00:00We've got a potential clone vehicle.
00:05Hello. The reason we stopped you is this number plate doesn't come back to this car.
00:10This comes back to a Ford Puma.
00:12Oh, God.
00:13Not a Nissan Qashqai. Nowhere near.
00:16Just off the M6, PC's Tom Cordell and Cara Polarczyk have a number plate puzzle to solve.
00:22How long you had it?
00:24From brand new, about three months, one month.
00:26You've got a red red red red on your car. It's JCX.
00:29Not far off. I think they've plated it wrong.
00:33When you get home, go down Nissan and they'll get the plates done for you.
00:38Right, that's that then.
00:39Happy days.
00:42Well, at least you didn't have to do a spell in prison.
00:44Hey, funny you are.
00:50The cost of bad driving has never been higher.
00:55Last year, Britain's motor insurers paid out a record £12 billion in claims.
01:02And dash cam shows we're all paying the price.
01:08Show me your hands now! Do not move!
01:11Taking down dangerous drivers...
01:13Police, we're trying to step me up!
01:15...are the motorway cops...
01:17Stop! Stop! Stop!
01:18...putting their lives on the line...
01:21We're gone. We're gone. We're gone.
01:22...to keep our roads safe.
01:24You're under arrest, mate!
01:25...we join Staffordshire Police...
01:27Right, get out of the car!
01:28...as they stop criminals...
01:30...in their tracks...
01:31I haven't done anything!
01:32...you have.
01:33...and catch illegal drivers in the act.
01:35You had a drink?
01:36No.
01:37Are you sure?
01:37No.
01:38Right, you're lying.
01:39I'm going to get arrested anyway, aren't I?
01:40If you test positive...
01:42Obviously I'm guaranteed.
01:43Seven points!
01:44So you know all this anyway!
01:45I'm sorry, Mum.
01:47Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel...
01:51...is dash cam.
01:53Do you have dash cam in your vehicle, sir?
01:55It's vital evidence...
01:57...and proof that Britain's dumbest drivers...
02:00...are a law unto themselves.
02:03Job done and home in time for dinner.
02:05No!
02:12Box on, box on!
02:15I'm here to see you!
02:17Put your hands on your arm!
02:18Tonight...
02:19I think those will be our counterfeit goods.
02:21...a suspect shops Orion for an excuse.
02:23My friend, he's going to put it little.
02:25Little aren't so in there, Mum, are we?
02:28Can you shuffle here your phone number?
02:30No.
02:31Love is in the air for one dodgy driver.
02:33I wanna kiss that lips!
02:35Bold!
02:36No, not for me!
02:38Left left into a no entry.
02:40It might be testing us.
02:41And a white van man's day goes to pot.
02:44Fresh bag weed stuck off me as well.
02:46Oh, no.
02:47That's it.
02:53The Staffordshire police road crime team patrolled 4,000 miles of highway in some seriously souped-up cop cars.
03:01Audi's.
03:02Audi's.
03:03BMW's.
03:04Volvo's.
03:05Cupra's.
03:05At a doxy base by the M6, one zippy motor is getting a bit of TLC.
03:18Go on then, Greg, show us how it's done.
03:21It's hard work, isn't it?
03:22Yeah.
03:23This is my office for 12 hours.
03:25So it's gotta be clean and tidy.
03:27It takes it very seriously.
03:30PC's Lucy Pond and Mark Gribble are on vac and polish patrol, but Mark's just spotted a criminal bit of
03:37cleaning.
03:37You've missed a bit here.
03:39Where?
03:39What did they tell you about standards?
03:41I've hoovered.
03:42The hoover's broken then.
03:44There's nothing there.
03:45I'm only joking.
03:46You're such a wind-up man, don't you?
03:49Done the fluids?
03:51No, not yet.
03:52I'll just leave this here as a gentle reminder for you, shall I?
03:56Oh, can you reach that? Sorry.
03:58You're being horrible.
04:04Decent set of standards there. Trained you well.
04:07OK, let's go take some bad guys off the road.
04:17Mark's a 12-year veteran of the force, but 28-year-old Lucy's a road crime newbie.
04:25How long have you been on here now?
04:28I think I've been with the shift now about six months.
04:31It's gone really, really quick, to be fair.
04:33And how are you liking it?
04:34I love it.
04:35Not a fan of the shift, but...
04:37Oh, not a fan of the shift?
04:38Shifty.
04:39Oh, my.
04:41How long have you got there?
04:43Mate, I can potentially retire in 15, 16 months, something like that.
