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're one in the moment.
00:32Keep the streets safe.
00:35He won't put your arms behind him.
00:37Get on the floor.
00:39And battle 24-7.
00:41Get down on the floor.
00:43In the war on crime.
00:45Crash, crash.
00:47On the floor now.
00:48This is what it is, isn't it?
00:49We find them, we lock them up.
00:53Coming up.
00:54The interceptors battle road tax rage.
00:57Get on the floor.
01:00Get back!
01:01Get back!
01:02Get back!
01:03This is going to fail to stop.
01:05Service station thieves are caught in the act.
01:08There's parcels falling out of the back of the vehicle.
01:11And...
01:12There it is.
01:13The mystery of the vanishing van driver.
01:16He's parked it very interestingly.
01:19There were over 40,000 assaults on police officers in England and Wales last year.
01:40Situations the interceptors face can change in a heartbeat.
01:47Dan and co-pilot Catalin from the neighbourhood policing team are on their way to a routine check on a motor.
01:53I received a call a few days ago that there's an untaxed vehicle parked on the road.
02:00If the vehicle's here that's untaxed, that'll be seized.
02:04Because I believe the tax hasn't been paid on it for over a year now.
02:10That's the vehicle there.
02:12One untaxed Nissan Navara exactly where they expect it to be.
02:22To try to find the owner, Catalin does some digging on the number plate.
02:27There's no insurance on it.
02:29MOT will aspire in 2024.
02:33And it has no tax since 2022.
02:35There's no insurance on it either?
02:36No.
02:39I mean, to be fair mate, it might have just been dumped here or something.
02:41Yeah.
02:42A solid theory.
02:44Until a woman says she's spoken to the owner of the pickup truck.
02:48Can he come here without, because I don't want to take his car away.
02:51Because he has no, no, no tax on it.
02:54He has traders.
02:56Yeah, you can't have traders mate on, on, you need to have a number on it
03:00for me to check that he's paying tax.
03:03Which I don't, I can't verify, he's paying tax.
03:06Yeah.
03:07Yeah.
03:08It's a clear cut job.
03:09Without any proof of tax or traders insurance, the pickup truck can be seized.
03:15Hello, can I arrange, please, a vehicle recovery, no tax.
03:20However, the news isn't going down well with the residents.
03:25Standing in here like you're the man.
03:26No.
03:27You're a stick mate.
03:28Absolutely smoky with your uniform, I promise you I would.
03:32Or the untaxed motor's owner, who's just rolling up.
03:35Okay.
03:37You're taking what?
03:38You're taking what?
03:39You won't take nothing mate.
03:40Okay.
03:41You won't take nothing mate, I'm a trader.
03:42Okay.
03:43I promise you you won't take nothing mate.
03:45Is that your car, is it?
03:46There's nothing you can do mate.
03:47It doesn't look like a calm chat is on the cards.
03:49And the interceptors are outnumbered.
03:50Can we have another wind unit here, please?
03:52What do you mean can you have another unit?
03:53Get away from my vehicles mate.
03:55I am a trader.
03:56There's nothing you can do.
03:57Yeah.
03:58Show me that.
03:59Mate, stay back.
04:00Stay back.
04:01Don't touch me brother mate.
04:02Yeah.
04:03I promise you.
04:04Is this your vehicle?
04:05Listen, don't think you're a hero because you're not.
04:06Listen to me, is this your vehicle?
04:07I am sick of you because you're tramps mate.
04:09That's all you are.
04:10Okay.
04:11Want to come around and just try to think you can just take anything you want.
04:12Okay.
04:13You won't mate.
04:14It's been untaxed.
04:15It's been untaxed over a year.
04:16I've just bought it.
04:17I'm a trader.
04:18I get to drive with no tax for two weeks if I really want to.
04:20No.
04:21There you go.
04:22Mate, you don't know.
04:23I'm a trader.
04:24Okay.
04:25Show me that trader.
04:26Yes.
04:27I'll show you my trader's policy now.
04:28Get me this key for this thing now.
04:30Just calm down, buddy.
04:31Calm down.
04:32Move.
04:33Get out of my way.
04:34No.
04:35I'm not going to move.
04:36There's nothing you can do.
04:37There's nothing you can do.
04:38I can do.
04:39You're not getting in there.
04:40Take this stupid thing off mate and I guarantee you couldn't do one thing.
04:41Okay.
