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.
00:35Get 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.
00:48This is what it is, isn't it?
00:49We find them, we lock them up.
00:54Coming up.
00:55Oh, it's this.
00:56It's this.
00:57Mayhem on the motorway.
00:59Get out of the vehicle!
01:00Get out of the vehicle!
01:03And while one rider gets a good start in the 11.30 at Northampton.
01:07Slop!
01:08Police with taser!
01:10Another.
01:12Yeah, it's just come past.
01:14Falls at the final fence.
01:15Up against the fence.
01:16Up against the fence.
01:17Up against the fence.
01:18Yeah, I'm finally back now.
01:19Of this.
01:20Mid-afternoon on the motorway and drivers have no idea what's motoring up behind them.
01:39Cobs are racing in numbers to try and reach a suspected stolen car.
01:44But motorway traffic isn't making it easy.
01:54For every car the cops pass, another slows them up.
02:01And they need to get a shift on, because the car thereafter was allegedly stolen by a gang wielding machetes.
02:13Luckily, the National Police Air Service has swooped in to keep tabs on the target.
02:23A dark blue Beamer X3.
02:35Meanwhile, the road team has eyes on as well.
02:43Speed 7-0, lane 3 correction.
02:48The target can be no doubt now that they're being followed.
02:51And, unsurprisingly, the driver has ignored blue lights.
02:55Speed 8-0.
02:59RVs will 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.
03:11At least three up, mate.
03:13At least three up.
03:14It's totally more lane 3, speed 4-6.
03:17We'll stay behind it.
03:18We'll stay behind it.
03:19We'll stay behind it.
03:20Speed now increasing.
03:22The road's rammed, but the runaway's recklessly weaving through traffic, while passengers lob stuff
03:30out of the window.
03:31Forgetting items discarded from the vehicle.
03:36Near-side indication towards M6.
03:41The target's really taken off now.
03:46It's going between lanes one and two.
03:52Back to one.
03:54And it's heading for the border.
03:56We're going to Warwickshire.
03:57Where's it?
03:58Speed 1-0.
04:06It's committed, committed.
04:08M6.
04:09Lane 2.
04:10Speed 9-6.
04:12Speed and risk.
04:13Now takes the hard shoulder.
04:15Speed.
04:16Alright.
04:17It's coming out.
04:18Alright.
04:19It was discarded.
04:20Raining more goodies from its windows, the stolen beam is eating up the miles between
04:24here and the next county's patch.
04:26We're going to Warwickshire in West Mid.
04:28We're going 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.
04:43I'll go for a get-by.
04:44Yeah.
04:45Shut up.
04:46Shut up.
04:47Yeah, we're going to go for a get-by.
04:48He's not going to let me.
04:49In a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, the runaway blocks the overtake.
04:50The others are still quite a bit behind.
04:51The cops have the numbers to box in the Beamer, but someone has to get ahead of it to do
05:08that.
05:15Which is easier said than done.
05:18A marked car is neck and neck with their target at 130 miles an hour.
05:27One, two.
05:28Three up.
05:29And at the wheel, firearms cops get their first look at the suspected machete gang.
05:34Vehicles three up.
05:36Keeping pace requires highly skilled driving.
05:40skills the bad guy doesn't have.
05:53At 110 miles per hour, he cuts wildly across a lorry and so nearly steps out the back end
05:59into oblivion.
06:01Good driving, good driving.
06:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:03It's off, off, off.
06:04Junction one.
06:05Right about.
06:06The lead car's keeping the Beamer on a tight leash.
06:08Yeah, skip.
06:09You take cons.
06:10As it goes round the houses and rejoins the motorway.
06:23Back on, action.
06:24Back on.
06:25Junction two.
06:26M6.
06:27The marked car behind the target is pulling at all the stops to get ahead of it.
06:39And after a serious sprint along the hard shoulder.
06:46Get by, complete.
06:51Success.
06:52But there's a long way to go before they can box it in.
06:56Well, I can't do anything on my own.
07:01They need three cars at the back to tighten up.
07:05But the runaway's travelling too fast.
07:07Can we get closing up, please, and get something on this?
07:11Vehicle is lane three, speed 119, medium risk.
07:16Rear markers get a collective foot down.
07:19And, at last, they have the requisite three behind and one in front.
07:25Right, okay.
07:26Stick complete now.
07:27Stick's complete.
07:28Try and get it on before the next junction.
