00:00Police have some data! Stop!
00:02Driving is making off.
00:04Derbyshire traffic cops.
00:06Pull over in here now!
00:08Might be game on for some of it here.
00:10It's just gone. Go, go, go, go.
00:12Patrol some of the country's most dangerous roads.
00:15Speed is 4-0.
00:17Vehicles all over the road.
00:19Driving head-on.
00:20He's up the kerb.
00:21Into danger.
00:22I just have warning markers for firearms.
00:25Vehicle's stolen.
00:27Get out of the car!
00:28Wow. Gun.
00:29Designed to look like a mobile phone.
00:31Don't pull away, fella.
00:33With rising crime rates.
00:35Here you go, here you go.
00:37Officers are under pressure.
00:38Stop! Get here!
00:40You're doing it!
00:41Come out here now!
00:42You're under arrest.
00:45Police!
00:46With lives on the line.
00:48We're gonna need at least three or four ambulances.
00:51Is it fuel?
00:52Right, move away from this car now!
00:54The stakes are high.
00:56It isn't looking good at the minute.
00:58For the traffic cops.
00:59He's blown 128.
01:00Eleven minutes past two in the afternoon.
01:02You're under arrest.
01:03Suspicion is theft of motor vehicles.
01:04You're under arrest.
01:05Do not run!
01:07Smack the officer!
01:08I never promise!
01:09All right.
01:10Get in, man!
01:11Get in, man!
01:12Get in, man!
01:13Get in, man!
01:14Get in, man!
01:15Get in, man!
01:16Get in, man!
01:17Relax!
01:18Coming up.
01:19Vehicle is out of the road.
01:20Stand by.
01:22Dangerous, illegal drivers.
01:24Riding illegal, then, was we, mate?
01:26Better comment.
01:27That old chestnut, is it?
01:28Risking lives.
01:32Desperate to escape.
01:33Right.
01:34I'm not an idiot.
01:35Carry on.
01:36You're going to get sprayed.
01:37Carry on.
01:38You're going to get sprayed.
01:39You understand?
01:40You're going to get sprayed.
01:41Carry on.
01:42You're going to get sprayed.
01:43Do you understand?
02:10Tonight, we're just on normal routine patrol, really.
02:13Looking for dangerous drivers.
02:15Another phone that, you know, should be on the road.
02:19There are around half a million unlicensed drivers on UK roads.
02:24Traffic cops like Matt Cooling are determined to catch them.
02:29Stand by our units monitoring this channel.
02:31Observations for units in vicinity for a driver.
02:35Controllers at Force HQ monitor the county's network of police cameras,
02:39looking for suspicious vehicles.
02:42I'm getting no trace on a DL.
02:48We've received some intelligence that the Nissan Qashqai is being driven by an unlicensed driver.
02:52I've gone to the area to try and find this vehicle and intercept it.
02:57The driver has a provisional license and hasn't passed his test.
03:04Recent reports reveal that illegal drivers are more likely to be involved in other criminals.
03:08As Matt checks the back streets, a police helicopter joins the search.
03:20It's really handy having access to the police helicopter and the police planes that, you know, assist us in these sorts of scenarios.
03:26The helicopter's camera can cover a larger search area.
03:33And its thermal imaging captures heat from moving vehicles.
03:37It's there ahead of us.
03:38Matt spots the suspect car and closes in.
03:50And A from MPAS 81.
03:52We're overhead.
03:53Got the vehicle on camera.
03:542-1 from 2-9.
03:55Yeah, felt stopped.
03:56That's driver.
03:57Pursuit.
03:58T-5-9 performance fully marked.
03:59Traffic's low, pedestrians are low.
04:00Permission to continue pursuit, please.
04:01From Sierra 2, pursuit authorised.
04:02Continue with the RA.
04:04Straight away, the offending driver's taking me down really, really narrow roads with cars parked either side.
04:22And I'm driving quite a big vehicle.
04:24So, I think he's done that on purpose.
04:27We get the helicopter involved to have an oversight of the pursuit.
04:31And all the time, the risk is being fed back to the control room.
04:35And if they, you know, deem that it's so dangerous, they would actually call the pursuit off.
04:41TRH's low.
04:42Route conditions are wet.
04:44We are left left.
04:49Sentry loss.
04:50As the suspect's car disappears from Matt's view.
04:53It's gone right, right at the end.
04:56The helicopter keeps track.
04:59Vehicle went onto High Street.
05:01It's currently on High Street.
05:08Still out of my view.
05:11Due to just crossing over the M1 now.
05:15Yeah, understood.
05:16It's done.
05:19I've regained our home in the distance.
05:22Stand by. So, right, right immediately before the motorway bridge.
05:26Right.
05:28I've got this chap now driving at his speed.
