00:00Police intercept is the rule I for.
00:01I'm going to tell my kids about this.
00:03And you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
00:06Speed 120.
00:09Ace pursuit drivers.
00:11Contact, contact, contact.
00:13With air support.
00:14Got two O's, stand by.
00:16And a crack dog unit.
00:19If you leave, you will get hit.
00:22They bring down the bad guys.
00:25I believe you're one of those.
00:27Keep the dog, don't go.
00:28Keep the streets safe.
00:30Put your arms behind your mouth.
00:32Get on the floor.
00:33And battle 24-7.
00:37Get down on the floor.
00:38In the war on crime.
00:40Crash, crash.
00:42On the floor, no.
00:43It's what it is, isn't it?
00:44We find them, we lock them up.
00:49Coming up.
00:51A teenage takedown.
00:53Get down on the floor.
00:55Get down.
00:55Light at the end of the taser.
00:59Please, stay where you are.
01:00Stay where you are.
01:01Please, stay where you are.
01:03And...
01:04The price of entry.
01:08One front door.
01:09Stay where you are.
01:10Stay where we are.
01:11It's coming towards us.
01:30Some jobs are team efforts.
01:33Copy.
01:33We've just moved off, but we'll spin round here.
01:36And Richie and Harrison are doing a swift UE to back up fellow interceptor Lloyd.
01:41Yes, yes.
01:42Stand by.
01:44Boot it, Richie.
01:52We're with you, Lloyd.
01:52In the marked car ahead, Lloyds, after a white Toyota hybrid, reported for driving dangerously with bandana-clad lads on board.
02:04Target acquired.
02:06They need to get ahead of it.
02:13Easier said than done.
02:15The driver's held his line and blown a red.
02:27And Richie takes the hot seat as lead car.
02:32Nine-iron, I'm behind that, Vic.
02:34But now, T-PAC trained, super driver.
02:38It's a medium risk at the moment in time.
02:40And approaching red ATS, weight one.
02:44The runaway doesn't slow at all.
02:46Clear left.
02:48Temporary high risk, back down to medium.
02:52Neat location, mate.
02:53Yeah.
02:53Vehicle continues.
02:55Campbell Street, heading to town.
02:57Just passing the magistrate's car to the near side.
03:00Those magistrates may see this driver soon.
03:03Speed sits far.
03:04Approaching red ATS, weight.
03:05Okay, it's through red ATS.
03:10Temporary high risk, back down to medium risk.
03:13Speed at 4.8.
03:14Still continuing.
03:15They've got to get this car stopped and fast.
03:19Nine-iron, can I have T-PAC authorised?
03:21The third tactic will be Stinger, followed by a box.
03:24Chess-playing football coach who knows a thing or three about tactics,
03:29Richie is a grand master on the roads.
03:33Stinger can't be achieved if you used a motley car box.
03:36And he'll need to be, to checkmate a driver with no care for safety.
03:41Roadworks on red lights mean nothing.
03:43Copy, it's a left, left, left, Kettering Road.
03:49Traffic is light.
03:51Have we got anybody who can get Stinger sights for us, please?
03:56Vehicle 3, 8TS.
03:59Still medium risk, speed 7-0.
04:02A Stinger team lies in wait to take out the Toyota's tyres if it goes left.
04:09I'm going to push it left here if I can.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Can't do that.
04:12The target swerved the trap.
04:15Vehicle continues through red ATS, temporary high risk,
04:18back down to medium, passing the white elephant to near side,
04:21Kettering Road, heading out of town.
04:23Speed, back down 7-0, still medium risk.
04:26It's like this driver's on a mission to blow every red light in Northampton.
04:31Approaching the red ATS, wait.
04:36Vehicle 3, red ATS, speed 5-0, temporary high risk,
04:40back down to medium.
04:41Speed increases, 8-0 miles an hour.
04:45Still on the Kettering Road.
04:47A safe green light, but he takes the stupid option.
04:52Vehicle wrong side, for red ATS, temporary high risk,
04:54again, back down to correct side.
04:57Temporary high risk, back down to medium.
04:59Speed, 8-0.
05:00Another T-Pack train driver is now behind them.
05:04The net's tightening.
05:05If we get an opportunity to get in front,
05:07are we going to be able to get a two-car boxed on with a T-Pack mobile behind us?
05:10It's a sound plan, but it needs Ritchie to get in front of the target.
05:20To do that safely on a road like this is a tall order.
05:25OK, vehicle continues.
05:25Temporary wrong side, temporary high risk, back down to medium.
05:29Speed, 6-0.
05:30This is it.
05:40Ritchie passes the target and Harrison's primed to run.
05:43But the runaway is on the grass and into an estate.
05:46He can't shake off the marked car ahead, though.
05:58Nor the lamppost he's just stacked into.
06:01A touch of tactical contact pins the Toyota in place,
06:05and the driver's nicked.
06:07But the passenger's done one.
06:12Stay right, you're up!
06:13Stay right, you're up!
06:14Get down on the floor!
06:15Get down on the floor!
06:17Get down on the floor!
