00:00Derbyshire traffic cops it does have warning markers for potential firearms
00:12police a thousand square miles
00:20it's a crash crash you've got any other injury other than your head with some of
00:27the UK's most dangerous roads oh no one's been killed out of this I don't know
00:32do you know how fast you are going it's scary when stuff like this happens in life and death
00:37situations get on the ground you'll be chasing we've got runners face down yes yes successful
00:46stick around every corner great acting mate there's a new challenge for the traffic cops
00:57coming up you've now got three hgvs blocking all lanes it's got nowhere to go officers cracking
01:16down on highway robbery these have been stolen from some lorries battling a huge surge in attacks on
01:23hgvs hunting for thieves on the run and putting their own lives on the line
01:33more debris being thrown at the police vehicle don't come back to Derbyshire can't see fair in that can I
01:39I've got a feeling it could be up and down the county quite a bit to north to south to north to south but we shall see we shall see
02:06halfway through a night shift sergeant Adam Shipley is heading towards the M1 looking for thieves targeting
02:16trucks the amount of burglaries it's just it's going up and up each year it's not really ever stopping
02:24with theft of goods from lorries costing the UK more than 250 million pounds a year
02:30catching the gangs responsible is a nightly challenge for Adam and his team
02:36near Derby traffic cop Jack Pressland is responding to reports of a suspicious vehicle
02:57Knotts our bordering force has passed information regarding a possible clone van coming up the
03:04motorway so we're just going to make our way and see if we can assist them so the minute in Derby vans are
03:11getting stolen left right and center they seem to be a key tool for going out burgling end of the day
03:17you can fit quite a lot in a van rather than a car it's heavy if they want to use it against us
03:22the vehicle that we're looking for is a loot and van which is commonly used for stealing high
03:29quantities of goods out of lorries curtain side lorries and so on police intelligence suggest
03:38hundreds of organized gangs are at work every night attacking lorry loads throughout the UK
03:43thank you to five from Sheraton nearby Adam is racing to assist these are the kind of people you want
04:00to get off the road experience has taught us that they won't just pull over and hold hands out the
04:05window to be handcuffed and a vehicle is phoned stop these people will make every effort to get away
04:12can I just confirm it's going southbound on the north side carriageway yes yes they wouldn't think
04:17twice about hurting us driving at us ramming us so we have to be extra careful and it really has to
04:26bring out our sort of top game yeah tango Sierra three monitored I think due to the size of the vehicle
04:31and how it's been driven the third option would be pre-emptive sting on it before we look at any
04:36boxing tactics road conditions are dry traffic is very light sounds like knots have got contact with it
04:45we are in the vehicle we are unmarked CPAC and stinger my plan would be a sting followed by a multi-cart box of this vehicle unknown if it is laden
04:58to the derbysh units the pursuit commander for this at the moment is a unmarked Volvo S60 in black
05:06Derbyshire permission I'm behind you probably quarter a mile I've started to put your safety on
05:16already obliged thank you understood and noted to reduce the risks for the officers ahead Jack's holding
05:26back the traffic knots are in front they're in unmarked cars we're looking at stinging this vehicle
05:36and also we're looking at a multi-car box so we're just trying to try and put safety on and just clear
05:45some area so we can keep the public safe and our colleagues safe who's doing the tactics
05:51up ahead of the suspects Adam's in position ready to puncture the vehicle's tires
05:59this is the stinger that we use it's like a bed of nails that hollow spikes the spikes stay in the
06:07tire but because it's hollow the air gets let out in a controlled manner
06:11committed committed so the plan will be the marked car to push past
06:20the plan will be to allow this thing to take effect and then multi-car box as appropriate
06:28and in fact is successful mark car move forward please
06:35300 yards 300 yards 200 yards
06:41the suspects take the motorway exit towards Adam
06:49are you
07:14You can't decamp, north side, north side, decamp into the north.
07:18Matthew, there's a dog here, there's a dog here.
