FunTranscript
00:00Police intercept is the rule I for.
00:01I'm going to tell my kids I'm riding.
00:03And you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
00:06Speed one, two, zero.
00:09Ace pursuit drivers.
00:11Contact, contact, contact.
00:13With air support.
00:14Got two O's, stand by.
00:16I'm out!
00:17And a crack dog unit.
00:19If you leave, you will get hit.
00:23They bring down the bad guys.
00:25I believe you'll want it, mate.
00:27Keep the streets safe.
00:34And battle 24-7.
00:37Get down on the floor.
00:38In the war on crime.
00:40Crash, crash.
00:42This is what it is, isn't it?
00:44We find them, we lock them up.
00:48Coming up.
00:49Vehicles going through plastic cones.
00:51Still continuing.
00:53A cone-crushing runaway gets a bone-crushing close encounter.
00:57Get down now!
00:58Get your belly down!
01:00Get your belly down!
01:01Get your back in now!
01:02Move away from the door!
01:04A special op sees cops unleash the enforcer.
01:08Hey!
01:09Hey!
01:10Hey there!
01:11Hey there!
01:12And a sunny evening in the park.
01:14I'm going to go down and get him.
01:16Turned cloudy for a suspected drug dealer.
01:19Hey, come on, it's back!
01:20Cool!
01:21He's got to see him with his drug's act.
01:22It's Wednesday evening, and Interceptor Chris Locke's shift has been a quiet one.
01:45Yeah, no worries.
01:47So far.
01:48We'll finish in Despero and we'll head to board to Colby.
01:50He's just received an SOS from Colby's ten miles away.
01:56Six-five. What colour is that, Golf?
02:00Like a dark blue.
02:02I mean, like, two up, two IC1 males, about 25 years old.
02:06They were stood with the boot open.
02:09They've gone to basically put the car in the front and it's made up of us.
02:13Oh, OK.
02:14A local unit is hunting down a brand new VW Golf that's been reported stolen from a car rental firm.
02:24It's been counted as a fail to stop.
02:26Got to find it.
02:28We'll see if we can get it stopped and try and get a couple of bodies from it.
02:32Lockie is a taser-trained advanced driver who joined the force 19 years ago to help clean up the county's roads.
02:41His weapon of choice tonight is an unmarked Volvo.
02:49I don't know whether or not Amiga 5 would be worth keeping our eyes peeled.
02:52If it's hit Eurohub south, it could be heading towards Kettering.
02:56A handful of other units are now being drawn into the hunt, including several armed response vehicles or ARVs.
03:06Shift, shift, shift.
03:07And that's not all.
03:10The wanted motor has just pinged an ANPR camera nearby.
03:15You can only go towards the A14 from the end of Rockingham Road.
03:20Now Lockie reckons he knows exactly where the golf will end up.
03:24Roger, I'm Northfield Avenue.
03:27And he's back on the money.
03:306-5, contact, contact.
03:32Heading up towards the town, passing Prospect House to my offside.
03:37Lockie has slipped quietly in behind and, for now, travelling incognito appears to be doing the trick.
03:45Unmarked.
03:46Do not believe they're aware of my presence.
03:49Speed 2-5.
03:50Low risk.
03:51For the interceptors, a pursuit is always the last resort.
03:59Left, left, left, onto Field Street.
04:03So Lockie is happy to hang back, sit tight and wait for backup.
04:08I've not tried to light it up at this moment in time, although vehicle is trying to put distance between it.
04:14So right, right, right.
04:15Vehicle's now making off.
04:16The suspect is clearly spooked, leaving Lockie no option but to see what his Volvo can do.
04:24Rockingham Road, wait.
04:25Left, left, left.
04:26But this nippy Golf boasts 0-60 in under 9 seconds.
04:34Vehicle's failing to stop.
04:35It's a stolen VW Golf.
04:37Drivers are unknown.
04:39Unknown occupants believed to be two based on previous items by MPT.
04:43Approaching roundabout, wait.
04:44The roundabout up ahead, coupled with a build-up of traffic, gives Lockie a chance to gain some ground.
04:52Continuing Rockingham Road, Kettering out.
04:55Vehicle's still planning to stop.
04:57With an interceptor on its tail, the suspect's moves become increasingly desperate.
05:03Medium risk over the roundabout, continuing Rockingham Road out.
05:07But something up ahead could work in the cop's favour.
05:12We're approaching the roundabout with road closures.
