00:00This is Police Interceptors.
00:04Police Interceptors are all I for.
00:06I'm going to tell my kids I'm 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.
00:19Got two out, standby.
00:21I'm out!
00:22And a crack dog unit.
00:24If you leave, you will get hit.
00:27They bring down the bad guys.
00:29I believe you're wanted, 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?
00:48We find them, we lock them up.
00:53Coming up.
00:54Police!
00:55Come to the door with nothing in your hand.
00:58Firearms in suburbia.
01:01Oh, police!
01:02Come to the top of the stairs.
01:03Nothing in your hand.
01:06Wrong side of the roundabout.
01:08A runaway driver.
01:09Vehicle stop, vehicle stop.
01:11Has his bubble burst.
01:13Police!
01:14Stop it now!
01:15And things that go...
01:17In the night.
01:186-1.
01:19Mail's been tased and unsprayed.
01:37Not everyone on the road boasts interceptor driving skills.
01:42Come on, people.
01:43Don't lose your minds.
01:44It's a...
01:45A junction.
01:47But they get there in the end.
01:49There you go.
01:51Perfect harmony.
01:52It's a pitch black Thursday.
01:54Rob and Charlie are on patrol near the A45.
01:57No worries.
01:58If we can start considering seeing the sights.
02:01And the call has come up from the firearms squad who need help stopping a Mitsubishi Outlander.
02:07Let's start going.
02:08Yep.
02:15We're making to Grange Park in Northampton.
02:18ANPR cameras have picked up a vehicle that's got a P&C marker on it.
02:26It's used in what we call occupier fences, which are theft from vans.
02:32So you're up into this subject vehicle, we'll break into vans and steal out the power tools and similar before leaving the county.
02:43The vehicle that they've travelled up in is confirmed as a clone vehicle.
02:48No thefts have been reported tonight, but interceptors want to disrupt any plans to hit vans on their patch.
02:56So you've got roads policing, arm response and dog units making to Grange Park.
03:01Clear left.
03:03So we're going to try and get there as quickly as we can to try and find a suitable stinger site.
03:13Quickly as we can is pretty damn quick in a Beamer 340.
03:17The advantage we have of the car that we're in is that we've got the performance to get to where we need to be.
03:23But it's not about your equipment, it's what you do with it.
03:26And advanced pursuit driver Rob has the minerals to handle the Beamer's 382 horses.
03:34Let's get on the roundabout. That's okay.
03:37And as he gallops towards Grange Park, there's an update on the clone 4x4.
03:42So it's now failing to stop for our armed response colleagues.
03:52The targets failed to stop and firearms have failed to keep up.
03:56Temporary loss, temporary loss.
04:02Rob and Charlie need to reach the area fast, which means copper's privilege at the Reds and no slowing for bumps in the road.
04:09Brace, brace, brace.
04:10Before the bump.
04:12Here it comes.
04:14There it is.
04:161-1, we're just coming 10-6 to the area. Is there anywhere that's still not covered?
04:21We can do without a stinger site on bridge metal to the range of bones.
04:25Cops are flooding the area and laying stingers on potential escape routes to take out the target's tyres.
04:32Yeah, we'll look to go far more now.
04:33But before Rob and Charlie can lay their own stinger, it's all changed.
04:39The Outlander's been found abandoned.
04:42Oh, no.
04:44But a Toyota also potentially linked to thefts has been seen in the area.
04:51My last read, what do you think?
04:54That's the Aventis. What is it?
04:561-1.
04:57No, no, no.
04:59Just go with the plate of that Aventis again.
05:01What's the plate of the Aventis you've got?
05:03They're not sure if they're behind the new target.
05:06Is that coming?
05:08But it's looking increasingly likely.
05:11I don't know, but he's doing 60 and a 30.
05:13He's got a possible Saxon Avenue.
05:1560 and a 30.
05:21Wrong side of the roundabout. Wait.
05:23The driver's failed to stop.
05:26He's now correct side, back round the roundabout. I'll get you a road name.
05:29And he's no idea of the armed response vehicle up ahead.
05:37I'll be on the roundabout. He's coming up to you now.
05:40Or the stinger team in the trees.
05:46Vehicle stung, vehicle stung.
05:47Invisible in the shadows, sting ninjas cast their spikes.
05:54And take out four tyres.
05:57Unfortunately, they're so well hidden.
06:03We're stung as well.
06:05They've stung one of Rob's tyres too.
06:07Get a road name, mate.
06:08Yeah, it's in my channel, all we've got.
06:10But with a perfect strike on the target...
06:14Saxon Avenue, towards the BP garage.
06:17...this chase is as good as over.
06:20Go to them, Lucy. Go to them.
06:22Perfect.
06:25Everybody towards the BP garage.
