00:00...cops...
00:01Pull over in here now!
00:03Might be game on for some of it here.
00:05It's just gone. Go, go, go, go!
00:07...patrol some of the country's most dangerous roads.
00:11Speed is 4-0. The vehicle's all over the road.
00:14...driving head-on...
00:15He's up the kerb.
00:16...into danger.
00:17I just have warning markers for the firearms.
00:20Vehicle's done!
00:21Get out of the car!
00:23Wow, good!
00:24Designed to look like a mobile phone.
00:26Don't pull away, fella!
00:28With rising crime rates...
00:31...officers are under pressure.
00:33Stop! Get out of here!
00:35You're doing it!
00:36Come out of here now!
00:37You're under arrest.
00:40Please!
00:41With lives on the line...
00:43We're going to need at least three or four ambulances.
00:46Is it fuel?
00:47Right, move away from this car now!
00:49The stakes are high...
00:51It isn't looking good at the minute.
00:53...for the traffic cops.
00:54We've blown 128 at 11 minutes past two in the afternoon.
00:57You're under arrest, suspicion of theft of motor vehicles.
00:59Come on!
01:00Gary, do not run!
01:02Smack the officer!
01:03And there's a promise!
01:04All right.
01:08Get in the bus!
01:09Get in the bus!
01:10Get in the bus!
01:11Relax!
01:12Coming up...
01:13Vehicle is out of the road. Stand by.
01:16...dangerous illegal drivers...
01:18Riding illegal, then, was we, mate?
01:20That old chestnut, is it?
01:22...risking lives...
01:24...desperate to escape...
01:28Right, I'm not an idiot.
01:30Carry on, and I'm going to arrest you for preventing the course of justice.
01:35...and on the run...
01:37Hey, mate, contact, contact with the vehicle.
01:40Mate, carry on, you're going to get sprayed.
01:42Carry on, you're going to get sprayed, do you understand?
01:44Do you understand?
02:05Tonight we're just on normal routine patrol, really, looking for dangerous drivers.
02:09Another folk that, you know, should be on the road.
02:14There are around half a million unlicensed drivers on UK roads.
02:19Traffic cops like Matt Cooling are determined to catch them.
02:24Stand by units monitoring this channel.
02:26Observations for units in the vicinity for a driver.
02:30Controllers at Force HQ monitor the county's network of police cameras
02:34looking for suspicious vehicles.
02:37I'm getting no trace on a DL.
02:43We've received some intelligence that the Nissan Qashqai is being driven by an unlicensed driver.
02:47I've gone to the area to try and find this vehicle and intercept it.
02:52The driver has a provisional licence and hasn't passed his test.
02:56Recent reports reveal that illegal drivers are more likely to be involved in other criminal activity.
03:07As Matt checks the back streets,
03:11a police helicopter joins the search.
03:15It's really handy having access to the police helicopter and the police planes
03:19that, you know, assist us in these sorts of scenarios.
03:21The helicopter's camera can cover a larger search area.
03:27And its thermal imaging captures heat from moving vehicles.
03:38Ah, it's there, ahead of us.
03:41Matt spots the suspect car and closes in.
03:45N-A from M-PAS 81, we're overhead.
03:49Got to be a clone camera.
03:512-1 from 2-9.
03:53Yeah, felt stopped.
03:55France driver, pursuit, T-5-9 performance fully marked.
03:59Traffic's low, pedestrians are low.
04:02Have permission to continue pursuit, please.
04:04From Sierra 2, pursuit authorised. Continue with the RA.
04:10Straight away, the offending driver's taking me down really, really narrow roads,
04:15with cars parked either side, and I'm driving quite a big vehicle.
04:19So, I think he's done that on purpose.
04:22We get the helicopter involved to have an oversight of the pursuit,
04:26and all the time, the risk is being fed back to the control room,
04:30and if they, you know, deem that it's so dangerous,
04:33they would actually call the pursuit off.
04:34The RA slow, room conditions are wet.
04:39We are left, left.
04:43Sentry loss.
04:45As the suspect's car disappears from Matt's view...
04:49It's gone right, right at the end.
04:51..the helicopter keeps track.
04:54Vehicle went onto High Street. It's currently on High Street.
04:57Still out of my view.
05:03Uh, due to just, just crossing over the M1 now.
05:09Yeah, understood.
05:13I've regained our ball in the distance.
05:16Standby, so right, right, immediately before the, uh, the motorway bridge. Right.
05:22I've got this chap now driving at his speed, over speed bumps.
05:26Chaltern is going to cause a loss of control.
05:28With the driver reaching over 50 miles an hour in a 30.
05:32Yeah, it's got some ground up in there due to its speed.
05:36I'm going to go, it's far too fast to 30.
05:39No, I'm fine.
05:41Thank you, uh, very often to me, and, uh, we'll take it from here.
05:45Matt backs off from the pursuit.