07:23Don, you know, I'll be for a drone.
07:26Yeah, don't shock you. I've got a drone.
07:29I'm trying to launch it.
07:31After a successful sting, Adam's on the scene.
07:35By the sound of it, they've got one detained.
07:37I think they've probably gone into this bushed area.
07:40So we're trying to get the containment on.
07:44The driver of the van has made off and is headed in towards where we are now.
07:50So, we'll try and get containment on.
07:53From 6-5, can I have a welfare check, please?
07:59I'm fine, Dan, thank you. I'm a bit baffled and bruised.
08:03He's sped up and deliberately hit me, so if you find him, you need nothing for that.
08:08During the sting, it sounds like the Luton van has sped up and hit one of the Knot's officers, causing him to be a bit battered and bruised.
08:18I would say it's about 5.8.
08:22Just checking we've got control of the drone, just letting it set up.
08:29With the aid of Adam's drone.
08:31That's in the fence there, isn't it?
08:34Jack joins the ground search for the runaway driver.
08:39You don't know what that person will do to escape.
08:43You're always thinking, if we get out on foot, are we going to be fighting?
08:48Are they going to pull a weapon?
08:50They're so unpredictable, all they've got in their head is, I'm getting away from this copper.
08:55We've got dogs and drones nearby.
08:58Must be in the field down here.
09:04Adam guides the dog unit to a heat source.
09:07From Tangish Arata, I've got you in the field, two officers.
09:12If you stop where you are and turn to your right, then walk back, possibly a little bit to your left,
09:19then just keep walking straight.
09:21It's the top corner of that field, basically.
09:23Turn slightly to your right and then walk forward again, about five yards.
09:28There he is.
09:33Get in now, get in.
09:38Towards me, towards me.
09:41I ain't going to bite you, that thing is.
09:44Right, onto your side.
09:45Right, let's lift you up, guys.
09:46One, two, three, up.
09:48Right, have you got anything on you that can hit me or my colleague?
09:51I don't know.
09:52Are you sure?
09:53I'm sure.
09:54Hang on, mate.
09:55What have you got on you?
09:56Yeah?
09:57It's not an opportunist shoplifter or something.
10:00These people go out there across the country and they've been doing it for their whole lives.
10:04Any drugs or anything like that?
10:06Right.
10:07They don't care.
10:08They don't got any conscience.
10:09And to put the cuffs on these people and get them put away in prison, it's a real field of job satisfaction.
10:16Got it.
10:17Drone works.
10:18Is this the driver as well?
10:20Yeah.
10:21Yeah.
10:22So, me and Richard have got the drones out.
10:25We've located the driver hiding in a bush and guided the dog man into it to make the arrest.
10:30So, yeah.
10:31All in all, it's a really good job.
10:33Yeah.
10:34With both suspects under arrest.
10:37Front seat, passenger.

10:48So, there's four electric bikes.
10:51These have been stolen from some lorry earlier on this morning.
10:55Two suspects in custody.
10:57So, it's a great result.

11:10So, these individuals will get locked up for theft of the motor vehicle as well.
11:15Can we just get it recovered?
11:17Let's get it jacked up, please, for Socko.
11:22As a recovery truck arrives.
11:25Take a seat in there, mate.
11:27Jack speaks to the passenger.
11:31Do you use drugs?

11:39No.
11:40Cannabis and a bit of crack.
11:42Oh.
11:44The van is recovered for forensics.
11:46And the suspects now face questioning at the police station.
11:52Coming up.
11:54If it comes off, tell me if anything's in front of it, because I can't see the slip.
11:59More suspected organised criminal gangs.
12:02Shake up, stop.
12:04Who's got driver?
12:06I've got driver.
12:07Oh, yeah.

12:35Two, three, put me to that.