05:29Over speed bumps, which ultimately is going to cause a loss of control.
05:33With the driver reaching over 50 miles an hour in a 30.
05:38Yeah, it's got some ground up in there due to its speed.
05:41I'm going to have a hope since it's far too fast at 30.
05:45No, I understand.
05:46Thank you for opening me and we'll take it from here.
05:50Matt backs off from the pursuit.
05:51Yeah, from Ampas it's a continuation on High Street.
05:56But gets updates from the helicopter so he can pursue from a safe distance.
06:02Which direction is it going? Which town is it going towards?
06:05Down towards Newton at the moment.
06:07He's obviously intent on getting away, but we've got the helicopter above us watching him.
06:11Hey mate, can you look at where this vehicle's walking to be headed?
06:16The vehicle now, right, right, right to right, up to Forge Bridgely. Forge Bridgely.
06:22With guidance from above.
06:25Yeah, that's normal to the next step forward.
06:28You carry on that way, I'll go south normal to the right.
06:31An armed response unit joins the pursuit.
06:36Just entering the built-up area now.
06:37And tries to get ahead of the fleeing driver.
06:41So, right, it's left, left. Left, left.
06:447-2, this is going to be towards other than a second.
06:48Are you behind it, though, yeah?
06:50It's probably about 400 yards out of me.
06:52With Matt rejoining the pursuit from behind,
06:55the armed response officers try to head off the suspect car.
06:5810-A, contact, contact with the vehicle.
07:04Road conditions are wet.
07:06The vehicle's on over the road. Stand by.
07:13Flash, flash, flash.
07:17Show me on!
07:18What are you doing?
07:20Got his arm?
07:22Yeah.
07:23Got his arm?
07:24Yeah.
07:26Keys out, keys out.
07:29What are you doing? Why don't you just let me get out?
07:31You know what, it's a lot easier.
07:33As officers struggle with the driver, Matt arrives to help.
07:38Mate, carry on, you're going to get sprayed.
07:41Carry on, you'll get sprayed, you understand?
07:42Listen, I...
07:43The driver's only got a provisional driving licence, and...
07:47It just angers me that that's potentially the reason why he's failed to stop.
07:52Put your handbrake on.
07:53Is the handbrake on?
07:55All he needed to do, you know, was stop, face the consequences,
08:00and we wouldn't be in the situation that we're in.
08:02Do you want to just turn our sounds off before we open it, or just...
08:04Give me a hand.
08:05So you can hear our sounds.
08:06You what?
08:07I'm not going to go now.
08:08Well, you've already tried to, haven't you?
08:10Open it all in a bit before, yeah.
08:12All right, out you come.
08:13Don't be stupid.
08:15Are you hands behind your back?
08:16Well, you're under arrest, mate, at the minute, for failing to stop for police.
08:19Have you got a driving licence?
08:20No.
08:21You got one at all?
08:22All right.
08:24More units arrive to assist.
08:27Look at all this.
08:29For this, for one thing.
08:31You've always got to sort of, you know, in the back of your mind
08:33that there's probably something else going on when people don't stop.
08:36All right, just wait there, wait one second.
08:38Yeah.
08:39We've identified that there's document offences, but I'm also thinking, well,
08:42you know, is he a drink driver?
08:43Is he a drug driver?
08:44Is he a drug driver?
08:45And there might even be another offence that's been committed that I'm not aware of.
08:48How old are you?
08:4929.
08:50You're not injured?
08:51There's more than that here, isn't there?
08:52I know there is.
08:54Hello?
08:55Hey.
08:56Are you injured? Are you OK?
08:57I'm all right.
08:58OK.
09:01Because of the suspect's reckless driving...
09:03All right, grab a seat in there.
09:04Mind your head.
09:05...Matt tests him for drugs.
09:07When a drug wipe is, make sure you're not under the influence of drugs,
09:10namely cannabis or cocaine.
09:12This takes eight minutes to come back, though, eh?
09:14OK, start rubbing the tongue around the inside of your mouth for me.
09:17And then when you're ready, blob your tongue out, please.
09:20On the other side, please.
09:23As Matt waits for the results, the car is searched.
09:27May I just present you, Exhibit A?
09:29Oh, all right.
09:30All right.
09:31Whilst I've been dealing with the driver,
09:33another officer discovered a bag of white powder
09:36that, effectively, would have been at the feet of the driver.
09:38And, you know, again, that clearly then is one of the other reasons
09:41why he's done what he's done.
09:42They just don't hit your car, is they?
09:44I realise it's, like, stripped down.
09:46I think the first thing that stood out to me is the state of the inside of it,
09:49you know, in a real shed of a vehicle.
09:52Got your phone?
09:53It's loose and loose off.
09:54You're further under arrest now,
09:55possession of a controlled substance.
