00:00This is Police Interceptors.
00:04Police Interceptors are all I find.
00:06I'm going to tell my kids we're riding.
00:08And you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
00:13Come on!
00:14Ace Pursuit drivers.
00:16Contact, contact, contact.
00:17Ten past five on.
00:18With air support.
00:19Got two outs, I'm right.
00:21I'm out!
00:22And a crack dog unit.
00:23If you leave, you will get hit.
00:27They bring down the bad guys.
00:29I believe you'll want it, mate.
00:33Keep the streets safe.
00:39And battle 24-7.
00:42Get down on the floor.
00:43In the war on crime.
00:45Crash, crash.
00:48This is what it is, isn't it?
00:49We find them, we lock them up.
00:53Coming up.
00:54All right, no, I've got to fail them.
00:56Stop.
00:57An epic battle to stop a banned driver.
01:04Stop, stop.
01:05Leads cops on a 20-minute pursuit through towns and villages.
01:08Come on!
01:13Switching seats?
01:14Yeah.
01:15Dan doesn't miss a trick.
01:18Right, you're disqualified, aren't you?
01:20Indeed, aren't you?
01:21Everyone will just watch you switch seats.
01:23And...
01:24Gonna get safer.
01:25Gonna get safer.
01:26Gonna get safer.
01:27Run!
01:31Catch of the day has a lethal stash.
01:33They're for use in the jungle, aren't they?
01:35Not in Northampton.
01:51It's the start of the evening shift and Harrison's about to hit the road with Tony Salis.
01:57I'm just gonna start mading about this car.
01:59In a three-series Beamer that's a little snug for a six-foot-something weightlifter.
02:05It's built for children.
02:07Anyone thought it's really such a unit big?
02:10Not as much a car.
02:11I'm the normal size.
02:12I'm an average-sized person.
02:17Average-sized Tony spent his spare time working out at the gym.
02:21No bad guy wants a foot race with this super-fit cop.
02:24But it's his speed on the road that's needed right now.
02:30That's a discord driver.
02:32I can't remember his call, but he's well known to us.
02:34A disqualified driver, known to the cops, has been spotted at the wheel of a BMW.
02:39He's failed to stop before.
02:41We've caught him in driving before, so it's definitely won't really want to get stopped.
02:45The target is currently in Kettering.
02:48Yeah, we're only at Junction 7 now.
02:49We'll make a bit of progress into town, and we'll be there in a couple of minutes.
02:56While the cops half expect him to put his foot down and take off,
03:00they're less worried about their suspect bailing out and running.
03:04At least if he decamps.
03:07I fancy myself.
03:08Yeah, I fancy my chances as well.
03:11Their man isn't known for his athletic prowess.
03:14Yeah, we've got it. Head on towards us.
03:19Where are they?
03:21His 140 miles per hour BMW, on the other hand, is no slouch, and it's just been spotted.
03:28London Road?
03:30Yes, sir.
03:31Straight on that way.
03:32Lloyd Mason, at the helm of an unmarked unit, is behind the target beamer.
03:42Hopefully they can nick the driver without any drama.
03:45Yeah, he might go again.
03:47In fact, he's stopped, but only to let a dapper passenger decamp.
03:53Then the driver's back to his old tricks.
03:55He's already going some on tight roads.
04:05Left, left into Russell Street.
04:09We've got a vehicle in front of us, which is Team Discord driver.
04:14Left and then left again.
04:16While Tony races round the houses to intercept...
04:20Straight down, where that car is.
04:22The lead car is all over the beamer.
04:27It's the speed of risk, speed is 4-0.
04:30I want to ask you to take that, please.
04:32The first time to office is Stinger.
04:34If we can get any motorbiles.
04:36If not, it'll be a 2-0.
04:38Plan A is to get a Stinger unit ahead of the runaway and take out his tyres.
04:43To do that, they need to predict his route.
04:46We're driving like this.
04:50Wrong way, wrong way down, Kessler Street.
04:54Is peak unpredictability.
04:56Sorry, no vehicle coming forward.
04:58It's a high risk at the moment.
04:59Coming to the air.
05:00Let's speak, wait one.
05:02Tony's ragging it round the back streets, looking for a suitable Stinger spot.
05:07Suitable on that vehicle.
05:09You've got no seat back, no body, Kessler.
05:10But conditions aren't great for getting anywhere fast.
05:13Road conditions are dry.
05:15Right, left round here and do a right down Russell Street, mate.
05:19Weather is fine.
05:21At the sharp end...
05:22..lead has a tiger by the tail.
05:31Left left on Stinger Road.
05:35There are two men on board.
05:40And the passenger's taken his life in his hands riding with this guy.
05:53Tony and Harrison need to sting it pronto, but they're chasing shadows.
06:02Right, right.
06:04It's gone.