04:42I promise you you couldn't.
04:44Before long, the irate owner's name calling.
04:47Yeah, sure.
04:48I'm going to show you my policy.
04:49Don't you think you moron.
04:51Escalates.
04:52You think you're a hero because you've got this stupid thing on, brother.
04:55Take this off.
04:56I'll break your head.
04:57That's about that.
04:58We don't think we're heroes.
04:59You couldn't, mate.
05:00I promise you.
05:01We're just doing our job.
05:02Mine.
05:03Mine.
05:04See?
05:05Mine.
05:06Now move.
05:07It's a standoff.
05:08Mate, I'm telling you, you're not getting into that.
05:09I'm telling you.
05:10Catalin tries again to reason with the owner.
05:11Show me that you're a trader.
05:13Okay.
05:14And you can prove to me that you can drive this without a tax.
05:17Yeah, okay.
05:18And I'm not taking it.
05:19I'll show you what.
05:20Yeah.
05:21There you go.
05:22That's all we want to see.
05:23Yeah.
05:24Pass your phone.
05:25The owner phones his dad and asks him to bring proof of a trader's policy.
05:29Is he, can he get the policy?
05:31Yeah.
05:32Okay.
05:33Well, if he can get the policy, we'll just wait.
05:35But the pause in hostility doesn't last long.
05:38Where are you from?
05:39My detail is this.
05:40This.
05:41Do not like brassism.
05:42I guarantee if you turn back into your own country in that uniform, they'd probably be
05:45edger.
05:46Okay.
05:47That's probably what they would do to you.
05:48A simple seizure of an untaxed motor is taking a sinister turn.
05:51If you want to.
05:52Dad, please, can you just get this paperwork?
05:54This fat knob's pissing me off.
05:56Fortunately, the cavalry are arriving.
05:59Yeah?
06:00Let me find out what's going on.
06:01You're saying chill, but it's, don't do that.
06:04Come on, don't do that.
06:05Along with a recovery truck ready to lift the untaxed Navara.
06:09Literally two minutes and then I'll let you know.
06:12However, they are closely followed by another truck driver.
06:17Who's seen red?
06:22What do you want?
06:27What's the need for that?
06:28What?
06:29What's the need for that?
06:30Blocking the road.
06:31I know, because we're dealing with an incident here.
06:33So am I.
06:35Idiot.
06:40The raging driver is pushing ahead.
06:45Forcing recovery further down the road.
06:48What are you looking at?
06:51Right, you chill out.
06:52Because otherwise you'll get yourself locked up for public order.
06:54Move.
06:55You move.
06:56And stop swearing.
06:57Go on, go.
07:00Oh my days.
07:03You're lucky.
07:04You need to go somewhere.
07:05Go.
07:06I can't go before I did anything.
07:07Sounds familiar, because he's the untaxed motor owner's father.
07:12Yeah.
07:13And he's about to kick off.
07:17Stop!
07:18Stop!
07:19Stop!
07:21Stop!
07:22Hey!
07:23Hey.
07:24You taken what?
07:25You taken what?
07:26You taken nothing mate?
07:27In Northampton, Dan and Catalin's simple inquiry into an untaxed Nissan Navara is going from naught to a hundred.
