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.
00:35Put your arms behind your mouth.
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.
00:51Coming up.
00:54Oh, Police!
00:56Come to the door with nothing in your hand!
00:59Firearms in suburbia.
01:01Oh, Police!
01:02Come to the top of the stairs with nothing in your hand.
01:06Wrong side of the roundabout.
01:08A runaway driver.
01:09Vehicle stomp, vehicle stomp.
01:11Has his bubble burst.
01:13Police, stop it now!
01:15And things that go...
01:17Fire!
01:18In the night.
01:196-1, mail's been tased, unsprayed.
01:21Not everyone on the road boasts interceptor driving skills.
01:40Come on, people. Don't lose your minds. It's a... a junction.
01:46But they get there in the end.
01:49There you go.
01:51Perfect harmony.
01:52It's a pitch black Thursday.
01:55Rob and Charlie are on patrol near the A45.
01:58No worries, if we can start considering seeing the sights.
02:01And the call has come up from the firearms squad,
02:04who need help stopping a Mitsubishi outlander.
02:07Let's start going.
02:08Yep.
02:15We're making to Grange Park in Northampton.
02:19ANPR cameras have picked up a vehicle that's got a P&C marker on it.
02:26It's used in what we call op-eye offences, which are theft from vans.
02:33So the occupants of this subject vehicle will break into vans
02:37and steal out of power tools and similar before leaving the county.
02:43The vehicle that they've travelled up in is confirmed as a clone vehicle.
02:47No thefts have been reported tonight,
02:50but interceptors want to disrupt any plans to hit vans on their patch.
02:55So you've got road to policing, arm response and dog units making to Grange Park.
03:02Clear left.
03:03So we're going to try and get there as quickly as we can
03:07to try and find a suitable stinger site.
03:09As quickly as we can is pretty damn quick in a Beamer 340.
03:17The advantage we have of the car that we're in
03:19is 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.
03:36And as he gallops towards Grange Park, there's an update on the cloned 4x4.
03:43Stand by, stand by, stand by. Contact, contact, contact. Subject meeting. Your plane will stop.
03:48So it's now failing to stop for our armed response colleagues.
03:52The targets failed to stop and firearms have failed to keep up.
03:57Tempore lost, tempore lost.
04:02Rob and Charlie need to reach the area fast,
04:04which means copper's privilege at the Reds,
04:06and no slowing for bumps in the road.
04:09Brace, brace, brace.
04:114, the bump.
04:13Here it comes.
04:161-1.
04:17We're just coming 10-6 to the area.
04:19Is there anywhere that's still not covered?
04:20We can do without a stinger site on bridge metal.
04:22Cops are flooding the area and laying stingers on potential escape routes to take out the target's tyres.
04:32Yeah, we'll have to go farm on it.
04:35But before Rob and Charlie can lay their own stinger, it's all changed.
04:40The Outlander's been found abandoned.
04:43Straight to Earth for Aventis, deep wooden west.
04:46But a Toyota also potentially linked to thefts has been seen in the area.
04:51From that last reef, what is it?
04:53That's Aventis.
04:54What is it?
04:551-1.
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.
05:12I've got a possible Saxon Avenue.
05:1560 and a 30.
05:21Wrong side of the roundabout.
05:23Wait.
05:24The driver's failed to stop.
05:27He's now correct side back round the roundabout.
05:29I'll get you a road name.
05:31And he's no idea of the armed response vehicle up ahead.
05:37I'll be on the roundabout.
05:38He's coming up to you now.
05:39Or the stinger team in the trees.
05:50Invisible in the shadows, sting ninjas cast their spikes.
05:55And take out four tyres.
05:58Unfortunately, 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.
06:09All we've got.
06:11But with a perfect strike on the target.
06:14Saxton Avenue towards the BP garage.
06:17This chase is as good as over.
06:20Go to them, Lucy. Go to them.
06:23Perfect.
06:25Everybody towards the BP garage.
06:27That's last point of contact.
06:29We're still in contact with it.
06:30It's wrong side.
06:31I'm standing as well.
06:32It's about to decamp.
06:33About to decamp.
06:34More at the passenger door clocks Charlie and thinks again.
06:37Police!
06:38Stop it now!
