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 back.
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 and we lock them up.
00:53Coming up.
00:54Vehicle's going through traffic cones.
00:56Still continuing.
00:57A cone-crushing runaway gets a bone-crushing close encounter.
01:02Get down now.
01:03Get your belly down.
01:05Get down, go back to him now.
01:07Move away from the door.
01:08A special op sees cops unleash the enforcer.
01:12You're out of here, please.
01:14You're out of here, please.
01:15You're out of here.
01:16And a sunny evening in the park.
01:19I'm going to go down and get him.
01:20Turns cloudy for a suspected drug dealer.
01:23Hey, class, it's back.
01:25This is cool.
01:26This is very famous.
01:27This is good, Zach.
01:38Lucky take was in call.
01:40BDA 47 Oakley Road.
01:4221-08.
01:44It's Wednesday evening and interceptor Chris Locke's shift has been a quiet one.
01:51Yeah, no worries.
01:52So far.
01:53We'll finish in Desborough and we'll head to board to Colby.
01:56He's just received an SOS from colleagues 10 miles away.
02:006'5".
02:016'5".
02:02What colour is that Golf?
02:03Like a dark blue.
02:06I mean like two up, two IC1 males about 25 years old.
02:11They were stood with the boot open.
02:14They've gone to actually put the car in the front and it's made off of us.
02:18Oh, okay.
02:19A local unit is hunting down a brand new VW Golf that's been reported stolen from a car rental
02:28firm.
02:29It's been counted as a fail to stop.
02:31Got to find it.
02:32We'll see if we can get it stopped and try and get a couple of bodies from it.
02:37Locky is a taser trained advanced driver who joined the force 19 years ago to help clean
02:44up the county's roads.
02:49His weapon of choice tonight is an unmarked Volvo.
02:52I don't know whether or not Amiga 5 would be worth keeping our eyes peeled.
02:57If it's hit Euro hub south, it could be heading towards Kettering.
03:02A handful of other units are now being drawn into the hunt.
03:06Including several armed response vehicles or ARVs.
03:11Shift, shift, shift.
03:13And that's not all.
03:16The wanted motor has just pinged an ANPR camera nearby.
03:21You can only go towards the A14 from the end of Rockland Road.
03:25Now Locky reckons he knows exactly where the golf will end up.
03:30Roger, I'm Northfield Avenue.
03:33And he's bang on the money.
03:356-5.
03:36Contact, contact.
03:37Heading up towards the town.
03:39Passing Prospect House to my offside.
03:42Locky has slipped quietly in behind.
03:44And for now, travelling incognito appears to be doing the trick.
03:50Unmarked.
03:51Do not believe they're aware of my presence.
03:54Speed 2-5.
03:55Low risk.
03:56Low risk.
03:57For the interceptors, a pursuit is always the last resort.
04:03Left, left, left onto Field Street.
04:08So Locky is happy to hang back, sit tight and wait for backup.
04:13I've not tried to light it up at this moment in time.
04:15Although vehicle is trying to put distance between it to right, right, right.
04:20Vehicle's now making off.
04:23The suspect is clearly spooked, leaving Locky no option but to see what his Volvo can do.
04:28Rocking the road, wait.
04:30Left, left, left.
04:34But this nippy Golf boasts 0-60 in under 9 seconds.
04:38Vehicle's failing to stop.
04:40It's a stolen VW Golf.
04:42Drivers are unknown.
04:43Unknown occupants, believed to be two based on previous items by MPT.
04:48Approaching roundabout, wait.
04:49The roundabout up ahead, coupled with a build-up of traffic, gives Locky a chance to gain some ground.
04:58Continuing Rockingham Road, catering out. Vehicle's still planning to stop.
05:03With an interceptor on its tail, the suspect's moves become increasingly desperate.
05:08Medium risk.
05:10Over the roundabout, continuing Rockingham Road out.
05:14But something up ahead could work in the cops' favour.
05:17We're approaching the roundabout with road closures. Wait.
05:21Will the road work stop him in his tracks?
05:24Vehicle's going through traffic cones, still continuing. High risk.
05:30The Golf smashes through cones like a toddler in an ice cream parlour.
05:35We've gone left, left, left towards the A14.