06:27That's last point of contact.
06:29We still have contact with it. It's wrong side.
06:31I'm standing as well. Wait, wait, wait.
06:32It's bad to decamp. Bad to decamp.
06:33A runner at the passenger door clocks Charlie and thinks again.
06:38Police! Stop it now! Stop it now!
06:41The Toyota is back on the move.
06:46But by the time Charlie sprinted back to the Beamer...
06:49Right, right, right into Wutton.
06:52...four figures have bailed out and legged it.
06:54And they may be armed.
06:56They've got crowbars.
06:58The runners have fled into the woods.
06:59And as Charlie gives chase and the cavalry rolls in...
07:02...every cop and their dog are after them.
07:08Three out. All in black.
07:09All balacarvers.
07:11Across the A45 now.
07:13Police for taser!
07:15It doesn't take long to catch up with one of the men.
07:18Come here. Stand still.
07:20Get here. Get out. Get out. Get on the floor. Get down.
07:22Get on the floor now. Get on the floor.
07:24Get on the floor.
07:26Give me your hands out.
07:27Give me your hands out.
07:29One detained. Three running into the woods.
07:31Mate.
07:33You're under arrest.
07:35Phone is stopped for police at the moment.
07:37I'm not the driver, mate.
07:39I'm going equipped.
07:40I'm going equipped for theft.
07:41Stand up! Stand up!
07:43His blue light taxi awaits.
07:46We're literally going to be less than five minutes.
07:49And they'll need more transport...
07:51...because firearms has just caught a second suspect.
07:54Rob and Bob stopped doing the quits.
07:56Don't have to say anything, but it may harm the defense if you don't mention one question.
08:00So we can take a warning call or anything to do.
08:02How many came in here?
08:03Three, I think.
08:04Oh, it was just one?
08:05Yeah, done, fellas.
08:07You what?
08:08Yeah, done.
08:09Yeah, we've got you, yeah.
08:11There are no signs of the other two runners, but Rob has recovered a potential weapon.
08:16So I imagine as that's been on the floor where they went to get out, it's probably what he's had in his hand.
08:21And any plans the occupants of this car had for the evening have been well and truly disrupted.
08:27We've locked a couple of them up and we're going to have two cars away because the car that they were originally looking for was stolen.
08:33The cloned Outlander abandoned earlier was nicked.
08:37And though the cops can't connect the two in custody with that car, its owner will be glad to have it back.
08:43The bad news is Rob will have to wait to get his car back as well.
08:47Did you get it by a stinger?
08:49Yeah, I did.
08:50It's only front, near side.
08:53The good news is he's catched a lift with the recovery driver.
08:58Oh, sweet.
09:03The cops couldn't prove who was driving the Toyota and no further action was taken against the two men nicked running away, either for going equipped or for driving offences.
09:12However, with a stolen car off the street and no thefts from vans on the interceptor's patch, it was a good evening's work.
09:20Coming up.
09:21Good.
09:22Good.
09:23Good.
09:24Good.
09:25Good.
09:26A potential firearm in the living room.
09:27One firearm located in the front room.
09:28Taser's drawn on a wanted man.
09:29Show me right now on the ground!
09:30Show me right now on the ground!
09:31Show me right!
09:32And Taser fired in a roadside ruck.
09:33Ah!
09:34Ah!
09:35Ah!
09:36Ah!
09:37Early doors on Saturday morning.
09:39Taser's drawn on a wanted man.
09:40Show me right!
09:41Show me right now on the ground!
09:42Show me right!
09:43And Taser fired in a roadside ruck.
09:46Ah!
09:47Ah!
10:02Early doors on Saturday morning.
10:07And interceptors are moving through the county in numbers.
10:10Ah!
10:11Ah!
10:12Ah!
10:13See you to the team, men, if you just stick your body wards on for us, please.
10:16Armed response vehicles are approaching a house of a wanted man.
10:20Who Intel says may have firearms.
10:24Hey, mate.
10:25All good?
10:26Yeah, all good.
10:28The guy they won't fail to attend court uncharges a dealing.
10:31And the firearms squad are pretty pumped to put him away.
10:36Yeah!
10:38But he has a history of violence towards cops.
10:41And given he may have firearms, the team is taking no chances.
10:46White face is on. Can I just confirm them?
10:48Black face is on.
10:49Yep.
10:50They're wearing body armour and packing LMT carbine rifles.
10:55There are no lights on, on the white aspect.
10:59I believe there are lights on, on the black face.
11:02Lights are on, but is anybody home?
11:04Oh, police! Come to the door with nothing in your hands!
11:11Hello, just go back in your house, mate.
11:13Oh, do you not really have to?
11:14Go back in your house.
11:15Sorry.