05:47Yeah, from, uh, it's a continuation on High Street.
05:51But gets updates from the helicopter so he can pursue from a safe distance.
05:57Which directions are going? Which town is it going towards?
06:00Uh, down towards Newton at the moment.
06:02He's obviously intent on getting away, but we've got the helicopter above us watching him.
06:07Hey, can you look at where this vehicle's likely to be headed?
06:10The vehicle now, right, right, right to right, onto Ford Bridgely.
06:16Ford Bridgely.
06:18With guidance from above.
06:20Yeah.
06:22You carry on that way, I'll go to South North.
06:26An armed response unit joins the pursuit.
06:31Just entering the built-up area now.
06:33And tries to get ahead of the fleeing driver.
06:36So, bike's left, left.
06:38Left, left.
06:40Seven, two, this is nothing more than a second.
06:43Are you behind it, though, yeah?
06:45Just probably about 400 yards out of me.
06:47With Matt rejoining the pursuit from behind,
06:50the armed response officers try to head off the suspect car.
06:5310-8, contact, contact with the vehicle.
06:59Road conditions are wet.
07:01The vehicle's on over the road. Stand by.
07:08Crash, crash, crash.
07:12Show me on!
07:14How are you doing?
07:16Got his arm? Yeah.
07:17Got his arm? Yeah.
07:18Got his arm? Yeah.
07:20He's out, he's out.
07:23What are you doing?
07:24Why don't you just let me get out?
07:26No, it's a lot easier.
07:28As officers struggle with the driver,
07:31Matt arrives to help.
07:33Mate, carry on, you're gonna get sprayed.
07:35Carry on, you'll get sprayed, you understand?
07:37You're gonna be cuffed.
07:39The driver's only got a provisional driving licence,
07:42and it just angers me that that's potentially the reason
07:46why he's failed to stop.
07:47Put your handbrake on.
07:48Is that handbrake on?
07:49Yeah, come on.
07:51All he needed to do, you know, was stop,
07:54face the consequences,
07:55and we won't be in the situation that we're in.
07:57Do you want to just turn our sirens off before we open the door?
07:59I'll just...
08:00Give me a hand.
08:01I'm not gonna go there.
08:02You what? I'm not gonna go there.
08:03Well, you've already tried to, haven't you?
08:05Open the door then a bit before you have.
08:07All right, out you come.
08:08Don't be stupid.
08:10Put your hands behind your back.
08:12Well, you're under arrest, mate, at the minute,
08:13for failing to stop for police.
08:14Have you got a driving licence?
08:15No.
08:16You got one at all?
08:17Right, you know.
08:18All right.
08:19More units arrive to assist.
08:22Look at all this.
08:24For this, for one thing.
08:26You've always got to sort of, you know,
08:27have in the back of your mind
08:28that there's probably something else going on
08:29when people don't stop.
08:31All right, just wait there for you one second.
08:33Yeah.
08:34We've identified that there's document offences,
08:36but I'm also thinking, well, you know,
08:37is he a drink driver?
08:38Is he a drug driver?
08:39Is he a drug driver?
08:40And there might even be another offence
08:41that's been committed that I'm not aware of.
08:43How old are you?
08:4429.
08:45You're not injured?
08:46There's more than that, ain't there?
08:47I know there is.
08:50Hello?
08:51Are you injured? Are you okay?
08:52I'm all right.
08:53Okay.
08:54Because of the suspect's reckless driving...
08:58All right, grab a seat in there.
08:59Mind your head.
09:00...Matt tests him for drugs.
09:03When a drug will wipe you,
09:04make sure you're not under the influence of drugs,
09:05namely cannabis or cocaine.
09:07This takes eight minutes to come back though, mate.
09:09Okay, start rubbing the tongue
09:10around the inside of your mouth for me.
09:13And then when you're ready,
09:14block your tongue out, please.
09:16On the other side, please.
09:19As Matt waits for the results,
09:21the car is searched.
09:22May I just present you Exhibit A?
09:24Oh, all right.
09:25All right.
09:26Whilst I've been dealing with the driver,
09:28another officer discovered a bag of white powder
09:31that effectively would have been at the feet of the driver.
09:33You know, again, that clearly then is one of the other reasons
09:36why he's done what he's done.
09:37They just don't mean car, is they?
09:39I realise it's, like, stripped out.
09:41I think the first thing that stood out to me
09:43is the state of the inside of it, you know,
09:45and it's a real shed of a vehicle.
09:47Got your phone.
09:48You're further under arrest now,
09:50possession of a controlled substance.
09:53All right.
09:54Just found a bag of white powder next to the driver's seat.
09:56You've got no **** hands.
09:58You're not...
09:59I'm not sitting in this car like this.
10:01Get me a van.
10:02Get me a **** van.
10:04With evidence stacking up against the driver,
10:07he becomes increasingly agitated.
10:09Hello, Tango 36.
10:10We need a van for transportation.