06:06Right, right on the Princess Street.
06:09Princess Street.
06:11And while they fight to get ahead of the Beamer...
06:13Lloyd is battling to keep up with it safely.
06:24Previous encounters mean they don't think the driver will decamp.
06:31He's pinning all his hopes of a getaway on his car,
06:35so the cops have to strike with a tactic.
06:39Pirates need to block him.
06:41There's no left left in the second road, back up medium.
06:44However, there's no Stinger in place
06:46and no hope of boxing him in on these roads.
06:49They're running out of moves.
06:51See, I'm going to Stinger side soon.
06:53I'm going to leave back here.
06:54I'm going to look at the whole thing in pursuit.
06:57Harrison and Tony are running out of time
06:59to find a place to deploy the spikes.
07:03Clear left, clear left.
07:05Come on, Beamer.
07:06Give me some juice.
07:12Out front, the order to abort isn't far off
07:14and the runaway is taking crazy risks.
07:19After missing white van man by inches,
07:21he puts his foot to the floor.
07:26And soon goes wheel to wheel with Lloyd in the lead car.
07:29Five minutes in, the cops need a lucky break.
07:47And as the runaway driver pulls a high-speed Huey,
07:53they may finally have one.
07:57He's heading back towards Tony and Harrison.
08:00The BMW is racing along parallel streets at insane speeds.
08:02Nine, five.
08:03If they can get a Stinger set up in time, it just might turn towards them.
08:06One, four.
08:07I'll get out on top of Stamford Road and wait with Stinger.
08:08Have you got your Stinger gloves out, mate, or not?
08:12We're all the way down, one way to Stamford Highway.
08:13We're all the way down.
08:14One way to Stamford Highway.
08:15We're all the way down.
08:16We're all the way down.
08:17One way to Stamford Road and wait with Stinger.
08:18While the target weaves towards the Stinger team,
08:21Harrison jumps out with the spikes.
08:24The BMW is racing along parallel streets at insane speeds.
08:27Nine, five.
08:28It's the highway.
08:29If they can get a Stinger set up in time,
08:31it just might turn towards them.
08:32One, four.
08:33I'll get out on top of Stamford Road and wait with Stinger.
08:35Have you got your Stinger gloves out, mate, or not?
08:37We're all the way down.
08:38One way to Stamford Highway.
08:39Starts off the quick side of the road.
08:40We're all the way down.
08:41While the target weaves towards the Stinger team...
08:43Stinger site, potentially.
08:44...Harrison jumps out with the spikes.
08:47The interceptor needs to set up in a hurry,
09:07which isn't helped by interfering locals.
09:10Jack, get off the road!
09:14Street speed is 6-0.
09:17Go ahead, pedestrian.
09:18Do his a favour, please.
09:19Jump on the other side or anything.
09:20Run in. Run in, you are.
09:26After ten long minutes of exhausting pursuit,
09:29the driver's heading for Harrison.
09:32If he turns left here, they've got him.
09:36No dice.
09:41So it's a mad dash to another junction to roll again.
09:47Piper's Hill Road. Piper's Hill Road.
09:49Piper's Hill Road.
09:50Piper's Hill Road.
09:51Speed is 3-0.
09:56Right, right, that guy.
09:57Speak.
10:03Approaching the junction now.
10:05Harrison needs the target to turn right.
10:08On the junction with North Salvador.
10:10But left, left.
10:12The driver's got lucky again.
10:17And now, he's heading out of town.
10:24All Harrison can do is watch.
10:26He's stranded, and every car in the area
10:28is flying towards those rural roads.
10:36Including Tony, who's now in second place
10:38behind the lead car.
10:40Speed is 9-7.
10:41Speed is ready.
10:43But as cops are led into the villages,
10:46this Herculean pursuit could be all over.
10:51Richard, he's getting to no speed.
10:52At 1.1 for the PM.
10:54We stop, Mr Borkley.
11:12Interceptors are battling to tackle a runaway driver
11:14with a history of failing to stop.
11:19He's hit three times the speed limit on tight roads.
11:24For the wrong way down, one way to separate highway.
11:27Driven like a grade-A idiot through towns.
11:311-4, I'll get out on top of Stamford Road
11:32and wait with Stinger.
11:33And avoided all attempts to sting his tyres.
11:3950 minutes in, he's leading cops into the villages.
11:43We're now clear on road.
11:45It seems this driver's too dangerous to pursue.
11:49Time for the PM.
11:50We stop this.
11:51Abort this.
11:53Unless, of course...
11:54A choppy chop helicopter.
11:59...you've got a chopper.
12:05Fire pass ready.
12:06Finish out.
12:07The National Police Air Service has entered the fray,
12:11meaning cop cars can drop back
12:13and the pursuit can continue at a safe distance.
12:16If you go, I'm driving it.
