00:00This is Police Interceptors.
00:04Police Interceptors are all I for.
00:06I'm going to tell my kids we might do this.
00:08And you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
00:11Speed 120.
00:14Ace Pursuit drivers.
00:16Contact, contact, contact.
00:17FS51.
00:18With air support.
00:19They're two out, stand by.
00:21I'm out!
00:22And a crack dog unit.
00:24If you leave, you will get in.
00:26They bring down the bad guys.
00:30I believe you're wanted, mate.
00:32Keep the streets safe.
00:35Put your arms behind your back.
00:37Get on the floor.
00:39And battle 24-7.
00:41Get down on the floor.
00:43In the war on crime.
00:45Crash, crash.
00:46On the floor now!
00:48This is what it is, isn't it? We find them, we lock them up.
00:54Coming up.
00:56A teenage takedown.
00:58Get down on the floor!
00:59Get down on the floor!
01:00Get down!
01:02Light at the end of the taser.
01:04Please stay where you are!
01:05Please stay where you are!
01:06Please stay where you are!
01:07Please stay where you are!
01:08And...
01:10The price of entry.
01:13One front door.
01:14Stay where you are!
01:15Stay where we are!
01:16It's coming towards us.
01:35Some jobs are team efforts.
01:37Copy.
01:38We've just moved off, but we'll spin round.
01:40Here.
01:41Here.
01:42And Richie and Harrison are doing a swift UE to back up fellow interceptor Lloyd.
01:46Yes, yes.
01:47Stand by.
01:48Boot it, Richie.
01:56We're with you, Lloyd.
01:59In the marked car ahead, Lloyd's after a white Toyota Hybrid reported for driving dangerously with bandana-clad lads on board.
02:10Target acquired, they need to get ahead of it.
02:12Easier said than done.
02:28The driver's held his line and blown a red.
02:33And Richie takes the hot seat as lead car.
02:37Nine-nine.
02:38I'm behind that vehicle.
02:39We're now T-PAC trained.
02:41Super driver.
02:42It's a medium risk of smoking in time.
02:45And approaching red ATS, weight one.
02:49The runaway doesn't slow at all.
02:51Clear left.
02:53Temporary high risk, back down to medium.
02:57Need location, mate.
02:58Yeah.
02:59Vehicle continues.
03:00Campbell Street, heading to town.
03:02Just passing the magistrate's car to the near side.
03:05Those magistrates may see this driver soon.
03:08Speed six, four.
03:09Approaching red ATS, weight.
03:14Okay, it's through red ATS.
03:15Temporary high risk, back down to medium risk.
03:18Speed four, eight.
03:19Still continuing.
03:20They've got to get this car stopped and fast.
03:24Nine-nine.
03:25Can I have T-PAC authorised?
03:26The third tactic will be Stinger, followed by a box.
03:29Chess playing football coach who knows a thing or three about tactics, Richie is a grandmaster
03:36on the roads.
03:37Stinger can't be achieved, abused multi-car box.
03:41And he'll need to be, to checkmate a driver with no care for safety.
03:46Road works on red lights mean nothing.
03:51Copy.
03:52It's a left, left, left, Kettering Road.
03:55Traffic is light.
03:57Have we got anybody who can get Stinger sights for us, please?
04:01Vehicle three, eight, yes.
04:05Still medium risk.
04:06Speed seven, zero.
04:08A Stinger team lies in wait to take out the Toyota's tyres if it goes left.
04:14I'll push it left here if I can.
04:16Yeah.
04:17Can't do that.
04:18The target swerved the trap.
04:20Vehicle continues through red ATS.
04:22Temporary high risk, back down to medium.
04:24Passive the white elephant to near side.
04:26Kettering Road heading out of town.
04:28Speed, back down seven, zero.
04:30Still medium risk.
04:31It's like this driver's on a mission to blow every red light in Northampton.
04:36Approaching the red ATS.
04:37Wait.
04:42Vehicle three, red ATS.
04:43Speed five, zero.
04:44Temporary high risk, back down to medium.
04:47Speed increases eight, zero miles an hour.
04:50Still on the Kettering Road.
04:53A safe green light, but he takes the stupid option.
04:57Vehicle wrong side for red ATS.
04:59Temporary high risk.
05:00Gain, back down to correct side.
05:01Temporary high risk, back down to medium.
05:04Speed eight, zero.
05:06Another TPAC train driver is now behind them.
05:09The net's tightening.
05:11If we get an opportunity to get in front,
05:12are we going to be able to get a two car boxed on with a TPAC mobile behind us?
05:16It's a sound plan, but it needs Richie to get in front of the target.
05:25To do that safely on a road like this is a tall order.
05:29OK.
05:30Vehicle continues.
05:31Temporary wrong side.
05:32Temporary high risk, back down to medium.
05:35Speed six, zero.
05:36This is it.
05:45Richie passes the target and Harrison's primed to run.
05:49But the runaway is on the grass and into an estate.
05:55He can't shake off the marked car ahead though.
05:57Nor the lamppost he's just stacked into.
06:06A touch of tactical contact pins the Toyota in place and the driver's nicked.
06:12But the passenger's done well.
06:17Stay where you are!
06:18Stay where you are!
06:19Get down on the floor!
06:21Get down on the floor!
06:22Get down on the floor!