06:39Stop it now!
06:40The Toyota is back on the move.
06:46But by the time Charlie sprinted back to the Beamer...
06:49Right, right, right into Wutton.
06:52Four 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.
07:00This Charlie gives chase and the cavalry rolls in.
07:03Every cop and their dog are after them.
07:04Three out.
07:05All in black.
07:06All balacarvas.
07:07Across the A45 now.
07:08Police are tasers!
07:10It doesn't take long to catch up with one of the men.
07:13Come here.
07:14Stand still.
07:15Get here.
07:16Get out.
07:17Get on the floor.
07:18Get down.
07:19Get on the floor.
07:20Get on the floor.
07:21Get on the floor.
07:22Get on the floor.
07:23Get on the floor.
07:24Get on the floor.
07:26Give me your hands out.
07:27Give me your hands out.
07:29One detained.
07:30Three running into Fudge.
07:31Mate.
07:33You're under arrest.
07:34It's all right.
07:35Phone is stopped for police at the moment.
07:37I'm not the driver, mate.
07:38No?
07:39I'm going equipped.
07:40I'm going equipped for theft.
07:41Stand up.
07:42Stand up.
07:43His blue light taxi awaits.
07:45W Selgrin.
07:47We're literally going to be less than five minutes.
07:49And they'll need more transport because firearms has just caught a second suspect.
07:54Stop.
07:55Going equipped.
07:57Don't have to say anything but it may harm me with the fence.
07:59How many came in here?
08:00Three, I think.
08:01Oh, it was just one?
08:02Yeah, done it, fellas.
08:03You what?
08:04Yeah, done.
08:05Yeah, I've got you, yeah.
08:06There are no signs of the other two runners, but Rob has recovered a potential weapon.
08:15So I imagine as that's been on the floor where they went to get out, it's probably what
08:19he's had in his hand.
08:20And any plans the occupants of this car had for the evening have been well and truly disrupted.
08:25We've locked a couple of them up and we're going to have two cars away because the car
08:29that they were originally looking for was stolen.
08:32The cloned Outlander abandoned earlier was nicked.
08:36And though the cops can't connect the two in custody with that car, its owner will be
08:41glad to have it back.
08:42The 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.
08:54The good news is he's catched a lift with the recovery driver.
08:57Oh, didn't he?
08:58Sweet.
08:59Hmm.
09:03The cops couldn't prove who was driving the Toyota and no further action was taken against
09:08the two men nicked running away, either for going equipped or for driving offences.
09:13However, with a stolen car off the street and no thefts from bans on the interceptor's
09:18patch, it was a good evening's work.
09:26Coming up.
09:27Good.
09:29Good.
09:30Good.
09:31A potential firearm in the living room.
09:33One firearm located in the front room.
09:37Tasers drawn on a wanted man.
09:39Show me that!
09:40Show me that now on the ground!
09:42Show me that!
09:44And taser fired in a roadside rook.
09:47Ah!
10:02Early doors on Saturday morning.
10:04And interceptors are moving through the county in numbers.
10:09I say to the team, 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.
10:23The guy they won't fail to attend court on charges are dealing, and the firearms squad are pretty pumped to put him away.
10:36Yeah!
10:37But he has a history of violence towards cops, and given he may have firearms, the team is taking no chances.
10:46White face is on. Can I just confirm them? Black 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, I 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.
11:20Do you want to dress forward with a shield? Just give it a whack on the door.
11:26If anyone is inside...
11:28They're not answering.
11:35Put some challenges in, no response from the address.
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.
11:54It's a shadow gone.
11:55Please, show us your hands.
11:59Step out for us, please.
12:01Step 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.
12:06Keep walking this way.
12:07This way.
12:08The back of this car.
12:09I'm sorry, I just walked over.
12:10That's fine.
12:11This way.
12:12Walk to the back of the car.
12:14The figure, a woman, is not their suspect.
12:17Hello.
12:18Who's inside the address?
12:19Just me.
12:20I'm sorry.
12:21I just literally just walked over.
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 with you 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?
12:43OK.
12:44OK.
12:45Just stay here with him a minute.
12:46OK?
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.
12:57Oh, police.
12:58If you're in the address, come to the front door.