05:15Wait.
05:16Will the road work stop him in his tracks?
05:19Vehicle's going through traffic cones, still continuing.
05:23High risk.
05:25The Golf smashes through cones like a toddler in an ice cream parlour.
05:30We've gone left, left, left towards the A14.
05:32He's blasting down a quiet stretch of the dual carriageway, which offers ample opportunity to open the taps.
05:41Speed 120.
05:43No pedestrians in sight.
05:46Approached in the junction 7, A14.
05:48Speed 110.
05:51Medium risk.
05:53At north of 100, the Golf hurtles through a red and into the roundabout,
05:58where he almost becomes the filling in a tractor sandwich.
06:01Not one, not one, not two, not two, continuing around the A14.
06:06And his daredevil tactics are beginning to have serious consequences.
06:11I believe it's made contact with another vehicle.
06:16Navigating the roundabout at speed, the Golf clips an innocent motorist.
06:21But with an ARB unit now in support, is the tide turning back in Lockie's favour?
06:26We're now heading towards Corby on the A43, through the road closers.
06:35Driving on a closed road may seem like a low-risk strategy.
06:39Unfortunately, it's anything but.
06:41No vehicles, however, we are going to be approaching workmen as we approach the rocket road roundabout at the other end.
06:48Half a mile up ahead, dozens of night shift workers are resurfacing the road.
06:55An interceptor's job now is to calculate the risk.
07:01Confirm you want an abort-abort.
07:04A decision is made to stand down.
07:06But has the Golf gone for good?
07:26Speed 120.
07:29No pedestrians in sight.
07:31In Corby, a VW Golf that had been reported stolen was wreaking havoc on the roads.
07:38I believe it's made contact with another vehicle.
07:41But when it took off down a closed stretch of dual carriageway, interceptor Chris Locke had to weigh up the risks.
07:48We are approaching the part of the road closure where there are going to be workmen.
07:54And the risk to pursue was deemed far too high.
07:57Yeah, vehicles continuing towards catering, I have aborted.
08:05Locke allows colleagues in an armed response vehicle to take over and they proceed with caution.
08:11But once through the road works, they floor it.
08:16Locke's playing catch-up, but moments later a flicker of blue catches his eye.
08:20Get down now!
08:25On the floor with your belly!
08:27On your belly now!
08:28And turn your back!
08:30And turn your back to him now!
08:33Armed response cops have caught up with two lads who fled from the Golf.
08:37Put your hands down to your back.
08:39You nearly killed people driving through there, mate.
08:42I'm not having to go.
08:43That's two in cuffs.
08:45And it looks like it's way past this lad's bedtime.
08:48Oh, bro, I'm only 15, you know.
08:52Oh, OK, sure.
08:52Back, back, man.
08:54After the chaos they brought to the county's roads, the cops will have little sympathy.
08:59I'm in pain and I'm in agony.
09:01That's all right, mate, we'll get a doctor to see you.
09:02That just, bro, I didn't even know what was going on.
09:04I'll sleep in the back in five minutes.
09:06Bang!
09:08Meanwhile, Locke is checking out the ditched motor.
09:11These two lads should be thankful they're not more seriously hurt.
09:14The manner of the driving from this car today, you've got rum in the car, grinder, all sorts of things.
09:28There's even a pair of sliders, which the young lad may need before he heads off to Kettering Nick.
09:33And with neither of them fessing up to being behind the wheel, both are under arrest for dangerous driving.
09:41Oh, going through road works, going through road closures, forcing its way through cones and other cars.
09:46Just complete disregard for anybody else on the road, let alone passengers in the car.
09:51Just disgusting behaviour, to be perfectly honest.
09:54The main thing is we've got people in custody.
09:56We're going to have to try and work out who we're driving.
09:58But the car's totalled.
09:59It's a brand new car.
10:01That's all wrecked.
10:03Other cars have been involved as well, so...
10:06All in all, high risk.
10:08Hopefully, high reward at this moment in time.
10:11Following a thorough investigation, police were unable to determine which of the lads was the driver.
10:16So they both received no further action for the driving offences.
10:19They also received no charge in relation to theft of a motor vehicle.
10:23It's Thursday afternoon, and interceptors Ian and Connor are getting packed and prepped for an intelligence-led job.
10:44They're part of a programme called Operation Revive, set up to tackle violent crime, drug dealing and child exploitation across the county.
10:53Today, they've got a warrant to conduct a raid on a residential address.