09:58All right.
09:59Just find a bag of white powder next to the driver's seat.
10:01You've got no...
10:03I'm not sitting in this car like this.
10:06Get me a van.
10:08Get me a van.
10:09With evidence stacking up against the driver,
10:12he becomes increasingly agitated.
10:14Hey, Tango 36.
10:15We're going to need a van for transportation.
10:17We can't transport him.
10:18It's not safe.
10:19Get me a van.
10:20Get me a van.
10:21Just relax.
10:22Get me a van.
10:23You can't, mate.
10:24Get me a van.
10:25Get me a van.
10:26Get me a van.
10:27Get me a van.
10:28Get me a van.
10:29Oh, we are doing it.
10:30Get me a van.
10:31Get me a van.
10:32Well, get him on.
10:33Just chill out, then.
10:34Well, you've already tried to fight with us, mate, so...
10:37You have tried to already fight with us.
10:38So, just lean there.
10:39You'll be more comfortable.
10:40Just check his drug wipe.
10:41It's in the centre console.
10:42Positive for cocaine.
10:43Straight line with cannabis, but more problems with cocaine.
10:44Right.
10:45The driver tests positive for cocaine and, you know, I think that probably goes then some
10:50way to explain how he's behaving and why he was so up and down.
10:53You're further under arrest on suspicion of a dry master of a prescribed limit?
10:54Yeah, yeah.
10:55I understand, mate.
10:56As well, OK.
10:57You understand?
10:58Get up.
10:59Right.
11:00Are you going to walk sensibly?
11:01Yeah.
11:02Right, come on, then, young'un.
11:03Shed.
11:04There we are.
11:05Can't let me go in?
11:06Come on, then.
11:07I'm watching your head.
11:08When it then comes to, you know, putting him in the van...
11:11I can do it, Miss Hen, you know?
11:12I'm not...
11:13Come on, then.
11:14Do you know what I mean?
11:15Right.
11:16All right.
11:17Why should I?
11:18He decides to kick off again and don't want to go in it.
11:20What?
11:21What?
11:22What?
11:23What?
11:24What?
11:25What?
11:26What?
11:27What?
11:28What?
11:29What?
11:30What?
11:31What?
11:32What?
11:33What?
11:34Don't be silly.
11:35Just get in.
11:36What do you mean, don't be silly?
11:37Just get in.
11:38Why?
11:39I just find it frustrating.
11:40You try and be accommodating.
11:41You try and be right with people.
11:43Erm...
11:44But, unfortunately, you know, this is what happens when people are under the influence of stuff.
11:48Get in.
11:49I've been in much.
11:51No.
11:52All right.
11:53Turn in right, then.
11:54I'll drag you there.
11:55All right.
11:56Come on.
11:57Right.
11:58What are you doing?
11:59You missed the bow.
12:00What?
12:01You're getting the bow.
12:02What?
12:03You're doing either, though.
12:04Yeah.
12:05Yeah.
12:06Yeah.
12:07Yeah.
12:08Look how many of you do?
12:09Yeah.
12:10Yeah.
12:11Yeah.
12:12Yeah.
12:13Yeah.
12:14Look how many of you do?
12:16Wait, wait, wait.
12:17Wait, wait, wait.
12:18Wait, wait, wait.
12:19Wait.
12:20I'm gonna gas you in a minute.
12:21Eh?
12:22I'm gonna gas you.
12:23I'm gonna gas you.
12:24What?
12:25No, we're not gonna make a bunch of difference, is it?
12:26Well, it is, because we can transport you, then, safely.
12:27So, shift your foot out of the way.
12:28Argh!
12:29The driver is already serving a 12-week suspended sentence and now faces prison time.
12:44Ridiculous.
12:45He'll be taken to the police station and questioned.
12:50He's looking at a number of offences now, based on what's happened.
12:53You know, we're looking at dangerous driving.
12:55We're looking at driving otherwise in accordance with the licence.
12:58We're looking at no insurance.
13:00Possession of Class A substance.
13:03Er, and driving whilst over the prescribed limit as well.
13:12Coming up.
13:13A side street smash.
13:15So, he's got a broken left, Tim and Febbersy.
13:18Leaves a suspected illegal biker.
13:21Where's your bike gone?
13:22Gone?
13:23I don't know.
13:24That old chestnut, is it?
13:25In need of urgent medical care.
13:27Help me, please.
13:29And?
13:30He's got a driving licence.
13:31An unlicensed driver.
13:33No insurance.
13:34No.
13:35With something to hide.
13:36Empty barrels of fuel.
13:37And then we've got the federal made siphoning kit, look.
13:40A bit bouncy.
13:55On the outskirts of Derby, traffic cops Jack Pressland and Devon Scarborough are looking for an illegal driver.