06:23Get down on the floor!
06:24Get down!
06:25Too detained.
06:26Got him!
06:27Got him!
06:28Got him!
06:29Got him!
06:30OK, right.
06:31Take time, take time.
06:32This pair may be tough nuts to crack.
06:33Youngsters often stay tight-lipped and stick together.
06:36I'm so sorry.
06:37You forced me to do it.
06:38Maybe not.
06:39I've got to force to do this.
06:41Stupid.
06:44Who do you like to run, Nate?
06:45It's my mum's car.
06:46The car belongs to the mum of the driver Harrison has in cuffs.
06:50He claims his passenger...
06:51Are you going too far as we can do a stone?
06:53You can please an idiot.
06:54...put him up to it.
06:55Sit your backside down.
06:56OK.
06:57Sit your backside down or I'll force you down now.
07:01Behave yourself.
07:02Do you understand me?
07:03Yes.
07:04You've got a weapon on you?
07:05Nope.
07:06I ain't got nothing on you.
07:07You got any sharps on you?
07:08Nope.
07:09If I had my...
07:10If I had anything on me, you would have been stabbed by now.
07:12I would have been stabbed.
07:13I said I would have been stabbed.
07:14If I had anything...
07:15You've endangered members of the public yourself and us, you idiot.
07:17That's why you dealt with it like that.
07:19It's a good result.
07:20Has he got away?
07:21Huh?
07:22But it's put the wind up the interceptors, because the driver they've been tangling with
07:28is barely out of short pants.
07:31A 14-year-old.
07:32A 14?
07:33How old is he?
07:34He is 16.
07:3517.
07:36He's been...
07:37He's a child as well, anyway.
07:38He's a child as well, isn't he?
07:39I don't even understand how dangerous and how many lives you've put at risk tonight.
07:44Yeah, I know.
07:45Not just you.
07:46Very sorry.
07:47But us.
07:48Members of the public.
07:49My mum's at home.
07:50Well, she'll find out.
07:51Don't you worry.
07:52Idiots.
07:53A 14-year-old just killed someone, including the ultimate public.
07:59Play silly games.
08:01You get yourself caught, so you have to answer for your actions now, aren't you?
08:04Yeah.
08:05So...
08:06But no-one's hurt.
08:07Yeah.
08:08But it could have been...
08:09Could have killed someone.
08:14No action was taken against the passenger, but the driver of mum's Toyota pleaded guilty
08:19to aggravated vehicle taking, dangerous driving, failing to stop, damaging a police car, and
08:26driving without a licence or insurance.
08:29He was disqualified for 12 months and got a referral order to the Youth Offending Service.
08:35It could have been far worse.
08:38The idea of children getting hurt is obviously something that those police officers you never
08:42want to see.
08:43They don't know the risks they're taking.
08:45And had I known it had been a 14-year-old, I'm not sure we'd have continued with that pursuit.
08:50It's the first time, in my recollection, I've dealt with a 14-year-old driving in this
08:54manner.
08:59Coming up.
09:01Ah.
09:02You, my friend, are under arrest.
09:04You're blowing 50 watts.
09:06A matter of perspective.
09:08No problem, mate.
09:09I'm not...
09:10A big problem.
09:11Smashing a cannabis operation.
09:15It's broke.
09:17And...
09:18On the floor, you're gonna get sprayed.
09:20A parva palava.
09:21Did have a bit of a tussle, so we got sprayed.
09:24Good morning, everyone.
09:25It's early doors at Rushton, Nick.
09:27We're looking for mainly cannabis.
09:28The intelligence will be a cannabis factory.
09:29And the neighbourhood team is gearing up to raid two separate properties, both potentially
09:31linked to drug abuse.
09:32And the neighbourhood team is gearing up to raid two separate properties, both potentially
09:37linked to drug abuse.
09:38The building is incredibly hot.
09:39It's five degrees hotter than the surrounding houses, and there's a disused factory, so it
09:40should be many degrees colder.
09:41Target one is a warehouse which has been radiating tensile to the building.
09:43The building is incredibly hot.
09:44The building is incredibly hot.
09:45It's five degrees hotter than the surrounding houses.
09:47And there's a disused factory, so it should be many degrees colder.
09:52both potentially linked to drug supply.
09:56The building is incredibly hot.
09:58It's five degrees hotter than the surrounding houses.
10:00There's a disused factory, so it should be many degrees colder.
10:05Target one is a warehouse
10:06which has been radiating temperatures typical for growing weed.
10:10As with all cannabis factories, just be aware of booby traps.
10:13It is a massive site.
10:15Make sure you look up as well as down.
10:22Led by Sergeant Lee Goodwin, cops roll out in numbers.
10:30And the warehouse isn't the only place oddly hot.
10:35Taz had this set on 27 degrees when I got in the car this morning.
10:40But with the heating dialed down in the Beamer,
10:42the Sarge approaches their first target cool as a cucumber.
10:46Are we all still in convoy?
10:49The warehouse is just minutes from the Nick.
10:52And they aim to be inside just as fast.
11:01Right, we're all ready.
11:03Let's go.
11:04The team is armed for anything.
11:08Monster bolt croppers make short work of chains on the gate.
11:13You two, round that side.
11:15And an upstairs door...
11:17I've got a hooli bar and a thing if you need.
