00:02This is Police Interceptors
00:04Police Interceptors
00:06I'm going to tell my kids about this
00:08And you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire
00:13Come on
00:14Ace Pursuit Drivers
00:15Contact, contact, contact
00:17With air support
00:19Got two out, stand by
00:21And 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
00:38And battle 24-7
00:42Get down on the floor
00:43In the war on crime
00:45Crash, crash
00:48Here's what it is, isn't it?
00:49We find them, we lock them up
00:53Coming up
00:55Vehicle's trying to run this way out
00:56Stand by
00:57A fast food fan is in one heck of a hurry
01:01One running parallel to the A4 team
01:05I think he might go mate if he get out
01:07A shifty looking beamer lays down the gauntlet
01:11Yeah, yeah, get in
01:13One, one, got a vehicle fighting to stop
01:15Buick Road, Northampton
01:19And
01:21An act of senseless violence
01:23Kicks up an evening of chaos for the cops
01:26Remember, hand behind your back
01:46It's the weekend
01:48Typically the busiest time for any police officer
01:51Especially those on the night shift
01:54In Northamptonshire
01:56With more than two decades experience
01:58Policing between them
01:59Firearms cops, Tony and Nathan
02:02Know exactly what lies in store
02:04Tonight is Saturday night
02:07Which means we're going to get
02:08Drink drivers
02:09Fights
02:10There's a big FA Cup game today
02:14Is it Northampton and Kettering
02:16Northampton, Kettering
02:17And Kettering 1
02:18Which is a big shock
02:19There's going to be a lot of
02:21Intoxicated people from that
02:23You can still edit doors
02:24It's only half nine
02:25But I'd imagine there's going to be
02:26A lot of fights
02:26And a larger driver's tonight
02:39It's now the early hours
02:41And at this town centre night spot
02:43The evening has passed largely without incident
02:47Until now
02:50A man on the street
02:51Has launched his boot into the frontage
02:54As a group of shock revellers gather to watch
02:56He does it again
02:58And again
03:00Until all four windows have been shattered
03:04Moments later
03:04He's wrestled to the ground by the bar's bouncer
03:10Yeah, I think the door staff starts dealing with him
03:13On the outskirts of town
03:15Dog handler Sean
03:16Is the closest interceptor to the action
03:20Yeah, I can go down there
03:23What's he doing with him?
03:24What do you mean he's got entertained?
03:26As always Sean has German Shepherd Peggy in the boot
03:31Copied
03:32It's at the top end by Brady and Northampton
03:36But the boozed up chaos of a busy nightlife area
03:39Isn't a safe space for a police dog
03:41Yeah, Delta 5 or 10, 6
03:43We're not very popular with quite a few of them
03:47So Sean must step into this uncertain
03:50And potentially hostile situation alone
03:53I'm sure you've probably seen
03:54Hello
03:55Every single one of our windows just at the bottom there
03:57They'll smash
03:58He's done that, has he?
03:59Yeah, he's done it
03:59So we've got him detained on the floor at the minute
04:01Right, come back
04:01Thank you very much
04:05Yeah, I'm going to need transport
04:06He smashed all the windows at the pub
04:08It turns out the bloke who kicked the window was a disgruntled drinker
04:12Who'd been ejected and refused re-entry
04:15Let's just make sure someone watches my van
04:19He's still on the pavement under the watchful eye of the bouncer
04:39The bloke's using all his strength to resist the cuffs
04:47You're going to be an idiot
04:49You're going to be an idiot
04:50Okay, you're on your front then
04:52Can you go on the front then?
04:53Yep
04:55Fortunately, the bouncer is on Team Interceptor
04:58Put your other hand behind the back
05:02Other hand behind your back
05:08And with the help of a second member of the doorstaff team
05:11The window kicker is finally in cuffs
05:25The prime suspect may be secured
05:27But this whole scenario is rapidly becoming a powder keg
05:37Especially for a cop on his own
05:44Sean needs extra muscle ASAP
05:50Come on, Volvo
05:51This pair will do nicely
05:54He's struggling, trying to control one of them by himself
05:57Doorstaffer having to run over to help him
06:00So just going to give him assistance
06:02Left, left
06:04Before becoming a cop, man-mounting Tony was in the army
06:08These days his passions are rugby, red meat and lifting weights
06:12Which is also known as the tough guy holy trinity
06:16Through there
06:17Through his gap here
06:21His partner tonight, Nathan, also knows his way around the gym
06:27These two should be able to keep a lid on any simmering tensions
06:42There's now more than 50 people spilling out on the streets
06:45When I'm going to talk to you
06:47We don't need to talk to you, okay
06:48So off you go
06:49Off you go
06:54Keeping the mob calm
06:55And the suspect secured
06:57Is like walking a slippery tightrope
06:59All they're doing is rolling you onto your side
07:03You don't need to move
07:08Because the man resisted when he was being coughed
07:11He says his arm hurts
07:16But his shouting seems to light a fuse with the crowd
07:24With camera phones in their faces
07:26The police do their best to keep the onlookers contained
07:29But tensions soon reach boiling point
07:34In the melee, a woman swings her leg at one of the interceptors
07:38Big mistake
07:41Every two, you need to come down Ampton Street
07:43You need to do it now
07:48As the police attempt to restrain her
07:50Friends rush to her defence
07:54And another woman has to be pulled off
07:57Their one job now
07:58To stop things spiralling completely out of control
08:03You're off with me
08:04You're throwing me
08:20In Northampton
08:21Dog handler Sean raced to the town centre
08:24To detain a man who'd been kicking in windows at a popular bar
08:29But when a crowd of party goers turned on the cops
08:32And one woman swung a leg at one of the interceptors
08:35Things erupted into chaos
08:47Latching out as a police officer
08:49Is one of the quickest ways to get yourself nicked
08:52I'm going to take you
08:52What have I done?