12:18The operation is looking at the station.
12:21It's 660.
12:23But for all its advantages,
12:25the chopper car bring the target to a stop.
12:28For that...
12:30Cops are relying on a second Stinger team.
12:34It's quite fine to walk the plane.
12:36Harry's half a mile ahead of the target
12:37with a fresh bed of nails.
12:40Up you go, sir.
12:41Come on, walk the road.
12:43At the speed it's travelling,
12:44he's got to move like lightning.
12:47The vehicle speed is 660.
12:51Incoming.
12:52Boom.
12:59Stun, stun!
13:02It's jet.
13:03Vehicle stun, vehicle stun.
13:06Hand over hand, Harry hauls in the spikes.
13:09The runaway flies across them
13:11and the interceptor snatches the Stinger clear.
13:15Just in time to miss the lead car.
13:19Vehicle stun, vehicle stun.
13:21The tables have turned now.
13:24Track from above, tyres deflating.
13:27The BMW is on borrowed time.
13:29It's lost its front tyre at least.
13:32And Intel suggests its driver won't get far if he decamps.
13:37I'll do the running.
13:39The dead end, dead end.
13:41So this should be all over.
13:46Maybe not.
13:47He's off-road, off-road.
13:48I think he's going to go back onto St John's Road.
13:55It's desperate stuff.
13:57Speed is down to one three.
13:59But even with flat tyres...
14:01The runaway's not giving up.
14:05Second TPAC.
14:07Though with two TPAC train drivers all over him,
14:09it'd be wise to throw in the towel.
14:12Oh, he's back.
14:14He's coming all over behind us.
14:16Yes, yes.
14:18The cops need a car in front of the target.
14:21Richie, can you keep comms?
14:23To stop him once and for all.
14:25Here, get by.
14:27And with a crackpot driver waving through his open window...
14:31Tony gets by.
14:36Come on!
14:38And blocks the beamer's path.
14:41The driver rams him from behind.
14:44But the wheels have finally come off this guy's getaway.
14:48Go, go, go, go!
14:50And no-one expects a sprint finish.
14:52Get out of the car!
14:54Get out of the car!
14:56Get out of the car!
14:58Get out of the car!
15:00Get out of the car!
15:02The shell-shocked passengers led away,
15:04while most of the cops concerned themselves with the driver.
15:08Cuffs on! Cuffs on!
15:10Get him off your stomach!
15:12Shut up!
15:13Yeah, we'll get you up in a minute.
15:15Given the risks he took,
15:16no-one's best pleased with the suspect.
15:19We'll get you up in a minute.
15:20We'll get you up in a minute.
15:21You could've killed somebody.
15:22On to your side, that way.
15:23Sorry.
15:25Please don't talk me around.
15:26Sit there.
15:27Sit on your backside.
15:28Make some life choices.
15:29See you there.
15:30Please don't.
15:31Back.
15:32You are an idiot.
15:34No.
15:35You moron.
15:36You're nicked.
15:37Dangerous driver.
15:38I know, please.
15:39You could've killed somebody.
15:40I know, please.
15:41I'm panicking.
15:42What are you panicking at?
15:43I've got bad, really bad back.
15:44Yes, put some gloves on.
15:45You are, mate.
15:46I've got bad, really bad.
15:47Suffering, really bad back.
15:48Funny enough, you can drive like an idiot, can't you?
15:49A breath test is nailed on.
15:52Blade, blade, blade, blade.
15:54Which he passes.
15:55One, two, three.
15:56Straighten.
15:57There you go.
15:58Put my hands up, please.
15:59So, you're further under S in possession.
16:01Of course, P, B, Class A, substance K.
16:03You are under caution.
16:04But given the suspected coke in his pocket, it won't be the only test he takes at the roadside.
16:09Because you're driving.
16:10I didn't expect to see that.
16:11I didn't expect to see that.
16:12You've found it in your pocket.
16:13Okay?
16:14Yeah.
16:15I've now got a reasonable belief that you may be on the inference of drugs, okay?
16:19So, we're gonna do a drug wipe.
16:20All right?
16:21I can't believe you hit my car.
16:24Mate, I couldn't stop.
16:25I had no wheel tonight.
16:26Yeah, but your brake lights didn't come on, sir.
16:27You weren't pressing the brake.
16:28Obviously, mate, I slammed the brakes on.
16:29I couldn't stop.
16:30He carried on going.
16:31That's what I thought.
16:32I've hit him now.
16:33Your transport is here, sir, okay?
16:34If sir would like to step this way.
16:35You all right?
16:36Oh, and sir failed the drug wipe for cocaine.
16:37Watch your head.
16:38Watch your steps.
16:39You go ahead.
16:40Oh, man, I'm not getting there, man.
16:41You've got no choice, mate.
16:42So, you've got to go to the street.