11:19..is no match for the hooli bar.
11:21We're in.
11:30Police, stay where you are.
11:31Police, stay where you are.
11:32Police, stay where you are.
11:34Taser dots are everywhere as they secure the site.
11:38Ben, wait for me.
11:39He's off to the taser, make yourself close.
11:42It's a major undertaking.
11:44He's off to the taser, make yourself close.
11:46But they eventually satisfy themselves that no-one is on site.
11:50Good.
11:54And though the subsequent search is not without red flags...
11:57Just be careful when we're wandering around.
12:00Chris just found a crossbow.
12:02Good spot.
12:04It soon becomes clear...
12:05There's no smell of cannabis.
12:07..they're too late.
12:09It's clearly been a cannabis factory.
12:11There's the sheeting down in the rooms,
12:13there's the extractor fans and everything we would expect.
12:16There's no smell of cannabis,
12:17which makes me think they've moved out a couple of weeks ago.
12:20So, yeah, gutted at this minute in time.
12:22It's not the best start of the day,
12:25but you know what they say.
12:29If at first you don't succeed...
12:32..smash another door down.
12:37Their second target is not connected with the empty factory,
12:40and it's a very different proposition.
12:44Check this lot.
12:45A suburban terrace in Wellingborough.
12:52With a pretty tasty front door.
12:57Stay where you are!
12:58Stay where you are!
12:58Stay where you are!
13:00And one very surprised occupant.
13:03Get out of the jet!
13:05Drop your phone.
13:06Drop your phone.
13:06With the team inside...
13:08Put your hands where I can see him.
13:09Turn around.
13:10Do not do you.
13:11..he's soon in cuffs.
13:13What language?
13:15What language?
13:17Albanian.
13:18Albanian.
13:19OK.
13:19You're coming to custody.
13:22OK.
13:23And while the 19-year-old Albanian occupant
13:26gets his marching orders outside...
13:28..it's the moment of truth inside.
13:32You've got this more Disney.
13:34Time to establish if the intel on this property
13:36is more current than the intel on the warehouse.
13:44Hallelujah.
13:47A vision in green.
13:49In fact, almost every room in the house
13:52is given over to the growing and cultivating of cannabis.
13:57Including the loft.
13:59Which soon has Class B raining from the heavens.
14:04And unlike the warehouse earlier,
14:06it looks like the interceptors arrived here back on time.
14:10They're quite sticky.
14:12And you can see there's a decent amount of bush on each of these ends.
14:20So these probably would have been cropped in the next week or two.
14:24One room is ready to harvest while another is growing the next crop,
14:28making a lucrative year-round operation.
14:31So they're doing two cycles constantly.
14:34So they're probably talking about eight crops a year.
14:39So they're doing £500,000.
14:40That's...
14:42..100 grand.
14:44Yeah.
14:45There'll be no £100,000 turnover this year.
14:48We've only got one set of crop is in here, bud.
14:50Yeah.
14:51And there's still me alone in that bag down there in the tarot bag.
14:54Because the current stock will be destroyed.
15:09I think there's about...
15:10I think they've said about 120 plants.
15:12So, um, it's probably about £50,000 worth.
15:14And this operation will never operate again.
15:24It's broke.
15:25It's fair to say that the morning finished better than it started.
15:30Ready?
15:31Yeah.
15:33I didn't know he was going to let it go.
15:38It comes as no surprise that the guy surprised at the front door
15:41pleaded guilty to production of Class B.
15:44He was sentenced to ten months in a young offender's institution
15:48and ordered to pay £187 in charges.
15:54And as rates go, one out of two's not bad.
15:57BOM is kicking off the afternoon shift.
16:12But there's no time for lunch to settle.
16:15There's a fail-to-stop on radio interceptor.
16:24We've got three TPAP vehicles making to his location now.
16:28A colleague of ours tried to stop the vehicle.
16:32And the driver's just giving him a load of abuse and driven off.
16:37He's got into a housing estate.
16:38A few miles south in his very first pursuit since passing the course...
16:43Max is after the runaway, who gave him a mouthful and took off.
16:47Is he trying to go back to the home address?
16:49Anyone with local knowledge?
16:50Sounds like he's going that general direction.
16:51And so is Bomber, at a fair old clip.
16:53Bomber's life motto comes from Winston Churchill.
16:54If you're going through hell, keep going.
16:56And today, he's going through lunchtime traffic on the 509,
16:58which is much the same.
17:24And though Bomber keeps going, he may be too late.
17:28Near-side indications should go into a car parkway.
17:31Three miles away, ahead of Max's Volvo, the runaway's decamped.
17:38The rookie pursuit driver is on his own.
17:47What are you supposed to lock my car for?
17:48That's my only time.
17:49You're on the restaurant's Twitter and I've got to stop.
17:51Get on the floor.
17:53Get on the floor.
17:55The guy won't play ball.
17:56Come on, I need some more, please.
17:58Get on the floor.
17:59I'm going to get sprayed.
18:00Get on the floor.
18:01What for?
18:02Are you under us preparing to stop?
18:04Get on the floor.
18:05Get on the floor.
18:06Get on the floor.
18:07Get on the floor.
18:08Get on the floor now.
18:09Get on the floor.
18:10Right, give me your hands.
18:11Wait, wait, wait, wait.
18:12Give me your hands.