08:54You're assaulting a police officer
08:55How did I assault a police officer?
09:11I'll keep you out of yourself
09:1115 minutes after Sean first rocked up
09:14The riot van's arrived
09:18But now it's a taxi for two
09:22And with that
09:24It's finally time to hit the road
09:32There's quite a few there
09:33More than I anticipated
09:34When they gave the original call out
09:36And the crowd was quite hostile straight away
09:40The language towards the police car on our arrival
09:42Didn't bode well
09:43And obviously on my own
09:44You can't get the dog out just at that
09:47For a group
09:47And I didn't see the chap who was on the floor
09:49Because of the crowd
09:50Then the bouncers have come over
09:52And explained that
09:53They've smashed all the windows
09:54On the pub
09:55So I've tried to arrest him
09:56For the criminal damage
09:57At which point he's just kicked off
09:59And tried to throw the bouncer off
10:00And try and get up
10:01So I ended up in a bit of a melee on the floor
10:03Trying to get him in handcuffs
10:05And then I had to just wait
10:06Till everybody else to arrive
10:07But it's one of those situations
10:08Where you've got people behind you
10:09And I can hear glass breaking
10:11And it's not a nice place to be
10:12When you're on your own
10:13And the dog's not out of the car
10:15Tony predicted a busy night
10:17And he was bang on the money
10:22And it's not good news from the Nick
10:25Just been told
10:26The Northampton custody suite
10:28Is full
10:29They can't accept any more prisoners
10:32Therefore the two prisoners we've got
10:33We've now got to go
10:36To Kettering
10:39The worry of the thing is
10:40There's still another
10:40Two and a half
10:41Three hours left of their drinking time
10:43Which means it's only going to get worse
10:45There's now
10:45No space in custody
10:47No officers on the street
10:49Drunken behaviour and alcohol related incidents
10:52Put a massive strain on police resources
10:54In England and Wales
10:56Almost 40% of violent crime cases
10:59Are thought to be fuelled by booze
11:01At custody the man has finally stopped lashing out
11:09Giving Tony a glimpse of his ankle jewellery
11:12What's the tag for
11:16It's unlikely his probation officer
11:18Will be thrilled to hear about tonight's antics
11:22But for the interceptors this evening
11:24A rapid response
11:25Helped defuse a highly combustible situation
11:30When Sean shouts for help
11:32Because we work so close to the day of these and the dogs
11:34There's not many of us
11:35So when one of us goes somewhere
11:37And one of us shouts for help
11:38No matter where we are
11:39The rest of us will drop what we're doing
11:40And try and make as quick as we can to help them
11:42We're a very tight-knit team
11:44And we work as a family
11:47Disperse most of the crowd
11:47And as it stands
11:48We've got two and Kessie a minute
11:49And hopefully
11:50That's done for the rest of the night
11:52After the night
11:53At Kettering Nick
11:54The woman was released without charge
11:56However
11:58Window Smasher was interviewed
11:59In relation to the suspected criminal damage
12:01And later pleaded guilty in court
12:03He was ordered to pay nearly £200 in fines and costs
12:17One white male driver
12:18No other occupants
12:20A high-speed pursuit
12:22Through the red ATS
12:24Is like a heavyweight fight
12:26It's going round and round about
12:28It's a reciprocal
12:29Your opponent can duck and dive
12:32You alright?
12:33Yep
12:33And even land the occasional left hook
12:36I believe it's made contact with another vehicle
12:40But the toughest part of any contest
12:43Confirm you want an abort, abort
12:45Is knowing when to throw in the towel
12:48Vehicle's continuing towards Kettering
12:51I have aborted
12:55If for whatever reason
12:56We've had a vehicle fail to stop
12:58And we haven't been able to get a tactic in place
13:01It's really frustrating
13:03The upside is
13:04If we're able to still locate the car
13:06Afterwards
13:08There's so much evidence within that car
13:10And also it's just a little tick in the box for us
13:12Because if it's a stolen car
13:14Then it's no longer stolen
13:17We've recovered that car
13:18If it's just a no-docs vehicle
13:20When you've taken that car off the road
13:22It's one less uninsured driver on the road
13:24Who may have had a crash
13:26So there are actually a load of benefits
13:29To get in that car
13:30Even if you don't get the driver
13:32So you haven't really lost anything
13:45Right, go wait up
13:47You know by the school down here?