07:37Navara is going from nought to a hundred I'm gonna show you my policy don't you
07:41think you're all right first the owner turned up making threats take this off
07:46I'll break your head
07:50and now his dad has arrived and he is even more volatile
07:57move the car can you get away please can you get out of the way for us please
08:12the other way you don't want to get yourself hurt an officer tries to
08:16defuse the situation but the families hit boiling point the whole team rush to
08:27assist and Katalin is forced to pull the parva spray
08:34get on the floor even with a full face of parva dad is still resisting more people
08:53are gathering and the aggressive Sun isn't backing down the Sarge draws his
09:07taser
09:13the prospect of 50,000 volts does the job whilst getting the dad in cuffs the Sun
09:23flees in his golf
09:24yeah you made off
09:29you made off
09:30driven off
09:32driven off
09:33we're gonna lift
09:37trucks gone
09:38during the altercation someone's also driven off in the untaxed Navara
09:44the simple seizure of an untaxed motor has escalated to cops on the lookout for one
10:05man as well as both of his cars and his father father being nicked for public order
10:12yeah there's times like this you realize how much you can rely on your colleagues to come and assist
10:21the team wastes no time in getting back on the road to find the Sun on the run
10:26sometimes you know you can meet someone who's really angry but if you talk to them in the right
10:32way some people respond better to that you know that's works most of the time luckily
10:36but it's the people who can't de-escalate and we may need to resort to using PPE like Katalin did today with the parva spray
10:44sometimes we have to you know use force which is portion to be able to get a situation under control
10:48to make sure that we don't get injured and members of the public don't get injured either
10:55within the hour there's some search success
11:00they found the golf
11:04another unit finds the Sun's white golf unattended and they seize it
11:09if he wants to get his car back he's gonna need to present himself to get that so
11:13at some point he's gonna
11:15his luck's gonna run out unfortunately
11:18and he'll have to answer what he thought he's done
11:26interceptors also picked up the untaxed Navara that afternoon
11:32the owner's look ran out when he was arrested the following day
11:35he pleaded not guilty to assaulting and obstructing the police
11:38but guilty to using threatening words and behaviour
11:41he was ordered to pay 141 pounds in fines
11:46after some time in the cells no further action was taken against the father for public order
11:52some of the country's main arterial routes such as the M1 and the A14 run through Northamptonshire
12:11and these roads are often hit hard by travelling crime gangs committing curtain side thefts from lorries
12:17what you'll tend to get is a spotter vehicle which will go into the service areas
12:23cut the curtain fabric of the lorries and then if it's worth taking
12:27they will normally call forward a carrier vehicle
12:30and the team will then go about emptying the contact in the back of the curtain side into their vehicle
12:38it can be quite a difficult crime to detect because a lot of times the lorry drivers are asleep so don't hear it
12:47it's a big problem but I think we do quite a good job at trying to prevent it and also pursue it as well
12:56to crack down on the country's 66 million pound cargo crime problem there's a national police operation
13:07up barrack
13:09tonight dog handler Lucy and canine crime fighter Bryn are on barrack duty looking to catch the thieves red-handed
13:18we'll just be checking service stations lorry lay-bys lorry parks anywhere really where suspects could park up
13:33and try and steal loads from the back of HDVs it's just a little bit of luck and a little bit of looking in the right place
13:43the right place tonight is a service station off the A14
13:52Lucy spots a van parked up next to a lorry
13:57and the driver isn't sticking around
14:03a vehicle check please
14:06loaded with loot tail lifts still down
14:09I think we've just come across a barrack in progress
14:13this is going to fail to stop
14:15Lucy has caught curtain side thieves in the act
14:19we're now a 605 north
14:22it is failing to stop
14:24it's a hasty getaway with a van load of stolen goods
14:28if the driver can keep hold of them
14:30there's parcels falling out of the back of the vehicle
14:40we're now into Thrapston
14:43I think there was some other people in the hedge line
14:46there was torches flashing in the hedge line
14:49it's likely the crime gang had to spot a car as well as this van
14:53unluckily for the van driver
14:56it's him Lucy got a glimpse of
14:58from what I could see of the driver
15:01it was a fairly well built male wearing like a light coloured grey jumper
15:07still into Thrapston village speed 27 low risk
15:11as pursuits go it's strangely slow and steady
15:14he was panicking isn't he? he didn't know what to do
15:17perhaps the thieves don't want to risk losing any more loot
15:22left left
15:25speed 2-3
15:27or perhaps they're looking for somewhere to bail out
15:30as the passenger side opens one is out and running
15:37it's touch and go
15:42he's still going isn't he?
15:43I've had one bail out on Thrap, stand by
15:48but the van comes to a stop
15:51running now would not be a wise move
15:55stay there
15:58there's another suspect also in the passenger seat
16:02I've got one detained, one's run off
16:05I need officers to me
16:07put your handbrake on mate, put the handbrake on
16:09put the handbrake on
16:10right we'll put it in gear then
16:13no it's not, it's rolling mate
16:16too late
16:18it's rolled backwards into my car
16:21but a prank to the Skoda is a small price to pay for bagging a suspected thief
16:27this male is compliant
16:29he was the driver for certain
16:31although he's now sitting in the passenger seat
16:33Bryn's bark may have stopped one suspect from running
16:37just so we've covered the legal side
16:39at the minute you're under arrest for failing to stop
16:42alright?