18:13Give me your hands.
18:14Max Parva sprays the struggling driver.
18:16It's taken the fight out of him.
18:18What have I done?
18:19You failed to stop.
18:21Driving without no insurance.
18:25And a one-man job is nicely done.
18:28Driver's secure.
18:29One in custody.
18:30Max has done really well there.
18:35Let's go and have a chair.
18:37Are you known to the police?
18:38King David.
18:39Pardon?
18:40King David.
18:41King David?
18:42What, that's what you're known as to the police?
18:44Yeah, that's what I'm known as to the police is King David.
18:46Arise, Your Majesty.
18:48The cavalry's arrived.
18:49Do you mind one of you just staying with him?
18:51Just to check the car.
18:52Well done, Maximus.
18:54Good work.
18:55Ended up in a bit of a tactical reinforced stop.
18:58Have you done?
18:59Because of the mud.
19:00That's right.
19:01I couldn't stop.
19:03You haven't done any damage, have you?
19:05I don't, I don't think so.
19:06It literally, literally pissed it.
19:08Just move it out of the way, don't you?
19:10So we can get into the boot.
19:13And in the boot.
19:17Interesting.
19:18You coming for that as well then?
19:20Yeah, definitely.
19:21Behold the sword of the king.
19:24It may have been a blessing that the boot was blocked.
19:27At this moment in time, you're further under arrest on suspicion
19:29of possession of a bladed article.
19:31What, it's in the boot of my car?
19:32You're under arrest on suspicion of driving, failing to stop,
19:35no insurance, driving otherwise in accordance with a licence,
19:39and also possession of a bladed article
19:41because there's a machete in your boot.
19:42We need to take you to the police to interview you.
19:44Obviously, you failed to stop for me,
19:45so you clearly don't want to talk to us about something.
19:47Yeah?
19:48Yeah, about me being King David.
19:50OK.
19:51That's one.
19:54Is King...
19:55How do we get on with transport, please?
19:57Send a suitably regal carriage.
19:59King David.
20:00So who's the king?
20:02Who's the king you work for?
20:03He says he works for the king.
20:04Yeah, I do.
20:05And I want to know what king he works for.
20:06King Charles.
20:07He works for King Charles.
20:08Yeah.
20:09And there's a King David.
20:10Where?
20:11King David and King Charles.
20:12Not in the UK, there's not.
20:13How do you know that?
20:14Because the...
20:15The king...
20:16Yeah.
20:17...of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
20:18Yeah.
20:19It's King Charles.
20:20Yeah, but...
20:21It's not King David or King...
20:22No, King Charles is...
20:23I'll just state in fact.
20:24King Charles is a term for Viking.
20:27Dog Man Brown is getting the full history lesson.
20:30That's the ancient time, from when it came back.
20:33From back in the days, when you become a king,
20:35how do you become a king?
20:36By monopolising the territory,
20:38whether it's a village or it's a town.
20:40You monopolise it and you become control of it
20:42and then you crown yourself as king.
20:43What's that going to do with no insurance?
20:45I'm a Nubian.
20:46A Nubian nation.
20:47I'm not...
20:48I'm a Nubian from the UK.
20:51But I'm not a Nubian British class German.
20:54You're German...
20:55You're...
20:56Elizabeth is a German.
20:57Even Charles is not English.
20:58He's German.
20:59He's King now.
21:00No, he's not.
21:01He's a Viking.
21:02He's not king.
21:03Where did he get the crown from to crown himself king?
21:04That's a self-proclamation.
21:06Easy for you to say.
21:08I'm king.
21:09I know these things.
21:10Remarkably, the king's speech has barely begun.
21:13You're hiding my money from me.
21:15That's why I'm being arrested.
21:16I'm just...
21:17No, he's your king.
21:18He ain't my king.
21:19And he's driving a convertible.
21:20He's king of...
21:21He's king of the Hebrews.
21:22He's not king of the Nubians.
21:24Well, your highness...
21:25He's not king of the Nubians.
21:26Your chariot awaits.
21:28Not going to cause anything, Carl, are you?
21:31No, no, no.
21:32This is going to cause.
21:36The right royal pain in the neck had his day in court
21:39for possessing a machete, obstructing the police,
21:42failing to stop and driving without a valid licence or insurance.
21:46He received a total of eight points on his licence,
21:48a three-month prison sentence suspended for 12 months
21:51and ordered to undertake 200 hours of unpaid work.
21:56And Max's first pursuit got the seal of approval
21:59from his Majesty's finest.
22:01Uh, quite limited experience.
22:04Sherlock and Pop.
22:07Oh, thank you very much.
22:09I appreciate that.
22:10It's my first time doing it.
22:11Especially on my own as well.
22:14Coming up...
22:15Somebody want to come down here?
22:16There's a van being loaded up.
22:18Disturbing the burglars.
22:22Where same folk fear to tread.
22:24Not the worst day ever since, sir.
22:26Yeah, you've got chunks out of this somewhere.
22:27It's like someone's been eating.
22:28And...
22:29What do blue lights mean?
22:30Yeah, I'm looking.
22:31What do blue lights mean?
22:33Yeah.
22:34The roadside quiz questions get progressively harder.
22:37Have you had something to drink?
22:38Have you had something to drink?
22:59Life on the road is full of temptations.