13:07Quiet.
13:08As the grave.
13:10OK.
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.
13:23Open door.
13:24Right on me.
13:25The first job, ensure no one's here.
13:28My room.
13:30OK.
13:31OK.
13:32The cupboards in.
13:33I'm not going to get any of these cupboards up the washing machine.
13:35That's fine.
13:36So, right is clear.
13:37My cover ahead of you is minimal, mate.
13:39So you should be aware of that.
13:43No sign of the suspect, but...
13:45Revolver.
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-barrelled revolver.
14:01One potential firearm.
14:03Which looks to be loaded with some form of rounds.
14:07Rubber.
14:08And a sword.
14:09And a sword.
14:10Or two.
14:11There's a machete under there as well.
14:14With 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.
14:23Downstairs, please.
14:24OK, form 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.
14:38Yeah, we're just full up.
14:39Deal.
14:40My room.
14:41Stay out.
14:47Room is clear.
14:48Out.
14:49My room.
14:56Down my back, I'm going to open this.
14:57Coven?
14:58Yep.
15:01Alright?
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 to release it, mate.
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.
15:18But leaving no story unturned, they brought a specialist camera to peek in the loft.
15:24You're going to stick it up.
15:25I'm going to try and get this out.
15:26So he's got an opportunity to...
15:27Jog into it.
15:28Jog into it.
15:31Point it at an angle slightly.
15:33Perfect.
15:34Start rotating it, mate.
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...
15:47I'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.
16:02And they've no leads.
16:06As night bleeds into day, cops across the county are on the lookout for the wanted man.
16:13You know him, dear?
16:14Yeah.
16:15He's well known to the interceptors.
16:16So we'll see if we can try and find him.
16:19It's just where he's going to be.
16:21It's just where he's going to be.
16:221183.
16:23Go ahead.
16:24Are you able to change?
16:25I'm just trying to...
16:26But it proves a fruitless search.
16:30So annoying.
16:31Yeah.
16:32It's only as evening shifts begin to hit the streets that better news comes in.
16:44Matt, I'm just up by the church.
16:45I take it it's parked outside the shop, is it?
16:47An Audi attached to their suspect has been seen parked up in the north of the county.
16:52Yeah, it's parked outside the morrisons daily.
16:53Roger.
16:54Bertie, where are you?
16:55We're just parked up on the cloud coast.
16:56Okay.
16:57Three cop cars are keeping the parked Audi under ops.
16:58We're just waiting to see whether he's still using the vehicle or not.
17:02The male's known to us he's previously been quite violent towards police.
17:03So we'll probably be looking to put some robust tactics in place to ensure he's safe for rest.
17:15But after a long wait with plenty of time to muse on life, love and love, the car is
17:21not just a big deal.
17:22It's a big deal.
17:23It's a big deal.
17:24It's a big deal.
17:25It's a big deal.
17:26It's a big deal.
17:27It's a big deal.
17:28It's a big deal.
17:29Can't 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 on
17:51the off chance someone returns to it.
17:54It's just a point of thinking now.
17:57Which they just have.
17:59The Audi's on the move.
18:01And so is Tony.
18:04Before 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.
18:15What are we saying?
18:16We're going to try and ID him first?
18:19Or just 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 he's not our subject, then we'll let him 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.
18:49Not one, not one.
18:51Guided by comms from the lead car ahead.
18:54Not two, not two.
18:58Not three, not three.
19:00Take four, take four.
19:028.19.
19:03He's probably going to be aware of us by now.
19:04So we've got two unmarked cars behind him now.
19:08So we'll see.
19:10Up ahead, the target car is taking a strange route.
19:13It's my right, right, right.
19:16It's Glead Road.
19:19Left, left, left.
19:21He's definitely testing them.
19:24And in the lead unmarked...
19:26I think he's going to be aware of us, mate.
19:29They decide to light the Audi up and gamble that their wanted man is inside.
19:41Box on.
19:42But is this their man?
19:44And is he armed?
19:47Show me that! Show me that down on the ground!
19:50Show me that!
19:51It's him, and he's run for it.
19:53Get ready, get ready!
19:54There are too many cops for an escape.
19:56Get on the board!
19:58Run to the rest!