10:11We can't transport him.
10:12It's not safe.
10:13Give me a van.
10:14Give me a van.
10:15Just relax.
10:16Get me a van.
10:17You can't, mate.
10:18Get me a van.
10:19Get me a van.
10:20You can't, mate.
10:21Get me a van.
10:22Get me a van.
10:23Get me a van.
10:24Oh, we are doing it.
10:25Get me a van.
10:26Get me a van.
10:27Well, get one.
10:28Just chill out then.
10:29Well, you've already tried to fight with us, mate, so...
10:30It's good that you've got me in a rain.
10:31You have tried to already fight with us.
10:32So just lean there.
10:33You'll be more comfortable.
10:34Just check his drug wipe.
10:35It's in the centre console.
10:36Positive for cocaine.
10:37Right.
10:38The driver tests positive for cocaine and, you know,
10:40I think that probably goes then some way to explain
10:42how it's going to be.
10:43I don't know.
10:44I don't know.
10:45I don't know.
10:46I don't know.
10:47I don't know.
10:48I don't know.
10:49I don't know.
10:50I don't know.
10:51I don't know.
10:52I don't know.
10:53I don't know.
10:54I don't know.
10:55I don't know.
10:56I don't know.
10:57I don't know.
10:58I think that probably goes then some way to explain
10:59how he's behaving and why he was so up and down.
11:01You're further under arrest on suspicion of driving
11:03whilst I have a prescribed limit?
11:04Yeah.
11:05As well.
11:06OK.
11:07You understand?
11:08Get up.
11:09Right.
11:10Are you going to walk sensibly?
11:11Yeah.
11:12Right.
11:13Come on then, young'un.
11:14Shed.
11:15Can't let me go in?
11:16Come on, man.
11:17I'm watching your head.
11:18When it then comes to, you know,
11:19putting him in the van.
11:20I can do it, Miss Hen, you know.
11:21I'm not f***ing disabled.
11:22Come on, man.
11:23Do you know what I mean?
11:24Right.
11:25Why should I?
11:26It's nice to kick off again and don't want to go in it.
11:28What?
11:29Oh, don't be silly.
11:30Just get in.
11:31What do you mean, don't be silly?
11:32Just get in.
11:33Why?
11:34I just find it frustrating.
11:35You try and be accommodating.
11:36You try and be right with people.
11:38Erm, but unfortunately, you know,
11:40this is what happens when people are under the influence of stuff.
11:43Get in.
11:44Get in.
11:45I haven't been in much.
11:46Don't.
11:47Turn him around.
11:48Turn him around then.
11:49Drag him down.
11:50Through.
11:51You've got it.
11:52Get in.
11:53Right, what are you doing?
11:58I'm not going to miss the battle.
12:01What now?
12:02You don't need to go.
12:04There.
12:05What's coming?
12:06There.
12:07There.
12:08Look how many of you do.
12:11Wait, wait, wait.
12:12I'm going to gas you in a minute.
12:13Eh?
12:14I'm going to gas you.
12:15What?
12:16No, we're not going to make much difference, is it?
12:17Well, it is, because we can transport you then safely.
12:18So shift your foot out of the way.
12:20The driver is already serving a 12-week suspended sentence, and now faces prison time.
12:39Ridiculous.
12:40He'll be taken to the police station and questioned.
12:45He's looking at a number of offences now, based on what's happened.
12:48You know, we're looking at dangerous driving.
12:50We're looking at driving otherwise in accordance with the licence.
12:53We're looking at no insurance.
12:55Possession of Class A substance.
12:58And driving whilst over the prescribed limit as well.
13:07Coming up.
13:08A side street smash.
13:10So he's got a broken left Tim Feversey.
13:13Leaves a suspected illegal biker.
13:16Where's your bike gone?
13:17It's gone.
13:18I don't know.
13:19That old chestnut, is it?
13:20In need of urgent medical care.
13:22Help me, please.
13:24And?
13:25He's got a driving licence.
13:26I don't know.
13:27An unlicensed driver.
13:28No insurance.
13:29No.
13:30With something to hide.
13:31Empty barrels of fuel.
13:32And then we've got the set of made siphoning kit, look.
13:33And then we've got the set of made siphoning kit, look.
13:39A bit bouncy.
13:40On the outskirts of Derby, traffic cops Jack Pressland and Devon Scarborough are looking for an illegal driver.
13:52Do you want me to go right on that?
13:53No, straight on.
13:54Straight on.
13:55Straight on.
13:56Straight on.
13:57Do you have any units that can start making their way to an RTC just occurred in Derby?
13:58Jack and Devon are the closest officers to the accident, so divert to the urgent call.
14:27We've received.
14:28We're only four minutes out.
14:29Flew in it.
14:30You can make a bit of progress.
14:32So, we've just been to reports of a one-vehicle motorcycle RTC potential serious injuries,
14:44but the motorcyclist is talking, so we'll assess that when we get there.