12:36got a near side indication into lane one two three put me to that on the m1 officers are
12:44tailing a vehicle suspected of being involved in thefts from lorries i don't want to be trying to
12:51put a box on this vehicle without it being stung traffic cop craig dawes is assisting
12:57cops from leicestershire and i'm saying a two three from derbyshire i'm going to be putting
13:02a block on and if you can shout me out please yeah so basically we've located the um possible
13:09clone vehicle that's been involved in thefts tonight yeah we're just putting a plan together
13:16so i have to stop it because it's a seven and a half tonner so it's now um coming towards you
13:21we're formulating a plan across the country police are fighting a multi-million pound crime wave
13:28freshening combating organized gangs stealing goods a load of high resolution tvs
13:38worth thousands from hgvs every night we tend to find that curtain sided lorries are attacked and
13:47high-value goods are stolen from the back into another lorry no one there make yeah yeah they
13:53seem generally to be on the main arterial roofs that are going in out of different counties another
13:58transit monkey and a lockpick monkey we believe that there is quite an organized group that are
14:03committing all these offenses and there is a large number of people involved we're just approaching
14:09the one mile marker board south of derby with yet another suspicious vehicle heading towards craig
14:18he prepares a trap if it comes off tell me if anything's in front of it because i can't see the slip
14:36so i'm now out of the way waiting for that call but that few seconds can sometimes seem like an eternity
14:43you know your adrenaline is going and you know you are thinking what's going to happen here
14:48standby approaching the office and it's committed committed past the opposite northbound
14:58with the suspects continuing on the motorway craig's forced to play catch up
15:03up ahead several units prepare to box the target in vehicle's lane one i'm taking the driver's side
15:24box on box on box on
15:26as craig arrives in support
15:33no they're not going anywhere yeah we've gone we just can't get him
15:37two more right back a middle-aged man and two teenagers are detained for questioning
15:47the ocg's now they're kind of running their operation as a as a military organization who's got
15:53driver i've got driver oh yeah mate you're locking them all up you've got your generals your big
16:00money makers who's who's reaping the rewards and your foot soldiers that take all the risks
16:05unfortunately it's so well run that it causes so many problems for us
16:11west yorkshire's organized crime bosses use teenage suspects and repeat offenders to target
16:17freight across the uk you can get in that car there it's not be packed down or anything no
16:27where you from pal please yeah i thought so i could have put my entire salary on that
16:34unfortunately nothing's been located inside the lorry so either you know they've had a poor night
16:38not been managed to find what they want or you know they've been spooked and and come away
16:43as the suspects are being dealt with by leicestershire officers craig heads back to derbyshire
16:51that vehicle will be used for loading stolen items from other lorries for criminals to get that
16:56size vehicle it's scary to think what could happen you're never going to stop it in a bmw
17:02if they if they want to go over the top of you they're going to go over the top of you
17:05and so you've always will be very very mindful thankfully this driver
17:09saw sense and stopped before he escalated it and at the end of the day that that's the main
17:14thing is that we've all got families to go home to you're always hopeful that by detaining the driver
17:20it's going to have a massive impact and reduce the the theft in the area but in reality you probably
17:26think somebody else will be out driving them tomorrow in a different car but you know taking
17:31that one person out it's you know it's a deterrent and at least it disrupts them for that day
17:46the whiteboard transit closed
17:50and a tango 39
17:53go ahead can you attach me to this job as well
17:56yes a few hours into another night patrol traffic cop lee ridley is on alert for a suspicious vehicle
18:07on the motorway we've had a knots officer shot up on our channel of a confirmed cloned for transit van
18:16heading m1 northbound so i'm going to start heading a bit further north of the county
18:20and see if we can pick it up the fact that it's traveling kind of this time of night has it been a
18:28ford transit van it could be used to carry kind of stolen items things like that we need to get it
18:34stopped as soon as with lee racing to catch up up ahead traffic cop stuart smith and other officers close in