05:39He's blasting down a quiet stretch of the dual carriageway, which offers ample opportunity to open the taps.
05:45Speed one, two, zero. No pedestrians and sights. Approached in the Junction 7, A14. Speed one, one, zero. Medium risk.
05:58At north of 100, the Golf hurdles through a red and into the roundabout.
06:03Where he almost becomes the filling in a tractor sandwich.
06:07Not one, not one. Not two, not two. Continuing around the A14.
06:11And his daredevil tactics are beginning to have serious consequences.
06:16I believe it's made contact with another vehicle.
06:21Navigating the roundabout at speed, the Golf clips an innocent motorist.
06:26But with an ARB unit now in support, is the tide turning back in Lockie's favour?
06:31We're now heading towards Corby on the A43, through the road closures.
06:40Driving on a closed road may seem like a low risk strategy. Unfortunately, it's anything but.
06:46No vehicles, however, we are going to be approaching workmen as we approach the Rocking Road roundabout at the other end.
06:55Half a mile up ahead, dozens of night shift workers are resurfacing the road.
07:00An interceptor's job now is to calculate the risk.
07:06Confirm you want an abort, abort.
07:08A decision is made to stand down.
07:13But has the Golf gone for good?
07:32Speed one, two, zero. No pedestrians in sight.
07:36In Corby, a VW Golf that had been reported stolen was wreaking havoc on the roads.
07:43I believe it's made contact with another vehicle.
07:46But when it took off down a closed stretch of dual carriageway, interceptor Chris Locke had to weigh up the risks.
07:53We are approaching the part of the road closure where there are going to be workmen.
07:59And the risk to pursue was deemed far too high.
08:02Vehicle's continuing to water catering. I have aborted.
08:11Locke allows colleagues in an armed response vehicle to take over and they proceed with caution.
08:15But once through the road works, they floor it.
08:20Locke's playing catch up, but moments later a flicker of blue catches his eye.
08:24Get down now! Get down now! On the floor with your belly! On your belly now!
08:33Let's build your back! Let's build your back then now!
08:37Armed response cops have caught up with two lads who fled from the Golf.
08:41Put your hands behind your back!
08:45You nearly killed people driving through there mate!
08:48That's two in cuffs!
08:50And it looks like it's way past this lads bed time!
08:53Oh, bro, I'm only 15, you know!
08:57Oh, okay, you should have fired!
08:59After the chaos they brought to the county's roads, the cops will have little sympathy.
09:04I'm in pain and I'm in agony.
09:06That's all right mate, we'll get a doctor to see ya!
09:08I didn't even know what was going on, I was sleeping back in the car next minute!
09:12Bye!
09:13Meanwhile, Locke is checking out the ditched motor.
09:16These two lads should be thankful they're not more seriously hurt.
09:22The manner of the driving from this car today, you've got rum in the car, grinder, all sorts of things.
09:34There's even a pair of sliders, which the young lad may need before he heads off to Kettering Nick.
09:38And with neither of them fessing up to being behind the wheel, both are under arrest for dangerous driving.
09:45Oh, going through road works, going through road closures, forcing its way through cones and other cars.
09:51Just complete disregard for anybody else on the road, let alone passengers in the car.
09:56Just disgusting behaviour, to be perfectly honest.
09:59The main thing is we've got people in custody, we're going to have to try and work out who was driving.
10:02But the car's totaled. It's a brand new car. That's all wrecked. Other cars have been involved as well.
10:10So, all in all, high risk, hopefully high reward at this moment in time.
10:17Following a thorough investigation, police were unable to determine which of the lads was the driver.
10:22So they both received no further action for the driving offences.
10:25They also received no charge in relation to theft of a motor vehicle.
10:28It's Thursday afternoon and interceptors Ian and Connor are getting packed and prepped for an intelligence-led job.
10:46They're part of a programme called Operation Revive, set up to tackle violent crime, drug dealing and child exploitation across the county.
10:58Today, they've got a warrant to conduct a raid on a residential address.
11:03So, the information and the intelligence that we've got so far for this is that it's being used through county lines.
11:12It's being used to cuckoo the resident, so they're taking advantage of the resident to take over his flat.
11:20Cuckooing 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.