14:48Allegedly, his brakes have failed.
14:52The location is known to the police as a hotspot for youths riding illegal bikes.
14:59I've seen clips and reels on social media where people are wheel spinning, donutting.
15:07They're bragging about it day to day.
15:10As they approach the scene, more details come in from control.
15:15Caller is claiming mail.
15:17It's a bad way.
15:19Central broken left.
15:21Sounds a bit gruesome.
15:22I'll go and speak to the ambulance and see what we've got.
15:34You go and find the bike, Devon?
15:35Yeah.
15:36Hello, mate.
15:37How are you?
15:38Better than you.
15:39The rider's foot is badly broken.
15:52Where's your helmet?
15:54Or did you not have one?
15:55Because if these need it...
15:56Right.
15:57Come here.
15:58Oh, yeah.
15:59No comment.
16:00No comment.
16:01Nothing open fracture or anything, though?
16:05Not that we can see at the minute.
16:06It's clear, Steve.
16:08He's broken his leg, but he's got nothing open fracture, wounds or anything like that.
16:15Where's your bike gone?
16:18It's gone.
16:19I don't know.
16:20No, it's that old chestnut, is it?
16:22Riding illegal, then, was we, mate?
16:24No comment.
16:25With the bike missing...
16:27Am I detained?
16:28..Jack suspects the young casualty may have been riding illegally.
16:32I need a lawyer, oh, yeah.
16:34You will need a lawyer, yeah, in due course, mate.
16:37You can't talk to me about my lawyer's paying.
16:40I'm definitely not going to talk to you, are you?
16:42You hires a kite off that, pal.
16:49As the suspect is given strong pain relief...
16:52Have you got a mobile number for your lad?
16:55I'll get off you.
16:56His dad arrives at the scene.
16:58He's obviously going to have to be interviewed later on due course.
17:02Obviously, he's come off a motorbike.
17:03Somebody's removed the bike.
17:05He's riding illegal.
17:06We'll sort all that out at a later time.
17:08OK.
17:09Have I got to go to court?
17:11Yeah, you probably will have, mate, yeah.
17:13Oh, no comment.
17:14I think you've got a lot worse to worry about, my friend.
17:21Help me, please.
17:23We're down the road here.
17:25For me, it's important to get these people off the road.
17:28They're in danger.
17:29They're likely to kill somebody or seriously harm somebody.
17:33And it's just, end of the day, going to end in disaster.
17:36And, unfortunately, it's my role to go and pick that disaster up.
17:40So he's got a broken left tib and fib, is he?
17:45It's up to the bottom, just above the ankle's gone.
17:47It is open.
17:48Right.
17:49Both the toe and ankle are open.
17:50Only slightly.
17:51Yeah.
17:52There's no boats to go.
17:53Right.
17:54But nothing, my friend, no changing.
17:55Not that we can see at the minute.
17:56No worries.
17:57Dad, you need to obviously educate them about illegal motorbike riding
18:01because I'm sick of picking people up off at roads that's doing this round here.
18:05Yeah.
18:10You're riding an illegal motorbike and you've caused yourself a bit of an injury.
18:16So this young gentleman's obviously been riding illegal.
18:20His bike's disappeared.
18:22Everyone obviously in the community thinks it's funny.
18:25It's not funny.
18:26So he'll go to hospital.
18:28He'll get treated and we'll deal with him later on.
18:30He'll get prosecuted.
18:31We'll get the evidence and he'll have his day in court,
18:33which is what he clearly needs.
18:35I can't.
18:36I'll think like a baby I am.
18:40As the suspect is put in an ambulance...
18:43I'm trying to have a look at...
18:45Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:46...Devon looks for any houses that might have CCTV.
18:50Do you want me to pull him up when you sport the leg?
18:54I'm not touching that leg.
18:56No, lift it up, mate.
18:57No, please.
18:58Come here.
18:59Ready?
19:00One, two, three.
19:01Oh.
19:02That's it.
19:03Lights off.
19:04Oh.
19:05Oh.
19:06Oh.
19:07Oh.
19:08Oh.
19:09Oh.
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.
19:26Oh.
19:27Oh.
19:28They've got cameras on their thing.
19:29Her cameras work.
19:31With CCTV of the incident secured...
19:34Let's go down here.
19:38Devon and Jack head back to the station to review the footage.
19:42That was one broken ankle.
19:55So we've got the CCTV from where the incident happened.
20:06You can hear a bike now coming in.
20:12It's not very often that we'll get quad bikes.
20:16Expect it to be a motorbike or a moped.
20:19Although not illegal to ride a quad bike on the road,
20:22with no insurance and no licence, he could face prosecution.
20:27He's in the middle of the road.
20:29He's just driving like an absolute idiot.
20:32He's got his leg out. He's got no helmet on.
20:34He's got no protective equipment at all.
20:37He's going quite quick.