16:43but with another unit on scene to deal with the driver
16:46Bryn and Lucy turn their attention to looking for his accomplice
16:50wait a minute
16:52wait a minute
16:58dream team Lucy and five year old German shepherd Bryn
17:01once tracked three armed robbers who'd taken a car at gunpoint
17:05yes yes I've got like an office block to my left
17:09we're tracking up towards the car park
17:11and this evening Bryn's finely tuned sense of smell
17:14once ever where I am the dog's indicating over the fence
17:18to some back gardens
17:20he's catching a whiff of curtain sight thief
17:23he's definitely gone this way but it's a spiked fence
17:28finding a way into the garden on the other side
17:32where is he then?
17:34Bryn is drawn to a shed which has been left wide open
17:37they've been in there haven't they?
17:43hands locked
17:45I think he's gone back because he was all in that garden
17:48it looks like the thief could be on the move
17:57taking a left down another alleyway
17:59tracking quite strongly now
18:02the canine cop has a solid lead
18:05so we're tracking down the hill
18:07until all of a sudden the track goes cold
18:15this is a pick up point
18:18100%
18:20tried him in all four directions and he's just nothing
18:23he came flying down here as well
18:25despite Bryn's best efforts Lucy suspects the runner has been picked up by other gang members in the spotter car
18:31he's worked his nuts off bless him he's done really well
18:36good lad
18:38good boy
18:39yes he is
18:41he's a good lad
18:43what's the best way back from here?
18:45back at the scene cops have discovered the getaway van is a stolen vehicle on false plates
18:51and the bloke Lucy arrested is a disqualified driver
18:54clearly he was pretending he wasn't the driver because he was sat in the passenger seat when we got round to him
19:00which is an age old trick
19:03but unfortunately for him I saw him in the driver's seat
19:06so unlucky
19:08to come across a crime in progress like that is quite rare
19:13and to obviously get the driver of the stolen vehicle arrested is a brilliant result really really pleased
19:19good boy
19:20good boy
19:22good boy
19:23come on then in
19:25good lad
19:29next stop the services to continue the investigation
19:36not before a little carriageway clear up
19:39this is one of the boxes that came out of that
19:43van
19:45can't tell what it is but we'll take it back to the lorry
19:51can have that back
19:53at the service station it looks like more boxes were destined to be stolen
19:57had Lucy not intercepted
19:59so this will be where they've cut the side to have a look at what's inside
20:04and then they've evidently tried to pull some of the bits out of here to see what the property is
20:12it looks like
20:16it's electronic equipment of some description
20:19sound bar subwoofers
20:22it's going to be relatively expensive electronic equipment I would say
20:26and given that that Luton van was half full of these boxes
20:31I would say we've probably prevented quite a high value theft
20:35from taking place
20:37so yeah good
20:39high value indeed
20:43Lucy recovered around 3,500 pounds worth of stolen goods
20:46the man in the van is awaiting trial for stealing from the lorry
20:48driving whilst banned and without insurance
20:54no legal action was taken against him in relation to the damage to Lucy's car or the nicked van
21:01coming up
21:05coming up
21:10I've got a town centre C3
21:12I see a vehicle swerving
21:14the interceptors go looking for a drink driving suspect
21:18what was that all about?
21:20I was moving out of the way of traffic
21:22and the van crash suspect goes looking for the interceptors
21:26go on bud, this is my vehicle
21:28I just had to try and get my insurance details from my friend's house
21:29oh interesting
21:32Northamptonshire is home to nearly three quarters of a million people
21:48many will take to the roads during rush hour and could face increased dangers
21:53the main issues of driving in sort of during rush hour is just the volume of traffic
22:01and the fact that people tend to be quite impatient
22:05if a car loses control
22:08where there's a lot of pedestrians around for instance like children walking home from school
22:13it can be catastrophic really for them because
22:16cars are effectively
22:20one ton killing machines
22:21it's the Friday morning rush hour
22:36and interceptor Callum Donoghue is blue lighting through traffic to the scene of a crash
22:41a van has apparently collided with a pole
22:45and the drivers fled from the scene
22:47we're going to really need to try and identify where the driver's gone
22:49and work out the reason why they fled from the scene
22:55Callum has an early prediction on the reason for the drivers disappearing act
23:00I would normally be suspecting drink or drugs
23:03so we'll see what we can find when we get there
23:06at 8.15 in the morning Northampton streets are busy with commuters and families on the school run
23:11there it is