11:17This is not what the neighbours need at 5am.
11:19Do you want to dress forward with a shield?
11:21Just give it a whack on the back, on the door.
11:26If anyone is inside...
11:33They're not answering.
11:35Put some challenges in, no response from the address.
11:38A light upstairs.
11:41A light upstairs.
11:43Just confirm the light's gone on upstairs, black face.
11:48Contact front door, stand by.
11:51And a figure at the front door.
11:54Shadow gone.
11:57Hand please, show us your hands.
11:59Step out for us, please.
12:00Step out of the front door.
12:02Walk towards us.
12:03Walk towards the back of this car.
12:05Walk towards the back of the car.
12:07Keep walking this way.
12:08This way.
12:09The back of this car.
12:10I'm sorry, I just walked up.
12:11That's fine.
12:12This way.
12:13Walk to the back of the car.
12:15The figure, a woman, is not their suspect.
12:17Hello.
12:18Who's inside the address?
12:20Just me.
12:21I'm sorry.
12:22I just literally just walked up.
12:23No worries.
12:24And the early riser has had quite a shock.
12:27What is going on?
12:28OK.
12:29Have you got a phone here or anything?
12:30Yes.
12:31Can I ask that you just put that phone down and you don't use it for the minute?
12:33All right?
12:34So there's nobody else in your address?
12:35No.
12:36Is he in there?
12:37No.
12:38He's not in there.
12:39No.
12:40Where is he at the minute?
12:41I don't know.
12:42You don't know?
12:43I actually don't know.
12:44I never know where he is.
12:45OK.
12:46Just stay here with him a minute, OK?
12:47And just stay off your phone.
12:48OK?
12:49Definitely no one else in that address?
12:50No.
12:51OK.
12:52They can't take her word for it because the word is their suspect has weapons.
13:01Oh, police.
13:03If you're in the address, come to the front door.
13:07Quiet.
13:08As the grave.
13:11You form up on the door.
13:12I've got the window.
13:13I'm too.
13:14When you're happy then, mate?
13:16What?
13:17Three, four.
13:18Yeah.
13:19You're ready to go.
13:20They're going in.
13:22Open door.
13:23Open door.
13:24Right on me.
13:25The first job, ensure no one's here.
13:27My room.
13:30OK.
13:31OK.
13:32The cupboards ain't going to get any of these cupboards up the washing machine, do you see?
13:35That's fine.
13:36So, right is clear.
13:37My cover ahead of you is minimal, mate, so be aware of that.
13:43No sign of the suspect, but...
13:45Revolving.
13:46Gun.
13:47Gun.
13:48A weapon.
13:51Gun.
13:52Gun.
13:56Looks like a side gate revolver with rounds in it.
13:58It does look like a long-barreled revolver.
14:01One potential firearm.
14:03Which looks to be loaded with some form of rounds.
14:08And a sword.
14:09And a sword.
14:10Or two.
14:12There's a machete under there as well.
14:15With weapons all over the shop and a suspect with a history of violence towards cops, tensions are high.
14:21I'm not convinced he's not here.
14:22No.
14:23OK.
14:24Form up.
14:25We'll take the stairs.
14:28Oh, police!
14:29Come to the top of the stairs.
14:30Nothing in your hands.
14:33No response.
14:34On me.
14:37Brad.
14:38Get over to support.
14:39Yeah, yeah.
14:41My room.
14:42Stay out.
14:47Room is clear.
14:48Out.
14:49My room.
14:51Down my back, because I'm going to open this.
14:56Yeah.
15:01All right?
15:02Yeah.
15:03You're going to have to poke your head in there.
15:04There's nothing obvious.
15:05But you're going to be right in my arc of fire.
15:07I've got a riddle for me.
15:09Yep.
15:10That's clear.
15:11Cool.
15:12There's no one in the main house.
15:13First floor and second floor are clear.
15:15We're just going to get the loft cam.
15:17But leaving no story unturned, they brought a specialist camera to peek in the loft.
15:23You're going to stick it up.
15:24You're going to stick it up.
15:25I'm going to try and get this out.
15:26So he's going to jump into it.
15:27Jump into it.
15:28Jump into it.
15:30Okay.
15:31Point it at an angle slightly.
15:33Perfect.
15:34Start rotating it right.
15:37Keep going.
15:40Clearly remnants of a cannabis.
15:42There are signs of a long dead cannabis grow.
15:45There's loads of bags out there, but I'm happy which, as far as I can see, it's a small loft.
15:50But their wanted, potentially armed man is still at large.
15:54When did you last see him?
15:57I think it was yesterday.
15:58Yesterday?
15:59The day before.
16:00I don't know, to be honest.
16:01And they've no leads.
16:05As night bleeds into day, cops across the county are on the lookout for the wanted man.