06:19Get down!
06:20Two detained.
06:21Got him, got him, got him, got him.
06:23OK, right, take time, take time.
06:24This pair may be tough nuts to crack.
06:27Youngsters often stay tight-lipped and stick together.
06:30I'm so sorry, you forced me to do it.
06:32Maybe not.
06:34I've got to force it to do this.
06:36Stupid.
06:38Have you liked your mum, mate?
06:39It's my mum's car.
06:41The car belongs to the mum of the driver Harrison has in cuffs.
06:44He claims his passenger...
06:46I ain't going too far as what you've just done.
06:48You can please an idiot.
06:49...put him up to it.
06:50Sit you backside down.
06:52OK, I'm going.
06:53Sit you backside down or I'll force you down now.
06:56Behave yourself.
06:57Do you understand me?
06:57Yes.
06:58You've got a weapon on you.
06:59Nope.
07:00I ain't got nothing on you.
07:01You got any sharps on you?
07:02Nope.
07:02If I had my...
07:04If I had anything on me, you would have been stabbed by now.
07:07I would have been stabbed by now.
07:08I said I would have been stabbed.
07:09If I had anything...
07:10You've endangered members of the public yourself for this, you idiot.
07:13That's why you don't wear like that.
07:14It's a good result.
07:16Has he got away?
07:17Huh?
07:19But it's put the wind up the interceptors
07:21because the driver they've been tangling with
07:24is barely out of short pants.
07:26A 14-year-old.
07:2714?
07:28How old is he?
07:29He's 16.
07:3117.
07:32He's a child as well, anyway.
07:36I don't even understand how dangerous
07:37and how many lives you've put at risk tonight.
07:39Yeah, I know.
07:40Not just you.
07:41Very sad.
07:42But us, members of the public.
07:44My mum's at home.
07:45Well, she'll find out.
07:46Don't you worry.
07:47Idiots.
07:48A 14-year-old.
07:50She could kill someone.
07:51Including the ultimate public.
07:54But play silly games.
07:56You get yourself caught.
07:57So, you have to answer for your actions now, aren't you?
07:59So, well, no-one's hurt.
08:03But it could have been...
08:04You could have killed someone.
08:08No action was taken against the passenger.
08:11But the driver of mum's Toyota
08:13pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicle taking,
08:16dangerous driving,
08:17failing to stop,
08:19damaging a police car
08:20and driving without a licence or insurance.
08:24He was disqualified for 12 months
08:26and got a referral order
08:27to the youth offending service.
08:30It could have been far worse.
08:33The idea of children getting hurt
08:34is obviously something that,
08:36those police officers,
08:37you never want to see.
08:38They don't know the risks they're taking.
08:41And had I known it being a 14-year-old,
08:43I'm not sure we'd have continued with that pursuit.
08:45It's the first time,
08:46in my recollection,
08:47I've dealt with a 14-year-old
08:48driving in this manner.
08:49Coming up.
08:56Ah.
08:58You, my friend, are under arrest.
08:59You've blown 50 watts.
09:01A matter of perspective.
09:03No problem, I'm not...
09:04A big problem.
09:06Smashing a cannabis operation.
09:10It's broke.
09:12And...
09:13On the floor, you're going to get sprayed.
09:15A parva palaver.
09:16I did have a bit of a tussle,
09:18so we got sprayed.
09:34Good morning, everyone.
09:36It's early doors at Rushden, Nick.
09:39We're looking for mainly cannabis.
09:41The intelligence will be a cannabis factory.
09:43And the neighbourhood team is gearing up
09:45to raid two separate properties,
09:47both potentially linked to drug supply.
09:51The building is incredibly hot.
09:53It's five degrees hotter than the surrounding houses.
09:55There's a disused factory,
09:57so it should be many degrees colder.
10:00Target one is a warehouse
10:01which has been radiating temperatures
10:03typical for growing weed.
10:05As with all cannabis factories,
10:07just be aware of booby traps.
10:08It is a massive site.
10:10Make sure you look up as well as down.
10:12Lead by Sergeant Lee Goodwin,
10:22cops roll out in numbers.
10:25And the warehouse isn't the only place oddly hot.
10:30It has had this set on 27 degrees
10:32when I got in the cars in the morning.
10:35But with the heating dial down in the Beamer,
10:38the Sarge approaches their first target
10:40cool as a cucumber.
10:41We're all still in convoy.
10:44The warehouse is just minutes from the Nick.
10:50And they aim to be inside just as fast.
10:56Right, we're all ready.
10:58Let's go.
10:59The team is armed for anything.
11:01Monster bolt croppers make short work of chains on the gate.
11:09You two, round that side.
11:10And an upstairs door...
11:12I've got a hoolie bar and thing if you need.
11:14...is no match for the hoolie bar.
11:20We're in.
11:21Taser dots are everywhere as they secure the site.
11:32Ben, wait for me.
11:34Please watch for the taser, make yourself close.
11:37It's a major undertaking.
11:39Please watch for the taser, make yourself close.
11:41But they eventually satisfy themselves that no-one is on site.
