicle recovered for no insurance.
31:45No action was taken against him
31:47for number plate offences
31:48or driving without insurance.
31:51However, the uninsured motor was taken off the road
31:53and the driver has been disqualified
31:55for other unrelated matters for over four years.
31:59In the meantime,
32:00no further action was taken
32:01against our cameraman
32:03for assaulting an officer.
32:05Got wiped out by your cameraman.
32:06Sorry.
32:10Sorry, mate.
32:11All right, come on, come on, come on.
32:13And on the plus side,
32:15Harrison has got a new member
32:16of the Cops Who Faceplant Club.
32:19Oh, God.
32:24We think you've just failed to stop, right?
32:26I haven't failed to stop, though.
32:27I just nearly...
32:28Think you have?
32:29Lies and law-breaking...
32:31You bought them for a Chinese bloke.
32:32Yeah.
32:33What's his name?
32:33Go hand in hand.
32:35I know.
32:37But those who weave the tangled web of deceit...
32:40But what you're telling me doesn't add up.
32:43...generally come unstuck in the end.
32:45I'm sorry.
32:46That's all right.
32:47It's good to be honest.
32:48When people are in trouble
32:58or they've done something wrong,
32:59I think it is human nature
33:01to default to lying.
33:03I could only possibly imagine
33:05the amount of time
33:06that's been wasted in policing
33:07with people
33:08telling porcupines
33:10only just to be found out
33:12in the end anyway.
33:24It's approaching midnight
33:26and then Audi drivers
33:28made a late bid
33:28to leave the M1.
33:33Cutting between lorries,
33:34he makes for the slip road.
33:36Considered it.
33:38Then has a rethink
33:39and returns to the middle lane.
33:42He's just made a very odd manoeuvre.
33:44Looked like he was...
33:45I literally thought
33:45he was going to cut in front of a lorry
33:47and go up the slip road.
33:50It's the sort of poor driving
33:51that attracts a cop's attention.
33:53Something you want to avoid
33:55if you're not 100% legal.
33:58No insurance in that Audi.
33:59Which this guy probably isn't.
34:02And no tax since May as well.
34:03Callum's pet peeve
34:08is unobservant drivers.
34:10And it's fair to say
34:11the one in the Audi
34:11hasn't observed the cop car
34:13in his rear view mirror.
34:16We're up to 90 now.
34:18Because he's put his foot down
34:19and smashed through the speed limit.
34:22Let's go in front of him.
34:26Stuart's right boot
34:27takes them past the Audi.
34:29Callum lights the
34:29follow me sign
34:30in their rear window.
34:32I've got compliance.
34:35And they lead the driver
34:37into the services.
34:48Morning, you OK?
34:50Yeah.
34:51Do you know why we stopped you?
34:52No, not really.
34:53Your car's shown
34:54it's having no insurance
34:54and no tax.
34:55You also look
34:56completely out of it.
34:57Not at all ready
34:59for your close-up.
35:00Why's that coming in?
35:01Police interceptors.
35:02OK, you're getting serious?
35:03Yeah.
35:04You just turn your engine
35:04off for me, mate.
35:07Your driving licence on, yeah?
35:09I have.
35:09Do you have a driving licence?
35:11He says he's got a licence
35:12but doesn't have it with him.
35:14What's your name, bud?
35:16And once he gives his name,
35:17Callum doubts
35:18he has one at all.
35:19OK.
35:20You're under arrest
35:21for driving while disqualified.
35:22You have to say anything
35:22but it may have been defensive
35:23if you do not mention one question
35:24so you should let it rely on in court.
35:25Anything you do say
35:26may be given evidence.
35:27Are you being dead serious?
35:31I'm being dead serious.
35:32Disqualified.
35:32With the details you've given me,
35:34you're showing us disqualified.
35:35Yeah, so you might want to put
35:36my driver's licence number in
35:37to see if I should...
35:38We'll have a look
35:38but at the minute
35:39you're under arrest
35:40until I can prove otherwise.
35:41OK.
35:42Jump up the car for me.
35:43The driver maintains
35:44he does have a licence.
35:46So when does it say
35:47I've been disqualified for?
35:48Er, just tell me when you're disqualified
35:51until, which is January.
35:53London Magistrates Court.
35:55London Magistrates Court?
35:57Yeah, from July 23.
36:00This year?
36:01Yeah.
36:01I've been arrested
36:02since I've come out of prison
36:03in 2019.
36:05The plot thickens.
36:07What's happened?
36:08What's happened?
36:09My little brother's in jail now
36:11for, er, twack.
36:14Apparently, his little brother,
36:15now in prison,
36:16was the one disqualified
36:17and it's all a mix-up.
36:19Any time he's gone to the station,
36:20he's gone in with my name
36:22and then they'll find out afterwards.