19:59But he's not giving up without a fight.
20:01Hands out!
20:02Hands out!
20:03Just relax, relax, relax, relax.
20:07Why are you doing this?
20:08Put your hand.
20:09Get your hands off!
20:10What's that for?
20:11Get your hands off!
20:12What's that for?
20:13Relax.
20:14I've got his hand.
20:15Get your back now.
20:17Whoa!
20:18Why are you doing this?
20:20Put it under his arm.
20:21Why are you doing this?
20:22I've got it.
20:23Release your hand.
20:24Release your hand.
20:25Do you want to see what I've got?
20:28Release your hand.
20:29Do you want to see what I've got?
20:30Release your hand.
20:31Do you want to see what I've got?
20:32Given the swords, machete, and potentially live firearm at his house.
20:36I don't want to see what I've got!
20:37That's a threat they take seriously.
20:39Are you saying he's got hold of something?
20:40What have you got on your chap?
20:42Nothing!
20:43Why did you just say you don't want to see what you've got?
20:45Okay.
20:46Stand you up, buddy.
20:47He's pretty wound up.
20:48Deep breath.
20:49Calm down, yeah?
20:50And not coming quietly.
20:52Arrgh!
20:53Arrgh!
20:54Arrgh!
20:55Arrgh!
20:56Arrgh!
20:57Get off me!
20:58Just stop with the wrists!
20:59Arrgh!
21:00I bet I would just stop with the wrists!
21:01Okay.
21:02Hey!
21:03Jesus!
21:04Stop with the wrists!
21:05I'm trying!
21:06Just stop with the wrists!
21:07Woo!
21:08Try, come here.
21:09Woo!
21:10Woo!
21:11Woo!
21:12Woo!
21:13Woo!
21:14While they wait for transport to the Nick, Tony leads the search of the suspect and his
21:19car, which turns up a large amount of cash, and...
21:23There's a pot of white powder in a bag that we had as well, so...
21:27What?
21:28What?
21:29What?
21:30What?
21:31A pot of white powder.
21:32Where's that then?
21:33Where is it?
21:34Where was it?
21:35What are you on about?
21:36I haven't got anything!
21:37Where was that found?
21:38What are you on about?
21:39What powder?
21:40In the car, mate.
21:41Where?
21:42I haven't got any powder.
21:43That's not mine!
21:44This pot that's just full of white powder.
21:46It could well be just baking soda.
21:48It's carbonate or soda.
21:49Is it?
21:50Okay, yeah.
21:51It sends out the pot, for God's sake.
21:52I know that.
21:53Oh, you've been doing some baking?
21:54Yeah, 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, but 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 seat, we've found this locking knife.
22:13Incredibly dangerous.
22:14There's a blade to go with the baking soda, but it doesn't look like one you'd cut a
22:19Victoria sponge with.
22:20Looks like there's some remnants of white powder on the blade as well, which probably
22:23tells its own story.
22:24Incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands.
22:26Whatever his motive was, it's illegal per se.
22:29He shouldn't have had it, so he's got some questions to answer.
22:32And he still does.
22:35No further action was taken regarding guns found at his address, which turned out not
22:39to be viable firearms.
22:42After pleading guilty to drug driving, he was banned from the roads for 14 months and fined
22:48120 pounds.
22:50He's under investigation for possession of a bladed article.
22:54He may also have to answer for the powder, which is currently at the lab, to confirm tests
22:58in the field, which suggested it's cocaine.
23:02The seat in the back, mate.
23:03Yeah.
23:04All right.
23:05All right.
23:06Can we sit the door up just until I'm sweating, look, that's all.
23:07Oh, the aircon's on, mate.
23:09Coming up, when two become one, nothing can tear them apart.
23:16He's got no traction.
23:18Flipping heck.
23:19A disc wall driver doesn't learn his lesson.
23:22You're really going to struggle to get your license back after this one.
23:25And a very near miss.
23:28Shit.
23:29Sets Bomber off.
23:31Bloody hell.
23:39Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow.
23:49A typical year sees more than 40,000 people convicted for drink or drug driving in the
23:54UK.
23:55You're currently under arrest on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle whilst over the prescribed
23:59limit of alcohol.