18:43he's level with the glory i'm going to close up right behind him in case he wants to reverse
18:51orville because we're up stop stand by
18:54criminals people involved in crime are always going to fail to stop for the police
19:02vehicle stopped
19:06out of the vehicle coming out
19:07out
19:11quite dangerous at this stage other members of the public can't see this van coming
19:19crash crash crash crash crash crash
19:28within seconds the driver's doors open he's out and running
19:30where's he gone
19:37just one line yeah
19:42three three there's only one male one driver white male aged 20s to 30s dark clothing short dark hair
19:51three nine it sounds like it's failed to stop goodbye moments later lee arrives
20:04where's he gone that way
20:05yeah
20:16you've walked this far you can walk back yeah
20:18put your arms behind your back
20:20put your arms behind your back
20:22he's got me on my arm or something
20:24on your arm
20:24he's got me on your arm where
20:25yeah
20:25yeah
20:26yeah
20:26why
20:27whereabouts
20:28whereabouts
20:29whereabouts are your arm
20:30on your elbow
20:31hangar 3934 we're with this uh
20:34determined male
20:37we've got how many layers we got on
20:40yeah quite sick
20:40accounts it's not gone through your clothing
20:44so that's a good start
20:46have you got some injuries
20:47yeah
20:48yeah
20:49they're going to get you to hospital for those dog bites
20:52right you got a bit of walking to do
20:55this way
20:56i think there's a variety of factors
21:01currently affecting why the there is this massive surge in in thefts we've got cost of living
21:07crisis people are under a lot of pressure that pressure can translate in some people to
21:13committing offences uh out of desperation unfortunately it's this cycle that tends to go
21:20on and on
21:22and i hate tank three now we're just bringing this to turn mail back up uh from the embankment
21:26uh this chap's gonna have to go to hospital for the puncture wound to his leg from the dog
21:39phone out of what
21:42which one
21:44the white one all right
21:50right we're going to sit you in here
21:56just keep your legs out we'll just keep sat down for us
21:59all right we'll just keep coming in coming in i'm thinking winter's middle line
22:03you should have just said stop then should you
22:06that wouldn't make things a lot easier
22:08yeah
22:10but now of course your life's going to be a little bit more difficult isn't it
22:13i'm not sure you're going to get much sympathy around here after what you've just
22:28the suspect is young but already well known to the police
22:33he's wanted for burglary various traffic offenses dangerous driving etc in other false areas
22:39after he receives medical attention at a hospital for a dog bite the suspect is facing charges for
22:46failing to stop and questions about the stolen van
22:51as soon as he's obviously realized the game's up he's tried to make his best getaway
22:56uh and rammed his way down the side of the uh yeah central reservation and load of cars
23:01causing absolute carnage on my count there's uh between five and six it's obviously quite
23:06quite frightening for all those involved drivers then legged it straight across the motorway into
23:11the bushes uh and then the knots dog's officers managed to run up run after him and detain him
23:17so we've just got to sort out logistically now vehicles that have been damaged if the driver
23:21bill or they need to be recovered and then we need to get carriageway opened as as soon as we can really
23:27are you okay yeah just a bit shaken that's all yeah it's unbelievably scary to have people like
23:34this out on the roads if if you just think of your own family out and about just and enjoying in an
23:39evening and then you've got people like this driving about and the consequences from it it just doesn't
23:45bear thinking about with the motorway ready to reopen the clone stolen van is taken away for forensic tests
23:53and a ostanga 39 two vehicles being recovered m1 northbound uh carriageway is now fully reopened
24:05coming up a dangerous pursuit
24:21we know what you're doing you know what you're doing and repeat offenders caught scouting for targets
24:28at the moment i'm detaining you for a purpose of the stage on the section one of the police and criminal evidence that
24:35we've got an assistant shout if anyone could start making the way there
24:52yeah if you can just pass uh three minutes away with organized criminal gangs regularly using spotter
25:00teams to scout for potential hgv targets officers like sergeant scott riley are always on alert for
25:07suspicious activity just wondering where you're off to queue it's going a bit so through industrial
25:16estate so why is that legal it's just a bit suspicious isn't it that's all
25:22scott and his team are racing to support local officers who've stopped two known offenders