14:10Do you want me to go right or left?
14:11No, straight on.
14:12Straight on.
14:21Do you have any units that can start making their way to an RTC just occurred in Derby?
14:26Jack and Devon are the closest officers to the accident, so divert to the urgent call.
14:32Received.
14:33We're only four minutes there.
14:34Flew in it.
14:35You can make a bit of progress.
14:37So, we're just going to reports of a one-vehicle motorcycle RTC potential serious injuries,
14:49but the motorcycle's talking, so we'll assess that when we get there.
14:53Allegedly, his brakes have failed.
14:57The location is known to the police as a hotspot for youths riding illegal bikes.
15:04I've seen clips and reels on social media where people are wheelspinning, donutting.
15:12They're bragging about it day to day.
15:15As they approach the scene, more details come in from control.
15:20Caller is claiming male.
15:22It's a bad way.
15:24Central broken left.
15:26Sounds a bit gruesome.
15:31I'm going to speak to the ambulance, see what we've got.
15:38Bert, you go find the bike, Devon.
15:40Yeah.
15:46Hello, mate.
15:47How are you?
15:48Better than you.
15:49Tweet that gasp.
15:50The rider's foot is badly broken.
15:51Where's your helmet?
15:52Or did you not have one?
15:53Because if these need it.
15:54Right.
15:55Oh, yeah.
15:56No comment.
15:57No comment.
15:58Nothing open fracture or anything though?
15:59Not that we can see it at the minute.
16:00Not that we can see it at the minute.
16:01Not that we can see it at the minute, Stephen.
16:02He's broken his leg, but he's got nothing open fracture, wounds or anything like that.
16:21Where's your bike gone?
16:23It's gone, I don't know.
16:24No, it's that old chestnut, is it?
16:27Riding illegal then, was we, mate?
16:29No comment.
16:30With the bike missing...
16:32Am I detained?
16:34Jack suspects the young casualty may have been riding illegally.
16:38I need a lawyer.
16:39Oh, yeah.
16:40You will need a lawyer, yeah, in due course, mate.
16:42You won't talk to me while my lawyer's lying.
16:45Uh-uh.
16:46I'm definitely not going to talk to you while you hires the kites off that, pal.
16:54As the suspect is given strong pain relief...
16:59You got a mobile number for your lad?
17:01I'll get it off you.
17:02His dad arrives at the scene.
17:04He's obviously going to have to be interviewed later on in due course.
17:07Obviously, he's come off a motorbike.
17:09Somebody's removed the bike.
17:10He's riding illegal.
17:11We'll sort all that out at a later time.
17:15Have I got to go to court?
17:16Yeah, you probably will have, mate, yeah.
17:18Oh, no comment.
17:19I think you've got a lot worse to worry about, my friend.
17:26Help me, please.
17:28We're down the road here.
17:31For me, it's important to get these people off the road.
17:33They're in danger.
17:34They're likely to kill somebody or seriously.
17:36harm somebody.
17:38And it's just, at the end of the day, going to end in disaster.
17:41And unfortunately, it's my role to go and pick that disaster up.
17:48So he's got a broken left tib and fib, is he?
17:50It's up to the bottom.
17:51Just above the ankle.
17:52It's gone.
17:53It is open.
17:54Both the toe and ankle are open.
17:55Only slightly.
17:56Yeah.
17:57Right.
17:58But nothing life-threatening or changing.
17:59Not that we can see it in the minute.
18:01No worries.
18:02Dad, you need to obviously educate them about illegal motorbike riding because I'm sick of picking people up off at roads that's doing this round here, yeah?
18:10You're riding an illegal motorbike and you've caused yourself a bit of an injury.
18:22This young gentleman's obviously been riding illegal.
18:25His bike's disappeared.
18:27Everyone obviously in the community thinks it's funny.
18:30It's not funny.
18:31So he'll go to hospital.
18:33He'll get treated and we'll deal with him later on.
18:35He'll get prosecuted.
18:36We'll get the evidence and he'll have his day in court, which is what he clearly needs.
18:41I can't.
18:42I'll drink like a baby at hand.
18:46As the suspect is put in an ambulance.
18:49I'm trying to have a look at the camera.
18:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:52Devon looks for any houses that might have CCTV.
18:57Do you want me to pull him up when you sport the leg?
18:59I'm not touching that leg.
19:01No, lift it up, mate.
19:04Come here.
19:05Ready?
19:06One, two, three.
19:07Oh!
19:08That's it.
19:09Lights off, man.
19:10Oh!
19:11Oh!
19:12Oh!
19:13Oh!
19:14Oh!
19:15Oh!
19:16Oh!
19:17Oh!
19:18Oh!
19:19Oh!
19:20Oh!
19:21Oh!