20:39It's an uneven road.
20:44The incident occurred at this top of the junction.
20:47Somehow, he's crashed on a straight piece of road.
20:55He's not stopped for the junction.
20:57A car could have been coming out from either direction.
21:04It could have ended a lot nastier than a broken leg.
21:07But he's lucky.
21:08The evidence is quite key there.
21:13It shows one person on a mini moto quad bike.
21:17So we'll use this and put it in an interview
21:19and see what he's got to say about it.
21:23The quad bike's clearly gone prior to our arrival.
21:27So we've got some more footage.
21:29We're just going to have a look and see where that goes and who takes it.
21:32And there you can see one of his mates clearly pushing the motorbike.
21:41More than likely back home.
21:43It's part and parcel of the offence.
21:46And obviously, they've helped him now get rid of key evidence.
21:50It's still going to be quite difficult to prove who he is.
21:53However, if we do, we could look at offences such as assisting an offender.
21:56So there's still a few lines of enquiry, but we'll dig deep and crack on with it.
22:14I have an A all units to be aware.
22:15There's an report coming in of a vehicle involved in theft of fuel.
22:19If anyone's able to start making the way.
22:21Yes, yes.
22:21With thousands of vehicles on the roads linked to crime,
22:28catching them is a daily challenge for traffic cops like PC Craig Dawes.
22:33It's involved in theft of a nation.
22:36It's a right to do the old clothes.
22:38The car's been picked up on police cameras.
22:43The air received, all can have a look.
22:46We've been able to establish an approximate location where the vehicle might be headed.
22:50Myself and other units had positioned itself around the area to see if we could spot the vehicle.
23:10We're just set up waiting really, just a waiting game.
23:18Is that it?
23:18That's a sick Suzuki, isn't it?
23:25Is that it?
23:28Was it a sick trip?
23:33Yes, can I go to 3, 3, 10, 15, please?
23:35Just having a look.
23:39Yeah, correct there, call.
23:41Yeah, that's what we're being after, ain't it?
23:42I'll stop it.
23:43Any other units?
23:47I'll take it to us.
23:56How you doing? You all right?
23:57As I go behind the vehicle, it pulls up of its own accord outside the address that we linked it to.
24:02Straight away, both occupants exit the vehicle.
24:05That's normally an indication that there's something not quite right straight away.
24:09Is it your car?
24:10Yeah.
24:11Is it?
24:12Just wait there for me.
24:13You've got a driving licence?
24:14I have a mate.
24:15No insurance?
24:16No.
24:18Come and take a seat in my car.
24:19When 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.
24:28Go on, get in.
24:29Your senses are straight up.
24:34What are you doing in that car?
24:36Me?
24:36Yeah.
24:37I'm just getting my McDonald's and my money.
24:39Got my money.
24:41I'm not keep you too long for your McDonald's.
24:44Empty barrels of fuel.
24:51Coming up...
24:52Where have we been nicking diesel from then?
24:54I don't know.
24:55With the driver suspected of stealing fuel...
24:58It smells a bit strong, that does.
25:00Cops find more potential evidence of theft.
25:04Who's with these?
25:08If you haven't got your policy, then I'm taking your car.
25:10And a young driver pays a heavy price for driving illegally.
25:15He's a young chancer.
25:16His car's coming with me.
25:29Come and take a seat in my car.
25:30In Chesterfield, traffic cop Craig Dawes...
25:34Go on, get in.
25:35...is dealing with an illegal driver...
25:38...suspected of stealing fuel.
25:44Yeah.
25:46Empty barrels of fuel.
25:51He's got the barrels there for theft of fuel.
25:53He stinks of it.
25:54And then we've got the hosepipe and everything here.
25:57That homemade siphoning kit, look.
25:59As soon as you start smelling that kind of smell...
26:02...and, you know, you notice in the back the drums...
26:05...it's clear to us what they've been up to.
26:08Where have we been nicking diesel from then?
26:09I don't, mate.
26:11Have we got you before you've nicked it?
26:12I don't nick it, mate.
26:13You don't?
26:14What do you do with it then?
26:15Because it smells a bit strong, that does.
26:17You obviously sold it to pay for your McDonald's...
26:19...and that's where our money is.
26:20I don't know where it's going to come from, but they're knocking it around building size.
26:34So it's going to be some machinery and stuff.
26:36I don't know.
26:39There's no fuel in it.
26:40Check them out.
26:41Not today.
26:42The female passenger is denying she's done anything wrong.
26:46We've just been to Mackey's.
26:48I think your missus is upset.
26:51I've really gone upset when sees a McDonald's for proceeds of crime.
26:57I'm going, then. Rip, thank you.
26:59They made a moment.
27:00I can't say they won't lock you up.
27:02What's the necessity to lock you up at the moment?
27:03The containers are empty, so there's no proof the man's been committing theft.