07:33The fearless foursome now need to perform a high-speed, high-stakes piece of tactical pursuit and containment.
07:42We'll stay behind and get them to come up to the near side.
07:44Yeah, can the next car come up to the near side?
07:46We'll stay behind and push it into the box.
07:49With a marked car in front of the target, the next step is to pull a car alongside.
07:55Boss, do you want to come through?
07:57Yeah, it's going offside.
07:58Yeah.
07:59The Beamer blocks the move.
08:01But, with traffic at a standstill ahead...
08:04Oh, yes.
08:06Come 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.
08:22But 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.
08:32This should be the end of the line.
08:36The Beamer engages the Houdini drive and performs the great escape.
08:46It's now racing down the hard shoulder with just one car in pursuit.
08:51Speed very far and increasing.
08:53And the great wall of traffic between the target and the rest of the stick.
09:01It's getting free.
09:02Yeah.
09:03With nowhere to break through to the hard shoulder.
09:06Things look desperate.
09:11Get off the line.
09:14The interceptors are in danger of letting a suspected machete gang off the hook.
09:19Off the hook.
09:20T-1-0.
09:21Interceptors are after a BMW allegedly nicked by men with machetes.
09:26At least three up, mate.
09:27It's hit 130 and has been driven to its limits.
09:31Oh, it's this, it's this, it's this.
09:32The cops attempted T-Pack.
09:33It's going off-tight.
09:34Yeah.
09:35Has gone south.
09:36And as traffic's brought the target to a halt.
09:38Close up, close up.
09:39Close up.
09:40Close up.
09:41Close up.
09:42Close up.
09:43It's somehow broken away.
09:44Take a hard shoulder.
09:45Ah, it's running.
09:46T-1-0.
09:47Right.
09:48Lee's running.
09:49Right.
09:50Right.
09:51Check it down.
09:52It's the area up.
09:53Is it just another one?
09:54It's just another one?
09:55Oh, it's this.
09:56Oh, it's this, it's light.
09:57Oh.
09:58Oh.
09:59It's winning.
10:00has gone south.
10:02And as traffic's brought the target to a halt,
10:06Close up, close up.
10:09It's somehow broken away.
10:12Making a hard shoulder.
10:14Leaving one in pursuit and the rest in no-man's lane.
10:20Get out of the way.
10:23A second cop car's made it to the hard shoulder,
10:25but they're playing catch-up and running out of time.
10:28Running out of fuel, eh?
10:30They've no choice but to hit the gas.
10:34While ahead of them...
10:36Still hard shoulder, speed 8-0.
10:40...the lead car sticks with the runaway.
10:43Easy enough, just take pressure off them.
10:46It's a fine balance between speed and safety.
10:50Empath, have you still got high ball?
10:52Yes, yes, affirmative. Still got the subject vehicle.
10:55Well, air support can see, but the runaway can't,
11:00is 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,
11:12coming to a stop with inches to spare.
11:15That's it, vehicle.
11:17It should be game over,
11:18but the runaway's playing for extra time.
11:22That's it, vehicle.
11:23Oh, it's not with the shell.
11:24That's it.
11:25Tactical contact, and this time, he's done.
11:32Get out of there, vehicle!
11:34Get out of there, vehicle!
11:36With reports of machetes,
11:38the team is taking no chances.
11:40Three in cuffs.
11:54And when the cacophony of noise subsides,
11:57cops can start asking questions.
11:59Where are you from?
12:00Sheffield, man.
12:01Sheffield?
12:02Yeah, bro.
12:02What are you doing down here?
12:03The driver has the most to answer for.
12:07Oh, my God!
12:08Over here.
12:10I was just so aggressive.
12:11I had my hands up.
12:12But you were trying 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...
12:28How 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
12:39and robbed aggravated burglary.
12:42The sweet 16s allegedly stole the keys
12:45from a homeowner they menaced with machetes.
12:47The report says that somebody
12:49has come to the door as a delivery driver
12:51and then they've...
12:53A bit of a distraction burglary with machetes and...
12:55Right.
12:57And they might have got away with it
12:58if it wasn't for a lorry driver on the hard shoulder.
13:02How good's your English?
13:03No English.
13:04No English?
13:04OK, that's fine.
13:05Are you broken down here?
13:06No.
13:08Kaput?
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
13:21on the hard shoulder.
13:23Do you know why he stopped it?
13:24For a 45-minute break.