13:49Oh yeah, there
13:51It's Thursday evening
13:52And Chris and Callum have been sent on a mission
13:55We're waiting for a vehicle
13:56With some very loose drugs intel on
13:59To drive past
14:00So we're just going to park up
14:02And see if we can see who's in it
14:03And just see how it reacts basically
14:06The suspect motor, a Ford Cougar
14:08Pinged a local ANPR camera a few minutes ago
14:13That's a Cougar, I think
14:15I think that's a woman driving it though, mate
14:16But it is a black Cougar
14:18That is going to be the car
14:19Yeah, that is it
14:20The boys are in the marked car
14:22So the Cougar surely clocked them
14:25I didn't notice him paying as much attention though
14:28He's committing, isn't he, on to the
14:30Oh, hello
14:34Now a sharp burst of acceleration from that Beamer up ahead
14:37Has tweaked Chris's copper's nose
14:40Sorry, I'm more interested in this now
14:41I know
14:42Sounds like the Cougar will have to wait
14:45I don't know why he was accelerating so hard
14:47I can't try this one
14:51Callum runs the Beamer's particulars
14:54Involving traffic offences in Derbyshire
14:57In October
14:58This bloke's definitely worth a sniff
15:02Oh, that's interesting
15:04The drive is taking two successive left turns
15:07Not a crime in itself
15:08But it's definitely raising flags
15:11Just doing a strange old route
15:13Yeah
15:13Someone can mark it out there as well
15:17Advanced driver Chris says
15:18The best advice he's ever received on the force
15:21Is that two lefts don't make a right
15:25Do you like that?
15:27So he shows him the blues
15:30And the fella complies
15:32You really stop in there?
15:35But the boys smell a rat
15:38I think he might go, mate, if you get out
15:41Yeah, let's put it on the brake
15:43Callum decides to test him
15:46Yeah, yeah, get in
15:49Go
15:511-1, got a vehicle phone to stop
15:53Buick Road, Northampton
15:56The Sporty 3 Series has shot off like a rocket
15:59But the boys are in a Beamer 2
16:01A 340i packing 369 horses
16:06Can I give you the red, please?
16:08But there's not good news from control
16:13The Lumbertubs right north
16:15What's the thing you want to do?
16:18The situation has been deemed unsafe for the boys to pursue
16:22So they've got little choice
16:23But to abort
16:26Knew he's going to go
16:28One mod, he was doing excess speed when we got behind him
16:31He was doing well excess
16:32And 100 miles an hour up Lumbertubs
16:33He's just gone on into the distance
16:35Now Lumbertubs North
16:37But they haven't lost sight of him completely
16:40He's actually, we can see in the distance
16:41He's going into the eastern district
16:42He's hazards on, he's stopped
16:44He's got his hazards on
16:46So what's he playing at?
16:49Can we have the dog towards us?
16:51He's gone in towards Thorplands
16:52Can the dog just head towards anywhere?
16:53I know we can't pursue him
16:54But he's gone into an estate
16:55He's probably going to decamp
16:57But just as quickly as he reappeared
16:59The suspect vanishes once more
17:03Left forward
17:03Keep going, Val
17:04Keep going, Val
17:06The boys crisscross the area
17:07For the next ten minutes
17:12I reckon that left, mate
17:13When we came in
17:14Because I reckon they came in left decamp
17:16We'll get out of a look
17:20They soon receive intel
17:21That the suspect Beamer
17:23Has been ditched in another housing estate nearby
17:26For the offence of failing to stop for police
17:29We can, if we locate the vehicle
17:30Even if no one's with it
17:31We've got a power of seizure
17:33To seize the vehicle
17:34So if we find it
17:35We'll certainly be having it away
17:38When they arrive on the scene
17:40The dog handler's already there
17:42And he's had a good look around the motor
17:44There's scratches all the way around it
17:47Bonnets, sides
17:48Oh dear
17:49Tyres are knackered
17:50Oh look at that
17:51Let's take that alloy
17:54This poor old 3 series
17:55This poor old 3 series has certainly been through the wars
17:58Oh, he's got the seat reclined in
18:01Insert your own word for it here mode
18:03Yeah
18:04Yeah, you see all the cannabis dust and crap in the seats
18:07The car is registered to a private business in Leicestershire
18:11And once police have tracked down the owner
18:13They'll have a few questions to answer
18:15About who was behind the wheel this evening
18:18And they'll need to fork out a few hundred quid
18:21If they want it released from the pound
18:24It's a shame obviously
18:25We haven't got somebody out of it
18:26And someone in custody
18:27But we've got to take a win
18:28Where there's a win
18:29And we've taken the vehicle off of him
18:32So he's going to have to pay the fees
18:33To get it back
18:34He or she