23:14this crash and dash has caused serious damage but it could have been lethal
23:21very proper 6-1
23:30they're passing the red for this van
23:33after ploughing into a pedestrian crossing the abandoned van is wedged on the top of the railings and blocking one lane of traffic
23:40a lady out there said he's done a red light
23:50yeah
23:51lorries flipped him and he's made off
23:52oh interesting
23:53where's the lady
23:55whilst the fire crew fight any further danger by disconnecting the wrecked van's battery
23:59Callum speaks to the eyewitness
24:02say it happened because I came out of Brad's office it happened
24:05yeah
24:06as I rang you lot he'd done a runner so
24:08what was his description
24:09um about 5'8
24:11yeah
24:12very skinny
24:13crew cut hair
24:15um
24:16beige coloured shorts
24:17white train and blue top
24:19he's stupid
24:20why are you so eager to get across the red light for
24:25it's red
24:26there's emptying traffic at this time of the morning
24:29it's a stupid move
24:32thankfully no one seems to have been injured
24:35it's pretty stable
24:36clogging there
24:37yeah
24:38so if you're happy we'll leave you too
24:39absolutely mate that's fine
24:41now the scene is safe
24:43Callum can focus on solving the mystery of the vanishing van driver
24:46we'll wait for the vehicle to get recovered and then we'll go round to the address where it's registered to
24:53and see if we can speak to the driver or the owner
24:55um
24:57see if he's using drugs or any alcohol
24:59see what his explanation is for
25:01this
25:02because he's parked it very interestingly
25:05even more interestingly the runaway driver has left their motor unlocked and full of expensive power tools
25:13there'll be a bigger reason behind it
25:14and it's annoying me because i'm yet to find out why
25:17but
25:18leave it with us
25:19we'll get an answer by the end of the day
25:22an answer might present itself sooner than Callum is expecting
25:26alright bud
25:27this is my vehicle i just had to go and get my insurance details from my friend's house
25:30oh interesting
25:31sorry
25:32the van driver has come back
25:33what happened?
25:34basically the light's changed
25:35and the lorry come round here
25:36yeah
25:37and i've had to swear to mr lorry
25:38when i ended up going up the
25:39basically so i didn't hit anything
25:40i thought i hit the central reservation
25:42oh
25:43how fast were you going?
25:44i only thought 30
25:47what 30 from there?
25:48that takes a bit of force doesn't it?
25:50eh?
25:51that takes a bit of force to get it up there
25:52oh
25:53i was
25:54yeah i was doing 30 right
25:55um
25:56have you got your licence on you?
25:57yes sir
25:58callum is an advanced driver
26:00who is trained to handle anything from a high performance pursuit car
26:04to a riot van or a 4x4 response car
26:07if you've been involved in a collision i'll have to put you on a breath test and a drugs test as well
26:13just to make sure that's all fine
26:14alright
26:15is this van crash just a simple accident or are callum's suspicions about drink or drugs correct?
26:22just make a seal around it with your lips and one long continuous blow until i tell you to stop okay?
26:26keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going stop
26:29that's the time at the same time as you
26:32zero
26:33one test passed one to go
26:35so
26:36so
26:37not as i first assumed
26:38um
26:39we'll still wait on the results of the drug wipe
26:41he's very nervous
26:42but he came back
26:44and i'd argue
26:45if there was something more to hide he probably wouldn't have come back
26:50another unit are en route with the drug wipe kit
26:53in the meantime
26:55Callum and a recovery worker are coming up with a plan to get the van off the rush hour roads
27:00let this lot go through
27:02do you need this one closer as well?
27:04leave that one open
27:05just this bit
27:06yeah
27:07he's somehow going to go over there and lift it onto the back of his truck
27:11so we've got to close the whole road which will be interesting because everyone wants to try and squeeze past this morning
27:16already all i've got to do is set the crane up put the crane above it pick it and we're away
27:20cool
27:22at the next red light
27:24the recovery truck moves in
27:26Callum closes the second lane
27:29you can't get that way because the van in the way can't get that way because the truck will be in the way
27:32cheers mate
27:34and operation van lift begins
27:40weighing in at over a tonne
27:43the van is wrenched from the railings
27:46i bet he's great at the grabber machines in the arcade
27:53job done
27:58with a clearer view
28:00Callum notices a problem with one of the tyres
28:03there's one here
28:04you've got enough tread on them ain't they
28:07that's got cords showing
28:09oh shit
28:11bald tyres can increase stopping distances but so can drug driving
28:16having got the rush hour traffic moving again another officer has arrived with a drug wipe test
28:25Cheeks just get some saliva on the end of your tunnel for me
28:28do you take drugs at all?