10:59So, the information and the intelligence that we've got so far for this is that it's being used through county lines.
11:07It's being used to cuckoo the resident.
11:11So they're taking advantage of the resident to take over his flat.
11:14Cuckooing is a name given to the practice of a crime gang using a vulnerable or young person's home as a base for drug dealing.
11:23If there's reports of it happening within the community, the team have a duty of care to act and safeguard potential victims.
11:30This recent intelligence about there being machetes and firearms at the address, however, it doesn't need any specialist officers such as firearms or dogs to attend.
11:44To say Ian's got policing in the blood would be an understatement.
11:50Both his mum and dad were on the force.
11:55This boy is blue through and through and proud of it.
11:59Open to find from it drugs, cash, burner phones.
12:04The team don't know for certain how many people are inside the flat.
12:09But with reports of potential weapons, they can't take any chances.
12:14So as we're approaching the address, we'll park out of the way and then we'll walk through.
12:19So this will hopefully not be seen.
12:25With eight cops on the raid, they hope to have at least strength in numbers.
12:30Someone said they got the enforcer, hadn't they?
12:32And they've got the tools to help with a swift entry.
12:37Door's open.
12:39Yeah.
12:40Even though the front door has been left unlocked, up on the third floor, there's another one.
12:47And because of the intel, the team have got to get through it before anyone inside has a chance to react.
12:58I'm going to hate them.
13:02Yeah, I need the last bit out.
13:04Unfortunately, the lock won't budge.
13:12It's time to unleash the enforcer.
13:15Move away from the door!
13:16Go!
13:24Go still!
13:27Go still!
13:27Stay there!
13:29Stay there!
13:29It's alright, it's alright.
13:32Keep holding.
13:34Sit down on social media as a warrant.
13:36What for?
13:37We'll explain all the men.
13:38You guys want to take a seat on social media?
13:40Sorry.
13:40Inside the flat, there's one woman, two men, and two dogs.
13:47And apart from the barking, there's no sign of any resistance.
13:53But one of the officers who stayed outside has spotted something.
14:02While cops are dispatched to retrieve the bag that was tossed from the window,
14:06the rest of the team turn their focus on the flat itself.
14:10Obviously, if there's nothing here, we'll be on our way.
14:13But we have to search first, don't we? We've got a warrant to search.
14:18Stashed in the lounge are a few bags of what appear to be mushrooms.
14:23There's a load of mushrooms that we've found in there, George.
14:25Yeah.
14:26My mate's friend used to grow them, mate.
14:29I put them in my bottle of nice.
14:31What are they? Mushroom bottle of nice.
14:34Dang it, mate.
14:35The man is claiming to use them in a special recipe.
14:40But judging by the current state of his frying pan, he's no Gordon Ramsay.
14:45I like mushrooms, and some meatballs, and some beef, and a nice bowl of nice sauce.
14:53Unfortunately for the bloke, the bag that was chucked from the window has just been located.
15:00You know, what was in the bag?
15:01Oh, it just looks like canvas, isn't it?
15:04It's more Class Bs.
15:06A decent find, but not the big score the team were hoping for.
15:11There's no weapons either.
15:12Unfortunately, no sign of anyone present being the victim of cuckooing.
15:17But there is something here that's ringing alarm bells.
15:22Is that your phone ringing?
15:23I'm not so sure.
15:25There's no one's phone. We can have it, can't we?
15:26Yeah.
15:26Get it booked in and find the owner.
15:28Yeah.
15:29The phone and the drugs are being seized.
15:32The landlord is being called to fix the front door,
15:35and the three occupants are released for now, pending further inquiries.
15:40All in all, a mixed bag for the team.
15:42We didn't find what we were looking for, in terms of drugs today,
15:47but as we were going in, there was a big bag of cannabis was thrown out the window.
15:51We found some mushrooms.
15:54Typically for us, we're always after crack and heroin.
15:57That's what we really look for.
15:58He uses them for making bolognese.
16:01Yeah.
16:02Although the boys and girls from Operation Revive specialise in proactive policing,
16:11they must also be ready to respond to other incidents at a moment's notice.
16:16It's now Friday, and Ian and Connor are heading back out in the unmarked.
16:33Someone's just all in black on a motorbike, doing a wheelie up front.
16:38A call's just come in that's piqued their interest.
16:41Yeah, he's still going up to you, believe it.
16:43An off-road motorbike has been spotted driving erratically nearby.