13:25He did us a favour,
13:26but he stopped on the hard shoulder.
13:27He did us a favour, it's good,
13:29but you can't stop here.
13:32The teenage driver pleaded guilty
13:33to 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
13:42the burglary and stealing the car,
13:44and the second passenger pleaded guilty
13:46to burglary as 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.
13:54It'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
14:14looking for that motorbike.
14:15Just wondering where 99 is,
14:17and 61 are whereabouts
14:19are they flied up?
14:2099, we're just in the town centre.
14:22And we come out on the next lane.
14:25Roger.
14:26Bagging bad guys is a team effort,
14:29but every copper wants to score
14:30that winning goal and make the collar.
14:33I think we're going to float
14:34back along Gold Street.
14:36And as Lockie and Sandra comb the area...
14:38They're sergeant gets first sniff of the goal.
14:46I don't like to put it on the top box
14:48on the back of it.
14:49Yeah, I think so.
14:51While Sandra gets her foot down to intercept,
14:53a couple of miles away...
14:56That's going to be the one,
14:57that's going to be the one.
14:58The sergeant's car is close enough
14:59to give the bike a little nudge.
15:02Contact!
15:03One for this!
15:04The rider's on his toes.
15:07Slot police with taser!
15:10Stay there, down the ground!
15:11Down the ground!
15:13One of the rest,
15:14that's the most of it.
15:15Can I say anything?
15:16May I find defence mention one question,
15:17so it's late to I call.
15:18Then you do so,
15:19may I get an advantage.
15:21One detained.
15:24Confirm no injured parties.
15:28No, I don't believe so.
15:29Sandra and Lachie arrive late to the party.
15:33Yeah, control.
15:33The bike has got some damage all over it,
15:37to be honest with you.
15:39Just in time to take the suspect
15:40from their match-winning sergeant.
15:44What'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?
15:58You'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,
16:22Lachie and Sandra get the paperwork.
16:24Oh!
16:25Luckily, Lachie gets a second chance
16:36to bag a biker on his Friday late shift.
16:39He's on the main drag.
16:41But as he closes in
16:44on an uninsured two-wheeler...
16:46Yeah, roger that.
16:48...reports come in
16:49of a man spaced out
16:50at the wheel of a car.
16:52Just had reports
16:53of a male sat in a red VW Golf
16:56outside a pub nearby.
16:57The interceptor has no choice
17:01but to break off his bike hunt
17:02and head for the pub.
17:05Looks spaced out.
17:07Slow as possible.
17:09Drug drive.
17:13Lachie likes a day at the coast
17:14eating fish and chips.
17:16But he'll have to settle
17:17for a night at the pub
17:18looking for dodgy drivers.
17:19Has he been seen to drive
17:22or has he just been seen
17:23sat in there
17:24and looks spaced out?
17:25The report says
17:26someone out of it
17:27was sitting at the wheel
17:28of a red golf.
17:29But when Lachie arrives,
17:31there's no one in the car.
17:33There's a red golf.
17:35Though a guy near it...
17:40...peaks the interceptor's interest.
17:42Hello there, fella.
17:48Is this red golf yours?
17:50Is this red golf yours?
17:52No.
17:53No?
17:53No, definitely not, mate.
17:54No.
17:56Sure?
17:56I'm waiting for a taxi.
17:58Are you?
18:00He says the golf
18:01has nothing to do with him
18:02and he's booked a cab.
18:03Definitely not yours?
18:05No, I'm waiting for a taxi call.
18:06Are you?
18:07Oh, yeah.
18:08Drinking and driving, mate.
18:10Who mentioned drink?
18:12Who mentioned anything about drink?
18:14I was just asking
18:14if that was your car, didn't I?
18:16Have you phoned for a taxi?
18:18Oh, yes, mate.
18:18About 10 minutes ago.
18:20Ah, OK.
18:22Oh, yeah.
18:24There's no way
18:24I'm drinking and driving.
18:26Yeah, it'd be very silly,
18:27wouldn't it?
18:29Extremely silly indeed.
18:30But people do silly things,
18:32don't they,
18:32from time to time?
18:33Yes, they do.
18:35Yes, they do.
18:37Silly things like
18:37driving uninsured motorbikes.
18:42Yeah, it's just come past
18:45in Rushton village.
18:47Lockie's original target
18:48has caught him on the hop.
18:51But with no one in the golf,
18:52he's now free to go after it.