28:29no
28:30and then just three
28:32okay
28:33so it takes eight minutes
28:34cool
28:35to fully work
28:36all right it's going to give us a reading of
28:37uh
28:38cannabis or cocaine
28:39well hopefully nothing
28:40now we play the waiting game
28:42one in twenty fatalities on our roads are caused by drug drivers
28:47within minutes it looks like Callum's suspicions could be correct
28:52uh
28:54you see on the bottom one
28:55yeah
28:56there's a second line under there
28:58right okay
28:59that shows that it's testing positive for cocaine
29:01shouldn't be
29:02well that's what the machine says
29:04so at this moment in time you're under arrest okay
29:06I'm suspicious of drug drive
29:07uh
29:08you don't have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you don't mention one question
29:10something you should later on in court
29:11anything you do say may be given evidence
29:13having failed the roadside drug test the van driver is taken to custody to give a blood sample for forensic testing
29:22obviously it's a friday morning there's lots of pedestrian traffic about as we saw
29:26kids going to school etc
29:28it was on quite a main road in northampton
29:30and for him to make that sort of manoeuvre
29:33to be wedged into the fence he was doing a bit of speed
29:37just lucky no one was stood in the middle of the crossing when that collision did happen
29:42blood test results confirmed the van driver was over the limit for cocaine
29:48he pleaded guilty to drug driving was banned from the roads for seventeen months
30:01when it comes to collisions involving drink drivers
30:04the number of fatalities are at their highest level for more than a decade
30:08setting his sights on taking those over the limit off the road is harrison beverly
30:15so we're on a sunday night shift
30:17um
30:18we've got the england match on tonight
30:19the first match of the euros against serbia
30:21so
30:22um
30:23expect it could be a bit busier than normal for a sunday night
30:25um
30:26potentially on the roads
30:27looking at people that have been watching the match
30:29a few drinks potentially
30:30um
30:31so we'll keep an eye out for that
30:32football fan harrison supports middlesbrough fc
30:38as the night draws in he's pleased to learn that england have scored a win
30:43however
30:44lord i'm just off the junction 10 now are you still barred out of town
30:49yes mate
30:51interceptors v suspected drink driver is about to begin
30:55i've got a town centre c3 i see a vehicle swerving
30:59nearly hit another vehicle i think so i'm going to give my leg up with getting the vehicle stopped
31:05fellow interceptor lloyd is already behind the erratic driver
31:11so harrison is plotting up
31:14ready to join us back up
31:16yeah it's got four or five occupants i think he said so
31:19it's um
31:20we want to try and get stopped and obviously i've just been seeing driving that bad on camera
31:23just double checking out of a drink or anything you know it's the england match tonight
31:26you'd hope that people are sensible but
31:28should be coming past us in a second
31:30what's need
31:37harrison falls in directly behind the suspect
31:43happy with compliance stop junction 10 lloyd you reckon
31:47yeah
31:51four passengers in a car with a suspected drink driver could be a recipe for disaster
31:57see if it stopped here it's a bit of safe that arose for us
32:02without delay they're lighting him up
32:12either he's failing to stop or something might be slowing the driver's reactions
32:16just as lloyd calls it in the suspect comes to a stop
32:23stand by stop stop
32:30get out of the car
32:33all right
32:34what was that all about
32:38i was moving out of the way of traffic
32:40you weren't
32:41give it all
32:42no look you can't come out of the road
32:43vehicle stop no damage
32:44you've got the keys it's five off at the minute
32:47yeah
32:48lloyd gets straight to the point
32:50the reason we're stopping you mate is um
32:52we might be driving quite badly in the town centre
32:55i don't suspect you're not
32:57going for charge
32:58any alcohol you can see here
32:59i've had a couple of bites while we were watching the euros that was it
33:02when was your last drink
33:03it's 25 past midnight now
33:06good hour ago
33:07you had to try to stress me off the roadside
33:10might as well mate
33:12yeah
33:13refusing the breathalyser is an offence in itself
33:16if this footy fan's got nothing to hide
33:19it's in his interest to play ball
33:21okay i'll hold onto the device
33:23just have a big deep breath and blowing until i tell you to stop please
33:26blow and you're not blowing okay
33:30yeah
33:31stop messing around