23:01I broke yesterday.
23:02I had the supercharger rat from KFC.
23:05And it can be hard to be virtuous.
23:07Yeah.
23:08Supercharger rat?
23:09Yeah, it was well nice.
23:10But there's one roadside indulgence
23:12no interceptor would ever entertain.
23:16Drink driving.
23:17We see it.
23:18When we go to collisions,
23:19people have been drinking.
23:20It's never them.
23:21It's the one that comes off worse.
23:22It's always the person they hit
23:23or the person they kill
23:24will be the person in the vehicle.
23:25So...
23:26No safety for them.
23:27It's coming down cats and dogs in Kettering.
23:33Oh, what?
23:34The driver is currently disqualified from driving.
23:38And Nick and Harrison are behind a man
23:40you wouldn't want to meet on a dark, wet road.
23:43Are you speeding up?
23:44It is speeding up.
23:45Doing 84 at the minute.
23:4694 now.
23:48If he is aware of the unmarked car on his bumper,
23:51then this isn't the brightest bulb in the box.
23:54I think that is a fog light, isn't it?
23:56It is fog light, isn't it?
23:57It is fog light, yeah.
23:58Maybe it's coming off here.
24:00It must be coming off here.
24:01Foggy's drifting all over the road.
24:03Standard driver is pretty poor, isn't it?
24:06But they light him up and he drifts to the side.
24:17Not 100% sure he's stopping yet.
24:21Stand by.
24:22I thought I might have had a found stop.
24:26Are you going to stop or not?
24:35Turn the engine off.
24:37Take the key out.
24:38Turn the engine off.
24:39Take the key out.
24:40Vehicle's secure.
24:41Step out for me, big man.
24:42Yeah?
24:43Jump out.
24:44Wow.
24:45The less time you're behind the wheel, the better.
24:47Sorry?
24:48The less time you're behind the wheel, the better.
24:50Speak a little bit more.
24:51OK.
24:52Get out of the car.
24:53OK.
24:54You're starting for 10.
24:55What do blue lights mean?
24:56Yeah, I'm looking.
24:57What do blue lights mean?
24:58Yeah.
24:59No.
25:00Stop.
25:01Yeah, yeah.
25:02And you didn't.
25:03Let's rewind.
25:04Yeah.
25:05I'm looking.
25:06When you travel along the A14, yeah?
25:09Dual carriageway, 90 miles an hour, passing everything, yeah?
25:13The blue lights are for you.
25:16Yeah, yeah.
25:17Yeah?
25:18So you stop.
25:19He smells a drink.
25:23Have you had something to drink?
25:25Little bit.
25:26OK.
25:27Little bit to drink.
25:28How long ago have you had something to drink?
25:29Uh...
25:30No.
25:31How long?
25:32What time?
25:33Two hours.
25:34Two hours ago you had something to drink.
25:36And how much?
25:37Little bit.
25:38OK.
25:39I'm going to ask you to blow into a machine at the roadside.
25:42I'm looking for the blue.
25:43No.
25:44You're not understanding.
25:45I'm going to ask you to blow into the machine at the roadside.
25:49How old are you?
25:50How old are you?
25:51How old are you?
25:52Age.
25:54Age.
25:55Me?
25:5653.
25:57You?
25:5845.
25:59OK.
26:00Yeah, yeah.
26:04Blow, blow, blow.
26:05Blow, blow, blow, blow.
26:07Keep going, keep going.
26:10Ah.
26:12You, my friend, are under arrest for drink driving.
26:14The legal limit is 35.
26:16You've blown 51.
26:18Yeah.
26:20OK.
26:21You need to keep walking then.
26:22You can walk to work from here.
26:23He's got two passengers.
26:25I'm so sorry.
26:26I'm so sorry.
26:27And zero sympathy.
26:29Sorry.
26:30You won't be sorry when you killed someone, would you?
26:31I know, I know, yeah, yeah.
26:32You won't be sorry then.
26:33Oh, yeah.
26:34I'm drunk.
26:35No problem.
26:36I'm no...
26:37A big problem.
26:38Not no problem.
26:39Big problem.
26:40There's every need to put handcuffs on him.
26:42One.
26:43One is dangerous because he's doing too fast on the road.
26:48Yeah?
26:49He's driving at 100 miles an hour on a 70 road.
26:51100 miles?
26:52Yeah.
26:53Secondly, he's drunk.
26:54Yeah?
26:55I would say he's very...
26:56He's over the legal limit.
26:57I see.
26:58I see.
26:59So I would say he's very dangerous.
27:02You can go now, sir.
27:03What type of license do you hold?
27:06What's a normal license?
27:07B.
27:08A UK license?
27:09A Spanish license?
27:10A Romanian license?
27:11Spanish.
27:12Spanish license.
27:13When it comes to his license, the slurry driver is something of an international man of mystery.
27:18So before you had a Spanish?
27:19Yeah.
27:20What license do you have now?
27:21Now?
27:22Romania.
27:23A Romanian license?
27:24Yeah.
27:25You probably won't have any license for much longer.
27:28You're drinking.
27:29It's not good.
27:30You're gonna kill...
27:31Not a chance.
27:32You're gonna kill someone.
27:33I know.
27:34Not a chance.
27:35And it won't be you, will it?