11:45Good.
11:49And though the subsequent search is not without red flags...
11:53Just be careful when we're wandering around.
11:55Chris just found a crossbow.
11:57Good spot.
11:59It soon becomes clear...
12:01There's no smell of cannabis.
12:02They're too late.
12:03It's clearly been a cannabis factory.
12:06There's the sheeting down in the rooms.
12:08There's the extractor fans and everything we would expect.
12:11There's no smell of cannabis,
12:12which makes me think they've moved out a couple of weeks ago.
12:15So, yeah, gutted at this minute in time.
12:18It's not the best start of the day,
12:20but you know what they say.
12:24If at first you don't succeed...
12:29...smash another door down.
12:30Their second target is not connected with the empty factory...
12:35...and it's a very different proposition.
12:39Check this, Lux.
12:40A suburban terrace in Wellingborough.
12:49With a pretty tasty front door.
12:52Stay where you are!
12:54Stay where you are!
12:56And one very surprised occupant.
12:58Come, Jen.
12:59Drop your phone.
13:01Drop your phone.
13:02With the team inside...
13:03Put your hands where I can see him.
13:04Turn around.
13:05Do not move.
13:06He's soon in cuffs.
13:08What language?
13:10What language?
13:12Albania.
13:13Albanian.
13:14OK.
13:16You're coming to custody.
13:18OK.
13:18And while the 19-year-old Albanian occupant
13:21gets his marching orders outside...
13:23...it's the moment of truth inside.
13:26Time to establish if the intel on this property...
13:31...is more current than the intel on the warehouse.
13:39Hallelujah.
13:39A vision in green.
13:44In fact, almost every room in the house...
13:48...is given over to the growing and cultivating of cannabis.
13:52Including the loft.
13:54Which soon has Class B reigning from the heavens.
13:56And unlike the warehouse earlier...
14:02...it looks like the interceptors arrived here bang on time.
14:06They're quite sticky.
14:07And you can see there's a decent amount of bush on each of these ends.
14:15So these probably would have been cropped in the next week or two.
14:19One room is ready to harvest...
14:21...while another is growing the next crop.
14:23Making a lucrative year-round operation.
14:27So they're doing two cycles...
14:29...constantly.
14:30So you're probably talking about eight crops a year.
14:34So you're getting 500 grand.
14:36That's...
14:37That's 100 grand.
14:39Yeah.
14:41There'll be no 100 grand turnover this year.
14:44We've only got one set of cropers in here, bud.
14:46Yeah.
14:46There should be a loan in that to buy down there in the car park.
14:49Because the current stock will be destroyed.
14:52I think there's about...
15:05I think they've said about 120 plants.
15:07So it's probably about £50,000 worth.
15:10And this operation...
15:12...will never operate again.
15:19It's broke.
15:20It's fair to say...
15:22...that the morning finished better than it started.
15:25Ready?
15:26Yeah.
15:28I didn't know he was going to let it go.
15:33It comes as no surprise...
15:35...that the guy surprised at the front door...
15:36...pleaded guilty to production of Class B.
15:39He was sentenced to 10 months...
15:41...in a young offender's institution...
15:43...and ordered to pay £187 in charges.
15:47And as rates go...
15:50...one out of two's not bad.
15:52Bomb is kicking off the afternoon shift.
16:08But there's no time for lunch to settle.
16:10There's a fail-to-stop on Radio Interceptor.
16:19We've got three TPAP vehicles...
16:21...making to his location now.
16:25A colleague of ours tried to stop the vehicle...
16:27...and the driver's just giving him a load of abuse...
16:33...and driven off.
16:34He's got into a housing estate.
16:37A few miles south...
16:38...in his very first pursuit...
16:40...since passing the course...
16:41...to the next roundabout...
16:42...offside in the station.
16:44...Max is after the runaway...
16:46...who gave him a mouthful...
16:47...and took off.
16:48Is he trying to go back to the home address?
16:50Only one of the local knowledge.
16:51Sounds like he's going that general direction.
16:53And so is Bomber...
16:55...at a fair old clip.
17:01Bomber's life motto comes from Winston Churchill.
17:04If you're going through hell...
17:05...keep going.
17:07And today...
17:08...he's going through lunchtime traffic...
17:10...on the 509...
17:11...which is much the same.
17:20And though Bomber keeps going...
17:22...he may be too late...
17:24...near side indication...
17:25...should put him to a car parkway.
17:27Three miles away...
17:28...ahead of Max's Volvo...
17:29...the runaway's decamped.
17:34The rookie pursuit driver...
17:35...is on his own.
17:42What are you supposed to do with my car for?
17:44I just want to tell me...
17:45...on the restaurant switch...
17:45...and if I have to stop.
17:47Get on the floor.
17:48Get on the floor.
17:51The guy won't play ball.
17:52I need some more, please.
17:54Get on the floor.
17:55He's going to get sprayed.
17:57Get on the floor.
17:58What for?
17:59The under-espaired to stop.
18:01Get on the floor.
18:02Get on the floor.
18:03Get on the floor.