11:27If there's reports of it happening within the community, the team have a duty of care to act and safeguard potential victims.
11:38There's recent intelligence about there being machetes and firearms at the address.
11:45However, it doesn't need any specialist officers such as firearms or dogs to attend.
11:49To say Ian's got policing in the blood would be an understatement. Both his mum and dad were on the force.
12:00This boy is blue through and through and proud of it.
12:04Hoping to find from it drugs, cash, burner phones.
12:09The team don't know for certain how many people are inside the flat.
12:13But with reports of potential weapons, they can't take any chances.
12:18So, as we're approaching the address, we'll park out of the way and then we'll walk through.
12:24So, this will hopefully not be seen.
12:30With eight cops on the raid, they hope to have at least strength in numbers.
12:35Someone said they've got the enforcer, haven't they?
12:37And they've got the tools to help with a swift entry.
12:42Door's open.
12:44Yeah.
12:46Even though the front door has been left unlocked, up on the third floor, there's another one.
12:52And because of the intel, the team have got to get through it before anyone inside has a chance to react.
12:57Unfortunately, the lock won't budge.
13:17It's time to unleash the enforcer.
13:20Move away from the door!
13:21Move away from the door!
13:23Move away from the door!
13:24Move away from the door!
13:26Move away from the door!
13:28Move away from the door!
13:30Move away from the door!
13:32Go still!
13:34Stay there!
13:36It's alright, it's alright.
13:38Keep holding.
13:40Sit down and say, mate, it's a warrant.
13:42We'll explain all the men.
13:43You guys want to take a seat in the face, yeah?
13:45Sorry.
13:47Inside the flat, there's one woman, two men, and two dogs.
13:52And, apart from the barking, there's no sign of any resistance.
13:59But one of the officers who stayed outside has spotted something.
14:03What's that?
14:04They said the bag's been thrown out.
14:07While cops are dispatched to retrieve the bag that was tossed from the window,
14:11the rest of the team turn their focus on the flat itself.
14:15Obviously, if there's nothing here, we'll be on our way, obviously.
14:18But we have to search first, don't we? We've got a warrant to search.
14:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good.
14:24Stashed in the lounge are a few bags of what appear to be mushrooms.
14:28There's a load of mushrooms that we've found in there, right?
14:31Yeah.
14:32The man is claiming to use them in a special recipe, but judging by the current state of his frying pan, he's no good at Ramsay.
14:49I like mushrooms, some meatballs, some pecker, some beef, mince, and a nice bowl of nice sauce.
15:00Unfortunately for the bloke, the bag that was chucked from the window has just been located.
15:04You know, what was in the bag?
15:06Oh, it just looks like Kansas, didn't it?
15:09It's more Class Bs, a decent find, but not the big score the team were hoping for.
15:15There's no weapons either, and fortunately no sign of anyone present being the victim of cuckooing.
15:21But there is something here that's ringing alarm bells.
15:27Is that your phone ringing? I'm not too sure.
15:30There's no one's phone, we can have it, can't we?
15:32Get it booked in and find the owner.
15:34The phone and the drugs are being seized.
15:37The landlord is being called to fix the front door, and the three occupants are released for now pending further enquiries.
15:45All in all, a mixed bag for the team.
15:47We didn't find what we were looking for in terms of drugs today, but as we were going in, there was a big bag of cannabis was thrown out the window.
15:57We found some mushrooms.
15:59Typically for us, we're always after crack and heroin.
16:02That's what we really look for.
16:04He uses them for making bolognese.
16:11Although the boys and girls from Operation Revive specialise in proactive policing,
16:17they must also be ready to respond to other incidents at a moment's notice.
16:31It's now Friday.
16:33And Ian and Connor are heading back out in the unmarked.
16:36A call's just come in that's piqued their interest.
16:46Yeah, he's still going up to you believe.
16:49An off-road motorbike has been spotted driving erratically nearby.
16:53There was a bike pulling away, and he's pulled a wheelie all the way down this road.
16:58It's gone straight over, so the cops are just going over that way to see if they can find him.
17:02There's another unit tracking the bike, and they've just clocked him riding into a park.
17:06So the park that he's coming in, is this park here.