18:36They're going to have to also
18:37Give us a line of inquiry
18:39To see who's been driving it tonight
18:40I identify who's decided not to stop for us
18:43And they've driven like a wally
18:45So now it's a good result really overall
18:48And I've talked with them
18:49As well kneel to us for the night
18:53Despite thorough investigation
18:54It couldn't be established
18:56Who was behind the wheel during the pursuit
19:00With no definitive evidence identifying the driver
19:02The case was eventually filed
19:07Coming up
19:09Harrison takes one for the team
19:11Yeah, vehicle's trying to ramp its way out
19:13In a minute, stand by
19:14And later
19:15Reverse ramp, reverse ramp
19:17Reverse ramp, vehicle's been ramped
19:19So did Chris and Callum
19:23Give me your arms now
19:24Get out now
19:26We'll take this
19:41It's ramming up
19:42It's ramming up
19:44A suspect doesn't need a gun
19:46Or a knife
19:47To be armed and dangerous
19:50It's rammed out vehicle
19:52Because in the wrong hands
19:54A two-ton motor
19:56Can be a deadly weapon
19:59We're being rammed
20:00We're being rammed
20:03It's always in the back of your mind
20:05That you have to deal with
20:06People trying to ram you
20:08Sometimes they'll get into reverse
20:10And try reverse ramming us
20:12And other times
20:13They'll try
20:15Knocking us off the road
20:16As we're trying to do tactics
20:17To resolve the pursuit
20:18And inherently
20:20It is quite dangerous
20:21And sometimes it results in a car
20:23Being off the road for a few weeks
20:25The main thing
20:26As long as I get to go home
20:27At the end of the day
20:27I'm happy
20:45It's dinnertime on a Thursday
20:47And Harrison is hungry
20:52For his next job
20:56Because tonight
20:57The interceptors have
20:58Unfinished business
21:00We had a vehicle yesterday
21:02That Leicestershire passed
21:04Just saying it's a
21:05Clone Santa Fe
21:07We're in Irish
21:08We went after it last night
21:10And it disappeared
21:10Into a sort of rural area
21:12Near Despera
21:13On the border
21:15We've got to go after it
21:16We've got a few cars
21:17Heading after it
21:17Yeah
21:20Interceptor Bertie
21:21Is currently parked up
21:22At a drive-thru McDonald's
21:23Where the suspect
21:24Is buying his dinner
21:26It's a big old unit
21:27Of a car
21:28So we want to get
21:28As many cars near it
21:30As possible
21:30And hopefully get
21:31Some tactics on it
21:32Authorised to
21:33Get it stopped
21:34Ideally before it
21:35Leaves the drive-thru
21:36When it comes to
21:38Getting takeaways
21:39Harrison's got more
21:40Of a taste for Chinese
21:41Than Mackie D's
21:43He'll take a big duck
21:44Over a Big Mac
21:45Any day of the week
21:48It's in the McDonald's
21:49Drive from that side
21:50Of the road
21:50At the minute
21:51But if there's
21:52A wrong'un
21:53At the Golden Arches
21:54He'll happily
21:55Pay them a visit
21:56It should be in there
21:58It's at the
21:58It's at the last window
21:59At the minute
22:01Harrison must cross
22:02The carriageway
22:03Sharpish
22:03To give Bertie
22:04The backup he needs
22:07Obviously there is a risk
22:08If it's on clone plates
22:09That it may fail to stop
22:10So we'll see if we can get it
22:13Whilst it's in the car park
22:16Fortunately for the interceptors
22:18Tonight's fast food
22:20Isn't living up to its name
22:23It's still at the last window
22:24It's got three occupants
22:26But with three people in the car
22:28Harrison has certainly
22:29Got his plate full
22:31Come see it in the car park
22:32Bert
22:34He's in the unmarked
22:35So finds a quiet place
22:37To keep watch
22:39What do you reckon Bertie
22:40Try and get it stopped
22:41Before it leaves the car park
22:43I don't know
22:44It's difficult
22:44I suppose I could come in
22:48Head on
22:49If you pull out behind it
22:50But before they can
22:52Fully formulate a plan
22:54It's just coming out now
22:55Dinner is served
22:57In fact it may be
22:59Reverse parking
23:01It's reverse parking
23:02Into a space
23:04With Mr Hyundai parked up
23:06Harrison can easily
23:08Make him the filling
23:09In a sandwich
23:09But this fella's
23:11No McChicken
23:16Yeah
23:17Vehicle's trying to
23:18Ram this way out
23:18At the minute
23:19Standby
23:23One running
23:24Parallel to the A14
23:26Having shunted
23:27Harrison's Volvo
23:28The driver's scarpered
23:31He's across the A14
23:33Can you get a dog
23:35To us please
23:36And he's risked his life
23:38By legging it
23:39Across the busy
23:40Dual carriageway
23:41He's running across
23:42The westbound
23:43At the minute
23:45IC1 male
23:45Great track suits
23:49He's through a hedge
23:50At the minute
23:51I can't get across
23:51Because it's traffic
23:53Back at the scene
23:54Bertie has the