18:04Get on the floor now.
18:05Get on the floor.
18:07All right, give me your hands.
18:07Wait, wait, wait, wait.
18:08Give me your hands.
18:09Give me your hands.
18:10Max Parva sprays the struggling driver.
18:13It's taken the fight out of him.
18:15What have I done?
18:15You failed to stop.
18:18Driving without no insurance.
18:19And a one-man job is nicely done.
18:25Driver's secure.
18:26One in custody.
18:29Max has done really well, though.
18:32Let's go and have a chair.
18:33Are you known to the police?
18:34King David.
18:36Pardon?
18:37King David.
18:37King David.
18:38What, that's what you're known as to the police?
18:40Yeah, so I'm known as to the police, King David.
18:42Arise, Your Majesty.
18:44The cavalry's arrived.
18:45Do you mind one of you just staying with him?
18:46Just to check the car.
18:48Well done, Maximus.
18:50Good work.
18:51Ended up in a bit of a tactical reinforced stop.
18:54Because of the mud.
18:56That's all right.
18:56I couldn't stop.
18:59You haven't done any damage, have you?
19:00I don't think so.
19:02It literally pissed me.
19:04Just move it out of the way, don't you?
19:06So we can get into the boot.
19:09And in the boot.
19:13Interesting.
19:13You coming for that as well, then?
19:16Yeah, definitely.
19:17Behold, the sword of the king.
19:20It may have been a blessing that the boot was blocked.
19:23At this moment in time, you're further under arrest and suspicion of possession of a bladed article.
19:27What, it's in the boot of my car?
19:28You're under arrest and suspicion of driving, failing to stop, no insurance, driving otherwise in accordance of a licence,
19:35and also possession of a bladed article because there's a machete in your boot.
19:38We need to take you to the police to interview you.
19:40Obviously, you failed to stop for me, so you clearly don't want to talk to us about something.
19:43Yeah?
19:44Yeah, about me being King David.
19:45Okay.
19:46That's one.
19:50It's King, no King.
19:51One, five.
19:51How do we get on with transport, please?
19:53Send a suitably regal carriage.
19:55King David.
19:57So who's the king?
19:58Who's the king you work for?
19:59He says he works for the king.
20:00Yeah, I do.
20:00And I want to know what king he works for.
20:02King Charles.
20:03He works for King Charles.
20:05Yeah.
20:05And there's a King David.
20:06Where?
20:06King David and King Charles.
20:08Not in the UK, there's not.
20:09How do you know that?
20:10Because the king of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, it's King Charles.
20:16It's not King David or King Frederick.
20:17No, King Charles is a term for Viking.
20:22Dogman Brown is getting the full history lesson.
20:26That's the ancient time, from when it came back.
20:29From back in the days, when you become a king, how do you become a king?
20:32By monopolizing the territory, whether it's a village, whether it's a town.
20:35You monopolize it and you become control of it and then you crown yourself as king.
20:39What's that going to do in No Insurance?
20:40I'm a Nubian, a Nubian nation.
20:43I'm not, I'm a Nubian from the UK, but I'm not a Nubian British, that's German.
20:50Your German, your Elizabeth is a German.
20:53Even Charles is not English, he's German.
20:55He's King now.
20:56No, he's not.
20:56He's a Viking, he's not King.
20:58Where did he get the crown from to crown himself King?
21:00That's a self-proclamation.
21:03Easy for you to say.
21:04I'm King, I know these things.
21:07Remarkably, the King's speech has barely begun.
21:09You're hiding my money from me.
21:11That's why I'm being arrested.
21:12No, he's your king, he ain't my king, and he's driving a convertible.
21:16He's King of the Hebrews.
21:18He's not King of the Nubians.
21:20Well, your Highness.
21:21He's not King of the Nubians.
21:22Your chariot awaits.
21:25Not going to cause any power, are you?
21:27No, no, no, this isn't going to call it.
21:32The right royal pain in the neck had his day in court.
21:35For possessing a machete, obstructing the police, failing to stop, and driving without a valid licence or insurance.
21:42He received a total of eight points on his licence, a three-month prison sentence suspended for 12 months,
21:47and ordered to undertake 200 hours of unpaid work.
21:52And Max's first pursuit got the seal of approval from his Majesty's finest.
21:57Oh, thank you very much.
22:05I appreciate that.
22:06It's my first time doing it, especially on my own as well.
22:10Coming up.
22:11Somebody want to come down here?
22:12There's a van being loaded up.
22:15Disturbing the burglars.
22:16Where sane folk fear to tread.
22:21Not the worst area ever since, sir.
22:22Yeah, you've got chumps out of this somewhere.
22:24It's like someone's been eating.
22:25And what do blue lights mean?
22:27Yeah, I'm looking.
22:28What do blue lights mean?
22:29Yes.
22:30The roadside quiz questions get progressively harder.
22:33Have you had something to drink?
22:34Life on the road is full of temptations.
22:57I broke yesterday.
22:58I had a supercharger rack from KFC.
23:01And it can be hard to be virtuous.
23:03Yeah.