25:27you've got your driver license on you mate i'll just switch the engine off just so it's not running
25:33so if you'd have said to me 20 years ago when i joined this job that you'll be dealing with the
25:37same people day in day out i wouldn't have quite believed you but that is the reality and the truth
25:42of what we're dealing with we're here two mates that are going on what you don't want to hang around
25:48scott and other officers arrive on scene mate can we have a seat in my car let's have a chat with you
26:14of course main thing is to start with it showing us no insurance right that's because it's on there
26:20i've delivered from there i've just put it on policy today at the moment i'm detaining you for a
26:24purpose of a search under section one of the policing criminal evidence act the reason being
26:28is there's information relating to theft that that is yeah all right okay
26:32are you detained him throughout um section one of the police okay okay okay it's my colleague
26:40just searching the car
26:44so mate you say you've got insurance it's showing this we've got no insurance with our system is that
26:48the case i've got that yeah i've got it's one day insurance i've just let it off my phone have you got

27:07just driving around industrial say all the way from leeds you say you took a policy out and i'm not
27:16convinced myself um of that so you will be reported for the consideration of the question of prosecuting
27:25you for that offense oops you didn't have to say anything but may harm your defense if you're not
27:28mentioned now something which may later on in court anything you say may be good and evidence
27:32pc jack pressland has finished searching the car found a little bit of cannabis uh clearly personal use
27:40plenty of gloves in the car basically a pair of gloves everywhere another pair of gloves and a
27:47beautiful hat i imagine spotter vehicle so this vehicle's uh been identified as what we class as a
27:57spotter vehicle uh goes up and down the motorway looking for vehicles it can target at night 100
28:03that is out looking and spotting for hgvs that are parked up and they've got gloves rubber gloves
28:12they've got hats to hide their identity no stolen goods are found so the men are free to go
28:22now just take your cuffs off you know i'm not detained as such i'm going to give you some free
28:27advice five years older you don't come back to derbyshire can't see fair in that can i
28:33how many times have you been stopped by by derbyshire we were do you know when you was found in that
28:38field yeah that we were there yeah i know you were which is stopped jack was one of the officers
28:45involved in the arrest of the suspect three weeks earlier we know the passenger who's been detained
28:52he was involved in the fence where he's uh driving a stolen van which rammed a knots car
28:59what one male income and he was arrested for that but obviously been bailed
29:03vehicle isn't insured so it's going to be recovered under 165 the road traffic act
29:07if we get nothing else that will frustrate uh vehicle crime for tonight we know what you're
29:13doing you know what you're doing well i don't know what you've just come all the way from
29:19yorkshire to uh aldea derby end of the day who comes from west yorkshire to derbyshire for a wet cold
29:29wednesday night do you like derbyshire no no no what do you keep coming back for then
29:36at least you want ramming cop cars this time hey so it's one car to us and uh hopefully no crimes to
29:43them train station's that way that way down that way all your lorries up motorway that way
29:59the goods out of the back of lorries aren't the only targets for organized thieves
30:07and a tango share four
30:11after a recent surge in thefts caravans and motor homes have also become hot property
30:18caravan theft in derbyshire is quite prevalent we do get people from outside the county come over onto
30:24darbyshire to steal caravans they take them away over the border and they're never seen again
30:32scott's tailing yet another suspicious vehicle this one's towing a caravan
30:39the number plate on the caravan is different to the number plate on the van
30:45i suspect that that caravan's stolen the driver couldn't be more aware of my presence
30:51and the mere fact that i settle behind him he knows i'm doing my checks and it's who blinks first
31:00we'll stop it and see what we've got
31:03i'm on my own with an unknown amount of people in that vehicle with backup quite a long way away
31:11as scott closes in the caravan slows to a stop i'm literally a sitting duck it's a very fast road
31:19i've got lorries bearing down from the rear of me at great speed can't quite work out what they're
31:25doing they're clearly broke down it looks like it's breaking down so i'm out of my vehicle i'm