23:55Hyundai's two
23:56Passengers in cuffs
24:03So Harrison
24:03Must focus on the
24:04Driver
24:07Yeah I can't get
24:08Across the road
24:08At the minute
24:09He's dived through
24:10A hedge
24:10I can see where
24:11He's gone
24:12As soon as
24:12There's a safe
24:13Brake in traffic
24:16He's out the
24:17Blocks
24:21Okay I'll be out
24:22I'm into the
24:22Fields as well
24:23With him
24:24But has the
24:25Daredevil runner
24:25Had too much
24:26Of a head start
24:28Is that drone
24:29Going up
24:29Sorry
24:30If the suspect's
24:31Lurking in the
24:32Field
24:32A drone's
24:33Thermal imaging
24:34Camera
24:34Could light him
24:35Up like a
24:36Christmas tree
24:38Home point
24:39Updated
24:42You can see
24:43From the drone
24:43This is where
24:44He's come over
24:44Where the park is
24:46There's no sign
24:47Of the runner
24:48Yet
24:48But more
24:49Resources are
24:50En route
24:51Hopefully the
24:52Dog can track
24:53Him
24:53This way
24:53Keep him in
24:54It's area
24:54Somewhere
24:55The dog
24:56Unit is
24:5715 minutes
24:57Away
24:58But with each
24:59Second that
24:59Passes
25:00The suspect
25:00Slips further
25:01From their
25:01Grass
25:03I can't see
25:04Anything
25:04In the
25:05Ground
25:05I wonder
25:06If he's
25:06Gone to
25:07Ground
25:08With a
25:08Roadblock
25:09In place
25:09They decide
25:10To tap
25:11Their final
25:11Resource
25:18I ain't
25:18Going to
25:18Lose
25:19My
25:19Life
25:19Over
25:19Chasing
25:19Across
25:20The
25:20Carriage
25:20Way
25:20So
25:22We've
25:22Got
25:22Helicopter
25:23On
25:23The
25:23Way
25:23I've
25:24Got
25:24A
25:24Dog
25:24On
25:24The
25:25Way
25:25Hence
25:25Why
25:25I've
25:25Just
25:25Stopped
25:26Here
25:26Hopefully
25:26The dog
25:27Can
25:27Pick up
25:27A
25:27Trap
25:28First
25:29On
25:29The
25:29Scene
25:29Though
25:30Is
25:30The
25:30Chopper
25:34And
25:38Now
25:39Dog
25:39Handler
25:40Brad's
25:40Arrive
25:40With
25:41German
25:41Shepherd
25:41Piper
25:43Anything
25:43Past
25:44That
25:44Trough
25:44Or
25:45Down
25:45The
25:45Right
25:45Side
25:45Not
25:46Been
25:46Done
25:46He
25:47Came
25:47Flying
25:47Over
25:47This
25:47Way
25:50Yeah
25:50Yeah
25:51It's
25:52Now
25:52Nearly
25:52Half
25:53An
25:53Hour
25:53Since
25:53The
25:53Runner
25:54Disappeared
25:54Into
25:55The
25:55Field
25:56The
25:56Only
25:56Thing
25:57I
25:57Can
25:57Think
25:57Is
25:57If
25:57He's
25:58Gone
25:58Diving
25:59Down
25:59The
25:59Right
25:59Yeah
26:00But
26:01Neither
26:01Piper's
26:02Nose
26:03Nor
26:04The
26:04Two
26:04Eyes
26:04In
26:04The
26:05Sky
26:05Have
26:05Managed
26:06To
26:06Figure
26:06Out
26:06Which
26:07Way
26:07He
26:07Went
26:14Very
26:18Frustrated
26:20Despite
26:20Throwing
26:21Multiple
26:21Resources
26:22At
26:22The
26:22Search
26:23Thank
26:23You
26:23Mate
26:24On
26:25This
26:25Occasion
26:26The
26:26Interceptors
26:27We'll
26:27Have
26:27Have
26:27To
26:28Settle
26:28For
26:28An
26:28Evening
26:29Of
26:29Mixed
26:30Results
26:44Ramming
26:56Ramming a cop car
26:58Is an act of
26:58Is an act of sheer desperation
27:01And an interceptor
27:02Never knows when a cornered criminal
27:04Might suddenly decide to lash out
27:21It's late on a Monday
27:24About 28509
27:25Chris and Callum reckon the Range Rover they've just got behind could have dodgy plates
27:32Range Rover Evoque in black I think
27:35They're in the marked car so decide to tail it and see if the driver reacts
27:46Not only is the manner of driving a bit sus but there's something else about this scenario
27:51That's ringing alarm bells
27:56The Ford's pickup plates also bear the hallmarks of a possible clone
28:09Having decided to follow the pickup they sit back and hatch a plan
28:14We are an advanced TPAC driver in a suitable vehicle
28:18Vehicle's currently not failing to stop at the moment
28:20My thoughts are with the lack of TPAC at the moment for a boxing resolution
28:24We do a sting a preemptive sting and hand over to Empath to take over
28:30The Ford pickup weighs it at nearly two and a half tons
28:33And packs a heavyweight punch
28:35So the interceptors want to sting it to avoid the pursuit
28:39It's multiple occupants inside unknown occupants unknown if they're armed
28:43But the nearest stinger unit is ten minutes away
28:47Thinking about where to go aren't they
28:50And now the boys are presented with a different challenge
28:54We're a left left now
28:55We're into a McDonald's
28:58The driver's made a beeline for McDonald's
29:01So the interceptors fall in behind and hope he doesn't get spooked
29:06Yeah, well, more interesting
29:07He's now ordering food at the drive-thru
29:10Dog handler Lucy is en route
29:12The new plan is to box him in before he's even had a slurp on his milkshake
29:18Well, what is the ETA for our next unit?