04:48OK.
04:48What about you?
04:5035 years?
04:52Yeah.
04:53Something like that.
05:05Yeah.
05:20Oh, my God.
05:24We're on our way.
05:30We've got a number of unmarked units that spotted a vehicle.
05:35We have an offender that's wanted on board,
05:38so we've been asked to assist in the stopping of that vehicle.
05:45Vehicle pursuits are the most inherent risk, really, for police officers.
05:49You're thinking, what offences is he wanted for
05:52and what risks is he likely to take to escape arrest?
05:59Criminals on the run cause carnage on our roads.
06:09We've got a near-start indication to the archive. Stand by.
06:13On the M1, Warwickshire police are trying to pull over a suspect
06:16who's failed to show up in court.
06:18No, he's going.
06:20But he's not hanging around.
06:24His BMW 5 Series can shift.
06:28Speed completely now, 130.
06:31And he absolutely floors it.
06:34Speed now, 140, 140.
06:37It's going to be high risk.
06:39Unable to shake the cops, the driver tries a different tactic.
06:43OK, he's trying to break-check me.
06:45He's deliberately trying to break-check me.
06:48Then he does the unthinkable.
06:50The male has stopped in the carriageway. Stand by.
06:52No, go across the carriageway, you'll get killed.
06:55Don't do it, buddy. Don't do it.
06:57Come here. Come here. Don't do it. Don't do it.
06:59Come here. Just stay there. Stay there!
07:01After a terrifying struggle...
07:04Help! Help me!
07:06The cops finally have their man.
07:09One's detained.
07:11He was convicted of criminal offences
07:13and was found guilty of driving while disqualified,
07:16driving without insurance,
07:17and failing to stop the police.
07:19He was sentenced to three years in prison
07:21and banned from driving for five years.
07:31Oscar Tango 1-1. We're on our way.
07:35In North Stafford, Mark and Lucy
07:37are on the hunt for a car carrying a wanted man.
07:41Front seat passenger in this vehicle
07:43is wanted for drug supply offences, dangerous driving.
07:46He rammed a police vehicle
07:48and has been outstanding ever since.
07:52Where is he at the minute?
07:54They're currently on the A50.
07:57It's a Land Rover Defender in Black.
08:01So units are still behind this car at the moment.
08:04So we're just trying to formulate a bit of a plan
08:06to get it stopped.
08:15It's coming down a dual carriageway.
08:27Yeah, 1-1, we're in the XC90,
08:30so if you want us to be front car,
08:32given the size of the vehicle,
08:34go size for size, happy to do that.
08:36No two, thank you.
08:40As other patrols close in,
08:42Mark and Lucy are joined by three more units,
08:44ready to pounce.
08:46So essentially the plan will be
08:47that once they commit on this roundabout,
08:49we will take over.
08:58It's going to hit the roundabout any second now.
09:05On the roundabout, on the roundabout.
09:09That's us.
09:10Yeah.
09:25Is it time for a reboot on Britain's Roads?
09:30Our hard drives.
09:32Our hard drives.
09:35Are full of bad habits.
09:37Whoa!
09:40Download some common sense.
09:46Before the system crashes for good.
09:56I do think this vehicle will fail to stop
09:58because the passenger knows he's wanted the serious offences.
10:02No, it does.
10:03Yeah.
10:08On the A-50 near Stone,
10:10Mark and Lucy are part of an operation
10:12to catch a wanted criminal in a black Land Rover.
10:18So what we need to try and do is catch up with it now
10:21without using the blue lights.
10:26Oh, come on, Mr. Wagon.
10:37Oscar Tango 1-1.
10:38We are directly behind the vehicle.
10:40No reaction at this time.
10:46Oscar Tango 1-1 to T-Pak in.
10:49It's behind.
10:50It might be an opportune moment for pre-emptive box,
10:53offside box.
10:58Just tell him to hold back.
11:07Have we got a gap in front?
11:09No, two in front.
11:11If this gap develops, I'm happy to do it here, you know,
11:14at ten mile an hour.
11:20Yeah, box on, box on, box on.
11:27And Perkastille!
11:28Put your hands on your arm!
11:29Hands up!
11:30Hands up!
11:31Police officer with a tape!
11:32Eight!
11:33Out of the car!
11:36Sorry, mate.
11:37I've got him an hour.
11:40What are you doing that for?
11:43What do you think?
11:44I'm on the way to the police station.
11:45Hiya.
11:46We've got three detained.