16:49There was a bike pulling away, and he's pulled a wheelie all the way down this road.
16:53It's gone straight over, so the cops are just going over that way to see if they can find him.
16:57There's another unit tracking the bike, and they've just clocked him riding into a park.
17:03So the park that he's coming in...
17:07..is this park here.
17:10Ian and Connor are closing in.
17:14Eyes left, boys.
17:16He's on there. He's on foot.
17:17The suspect has met up with some other lads in the centre of the park.
17:22I'm going to go down and get him.
17:25Buckle up, folks. We're going off-road.
17:33Go, go, go.
17:33He's running back down towards you.
17:40Fitness fanatic Connor loves the gym, hates drug dealers, and spends his spare time Thai kickboxing.
17:49So this lad doesn't stand a chance.
17:51Wait for clap, it's back.
17:55Poor old.
17:56Don't be pretty fever as his drugs act.
17:57Why?
17:58He's didn't knock me out.
18:00Why, you just seen that wheelie.
18:01Yeah, you were on the road.
18:02Get out of hand out now.
18:04Guys, host, this is Jess.
18:07Drug dealers in this area.
18:08Wiring man off riding motorbikes.
18:10Dangerously.
18:12You've met up with a group of people in the park.
18:14Hello, police.
18:15You're on the phone for a stupidity.
18:16You're immediately met up on foot.
18:18Let's get him moved to the side if you want.
18:19Yeah, he's been nicked by Connor and two other cops simultaneously and is apparently no stranger to the procedure
18:29I just got out of the cell yesterday
18:32They've got the man and the machine
18:35Yeah, they've got one detained got the bike
18:38The off-road bikes in Corby are a massive massive problem
18:42So if it's one more off the road, it's one more often. No one got hurt
18:46And as it turns out this lad was well worth breaking a sweat for as he's run we've
18:55Not too much a dangerous drive and then doing a search on him. It's got a load of drugs as well
19:02The lads been found with what is suspected to be a quantity of cocaine so he'll be arrested for the P wits
19:11He'll be arrested for the dangerous driving as they saw him pulling the wheelies
19:14And you take him to custody. I think he's just been released from custody. They what they were saying. So
19:20Straight out put back in again
19:22The bike once Connors hauled it back up to the road is being seized
19:32And now an ID check on the suspect has confirmed that not only is he disqualified from driving but he's also just 16 years old
19:39You get so many underage dealers now, you know, a lot of the gangs use them
19:45Because they know they're under 18 and they're not going to get treated the same way an adult would
19:49You know, we've had runners as young as 11-12
19:52deals because
19:53from a policing point of view that
19:56They're hard to deal with because they're generally vulnerable and we have to look at them as a victim and a suspect at the same time
20:02It's balancing it
20:05The cocaine seized was estimated to have a street value of nearly 1500 quid
20:10Biker boy pleaded guilty to possession of class A's with intent to supply
20:14As well as the driving offenses
20:16He was banned for 31 months and had to pay 222 pounds in costs
20:22At the house raid earlier on the men admitted possessing class B drugs
20:26But the matter was settled out of court with community orders
20:30No action was taken against the woman
20:34Still to come
20:35Can you ask this lady has she had anything to drink that's alcoholic?
20:40Cops beat the language barrier to nick a drunk driver
20:44You failed this so you're driving so we need to go to custody
20:48And how fast do you think you were going?
20:5179
20:52Try 115
20:54A man in a hurry who refuses to learn his lesson
20:58You're going to court for this
21:00At that speed that's the only option we've got
21:04The roadside breathalyser first hit our streets more than 50 years ago
21:20Keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going stop
21:24That's it
21:25The roadside breathalyser first hit our streets more than 50 years ago
21:29Okay
21:30That's giving me a reading of 103
21:32You're under arrest on suspicion of driving America
21:34I'll stay with the prescribed alcohol
21:36I'm getting arrested
21:38And since that day annual road deaths have plummeted to just 18% of what they were in the 1960s
21:45When was your last alcoholic drink?
21:47I've got blood moved
21:48I'm a vodka rim
21:49I'm not
21:50You think you will be?
21:51Yeah
21:52But with around 40,000 drink drivers getting nicked each year it's clear that for some motorists
21:58The penny still hasn't dropped
22:01Good morning
22:02Can you get out?
22:03No
22:04You can't get out?