27:36Mercifully, the only thing he's crashed into tonight is the language barrier.
27:41I don't understand you.
27:43You've just spoke English.
27:45What language is best for you?
27:47Spanish.
27:48Spanish?
27:49Yeah.
27:50Okay.
27:51Back at El Nick...
27:53He's explained that he'll be charged with drink driving.
27:57He's charged with the help of a translator.
27:59Then it's Adios Amigo.
28:00My car?
28:01Yes.
28:02Where is my car?
28:03But outside, he rediscovers the English language.
28:04It's gone to a compound.
28:05We'll give you a bit of paper to get it back.
28:06You'll have to pay for it now.
28:07No, I'm leaving.
28:08Yeah?
28:09Yes, I'm leaving.
28:10That's fine.
28:11Sulking over there won't help.
28:14Okay, bye-bye.
28:15Sorry?
28:16Why am I bringing you home?
28:17You walk home.
28:19He wouldn't not oblige.
28:20Give him a lift home.
28:21He's an adult.
28:22He's got his card on him.
28:23He's only a mile and a half from home.
28:24And the fact he doesn't get off the lift is...
28:25He's been able to get off the lift.
28:26I'm going to have to pay for it, though.
28:27Oh, I'm leaving.
28:28Yeah?
28:29I'm leaving.
28:30That's fine.
28:31Sulking over there won't help.
28:32OK, bye-bye.
28:33Why am I bringing you home?
28:34You walk home?
28:36Why am I bringing you home?
28:37You walk home.
28:39He would not oblige.
28:41Give him a lift home.
28:43He's an adult.
28:44He's got his card on him.
28:45He's only a mile and a half from home.
28:48And the fact is that you're going to kill someone tonight.
28:54The incredible sulk eventually made his way home under his own steam.
28:58No action was taken regarding the document offences.
29:01However, he pleaded guilty to drink driving and was banned for more than three years.
29:06He was also ordered to do 80 hours unpaid work and pay £199.
29:18With around 300 automatic number plate recognition cameras.
29:26AMPR cameras have picked up a vehicle that's used in theft from vans.
29:33Stinger units.
29:34Vehicle stomp, vehicle stomp.
29:36And an elite dog unit at their disposal.
29:40Right, we've got a big metal security gate down the bottom here. He's climbed over it.
29:44Interceptors rarely let a thief off the hook.
29:47Another one.
29:48Stay where you are.
29:50Don't move.
29:52But for the few that do get away.
29:56The next best thing is upsetting their plans to ensure crime doesn't pay.
30:02Really, it's just inconveniencing them as much as we possibly can.
30:05And also, we get whatever they've stolen back.
30:08So, it's almost a wasted outing for them.
30:11And really, that's a win for us, to be honest.
30:13Come on, Ruth.
30:25Can I have the postcode again, please?
30:27It's the midnight hour.
30:29Where exactly is he climbed over and what does it back onto?
30:34And someone's up to mischief.
30:38It's a male who's climbed over into the logistics yard where they distribute goods on HTVs.
30:47Dog handler Lucy Scullthorpe is en route to deal with a break-in at a lorry depot.
30:53But they take stuff off the back of the back of the lorries that are ready to leave.
30:56She suspects it's the work of a gang looking to loot freshly loaded lorries before they hit the road.
31:03And she knows the location well.
31:05Get back on to the A14.
31:08As a dog handler with 15 years on the force, Lucy's dealt with thieves like this before and knows all their tricks.
31:16I'm just going to knock these blues off.
31:18Because if there's a car parked in a lay-by on the A14, I don't really necessarily want them to see us coming.
31:23Including the fact that gangs often have getaway drivers waiting at pick-up points.
31:28I couldn't see any dodgy-looking vehicles parked up in the lay-bys, etc. as I came in.
31:36But with nothing to do on the A14...
31:38It might be worth, if there's a car coming in, just sitting in that just in case anyone pops out.
31:43Lucy presses on to the scene of the crime.
31:47The lorry depot that's already been searched by firearms cops.
31:50The padlock's been cut off on the front gate.
31:54But police dog Bryn is keen to show them how it's done.
32:00Somebody want to come down here? There's a van being loaded up.
32:08Left, all the way down to the bottom.
32:15Whoever was loading the van has legged it.
32:17Yes, yes.
32:22But Bryn's picked up a scent.
32:32It's a huge site with plenty of obstacles.
32:38Can somebody with security get the code for this?
32:42It's a code padlock.
32:43But time is of the essence.
32:46Hold him.
32:47No.
32:48Bryn, Bryn, this way.
32:49Bryn, this way.
32:50Hold him really tight.
32:51He's going to try and get to me and I'm going to climb over, all right?
32:53How's he going to be going up there and stuff?
32:55He'll be fine.
32:56This is a major assault course, but Lucy and Bryn are up to it.
33:02Right.
33:03Let him jump.
33:05Bryn.
33:05No, no, no, no.
33:10Yeah.
33:10The track leads them across a main road.
33:19Right.
33:21Hold him.
33:23Into some bushes.
33:27And then...
33:29Straight to the lay-by Lucy scoped out earlier.
33:36They've hidden in there and they've been picked up.
33:38If firearms spooked them, then the fleeing thieves could have been hiding in the bushes when Lucy drove by.
33:46So annoying.
33:48She may have missed the getaway car by minutes.