11:48No damage.
11:49No injuries.
11:50Good job, all.
11:554-0, we're just going to clear the road.
11:57We've got someone to convey the subject here,
11:59so we can reopen the road and do a thorough search.
12:05Back's on, back's on, back's on!
12:07It's good, innit?
12:10It's good, innit?
12:15So, at the moment, we're just trying to fill up logistics,
12:18so that's the car that we've stopped,
12:19and we just need to get that taken to custody
12:21where the people that have been arrested will be dealt with.
12:24Unfortunately, we've sustained some paint damage,
12:27but it's par for the course, innit?
12:28Are you charging me cake for that?
12:31No, for this.
12:32What?
12:33That big scum there.
12:35He's raving to me.
12:36I'm not buying cakes.
12:39Oh, but I think you are.
12:40HE LAUGHS
12:58That was a good job.
12:59I'm happy.
13:00I'm happy.
13:01It's always nice when it comes together.
13:03You know, I know we've got a little bit of a knock,
13:05but nothing massive.
13:06I still think you owe cakes for that.
13:11No.
13:11I'm not paying cakes for that, no chance.
13:14What if I dared?
13:15What would you have?
13:16Because it's you buying them, I'd say,
13:18Mark Spencer Spencer.
13:19Oh, really, would you?
13:21Yeah.
13:22Cream cakes.
13:22I mean, that's cream cakes, are you mad?
13:24No.
13:24I'd have to do an overtime shift.
13:26HE LAUGHS
13:47Well, let's see what today brings.
13:51Yeah, so we're coming out of summer now into autumn.
13:55Do we go fleece?
13:55Do we not go fleece?
13:58It's a hard decision to make wardrobe choice-wise.
14:01Heavyweight or lightweight, high-vis.
14:02We'll go with a heavyweight today just in case it rains.
14:05Don't want to get the hair wet.
14:10Rain or shine, PC Ed Clark has a top-of-the-range motor
14:15to take cover in.
14:16In the BMW today, so decent car.
14:19Raring to go.
14:21Rear-wheel drive, but it's all right.
14:24I like it.
14:25It's even got a cream leather interior.
14:28Cream leather interior makes me feel posh.
14:30If you're in a 5 Series, your cream leather interior,
14:32you've made it, haven't you?
14:33Fingers crossed the cream leather interior
14:35brings us some luck today, eh?
14:36Hopefully we don't get it any more dirty,
14:38but it already is.
14:51Ed started his career with Greater Manchester Police,
14:54before swapping Stockport for the Potteries.
14:59I'm not a Stokey.
15:00I moved to Stoke-on-Trent to join Staffordshire Police
15:03just under two years ago now.
15:09So Stoke's really renowned for its oatcakes.
15:13It's a bit of an acquired taste that you get used to.
15:16Hopefully, I'm not going to offend any Stokeys by saying that.
15:20It's like a pancake, so imagine pancake size.
15:23I mean, you'd almost make your full English on top of it.
15:25Tochage, bacon, cheese, wrap it up,
15:29and then it's like a breakfast wrap.
15:31But, yeah, really good.
15:32Really, really good.
15:46So we're just going to pull onto this petrol station,
15:48cos a car that's just pulled on
15:50and has just activated our ANPR.
15:53So it's probably going to be a vehicle of interest.
15:56So we'll just have a look at it.
16:07Hello, sir.
16:10How are you, my friend?
16:11When you've finished filling up,
16:12just have a chat with me if that's all right.
16:14I've finished filling up your car,
16:15but I just want to chat with you before you go.
16:16No.
16:17No?
16:19Sorry?
16:19No, no.
16:20No?
16:20No, yeah.
16:21Oh, it's not a choice, I'm afraid.
16:23I cannot speak English very well.
16:24Oh, you can't speak English?
16:25OK.
16:26Sorry.
16:26Finish filling up and then come back to me.
16:30So, yeah, the information being given to me
16:32is that this has got a recent marker from this month
16:34linked to the supply of Council of Goods
16:35in the Stoke Country area.
16:37OK.
16:39Driving licence, my friend.
16:40We have a license.
16:40Driving licence.
16:43No problem.
16:46Counterfeit goods?
16:47Yes, yes, good.
16:48Yes, everything good, yeah.
16:49OK.
16:50You don't understand.
16:51Can you open boot for me?
16:54Anything in bag?
16:56Yes, this is my friend.
16:58My friend.
16:58Luck in bag?
17:01Oh.
17:06Cigarettes?