33:32stop messing around
33:33okay
33:34yeah i'm on
33:35yeah imagine you've blown a balloon okay
33:36yeah i'm on
33:37you can't trick the machine then
33:38all right
33:39if you're not blowing if you don't blow hard enough again
33:41then it's what's called failing to provide we should be arrested
33:43all right
33:44do you understand
33:45yep
33:46lovely
33:47big deep breath
33:48blow out until i tell you to start
33:49keep going keep going keep going keep going lovely thank you
33:53well that'll analyze the sample of breath that you've given us
33:55totally
33:56you're all right
33:57see what it takes
33:58legal limit at the roadside is 35
34:01yes
34:02fail at 72
34:04so this one of them time you're under arrest for driving or service for having alcohol
34:07could you understand him
34:08don't be defensive you want to try and question some such on the court
34:10let him do something to give him evidence
34:11all right
34:12yeah i'll put your hands out i think it's all right
34:13all right
34:14he's going to be sent off to custody
34:17shouldn't drive like idiot mate
34:21and his mate will be taking the safer option of a stroll home
34:25after a word from harrison
34:27i would say filming and laughing at your mate who's now with us is pretty stupid
34:31yeah
34:32please step out the car
34:34good job
34:38you don't want people like this driving especially with passengers in the vehicle
34:41you know he's he's double the drink drive limit potentially prevented a serious accident
34:48drink drivers kill people i've got no sympathy
34:51what time am i going to be out tomorrow
34:52don't know
34:53you've got to work
34:56i don't know you've got
34:57what time you've got to work
34:58i'm going to be getting pissed for half five
35:00yeah you won't be going to work at half five mate
35:02and there's one more bit of bad news for the driver
35:06probably he's failed to stop initially
35:09we're going to get a second section 59 warning mate
35:11which means we're going to seize your car
35:13section 59 warnings are issued for anti-social driving
35:18thanks to his earlier dodgy driving
35:20he's totted up two section 59s within 12 months
35:23and his motor is shown the red card
35:26i think he's going to have some regrets when he wakes up later today
35:29after failing the breath test of custody
35:35he was convicted of drink driving and disqualified for 18 months
35:39he also had to pay 859 pounds in costs and a fine
35:44and defined
35:57you see all sorts as an interceptor
36:02and another set of wheels bombing along the pavement is raising eyebrows for Ian Bayliss
36:07you can't ride that on the road
36:11that's it
36:13you see that it doesn't matter
36:15look pull up and then we'll have a chat
36:17you're never going to take it here
36:18well i don't know yet
36:19he's learning to spot it
36:20okay well pull up and let's have a look
36:26that ride could land this bloke in hot water
36:29he claims he's just picked up the electric quad bike for his son
36:32you can't ride that on the road
36:34i thought it was just like
36:36it's like a mobility scooter
36:38yeah it's not it's a motorcycle
36:40that's what it's classic
36:41so technically you need insurance
36:43yeah
36:44a driving licence
36:45and everything
36:46and have you got any of that
36:47i have yeah
36:48you've got it all
36:49i've got a driver licence
36:50you've got insurance
36:51no
36:52see that's where i have to take it now
36:54look at my place
36:55he's literally just got it
36:56where do you live
36:57i'll push it back now
36:58i'll push it back
36:59that cannot be on the road
37:01i'll push it back
37:02okay
37:03i'll take it out
37:04i'll put it in pocket
37:05and i'll push it back
37:06potentially ian could seize the mini motor
37:09it's classed as a mechanically propelled vehicle
37:12which is a
37:14it's effectively a motorcycle
37:16yeah
37:17same as a quad
37:18doesn't matter if it's electric
37:19electric
37:20i don't think they've got electric
37:21no
37:22but he decides the best road to take here is some words of advice
37:26if he wants to ride it you have to take it somewhere
37:29private land
37:30you can't just blast down especially pavements as well
37:34and the good old section 59 warning comes in handy again
37:38if this is seen on the road again
37:39yeah
37:40okay
37:41i'll put a thing in with your name on it
37:43it applies to you
37:44and the bike
37:46and then we take it
37:47yeah
37:48sorted
37:49right
37:50walk it
37:52yeah
37:53well done
37:54thank you very much
37:55he can stay on it
37:56but you're walking
37:57and you hit riding it
37:58thank you
37:59cheers
38:00good luck
38:01thank you
38:02anyone else who took that