16:43A safe end to a 20-minute town and country pursuit is a top result for everyone.
16:49Including lead car driver, Lloyd, and Team Sarge, Rich.
17:06He's a big lad, so I think he wasn't confident in a running race.
17:11So, I think he always thought he had to get away in the vehicle.
17:14And he started making more and more desperate attempts to get away from us.
17:18And those desperate attempts have done Tony's no-claims bonus, no favours.
17:24This is the second beam I've pranged.
17:27I've got to polish out.
17:28Just FYI.
17:29Take him over.
17:30And I got rammed yesterday in the ball bay.
17:35No further action was taken against the front seat passenger,
17:38who sat through a white-knuckle ride.
17:41But the driver, who led cops on a dangerous dance through a built-up area,
17:45pleaded guilty to possession of Class A,
17:47dangerous driving, driving whilst disqualified,
17:50and driving without insurance.
17:52He got a ban of three years and four months,
17:55and was sent down for 48 weeks at His Majesty's pleasure.
17:59No action was taken regarding the suspected drug driving.
18:05It's a busy summer's evening in Northampton.
18:15Black Ford Ranger.
18:16That's it, isn't it?
18:17And dog handler Dan Bradley Brophy has sniffed out a motor with a marker.
18:22It's got a marker.
18:23It's got a marker on it for the driver potentially being disqualified.
18:25So we'll just get pulled over and see who's driving.
18:26A burst of the blues.
18:27And this ban driver doesn't seem keen to see.
18:28It's a busy summer's evening in Northampton.
18:29It's a busy summer's evening in Northampton.
18:31Black Ford Ranger.
18:32That's it, isn't it?
18:33And dog handler Dan Bradley Brophy has sniffed out a motor with a marker.
18:38It's got a marker on it for the driver potentially being disqualified.
18:43So we'll just get pulled over and see who's driving.
18:47A burst of the blues.
18:49And this ban driver doesn't seem keen on pulling over either.
18:53He's not getting the memo at the moment.
19:03He's giving me the four-way flasher, so we'll see.
19:06There's two people in the car.
19:10Switching seats.
19:12Yeah.
19:16And one doesn't want to be found in the hot seat.
19:23Right, you're disqualified, aren't you?
19:24There's me driving.
19:25No, I've just watched you switch seats.
19:27At the moment, you're arrested for driving whilst disqualified.
19:33So I've just watched you drive and I've just watched you switch seats.
19:36If you want to play that game, I'll lock you up for obstruct as well.
19:39Dan's man in the passenger side is the disqualified driver he was looking for.
19:44But that might not be the only reason for the musical chairs.
19:48He's going to be drunk as well, I'd imagine, so I just need a breath kit.
19:51Huh?
19:52I'm not drunk.
19:53I'm not drunk.
19:54Well, I can smell alcohol on you, mate.
19:55Yeah, I can't be.
19:56And you've got two points of calm in Saturday, so...
19:57Yeah, yeah.
19:58They're both mine.
19:59They're both yours, mate.
20:00So you're driving drunk as well, aren't you?
20:01So, shall we breathalise you?
20:02I've never been.
20:03I've never been.
20:04So, have you been driving as well?
20:05Anyway.
20:06So, I can tell you're going to be over the limit and he's in the over the limit.
20:1220 years into the job, Dan is wise to virtually every trick in the criminal book.
20:17One of his favourite movies is Dumb and Dummy.
20:20And with backup on hand to help handle drunk and drunker...
20:25He's maintained that he's driving, but he's also drunk as well, so we might end up having
20:29two in for this.
20:30..things go from bad to worse when one of the pair reaches for a pint glass.
20:34Have to get another one, then.
20:35We've got a nice guy.
20:36What?
20:37Get another one, then.
20:38Don't let the stats off me, please.
20:39Anyway.
20:40Please don't get out of the car.
20:42Mate.
20:43Mate.
20:44Out of the car.
20:45Get out of the car, now.
20:47Get out of the car.
20:48Get out of the car.
20:49Please.
20:50Get out of the car.
20:51I've got a broken shoulder.
20:52I've got a broken shoulder.
20:55Out of the head.
20:56I haven't done nothing.
20:57Stop pissing about.
20:58I'm not done.
20:59Stop that.
21:00I haven't done nothing.
21:01I haven't done nothing.
21:03One look at the parva spray stops his mate from kicking off, too.
21:07So, listen to me.
21:08You don't...
21:09You're under arrest at the moment.
21:10You've been told what to do and you're just mucking about at the moment, aren't you?
21:13I'm really not.
21:14You are.
21:15I promise you I'm not...
21:16You're sitting here and just lying to me about...
21:18I watched you drive.
21:19I watched you swap seats.
21:20You're drunk and you're disqualified.
21:22You shouldn't be on the road.