22:05I don't know
22:07Hello
22:08Hello
22:18Lots of shouting, arguing on the phone
22:20Hi
22:22It's Friday evening mid-summer
22:25First roundabout take the ride
22:28Refusing to have their spirits dampened by the unseasonal weather are interceptors
22:32Stuart Wilson and Rachel McCready
22:35So not this right but the next one
22:40Experienced cop Stuart is known for his friendly manner and unflappable demeanour
22:45He's apparently got more patience than an NHS waiting list
22:50He and Rachel have just been called to an incident in a residential street
22:56This one
22:58Where an altercation has apparently erupted between two motorists
23:03Is this the car?
23:06That's the car
23:12Hello
23:13Who called us?
23:16You called us
23:16So I've gone to Link's shop just there
23:20Yeah
23:20I'm parked up
23:21I'm just about to reverse out to go
23:23And she's come zooming around the corner
23:25And went to hit me
23:26So I've stopped
23:27I've reversed
23:28Yeah
23:28And then she's succeeded
23:30She's carried on and crashed into my car
23:33The crash happened outside a convenience store nearby
23:36And after getting bumped the driver of the black ford focus followed the alleged perpetrator to this street
23:44She's damaged my car
23:45Where is it?
23:46She's driving to nearly hit three cars on the way out
23:48She's driving to the bush
23:50Even though I stopped
23:52But as all cops know there are two sides to every story
23:56Unfortunately Stuart seems to be struggling with the other one
23:59I'll give you the phone please
24:02Okay
24:04I'm sorry please
24:05Can you speak with this husband?
24:07My husband
24:08My husband can you speak?
24:10Hello
24:11Hello
24:11Sorry mate
24:12She doesn't speak any English
24:13Okay
24:14What language does she speak?
24:16Lithuanian
24:17No worries
24:18I can get a translator
24:19And I can speak to her
24:20With the translator
24:21Okay
24:22I can help you
24:24No no
24:24I need an independent party
24:26Because an allegation's been made against her
24:29Okay
24:30In the UK police can call upon a database of specially approved and accredited interpreters
24:37To help break down language barriers at the roadside
24:41Allegedly I think this lady's been driving
24:44Crashed into someone else
24:46But yeah she doesn't speak any English
24:48So it's one of those where we're just trying to piece together and see what happens
24:52The first question Stuart wants the interpreter's help with is a pretty simple one
24:58Can you ask this lady has she had anything to drink that's alcoholic?
25:09No please listen to no no you listen to me
25:13I listen to you but but I won't understand because I'm
25:16I'm shocking I'm shocking
25:18Right
25:18This lady's shouting
25:19No no calm down
25:22Calm yourself down
25:23I can't speak I can't speak
25:27The woman is clearly distressed but she's not answering the question
25:30So Stuart has to persevere
25:33Can you ask her again has she had anything to drink in the last 20 minutes?
25:38I think she's stalling um so I'm going to require a sample of breath for analysis at the roadside
25:53I've already stated that to her
25:55So without further ado
25:58Deep breath
26:02So that's it
26:05Keep going keep going keep going stop stop stop that's it it's done anything over 35 and she's off to the nick
26:12Okay so that's come back as a fail so the time's 20 34 you're under arrest okay for driving whilst over the prescribed limit so you don't have to say anything but it may harm your defence
26:26I've got a translator I'm trying to listen and take everything on board we're trying to communicate with it
26:31And I think what she's trying to do is stall and stall and stall
26:35The woman's blown 57 well over the legal limit and you can't argue with a breathalyzer or can you
26:43So tell her she's under arrest so she's going to be coming with us now
26:51Why so because you failed this so you're driving so we need to go to custody
26:56And do an evidential one of these so you can't make any phone calls or anything right now
27:05No, you've just made a phone call end it and put it away. No, you can't because you're under arrest because you're under arrest so no
27:15The woman will be spending the rest of her friday evening at the nick and the other driver who has blown zero is free to go
27:21I
27:25mean our job is essentially to arrest them and
27:30Get them into custody and then everything can be explained
27:33in more detail when we get there
27:36People do all sorts of weird and wonderful things to try and delay that process we do need to have a lot of patience
27:44Mine was starting to run quite thin
27:46When they get back to the station the reality of the past couple of hours appears to catch up with the driver
27:55But after being examined by a health care professional she's deemed fit enough to give an evidential sample of breath
28:03I
28:04Don't believe that this is going to be very easy at all
28:08um
28:09But yeah, just be patient and I'm sure we'll get there
28:12Will stuart's legendary patients hold out?