19:22Oh!
19:23Oh!
19:24Oh!
19:25Oh!
19:27Oh!
19:28Oh!
19:29Oh!
19:30Oh!
19:31Oh!
19:32Oh!
19:33Oh!
19:34Her cameras work.
19:36With CCTV of the incident secured...
19:39It's good down here.
19:43Devon and Jack head back to the station to review the footage.
19:47That was one broken ankle.
19:49So we've got the CCTV from where the incident happened, you can hear a bike now coming in.
20:18It's not very often that we'll get quad bikes. I expect it to be a motorbike or a moped.
20:24Although not illegal to ride a quad bike on the road, with no insurance and no licence, he could face prosecution.
20:32He's in the middle of the road, he's just driving like an absolute idiot.
20:37He's got his leg out, he's got no helmet on, he's got no protective equipment at all, he's going quite quick.
20:44It's an uneven road.
20:48The incident occurred at this top of the junction.
20:56Somehow he's crashed on a straight piece of road, he's not stopped from the junction, a car could have been coming out from either direction.
21:06It could have ended a lot nastier than a broken leg, but he's lucky.
21:14The evidence is quite key there. It shows one person on a mini moto quad bike.
21:22So we'll use this and put it in an interview and see what he's got to say about it.
21:28The quad bike's clearly gone prior to our arrival, so we've got some more footage, we're just going to have a look and see where that goes and who takes it.
21:38And there you can see one of his mates clearly pushing the motor bike, more than likely back home.
21:48It's part and parcel of the offence and obviously they've helped him now get rid of key evidence.
21:54It's still going to be quite difficult to prove who he is.
21:58However, if we do, we could look at offences such as assisting an offender.
22:02So there's still a few lines of inquiry, but we'll dig deep and crack on with it.
22:08So, you know, all units, be aware there's a report coming in of a vehicle involved in theft of fuel.
22:24Anyone's able to start making the way?
22:26Yes, yes.
22:30With thousands of vehicles on the roads linked to crime,
22:33Catching them is a daily challenge for traffic cops like P.C. Craig Dawes.
22:43The car's been picked up on police cameras.
22:52We've been able to establish an approximate location where the vehicle might be headed.
22:55Myself and other units have positioned itself around the area
22:58to see if we could spot the vehicle.
23:03Saying he turns up at night time with...
23:06Thanks for Patrick.
23:09If it's involved in thefts, I'll look around.
23:12It's just real estate.
23:15We're just sat up waiting, really. Just a waiting game.
23:23Is that it?
23:26That's a Suzuki, isn't it?
23:31Is that it?
23:33Was it a city trip?
23:38Can I go to 2, 3, 10, 15, please?
23:40Just having a look.
23:44Yeah, correct vehicle.
23:46Yeah, that's the one we've been after, ain't it? I'll stop it.
23:50Any other units?
23:51How are you doing? You all right?
23:52As I go behind the vehicle, it pulls up of its own accord outside the address that we'd linked it to.
24:07Straight away, both occupants exit the vehicle. That's normally an indication that there's something not quite right straight away.
24:12Is it your car?
24:13Yeah.
24:14Is it? Just wait there for me.
24:15You've got a driving licence?
24:16I don't know.
24:17No insurance?
24:18No.
24:20Come and take a seat in my car.
24:21When somebody's quick to tell us that they've got no licence, no insurance, it's normally a way of getting us away from other things.
24:33Go on, get in.
24:35Your centres are straight up.
24:40What are you doing in that car?
24:41Me?
24:42Yeah.
24:43Just getting my McDonald's and my money.
24:45Got my money?
24:46That's it.
24:47I'll not keep you too long for your McDonald's.
24:53Empty barrels of fuel.
24:57Coming up...
24:58Where have we been nicking diesel from then?
24:59I don't know.
25:00With the driver suspected of stealing fuel...
25:03It smells a bit strong, that does.
25:06Cops find more potential evidence of theft.
25:09Who's with these?
25:13If you haven't got your policy, then I'm taking your car.
25:16And a young driver pays a heavy price for driving illegally.
25:20He's a young chancer. His car's coming with me.
25:34Come and take a seat in my car.
25:37In Chesterfield, traffic cop Craig Dawes...
25:40Go on, get in.
25:41...is dealing with an illegal driver...
25:45...suspected of stealing fuel.
25:47Yeah.
25:52Empty barrels of fuel.
25:57He's got the barrels there for theft of fuel. He stinks a bit.
25:59And then we've got the hose pipe and everything here.
26:02That homemade siphoning kit, look.
26:05As soon as you start smelling that kind of smell...
26:07...and, you know, you notice in the back the drums...
26:10...it's clear to us what they've been up to.
26:13Where have we been nicking diesel from then?