21:23I promise you I'm not.
21:25Promises, promises.
21:27He didn't get asked to get out.
21:29No, he didn't.
21:30They've dragged you out.
21:32Right.
21:33Sit up.
21:34Be a grown man and start acting like a child.
21:36Drinking anything before a breath test could compromise the result.
21:40Not to mention the danger a pint glass could pose in the wrong hands.
21:44You...
21:45No, I didn't do nothing.
21:46So, you know you're getting breathalysed and you just try to take a drink to...
21:49No.
21:50Yes, you did.
21:51We just watched you do it.
21:52This is why we're in this situation right now.
21:54With peace restored...
21:55Hey, you all right?
21:56You all right?
21:57You all right?
21:58Yeah!
21:59You all right?
22:00Yeah!
22:01The drunk duo faced the breath test.
22:03Right, so you failed, all right?
22:04You've blown 53.
22:05Sir?
22:06What was I supposed to do?
22:0735.
22:0835.
22:09Sir?
22:10What was I supposed to do?
22:1135.
22:12I'm not even that much over, you know.
22:14You're under arrest.
22:15Unsurprisingly, it's double trouble.
22:17Analyse now and give me results.
22:19Both are over the limit.
22:2149.
22:22Um, Darren, you're also under arrest for driving whilst over the prescribed limit, so of course
22:26you still stand...
22:27Yeah, so you're going to get engines, which is wrong.
22:29And the disqualified drunk driver is still refusing to hold his hands up.
22:34So, it's a myth.
22:36Well, it's obviously been right, because you've been driving tonight, so...
22:38I wasn't done with it.
22:39You say I was.
22:40I wasn't driving...
22:41That's fine.
22:42When you come to that door, I was not driving this vehicle, so...
22:44No, because you just jumped over.
22:45Did I?
22:46I just watched you do it, pal, so...
22:49You've been caught.
22:50Let's take responsibility.
22:51If you want to drive around drunk and disqualified, that's up to you, but you have to take responsibility
22:54for that.
22:55I do.
22:56I take responsibility for my actions when I do something that's wrong, but I ain't done nothing wrong.
23:00Thanks to that seat switcheroo, the double act are both paying a visit to custody.
23:05Get this guy away from me, please.
23:07I don't know.
23:08I hate my shoe.
23:09You took my shoe off.
23:10Stop behaving like a shoe off.
23:12You took my shoe off.
23:13You're behaving like a shoe off.
23:14You just stood on my foot.
23:16You're behaving like a shoe off.
23:17Get in the fan.
23:18You just stood on my foot.
23:20You're on purpose.
23:21I will get in.
23:22If you allow me to, just get in.
23:24I will get in.
23:25What makes me laugh is that the disqualified driver, all those...
23:36I've seen him clearly swap seats.
23:38He's now got his mate in trouble, who's only got a provisional licence and has drunk himself.
23:44So they're both in custody because of his actions.
23:47So, you know, he needs to have a bit of a word for himself.
23:51As the night draws in, Dan is waiting for the ranger to be recovered when he notices another
23:57lad hanging around.
23:59You look like a man who's got a question.
24:01Yeah.
24:02This is mine.
24:03Is it?
24:04It's been recovered, I'm afraid, mate.
24:05What do you mean?
24:06It's been taken to our compound.
24:08Yeah, but it's mine.
24:09I'll come out and have a chat with you rather than...
24:11Yeah.
24:13Who was driving it?
24:15It's supposed to be with a lad called Phil.
24:17Phil.
24:18Okay.
24:19So, obviously, Phil wasn't driving it.
24:20Another lad was.
24:21He's disqualified and drunk.
24:22So, it's been recovered anyway, so...
24:25Just give me the keys.
24:26No, no.
24:27No.
24:31So, if you need it, it'll go to CMG at Sixfields.
24:34Okay, cool.
24:38He's turned up, also under influence, demanding that his vehicle back to him and need to give
24:44him the keys.
24:45So, that's what happens.
24:46So, we're just going to hang around for a bit and just make sure this gets recovered
24:49safely.
24:50And we don't have another drink driver come along and try and take this ranger away.
24:53Otherwise, that'd be three for the price of one.
24:55Two for the price of one is good going.
25:02The lad who claimed to be the driver was convicted of being drunk in charge of a vehicle and given
25:0610 penalty points on his license.
25:10His mate was convicted of driving whilst drunk, disqualified and without insurance.
25:15Cops also found cannabis on him in custody.
25:18He was ordered to do 150 hours of unpaid work, banned from driving for 36 months and sentenced
25:28to 20 weeks behind bars.
25:30You know, a couple of tons of motor, that could have caused a lot of damage.
25:38You know, he could quite easily hurt somebody, including himself.
25:41So, I'm glad we've got this and him off the road tonight.