24:01And interceptors lock up all sorts.
24:03We'll get you down to custody.
24:05The quiet ones.
24:07Tight.
24:08It's because you've been involved in a collision.
24:10I'll put you on a breath test and a drug test as well, just to make sure that's all
24:13fine.
24:14The wired ones.
24:15It shows that it's testing positive for cocaine.
24:17What's this done?
24:18What's this done?
24:19What's this done?
24:20What's this done?
24:21What's this done?
24:22And the totally vile ones.
24:23Three, come on.
24:24Three.
24:25Oh, my God.
24:26I hate being spat at.
24:34Some of them are completely hands up.
24:37I've been caught.
24:38No arguments.
24:39And then there's the others that are aggressive and argumentative.
24:48But over the years, you kind of develop a way of dealing with these people.
24:54Even small amounts of alcohol impair judgements, which is bad news if you're sharing the road with a drink driver.
25:08Well, good news if you're trying to spot one.
25:21Lightly invested in this red one.
25:24It's almost four in the morning, but the driver of the rave-mobile that just passed Callum and Stuart doesn't believe in quiet time.
25:31Oh, it's got some tunes on.
25:34The car's only insured to a woman.
25:43That's a bonus, he stopped at the red line.
25:48I can't even see it.
25:49It's so bloody dark.
25:50And given the cops are in the unmarked, it's unlikely Mrs Raven knows she's being followed.
26:01We'll have a chat.
26:03We'll have a chat.
26:06She does now.
26:08And as the mobile boom box pulls up, it's time to see what she has to say for herself.
26:14Hi there.
26:15You all right?
26:16Hi there.
26:17You all right?
26:18Yeah, good, thank you.
26:19Whatever ravey lady's saying, she's saying it somewhere else because she's certainly not at the wheel.
26:32That's how I do?
26:33Yeah, good.
26:34Good.
26:35Just routine traffic stop.
26:36Yes.
26:37The only reason why we're questioning it is when we've run your car through.
26:40Yes.
26:41Your mother?
26:42Yeah.
26:43Have you got insurance?
26:44I'm not going to lie, I have not.
26:45You haven't?
26:46No.
26:47Why are you driving then?
26:48Yeah, for a stupid reason.
26:49Well, it's stupid for driving.
26:50I'm not going to lie to you.
26:51Yeah.
26:52You can't fault the lad's honesty.
26:53You've got your driving licence on you?
26:54I've not.
26:55I've got a provisional.
26:56You've got a provisional?
26:57Yes, I'm not going to lie to you.
26:58He's fessed up to two offences in unmarked.
27:01He's fessed up to two offences in unmarked.
27:10And Stuart reckons there could be a third.
27:14Have you taken anything tonight?
27:16Yeah.
27:17Because your eyes are like spaced.
27:19No.
27:20Let's take you on a drug test mate.
27:21Okay.
27:22Yeah, close.
27:23You've got your keys?
27:24Yeah.
27:25His eyes look ripe for raving and 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.
27:33All the way.
27:34Just leave it out.
27:36Don't curl it at the end.
27:38It's weird.
27:39All the way out.
27:40But don't curl it.
27:41That's it.
27:42After a meandering gathering of saliva.
27:45And a short wait.
27:48The driver miraculously passes the drug wipe.
27:52He's passed the drugs test.
27:54But Callum is convinced he's under the influence of something.
27:57Have you drank anything in the last 20 minutes?
28:00I had a bottle of Moretti but that's it.
28:03How long ago?
28:05Half hour ago.
28:06How big a bottle are we talking?
28:08I had a normal size.
28:093.30.
28:10No.
28:11One small bottle of beer shouldn't put him over the drink drive limit.
28:15Okay.
28:16No problem.
28:17Go for it.
28:18Which is 35 on a breathalyser.
28:26Yeah.
28:27So you've failed.
28:28Okay.
28:29So at this time it's 03.52.
28:32Currently under arrest for driving a motor vehicle on a road.
28:36Whilst over the prescribed limit.
28:37For driving with a provisional driving license.
28:40And driving with no insurance.
28:42Okay.
28:43DJ Moretti has blown 57.
28:46More than one and a half times the legal limit.
28:48And the hits just keep on coming.