28:18I just need her to answer the questions that i'm putting to her
28:26I want my phone call and I won't talk to anyone
28:30For 40 minutes she refuses to answer any of stuart's questions
28:34Of our several times I've taken it as a refusal for the procedure
28:44Failing to provide is as bad as a fail
28:48I can be as patient and with anybody I will show them respect and dignity and understand the procedures
28:55But at some point i'm just going to have to call it and that's what we've done
29:00It is frustrating because she could engage in the process and
29:07blow under and then she could walk out and
29:11Be absolutely fine, but now she's looking at a charge for failing to provide so i'd like to think that she might learn her lesson
29:17And hopefully she has
29:19Maybe her punishment will do the trick she pleaded guilty to failing to provide and was slapped with a 20-month driving ban
29:28A community order and fines of almost 200 pounds
29:32Speed
29:391-0-0 in the 5-0
29:42It's by far the biggest killer on our roads
29:45Yeah, he's lost a wheel now
29:47It's in a hundred miles now on three wheels
29:49That's just a long day
29:51And 2.4 million speeding tickets are issued in the uk every year
29:57You've got a speeding conviction already
30:03If you're lucky you'll only lose your license
30:06Fox on lane three
30:08If you're not you could lose something much more precious
30:12Crash, crash, crash, vehicle's overtime
30:14The problem with speeding is the faster you go
30:21The less time you have to react you're decreasing your chance of being able to react to a situation
30:29Very recently we went to an address and had to to say that the person
30:36had been killed on the roads and
30:39Fundamentally it was down to speed
30:42It's devastating for the families
30:46It affects the officers who have to go and deliver that news
30:51And it's such a tragic circumstance which
30:56Needn't happen if people just reduce their speed
31:01Wednesday late shift
31:08And interceptors aaron griff griffiths and scott kimberley are cruising the m6 southbound at around 70 miles an hour
31:18So how fast must that skoda vrs be going
31:22Griffs in the unmarked 3 series so powers up for a closer look
31:27113 yeah
31:31The skoda's clocking triple digits
31:35About 110 110 115
31:40Nearly half of all drivers break the speed limit on the motorway but this chap clearly reckons he's king of the road
31:47Initially we've sort of clocked it paste it at 113 and now it's uh slowed down to
31:5790 to 100 mark obviously it's just been caught in traffic
32:02Back to 100 and increasing
32:07Advanced driver griff once saved someone's life at a road traffic accident and received a police commendation for his heroics
32:17100 and 14
32:19This carp has seen up close the damage that speeding can do
32:24I wonder if this person's just bought it potentially oh, it's a nice car 69 page vrs
32:30nice car
32:32The sporty skoda vrs has a two litre turbocharged engine but that's no excuse for driving at these speeds
32:40Looks like i'm on the south yeah
32:42Rather than deal with him on the hard shoulder the fellas need to find a safe place to pull him over
32:49I'll get into the gap the easy one it yeah
32:53With the exit for the watford gap services just a mile away griff makes his move
32:59You give him some lights as well young lad you just prepare follow me for it yeah
33:05I'll do some unmarked cars of an led matrix in the rear window that instructs vehicles behind to follow me
33:15You've got compliance yeah, I got an airside lovely
33:19And he's a name one
33:22All that's left to do now is slowly reel him in
33:25Yeah, he's committed
33:27As hoped the skoda's parking up just outside the services
33:31I'll let you have the honest thank you
33:36Although for the driver this is unlikely to be a welcome break
33:42Now driver turn your engine off for me please
33:45Take your belt off and jump out if you're happy with that so i can chat to you
33:50Bit easier than leaning in then isn't it putting my head in your car
33:52Um, why is it that stopped you i think so just just just leave it just i'm not i'm not gonna let you just do a little bit driving
33:59Just behind in front in front just back just make me a little bit down calm calm comfortable
34:03To be fair or maybe the insurance just i bought the car i can prove everything just i don't all the insurance everything
34:09Sorry, okay explain just i bought the car right now
34:12As far as answers go that was about as clear as a politician's time for griff to play paxman
34:18Okay, you've just bought the car. Yes, but why is it that i've stopped you today do you think?
34:23Maybe a little maybe a little bit speedy a little bit of a little bit how fast do you think you were going?