23:04Supercharger rack.
23:05Yeah, it was well nice.
23:06But there's one roadside indulgence no Interceptor would ever entertain.
23:11Drink driving.
23:12We see it when we go to collisions, people have been drinking.
23:16It's never them.
23:16It's the one that comes off worse.
23:17It's always the person they hit or the person they kill will be the person in the vehicle.
23:21So, no safety for them.
23:27It's coming down cats and dogs in Kettering.
23:30Oh, what?
23:31The driver is currently disqualified from driving.
23:34And Nick and Harrison are behind a man you wouldn't want to meet on a dark, wet road.
23:40He's speeding up.
23:40He is speeding up.
23:41Doing 84 at the minute.
23:4394 now.
23:44If he is aware of the unmarked car on his bumper, then this isn't the brightest bulb in the box.
23:51I think that is a fog light, isn't it?
23:52It is fog light, yeah.
23:54Maybe it's just coming off here.
23:55It must be coming off here.
23:57Foggy's drifting all over the road.
23:59Standard drive, it's pretty poor, isn't it?
24:01But they light him up and he drifts to the side.
24:05I'm not 100% sure he's stopping yet.
24:17Stand by.
24:18I thought I might have had a fag stop.
24:20Are you going to stop or not?
24:30Turn the engine off.
24:32Take the key out.
24:33Turn the engine off.
24:34Take the key out.
24:35The vehicle's secure.
24:36Step out for me, big man.
24:39Jump out.
24:41The less time you're behind the wheel, the better.
24:43Sorry?
24:43The less time you're behind the wheel, the better.
24:46Let's speak a little bit.
24:47Okay.
24:47Get out of the car.
24:49Okay.
24:49You're starting for 10.
24:51What do blue lights mean?
24:52Yeah, I'm looking.
24:53What do blue lights mean?
24:54Yeah.
24:55No.
24:56Stop.
24:56Yeah, yeah.
24:57Yeah.
24:58And you didn't.
24:59Let's rewind.
25:00Yeah.
25:01I'm looking.
25:01When you travel along the A14, yeah?
25:05Dual carriageway.
25:0690 miles an hour.
25:08Passing everything.
25:09Yeah?
25:09The blue lights are for you.
25:12Yeah, yeah.
25:13Yeah?
25:13So you stop.
25:15He smells a drink.
25:18Have you had something to drink?
25:20Little bit.
25:21Okay.
25:22Little bit to drink.
25:23How long ago have you had something to drink?
25:27No.
25:27How long?
25:27What time?
25:29Two hours.
25:30Two hours ago you had something to drink.
25:32And how much?
25:33Little bit.
25:34Okay.
25:34I'm going to ask you.
25:36To blow into a machine at the roadside.
25:38I'm looking for the blue.
25:39No.
25:40You're not understanding.
25:41I'm going to ask you to blow into the machine at the roadside.
25:44How old are you?
25:46How old are you?
25:47How old are you?
25:47Age?
25:49Age.
25:51Me?
25:5253.
25:53You?
25:5345.
25:54Yeah, yeah.
25:57Blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow, blow.
26:03Keep going, keep going.
26:06Ah.
26:08You, my friend, are under arrest for drink driving.
26:10The legal limit is 35.
26:12You've blown 51.
26:14Yeah.
26:15I'm working here in the morrison.
26:16Okay, you need to keep walking then.
26:17You can walk to work from here.
26:19He's got two passengers.
26:21That's a study.
26:22And zero sympathy.
26:25Sorry.
26:26You won't be sorry when you killed someone, would you?
26:27I know, yeah, yeah.
26:28You won't be sorry then?
26:29Oh, yeah.
26:29I'm drunk.
26:30No problem.
26:31I'm no...
26:31A big problem.
26:33Not no problem.
26:34Big problem.
26:35There's no need to put that one for the place.
26:36There's every need to put handcuffs on him.
26:38I see, but no, he's dangerous, people.
26:40One.
26:40One is dangerous because he's doing too fast on the road.
26:44Yeah?
26:45He's driving at 100 miles an hour on a 70 road.
26:47Yeah.
26:48Secondly, he's drunk.
26:50Yeah?
26:50I would say he's very...
26:52He's over the legal limit.
26:53I see, I see.
26:54So I would say he's very dangerous.
26:56But no, he's dangerous for putting this for the...
26:58You can go now, sir.
26:59What type of license do you hold?
27:01Normal.
27:01License, normal.
27:02B.
27:02What's a normal license?
27:04B.
27:04A UK license, a Spanish license, a Romanian license?
27:07Spanish.
27:08Spanish license.
27:09When it comes to his license, the slurry driver is something of an international man of mystery.
27:14So before you had a Spanish?
27:15Yeah.
27:16What license do you have now?
27:17Now, Romania.
27:19A Romanian license.
27:21You probably won't have any license for much longer.
27:23You're drinking.
27:25It's not good.
27:26You're going to kill...
27:26No, no chance.
27:27You're going to kill someone.
27:28I know, no chance.
27:29Yes, sir.