17:16Ian and Connor are closing in.
17:19Eyes left, boys.
17:21He's on foot.
17:23The suspect has met up with some other lads in the centre of the park.
17:25I'm going to go down and get him.
17:30Buckle up, folks. We're going off-road.
17:37Go, go, go.
17:41He's running back down towards you.
17:45Fitness fanatic Connor loves the gym, hates drug dealers,
17:49and spends his spare time Thai kickboxing.
17:51So this lad doesn't stand a chance.
17:56Wait, what's up, what's up?
18:01Don't be pretty feverish his drugs act.
18:02Why?
18:03You didn't knock him out.
18:05Why, you just see the wheelie.
18:07You're over the road.
18:08Get our hand up now.
18:10Guys, how's your stress?
18:12Drugs in this area.
18:13Wired man off for a motorbike.
18:15Dangerously.
18:17You've met up with a group of people in the park.
18:19Don't see the police.
18:21You're immediately met up on foot.
18:23Let's get him moved to the side if you want.
18:25Yeah.
18:27He's been nicked by Connor and two other cops simultaneously,
18:31and is apparently no stranger to the procedure.
18:34His name?
18:36I just got out of the cell yesterday.
18:38They've got the man and the machine.
18:41Yeah, they've got one detained.
18:43Got the bike.
18:44The off-road bikes in Corby are a massive, massive problem.
18:47So, if it's one more off the road, it's one more off the road.
18:50No one got hurt.
18:53And, as it turns out, this lad was well worth breaking a sweat for.
18:57As he's run, we've locked him up for dangerous driving and then doing the search on him.
19:04He's got a load of drugs as well.
19:06The lad's been found with what is suspected to be a quantity of cocaine.
19:11So, he'll be arrested for the pee-wits.
19:15He'll be arrested for the dangerous driving, as they saw him pulling the wheelies.
19:20He'll be taken to custody.
19:22I think he's just been released from custody, they were saying.
19:24So, straight out, straight back in again.
19:27The bike, once Connor's hauled it back up to the road, is being seized.
19:31And 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.
19:45You get so many underage dealers now.
19:48You know, a lot of the gangs use them because they know they're under 18 and they're not going to get treated the same way an adult would.
19:53You know, we've had runners as young as 11, 12 deals because, from a policing point of view, they're hard to deal with because they're generally vulnerable.
20:04And we have to look at them as a victim and a suspect at the same time.
20:07It's balancing it.
20:10The cocaine seized was estimated to have a street value of nearly 1,500 quid.
20:15The biker boy pleaded guilty to possession of class A's with intent to supply, as well as the driving offences.
20:21He was banned for 31 months and had to pay £222 in costs.
20:27At the house raid earlier on, the men admitted possessing class B drugs, but the matter was settled out of court with community orders.
20:35No action was taken against the woman.
20:40Still to come.
20:42Can you ask this lady, has she had anything to drink that's alcoholic?
20:46Cops beat the language barrier to nick a drunk driver.
20:48You failed this, so you're driving, so we need to go to custody.
20:53And, how fast do you think you were going?
20:5679.
20:58Try 115.
21:00A man in a hurry who refuses to learn his lesson.
21:03You're going to call for this.
21:05At that speed, that's the only option we've got.
21:07Take a deep breath, make a seal around the end of the tube, and then you blow through it until I tell you to stop.
21:23Okay, okay.
21:24Go.
21:26Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, stop.
21:28That's it.
21:30The roadside breathalyser first hit our streets more than 50 years ago.
21:34Okay.
21:36That's given me a reading of 103.
21:38You're under arrest on suspicion of driving America.
21:40Dad! Dad!
21:41I'm getting arrested!
21:43And since that day, annual road deaths have plummeted to just 18% of what they were in the 1960s.
21:50When was your last alcoholic drink?
21:53A couple of months.
21:54I'm a Vodvary, but I'm not.
21:56You think you will be?
21:57Yeah.
21:58But, with around 40,000 drink drivers getting nicked each year, it's clear that for some motorists, the penny still hasn't dropped.
22:06Good morning.
22:08Can you get out?
22:09No.
22:10You can't get out?
22:11I don't know.
22:13Hello.
22:14Hello.