27:09You're going to be prosecuted for driving a motor vehicle,
27:13otherwise in accordance with the licence,
27:14and then drive a motor vehicle on a road without third-party insurance.
27:21From an A.
27:23At control, there's an update.
27:25Mail is also showing outstanding wanted for theft.
27:29Thank you, no problem.
27:30The man is wanted in connection with a recent burglary.
27:44So, this time you are going to be arrested on suspicion of theft.
27:49Remain you still under caution,
27:50so you don't have to say anything, but it may be an offence.
27:52Yeah.
27:54Any else, Tango 23?
27:56Cut.
27:57You've got a North East unit in the van.
27:59We've got a male under arrest, suspicion of theft, compliant, no issues.
28:03Just smells a little bit of diesel.
28:06Yes, yes, we do.
28:07I'm going to get you out,
28:09just so you don't make me new car smell any more.
28:12The car and its contents will be seized.
28:15I bet you don't charge 140 a litre, do you?
28:19Do you do nectar points, though?
28:21Oh, God.
28:21You all right?
28:26So, our friend here is wanted for theft.
28:31The suspect will be questioned at custody about the stolen garden tools.
28:37Through his being arrested, it incitles us then to obviously search where he's been arrested.
28:42It's important that we try and recover any evidence that we've got before it's sold on.
28:50A search of a property linked to the couple gets under way.
28:56Stream right here.
28:57Who's at these?
29:04I'm Larry.
29:05Are they?
29:06No, I don't know.
29:08I usually let lad do a garden.
29:11I'd sack him then.
29:13You've got strimmers and everything, haven't you?
29:14But you've got long grass.
29:16Why are you taking that?
29:18Because that vehicle's been involved in a theft.
29:21Has it?
29:22A load of garden tools was taken.
29:25Really?
29:25What 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.
29:34I have not done anything.
29:38While the car is recovered, Craig secures the evidence.
29:42Quite a decent job, isn't it?
29:45Yeah, I'm no green-fingered expert myself, but you've got some decent matching tools here that I'm having is worth a pound or two.
29:56The IT systems that we've got at our disposal now allows us to have real-time information on vehicles.
30:02So if we see them or they're in our vicinity, we've got the ability then to quickly stop them.
30:09If we find one problem, it will then lead to a second, a third, a fourth.
30:18Like a glove.
30:21Hopefully we'll be able to reunite some owner with it, you know, the garden tools.
30:25Let's go down into Derby and see what we've got.
30:53Traffic cops like PC Rich Morris are always on the lookout.
30:58Attention.
31:00PNC action.
31:02Near Derby city centre, Rich's in-car computer alerts him to a suspicious car.
31:08Go ahead.
31:11This has got a PNC app report up.
31:16Vehicle is currently showing no insurance.
31:20Interesting.
31:26Just getting it stopped now.
31:29No worries, thank you.
31:30You all right, mate?
31:39Is it your car?
31:40Just give me the keys a minute, dude.
31:42How long you had this car for?
31:44Two weeks.
31:45Two weeks, all right.
31:47Have you got an insurance document for this vehicle?
31:49Is that hot?
31:50Have you got anything on your phone for your insurance?
31:52It's always on your phone?
31:56No, it's a trader's policy.
31:58But you haven't got it?
31:59No.
32:01Mate, if you haven't got your policy, then I'm taking your car.
32:05It's got a Golf R.
32:07That's a lot of car.
32:08It's a high-powered vehicle.
32:10And the insurance on that would be phenomenal for a young driver.
32:14It's on the traders, though.
32:16What?
32:16You're telling me that?
32:17Show me a policy.
32:18It's my friend's business.
32:21It's on the car rentals.
32:24Well, it's your car.
32:26You can't do that, mate.
32:27You can't just add your car to somebody's policy
32:30just for you to drive around in.
32:33The motor trade policy is generally owned by the owner of a company
32:38that has got several vehicles
32:40that are driven by different members of staff
32:43to do with that company.
32:45And what will happen is you'll get some white boy,
32:48he will offer his mates,
32:50oh, give me a couple of hundred quid,
32:52I'll put you on my trader's policy.
32:53You can just say that you're on this policy.
32:56I do have a trade policy.
32:58Right, so I'm supposed to just tell your word for that?
33:00No, I do.
33:01I can show you.
33:02Well, show me that.
33:03It's your responsibility
33:04to have any documentation required when you're stocked.
33:08You can't provide me proof of insurance.
33:10I want some proof that that person
33:14that is on that trader's policy
33:16has actually got some link to that company
33:18because if you've got no links to it,
33:20you have no reason whatsoever to be on that policy.
33:24And I'm not being funny.
33:26That's not happening.
33:27And your vehicle's coming with us.
33:29And what I'll advise you further is
33:30if you lie to me
33:32and you get done for pervert the course of justice,
33:34you will end up going to prison.
33:36So how are you part of that business?
33:39He's taken a chance with his friend's trader's policy.