25:45That's the whole point of this, is to make the roads a bit safer from people like him.
25:49Coming up.
25:56There it is.
26:00Suspected deals on wheels.
26:02You say there is some weed in there?
26:03Yeah, there was some weed in there, yeah.
26:06And...
26:07Come on, we're going to lift the drone.
26:12Something that's very quick coming towards.
26:15A hump of bikers on a crime spree.
26:19Okay, further under arrest, a position of bloody article.
26:36As technology advances with vehicles like electric motorcycles, so too does the criminal MO.
26:48If you use it responsibly, they're fantastic pieces of kit.
26:51But it's those that are using it irresponsibly, people using them to do things like transport
26:57drugs or stolen items or just getting away from cops in general.
27:02I think there could be a real terror, but we improvise, we adapt, we overcome.
27:08If people are going to start using different vehicles to commit crime,
27:12we're going to start using different tactics to deal with it.
27:24On the night shift, Charlie Ward and co-pilot Keith Gay are hunting for bikers on a burglary spree.
27:30I think they've done...
27:33I'd say 14 in a couple of weeks.
27:36So it's obviously...
27:38Fairfew a night.
27:39Yeah.
27:40Obviously on mopeds.
27:41They'll take to pavements, pathways, alleyways.
27:44So when we're in the cars, we're kind of struggling to get after them.
27:51As well as tearing off-road, it's believed the burglars have ditched their motorcycle's number plate,
27:56allowing them to ride under the radar of the ANPR network.
28:00Yeah, go all the way to the bottom.
28:03Mm-hm.
28:05Some thieves on bikes also carry knives.
28:08So to get the upper hand, a whole team are assembling with a host of tactics at the ready.
28:14We're going to get the drone up and see if we can spot it for a little bit
28:19and try, if possible, to get a stinger out in front of it as well.
28:23We're allowed to use TPAC on this bike if it comes out, I think.
28:26Because it's committed so many crimes, they obviously, powers that be, want to get it stopped.
28:31So hopefully they'll come out to play.
28:37Keith's a fan of the fishing series' deadliest catch
28:40and on this evening's voyage to net two potentially armed burglars...
28:46They camped here and they ran down that alleyway.
28:49They're trying their look, trawling the streets near where the bikers were last seen.
28:56Looks like, er, so it's a dead end and then maybe footpaths.
28:59And then it goes out onto the golf course, doesn't it?
29:02Yeah.
29:07This is definitely the area that they'll use to...
29:10to scoot through, avoiding the roads.
29:13But will the duo get a bite tonight?
29:24Oh, there we go.
29:25There we go.
29:26Romeo, Papa, one, two.
29:29Two Saurons.
29:30I've just gone into the Borough, Fields and Barn, both two up.
29:35They're in.
29:36Two Sauron electric motorcycles take off across fields.
29:43Come on, we're gonna lift the drone.
29:44Some of these electric bikes harness top speeds of nearly 70 miles an hour.
29:52So, while other units circle to intercept...
29:55Are they gonna come back this way, Charlie?
29:57Keith tries to get eyes on with the drone.
30:03And Charlie casts out a stinger on a nearby footpath.
30:06Can't work if that's somebody on a bike or walking.
30:11Actually, it's coming.
30:13There's one coming, mate.
30:15Something that's very quick coming towards.
30:20No, it's not. It's both.
30:21Now, now, now, now.
30:22No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
30:23It's not. Go on, go on, go on.
30:25What?
30:26Not looking for you. Go on.
30:28They're a red herring.
30:30How are you doing?
30:31Not you.
30:35I'm happy you saw the push bike, huh?
30:38Yeah, I was looking at him as he was coming.
30:39I was like, that's not, that's not a Sauron.
30:45However, a short distance away, another unit have an electric bike on the hook.
30:50I imagine they're gonna go straight to the race course, which I'm not gonna get in.
30:54After a brush with the law...
30:59One of the suspects, who could have a weapon, is making a run for it.
31:04Mate, don't run!
31:05Go on now!
31:08One's running in the race course.
31:09Two on the ground!
31:12Mate, you're gonna get tailored.
31:14You're gonna get tailored.
31:15You're gonna get tailored.
31:16Go on the ground!
31:19I've got one on the floor on the race course.
31:21The other one's driven off.
31:22Oh!
31:23Oh!
31:24Oh!
31:26Oh!
31:27Oh!
31:28Towards Ketvin Road.
31:30Sounds like they've got one.
31:31Clearly they use this as a regular route to avoid the police, so we'll see what happens.
31:37Right, put your hands out.
31:38Put your hands out.
31:39Oh, my feet!
31:41The squealing suspect has escaped 50,000 volts, but he's lucky not to have injured himself.
31:46Well, I've got this.
31:48I've got this knife on me, yeah?
31:49You've got what?
31:50I've got a weapon.