17:07Yeah, this is my friend.
17:08I think those will be our counterfeit goods.
17:10Just come and jump in my car.
17:11OK.
17:12OK.
17:14Sit in there, please.
17:18So, at the moment,
17:19found a load of what I suspect to be counterfeit foreign cigarettes
17:23in that vehicle.
17:24So, we've got some other colleagues coming to assist
17:26because we'll ultimately need to speak to him via translator.
17:29But, yeah, the intel's obviously bob on.
17:35Hey, up.
17:36I've not been through the rest of the vehicle, mate.
17:38Can I go through that?
17:39If that's all right, yes, please.
17:42Cash is just going to continue searching the car, because obviously we've not had a proper
17:45look through it.
17:46And I'll do some checks for the driver and see where we land.
17:54No.
17:55No.
17:56No.
17:57No.
17:58No.
17:58They're foreign.
18:00Oh, my friend.
18:00And he say he's going to stop putting the little.
18:05Little?
18:05Yeah, the little, this one.
18:07Little aren't selling them, are we?
18:08Yeah.
18:09Little.
18:09OK.
18:10Yes.
18:10I do not allow it.
18:12OK.
18:16He's indicated that he was meant to be delivering these foreign cigarettes to Lidl.
18:21I can't imagine Lidl selling the Turner cigarettes.
18:25Platinum 7.
18:26Or they shouldn't be sold in the UK.
18:32You're found living in the car.
18:35A load of cash.
18:39And another bag.
18:44So we've got counterfeit goods found in the vehicle and a load of cash hidden.
18:49Ed?
18:50Hidden in the rear.
18:51Found two bags of cash.
18:54There's a decent amount of cash in there.
18:57Cash is found with cash.
18:58He's not got that nickname for nothing.
18:59Like a sniffer dog.
19:03Oh, HMRC are calling.
19:05Hello, Clark speaking.
19:06I've just had a phone call from our NCU to say you've had a stop.
19:10Yes, that's correct.
19:11Yeah, and found a large quantity of illegal cigarettes in there.
19:13About five grand cash.
19:15Do you want him arresting?
19:16How do you guys normally deal with this kind of thing?
19:18To be honest, for that amount, we'd probably just seize it.
19:20Yeah, no worries.
19:21OK, thanks very much.
19:22Bye, bye, bye.
19:24OK, we have updates.
19:26I'll use translator, OK?
19:28OK, sorry.
19:29We'll keep the cash.
19:30And we are seizing the cigarettes.
19:33Everything taken.
19:35And your details have been referred to HMIC.
19:38OK.
19:38You understand?
19:39OK, so you can get out.
19:40I'll let you out.
19:41I need a cigarette.
19:43Cigarette?
19:43I like a cigarette in the car.
19:45Yes.
19:46Not at the petrol station.
19:47The petrol station go boom.
19:48The petrol station go boom.
19:52Yeah, don't smoke at the petrol station.
19:55Bad idea.
19:58You're good to go.
20:02In terms of the cash, HMIC wants to use it as intel or evidence,
20:06so we've seized it.
20:07But there's no criminal offences that need to be dealt with here and now,
20:09so he's on his way.
20:21So really happy with the stop.
20:23We've had five grand's worth of probably criminal cash off the streets
20:25and a load of knock-off cigarettes.
20:28So, yeah, really good stop.
20:29Really happy with it.
20:31He's claimed he's taking most cigarettes to his supermarket,
20:34but a farm had a little hard to believe.
20:37Ha-ha!
20:49Has she got driving gloves on?
20:51Yeah.
20:52You don't see that very often now, do you?
20:54On the M6 near Stafford,
20:56Lucy and Mark have joined the fashion police.
20:59Maybe I need some now.
21:01You should get me some.
21:03I might make you some driving gloves
21:05and put left and right, north and south on them.
21:07Just so you know which way you're going.
21:10For definite.
21:10How's that?
21:22Police emergency.
21:23I'm looking at a car.
21:25Guy's driving it like an absolute lunatic.
21:29The car looks like it's been in an accident.
21:32Windscreen smash.
21:35He's parked from the disabled bay in Chainsbury's Newcastle underline.
21:40He's quite aggressive.
21:41I'm guessing he's on drugs.
21:46Obviously, SVW was sat in silver.
21:48He looks intoxicated.
21:50He's been all over the road.
21:53Oscar Tango 1-1.
21:54We're on our way.
22:03We're getting to a potential person drunk in charge of his mate's vehicle.