33:43You're not going to get away with it.
33:46You're not?
33:48Mate, you've got a car like this
33:50and you haven't got insurance.
33:51It's ridiculous.
33:55I didn't trust a thing that he said or did anyway
33:57after the interaction that I'd had with him.
33:59So I do have the power to seize the vehicle.
34:03OK, mate, you do not have to say anything,
34:04but it may harm your fence if you do not mention now
34:07something we tell you to run in court.
34:09And if you do say, I may be given evidence.
34:10Do you understand that?
34:12You can go out and buy whatever car you want,
34:15but you've got to be able to insure it,
34:18tax it, MOT it.
34:20And if you can't do that,
34:22I suggest that you maybe shouldn't be driving a car like that.
34:27Right, what I'm going to do now
34:28is I'm going to fill out some paperwork
34:29that explains how you get the car back.
34:31All right.
34:32What is the point?
34:34It's six points in a fine.
34:39He's been driving less than two years,
34:41so he's looking at getting banned now from driving.
34:44So he's going to have to go to court.
34:46Is that my problem?
34:48No.
34:48Sounds a bit harsh,
34:49but you know what?
34:51If he'd gone, had an accident, injured somebody,
34:53he'd be going to prison now.
34:55So, no, I don't apologise for it.
35:00As Rich wraps up,
35:02the driver tries to prove he's insured.
35:06Show me the policy.
35:08I asked you to show me a policy.
35:09You didn't have one.
35:10Where's the email?
35:15This has come on, mate.
35:16God, I took this policy out
35:17because I thought the traders was going to be all right.
35:20I took this out of security.
35:23Nobody tells the truth,
35:24so you know straight away.
35:27That's come through on an email, hasn't it?
35:29Right, so go back into your emails
35:31and show me the date and the time that that email was sent.
35:34That's what I want to see.
35:35It won't show up.
35:38It won't show up?
35:39No.
35:40I'm not interested then.
35:42Don't even try pulling the wool over my eyes, mate.
35:46Somebody's created that for you, haven't they?
35:49Yeah.
35:49Right, I'm not an idiot.
35:52Carry on, and I'm going to arrest you
35:54for perverting the course of justice.
35:55I've told you about that.
35:56You go to prison for it.
35:57Don't be ridiculous, mate.
36:00Now go away.
36:03He's trying to provide me
36:04with a fraudulent, made-up copy of a policy.
36:07I'm not buying that.
36:10I don't know how nearly thinks I am at this game,
36:12but I'm certainly not,
36:14and it's going to take better than him
36:15than that to pull the wool over my eyes.
36:22Each year, around 120,000 uninsured drivers
36:26have their vehicles seized,
36:28and about a third of them end up crushed.
36:32Another one, got a high-powered car.
36:34And don't want to pay for his insurance.
36:36So, it is what it is.
36:38His car's coming with me.
36:48Coming up...
36:49What do you do if...
36:51An illegal rider...
36:53What happens if you get squashed by a lorry?
36:55Puts their life at risk.
36:57You can't have this.
36:58You can't have it.
36:59So, that comes with me.
37:01On a busy road at night.
37:03It's going to get crushed.
37:05Sorry, mate.
37:06Yeah, I'd get this.
37:21In Derby, traffic cop Rich Morris is back on patrol
37:25when he spots an e-scooter
37:27on one of the city's busiest roads.
37:29What do you do it?
37:41Sorry, I don't know how to go.
37:44I don't know if this is my first time.
37:55You can't be riding these on a road.
37:57Really?
37:58No, you can't.
37:59I'm new to Derby, so I don't know about that.
38:02Listen.
38:03Okay.
38:04Under the road traffic act,
38:05you cannot be riding this on a road.
38:08Okay.
38:08That comes with me now.
38:11You can't have it.
38:12Okay, shall I go in cab?
38:14No.
38:15This is now coming with me.
38:20You'd at least expect her to have some kind of lights
38:23on the scooter
38:24and maybe have some kind of high-vis jacket on.
38:27It's an unlit part of the road
38:29and she wasn't visible at all.
38:32Do you have a driving licence?
38:34I have a driving licence.
38:35Indian driving licence.
38:38This is my first time
38:39and even I don't know.
38:41Right, listen.
38:43Really,
38:43you should be getting into trouble
38:45under the road traffic act
38:47because you can't have this.
38:48You can't have it.
38:49So, that comes with me.
38:51Unless you're part of a scheme
38:53within a city,
38:54you can't get insurance on them.
38:57It's simple as that.
38:58They're not legal
38:59to ride on the road.
39:02I came from Birmingham.
39:03I used to drive over there
39:05but I don't know here.
39:06Just stand by.
39:08It is not legal to do it there.
39:11The fact is
39:12that nobody stopped her
39:13while she's riding that e-scooter there.
39:15That's the problem.
39:17But how can I travel daily
39:19from my workplace today?
39:21There is no inconstitution here, you know?