29:20It's this McDonald's
29:22The boys don't even order
29:24So their intentions are now crystal clear
29:28They definitely know a volume of them
29:30Fortunately, Lucy is just a matter of seconds away
29:33Moving off from the drive-thru now
29:35Coming out of the drive-thru
29:39Preemptive reinforced stop
29:40I think you'll feel happy with that
29:41Given the low speeds
29:43Although the pick-up has parked
29:44He looks like he's kept his engine on
29:47It's in front of you
29:48If you go on the long
29:49We'll take the short
29:51Strike, strike, strike
29:52The interceptors pounce
29:56Reverse ram, reverse ram
29:59Reverse ram, vehicle's been ram
30:15After being rammed, Chris leaps out to confront the driver
30:20Because the lad continues pounding into both cop cars
30:23Chris takes a hammer to the window
30:25To get him out
30:28Amid the chaos
30:29A rear passenger escapes on foot
30:34Get out
30:37Get out
30:38Get out now
30:38Get your arms out now
30:43The threat of 50,000 volts works a charm
30:46On the floor
30:49You're under arrest
30:50And suspicious of criminal damage
30:51You don't have to say anything
30:52But in Miami defence
30:53Do not mention one question
30:53Don't be like relying in court
30:55Anything you do say
30:56May be given evidence
30:58To the floor
30:59To the floor now
31:00Come on
31:02As well as the driver
31:03A passenger has also been cuffed
31:06Go under arrest the man
31:07And suspicious of theft
31:07Automata vehicle
31:09You're also under arrest
31:10Falling to stop
31:12Falling to stop
31:13Yes mate
31:14When we put the blue lights on
31:15And you try and drive off
31:16That's falling to stop
31:17Isn't it?
31:18Well done
31:19That's three serious offences
31:21In as many minutes
31:22But Callum has saved the worst
31:24For last
31:25You forgot to pick up
31:26Your McSpicy as well
31:27Now you're parking day one
31:29They should throw away the key
31:31For that one
31:32What's your current age?
31:3316
31:3516
31:36You are further under arrest
31:37For driving without a licence
31:38And driving with no insurance
31:39If you are 16
31:40Okay
31:41This young chap's got some
31:43Serious questions to answer
31:44Back at the nick
31:46The cloned Hyundai
31:48That rammed Harrison earlier
31:49Was never claimed
31:50And was later crushed
31:52The passengers were released
31:54Without charge
31:55And for now
31:55The man who ran
31:56Remains at large
32:00So too does the lad
32:01Who ran from the pick up
32:03However the underage driver
32:05Of the pick up
32:05Got done for criminal damage
32:07Driving without a licence
32:09And without insurance
32:11He got six points
32:12On his record
32:13A 250 pound fine
32:15And a nine month
32:16Rehabilitation order
32:17Both him and his passenger
32:20Remain under investigation
32:21For the theft of the vehicle
32:33It's Friday evening
32:34And rolling out
32:35For the start of her night shift
32:36Is dog handler Lucy
32:39We're just going for
32:40A vehicle that
32:41Hit an AMPR camera
32:43On the A14
32:43And there's another
32:44Another officer behind it
32:46Driving a bit erratically
32:47So we're just all tipping out
32:49See if we can get it
32:50Stopped safely
32:52The car has previously
32:54Failed to stop
32:55For the cops
32:55Plus it's got a marker
32:57For document offences
33:06Lucy is still
33:07Two miles from the action
33:14But we're 30 seconds behind you
33:17But on the A14
33:19Interceptor Max
33:20Has just caught up
33:23In the sixth floor
33:24We're behind you
33:24In the marked car ahead of him
33:28Harrison Beverley
33:29Is waiting for a moment
33:30To pounce
33:31Vehicle is slowing
33:32Let's have a bit of labour
33:33We'll go for it
33:34Now Max is here
33:38Harrison flicks on the blues
33:49As they approach the lay-by
33:51It looks like it's job done
34:00But the blokes bolted before
34:02So Max heads him off
34:03Just to be safe
34:09Moments later
34:09Lucy's on the scene
34:12Her partner this evening
34:13Is Cocker Spaniel
34:14And expert drug sniffer
34:16Socks
34:16Let's go and see
34:18If they want it searching
34:20The driver has admitted
34:22To being disqualified
34:23So is already in cuffs
34:25And the marker on his car
34:26Is murky to say the least
34:29Counterfeit foreign documents