22:19Lots of shouting, arguing.
22:24Bye.
22:27It's Friday evening, mid-summer.
22:30First roundabout, take the right.
22:33Refusing to have their spirits dampened by the unseasonal weather are interceptors Stuart Wilson and Rachel McCready.
22:41So not this right, but the next one.
22:43Experienced cop Stuart is known for his friendly manner and unflappable demeanour.
22:50He's apparently got more patients than an NHS waiting list.
22:56He and Rachel have just been called to an incident in a residential street.
23:01This one.
23:03Where an altercation has apparently erupted between two motorists.
23:08Is this the car?
23:10That's the car.
23:13Hello.
23:19Who called us?
23:21You called us.
23:23So, I've gone to Link's shop just there, yeah?
23:26I'm parked up, I'm just about to reverse out to go.
23:29And she's come zooming round the corner and went to hit me.
23:32So I've stopped, I've reversed.
23:34And then she's carried on and crashed into my car.
23:37My car.
23:38Okay.
23:39The crash happened outside a convenience store nearby.
23:42And after getting bumped, the driver of the black Ford Focus followed the alleged perpetrator to this street.
23:49She's damaged my car.
23:51Where is it?
23:52She drove into, nearly hit three cars on the way out.
23:54She drove into a bush.
23:56Even though I stopped.
23:58But as all cops know, there are two sides to every story.
24:01Unfortunately, Stuart seems to be struggling with the other one.
24:06I'll give you the phone, please.
24:08Okay.
24:09I'm sorry, please.
24:10Can you speak with this husband?
24:13With my husband, can you speak?
24:15Hello.
24:16Hello.
24:17Sorry mate, she doesn't speak any English.
24:19Okay, what language does she speak?
24:21Lithuanian.
24:22Lithuanian.
24:23No worries.
24:24I can get a translator and I can speak to her with the translator.
24:27Okay?
24:28I can help you.
24:29No, no.
24:30I need an independent party.
24:32Because an allegation's been made against her.
24:35Okay?
24:37In the UK, police can call upon a database of specially approved and accredited interpreters
24:42to help break down language barriers at the roadside.
24:47Allegedly, I think this lady's been driving, crashed into someone else.
24:51But yes, she doesn't speak any English.
24:54So it's one of those where we're just trying to piece together and see what happens.
24:59The first question Stuart wants the interpreters help with is a pretty simple one.
25:03Can you ask this lady, has she had anything to drink that's alcoholic?
25:14No, please listen to me.
25:16No, no.
25:17You listen to me.
25:18I listen to you, but I won't understand because I'm shocking.
25:22I'm shocking.
25:23Right.
25:24This lady's shouting at me.
25:25No, no.
25:26Calm down.
25:28Calm yourself down.
25:29I can speak.
25:30I can speak.
25:31The woman is clearly distressed, but she's not answering the question.
25:36So Stuart has to persevere.
25:38Can you ask her again?
25:40Has she had anything to drink in the last 20 minutes?
25:43She's saying that she's in a shock.
25:44She's having a headache.
25:45No, it doesn't matter.
25:46I think she's stalling.
25:47So I'm going to require a sample of breath for analysis at the roadside.
25:48I've already stated that to her.
25:49So without further ado.
25:50Deep breath.
25:51Deep breath.
25:52So that's it.
25:53Keep going.
25:54Keep going.
25:55Keep going.
25:56Keep going.
25:57Keep going.
25:58Stop.
25:59Stop.
26:00Stop.
26:01That's it.
26:02It's done.
26:03Anything over 35 and she's off to the nick.
26:04Okay, so that's come back as a fail.
26:05So the time's 20, 34.
26:06You're under arrest, okay?
26:07For driving whilst over the prescribed limit.
26:08So you don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence.
26:09I've got a translator.
26:14I've got a translator.
26:15I'm trying to listen, take everything on board.
26:16We're trying to communicate with her and I think what she's tried to do is stall and stall
26:19and stall and stall.
26:20And my parents went down.
26:21I think we could be heading down.
26:22So that's all right, I think.
26:23I could be trying to stay with her.
26:24I'm coming up and looking forward.
26:25Keep going, keep going.
26:26Keep going, keep going, keep going.