26:14I am, mate.
26:16Have we got you before you've nicked it?
26:17I don't nick it, mate.
26:18You don't?
26:19What do you do with it then?
26:20Because it smells a bit strong, that does.
26:22You obviously sold it to pay for your McDonald's...
26:24...and that's where our money is.
26:29Here.
26:31You all right?
26:33Traffic cop Adam Shipley arrives to assist.
26:36I don't know where it's going to come from...
26:37...but they're knocking around building sites.
26:39So it's going to be from the machinery and stuff.
26:43I don't know.
26:44There's no fuel in it.
26:45Check them all.
26:46Not today.
26:48The female passenger is denying she's done anything wrong.
26:51We've just been to...
26:52...macking.
26:54I think your missus is upset.
26:56I've really gone upset for a season of McDonald's for...
26:59...proceeds of crime.
27:02Where am I going then? I'm ripping it.
27:04They made it a moment.
27:06I can't say that I will lock you up.
27:07What's the necessity of lock you up at the moment?
27:09The containers are empty.
27:11So there's no proof the man's been committing theft.
27:14You're going to be prosecuted for driving motor vehicle,
27:17otherwise in accordance with the licence,
27:19and then drive a motor vehicle on a road without third-party insurance.
27:27From an A.
27:28At control, there's an update.
27:30Mail is also showing outstanding wanted for theft.
27:34Thank you, no problem.
27:38Hold on.
27:39Vehicle's been involved with theft a few days ago.
27:43A thousand pounds worth of gardening tools.
27:46The man is wanted in connection with a recent burglary.
27:48So, this time you are going to be arrested on suspicion of theft.
27:53You should manage to under caution so you don't have to say anything but it may have any offence.
27:57Yeah.
27:59And I ask Tango 23.
28:01Cut.
28:03You've got a North East unit in the van.
28:05We've got a male under arrest, suspicion of theft, compliant, no issues.
28:08Just smells a little bit of diesel.
28:09Yes, yes, we do.
28:11Bet, I'm going to get you that, just so you don't make me new car smell anymore.
28:17The car and its contents will be seized.
28:20I bet you don't charge 140 a litre, do you?
28:24Do you do nectar points, though?
28:26Oh, God.
28:27You all right?
28:31You all right?
28:32So, our friend here is wanted for theft.
28:36The suspect will be questioned at custody about the stolen garden tools.
28:44Through he's been arrested, it incitles us then to obviously search where he's been arrested.
28:49It's important that we try and recover any evidence that we've got before it's sold on.
28:55A search of a property linked to the couple gets under way.
29:01There's a stream right here.
29:07Who's are these?
29:09No, I'm not.
29:11Are they?
29:13No, I don't know.
29:15Right.
29:16I'd sack him then.
29:18You've got strimmers and everything, haven't you?
29:19But you've got long grass.
29:21Why are you taking that?
29:23Because that vehicle's been involved in a theft.
29:26Has it?
29:27A load of garden tools was taken.
29:30Really?
29:32What we might do, rather than arrest you on a Friday, you're going to have your details taken to come in at a later date.
29:40I have not done anything.
29:43While the car is recovered, Craig secures the evidence.
29:47Quite a decent job, isn't it?
29:49Yeah, I'm no green-fingered expert myself, but you've got some decent matching tools here that I'm having's worth a pound or two.
30:00The IT systems that we've got at our disposal now allows us to have real-time information on vehicles, so if we see them or they're in our vicinity, we've got the ability then to quickly stop them.
30:14If we find one problem, it will then lead to a second, a third, a fourth.
30:23Like a glove.
30:25Hopefully we'll be able to reunite some owner with the garden tools.
30:30Asuka Tango, one-zero, I can assist.
30:49With around half a million uninsured drivers on UK roads.
30:55Let's go down into Derby and see what we've got.
30:59Traffic cops, like PC Rich Morris, are always on the lookout.
31:03Attention.
31:05PNC action.
31:07Near Derby city centre, Rich's in-car computer alerts him to a suspicious car.
31:13Go ahead.
31:16This has got a PNC app report.
31:21Vehicle is currently showing no insurance.
31:25Interesting.
31:31Just getting it stopped now.
31:34No worries, thank you.
31:35You all right, mate?
31:43Is it your car?
31:45Just give me the keys a minute, dude.
31:47How long you had this car for?
31:49Two weeks.
31:50Two weeks, all right.
31:52Have you got an insurance document for this vehicle?
31:55It's not hot, not hot.
31:57Have you got anything on your phone for your insurance?
31:59No.
32:00It's always on your phone?
32:01No, it's a trader's policy.
32:03But you haven't got it?
32:04No.
32:06Mate, if you haven't got your policy, then I'm taking your car.
32:10He's got a Golf R.