18:556'4",
19:00outside with no one
19:01with that red golf,
19:02and they're inside the pub,
19:03and the motorbike's come past me,
19:04and prioritising the motorbike.
19:06The question is,
19:07is he too late?
19:09Where's it gone?
19:10Where's it gone?
19:10Where's it gone?
19:11Smart man, he's left.
19:13Lockie's gone all in
19:14on left.
19:15And we have a winner.
19:22The bike's in the distance.
19:24I'm on the Oakley road,
19:26heading towards Oakley Hay roundabout,
19:28in an unmarked car.
19:29I've not tried to light it up,
19:30but keep in distance,
19:31just so I can provide comms
19:32for TPAC mobiles to make.
19:34The idea is to guide in
19:36more TPAC-trained drivers
19:38who can carefully box the bike in.
19:416'4", yes, male rider,
19:43or believed to be male rider,
19:44wearing a helmet.
19:46In the meantime,
19:47the rider might not know
19:48about the unmarked car on his tail.
19:51Yes, yes,
19:51it's a left, left, left,
19:53OTA roundabout,
19:54A6003 Uppingham Road.
19:57Appears to have
19:58a 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,
20:07softly, catchy, uninsured monkey.
20:09With a driver wearing full protection,
20:12I wouldn't be looking to do
20:13any dramatic tactics on it.
20:15I'd be looking to get
20:15some plane vehicles near it.
20:17Romeo Papa 64,
20:19we're still A6003,
20:21speed 79.
20:22Not sure if driver is aware
20:24that I'm an 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.
20:39Is it a failure to start?
20:42Yes, yes,
20:43a vehicle is failing to start for me.
20:49If the vehicle is failing to start,
20:50the initial phase is due to his own drive.
20:56Approaching Willowbrook Road,
20:57and it's a right, right, right,
20:59onto Willowbrook Road,
21:00followed by a right, right, right.
21:03Lockheed has had his fair share
21:05of motorbike pursuits,
21:07and knows how riders
21:08press home their advantage.
21:10We're on to Oxford Road.
21:12I suspect he's going to try
21:13and head through footpaths
21:14back up onto Oakley Road,
21:16er, Cottingham Road.
21:20Performing some weird
21:21straight leg act,
21:22the rider heads for places
21:23cars can't go.
21:26Speed 25.
21:27We've gone left, left, left.
21:33He will be going through Bollards
21:34up onto, er,
21:37Cottingham 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.
21:55If 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.
22:16Who spotted the bike
22:17heading the wrong way
22:18down a one-way street.
22:21Now going the wrong way
22:22down towards town centre.
22:25Before he can spin round,
22:29the runaway spins
22:30and heads straight for him.
22:35The 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 track side.
22:51Yes, yes,
22:52slowing down,
22:53left turn.
22:54And it's his turn
22:55to be led a merry dance.
22:56No deviations,
22:57still 3-0 miles an hour.
22:59The runaway drives sensibly
23:00one minute
23:01and takes daft risks
23:02the next.
23:03Speeding the wrong way
23:09down another one-way
23:10and flying over speed bumps
23:12is too risky.
23:19The Sarge has had to abort.
23:21But nearby,
23:23Lockie hasn't given up hope.
23:27Right,
23:27where are you going now?
23:30It's possibly coming this way.
23:32Sure enough.
23:346-4,
23:35I've regained eyeball
23:36on that vehicle.
23:37The worst things
23:39come to those who wait.
23:40We are on
23:41South Road
23:43in the old village.
23:44He's unaware of my presence
23:46at this time.
23:47And undetected
23:48in his plain car,
23:50Lockie watches the bike
23:51pull up,
23:53then strikes.
23:59Up against the fence,
24:00up against the fence,
24:00now hands behind you back.
24:02South Road, please,
24:03South Road,
24:03male detained,
24:04male detained.
24:05Hands behind you back now.
24:07I'm reaching.
24:10Right,
24:11you're under arrest.
24:12Finally has to stop.
24:13Dangerous driving.
24:14All that tricky ballard
24:15and speed bump work
24:16and then you pull up
24:17in front of an unmarked cop.
24:19Schoolboy error.
24:21Male was
24:21in the process of
24:23parking the bike up
24:25and walking away.
24:27The cavalry rolls in,
24:28but this is very much
24:29Lockie's arrest.
24:30Can I just ask you
24:31to hold on to this gentleman?
24:339-9,
24:33is he quite a bit?
24:35Have you got a licence?