28:51Nathan.
28:52Yes mate.
28:53So you're disqualified from driving.
28:55So you're further under arrest for driving whilst disqualified.
28:59Okay.
29:00You're still under caution.
29:01You're really going to struggle to get your license back after this one.
29:06Yeah.
29:07He's been busted for driving without a license before.
29:09And clearly didn't learn his lesson.
29:13Yeah.
29:14In that Volvo.
29:15In the Volvo.
29:16Yeah.
29:17Comfier.
29:18So he's off for a night of luxury at the Northampton Hilton.
29:20Jump in there for me.
29:22No problem.
29:23And then pull your seatbelt on for us.
29:25No problem.
29:26While Stuart chaperones the drink driver to face the music.
29:29Callum sees the rowdy Audi that gave him away safely onto the recovery truck.
29:39The lad's sorry evening went from bad to worse.
29:42When in custody he blew even higher.
29:45Hitting 66 on the evidential breath machine.
29:48Raver pleaded guilty to drink driving and driving without a license or insurance.
29:54He was given a community order, ordered to pay £200 in fines and was banned for a further
30:0020 months.
30:01Anything but music to his ears.
30:03Intoxicated drivers don't come more compliant than Callum's music lover.
30:13And the law of averages says the next one will be very different.
30:18Did you get a report of an RTC?
30:21Are you able to pop down for us?
30:24Yes, yes.
30:26More in a second.
30:28A 999 call reports a driver sitting in his car after an alleged crash.
30:34The caller suspects he's under the influence.
30:37Copy.
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.
30:48And as he and wingman Tom brave the rain, it's clear this isn't a night to be short handed.
31:02The car's almost in the live lane of the A45 and the visibility is shocking.
31:07You alright?
31:08Yeah.
31:09You sure?
31:10Yeah.
31:11I'm sure.
31:12How are you going?
31:13He's trying to run.
31:14Stay there.
31:15Stay there.
31:16Stay there.
31:17Stay there.
31:18And he's run straight into Tom.
31:20Please stop for the taser.
31:21Stay where you are.
31:22They're wrestling by a main road and Callum has to act fast.
31:25Tom, go off.
31:26Tom, go off.
31:27Stay where you are.
31:28The driver's been hit with 50,000 bolts.
31:34Give me your hands.
31:35Give me your hands.
31:36Relax.
31:37But he's still struggling.
31:38Get me cuffs.
31:39Get me cuffs.
31:40Takes another shot from the taser.
31:42Relax.
31:45Let go.
31:46Give me your hands now.
31:47Give me your hands now.
31:48A 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.
31:55I don't want to keep zapping him.
31:56They can't let him struggle so close to live traffic.
31:58So Tom unloads a can of Parva spray in his face.
32:01Put your hands out now.
32:03Put your hands out now.
32:056-1.
32:06Mail's been tasered and sprayed.
32:07Can we get another unit, please?
32:09But incredibly...
32:10Give me your hand now!
32:11He's still not compliant.
32:13Tom, I'm going to come in with you, mate.
32:14Yeah.
32:15Holstering his taser, Callum doubles the manpower.
32:17I've got one cuff on.
32:18Just can't get this hand on.
32:20And after a titanic three-man struggle...
32:23Give me your hand now.
32:24...they use a second pair of cuffs.
32:27Let me get my cuffs out.
32:31...link the pairs together...
32:35...and he's detained.
32:37Finally storing cuffs.
32:38Follow over on your side.
32:40Where's his probes gone?
32:42Callum needs to retrieve the probes of his taser, which 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 and no-one is seriously injured.
32:56Is it okay?
32:57Yeah, I'm good, mate.
32:58Yeah.
32:59You all right?
33:00Yeah, yeah.
33:01But the driver won't forget this in a hurry.
33:03You've been tasered, okay?
33:07So you might feel a little bit dizzy.
33:10Okay, but just relax and we'll look after you, alright?
33:13A taser generally incapacitates someone instantly.
33:16The hits he took suggest he may be under the influence of something.
33:21He's wired?
33:22Yeah, yeah, literally.
33:23Toughest face, isn't he?
33:24I need a drink, please.
33:26Well, I can't get you a drink at the moment, can you?