26:27Stop.
26:28Stop.
26:29Stop.
26:30Stop.
26:31That's it.
26:32Stop.
26:34Stop.
26:35Stop.
26:36Stop.
26:37Stop.
26:38stall and stall and stall the woman's blown 57 well over the legal limit and you can't argue with
26:45a breathalyzer or can you so tell her she's under arrest so she's going to be coming with us now
26:56why so because you failed this so you're driving so we need to go to custody
27:03and do an evidential one of these so you can't make any phone calls or anything right now
27:08we're not going to be able to do anything take no you've just made a phone call end it and put it
27:12away no you can't because you're under because you're under arrest so no the woman will be spending
27:21the rest of her friday evening at the nick and the other driver who has blown zero is free to go
27:30i mean our job is essentially to arrest them and get them into custody and then everything
27:37can be explained in more detail when we get there people do all sorts of weird and wonderful things
27:43to try and delay that process we do need to have a lot of patience mine was starting to run quite thin
27:52when they get back to the station the reality of the past couple of hours appears to catch up with
27:57the driver but after being examined by a healthcare professional she's deemed fit enough to give an
28:05evidential sample of breath i don't believe that this is going to be very easy at all um but yeah just
28:15be patient and i'm sure we'll get there will stewart's legendary patience hold out i just need her to
28:24answer the questions that i'm putting to her i want my phone call and i won't talk to anyone
28:35for 40 minutes she refuses to answer any of stewart's questions i've asked several times i've taken it as
28:44a refusal for the procedure failing to provide is as bad as a fail i can be as patient um with anybody
28:55i will show them respect and dignity and understand the procedures but at some point
29:01um i'm just going to have to call it um and that's what we've done it is frustrating because she could
29:09engage in the process and blow under and then she could walk out and
29:14be absolutely fine but now she's looking at a charge for failing to provide so i'd like to think
29:20that she might learn her lesson and hopefully she has maybe her punishment will do the trick
29:28she pleaded guilty to failing to provide and was slapped with a 20-month driving ban a community order
29:34and fines of almost 200 pounds
29:40speed one zero zero in the five zero it's by far the biggest killer on our roads yeah he's lost a
29:51wheel now he's doing 100 miles an hour on three wheels that's just a long guess and 2.4 million
29:58speeding tickets are issued in the uk every year you've got a speeding conviction already please
30:08if you're lucky you'll only lose your license box on lane three if you're not you could lose something
30:15much more precious crash crash crash vehicles over time
30:19the problem with speeding is the faster you go and the less time you have to react you're decreasing
30:29your chance of being able to react to a situation very recently we went to an address and had to to
30:39say that the person had been killed on the roads and fundamentally it was down to speed it's devastating
30:49for the families it affects the officers who have to go and deliver that news um and
30:57it's such a tragic circumstance which needn't happen if people just reduce their speed
31:11wednesday late shift and interceptors aaron griff griffiths and scott kimberley
31:17are cruising the m6 southbound at around 70 miles an hour
31:23so how fast must that skoda vrs be going griff's in the unmarked 3 series so powers up for a closer look
31:33113 yeah the skoda's clocking triple digits thank you about 110 110 150
31:43nearly half of all drivers break the speed limit on the motorway but this
31:50chap clearly reckons he's king of the road
31:54initially we've sort of clocked it paced it at 113 and now it's uh slowed down to
32:0290 to 100 mark obviously it's just been caught in traffic
32:04back to 100 and increasing
32:12advanced driver griff once saved someone's life at a road traffic accident and received a police
32:17commendation for his heroics
32:19114 this car has seen up close the damage that speeding can do i wonder if this person's just bought
32:31it potentially i mean it's a nice car 69 page brs nice car the sporty skoda brs has a two liter turbocharged
32:41engine but that's no excuse for driving at these speeds looks like i am on the south yeah
32:48rather than deal with him on the hard shoulder the fellas need to find a safe place to pull him over
32:54uh get me to the gap the easy one yeah with the exit for the watford gap services just a mile away
33:01griff makes his move
33:02you give him some lights as well young lad you need to prepare follow me for me yeah i will do
33:12some unmarked cars have an led matrix in the rear window that instructs vehicles behind to follow me
33:19you've got compliance yeah i got near side lovely and he's a name one