24:37Provisional only.
24:39So,
24:39you're also under arrest
24:40for driving otherwise
24:41and according to the licence.
24:43And for no insurance as well.
24:44Deadpool can do
24:46drink and drug tests
24:47without revealing
24:48his secret identity.
24:50I don't do this.
24:50I'm not an idiot.
24:51I just bought the bike.
24:53Shouldn't have drove off.
24:54Yeah,
24:54you won't drink.
24:57Keep going,
24:58keep going,
24:58keep going,
24:58keep going,
24:59keep going,
24:59keep going,
25:00keep going.
25:00That's good.
25:01Stop.
25:02And he passes both.
25:04That's zero.
25:05But he'll have to unmask.
25:07Okay.
25:07Take the suit and the car, please.
25:08to face the music in court.
25:11At the very least,
25:13there'll be disqualification,
25:14bans,
25:15fines.
25:16Depending what his past is like,
25:18you 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,
25:25Lockie,
25:25locked up,
25:26limped into custody
25:27and admitted he fell off yesterday.
25:29Sympathy was in short supply
25:31and he was convicted of driving
25:33without a license,
25:34no insurance
25:35and dangerous driving.
25:37The fail to stop charge was 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 to driving
25:55without a license
25:55or insurance
25:56and got six points
25:58and a fine.
25:59No further action
26:00was taken for handling
26:02stolen goods.
26:04A share of the goals
26:05and 2-0
26:06to Team Interceptor.
26:13Coming up!
26:16Get on the floor now!
26:17Let's do it now!
26:19An empty promise
26:20from a practised runner.
26:22You don't have to rescue me,
26:22but I don't care about them.
26:23You're not going to run,
26:24you're just ram.
26:25A landmark memory test.
26:27London Magistrates Court.
26:29London Magistrates Court?
26:30London Magistrates Court?
26:32And an interior
26:33to die for.
26:35I'd like to be able
26:35to admire
26:36your choice of pink
26:37and 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.
27:05Six ball catcher inside of our head that way as well.
27:08And Harrison's cutting through cats and dogs with his blues and twos, set to hustle.
27:14We've got a vehicle which is on a number of plates. It's going to be a transit-like vehicle.
27:21It's heading back towards us into Weddingburgh.
27:24We've got a crew that's probably going to be there ahead of it, so we're going to head down and see if we can get it stopped.
27:31Harrison says his funniest moment as a carp was falling flat on his face chasing a suspect.
27:37Base planting's an occupational hazard, but he's far more sure-footed than a Beamer 340, even in the rain.
27:49We've got the worst road to grade one. I'll do the best of times that load in this weather.
27:53Despite the conditions, Harrison needs to keep his speed up. He's going to intercept fake plate white van man.
28:00We're here, isn't it, lad?
28:02It's coming to our area. Speedy, speedy.
28:07The van's been spotted by number plate recognition cameras.
28:116-4 to 1-4.
28:13In Wellingborough.
28:16Just coming to Wellingborough, mate.
28:19And Harrison's just made it there in double-quick time to back up Lloyd, the unit closest to the target.
28:25Yes, yes, behind you.
28:28There's a VW between the cop cars and the white van.
28:32The vehicle, it's ahead of the white car.
28:36It's going to be where the police can't.
28:40The driver's only in the frame for fake plates, and they're not expecting any fireworks.
28:45It's not linked to criminality as such.
28:47I think it's just been no insurance job.
28:49We've adopted the plate slightly to avoid paying, basically.
28:52Or just go for the compliance stop.
28:57The van hangs a right, taking the traffic between cops and target out of the equation.
29:04And as it pulls into an estate, we may get fireworks after all.
29:10Because the driver's taken off.
29:18Barrington and Lloyd are neck and neck.
29:22But Lloyd's down.
29:24Thankfully, the firework went off more like a damp squib than a rocket.
29:29And Tanya's caught up with the driver in an alley.
29:32Get on the floor now!
29:34I'm right, I'm right, I'm right.
29:37I'm sorry, go on, you don't need arrest me, Nick.
29:39I'm not running, go on, I'm not running.
29:41All right, boss.
29:42All right, Nick.
29:43One second.
29:44Yeah, I'm good, thank you.
29:45Can I just tell my wife, then?
29:46Nope.
29:47Keep going.
29:48You've got to know if I've stopped, you've gone into a car park.
29:52I didn't go and stop, but I just...