27:31And it won't be you, will it?
27:33Mercifully, the only thing he's crashed into tonight is the language barrier.
27:37I don't understand you.
27:39You've just spoke English.
27:41What language is best for you?
27:43Spanish.
27:43Spanish?
27:44Yeah.
27:45Okay.
27:47Back at El Nic.
27:50He's explained that he'll be charged with drink driving.
27:53He's charged with the help of a translator.
27:55Then it's Arios Amigo.
28:03My car?
28:04Yes.
28:04Where is my car?
28:05But outside, he rediscovers the English language.
28:09It's gone to a compound.
28:10We'll give you a bit of paper to get it back.
28:14You'll have to pay for it now.
28:15No, I'm leaving you.
28:16Yeah?
28:17Yes, I'm leaving you.
28:18That's fine.
28:21Sulking over there won't help.
28:23Okay, bye-bye.
28:27Why am I bringing you home?
28:29Sorry?
28:29Why am I bringing you home?
28:31Why am I bringing you home?
28:32You walk home.
28:33You wouldn't not oblige to give him a lift home.
28:39He's an adult.
28:39He's got his card on him.
28:41He's only a mile and a half from home.
28:44And the fact is that he's going to kill someone tonight.
28:46The incredible Sulk eventually made his way home under his own steam.
28:54No action was taken regarding the document offences.
28:56However, he pleaded guilty to drink driving and was banned for more than three years.
29:01He was also ordered to do 80 hours unpaid work and pay £199.
29:16With around 300 automatic number plate recognition cameras.
29:21AMPR cameras have picked up a vehicle that's used in theft from vans.
29:28Stinger units.
29:30Vehicle stung, vehicle stung.
29:31And an elite dog unit at their disposal.
29:36Right, we've got a big metal security gate down the bottom here.
29:38He's climbed over it.
29:39Interceptors rarely let a thief off the hook.
29:42Another one.
29:43Stay where you are.
29:45Don't move.
29:46But for the few that do get away.
29:51The next best thing is upsetting their plans to ensure crime doesn't pay.
29:57Really, it's just inconveniencing them as much as we possibly can.
30:01And also, we get whatever they've stolen back.
30:03So, it's almost a wasted outing for them.
30:06And really, that's a win for us, to be honest.
30:08Come on, Root.
30:20Can I have the postcode again, please?
30:22It's the midnight hour.
30:24Where exactly is he climbed over, and what does it back onto?
30:29And someone's up to mischief.
30:31It's a male who's climbed over into the logistics yard, where they distribute goods on HTVs.
30:42Dog handler Lucy Scullthorpe is en route to deal with a break-in at a lorry depot.
30:48But they take stuff off the back of lorries that are ready to leave.
30:51She suspects it's the work of a gang looking to loot freshly loaded lorries before they hit the road.
30:58And she knows the location well.
31:00Get back on to the A14.
31:02As a dog handler with 15 years on the force, Lucy's dealt with thieves like this before, and knows all their tricks.
31:11I'm just going to knock these blues off, because if there's a car parked in a lay-by on the A14, I don't really necessarily want them to see us coming.
31:18Including the fact that gangs often have getaway drivers waiting at pickup points.
31:23I couldn't see any dodgy-looking vehicles parked up in the lay-bys, etc., as I came in.
31:29But with nothing to do on the A14...
31:33It might be worth, if there's a car coming in, just sitting in that, just in case anyone pops out.
31:38Lucy presses on to the scene of the crime.
31:42The lorry depot that's already been searched by firearms cops.
31:46The padlock's been cut off on the front gate.
31:49But police dog Bryn is keen to show them how it's done.
31:55Somebody want to come down here? There's a van being loaded up.
31:59Who ever was loading the van has legged it.
32:14Yes, yes.
32:17But Bryn's picked up a scent.
32:19It's a huge sight, with plenty of obstacles.
32:34Can somebody with security get a code for this? It's a code padlock.
32:38But time is of the essence.
32:41Hold him. No. Bryn, Bryn, this way. Bryn, this way.
32:45Hold him really tight. He's going to try and get to me, and I'm going to climb over, all right?
32:48How's he going to be going up there? He'll be fine.
32:51This is a major assault course, but Lucy and Bryn are up to it.
32:57Right. Let him jump.
32:59Bryn. No, no, no, no, no.
33:05Yeah.
33:06The track leads them across a main road.
33:14Out.
33:16Want him.
33:18Into some bushes.
33:22And then...
33:24Straight to the lay-by Lucy scoped out earlier.
33:29They've hidden in there, and they've been picked up.
33:34If firearms spooked them, then the fleeing thieves could have been hiding in the bushes when Lucy drove by.
33:41So annoying.
33:43She may have missed the getaway car by minutes.
33:49Retracing their steps.
33:52He wants to go back over now.
33:54Bryn leads Lucy to another lay-by.
33:57I think I've just found the second pick-up point.
33:59It looks like the men split up.
34:01The track's literally just stopped.
34:03And then got picked up from separate lay-bys.