38:03cheers mate
38:04damn right
38:05yeah see you later
38:08two happy customers walk their new main machine home
38:11still to come
38:16hello there
38:17aww
38:18it'll feel right enough
38:19a rescue mission on the A14
38:21you got it
38:22you're on
38:23and griff gets a couple of new crew mates
38:26as we've already seen the interceptors don't always get a warm reception
38:51but managing suspects is only part of their day to day duties
38:55a vast chunk of our time isn't dealt with chasing criminals down
39:00it's dealt with helping people
39:02and undoubtedly that's what drives most cops to get out of bed in the morning
39:07the roots of policing
39:08it's all about community
39:10it's about serving the communities in which we live
39:13to try and make people's days a little bit better
39:16and to make those communities safer places
39:18in the west of the county worrying reports are coming in about a breakdown on the A14
39:29callers that they think they're elderly
39:32females still in the car
39:34and there's an old man out there
39:35of walking all around
39:36in the live lane
39:40this afternoon Chris is joined by fellow interceptor Aaron Griff Griffiths
39:44who's putting his foot down
39:46just like the occupants were out of the vehicle but stood in the live lane
39:49so you've got traffic travelling at 70 miles an hour
39:53maybe something
39:55some higher speed
39:57so that's a concern
39:59that is as reported
40:01the call is being treated as a grade one emergency
40:05look at this tailback
40:08to reach the stranded couple the interceptors are up against building traffic
40:13just like grade one
40:15er, quick back
40:18Griff received a police commendation
40:20for saving the life of someone involved in a crash
40:23he's armed with advanced driving skills
40:28which are coming in handy today
40:30fair play, fair play, thank you very much
40:33another unit are first for the scene
40:35Griff and Chris aren't far behind
40:39you got them on mate
40:40and rears
40:41and rears
40:42and we've arrived
40:44fellow interceptor James fills them in
40:47lady bless is ever so emotional
40:49because she's got scared
40:50a bit of all the lorry's beeping up
40:51erm, so I've reassured them
40:53told them what we're going to do
40:54to tow them off
40:55but towing eyes not missing
40:56so we're going to have to do a bit of a thing on the axle
40:58we'll do underneath
40:59if you stay
41:00if you stay where you are
41:01JC goes in front
41:03while Griff and James move their marked cars into a position to shield
41:07and tow the broken down Renault
41:09Chris comforts the shaken driver
41:12hello there
41:14it'll be alright my love
41:15hello
41:17hello
41:18hello
41:19the couple were on their way to Wales on holiday when disaster struck for driver Sue
41:24it's just come up with a red light
41:26see an engine failure
41:28and it stole palm
41:30that's it
41:31nothing else
41:32no sound
41:33nothing

41:45how old am I?
41:46how old am I?
41:47how old am I?
41:4993
41:50the interceptors need to move fast to tow the elderly couple to safety
41:55where are you thinking of putting it?
41:57a missing towing eye puts a spanner in the works
42:03but Chris is on the case
42:05although I think Rocky might have said
42:09might have sussed out somewhere for it to go
42:12you've
42:13you got it?
42:14you're on
42:15good to go
42:17James and the gent will be out front on towing duty
42:23Chris will ride in the Renault
42:26whilst Griff
42:27sometimes these things happen
42:30I know
42:31but they're flipping A14 of all
42:33is crewing up with Sue and her canine companion
42:39good when you are Josie
42:41and we're off
42:42if it ever happens in the future
42:44first thing you must do is call the police
42:46between 40 and 70 miles an hour
42:48if you break down a road like that
42:49and you can't get the car out of the road
42:51get out of the car and call her straight away
42:53right I will
42:54yeah because we'll come out
42:55and even if we have to just shut the road
42:57keep you safe
42:58shut the lane then we'll do that
43:00the team tow the Renault off the A14
43:03and onto a side road
43:06where the couple can safely wait for their recovery
43:10just in case
43:11I'll give him a phone number
43:12just in case you do need me as a teammate
43:15you know
43:16if I tell him he's been replaced
43:17he won't be happy
43:18is that your partner?
43:19no no
43:20the one underneath your car
43:21oh he's underneath my car
43:22Chris's improvised towline worked a treat
43:26despite her initial distress
43:28after a good natter
43:29it seems Sue is feeling much better
43:32I don't know which one I like the best here
43:36isn't he lovely?