29:54Watch out.
29:56I didn't fail to stop, did I?
29:57I just got out.
29:58You just got off a run, didn't you?
30:01I'm sorry, boss.
30:02You don't have to arrest me, do you?
30:03He does.
30:04You don't have to arrest me, do you?
30:05Well, at the minute, we're going to have to deal with you, aren't you?
30:07Yeah, deal with me, yeah.
30:09But you've got potentially no insurance, you've got a driver licence.
30:11Yeah, I've got a driver 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, please.
30:25In a minute.
30:26You're going to have to arrest me, boss.
30:28I ain't going to run on my kids' life or not.
30:29Perish the thought.
30:30You're not going to run, you've just ran.
30:31I know, because I got scared, because I've just bought the vehicle.
30:33Do you know what I mean?
30:34I got scared, right.
30:35I got scared.
30:36Scared of what?
30:37You, Zane.
30:38Sorry, I was just saying, you know what I mean?
30:40Not really, no.
30:41Take a seat.
30:42Watch your head.
30:43Do you look these off now, then?
30:44Not till we've figured out who you are.
30:47And 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 are often highly sophisticated.
31:04This guy isn't.
31:08As you can see on his registration plate, he's just got black sticky tape on it.
31:13So, he's doctored the plate, obviously, from a 1-1 to a 1-6.
31:17Well, a dodgy 1-6.
31:19It's done the world's worst tape job.
31:22It's not even close to looking anything like a six.
31:26We're not dealing with Wellingborough's Moriarty here.
31:29Yeah, I don't think his expertise was in running, bless him, or driving by the looks of it either.
31:35He'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 and we'll have the vehicle recovered for no insurance.
31:44No action was taken against him for number plate offences or driving without insurance.
31:50However, the uninsured motor was taken off the road and the driver has been disqualified for other unrelated matters for over four years.
31:58In the meantime, no further action was taken against our cameraman for assaulting an officer.
32:04Got wiped out by your cameraman. Sorry.
32:10Join me.
32:11Right, come on, come on, come on.
32:13And on the plus side, Harrison has got a new member of the cops who faceplant club.
32:19Oh, God.
32:24We think you've just failed to stop, right?
32:26I haven't first sat there. I just nearly f***ed killed myself.
32:28I think you have.
32:29Lies and law-breaking.
32:31You bought them for a Chinese boat.
32:32Yeah.
32:33What's his name?
32:34Go hand in hand.
32:37But those who weave the tangled web of deceit.
32:41But what you're telling me doesn't add up.
32:43Generally 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 or they've done something wrong, I think it is human nature to default to lying.
33:04I could only possibly imagine the amount of time that's been wasted in policing with people telling porcupines only just to be found out in the end anyway.
33:12It's approaching midnight and an Audi driver's made a late bid to lead the M1.
33:30Cutting between lorries, he makes for the slip road.
33:36Considered it.
33:38Then has a rethink and returns to the middle lane.
33:42He just made a very odd manoeuvre.
33:44Looked like he was...
33:45I literally thought he was going to cut in front of a lorry and go up the slip road.
33:48It's the sort of poor driving that attracts a cop's attention.
33:54Something you want to avoid if you're not 100% legal.
33:58No insurance in that Audi.
34:00Which this guy probably isn't.
34:02And no tax since May as well.
34:07Callum's pet peeve is unobservant drivers.
34:10And it's fair to say the one in the Audi hasn't observed the cop car in his rear view mirror.
34:14We're up to 90 now.
34:18Because he's put his foot down and smashed through the speed limit.
34:22Let's go in front of him.
34:26Stuart's right boot takes them past the Audi.
34:29Callum likes the follow me sign in their rear window.
34:33We've got compliance.
34:36And they lead the driver into the services.
34:45Morning, you okay?
34:50What?
34:51Do you know why we've stopped you?
34:52Nah, not really.
34:53Your car's showing us having no insurance and no tax.
34:56You also look completely out of it.
34:58Not at all ready for your close-up.
35:01Police interceptors.
35:03Are you getting serious?
35:04Yeah. You just turn your engine off for me mate.
35:08Your driving licence on you.
35:10Do you have a driving licence?
35:11He says he's got a licence but doesn't have it with him.
35:14Er, what's your name bud?
35:16And once he gives his name, Callum doubts he has one at all.
35:20Okay. You're under arrest for driving whilst disqualified.
35:22You have to say anything but it may help me defence if you do not mention one question.