34:06From where he's tracked, the other officers have been able to do some ANPR inquiries,
34:12and we think we've identified a cloned vehicle that hit a camera on the A14,
34:17so that's probably going to be the vehicle they've got into and got away in.
34:20As frustrating as this is for the cops...
34:23Yeah, it's still there now.
34:25It's also frustrating for the thieves whose work they disrupted.
34:28This has been cut.
34:31So you can see the angle grind marks on here, where this whole section of fence has been taken out.
34:36And back at the scene...
34:38And I think all the cables have been cut here.
34:42It becomes clear what that work was.
34:45It's going to have been a copper theft in progress.
34:47The gang weren't robbing lorries.
34:50I made a right mess of this.
34:52They were ransacking the site's electricity substation to strip out its copper.
34:56You can see where there's copper elements in here that have been cut off.
35:00It's estimated that metal theft has cost the UK more than £4 billion over the past decade.
35:07So there's cables there.
35:10But tonight's job won't earn the thieves a penny, and the interceptors may have done them a favour.
35:15There's a sign there that says electric shock emergency resuscitation.
35:20There is a big risk of getting electrocuted doing this.
35:24When they're cutting through stuff like this with metal angle grinders, there's a fairly decent chance that they'll electrocute themselves to death.
35:31And it does happen.
35:32And their mates leave them.
35:33They don't ring an ambulance for them because they don't want to get caught.
35:36So they leave them and they die.
35:39That's the risk they're prepared to take, clearly.
35:44The copper thieves managed to slip through the net this time.
35:49However, there will be no more getaways in the van seized at the site.
35:54It was crushed, and ironically, its scrap metal was recycled.
36:03Coming up!
36:06He's doing 50, and now he's doing 80.
36:08Age is just a number.
36:10I'm 17, how can I do this?
36:11Say again.
36:12I'm 17.
36:13Can I rest people at 17?
36:15And your number's up, son.
36:17Can I rest people at any age?
36:18Yeah.
36:18It's estimated that one in five new drivers will have an accident within their first year on the road.
36:38When drivers first learn, particularly youngsters, teenagers, their decision-making hasn't developed,
36:48which would explain the disproportionate number of collisions within the first couple of years of passing your test.
36:55Perhaps with experience and maturity, you understand the risks and the consequences of your actions,
37:02which you perhaps don't think through so much when you're a teenager and an inexperienced driver.
37:08It's the early hours, and Callum and Tom are in the unmarked Volvo on the M1.
37:29And he's laying forward, he's doing about 30 miles an hour.
37:33Well, one of the few things on the road has Callum's nose twitching.
37:38I'm in lane four, behind, with no reason to be there.
37:44A motorbike crawling down the overtaking lane, but as it speeds up...
37:49We're doing 50, and he's just...
37:52Just the start of the way he's approaching.
37:54It's clear the motorbike is actually a golf with one headlight.
38:02Volkswagen, no insurance.
38:05Oh, brilliant.
38:06Erratic driving, no insurance, one headlight.
38:09This is someone they'd like to know better.
38:14Split up now.
38:15But he's got other ideas.
38:18Because he's doing 50, and now he's doing 80.
38:20In fact, he's suddenly in a hurry to say goodbye.
38:25What's it linked to on these?
38:27Some hundred different people.
38:28Any jobs?
38:30Nothing.
38:30Er, no.
38:32Callum overtakes.
38:33Tom lights the follow me sign in their rear window,
38:36and they usher the golf off the motorway.
38:38He's got his wrong indicator on as well.
38:41We're turning right.
38:42He's put his left indicator on.
38:45Hmm.
38:49Callum's pet peeves are middle lane hoggers and unobservant drivers.
38:53So he's hit the jackpot tonight.
38:57Surprisingly, he didn't come with us, to be fair.
38:59Yeah, yeah.
39:00I thought he was going to do a little derby dive at the last minute.
39:03Maybe he is.
39:05Why's he going that way?
39:08Turn your engine off.
39:16Yes, sir.
39:16Turn your engine off.
39:17I'm sorry, I thought you're not following me no more.
39:20No, the sign says follow me, doesn't it?
39:22Not just go off in your own direction.
39:25Pass me your key.
39:29Your car?
39:30Yes, sir.
39:30Driving license?
39:31Er, I don't have.
39:32And insurance?
39:33I don't have it because...
39:34Have you got insurance?
39:35No.
39:36You haven't got insurance?
39:37No.
39:37Okay.
39:37For a teenage driver with questionable decision making, a drug test is nailed on.
39:44I would like to know why will you want to bring that one?
39:46Say again.
39:46Why will you try to test the drug me?
39:49Why am I testing this?
39:50Yeah.
39:50Okay, your manner of driving is shocking, okay?
39:53You're sat in just lane four for no reason.
39:56You're speeding and you're swerving all over the road, okay?
39:59So I believe you might be impaired by either drink or drugs, okay?
40:02So because of that, I'm going to require a sample of saliva and breath at the roadside.
40:07I just need to take nine wipes on your tongue with this.
40:12Do you want to put your handbrake on?