16:10You know him, dear?
16:13Yeah.
16:14Lloyd knows him as well.
16:15He's well known to the interceptors.
16:17So we'll see if we can try and find him.
16:20It's just where he's going to be.
16:22Hello, 83.
16:25Go ahead.
16:27Are you able to change onto San Francisco?
16:29But it proves a fruitless search.
16:33So annoying.
16:34Where that woman is there.
16:35Yeah.
16:36That's where it's far away.
16:37It's only as evening shifts begin to hit the streets that better news comes in.
16:47Matt, I'm just up by the church.
16:48I take it it's parked outside the shop, is it?
16:51An Audi attached to their suspect has been seen parked up in the north of the county.
16:56Yeah, it's parked outside the Morrison.
16:58Morrison's daily.
16:59Roger.
17:00Bertie, where are you?
17:02We're just parked.
17:03We're just parked.
17:05Cloud, close.
17:07Okay.
17:09Three cop cars are keeping the parked Audi under ops.
17:12We're just waiting to see whether he's still using the vehicle or not.
17:16The male's known to us.
17:17He's previously been quite violent towards police.
17:21So we'll probably be looking to put some robust tactics in place to ensure he's safe at rest.
17:28But after a long wait with plenty of time to muse on life, love and the universe.
17:33I often wonder what happens to animals when they die.
17:36There's no sign of their elusive target.
17:39I think we're going to leave this car in Rothwell for now.
17:44It's a question of resources.
17:46Three units could be doing something potentially more useful than watching a stationary car,
17:51on the off chance someone returns to it.
17:57Which they just have.
17:59The Audi's on the move.
18:03And so is Tony.
18:07Before joining the force, TP worked a ride at a local theme park.
18:11So he's used to the ups and downs of a rollercoaster shift.
18:16What were you saying?
18:17We didn't try and ID him first or...
18:19Just going to put a stop in.
18:22Two miles ahead of Tony, an unmarked car is tracking the Audi.
18:26But no one knows if the wanted man connected with a potential firearm is at the wheel.
18:31We're going to try and ID the driver before we decide on what kind of tactics he's going to put in.
18:35Obviously, if it's not our subject, then we'll let it ride for another day.
18:39If we can get a positive ID, then we'll probably look to put some kind of tactics in.
18:45In convoy with a fellow marked unit, Tony hangs back.
18:48Guided by comms from the lead car ahead.
18:49Not two, not two.
18:50Not three, not three.
18:51Six, six, six, six, four, six, four.
18:52He's probably going to be aware of us by now.
18:53So we've got two of them are cars behind him now.
18:55Um, so we'll see.
18:57Up ahead, the target car's taking a strange route.
18:59It's not long, but it's right, right, right.
19:01It's Glead Road.
19:02Let's get a lot longer.
19:03Yeah, it's not long.
19:04It's right, right, right.
19:05It's Glead Road.
19:09They're definitely testing them.
19:24And in the lead unmarked...
19:26I think he can be aware of us mate.
19:28They decide to light the Audi up and gamble that their wanted man is inside
19:40Box on but is this their man and is he old?
19:50It's him and he's run for it. There are too many cops for an escape
19:58But he's not giving up without a fight
20:28Given the swords machete and potentially live firearm at his house
20:37That's a threat they take seriously
20:39He's saying he's got older something. What have you got on you chap?
20:42Why did you say you don't want to see what you've got?
20:46He's pretty wound up deep breath calm down. Yeah, and not coming quietly
20:51I'm trying to stop with the race
21:14While they wait for transport to the Nick Tony leads the search of the suspect and his car
21:19Which turns up a large amount of cash and
21:23There's a pot of white powder in a bag that we had as well
21:27So a pot of white powder
21:29Where is that then?
21:31Where is it? Where was it? What are you on about? I haven't got anything
21:33Where was that found? What are you on about? What powder?
21:36In the car mate
21:37Where?