33:54Retracing their steps...
33:55He wants to go back over now.
33:59Bryn leads Lucy to another lay-by.
34:01I think he might have just found the second pick-up point.
34:04It looks like the men split up.
34:06The track's literally just stopped.
34:08And then got picked up from separate lay-bys.
34:11From where he's tracked, the other officers have been able to do some AMPR inquiries and we think we've identified a cloned vehicle that hit a camera on the A14.
34:21So that's probably going to be the vehicle that they've got into and got away in.
34:25As frustrating as this is for the cops...
34:28Yeah, to do that now.
34:30..it's also frustrating for the thieves whose work they disrupted.
34:34This has been cut.
34:36So you can see the angle grind marks on here, where this whole section of fence has been taken out.
34:41And back at the scene...
34:42And I think all the cables have been cut here.
34:47It becomes clear what that work was.
34:50It's going to have been a copper theft in progress.
34:53The gang weren't robbing lorries.
34:55I made a right mess of this.
34:57They were ransacking the site's electricity substation to strip out its copper.
35:01You can see where there's copper elements in here that have been cut off.
35:06It's estimated that metal theft has cost the UK more than £4 billion over the past decade.
35:12So there's cables there.
35:14But tonight's job won't earn the thieves a penny.
35:17And the interceptors may have done them a favour.
35:21There's a sign there that says electric shock emergency resuscitation.
35:25There is a big risk of getting electrocuted doing this.
35:29When they're cutting through stuff like this with metal angle grinders,
35:33there's a fairly decent chance that they'll electrocute themselves to death.
35:36And it does happen.
35:37And their mates leave them.
35:38They don't ring an ambulance for them because they don't want to get caught.
35:41So they leave them and they die.
35:42And that's the risk they're prepared to take, clearly.
35:49The copper thieves managed to slip through the net this time.
35:54However, there will be no more getaways in the van seized at the site.
35:59It was crushed.
36:00And ironically, its scrap metal was recycled.
36:04Coming up.
36:11So he's doing 50 and now he's doing 80.
36:13Age is just a number.
36:14I'm 17, how can I do it?
36:16Say again.
36:17I'm 17.
36:18You can arrest me for that 17?
36:20And your number's up, son.
36:22Can arrest me for any age?
36:22It's estimated that one in five new drivers will have an accident within their first year on the road.
36:43When drivers first learn, particularly youngsters, teenagers, their decision-making hasn't developed,
36:53which would explain the disproportionate number of collisions within the first couple of years of passing your test.
36:59Perhaps with experience and maturity, you understand the risks and the consequences of your actions,
37:06which you perhaps don't think through so much when you're a teenager and an inexperienced driver.
37:12It's the early hours and Callum and Tom are in the unmarked Volvo on the M1.
37:34And he's laying forward. He's doing about 30 miles an hour.
37:38Where one of the few things on the road has Callum's nose twitching.
37:43I'm on lane four behind.
37:45With no reason to be there.
37:47A motorbike crawling down the overtaking lane, but as it speeds up...
37:54We're doing 50, and he's just...
37:57Just...
37:57Approaching.
38:01It's clear the motorbike is actually a Golf with one headlight.
38:07Volkswagen. No insurance.
38:10Oh, brilliant.
38:10Erratic driving, no insurance, one headlight.
38:14This is someone they'd like to know better.
38:19Split up now.
38:21But he's got other ideas.
38:23So he's doing 50, and now he's doing 80.
38:25In fact, he's suddenly in a hurry to say goodbye.
38:28What's it linked to on each?
38:31Some hundred different people.
38:33Any jobs?
38:34Nothing.
38:35Er, no.
38:37Callum overtakes.
38:38Tom lights the follow me sign in their rear window, and they usher the Golf off the motorway.
38:43He's got his wrong indicator on as well.
38:46We're turning right.
38:47He's put his left indicator on.
38:50Hmm.
38:54Callum's pet peeves are middle lane hoggers and unobservant drivers.
38:58So he's hit the jackpot tonight.
39:02Surprised he can come with us, to be fair.
39:04Yeah, yeah.
39:05I thought he was going to do a little derby dive at the last minute.
39:08Maybe he is.
39:10Why is he going that way?
39:16Pull up alongside him, mate.
39:19Turn your engine off.
39:20Yes, sir.
39:21Turn your engine off.
39:23Sorry, I thought you're not following me, no more.
39:24No, the sign says follow me, doesn't it?
39:27Not just go off in your own direction.
39:30Pass me your key.
39:34Your car?
39:34Yes, sir.
39:35Driving licence?
39:36Er, I don't have.
39:37And insurance?
39:38I don't have it because...
39:39Have you got insurance?
39:40No.
39:41You haven't got insurance?
39:42No.
39:42OK.
39:43For a teenage driver with questionable decision-making, a drug test is nailed on.
39:49I would like to know when you want to put me down.
39:51Say again?
39:51When will you try to test me?
39:53Why am I testing this?
39:54Yeah.
39:55OK, your manner of driving is shocking, OK?
39:58You're sat in just lane four for no reason.
40:01You're speeding and you're swerving all over the road, OK?
40:04So I believe you might be impaired by either drink or drugs, OK?
40:07So because of that, I'm going to require a sample of saliva and breath at the roadside.