31:51You've got a weapon?
31:52Yeah.
31:53What weapon?
31:54Where is it?
31:55In my neck.
31:56Right, don't move.
31:57Right, lie yourself back.
31:58I'm gonna take the weapon out, okay?
32:00Make any sudden movements, you'll get tasered.
32:02Do you understand?
32:03I'm just gonna pull your trousers up and take hold of it.
32:07Alright?
32:08Okay, further under arrest, a special bloody article.
32:17It turns out the man is not one of the burglary suspects.
32:21I thought anything you do say may be given in evidence.
32:23But getting this sword off the streets is a huge win for the interceptors.
32:28Good little job.
32:29Not the one we were looking for, but good job.
32:32That's gonna do some serious damage.
32:34I wouldn't want to be on the end of that, definitely.
32:37Nasty bit of kit.
32:39They're for use in the jungle, aren't they?
32:41Not in Northampton.
32:46The runner pleaded guilty to possession of a blade
32:48and was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months.
32:53The sword was seized.
33:02He's just done a deal to the guy in the red hat.
33:04With an ear to the ground and an eye on who's about,
33:08Op Revive make it their mission to go after suspected drug dealers.
33:13Get down, get down, get down!
33:16Whether it's knocking on doors...
33:18That's it, one more.
33:20Here you go, here you go.
33:22Stopping motors...
33:23Yeah, it's here, it's here, mate.
33:24Yeah, got it.
33:27...or stretching their legs...
33:28Go, go, go.
33:32He's running back down towards you.
33:34...every ounce of intel is investigated.
33:38We've recovered both bags of drugs.
33:40It's huge bags of rock powder.
33:41This afternoon...
33:55Drug dealing happening as we speak.
33:57What's that?
33:58A member of the public has reported a drug deal taking place in a parked car.
34:05Wollaston.
34:09And, armed with the Reg, Connor Shorten and Jay Cheema...
34:14...are heading to the location on the hurry-up.
34:16At least it's the one male, innit?
34:21Sweet.
34:29If he is stealing, they want to catch him in the act.
34:34But it looks like the suspect is on the move.
34:41There it is.
34:43If you had a 10th score, we've just gone past it.
34:46A quick 180...
34:49...and they're closing in on the target Toyota.
34:53Take a third exit going towards the Terminals Mill Lane.
34:57We've got no car for cover now.
34:59He's driving, as quietly as it is.
35:02We're going to attempt to do a stop as we get onto Donator Road.
35:05They're in the open, but the suspect has no idea it's the boys behind...
35:09...as they're in Connor's patrol car of choice.
35:15An unmarked Astra.
35:19We might have to go...
35:21...series is going left-left towards Windsor Road.
35:23It's time to reveal themselves.
35:30Lights and a Honk does the job.
35:31You all right?
35:32How you doing, buddy?
35:33You all right?
35:34Yeah, good, thanks.
35:35Do you mind just taking the keys after the action?
35:37So, we've had information to suggest that you have been seen...
35:41...potentially dealing drugs.
35:43Oh, no, no.
35:44That's fine.
35:45It's for the purpose of a stop, sir.
35:47So, if you just hand me your keys for now and step out of the vehicle...
35:50Vehicle stings cannabis.
35:51Within seconds, the interceptors are sure they're on to something.
35:53Is there anything we need to know about?
35:54No, there's nothing.
35:55Because there is a strong smell coming from that.
35:56It's...
35:57Obviously, I'm...
35:58Why are you recording me?
35:59I don't want to be recording, man.
36:00Hang on, mate.
36:01That's fine.
36:02I'm not going to lie, but...
36:03Yeah.
36:04That's fine.
36:05That's fine.
36:06We're going to put you in cost first.
36:07I know, that's cool, but I can't help my...
36:08You know what I mean?
36:09Don't worry about that.
36:10Once cuffed, Jay begins the search, which soon yields some cash.
36:39Meanwhile, Griff has arrived to give the car a once-over.
36:43You say there is some weed in there?
36:44Yeah, there was some weed in there, yeah.
36:45How much are you talking?
36:46Not a lot.
36:47Just a little bit of weed, isn't it?
36:48Whereabouts is it?
36:49It doesn't look well.
36:55The little bit of weed turns out to be 20 individually wrapped bags.
37:00It's got a quantity of...
37:04Ds in different sizes, different... different bags.
37:07Their tip-off could be right.
37:09So, at this point, you're an arrest for fishing of...
37:12No, I told you I've got it, yeah.
37:13..person with intent to supply drugs.
37:14Do you understand?
37:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:16Yep, so...
37:19Before the suspect heads off for an interview,
37:21he's got one more question to answer.
37:24Because you've been driving a vehicle...
37:26Yeah.
37:27..and the drugs have been found in your vehicle,
37:29I've got a house that has been delivered from you.