40:13That would be helpful, wouldn't it?
40:15Sit your tongue out.
40:16Nine wipes later, Tom tags Callum.
40:19Well, Collie, just going to do a quick breath test with you, all right?
40:21Who's on breathalyzer?
40:22Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
40:24Stop.
40:25Well, I'd argue if you're getting breathalyzer in Romania and England, you should probably
40:35take some more driving lessons.
40:37To the cop's surprise.
40:39That's all fine, mate.
40:40The driver passes the breath test.
40:43You pass that wipe, then?
40:45And the drug wipe.
40:47Yeah.
40:48There's just a matter of his insurance and license.
40:51What driver license have you got?
40:52I have provisional.
40:53Yeah.
40:54But I wanted to, I'm practicing.
40:57So have you only got a provisional?
40:58Have you got a foreign national license?
41:00No, I have.
41:01So you only got a provisional?
41:02Yeah.
41:02So you shouldn't be driving then anyway, should you?
41:04Not unless you've got L plates, insurance and a licensed driver to supervise.
41:09The way you learn the plates, has your passenger got a full driving license?
41:13He's banned.
41:15Brilliant.
41:16So you shouldn't be driving anyway, should you?
41:18And you're not allowed on the motorway without an instructor who's approved to go on
41:21the motorway.
41:22And isn't banned.
41:23You've got to look around all the tires.
41:25Okay.
41:26So you are going to be reported for two offenses of driving without insurance and driving otherwise
41:30and in accordance with a license, okay?
41:32Vehicle's going to be seized.
41:34Hold your horses, Tom.
41:35Tom, have you done that ticket yet?
41:37Say again.
41:37Have you done that ticket yet?
41:38I'm in the process of...
41:39Add on a tire.
41:40I'll try.
41:41The minimum legal tire tread is 1.6 mil.
41:44Below 1.6.
41:46Well, there's nothing.
41:47Oh.
41:47He's on a space saver, which A is maximum 50 mile an hour.
41:50He's doing 90.
41:51Yeah.
41:51B, the entire inside of the tire is exposed.
41:55Nice.
41:56Can I have a look at this?
41:58If the lad's decision making was poor before, it's off the chart now.
42:03It's like down to...
42:04What is that?
42:05Yeah.
42:05That is literally like a Pop-Tart.
42:08You're driving...
42:09You're driving on a Pop-Tart?
42:11Not for much longer.
42:13That's disgraceful.
42:14Why have you got a space saver on, anyway?
42:17What do you mean space?
42:19Why do you have this tire on?
42:20Yeah.
42:21Because this morning when I woke up, I seen the car like this, you know?
42:26And I changed the tire.
42:28My tire was popped.
42:30And look, I have a problem with my tire.
42:31So you changed the tire this morning?
42:34Look, I have a problem with the tire.
42:38So you changed this tire this morning?
42:40Yeah.
42:40And you didn't notice that?
42:41No, I didn't notice that.
42:43Serious.
42:44There are record-breaking levels of idiocy at play here.
42:47I think that's the worst tire I've ever seen.
42:49It's the worst tire I've ever seen, sir.
42:51Yeah, you've got chunks out of it somewhere.
42:52It's like someone's been eating.
42:53Yeah, I've got chunks out of it somewhere.
42:54I thought it was a Pop-Tart.
42:58Mercifully, the Pop-Tart didn't pop at 90 miles per hour on the motorway.
43:02We followed you and you've been ping-ponging between the lanes.
43:04Ping-pong.
43:05You've been driving over the left line, driving over the right line.
43:09Then we've run your car through and it's showing no insurance.
43:11Yeah, man, some water-cozmin.
43:12You know, we're listening.
43:13Hey, hey.
43:13Some water-cozmin.
43:15Chuckles has as much sense as he does tread.
43:17Here.
43:18Hello.
43:19And the cops may have saved his life.
43:22Wait for a letter to come through the post from us.
43:24If you don't respond to a letter, then you'll be wanting to be arrested.
43:26All right, it says.
43:27I'm 17.
43:27How can I be arrested?
43:29Say again.
43:29I'm 17.
43:30Yeah.
43:30You can arrest people at 17?
43:32You can arrest people at any age.
43:33Yeah.
43:33I'm bigger age now.
43:34Big enough to have your car seized and make your own way home to Nottingham.
43:39We were going to take you to the garage, but now you're going to have to walk.
43:42But you would have already been there if you had to follow me.
43:45Can I follow you quick?
43:46Please.
43:48Not in the car, no.
43:49You can't.
43:49You're driving on TV.
43:50I'm not driving that.
43:51It's a shed.
43:52A shed that needs retiring.
43:55Can I just grab it, please?
43:56In every sense.
44:00The tread-free teenager faced the consequences of his questionable driving decisions,
44:06pleading guilty to driving without a license or insurance, and with illegal tires.
44:11He had to pay £111 in charges and costs, got six points on his provisional license,
44:18and, thanks to Tom and Callum, gets to see his 18th birthday.
44:21See you, brother.
44:25Bye-bye.
44:25Bye-bye.