40:12I just need to take nine wipes on your tongue with this.
40:17Do you want to put your handbrake on?
40:18That would be helpful, wouldn't it?
40:19Sit your tongue out.
40:20Nine wipes later, Tom tags Callum.
40:24I'm just going to do a quick breath test with you, all right?
40:26Who's on breathalyser?
40:27Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
40:29Stop.
40:31This one is quicker than in Romania.
40:33Is it?
40:33Yeah.
40:34In Romania, you need to take all your...
40:36Well, I'd argue if you're getting breathalysed in Romania and England, you should probably
40:40take some more driving lessons.
40:42To the cop's surprise.
40:44That's all fine, mate.
40:45The driver passes the breath test.
40:48You pass that wipe, then?
40:50And the drug wipe.
40:52Yeah.
40:53There's just a matter of his insurance and licence.
40:56What driver licence have you got?
40:57Have you got...
40:57I have provisional.
40:58Yeah.
40:59What I wanted to...
41:00I'm practising.
41:01So is...
41:02Have you only got a provisional?
41:03Have you got a foreign national licence?
41:05Er, no, I have.
41:06So you've only got a provisional?
41:07Yeah.
41:07So you shouldn't be driving then anyway, should you?
41:09Not unless you've got L plates, insurance and a licence driver to supervise.
41:14The way you learn the plates, has your passenger got a full driving licence?
41:18Er, he's banned.
41:20Brilliant, all right.
41:21So you shouldn't be driving anyway, should you?
41:23And you're not allowed on the motorway without an instructor who's approved to go on the
41:26motorway.
41:27And isn't banned.
41:28You've got to look round all the tyres.
41:29OK, so you are going to be reported for two offences of driving without insurance and
41:34driving otherwise and in accordance with a licence, OK?
41:37Vehicle's going to be seized.
41:39Hold your horses, Tom.
41:40Tom, have you done that ticket yet?
41:41Say again.
41:42Have you done that ticket yet?
41:43Er, I mean, the process of...
41:44Add on a tyre.
41:45Roger.
41:46The minimum legal tyre tread is 1.6 mil.
41:49Below 1.6?
41:51Well, there's nothing.
41:52Oh.
41:52He's on a space saver, which A is maximum 50 mile an hour, he's doing 90.
41:56Yeah.
41:56B, the entire inside of the tyre is exposed.
41:59Nice.
42:01Can I have a look at this?
42:03If the lad's decision making was poor before, it's off the chart now.
42:08It's like down to...
42:09What is that?
42:10Yeah.
42:10That is literally like a Pop-Tart.
42:13You're driving on a Pop-Tart?
42:16Not for much longer.
42:18That's disgraceful.
42:19Why have you got a space saver on, anyway?
42:22Er, what do you mean, space?
42:24Sorry.
42:24I have this tyre on.
42:25Yeah.
42:25Er, because this morning, when I woke up, I seen the car like this, you know?
42:30And, er, I changed the tyre.
42:33My tyre was popped.
42:35And look, I have a problem with my tyre.
42:36So, hold on, you changed the tyre this morning?
42:40Look, I have a problem with the tyre.
42:43So, you changed this tyre this morning?
42:44Yeah.
42:45And you didn't notice that?
42:46No, I didn't notice that.
42:47Serious.
42:49There are record-breaking levels of idiocy at play here.
42:52I think that's the worst tyre I've ever seen.
42:54It's the worst tyre I've ever seen, sir.
42:56Yeah, you've got chunks out of it somewhere.
42:57It's like someone's been eating.
42:58Yeah.
42:59I thought you were just...
43:00I thought you were just a Pop-Tart.
43:03Mercifully, the Pop-Tart didn't pop at 90 miles per hour on the motorway.
43:07We followed you, and you'd been ping-ponging between the lanes.
43:09Ping-pong?
43:10You'd been driving over the left line, driving over the right line.
43:12Then we've run your car through and showing no insurance.
43:16Yeah, man, some water could...
43:17You know, listening.
43:20Chuckles has as much sense as he does tread.
43:22Here.
43:23Hello.
43:24And the cops may have saved his life.
43:27Wait for a letter to come through the post from us.
43:29If you don't respond to a letter, then you'll be wanting, you'll be arrested.
43:31The light says...
43:32I'm 17. How can I be arrested?
43:34Say again.
43:34I'm 17.
43:35You can arrest people at 17?
43:37You can arrest people at any age.
43:38Yeah.
43:38I'm bigger age now.
43:39Big enough to have your car seized and make your own way home to Nottingham.
43:44We were going to take you to the garage, but now you're going to have to walk.
43:47But you would have already been there if you had followed me.
43:50Can I follow you quick?
43:51Please.
43:53Not in the car, no.
43:54You can't...
43:54Are you driving?
43:55I'm not driving that.
43:56It's a shed.
43:57A shed that needs retiring.
44:00Can I just grab it, please?
44:01In every sense.
44:05The tread-free teenager faced the consequences of his questionable driving decisions, pleading
44:11guilty to driving without a licence or insurance, and with illegal tyres.
44:17He had to pay £111 in charges and costs, got six points on his provisional licence, and,
44:23thanks to Tom and Callum, gets to see his 18th birthday.
44:26See you, brother.
44:30Bye-bye.
44:30Bye.
45:00Bye.