36:24He's already in prison,
36:25so I haven't been in London
36:26since last year, May, maybe.
36:29It's an argument
36:29unlikely to hold water.
36:31I mean, the thing is,
36:32if he's been arrested,
36:33they'd be doing the checks,
36:34wouldn't they, for DNA?
36:36So it's going to be you.
36:37Yeah, me,
36:37cos I haven't been in London...
36:38They're not going to disqualify
36:39someone who's not that person
36:41because it's all done through DNA.
36:43All right, but you said
36:44I've been disqualified
36:45from July this year.
36:46Yeah, from the court.
36:47Impossible.
36:48He maintains his brother
36:52was disqualified, not him,
36:54but a DNA test
36:55that the need will settle that.
36:57When we go in,
36:58they'll be putting you
36:59on the DNA checks anyway.
37:01In the meantime,
37:02every cloud has a silver lining.
37:04And on the plus side...
37:06Sorry, lads,
37:07you're going to have to find
37:08another route home, OK?
37:10We're taking the car.
37:12His passengers get to enjoy
37:13Northampton South services,
37:15complete with Roadchef
37:17and WH-Smiths.
37:18All I can suggest is,
37:20in the service area,
37:21grab all your bits and bobs,
37:23and then obviously you can go from there.
37:25And while they hit the shops,
37:27it's a blue-like taxi to the nick
37:28for the innocent man.
37:30His story was,
37:34his brother got him disqualified
37:36and used his details,
37:38which I didn't really believe.
37:40We've gone all the way
37:41through the custody process.
37:42As we've gone to charge him,
37:43he's walked up to the desk
37:44and said,
37:45yeah, I'm disqualified.
37:46So,
37:47he was telling porkies,
37:48basically,
37:49and he's got a nice date
37:50in court for the morning.
37:51In the morning,
37:54Big Brother was further disqualified
37:55for eight months
37:56for driving whilst disqualified
37:58and without insurance.
38:00He won't be joining
38:01his brother inside,
38:02but he was ordered
38:03to pay a hefty total
38:05of £782.
38:09Coming up,
38:11where the going gets tough,
38:13the tough goes shopping.
38:15Into Tesco's.
38:17It's early evening.
38:41And Rob Halfleet's
38:43whistling along the 45
38:44in the unmarked BMW.
38:47When a Blue 2 Series BMW
38:50hares along the slip road,
38:52undertaking cars
38:53and taking off.
38:56As Rob gets his toe down
38:57to keep it in sight,
39:02a second Beamer
39:04passes him like a rocket.
39:09I'll get a moving vehicle
39:10check from you, please.
39:12New boy races past
39:13the Blue 2 Series
39:14before cutting in front of it
39:15and crossing lanes
39:17without indicating.
39:20Then, when he finally
39:21does hit the anchors,
39:23one of his brake lights
39:24doesn't work.
39:26Just go get to your location
39:27and the passage of your turn.
39:30It was 45,
39:31just getting off at Mirway.
39:33Index is Papa 26.
39:35Try and give it a stop.
39:36It's, um...
39:37I think having a bit of a race
39:40with a 2 Series BMW.
39:45He'd be nuts
39:45to try racing Rob's BMW.
39:48It's an M340i
39:49with an advanced driver
39:51at the wheel.
39:51Even so...
39:57That's 72.
40:00Speedy's giving it a good go.
40:02He's now nearly
40:03double the limit.
40:08Which he may regret
40:09in a hurry, too.
40:10Into Tesco's.
40:22OK.
40:23Into Tesco's
40:24and not for the family shop.
40:34So, your starter for 10...
40:36I'm probably going to ask
40:40a really silly question
40:41because it's a really
40:42obvious answer.
40:43Why have I stopped you?
40:44That was me, then.
40:44Yeah.
40:45Also, your manner of driving
40:47on the 45
40:48before you even got off
40:49the 45
40:50was less than ideal.
40:51Yeah.
40:52OK?
40:52Yeah, yeah.
40:53Is it your car?
40:54It is, yeah.
40:55OK.
40:55Have you got your driving
40:56licence on, yeah?
40:57Oh, yeah, I do.
40:58Cool.
40:58Let's have a look at that
40:59for starters.
41:00I was actually looking
41:01at that 2 Series comp.
41:02He was driving a bit.
41:03Yeah.
41:04But he'd calmed down
41:05coming all the way
41:06down the 45
41:06before you then came
41:07shooting past us
41:08in that outside lane.
41:10OK.
41:10OK?
41:10Yeah.
41:11And then, now,
41:12I can't deal with him
41:12because I'm having
41:13to deal with you
41:14because I can't tell you
41:15what speed he did
41:15on a 40-mile-per-hour road.