31:32worried i'm going to get attacked and assaulted by the people that are getting out of the van
31:37scott suspects the caravan is stolen and the occupants of the van are organized thieves
31:41you're dealing with criminals that do not want to be caught and do not want to go to prison broken
31:50down again it's broken down again and the lengths that they will go to to prevent that could be
31:56limitless so i do feel really vulnerable about i'm in a little bit of a no-win situation
32:02as the suspected thieves abandon the caravan scott gives chase
32:19never in a million years did i think that they want to hitch that caravan in front of me and leave
32:25it in a live lane so whilst we want to get with it the important thing is that we keep ourselves safe
32:35we're traveling at a good speed so just want to be careful when we're passing traffic make sure nothing
32:42steps out on me it's just about keeping that safe distance away from them so we've got units making
32:49down the m1 south just to commentate just to tell other units where i am and get those
32:55resources to me i would imagine by the time we've got enough units near to it we'll be well onto
33:01leicestershire force area while scott tails the van it begins to slow up you have something thrown onto
33:13the uh central reservation area what they're trying to do is they're trying to disable my vehicle
33:19and they're trying to dissuade me from following them it really switches you on to the danger that
33:29these people can cause to you and it switches you on to the level that they are prepared to go to evade
33:36capture you're dealing with criminals that have likely been to prison before don't want to go back to
33:47prison so it really makes you think back around he's losing control over the motorway he's got control
33:55back more deborah being thrown out pro bars and tools with a steel sword you have to say you've
34:04continued pursuit of them and dras are medium as we go through the red traffic lights when you see
34:10behavior like that you're very aware of what dangers you're putting yourself in it could do the loop and
34:17start doubling back we need to make sure we're all together just uh just in case
34:22you're very alive to the fact that you're on your own passengers looking to get out
34:29more debris being thrown at the police vehicle it just keeps coming and coming more debris being thrown
34:35out uh boots of the road uh and it's straight on straight on towards the airport is this a natural
34:42route back to that location at all from local intelligence and from our mapping systems we
34:49identify a site where that vehicle is going to be going back to hey is there any less units with
34:55the stinger towards location please our plan is to try and get that vehicle stung before it gets there
35:057-1 if you keep going get to the roundabout stinger site at that roundabout about half a mile up ahead
35:12a stinger trap is set the van goes the wrong way around a roundabout avoiding the stinger
35:28the vehicle the vehicle missed finger over christmas sir thank you leicestershire mobile
35:38special please thank you with the pursuit entering leicestershire scott pulls back letting local officers
35:45take over the pursuit leicestershire have got good knowledge and good intelligence of that site so
35:52leicestershire police to go to the entrance that site to try and block it off to try and stop that
35:58vehicle entering the ra is high into the crossroads on the red light
36:09get to the site the minute they get onto that site they block my access in vehicle stopped
36:18as scott and leicestershire officers give chase
36:21the suspects disappear they run into the darkness to their safe territory and once they're into that
36:33safe haven the residents on that site they won't talk to the police they won't assist us in any way
36:41it's very frustrating you know that they're being hidden you know that people are preventing you getting
36:46to them unable to locate the suspect all scott can do now is recover the van for forensics
36:55the van turned out to be a stolen van the caravan turned out to be a stolen caravan from wales
37:01and experience tells you that they'll come again and on another night they won't be so lucky

38:43just thinking if you want to just get out early then
38:45they just block the north bounds round about shippers the only way i can do it is possibly with
38:52a stinger but it's not going to go all the way across road
38:56yeah those you can do what you can you can't block one of the legs of your car
38:59get a stinger across the other then just get it all the way to stop and keep yourself at a junction ahead

39:20heavies blocking all the the routes including a a breakdown truck you've now got three hgb's
39:28blocking all lanes it's got nowhere to go vehicle stop with the traffic backing up on the slip road