34:31It's not really drugs is it
34:33But it's probably worth
34:34Searching it by hand
34:36Rather than the dog
34:38Sounds like the nose
34:39They'll be relying on tonight
34:40Will be the coppers
34:41Rather than the canine
34:43If we find anything drug related
34:45I'll put the dog in
34:45But the marker doesn't say
34:46Anything about drugs
34:47So
34:48Lucy goes in first
34:53Baseball bat
34:53And pulls out some sporting goods
34:56There's a baseball bat
34:57Down the side of the passenger seat
34:59It won't be hitting any home runs
35:01With it stuffed down there
35:03There's flakes of cannabis
35:05It's everywhere isn't it
35:08There's quite a lot in the back
35:09As well
35:10Like flakes of it
35:10A few cannabis crumbs
35:13Isn't exactly a big score
35:16Lucy
35:17Cut
35:18But has Joe just knocked it out the park
35:21Oh nice
35:22So
35:24What's that one bag containing
35:26One, two, three
35:28Four, four
35:29I've seen my brain
35:29Around six
35:30Okay
35:31Individual
35:32Deal bags
35:33Shall we put the dog through them?
35:34Yeah
35:34Yeah
35:35Take that out
35:35Joe's just found some class A
35:37So I'm going to put socks through
35:39He's no sniffer dog
35:40But he's no ordinary Joe either
35:43So far we've found
35:46Roughly six individual deal bags
35:48Of a white powder
35:49Possibly cocaine
35:50And so
35:50Lucy's going to get the drugs dog out
35:52Run the dog open the car
35:54See what else we can find
35:56It's funny
35:57If there's more drugs in the car
35:59Socks will soon sniff them out
36:02It's funny
36:04Meanwhile
36:05Interceptor Sandra is after something
36:07Even more unsavoury
36:09So stick your tongue out for me
36:10A sample of saliva from the driver
36:13So this test is going to take eight minutes
36:16And I'll update my colleague
36:17While he's travelling to custody
36:18If it comes up to positive
36:20Alright
36:20Back at the car
36:22Coffee
36:23I think so
36:24Yeah
36:24Socks has had his nose
36:26Over every inch of the interior
36:28The other officers obviously found the six wraps of what we think is probably cocaine
36:33Socks hasn't found anything in addition to that yet
36:36And the driver's obviously disqualified as well
36:38So it's a good stop in the end
36:39There's no more dodgy parcels here
36:42So Lucy calls it
36:44Yeah
36:44Yeah I think that's it mate
36:45But eight minutes have now passed since the drug wipe
36:49Which means the results are in
36:52He was swerving when he was driving
36:53And speeding up from 100 to 60 and 50
36:56And back up to 100
36:58We put him on a drug wipe and he's tested positive for cannabis and for cocaine
37:02So we'll go to custody
37:05Disqualified and drug driving promptly
37:06So yeah
37:10The fellow wasn't charged with possession of class A
37:14But he did plead guilty to driving whilst disqualified and without insurance
37:18He was ordered to pay 200 pounds and was banned from driving for 14 months
37:25He was also charged with drug driving
37:27But the case was later dropped at court
37:33Still to come
37:34Your offside brake light's not working
37:36A roadside MOT
37:38So you've got no headlights
37:39That fails to illuminate
37:41There's quite a lot of issues with this isn't there
37:59It's lunchtime
38:02NG from 14 for a co2 vehicle check
38:05And Joe Wood is having a nibble on a suspicious Vauxhall
38:09This vehicle in front
38:11Silver Vauxhall Astra
38:12It's in quite a poor state of repair
38:15I think it's supposed to be silver slash grey
38:18But it's covered in mud
38:20Cops have learned that drivers who don't maintain their cars
38:23Often don't maintain their insurance premiums either
38:27I'm pretty sure as well
38:28That from the Motor Insurance Bureau
38:31Astra is statistically one of the most uninsured vehicles
38:36This one's come back on PNC as insured
38:39Documents in order however
38:40We'll put a stop on it
38:42See who's driving it
38:43And make sure everything's okay
38:51Blues, twos and the copper's finger
38:53Have the desired effect
39:01Hi there, how you doing, all right?
39:02Yeah, yeah
39:02Yeah, not too bad
39:04Just a routine stop
39:05Just to make sure everything's in order with the vehicle
39:07What insurance have you got to drive the vehicle?