22:07He's possibly just gone back out and got back in the vehicle.
22:10But they've said it's not roadworthy and they're concerned about him driving and that and the man.
22:20He's under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
22:23Obviously, he's going to be impaired.
22:25It's going to affect his reactions.
22:26If the vehicle's on roadworthy as well, those two coupled together can cause some major problems.
22:32There's a risk to everyone himself and the public.
22:35So we need to get there as a matter of urgency really.
22:50There he is.
23:08There he is.
23:11Navigating Britain's roads is a marathon, not a sprint.
23:17But slow and steady doesn't always win the race.
23:24Watch out for false starts.
23:28And be careful to pace yourself.
23:33Or you could be disqualified before the finish line.
23:44If he's under the influence of alcohol or drugs, obviously, he's going to be impaired.
23:49It's a risk to everyone.
23:52In Newcastle underline, Mark and Lucy are chasing down a suspected drink driver.
23:573-0-1.
23:59I'm with this mate.
24:00I've got him detained.
24:03There he is.
24:11Hi, love. How are you?
24:13Hello.
24:14Were you handcuffed behind his back?
24:15No.
24:16Stop doing that.
24:16He's much better like that.
24:18I don't like it.
24:18No, no, no. If he's done it behind your back, he's done that for a reason.
24:20I don't like it. No.
24:21Stop it.
24:22Okay.
24:22Sit back.
24:23Okay.
24:23You need to calm yourself down, don't you?
24:25Put me the safety belt.
24:26You need to calm down.
24:27Okay.
24:28I'm going to move this hand and take a step back.
24:29No, I don't do nothing.
24:30I will just sit here.
24:31I promise I'll give you my word.
24:33I'm requiring you to provide me with a specimen of breath for analysis, okay, at the roadside.
24:37Have you done one of these before?
24:39Yes.
24:40Everyone, you ready?
24:43Yeah, keep going, keep going.
24:44Here we go.
24:46Zero.
24:48That's mine.
24:49That's mine.
24:50I have it then.
24:51That's mine.
24:51I have collection.
24:54We can see your car's all smashed up.
24:56Someone come to my house.
24:57They wish the car and smash my head.
24:59Okay?
25:00That car, I'll be very honest with you, that vehicle is not allowed to be driven in that state.
25:04For what reason?
25:05Because it's unraidworthy.
25:07Look at the windscreen.
25:08I don't care.
25:09I see through.
25:10It's not going to be moved.
25:11It's going to stay there.
25:12Okay, we will see.
25:13Make a bet.
25:13I don't make bets.
25:15Okay, because you lose all the time.
25:21I want you to do a drug wipe with me.
25:22Okay.
25:23That's sealed.
25:23I've just opened it.
25:24I know.
25:25Chill out.
25:26You're stressing me out.
25:27Yeah, I know.
25:28I know.
25:29Do you let anyone else speak?
25:31Ever?
25:32Nobody put me something in the mouth.
25:34Are you crazy?
25:34I will scrape your tongue three times.
25:36Okay.
25:36Open your mouth.
25:37Okay.
25:40No.
25:40That was two.
25:41Yeah.
25:41One more.
25:42No.
25:42One more.
25:43No.
25:44Go on.
25:51He's got house brick and everything in the car.
25:53I don't think there's a window left intact, to be honest.
25:57Yeah, there's a lot of mobile phones in here.
26:00Probably five or six.
26:02Weirdly hidden under the back.
26:05Yeah.
26:06What's this down on?
26:07It's called a Kubertan.
26:09Yeah.
26:10So you sort of hold it like this.
26:12And it would be used as a self-defence weapon.
26:15Yeah.
26:15Yeah.
26:16It is an offensive weapon.
26:18Just listen to what I'm going to tell you now.
26:19Based on what I can see in the vehicle, you can be under arrest on suspicion of possession
26:23of an offensive weapon.
26:29It's showing positive for cannabis.
26:32Based on the test that the office has done for the drugs.
26:35Okay.
26:35That's showing positive for cannabis.
26:37Okay.
26:37You're further under arrest.
26:38Okay.
26:38On suspicion of being in charge of a motor vehicle.
26:41I need...
26:41I need...
26:42I need...
26:42I need...
26:42I need...
26:43I need...
26:48He's very nice dumb and very rude.
26:51I like you.
26:52And by the way, I never beat a woman.
26:54No, for real.
26:55Oh, okay.
26:55I like women.
26:56I have a wife and a lot of girlfriends.