33:25all that's left to do now is slowly reel him in yeah he's committed as hoped the skoda's parking
33:34up just outside the services i'll let you have the honest thank you although for the driver this is
33:43unlikely to be a welcome break now driver turn your engine off for me please take your belt off and
33:50jump out if you're happy with that so i can chat to you a bit easier than leaning in then isn't it
33:56putting my head in your car um why is it that i've stopped you i think so just just just a little bit
34:01just i'm not i'm not gonna let you just do a little bit driving just behind and in front in front just
34:05back just make me a little bit down calm calm comfortable to be fair or maybe the insurance just
34:11i bought a car i can prove everything just i don't all the insurance everything sorry okay explain
34:15just so i bought the car right now as far as answers go that was about as clear as a politician's
34:21time for griff to play paxman hey you've just bought the car yes but why is it that i've stopped
34:26you today do you think maybe maybe a little bit speedy a little bit a little bit how fast do you
34:32think you were going 89 79 19. try 115 we've been following you since the m6 yeah i know i see that
34:42but just probably when i when i pass some cars it's true no no you were maintaining that speed
34:48the chat now claims he was only speeding whilst overtaking it's no excuse and griff's decidedly
34:55unimpressed we've followed you for around about 15 miles almost and you have consistently driven
35:03over the speed limit so it's not just once or twice every opportunity you've got you've come back
35:09out into the outside lane and you've put your foot down as fast as you can okay and you then
35:14you're going 110 107 115 you're going to court for this you're going to court for this i want to call
35:21really please at that speed on the motorway that's the only option we've got the bloke's not happy and
35:28to add a little extra salt to the wound griff's just pulled up his driving record you've got six points
35:35for speeding in 2021 speeding in a 50. how fast were you going then out of curiosity 110 or something
35:45110 okay so exactly it was busted doing more than double the speed limit just two years ago so what
35:53would happen if you'd crash tonight it might be that we'd have to go and tell your family that you're
35:56not coming home tonight because you've crashed your car at 100 over 100 miles an hour
36:00i'm thinking about all the other road users that you share the road with to have a license is a
36:05privilege with six points already on his license that privilege is now hanging by a thread keep
36:11going keep going keep going keep going thank you a sample of breath comes back clean and even though
36:17he bought the car this morning he is fully insured that's your license back when you rejoin please
36:25drive the speed limit okay you're you're you're going to drive through another couple of police
36:29force areas i can promise you they're probably not the only one that's probably got an unmarked
36:33car on the motorway but you really need to think about it so with a court summons in the post and a
36:40stern word or two from griff he's free to go and other road users will be hoping that this time
36:46he really has learned his lesson he wanted me not to report him for the speeding because
36:54um 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 but
37:01actually when i you know i put it to him that what would happen if you crashed at that speed
37:06and you then it was then a fatality and you know we have to go and tell your family
37:10for me it is the right choice that a magistrate in court can decide uh what penalty he should face
37:21and he knows that price because he's been there before so he's gonna have to go back there and now
37:26explain why he's back a second time uh for the same offense but at high speed this time
37:33at court the driver admitted speeding and lost his license for six months
37:38he was also ordered to pay a 807 pounds fine and over 400 pounds in costs
37:44maybe this time he's learnt a valuable lesson
37:49still to come i wasn't not going that fast at all then i've gone to overtake i'm thinking of going
37:53straight yeah and then boom a demolition derby but who's to blame man or machine that mountain bike's
38:01probably got better brakes than this
38:11it's sunday afternoon
38:28still bad for me injured come off a motorbike uh the male that once did his name approximately 20
38:36straight and bruised in small amount of blood he's dizzy
38:39reports are coming in of a motorcycle crash on a housing estate on the edge of town
38:44apparently the caller saying he was speeding and lost the control
38:49interceptors keith gaye and michael hollowell are just a couple of miles away
38:53if you pass that to us we'll attend
38:57former london copper michael is not only an advanced motorbike rider but also a keen speed
39:03cyclist when it comes to jobs on two wheels michael's your man