35:24Something you should let rely on in court.
35:26Anything you do say may be given evidence.
35:30Are you being dead serious mate?
35:31Being dead serious.
35:32Disqualified.
35:33The details you've given me.
35:34You're showing us disqualified.
35:35Yeah, so you might want to put my driver's number in to see if that's...
35:38We'll have a look but at the minute you're under arrest until I can prove otherwise.
35:41Okay.
35:42Jump up the car for me.
35:43The driver maintains he does have a licence.
35:46So when does it say I've been disqualified for?
35:49Er, just tell me when you're disqualified until, which is January.
35:53London Magistrates Court.
35:55London Magistrates Court?
35:57Yeah, from July 23.
35:59This year?
36:01Yeah.
36:02I haven't been arrested since I've come out of prison in 2019.
36:05The plot thickens.
36:07What's happened?
36:09My little brother's in jail now for, er, twack.
36:13Apparently his little brother, now in prison, was the one disqualified and it's all a mix-up.
36:19Any time he's gone to the station he's gone in with my name and then they'll find out afterwards.
36:24He's already in prison so I haven't been in London since last year, May maybe.
36:29It's an argument unlikely to hold water.
36:32I mean the thing is if he's been arrested they'd be doing the checks wouldn't they for DNA?
36:36So it's going to be you?
36:37Yeah, me, because I haven't been...
36:39They're not going to disqualify someone who's not that person because it's all done through DNA.
36:43Alright, but you said I've been disqualified from July this year.
36:47Yeah, from the court.
36:48Impossible.
36:50Oh.
36:52He maintains his brother was disqualified, not him.
36:55But a DNA test at the NIC will settle that.
36:58When we go in, they'll be putting you on the DNA checks anyway.
37:02In the meantime, every cloud has a silver lining.
37:05And on the plus side...
37:06Sorry lads, you're going to have to find another route home, okay?
37:10We're taking the car.
37:12His passengers get to enjoy Northampton South services, complete with Road Chef and WH Smiths.
37:19All I can suggest is in the service area, grab all your bits and bobs and then obviously you can go from there.
37:25And while they hit the shops, it's a blue light taxi to the NIC for the innocent man.
37:33His story was his brother got him disqualified and used his details, which I didn't really believe.
37:39We've gone all the way through the custody process.
37:42As we've gone to charge him, he's walked up to the desk and said, yeah, I'm disqualified.
37:46So, he was telling porkies basically.
37:49And he's got a nice day in court for the morning.
37:51In the morning, Big Brother was further disqualified for eight months for driving whilst disqualified and without insurance.
38:01He won't be joining his brother inside, but he was ordered to pay a hefty total of £782.
38:07Coming up, where the going gets tough, the tough goes shopping.
38:15Into Tesco's.
38:17It's early evening.
38:38And Rob Halfleet's whistling along the 45 in the unmarked BMW.
38:45When a Blue 2 Series BMW hares along the slip road, undertaking cars and taking off.
38:55As Rob gets his toe down to keep it in sight.
39:02A second Beamer passes him like a rocket.
39:08Can I get a vehicle check from you, please?
39:10New boy races past the Blue 2 Series before cutting in front of it and crossing lanes without indicating.
39:20Then, when he finally does hit the anchors, one of his brake lights doesn't work.
39:25Just going to go to your location and then pass a key turn.
39:29It was 45, just getting off at Mirway.
39:33Index is Papa 26.
39:35Try and give it a stop.
39:37It's, I think, having a bit of a race with a 2 Series BMW.
39:41BMW.
39:45He'd be nuts to try racing Rob's BMW.
39:48It's an M340i with an advanced driver at the wheel.
39:51Even so.
39:52That's 70.
39:53That's 70.
39:54That's 70.
39:55That's 70.
39:56That's 70.
39:57That's 70.
39:58That's 70.
39:59That's 70.
40:00That's 70.
40:01Speedy's giving it a good go.
40:02He's now nearly double the limit.
40:08Which he may regret in a hurry too.
40:10Into Tesco's.
40:22Okay.
40:23Into Tesco's and not for the family shop.
40:35So, your starter for 10.
40:36I'm probably going to ask a really silly question.
40:41Yeah.
40:42Because it's a really obvious answer.
40:43Why have I stopped you?
40:44Because I was speeding.
40:45Yeah.
40:46Also, your manner of driving on the 45 before you even got off the 45 was less than ideal.