21:38I haven't got any powder. That's not mine
21:41This pot that's just full of white powder it could well be just baking soda
21:47Baking soda, but
21:49Is it okay? Yeah
21:51This is all the pot for God's sake. I know that
21:53What you been doing some baking? Yeah, actually
21:56He claims it's baking soda, but Tony won't take his word for that
22:00I've got a t-shirt that says awesome. It doesn't mean I am though
22:03Don't do yourself down TP
22:05You've done an awesome search
22:08Down by the driver's
22:10Uh driver's seat. We found this locking knife incredibly dangerous
22:14There's a blade to go with the baking soda, but it doesn't look like one you'd cut a victorious sponge with
22:20Looks like there's some remnants of white powder on the blade as well, which probably tells its own story
22:23Incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands
22:26Whatever his motive was. It's an illegal per se. He shouldn't have had it. So he's got some questions to answer
22:31And he still does
22:33No further action was taken regarding guns found at his address which turned out not to be viable firearms
22:41After pleading guilty to drug driving he was banned from the roads for 14 months and find 120 pounds
22:50He's under investigation for possession of a bladed article
22:53He may also have to answer for the powder which is currently at the lab to confirm tests in the field which suggested it's cocaine
23:01I'll see you in the back mate. Yes. All right. All right. Can we sit the door up? Just I'm sweating. Look, that's all
23:07Oh, the aircon's on mate
23:11Coming up when two become one nothing can tear them apart
23:15It's got no traction
23:17Flippin' heck
23:19A disc walled driver doesn't learn his lesson
23:22You're really gonna struggle to get your license back after this one and a very near miss
23:28Shit sets bomber off
23:31Bloody hell
23:33Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow
23:48A typical year sees more than 40,000 people convicted for drink or drug driving in the UK
23:54And you're currently under arrest on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol
24:00And interceptors block of all sorts will get you down to custody the quiet ones
24:07Right
24:08Could you've been involved in a collision? I'll put you on a breath test and a drug test as well just to make sure that's all fine
24:13The wired ones
24:15That shows that it's testing positive for cocaine
24:21And the totally vile ones
24:24Oh my god
24:26I hate being spat at
24:33Some of them are completely hands up, I've been caught
24:38Um, no arguments
24:40And then there's the others that are aggressive
24:43And argumentative
24:45Um
24:47But
24:48Over the years you kind of develop a
24:51A way of dealing with these people
24:53Even small amounts of alcohol impair judgment
25:04Which is bad news if you're sharing the road with a drink driver
25:07Well good news if you're trying to spot one
25:18Lightly invested in this red one
25:21It's almost four in the morning
25:23But the driver of the rave mobile that just passed Callum and Stuart doesn't believe in quiet time
25:30I've got some tunes on
25:33I've got some tunes on
25:41The cars only insured to a woman
25:43That's a bone if he stopped at the red line
25:46I don't even see it, it's so bloody dark
25:52And given the cops are in the unmarked
25:57It's unlikely Mrs Raven knows she's being followed
26:04We'll have a chat
26:06She does now
26:08And as the mobile boombox pulls up
26:10It's time to see what she has to say for herself
26:22Hi there, you all right?
26:23Hi there, you all right?
26:24Yeah, good, thank you
26:25Whatever ravey lady's saying
26:27She's saying it somewhere else
26:28Because she's certainly not at the wheel
26:30How can I do?
26:31Yeah, good
26:32Good
26:33Just routine traffic stop
26:34Yes
26:35The only reason why we're questioning it
26:37Is when we've run your car through
26:38Yes
26:39Come back on the insurance
26:41Yes, after my mother
26:44Your mother?
26:45Yeah
26:46Have you got insurance?
26:47Not gonna lie, I have not
26:48You haven't?
26:49No
26:50Why are you driving then?
26:51Yeah, stupid reason
26:53Well, it's stupid for driving
26:55Not gonna lie to you
26:56Yeah
26:57You can't fault the lad's honesty
26:59You got your driving licence on you?
27:02I've not
27:03I've got a provisional
27:04You've got a provisional?
27:05Yes
27:06I'm not gonna lie to you
27:08He's fessed up to two offences in under 20 seconds
27:11And Stuart reckons there could be a third
27:14Have you taken anything tonight?
27:16Because your eyes are like spaced
27:19No
27:20Stick on a drug test, mate
27:21Okay
27:22You got your keys?
27:24Yeah
27:25His eyes look ripe for raving
27:26And he really isn't with it
27:28So if you just stick your tongue out for me, bud
27:30And his tongue control isn't up to much either
27:32All the way
27:35Just leave it out
27:36Don't curl it at the end
27:37It's weird
27:39All the way out
27:40But don't curl it
27:41That's it
27:42After a meandering gathering of saliva
27:46And a short wait
27:48The driver miraculously passes the drug wipe
27:51He's passed the drugs test
27:53But Callum is convinced he's under the influence of something
27:56Have you drank anything in the last 20 minutes?
27:58I had a bottle of Moretti, but that's it
28:02How long ago?
28:04Half hour ago
28:05How big a bottle are we talking?
28:07I don't know what size to be 30 mil
28:10One small bottle of beer shouldn't put him over the drink drive limit
28:14Okay
28:15No problem
28:16Go for it
28:17Which is 35 on a breathalyser
28:25Yeah, so you've failed
28:26Okay
28:27So
28:28At this time
28:29It's 0352
28:31Currently under arrest
28:32For driving
28:33A motor vehicle on a road
28:35Whilst over the prescribed limit
28:36For driving with a provisional driving licence
28:39And driving with no insurance
28:41Okay?