33:28Just stop struggling and relax, alright?
33:30He is still struggling on the floor.
33:32Get me a drink.
33:33He's apparently got a Ribena on the front seat.
33:36He needs a drink.
33:38You're not having a drink at the moment because we're in the middle of the A45.
33:43Please, a Ribena.
33:45I need a drink.
33:47Not at the moment.
33:48The 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.
34:16Seconds from disaster.
34:18Where were you literally walking down to get into it?
34:21How did they get into it?
34:23And is this the work of the town, dog snatcher?
34:26Someone's just coming to my back garden.
34:29Okay, stolen my dog.
34:30Obviously this direction impacted with the rear off side of this vehicle.
34:48You might think in a parked car or on your own driveway you'd be safe from other motorists.
34:55You'd be wrong.
34:56I wasn't going that fast at all.
35:00People do mount curbs.
35:02We've had it where people have ploughed into groups of children.
35:10We had one very recently where four school kids were knocked over.
35:18And that was because they were driving recklessly.
35:21People make split second but stupid decisions.
35:25It's a wet winter night.
35:30Bomber and Rob are blue lighting to the possible location of a stolen car.
35:34The chaperone to the car.
35:36He's got a set of keys but he thinks he may have left a set of keys in the backpack inside it.
35:46The hot motor has been spotted on the other side of town and Bomber is doing his best to navigate treacherous conditions at a sensible speed.
35:53And to make things even more treacherous.
35:57And to make things even more treacherous, a driver's panicked at approaching blue lights and stopped dead in the middle of the carriageway.
36:03Shit!
36:05Christ almighty!
36:07Why didn't he?
36:09You 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.
36:17I mean it just completely stopped.
36:20And as they swap a wet dual carriageway for slippery roads on the outskirts, it seems not every driver has the Lord on their side.
36:32The stolen car will have to wait.
36:36Romeo Papa, 6-4.
36:40You jump down mate.
36:42Yeah.
36:43We've just come across some 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?
37:02Has done one.
37:03Did you actually see him or interact with the bloke?
37:06No, no.
37:07Right, okay.
37:08The shunt caused by the initial impact has damaged two more cars.
37:11None of the cars are going to be drivable, but one of them's certainly significantly damaged.
37:17And its owners were seconds away from disaster.
37:20Where were you?
37:22You were just walking down to get into it.
37:26They were about to climb aboard and witness the whole thing.
37:30This van's coming down.
37:33There was a lot of feeding.
37:34Yeah, yeah.
37:35There was this tremendous banners and it spun round.
37:37Yeah.
37:38Well, luckily you weren't in it.
37:39It looks like God was smiling on them tonight.
37:41Where, where would you be?
37:43And there may be a good reason why.
37:45Just being in the church.
37:46Oh.
37:47The gentleman is actually a man of the cloth and 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.
37:58Yeah.
37:59But it's going to take almighty forgiveness to absolve the man from the van who was far from Christian and bailed.
38:05Drive got out and walked off.
38:06Yeah.
38:07He was just gone, wasn't he?
38:08Yeah, just gone.
38:09Like, just like that.
38:10Just had.
38:11A surge of the crumpled van offers up some clues as to why he went just like that.
38:16It stinks.
38:17There's cans and weed deal bags and all sorts in there.
38:22There are empty tinnies in the cab, plus some empty deal bags marked with cannabis leaves.
38:27I suspect that we were probably intoxicated in some way.
38:30Right.
38:31Which is why they've legged it.
38:32Yeah.
38:33So, 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.
38:41So, but 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.
38:54In the meantime, there's the little matter of clearing the mess he left behind.
39:01You're making no progress there, mate.
39:04Which is proving easier said than done for the recovery guy.
39:08It's literally embedded into it.
39:10The impact of the shunt has fused two cars into one.
39:13I might just move back a bit.
39:15Yeah.
39:16And the star-crossed hatchbacks don't want to let go.
39:20Let that go off.
39:22They can't go on the truck in one piece.
39:25So, with a copper in one car and recovery guy in another.
39:28Hold tight.
39:30They try again to part the inseparable.
39:35It's got no traction.
39:36Flippin' heck.
39:37In the end, a bit of brute force.