40:51Yeah.
40:52Okay.
40:53Yeah, yeah.
40:54Is it your car?
40:55It is, yeah.
40:56Okay.
40:57Have you got your driving licence on, yeah?
40:58Yeah, I'll do it.
40:59Cool.
41:00Let's have a look at that for starters.
41:01I was actually looking at that 2 Series comp.
41:02He was driving a bit.
41:03Yeah.
41:04But he'd calmed down coming all the way down the 45 before you then came shooting past
41:08us in that outside lane.
41:09Okay.
41:10Okay?
41:11Yeah.
41:12And then now I can't deal with him because I'm having to deal with you.
41:14Because I can't tell you what speed he did on a 40 mile per hour road.
41:17I can tell you you got up to near 80.
41:19Okay.
41:20Because we were doing a consistent 72 in the run up to those lights.
41:23Okay.
41:24Do you think that's acceptable?
41:25No.
41:26No.
41:27If you were in my boots, what would you do?
41:28Um, well, I'm not too sure to be honest.
41:32You're not too sure?
41:33No, no.
41:34I don't know what, yeah.
41:35Here's a clue.
41:36Okay.
41:37Have you got any points on your licence?
41:38Uh, yes.
41:39I've got three.
41:40I'm going to ask what for.
41:42I can probably guess.
41:44Tyres.
41:45Tyres.
41:46Yeah, I got a random stop and I had one tyre that was just below the limit.
41:51Okay.
41:52I'll give you that.
41:53That wouldn't have been my guess.
41:54My guess would have been speed.
41:55And there's something else Rob's struggling to guess.
41:58Why the choice of only one Recaro seat as well?
42:02The reason why his racing bucket seat doesn't match the passenger one.
42:07I've got to ask.
42:08Or do you prefer comfort rather than a racing seat?
42:11I'm buying a pink one for it.
42:13What?
42:14You're buying a pink one?
42:15I'm not having black.
42:16I wanted blue, but there's not the colour blue I want.
42:19So I'm going to get pink.
42:20I said if she wants a bucket seat, she can go everywhere she wants.
42:24Okay.
42:25Fair enough.
42:26I think it is.
42:27Yeah?
42:28It's not going to be you sitting in it, is it?
42:29I suppose.
42:30Exactly.
42:31Yeah, that's it.
42:32You may not be sitting in the driver's seat either after today.
42:35The problem is, is with the speed and the manner you're driving, I'd like to be able to admire your choice of pink and black bucket seats whilst it's on four wheels, not in a crash upside down or in a ditch or something like that.
42:48You just can't drive like that.
42:49You just can't drive like that.
42:50No, I don't.
42:51Okay.
42:52Where's your front plate gone as well?
42:53It's right behind me.
42:55It literally fell off a couple of days ago.
42:57Right.
42:58Basically, I've been working night shifts for the past three days.
43:01Okay.
43:02So I haven't had a chance to go helpless and get one yet.
43:04Okay.
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 screws fell off.
43:15Okay.
43:16Get some screws.
43:17Get that back on.
43:18I'm not going to worry about that.
43:20What I am going to do, however, is I'm going to report you for careless driving.
43:23Okay.
43:24You just need to chill it out.
43:25Because I'm sure if you were to bring your speed down, you wouldn't be able to nip into those spaces.
43:29You wouldn't cause other car or road users to have to put their brakes on and stuff like that.
43:33Okay.
43:34He's taking the careless driving accusation in his stride.
43:38Makes sense?
43:39Yeah.
43:40Okay.
43:41And seems more worried about his data going on the system.
43:44Um, Chinese have hacked into UK military of defence or something.
43:50I heard.
43:51Chinese have hacked into something.
43:53Government wise of ours.
43:56That is far above my pay grade and far too important for me to worry about.
44:04The bucket seat driver was processed for driving without due care and attention.
44:09He was given a conditional offer and had to attend an educational course.
44:14Unlucky for him, foreign hackers hadn't managed to disable the police system.
44:19Cool.
44:20Appreciate it, mate.
44:21No worries.
44:22Though the only thing that sounds hacked around here is his BMW.
44:26It is.
44:27It is.
44:28It is.
44:29It is.
44:30It is.
44:31It is.
44:32It is.
44:33It is.
44:34It is.
44:35It is.
44:36It is.
44:37It is.
44:38It is.
44:39It is.
44:40It is.
44:41It is.
44:46It is.