39:08most bike is inside of my wall so he looks badly injured and a young lad saying how much will it cost to
39:15fix it so it may be that the uh lad it may not have insurance and he's asking how much it is to fix it
39:24because uh we shall find that out in a second
39:29that'll be it then at least just arrived
39:34when they get there a local unit is already on the scene
39:37so lucky is what's going on well michael it's not a pretty sight
39:48judging by the state of the wall it's a miracle the motorcyclist is still standing
39:53i wasn't not going that fast at all well you can be down here yeah i was just coming down here right
39:57car's going to pull in here then as i've come down here somebody's met somebody's turned left but
40:02indicated at the last second as they've indicated the last second i've gone to overtake them thinking
40:06they're going straight yeah and then boom the lad swears he wasn't speeding if that's the case
40:12maybe he hasn't committed an offense today at all so your bike registered to you it's been reported
40:20already for a couple of us in my name yeah but i haven't got insurance license tax emergency right
40:25okay oh dear i'm not going to get a bike okay okay well at least he's being honest
40:36yeah so we've um got a young lad here who says that he's um been riding to the speed of the road
40:44and a vehicle's causing to go through a brick wall and into the side of a van
40:48he's admitted i have no insurance tax
40:51or mot so the bike's not fit for the road to go up a curb and to hit a wall and to go through a van
40:57yeah there's got to be a bit of speed involved there's no other vehicle involved so it's all down to
41:02himself so we'll just do some checks that's why i'll check the vehicle to make sure it's a legit
41:06vehicle and fit fit for purpose not only does the bike have no mot but it's riddled with rust and
41:14almost 30 years old you don't see many old bikes like that do you more chrome than plastic
41:20but very unusual older bikes may hold visual appeal but even when they're fully roadworthy
41:26riders should be aware of the potential risks this is an old drum brake so doesn't stop very well
41:34bikes nowadays have disc brakes front and back and probably
41:38double disc front and back as well so much better stopping power than
41:43the old drum bike brakes from years ago that mountain bike's probably got better brakes than this
41:49a harsh but fair assessment
41:55and it looks like the bike isn't the only thing that's battle scarred
41:59injury-wise for you have you got you're holding your arm out funny my shoulders i don't know
42:03can you not lift your shoulder at all i think i've got a bit of whiplash maybe no you're not
42:07you're not moving that i know you're moving my arm like the lad is clearly struggling it's all right
42:12wrong oh my old back now
42:22is it just a bit stiff yeah like it's just muscle i think you're sure yeah
42:28he's putting on a brave face but he'll need to be checked over by paramedics just in case
42:32so a call is put in for an ambulance i am released from here right once we've got all your details
42:38yeah obviously we're going to have to recover the bike the bike unsurprisingly is being seized
42:45and will only be released once the lad can prove he's fully insured and that the bike has been
42:50made completely roadworthy but let's not hold our breath on that last one are you really going to
42:56want that back yeah i'll fix it you sure yeah he's also promised the homeowner he'll pay for the van
43:03and wall repairs out of his own pocket we'll make sure his details are correct yeah and then if you
43:09need those details from us we can give you those yeah yeah all right okay and with that it's pretty
43:14much job done is this the ambulance for him possibly yeah yeah looks like it all the things i hate is
43:22people are not insured you know they need to insure their vehicles it's it's you've got to pay for
43:27that cover you don't if you can't afford it don't ride it and that bike doesn't look like it's fit for
43:31the road and it's got no mot so i'm i'm sort of thinking down the lines of it wouldn't pass no mot
43:39with medical assistance here and local cops happy to stay and tie up any loose ends
43:44for the interceptors it's time to hit the road reflect on a job well done and reminisce about the
43:49good old days my first bike was called a fizzy an fs1e it was a 50 cc god my first bike was a honda c90
44:02plastic plastic chicken yeah red and white yes we used to muck around on them yeah that bike won't
44:08be back on the road i just do hope that um he does uh pay that chap back his uh price to get his van
44:14repaired because if he doesn't i think i think he'll be um looking for him yeah yeah i think so
44:21the bike was never collected and was scrapped the driving without a license or insurance and without a
44:26valid mot the lad had to pay over one thousand six hundred pounds and receive six points
44:42so
44:47you
44:47you
44:49you
44:51you