26:58I think that will get you to custody.
27:01Yeah.
27:01Can you shuffle here your phone number?
27:03No.
27:03I wanna kiss that lips.
27:05No, no.
27:06By the way, let's go to the car.
27:07I need to repeat that.
27:07Come on.
27:09You're bold.
27:11No, not for me.
27:35That was an odd job.
27:36He took an instant shine to you, though, didn't he?
27:39I'm sure he was asking you for your phone number or something.
27:42I mean...
27:42Yeah.
27:44I don't think he knew what day of the week it was, to be honest.
27:48He was...
27:48He was...
27:49He was a strange character.
27:50Yeah.
27:51I wonder what he'd even gone to the supermarket for in the first place.
27:54Yeah, he's probably gone and...
27:56Gone and get his big shot.
27:57Gone big.
27:58A bit more than he bargained for, I think.
28:00So, how many times have you done a food shot?
28:02With smashed windows and got self-arrested?
28:04Yeah.
28:06Yeah.
28:06Yeah.
28:07Yeah.
28:08Yeah.
28:09Yeah.
28:09Yeah.
28:25Yeah.
28:26Good.
28:27See you later.
28:29On patrol in Stoke-on-Trent, Stockport lad Ed is adapting to his surroundings.
28:35That's a proper, proper Stafford tourism, isn't it?
28:37Calling people duck.
28:38I cringe inside every time I say it, but I can't help myself.
28:42Makes me feel more local.
28:45Eating out cakes and calling people duck.
28:56I'm going to jump on the dual carriageway for an hour or so, because you normally get some decent jobs.
29:09Look at that.
29:10We'll have a look at that.
29:11This car doesn't look very good.
29:16Something's gone wrong on the rear axle there, so we'll stop that one.
29:20Can't really let that travel on the dual carriageway.
29:25You can see it listing quite heavily to the offside.
29:30Something's definitely gone wrong with the suspension there.
29:34I mean, it's been a bad ol' side in 10 minutes.
29:34Why, I'm afraid it's been a simple car.
30:12She wasn't following us off onto that slip road, which sometimes you get, you know, if people want to ultimately
30:19be able to stop for us, we'll start following and then cut off at the last moments.
30:26Are you following us?
30:31No?
30:49There we go.
30:52There we go.
30:52Good old hand signals.
30:54They can't not understand them, can they?
30:59What we normally find as well is, you know, if people are driving a vehicle in that kind of condition,
31:04what else are we hiding?
31:05Are we happy to drive without insurance, without a driving licence?
31:09So we'll have a look at this one.
31:25Hello.
31:27Hi.
31:28Thanks for stopping.
31:30Well, you're welcome, but wow.
31:32That's a new one for us.
31:34Is it?
31:34I've never seen that before, follow me.
31:36Have you not?
31:36Yeah, I thought there might be a bit of a misunderstanding.
31:42For the reason to stop you, let's just have a look at the back of your vehicle.
31:46Oh.
31:48It's just been changed.
31:49It's just been...
32:09The officer's coming to just examine it, because I've got a feeling that's not going to be safe to be
32:14on the road.
32:14No.
32:15Ugh.
32:17I said to Rashid that it's shaking about the car.
32:21Yeah, it's not particularly safe.
32:23Worst case scenario, Linda, is if your car's deemed unsafe because of a suspension issue, you might not be able
32:29to continue to drive it today.
32:30So what would happen?
32:32Would it be towed away somewhere?
32:33It would be clamped, and you'd have to get it recovered, because it wouldn't potentially be safe to be driven.
32:39All right.
32:43Hello.
32:43I think you're looking at the rear.
32:45Yeah.
32:45Suspension.
32:46Yeah.
32:47Doesn't look great, does it?
32:48Do you have the key?
32:49Yes.
32:50Cheers, mate, thank you.
32:51Oh, what a shame.
32:54And we thought, oh, lovely, we've had it done, now everything's okay.
33:00How much did you pay, if you don't mind me asking?
33:02648.
33:03648.
33:05Shall we go and have a look?
33:06Yeah, lovely.
33:07Thanks.
33:07Let's stand in the sun, eh.
33:09It's rare we get sun.
33:11Can you see from the front as well how much it's listing?
33:14Yeah, yeah.
33:16All right.
33:16See if I had your airbag suspension done on it.
33:18Yeah.
33:18That's what's gone again.
33:19The whole of the suspension on her back is just dragging.
33:22Yeah.
33:23You've got nothing.