34:2889
34:2879
34:2990
34:3019
34:31Try 115
34:33We've been following you since the m6
34:35Yeah, I know yeah, I see that but just probably when I want us when I pass some cars it's true
34:40No, no, you were you were maintaining that speed
34:42The chat now claims it was only speeding whilst overtaking it's no excuse and griff's decidedly unimpressed
34:51We've followed you for around about 15 miles almost
34:55And you have consistently driven over the speed limit so it's not just once or twice every opportunity
35:03You've got you've come back out into the outside lane and you've put your foot down as fast as you can
35:08Okay, and you then you're going 110 107 115 you're going to court for this
35:15You're going to court for this
35:17At that speed on the motorway that's the only option we've got
35:21The bloke's not happy and to add a little extra salt to the wound griff's just pulled up his driving record
35:29You've got six points for speeding in
35:332021
35:34Speeding in a 50 how fast were you going then out of curiosity?
35:39110 or something
35:43It was busted doing more than double the speed limit just two years ago
35:47So what would happen if you'd crash tonight?
35:49It might be that we'd have to go and tell your family
35:51That you're not coming home tonight because you've crashed your car 100 over 100 miles an hour
35:55I'm thinking about all the other road users that you share the road with to have a license is a privilege with six points already on his
36:03License that privilege is now hanging by a thread keep going keep going keep going
36:08Thank you a sample of breath comes back clean
36:12And even though he bought the car this morning. He is fully insured
36:16That's your license back
36:18When you rejoin
36:20Please drive the speed limit, okay? You're you're you're gonna drive through another couple of police force areas
36:25I can promise you they're probably not the only one that's probably got an unmarked car on the motorway
36:29But you really need to think about it
36:32So with a court summons in the post and a stern word or two from griff he's free to go
36:38And other road users will be hoping that this time he really has learned his lesson
36:43He wanted me not to report him for the speeding because
36:49Um, he said, you know, he's got a job. He uses his car to drive. He's got wife. He's got kids at home
36:55but
36:56Actually when I you know, I put it to him that what would happen if you crashed at that speed and you then
37:02It was then a fatality and you know, we have to go and tell your family
37:06For me
37:07It is the right choice that a magistrate in court can decide
37:13What
37:15Penalty he should face and he knows that price because he's been there before
37:19So he's gonna have to go back there and now explain why he's back a second time
37:23For the same offense, but at high speed this time
37:28At court the driver admitted speeding and lost his license for six months
37:32He was also ordered to pay a eight hundred and seven pounds fine and over 400 pounds in costs
37:39Maybe this time he's learnt a valuable lesson
37:44Still to come
37:45I wasn't not going that fast at all
37:47Then I've gone to over tape and thinking of going straight
37:49Yeah
37:51A demolition derby, but who's to blame man or machine?
37:55That mountain bike's probably got better brakes than this
38:02I've got a report of a bike into the side of a wall of the vehicle
38:09I've got a report of a bike into the side of a wall of the vehicle
38:22It's sunday afternoon
38:24A little batch of the ninjas come off a motorbike
38:27The male at once did his name is approximately 20
38:31Straight and bruised and small amount of blood
38:33Reports are coming in of a motorcycle crash on a housing estate on the edge of town
38:39Apparently the caller saying he was speeding and lost the control
38:44Interceptors Keith Gay and Michael Hollowell are just a couple of miles away
38:49If you pass that to us we'll attend
38:52Former London copper Michael is not only an advanced motorbike rider
38:56But also a keen speed cyclist
38:59When it comes to jobs on two wheels Michael's your man
39:04The motorbike is the side of my wall
39:06So he looks badly injured
39:09And a young lad saying how much will it cost to fix it
39:12So it may be that the lad
39:14It may not have insurance and he's asking how much it is to fix it
39:19But we shall find that out in a second
39:21That'll be it then
39:25At least we survived
39:29When they get there a local unit is already on the scene
39:33It's a little lucky what's going on
39:35Well Michael it's not a pretty sight
39:43Judging by the state of the wall it's a miracle the motorcyclist is still standing
39:48I wasn't going that fast at all
39:49Were you coming down here?
39:50Yeah I was just coming down here right
39:52Car's gone to pull in here
39:53Then as I've come down here
39:55Somebody's made somebody's turned left but indicated at the last second
39:58As they've indicated at the last second I've gone to overtake them thinking they're going straight
40:02Yeah
40:02And then boom
40:04The lad swears he wasn't speeding
40:06If that's the case maybe he hasn't committed an offence today at all
40:11So your bike registered to you?