32:12That's a lot of car.
32:14It's a high-powered vehicle.
32:16And the insurance on that would be phenomenal for a young driver.
32:19It's on a trader, sir.
32:21What? You're telling me that?
32:22Show me a policy.
32:24It's my friend's business.
32:26It's on a car rental.
32:28Well, it's your car.
32:31You can't do that, mate.
32:32You can't just add your car to somebody's policy
32:36just for you to drive around in.
32:39The motor trade policy is generally owned by the owner of a company
32:44that has got several vehicles that are driven by different members of staff
32:49to do with that company.
32:50And what will happen is you'll get some white boy,
32:54he will offer his mates,
32:56oh, give me a couple of hundred quid,
32:57I'll put you on my trader's policy.
32:59You just say that you're on this policy.
33:02I do have an insurance.
33:04Right, so I'm supposed to just take your word for that?
33:05No, I do. I can show you.
33:07Well, show me that.
33:09It's your responsibility to have any documentation required when you're stocked.
33:14You can't provide me proof of insurance.
33:17I want some proof that that person that is on that trader's policy
33:22has actually got some link to that company
33:24because if you've got no links to it,
33:26you have no reason whatsoever to be on that policy
33:30and I'm not being funny, that's not happening
33:32and your vehicle's coming with us.
33:33And what I'll advise you further is if you lie to me
33:37and you get done for pervert the course of justice,
33:40you will end up going to prison.
33:42So how are you part of that business?
33:44He's taking a chance with his friend's trader's policy.
33:48You're not going to get away with it.
33:50It's not important.
33:52You're not?
33:54Mate, you've got a car like this and you haven't got insurance.
33:56It's ridiculous.
33:57I didn't trust a thing that he said or did anyway
34:03after the interaction that I'd had with him.
34:05So I do have the power to use the vehicle.
34:07OK mate, you do not have to say anything but it may harm your fence
34:11if you do not mention now something we tell you to run in court
34:15and if you do say I may be given evidence, do you understand that?
34:17You can go out and buy whatever car you want
34:20but you've got to be able to insure it, tax it, MOT it
34:24and if you can't do that, I suggest that you maybe shouldn't be driving a car like that.
34:32Right, what I'm going to do now is I'm going to fill out some paperwork
34:35that explains how you get the car back, right?
34:38What was the point?
34:40It's six points and a fine.
34:45He's been driving less than two years
34:47so he's looking at getting banned now from driving.
34:49So he's going to have to go to court.
34:51Is that my problem?
34:52No, sounds a bit harsh but you know what?
34:56If he'd gone, had an accident, injured somebody
34:59he'd be going to prison now.
35:01So, no, I don't apologise for it.
35:05As Rich wraps up, the driver tries to prove he's insured.
35:12Show me the policy. I asked you to show me a policy, you didn't have one.
35:14Where's the email? This has come on, mate.
35:15God, I took this policy out because I thought the traders was going to be alright. I took this out of security.
35:27Nobody tells us the truth, so you know straight away.
35:32That's come through on an email, hasn't it?
35:34Yeah.
35:35Right, so go back into your emails and show me the date and the time that that email was sent.
35:39That's what I want to see.
35:40It won't show up.
35:44It won't show up? No.
35:45I'm not interested then.
35:47Don't even try pulling the wool over my eyes, mate.
35:50No.
35:52Somebody's created that for you, haven't they?
35:54Yeah.
35:55Right, I'm not an idiot.
35:57Carry on and I'm going to arrest you for perverting the course of justice.
36:00I've told you about that, you go to prison for him.
36:03Don't be ridiculous, mate.
36:06Now go away.
36:08He's trying to provide me with a fraudulent, made-up copy of a policy.
36:13I'm not buying that.
36:15I don't know how nearly he thinks I am at this game, but I'm certainly not.
36:20And it's going to take better than him, than that, to pull the wool over my eyes.
36:23Each year, around 120,000 uninsured drivers have their vehicles seized.
36:34And about a third of them end up crushed.
36:37Another one, got a high-powered car, and don't want to pay for his insurance.
36:42So, it is what it is.
36:44His car's coming with me.
36:54Coming up.
36:56What do you do it?
36:57An illegal rider.
36:59What happens if you get squashed by a lorry?
37:01Puts their life at risk.
37:03You can't have this, you can't have it.
37:05So, that comes with me.
37:07On a busy road at night.
37:09It's going to get crushed.
37:11Sorry, mate.
37:24Yeah, I get this.
37:26In Derby, traffic cop Rich Morris is back on patrol, when he spots an e-scooter on one of the city's busiest roads.
37:45What are you doing?
37:47Sorry, I don't know how to go.
37:53I don't know if this is my first time.
37:59You can't be riding these on a road.
38:02Really?