41:17I can tell you
41:18you got up to near 80
41:19because we were doing
41:20a consistent 72
41:21in the run-up
41:22to those lights.
41:23OK.
41:24Do you think
41:24that's acceptable?
41:25No.
41:26Right, so,
41:27if you were in my boots,
41:27what would you do?
41:29Um, well,
41:31I'm not too sure,
41:31to be honest.
41:32You're not too sure?
41:33No, no,
41:33I don't know what...
41:34Yeah.
41:34Here's a clue.
41:35OK.
41:36Have you got any
41:36points on your licence?
41:38Er, yes.
41:39I've got three.
41:41I'm going to ask
41:42what for.
41:42I can probably guess.
41:44Tyres.
41:45Tyres?
41:45Yeah, I got a random
41:47stop and I had one tyre
41:49that was just below
41:50the limit.
41:50OK.
41:51I'll give you that.
41:52That wouldn't have
41:53been my guess.
41:53My guess would have
41:54been speed.
41:55And there's something
41:56else Rob's struggling
41:57to guess.
41:58Why the choice of
41:59only one Recaro seat
42:00as well?
42:01The reason why
42:03his racing bucket
42:04seat doesn't match
42:05the passenger one.
42:07I've got to ask.
42:08Or do you prefer
42:09comfort rather than
42:10a racing seat?
42:11I'm buying a pink one
42:12for it.
42:13What?
42:14You're buying a pink one?
42:15I'm not having black.
42:17I wanted blue but it's
42:18not the colour blue I
42:19want so I'm going to get
42:20pink.
42:20I've said if she wants
42:21a bucket seat she can
42:22get whatever she wants.
42:24OK.
42:25Fair enough.
42:25I think it is.
42:26Yeah?
42:27It's not going to be you
42:28sitting in it is it?
42:28I suppose.
42:29Exactly.
42:30Yeah that's it.
42:31You may not be sitting
42:32in the driver's seat
42:33either after today.
42:35The problem is
42:36is with the speed and
42:37the manner you're
42:38driving I'd like to be
42:40able to admire your
42:41choice of pink and black
42:43bucket seats whilst it's
42:44on four wheels not in a
42:46crash upside down or in a
42:47ditch or something like
42:48that.
42:49You just can't drive like
42:50that.
42:50OK.
42:52Where's your front plate
42:52gone as well?
42:53It's right behind me.
42:55It literally fell off a
42:56couple of days ago but
42:57Right.
42:58Basically I've been
42:59working night shifts
43:00for the past three days
43:01OK.
43:02So I haven't had a chance
43:02to go half a step one
43:03yet.
43:04OK.
43:05It's a long excuse.
43:0860 and yeah.
43:10And it's still going on.
43:12I do have it.
43:13It's literally just the
43:14screws fell out.
43:15OK.
43:15Get some screws.
43:16Get that back on.
43:18I'm not going to worry
43:19about that.
43:20What I am going to do
43:21however is I'm going to
43:21report you for careless
43:22driving.
43:23OK.
43:24You just need to chill
43:24it out because I'm sure
43:25if you were to bring your
43:26speed down you wouldn't
43:27be able to nip into those
43:28spaces.
43:29You wouldn't cause other
43:30car or road users to
43:31have to put their brakes
43:32on and stuff like that.
43:33OK.
43:34He's taking the careless
43:35driving accusation in his
43:37stride.
43:38Makes sense?
43:39Yeah.
43:39OK.
43:39And seems more worried
43:42about his data going on
43:43the system.
43:44Erm, Chinese have
43:46hacked into UK military
43:49defence or something.
43:50I heard.
43:51Chinese have hacked into
43:52something.
43:53Government-wise
43:54that is far above my pay
43:59grade and far too
44:01important for me to worry
44:02about.
44:02The bucket seat driver was
44:07processed for driving
44:08without due care and
44:09attention.
44:10He was given a
44:11conditional offer and had
44:13to attend an educational
44:14course.
44:15Unlucky for him,
44:16foreign hackers hadn't
44:17managed to disable the
44:18police system.
44:20Cool.
44:20Appreciate it, mate.
44:21No worries.
44:22Though the only thing that
44:23sounds hacked around here
44:24is his BMW.
44:26And the Interceptors are
44:34back next Monday at
44:35eight.
44:35New Wednesday at
44:37eight, Jamie Theakston's
44:38back with Derbyshire's
44:39traffic cops on the tail
44:40of a 40-tonner swerving
44:42all over the motorway.
44:44Next on five, getting to
44:45know the love of your
44:46life on honeymoon.
44:48Might seem a bit late,
44:49but the foresight, they
44:51do things differently.
44:52We're bound for Paris in
44:53just a moment.
44:56Bye-bye.