40:14Yeah it's been reported already for a couple of months
40:15That's in my name
40:16Yeah
40:17But I haven't got insurance, license, tax emoji
40:20Right okay
40:21Oh dear
40:21I've not allowed to get the bike to you
40:23That's right
40:24That vehicle should hit at 8.3
40:25That's right
40:25That's right
40:26Okay
40:26Be a fool
40:27Sorry
40:27Yeah
40:28Yeah
40:28Well at least he's being honest
40:31Yeah so we've got a young lad here who says that he's been riding to the speed of the road
40:38And a vehicle's causing to go through a brick wall and into the side of a van
40:43He's admitted they have no insurance, tax or MOT
40:47So the bike's not fit for the road
40:49To go up a kerb and to hit a wall and to go through a van
40:53There's got to be a bit of speed involved
40:54There's no other vehicle involved so it's all down to himself
40:58So we'll just do some checks
40:59That's why I check the vehicle to make sure it's a legit vehicle and fit for purpose
41:04Not only does the bike have no MOT but it's riddled with rust and almost 30 years old
41:11You don't see many old bikes like that do you?
41:13They're more prone than plastic
41:15But very unusual
41:16Older bikes may hold visual appeal
41:19But even when they're fully road worthy
41:21Riders should be aware of the potential risks
41:24This is an old drum brake so it doesn't stop very well
41:28Bikes nowadays have disc brakes front and back
41:31And probably double disc front and back as well
41:35So much better stopping power than the old drum brake brakes from years ago
41:41That mountain bike's probably got better brakes than this
41:46A harsh but fair assessment
41:50And it looks like the bike isn't the only thing that's battle scarred
41:54Injury-wise for you, are you holding your arm a bit funny?
41:56My shoulders, I don't know
41:58Can you not lift your shoulder at all?
42:00I think I've got a bit of whiplash maybe
42:01No, but you're not moving that
42:03I know you're moving your hands
42:03I can move my arm
42:05The lad is clearly struggling
42:07It's all right, go on
42:13My whole back now
42:17Is it just a bit stiff?
42:18Yeah, like it's just muscle I think
42:19You're sure?
42:20Yeah
42:20He's putting on a brave face
42:24But he'll need to be checked over by paramedics just in case
42:27So a call is put in for an ambulance
42:30I am released from here, right?
42:31Once we've got all your details
42:33Yeah, that's fine
42:34Obviously we're going to have to recover the bike
42:38The bike unsurprisingly is being seized
42:40And will only be released once the lad can prove he's fully insured
42:44And that the bike has been made completely roadworthy
42:48But let's not hold our breath on that last one
42:51Are you really going to want that back?
42:52Yeah, we'll fix it
42:53Are you sure?
42:53Yeah
42:55He's also promised the homeowner he'll pay for the van
42:58And wall repairs out of his own pocket
43:01We'll make sure his details are correct
43:03Yeah
43:03And then if you need those details from us we can give you those
43:06Yeah, yeah
43:06All right?
43:07Okay
43:08And with that it's pretty much job done
43:11Is this the ambulance for him?
43:14Possibly
43:14Yeah, yeah, looks like it
43:16Look at that
43:16All the things I hate is people are not insured
43:19You know, they need to insure their vehicles
43:21You've got to pay for that cover
43:23If you can't afford it, don't ride it
43:25And that bike doesn't look like it's fit for the road
43:27And it's got no MOT
43:28So I'm sort of thinking down the lines of
43:31It wouldn't pass no MOT
43:34With medical assistance here
43:35And local cops happy to stay and tie up any loose ends
43:39For the interceptors it's time to hit the road
43:41Reflect on a job well done
43:43And reminisce about the good old days
43:48My first bike was called a Fizzy
43:50An FS1E
43:51It was a 50cc
43:54God, my first bike was a Honda C90
43:57A plastic chicken
43:58Plastic chicken
43:58Yeah, red and white
44:00Yes, we used to muck around on them
44:02Yeah, that bike won't be back on the road
44:05I just do hope that he does pay that chap back his price to get his van repaired
44:10Because if he doesn't I think you'll be looking for him
44:13Yeah, yeah, I think so
44:16The bike was never collected and was scrapped
44:18For driving without a license or insurance and without a valid MOT
44:22The lad had to pay over £1,600 and receive 6 points
44:28The hollow on the road
44:40I saw the other hand
44:42Its own, never important
44:44An Sane
44:46Lord of the house