38:03No, you can't.
38:05I'm new to Derby, so I don't know about that.
38:08Listen.
38:09Okay.
38:10Under the road traffic act, you cannot be riding this on a road.
38:13Okay, so...
38:15That, comes with me now. You can't have it.
38:18Okay, shall I go in cab?
38:19No.
38:20No.
38:21This...
38:22Is now...
38:23Come in with me.
38:26You'd at least expect her to have some kind of lights on the scooter,
38:30and maybe have some kind of high-vis jacket on.
38:33It's an unlit part of the road, and she wasn't visible at all.
38:38Do you have a driving licence?
38:39I have a driving licence, Indian driving licence.
38:43This is my first time, and even I don't know.
38:46Right, listen.
38:48Really, you should be getting into trouble
38:51under the road traffic act, because you can't have this.
38:53You can't have it.
38:54So, that comes with me.
38:56Unless you're part of a scheme within a city,
39:00you can't get insurance on them.
39:02It's simple as that.
39:04They're not legal to ride on the road.
39:07I came from Birmingham.
39:08I used to drive over there, but I don't know here...
39:12Just stand by.
39:15It is not legal to do it there.
39:16The fact is that nobody stopped her while she's riding that e-scooter there.
39:20That's the problem.
39:22But how can I travel daily from my workplace today?
39:26There is no transportation here, you know?
39:30Where do you work?
39:31In the transportation, it's really been difficult for me to daily...
39:36And my half of my side is going in my cars.
39:40You need to get a pedal cycle.
39:43What?
39:44A bicycle.
39:45That's an e-scooter.
39:47Okay, listen.
39:48Okay, I will not ride this again.
39:50No, that's coming with me.
39:52But, what I should be doing, right?
39:54I should be putting you before the magistrate's court,
39:57where you get points on your licence and you get a big fine.
40:01But, I'm not going to do that, because believe it or not,
40:05I am quite nice.
40:06I'm just going to take your scooter.
40:11First time I have taken onto the road today.
40:14And I have been caught.
40:17Derbyshire police seized nearly 500 e-scooters this year
40:22as part of a county-wide clampdown.
40:27What happens if you get squashed by a lorry?
40:29So, lots of lorries use this road.
40:32You've got no lights on here.
40:34You're wearing a black jacket.
40:36So, what if they just run over you and squashed you?
40:39Listen, there's your paperwork.
40:41What I need to do?
40:43You don't need to do anything.
40:45You can't have it anymore.
40:46Really?
40:47Yeah.
40:49Sorry, mate.
40:52It's going to get crushed.
40:54Crushed?
40:55Yeah.
40:57It's going to crush?
40:58Yeah.
40:59Why?
41:01Did I feel sympathy? Yes.
41:03But, unfortunately, the lorry's law,
41:05and if I just let her go with the scooter,
41:07she would have used it again.
41:10With the rider free to go,
41:12I'm glad you bought me a massive truck for this.
41:15Yeah, I know.
41:17Recovery arrives.
41:19Paperwork's in there, dude.
41:22People just see these for sale in shops.
41:25They don't think of the implications when they buy them,
41:27and if you're going to spend money on something,
41:29you're going to use it on a road,
41:31you need to ensure that you can legally ride it on a road.
41:34There you go, dude.
41:35I think that's done.
41:38What?
41:39What?
41:40Unlicensed drivers are responsible for causing nearly one in ten
41:53of all motoring offences.
41:57They are a massive problem to the public.
41:59They've not been tested.
42:00They don't have the required knowledge to drive that vehicle on the road.
42:04But also if they damage property or seriously hurt somebody,
42:08they've got no insurance cover in place.
42:10The punishments aren't severe enough, in my opinion.
42:16People continue to commit these offences,
42:18but we're out there on a day-to-day basis
42:20trying to remove them from the roads.
42:24Dealing with some of these people,
42:26you can just tell that they just don't care about what they've done.
42:28The next day they'll be back out doing it again.
42:30It's just so frustrating.
42:35In this episode...
42:37Flash, flash, flash.
42:38The driver who crashed following a high-speed pursuit...
42:42Keys out, keys out.
42:44..was charged with dangerous driving,
42:46failing to stop,
42:48driving without a licence and no insurance.
42:51You got a driving licence?
42:52No.
42:53You got one at all?
42:54Right.
42:55He was disqualified from driving for three and a half years
42:59and sentenced to 12 months in prison.
43:01You got it.
43:03No action was taken for any of the suspected drug offences.
43:09It could have ended a lot nastier than a broken leg.
43:12The man who was badly injured after crashing his quad bike...
43:16Riding illegal then, was we, mate?
43:17No comment.
43:19..was reported to court for driving without due care and detention,
43:22driving without a licence and no insurance.