33:24So it can't be moved, unfortunately.
33:26Okay.
33:29The whole of the rear air suspension is gone, apparently, hence the vehicle listing, so it's
33:34unsafe to be on the road.
33:35It'll be immediately prohibited from driving anymore.
33:39You're going to need to get the vehicle recovered now.
33:41Oh, what a shame.
33:42It is.
33:43I saw one magpie this morning, I knew I should have looked at the other one.
33:47No.
33:47Well, the good thing is, there's a pub there.
33:49You know you're not going to be driving, so you could treat yourself to a pint, couldn't
33:52you?
33:52Yeah.
33:52You know.
33:53The problem is we don't drink.
33:55Maybe today's the day.
33:57Maybe.
33:58You need to treat Linda to a new Mercedes.
34:00Yes.
34:00That's what you need to do.
34:01Get that wallet out.
34:22They weren't exactly a hard and criminals, were they?
34:25But it's important to get their car off the road.
34:30I can't believe their axle hadn't fallen off before we stopped it.
34:35Bit of a miracle, really.
34:37That was a wheelie close call.
34:42Oh dear.
34:55I'll do some cleaning.
34:56Yeah, clean up the mess.
34:59Who leaves a dirty eating spoon?
35:01Look at that.
35:02It's gross.
35:05PC's Cara Palachic and Tom Caudle have that sinking feeling.
35:11Let's just wash everything.
35:12Clean up the office.
35:13Clean up the streets.
35:15Ain't got time to clean up the streets.
35:16Who is he cleaning up the bloody office all the time?
35:18Who's it is?
35:21And that.
35:24Done.
35:25Come on.
35:25Right.
35:26Shall we go?
35:26Shall we roll?
35:27Come on.
35:28Give that some crime.
35:32There's been a giant in here.
35:34Right.
35:35Shall we actually go do some work?
35:37Ready?
35:38Ready.
35:38Okay, let's go.
35:46Are you in the kitchen?
35:48Very professional, are you?
35:50Shut up, Tom.
36:00Good rest days?
36:02Hi.
36:03Busy rest days.
36:04Sunday, cooked a massive roast dinner.
36:07It was delicious.
36:07You would say that because you cooked it.
36:10No, mate, it was outstanding.
36:12I did homemade Yorkies for the first time.
36:14Yeah.
36:14Cauliflower cheese.
36:15Nice.
36:16I did my beef in the air fryer, so it was like medium rare.
36:21Never done it in the air fryer.
36:22It's not something that's even crossed my mind to do.
36:2430 minutes done, medium rare.
36:26Isn't that a bit tough?
36:27No, it was medium rare.
36:28No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
36:41Got a clone van that's just pinged towards Stafford.
36:45First customer of the day.
36:46We've got a clone inbound.
36:48It's a Vauxhall combo van in white.
36:51It's got roof ladders on the top.
36:54Ostango 6-1, we'll just pick that one up.
36:57Yeah, Roger.
37:05We've got a AMPR hit in the Stafford area.
37:09It's a Vauxhall combo.
37:10Got a marker on it saying it's a cloned vehicle.
37:13The original is in Belfast.
37:16So we're just trying to pick that vehicle up,
37:19see if we can get it to stop.
37:23There's a number of things why people clone the vehicle,
37:25so it can be involved in criminality.
37:29And people can do it because they're disqualified
37:31and they've got no insurance,
37:32and they're trying to hide that fact.
37:37PC Chris Bagnell has joined the hunt,
37:39and he's got eyes on.
37:41There's no sign.
37:41We've got that clear westway,
37:42and it's just coming up to the Indian road perfectly.
37:46Baggers, it's going westway down to Newport Road
37:48and then towards the town.
37:50Oh, no.
38:03Where's that gone?
38:07Where has this gone?
38:14Is that the van?
38:15I think we've got it there. It's turned Barley train station.
38:20It's blind.
38:31OK, YFostan goes 6-1, then. Vehicle's back in sight.
38:36Advanced driver, TPAT trained. I'll be the ground commander.
38:52While some drivers are cooking on gas.
38:58Others prefer to let things simmer.
39:01This car is f***ing muskin.
39:03F***ing idiot.
39:05If your recipe for driving success is to chuck everything in and hope for the best...
39:10F*** the right line!
39:13...just make sure it doesn't boil over.
39:25Is that the van?
39:26I think we've got it there. It's turned Barley train station.
39:30Oh, you're blind.
39:33In Stafford, Cara and Tom have just locked onto a van that Intel suggests is on cloned plates.