28:43DJ Moretti has blown 57
28:45More than one and a half times the legal limit
28:48And the hits just keep on coming
28:50Nathan
28:51Yes mate
28:52So you're disqualified from driving
28:54So you're further under arrest
28:56For driving whilst disqualified
28:58Okay?
28:59You're still under caution
29:02You're really going to struggle
29:03To get your licence back after this one
29:06He's been busted for driving without a licence before
29:08And clearly didn't learn his lesson
29:13Yeah? In that Volvo?
29:14In the Volvo
29:15Yeah?
29:16Come for you
29:17So he's off for a night of luxury
29:18At the Northampton Hilton
29:20Jump in there for me
29:21No problem
29:22And then pull your seatbelt on for us
29:24No problem
29:25While Stuart chaperones the drink driver to face the music
29:30Callum sees the rowdy Audi
29:32That gave him away safely onto the recovery truck
29:39The lad's sorry evening went from bad to worse
29:41When in custody he blew even higher
29:44Hitting 66 on the evidential breath machine
29:47Raver pleaded guilty to drink driving
29:50And driving without a licence or insurance
29:53He was given a community order
29:55Ordered to pay £200 in fines
29:57And was banned for a further 20 months
30:00Anything but music to his ears
30:07Intoxicated drivers don't come more compliant than Callum's music lover
30:11And the law of averages says the next one will be very different
30:18Just getting a report of an RCC
30:20Are you able to pop down for us?
30:25Yes, yes, more than a second
30:28A 999 call reports a driver sitting in his car after an alleged crash
30:32The caller suspects he's under the influence
30:39Callum's trained in taser, public order and riot van response
30:43But he still prefers to be double crewed for potential drink or drug drivers
30:47And as he and wingman Tom braved the rain
30:58It's clear this isn't a night to be short-handed
31:01The car's almost in the live lane of the A45
31:04And the visibility is shocking
31:09You alright?
31:10Yeah
31:11You sure?
31:12Yeah, I'm sure
31:13Where are you going?
31:14He's trying to run
31:15Stay there
31:16Stay there
31:17Stay there
31:18And he's run straight into Tom
31:19Please stop for the taser
31:20Stay where you are
31:22They're wrestling by a main road
31:23And Callum has to act fast
31:25Tom go off, Tom go off
31:27Stay where you are
31:31The driver's been hit with 50,000 bolts
31:34Give me your hands
31:35Give me your hands, relax
31:36But he's still struggling
31:37Get me cuffs, get me cuffs
31:39Takes another shot from the taser
31:42Relax
31:43Let go
31:45Give me your hands now
31:46Give me your hands now
31:47A third hit of the taser still hasn't stopped him
31:51And they need options
31:53Tom if you need to just spray him mate
31:54I don't want to keep zapping him
31:55They can't let him struggle so close to live traffic
31:57So Tom unloads a can of Parva spray in his face
32:01Put your hands out now
32:03Put your hands out now
32:046-1
32:05Mail's been tasered and sprayed
32:06Can we get another unit please?
32:08But incredibly
32:09Give me your hand now
32:10He's still not compliant
32:12Tom I'm going to come in with you mate
32:13Yeah
32:14Holstering his taser
32:15Callum doubles the manpower
32:16I've got one cuff on
32:18Just can't get this hand on
32:19And after a titanic three man struggle
32:22Give me your hand now
32:24They use a second pair of cuffs
32:27Let me get my cuffs out
32:30Link the pairs together
32:33And he's detained
32:36Finally storing cuffs
32:38Well over on your side
32:40Where's his probes gone?
32:42Callum needs to retrieve the probes of his taser
32:45Which has never seen so much action
32:47Right you're under arrest on suspicion of driving whilst unfit through drink or drugs alright?
32:51Most importantly no one was bundled into oncoming traffic
32:54And no one is seriously injured
32:57Yeah I'm good mate
32:58You alright?
32:59Yeah yeah
33:00But the driver won't forget this in a hurry
33:02You've been tasered okay?
33:06So you might feel a little bit dizzy
33:09Okay but just relax and we'll look after you alright?
33:12A taser generally incapacitates someone instantly
33:15The hits he took suggest he may be under the influence of something
33:20It's wired
33:21Yeah yeah literally
33:22It's off his face isn't it?
33:24I need a drink please
33:25Well I can't get you a drink at the moment can you?
33:27Just stop struggling and relax alright?