37:31OK.
37:32By this device called Drug Swipe.
37:34Is that just for, like, cannabis or anything?
37:36A test for two? Cannabis and cocaine?
37:38Yeah, that's right.
37:39I did smoke cannabis probably about two days...
37:41Two days ago.
37:42OK.
37:43If you smoke it regularly, it may...
37:44It's a screening device.
37:45Yeah, that's why I'm...
37:46So it gives us an indication, OK?
37:47I've generally not smoked it for, like, two days.
37:49I think it was, like...
37:50Maybe a day and a half.
37:52Cannabis can be detected in saliva up to 30 hours after last use.
37:59Can you put your tongue up for me?
38:02OK, the test takes eight minutes to provide a result.
38:07The one positive of the day for him...
38:09I can't see a trace line. Can you?
38:12No.
38:13No trace line. It's a negative call.
38:16..is a negative test.
38:18All right.
38:20A further search of the vehicle reveals no more drugs,
38:23but he does have a couple of mobile phones.
38:26Yeah, well, I suppose your phones have been seized,
38:29so I bet they need to be turned off.
38:31The activity on the phones can be downloaded as evidence.
38:34And alongside the cash and the weed,
38:37it's a decent haul for the team.
38:39Yeah, good result.
38:40Yeah, it's what we want, isn't it?
38:42We want to go after the dealers and get one.
38:44It's a happy day.
38:45Go, go, everything.
38:52The dealing charge was dropped.
38:54However, the suspect pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis
38:58and had to pay £111.
39:10Still to come...
39:11All the actual tyre's gone.
39:13It's just...
39:14Well, it's just knackered, isn't it?
39:16..a blown-out tyre leads to a breathalyser.
39:19It's going to be...
39:20I'd say it's going to be about a 40.
39:23OK.
39:24Oh, it's a little bit more than that.
39:26Thank you, Simon.
39:27Oh, no, no.
39:29I've already done that.
39:30following reports of a dodgy driver on the a roads Ian bomber Bayliss is playing catch-up to
39:52intercept there's a black Astra that's driving a little bit recklessly doesn't seem to be able
40:00to keep in its lane and then we've had a further phone call from someone else saying that the black
40:07Astra has got a damaged tire but it's continued to drive this bits of debris coming off it so yeah
40:14so we're just gonna go in and use a tea pack tactic to get it stopped advanced driver bomber
40:21is a master of the tea pack a.k.a blocking in suspects trying to make their escape
40:26team Sarge Tony Payne is already behind the struggling three-wheeled Astra
40:37TP I'm with you and with the driver failing to stop albeit at a snail's pace
40:45bomber and TP waste no time locking on a two-car tea pack
40:53all right buddy let's jump out road rave over I think I think you've managed it though come on I know I
41:22might look like he's off to an old-school rave but it seems the clueless driver mistook the blue
41:29lights for a police escort home a four-mile journey home on this
41:50no chance all the actual tires gone it's it's just it's knackered in it check the air pressure no
42:01it's gone which leads Tony to question whether anything is clouding the chap's judgment I know
42:10you are but the problem is is that when I spoke to you you stink of alcohol having just one alcoholic
42:17drink before jumping behind the wheel can slow reaction times right have you had any alcohol in
42:24the last 20 minutes color points in 20 minutes not in the last 20 and the interceptors want to know
42:30if booze might have contributed to this blowout no idea nice deep breath and blow into the tube until I
42:40tell you to stop go on keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going stop lovely job sweepstay
42:47come on it's gonna be close I think I do yeah I think it'll be close close well 35 is the magic
42:53number it's gonna be I'd say it's gonna be about 40 okay always a little bit more than that 72 what
43:02yeah yeah look it's there you can see it at double the limit he's nicked on suspicion of drink driving
43:09and failing to stop next port of call custody what made you think that the man driving his car on
43:26three wheels was intoxicated I mean to be fair he's done a really good job on that you don't often see
43:38a tire with this much well missing from it to be honest and obviously it could have been incredibly
43:43dangerous you know driving at the first mile down on a dual carriageway whilst drunk you've got heavy
43:48coming down a double that sort of speed it really is a menace to society so you know he looks funny in
43:54a silly hat but in reality that I could have ended very differently today the fail to stop charge was
44:05dropped in cause however he was convicted of drink driving and using a car with equipment likely to
44:11cause danger of injury he was banned for 16 months and had to pay almost 1600 pounds in fines and costs
44:20and this lady jack is the law
44:25and the law are back for more new next monday at eight intercepting dogs behaving very badly
44:36graham hall is back for a new series of mutt management tomorrow at eight and you'd think a
44:4290 minute police pursuit would be enough to convict suspect number one but it's never quite that easy
44:48as you'll find out brand new next on fife
44:51you