39:24Where do you work?
39:25In a pedal station.
39:26In a pedal station.
39:27It's really been difficult for me to daily.
39:31And my half of my side
39:33is going in my cats.
39:35You need to get a pedal cycle.
39:37What?
39:38A bicycle.
39:39That's an e-scooter.
39:41Okay.
39:42It's okay.
39:43I will not try this again.
39:44No, that's coming with me.
39:47But what I should be doing, right,
39:49I should be putting you
39:50before the magistrate's court
39:52where you get points on your licence
39:54and you get a big fine.
39:56But I'm not going to do that
39:58because believe it or not,
40:00I am quite nice.
40:01I'm just going to take your scooter.
40:02First time I have taken onto the road today
40:09and I have been caught.
40:12Derbyshire police seized
40:14nearly 500 e-scooters this year
40:16as part of a county-wide clampdown.
40:21What happens if you get squashed by a lorry?
40:24So lots of lorries use this road.
40:27You've got no lights on here.
40:28You're wearing a black jacket.
40:30So what if they just run over you
40:32and squashed you?
40:33Listen, there's your paperwork.
40:35What do I need to do?
40:38You don't need to do anything.
40:40You can't have it anymore.
40:41Really?
40:42Yeah.
40:44Sorry, mate.
40:47It's going to get crushed.
40:49Crushed?
40:49Yeah.
40:51This is going to crush?
40:52Yeah.
40:53Why?
40:54Did I feel sympathy?
40:56Yes.
40:57But unfortunately, the lorries the law
40:59and if I just let her go with the scooter,
41:01she would have used it again.
41:04With the rider free to go...
41:07Oi.
41:08I'm glad you bought me a massive truck for this.
41:10Yeah, I know.
41:12Recovery arrives.
41:14Paperwork's in there, dude.
41:17People just see these for sale in shops.
41:20They don't think of the implications when they buy them
41:22and if you're going to spend money on something,
41:23you're going to use it on a road,
41:25you need to ensure that you can legally ride it on a road.
41:30There you go, dude.
41:30I think that's done.
41:31Unlicensed drivers are responsible for causing nearly one in ten
41:48of all motoring offences.
41:50They are a massive problem to the public.
41:54They've not been tested.
41:55They don't have the required knowledge
41:57to drive that vehicle on the road.
41:59But also, if they damage property
42:01or seriously hurt somebody,
42:03they've got no insurance cover in place.
42:07The punishments aren't severe enough, in my opinion.
42:11People continue to commit these offences,
42:13but we're out there on a day-to-day basis
42:15trying to remove them from the roads.
42:17Dealing with some of these people,
42:21you can just tell that they just don't care
42:22about what they've done.
42:24The next day, they'll be back out doing it again.
42:25It's just so frustrating.
42:30In this episode...
42:32Crash, crash, crash.
42:34..the driver who crashed following a high-speed pursuit...
42:37Keys out, keys out.
42:39..was charged with dangerous driving,
42:41failing to stop,
42:43driving without a licence and no insurance.
42:46Have you got a driving licence?
42:47No.
42:48You got one at all?
42:50He was disqualified from driving for three and a half years
42:54and sentenced to 12 months in prison.
42:56You got it.
42:58No action was taken for any of the suspected drug offences.
43:04It could have ended a lot nastier than a broken leg.
43:07The man who was badly injured after crashing his quad bike...
43:11Riding illegal, then, was we, mate?
43:13No comment.
43:13..was reported to court for driving without due care and detention,
43:17driving without a licence and no insurance.
43:20And there you can see one of his mates pushing the motorbike.
43:24More than likely back home.
43:25No-one was charged with removing and hiding the quad bike.
43:30I made siphoning kit, look.
43:32The man stopped with empty fuel containers in his car...
43:36There's no fuel in it.
43:38Check them out.
43:38Not today.
43:39..and suspected of stealing gardening tools...
43:42You've got some decent matching tools here.
43:46..remains on bail while police inquiries continue.
43:49I have not done anything.
43:52..no action was taken against his girlfriend.
43:56Don't even try pulling the wool over my eyes, mate.
43:59The driver of the Golf R was reported for no insurance.
44:03Some trade is there.
44:04What? You're telling me that? Show me a policy.
44:07He could receive six penalty points on his licence...
44:10Now, go away.
44:10..and may be required to retake his test before he can drive again.
44:14Honestly.
44:17What are you doing?
44:18..and no further action was taken against the woman
44:21riding a scooter without insurance.
44:23You're wearing a black jacket?
44:26What happens if you get squashed by a lorry?
44:29The scooter was later destroyed.
44:32Yeah. Sorry, mate.
44:37Is a long-lost daughter really who she says she is?
44:41Kim Marsh stars in The Impostor.
44:43Brand-new drama starting next Monday at nine.
44:47And tonight, examining a bizarre true crime,
44:49an unbelievable ending.