33:29Just get me a drink
33:30He is still struggling on the floor
33:31Get me a drink
33:32He's apparently got a Ribena on the front seat
33:34I need a drink
33:35I need a drink
33:36You're not having a drink at the moment because we're in the middle of the A45
33:40Ah please the Ribena
33:43I need a drink
33:44I need a drink
33:45Not at the moment
33:46Not at the moment
33:50The live wire who legged it by the live lane was convicted of assaulting a cop and driving under the influence of drugs after his bloods came back positive for cocaine
34:02Should have stuck to his Ribena
34:04Coming up none of the cars are going to be drivable but one of them is certainly significantly damaged
34:15Seconds from disaster
34:17Where were you literally walking down to get into it?
34:22And is this the work of the town dog snatcher?
34:25Someone's just coming to my back garden
34:28Okay
34:29Stolen on my dog
34:42Obviously this direction impacted with the rear off side of this vehicle
34:47You might think in a parked car or on your own driveway you'd be safe from other motorists
34:54You'd be wrong
34:55I wasn't going that fast at all
35:00People do mount kerbs
35:01We've had it where people have ploughed into groups of children
35:09We had one very recently
35:11Where four school kids were knocked over
35:15And that was because they were driving recklessly
35:20People make split second but stupid decisions
35:28It's a wet winter night
35:30Bomber and Rob are blue lighting to the possible location of a stolen car
35:35The chap owns the car
35:36He's got the set of keys but he thinks he may have left a set of keys in the backpack inside it
35:45The hot motor has been spotted on the other side of town
35:48And Bomber is doing his best to navigate treacherous conditions at a sensible speed
35:53And to make things even more treacherous
35:56And to make things even more treacherous
35:58A driver is panicked at approaching blue lights
36:00And stopped dead in the middle of the carriageway
36:03Shit!
36:05Christ almighty!
36:06Why didn't he...
36:10You need the almighty on your side on a night like this
36:13Even if you are an advanced driver and a TPAC specialist like Bomber
36:16I mean it just completely stopped
36:20And as they swap a wet dual carriageway for slippery roads on the outskirts
36:25It seems not every driver has the Lord on their side
36:29What?
36:33The stolen car will have to wait
36:36Romeo Papa 6-4
36:38You jump down mate
36:41Yeah
36:44We've just come across
36:46Some sort of RTC
36:49Because Bomber and Rob have stumbled on the scene of a major crash
36:53First of all, was anyone injured?
36:55And it looks like the van driver who just ploughed into a parked car
36:59So he was the only actual person involved in it?
37:01Has done one
37:03Did you actually see him or interact with the blokes?
37:05No, no
37:06Right, okay
37:07The shunt caused by the initial impact has damaged two more cars
37:11None of the cars are going to be drivable
37:13But one of them is certainly significantly damaged
37:17And its owners were seconds away from disaster
37:20Where were you?
37:22Literally walking down to get into it
37:26They were about to climb aboard and witness the whole thing
37:30This van's coming down
37:32When there was feeding
37:33Yeah, yeah
37:34There was this tremendous van was there and it spun round
37:36Yeah
37:37Well luckily you weren't in it
37:39It looks like God was smiling on them tonight
37:41Where did you be?
37:43And there may be a good reason why
37:45Just being at the church
37:47The gentleman is actually a man of the cloth
37:50And the reverend owes the man upstairs a thank you in tonight's prayers
37:54Yeah, it's just fortunate we weren't in it at the time
37:57Yeah
37:58But it's going to take almighty forgiveness to absolve the man from the van
38:02Who was far from Christian and bailed
38:04Drive, got out and walked off
38:06And he was just gone, wasn't he?
38:07Yeah, just gone, like, just like that
38:09Just had
38:11A surge of the crumpled van offers up some clues as to why he went just like that
38:15It stinks
38:17There's cans and weed deal bags and all sorts in there
38:21There are empty tinnies in the cab
38:23Plus some empty deal bags marked with cannabis leaves
38:26I suspect though we were probably intoxicated in some way
38:29Right
38:30Which is why they've legged it
38:32So, and what normally happens is we'll go round, knock on the door, we won't get a reply
38:37And then two or three hours later they'll report it stolen
38:40So
38:42But we know what happened
38:45The van's registered owner can expect a visit from the interceptors very soon
38:50They'll probably drag that straight on and that one they'll drag on as well
38:53In the meantime
38:57There's the little matter of clearing the mess he left behind
39:01You're making no progress here mate
39:03Which is proving easier said than done for the recovery guy
39:06It's literally embedded into it
39:09The impact of the shunt has fused two cars into one
39:13I might just move back a bit
39:15And the star-crossed hatchbacks don't want to let go
39:22They can't go on the truck in one piece
39:24So, with the copper in one car and recovery guy in another
39:28Hold tight
39:30They try again to part the inseparable
39:32It's got no traction
39:35Flippin' heck
39:37In the end a bit of brute force
39:39Bit of pressure from the front
39:42Oh, that's got it
39:46Oh, that's got it
39:51That looks like he might have it
39:53And
39:54There you go
39:55The embrace is broken
39:59As are the tragic hatchbacks
40:01It's pretty clear now that the vanishing van man
40:04Has managed to write off three cars
40:06Here we are
40:08Expert driving for you
40:10The cops caught up with the van's registered owner
40:13Who confessed that he was indeed the expert driver
40:16Who ploughed into the parked cars
40:19No action was taken regarding allegations of drug or drink driving
40:23But van man was found guilty of failing to stop at an accident
40:27And received a six-month driving ban
40:29And ordered to pay £540 in fines
40:33God willing, he'll learn his lesson
40:36Nice evening turning to a terrible one, I suppose
40:39Could be worse
40:43Was he a reverend, was he?