39:43OK, YFostan goes 6-1, then. Vehicle's back in sight.
39:53Left left into a no entry. It might be testing us.
39:55It looks like it's going to go onto the car park.
39:58Standby.
40:00OK, it's into the car park.
40:02One way in, one way out.
40:04We'll see if we can block it in.
40:05We'll just see what it does here.
40:06And it's going around the car park.
40:09Standby.
40:11We'll block it in now.
40:18OK, vehicle blocked in.
40:19OK, standby.
40:24I believe the vehicle's going to be on false plates.
40:26It is on false plates, yeah.
40:28It is on false plates.
40:29Yeah.
40:29OK, at least you've been honest, pal.
40:30I like that.
40:31Jump out.
40:35Got a licence?
40:36No.
40:36Are we just cloning it for your documents offences?
40:38No licence?
40:39No insurance?
40:40No.
40:41No.
40:42Just no licence?
40:42Just come on.
40:43OK, cool.
40:44Look, honesty.
40:46I like your honesty.
40:47I know.
40:47I've seen you pulling me around.
40:50It's all right.
40:51Let's just pop you in the back of this car, mate.
40:53Right, have you got anything on you, mate?
40:55Anything you shouldn't have?
40:55I've got a bit of weed in the van.
40:57Bit of weed in the van.
40:57Yeah, you're dead honest.
40:58I like you.
40:58You can come again.
41:00Take a seat in there, buddy.
41:04If we can do a search of the van as well.
41:06He openly says there's some gear in here.
41:08Oi, in the glove box?
41:11It is a cloned vehicle on clone plate.
41:14It's just registered and uninsured at this time.
41:21Mate, that van is...
41:22That van is mine, though, yeah.
41:23It's just on clone plate, look.
41:25OK, have you got proof of ownership?
41:26I've got the logbook and everything in the vehicle.
41:29Just bear with me a second.
41:32We'll have to do some checks on you.
41:34You just come off a ban?
41:36Yeah.
41:37Cool.
41:37What was the ban for?
41:38Driving without licence.
41:40Right, OK.
41:44Expired provisional.
41:45Eh?
41:46Look young now, don't you?
41:47Look at that.
41:50Heroin?
41:51Cannabis?
41:53No.
41:54Tom, you're getting me.
41:57Er, Bish has found potentially heroin in the car, mate,
42:01and some cannabis.
42:04OK, Reggie.
42:07Are you saying the cannabis in the car is yours?
42:09Yeah.
42:10There's no point lying there, is there?
42:11You know what I mean? You've got my hair.
42:13What else is in there, mate?
42:15Is there any class A in there?
42:16No.
42:17Nothing at all?
42:18No.
42:18Nothing at all?
42:19No.
42:19Just a bit of cannabis?
42:20Yeah, I'll smoke a bit of weed, like.
42:21OK, cool.
42:22What we're gonna do, we'll do a drugs test with you,
42:24because obviously you're the driver of the motor vehicle,
42:26I'll have the power to request a sample of saliva.
42:29OK.
42:29Happy to do a test?
42:30Yeah.
42:32Dong out.
42:33Dong out.
42:33That's it, buddy.
42:43You failed it straight away, it's come right up already.
42:47So it's moment time, you're all under arrest.
42:49Yeah.
42:52He's provided a positive roadside drugs test for cannabis,
42:56so he's been arrested for that.
42:57So we'll get him to custody, we'll do some bloods,
43:00and then we'll go from there.
43:03Well done, Bagnell, for spotting it.
43:04It's always nice when they come to a natural stop
43:07and we don't have to dink any cars.
43:09The bosses are even more happy when we don't dink any cars.
43:13Which is normally baggers.
43:15No comment, no comment.
43:16So yeah, natural stop, it's always a good option,
43:19get it blocked in.
43:20I mean, he sorted the front out for us.
43:23He wasn't going to go through that.
43:34We are in possession of class B.
43:38Fresh bag of weeds took off me as well.
43:40Oh no.
43:41That's it.
44:05Good little job.
44:06Good little job.
44:07Yeah.
44:07Well, lad, to be fair, he was quite honest from the off,
44:11so he wasn't too bad.
44:12Yeah, he said straight away, didn't he?
44:13It was client plates.
44:14And he admitted to the drugs being in there.
44:17He blocked himself in from the front with his ballard,
44:20sorted himself out from the front, we weren't out to worry about the race.
44:22Thanks very much.
44:23Yeah.