39:39Bit of pressure from the front.
39:43Oh, that's got it.
39:48That looks like it might have it.
39:53And...
39:54There you go.
39:55The embrace is broken.
39:59As are the tragic hatchbacks, it's pretty clear now that the vanishing van man has managed to write off three cars.
40:06Here we are.
40:07Expert driving for you.
40:09The cops caught up with the van's registered owner, who confessed that he was indeed the expert driver who ploughed into the parked cars.
40:19No action was taken regarding allegations of drug or drink driving, but van man was found guilty of failing to stop at an accident and received a six-month driving ban and ordered to pay £540 in fines.
40:34God willing, he'll learn his lesson.
40:37Nice evening turning to a terrible one, I suppose, isn't it?
40:40Could be worse.
40:42Is he a reverend, was he?
40:44Yeah, he was.
40:45It's Saturday, and Rob and Charlie are together again.
41:03We're crewed together a little bit.
41:06We like to have a laugh, which I think has then meant that we've managed to get the nickname of the Chuckle Brothers.
41:12I don't mind it, to be fair.
41:15Do you mind it?
41:16No.
41:17No.
41:18This afternoon, the Chuckle Brothers are patrolling an estate and 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.
41:31Do you reckon he's gone?
41:32Oh, he is.
41:33He's waved.
41:34Hello.
41:35Someone's just come into my back garden.
41:39OK.
41:40Stolen my dog.
41:41Dog thefts have skyrocketed in recent years, with some of the most commonly stolen breeds being bulldogs, chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers.
41:49What do they look, what's the dog look like?
41:51It's a black Yorkshire Terrier.
41:52Just about that.
41:53Hang on, a black Yorkshire Terrier.
41:54Yeah.
41:55Small enough to carry.
41:56This is where a copper's observational superpowers kick in.
42:03Because Rob and Charlie remember seeing a couple carrying a small dog on the opposite side of the estate.
42:12Phone nines and tell us.
42:16Leaving the anxious owner to phone 999, Charlie gets his foot down.
42:21Where are they going to have gone?
42:23Where are they going to have gone?
42:24Don't know.
42:25Rob needs to circulate a description of the missing pet.
42:281-1, can you hear me?
42:30But before he can...
42:33There they are.
42:34There's those two.
42:35They pass a couple with a dog and double back via the roundabout to investigate.
42:401-1, we're opposite the racecourse.
42:42A member of public has flagged us down because they said they've just had someone jump in their back garden.
42:47And steal their dog, of which they've given a description that we thought walked past us on the way in.
42:54I've told them to phone because we've gone on an area search, but I think we might be with them.
43:01Hello.
43:03But this pair didn't swipe the dog.
43:07We found him!
43:08Where?
43:09Just down the road.
43:11They found him in the road and are trying to return him to the address on his collar.
43:15Oh, bless!
43:16What is that?
43:17If that's okay.
43:18Was it just down the road you said?
43:19Yeah.
43:20I was going to say, I think we've probably just come to him because we were round the back.
43:23Hello!
43:24The owner's front door is all the way on this side of the estate.
43:28But he didn't answer because he was out back with the cops.
43:31I think that's probably because he was just out back having a chat with us.
43:34And he's worried sick.
43:36Very cute and soft.
43:38I'm nervous.
43:39Yeah.
43:40I know, we'll get you home in a second.
43:42Luckily, it isn't far to travel for a reunion.
43:45Did they ring because they lost their dog?
43:46We 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.
43:56My God.
43:58How's that for doggy detective work?
44:00I think that's what you call right place, right time.
44:03All'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, but that's probably the first thing that runs and yet
44:15your head, isn't it, when your dog's suddenly gone from the garden.
44:19Faulty gate.
44:20Luckily, we remember seeing a doggy.
44:23Quick turnaround.
44:24Exactly.
44:25Didn't even have to say any words to anyone, handcuff anyone.
44:28Nothing.
44:29No.
44:30And the dog's been returned.
44:31Let's go and tell off that goal for his plate.
44:33Oh, 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.
44:39It's Paul and Barry chuckle in the flesh.
44:41Sorry, Barry.
44:42All right, Paul.
44:45I'll see you next time.