39:10I've run out of data
39:13The bloke says the beaten up Astra belongs to his boss
39:16Who's insured him to drive it for 24 hours
39:19Joe has his doubts
39:21Potential insurance issue
39:23They're saying that the keeper put a day policy on it earlier on
39:27So let's see if we can get evidence of that
39:29If not, if they're coming with us
39:31It doesn't take long to establish three things
39:35Right
39:35Joe's suspicions are bang on
39:37I don't think you've got any insurance for this
39:39This guy's walking home
39:411-4, could I organise?
39:431-6-5 recovery please with no insurance
39:45And the Astra's status as one of the country's most uninsured cars remains intact
39:51If the boss turns up and goes
39:52Oh yeah, here's the policy look
39:53And it's all legit
39:54Then we can just discount this, all right?
39:56Yeah
39:57Enter a new player, stage left
39:59Who are you then?
40:00I'm the registered insurance
40:02You're the registered keeper
40:03So what's the reason for Micah driving the vehicle?
40:06Because borrowing it to go out
40:07Right, okay
40:08Yeah, I wasn't getting him on the insurance
40:10So I was on the phone to him there
40:13The boss says he was just getting around to sorting the insurance
40:17But you know, admin issues
40:18An excuse which won't cut any ice with Joe
40:22You'll be reported for driving without insurance
40:25And you'll be reported for causing and permitting Micah to drive without insurance
40:30But it's not all bad news for the boss
40:33You're insured on this, aren't you?
40:34Yes, yeah, yeah
40:34Right, okay
40:35So given that you're now here
40:37Yeah
40:39I don't need to take this vehicle away anymore
40:41I can let you take it
40:42But you will be getting reported as well, okay?
40:45The pair are free to go
40:47Right, cheers
40:48Cheers then
40:48Thank you
40:50Another statistic in the tale of one of Britain's most uninsured cars
40:54We said earlier on about the amount of these that are uninsured
40:58That just came true, didn't it?
41:12And no sooner is Joe back on the dual carriageway
41:18That he gets a second chance to road test the start of the motor insurance bureau
41:23There's an Astra in lane two
41:25There's an Astra in lane two, looked a bit quick, sitting around eight, added to that, there's a light out
41:28in the back
41:30And once Joe overtakes the front
41:31And I can see there's a light out in the front
41:35So just worth a check
41:36The interceptor lights his follow me sign and leads the Astra off the dual carriageway into a lay-by
42:12How are you doing?
42:13A bit of a wreck
42:14You've got a nearside light out and you've got your offside brake lights not working
42:19So you've got no headlights?
42:22It doesn't get drive it hard
42:23Okay and is there any main beam?
42:25Yeah
42:28Just the one side, naturally
42:31So you've got main beam on that side but no headlights, right
42:34But they are getting done
42:36I think you are too
42:39There's quite a lot of issues with this, isn't there?
42:42It looks like a PG-9 job, prohibiting the car from public roads
42:46The vehicle's going to have a prohibition pot on it
42:48Which basically means you can't drive the vehicle anymore
42:51But the driver has one bit of luck on his side
42:55Technically, it is PG-9, but it's still daylight
43:00Because it's daytime, it's going to get away without the car being seized
43:06I'd say if it gets the headlights changed
43:08Yeah, I'll get it all done today
43:10But when Joe has a closer look, there's exposed metal on the mirror
43:15You clip a cyclist
43:16Rather than a nice bit of curved plastic hitting on
43:18You've got this metal hitting on
43:20Yeah, I appreciate that
43:21And under the bonnet
43:25There's no strap on that either
43:27The battery's not secure
43:29You've got a few issues coming on here, haven't you?
43:33It's a band of chips, but it's a workhorse
43:36Ah, it's a workhorse, which brings another problem
43:40You're using it in your role as a handyman
43:42So for that, you need business insurance
43:44Okay
43:44Which you haven't got
43:47I'm not going to seize it because you have got insurance
43:49Thank you
43:49Right, so I'm not going to take it away
43:51I'm going to let you continue your journey
43:52And hope that you get all these things fixed
43:54Yeah, 100% today
43:54However, I'm going to report you for the offences, okay?
43:58That's fine, I appreciate that
43:59So expect something in the post
44:02Yeah, so basically the vehicle's a bag of shit
44:04And he needs to come off the road, mate
44:06That's what you're saying
44:06Here's your words on
44:07I agree
44:10The Astra driver stopped earlier was guilty of driving without insurance
44:14He got six points and fines and charges, totaling £258
44:21The owner who allowed him to drive received six points and fines of more than £800
44:28The guy who was light on light was convicted of driving a car in a dangerous condition
44:33And without valid business insurance
44:36He also received six points and fines, totaling £280
44:44Put your seatbelt on
44:45We are
45:15The Astra driver's a driver's a driver's a driver's a driver's a driver's a driver's a driver's a driver's a