40:44Yeah, he was
40:57It's Saturday
41:00And Rob and Charlie are together again
41:03We're crewed together a little bit
41:06We like to have a laugh
41:07Which I think has then
41:09Meant that we've managed to get the nickname of the Chuckle Brothers
41:13I don't mind it to be fair
41:15Do you mind it?
41:16No
41:18This afternoon the Chuckle Brothers are patrolling an estate
41:22And discussing horticulture
41:24How big's the garden?
41:26Decent
41:27Is it bigger than the one you've got now?
41:28Yeah
41:29When they spot a distraught figure
41:30Do you reckon he's coming?
41:31Oh he is, he's waved
41:33Hello
41:36Someone's just come into my back garden
41:39Okay
41:40Stolen my dog
41:41Dog thefts have skyrocketed in recent years
41:43With some of the most commonly stolen breeds
41:45Being bulldogs, chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers
41:49What's the dog look like?
41:50It's a black Yorkshire Terrier
41:51Just about that
41:52Hang on a black Yorkshire Terrier
41:53Yeah
41:54Small enough to carry
41:55Yeah
41:57This is where a copper's observational superpowers kick in
42:02Because Rob and Charlie remember seeing a couple carrying a small dog
42:06On the opposite side of the estate
42:11Phone nines and tell us
42:13Leaving the anxious owner to phone 999, Charlie gets his foot down
42:20Where are they going to have gone?
42:22Where are they going to have gone?
42:23Don't know
42:25Rob needs to circulate a description of the missing pet
42:27One one, can you hear me?
42:28One one, can you hear me?
42:29But before he can
42:30There they are, there's those two
42:34They pass a couple with a dog
42:35And double back via the roundabout to investigate
42:39One one, we're opposite the race course
42:42A member of public has flagged us down
42:43Because they said they've just had someone jump in their back garden
42:46And steal their dog
42:48Of which they've given a description that
42:49We thought walked past us on the way in
42:53Erm, I've told them to phone because we've gone on an area search
42:56But I think we might be with them
43:01Hello
43:03But this pair didn't swipe the dog
43:06We found him!
43:07Where?
43:08Just down the road
43:10They found him in the road
43:11And are trying to return him to the address on his collar
43:14Oh, bless
43:15What is that?
43:16If that's okay
43:17Was it just down the road you said?
43:18Yeah
43:19I was going to say, I think we've probably just come to him
43:21Because we were round the back
43:22Hello
43:23The owner's front door is all the way on this side of the estate
43:27But he didn't answer because he was out back with the cops
43:30I think that's probably because he was just out back having a chat with us
43:34And he's worried sick
43:35Very cute and soft
43:37I'm nervous
43:38Yeah
43:39I know, we'll get you home in a second
43:41Luckily it isn't far to travel for a reunion
43:44Did they ring because they lost their dog?
43:45We were just driving round there and he flagged us down
43:49And this time the dog's owner answers his front door
43:52The dog was running in the road so they've picked him up
43:55My God
43:57How's that for doggy detective work?
43:59I think that's what you call right place, right time
44:02All's well that ends well really, isn't it?
44:05Yeah
44:06Short but sweet
44:07Short but sweet
44:08The gate, just like the dog
44:09Flown open
44:10Oh, the gate had flown open
44:11No one's quite taken his dog
44:13But that's probably the first thing that runs in your head, isn't it?
44:16When your dog's suddenly gone from the garden
44:19Faulty gate
44:20Luckily
44:21We remember seeing a doggy
44:22Quick turnaround
44:23Exactly
44:24Didn't even have to say any words to anyone
44:26Handcuff anyone
44:27Nothing
44:28No
44:29And the dog's been returned
44:30Let's go and tell off that goal for his plate
44:32Oh, okie dokie
44:34Let's go and tell a goal off
44:35Why am I coming this side?
44:36Get away from my door
44:37Sorry
44:38It's Paul and Barry chuckle in the flesh
44:40Sorry Barry
