00:02This is Police Interceptors.
00:04Police Interceptors are all I for.
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.
00:16Contact, contact, contact.
00:17Air pass 5-1.
00:18With air support.
00:19Got two out, stand by.
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.
00:38And battle 24-7.
00:41Get down on the floor.
00:43In the war on crime.
00:45Crash, crash.
00:46I'm just flying out!
00:48That's what it is, isn't it?
00:49We find them, we lock them up.
00:54Coming up.
00:57They see him here.
00:58Anyone who's dying.
00:59The White.
01:00BMW.
01:01Come out and lift them in your hands.
01:03Do it now.
01:06They seek him there.
01:07Anybody up the stairs?
01:09It's the old police!
01:10They seek that bad guy everywhere.
01:14Put your hands on your back!
01:15Do it now!
01:29I think we're going to have three subjects in total.
01:32Two of them armed with machetes.
01:34White, BMW, we believe.
01:37Tony, Paul and the rest of the firearms squad have tooled up after reports of men with machetes.
01:43It's very limited to you because we haven't let it on camera.
01:50We're on our way to people who have potentially been trying to break into a property.
01:54Seen with machetes, they've now got into a vehicle.
01:58Believe the property to be a cannabis grove.
02:04They think a rival gang is making an arm smash and grab for a competitor's crop.
02:09The gang reportedly seen near a white Beamer.
02:15Is that it?
02:18Tony straight in to block the suspect motor.
02:21A lot.
02:22It's cold.
02:23And with the threat of a lethal weapon, cops are taking no chances.
02:31It's the armed police!
02:33Anyone inside?
02:35The white BMW.
02:36Come out with nothing in your hands.
02:38Do it now!
02:42There's no movement inside.
02:48The car's empty.
02:51Is this going to be the one?
02:54So they locked down the area and turned to the suspected weed farm.
02:59Reports say the gang entered the property and may still be inside.
03:05Route one snapped the lock cylinder.
03:08No, anti-snap.
03:10Luckily they're packing more than guns.
03:19Softened up with a ripsaw.
03:23Take him down with a red key.
03:26Come to the door with nothing in your hands.
03:28Do it now!
03:33Anybody inside?
03:34The old police.
03:35Come to the door with nothing in your hands.
03:37Do it now.
03:41No movement.
03:43if anyone's inside they're keeping strong okay this search is doubly

05:41i can i propose we grips all that and make it bigger yeah they suspect there's a hidden space
05:47so it's out with the saw again to cut a peephole in the ceiling
05:54they peer into the void and it's as predicted
05:57yeah there's a whole other room up there
06:00there's a hidden room and they're breaking through to gain access
06:04what's up again?
06:06keep down we go
06:07then you should be able to rip it both clear a hole so you can see
06:17right let's go

06:19they're going in with extreme caution
06:22if armed men are up here burst through the hole is very much at the sharp end
06:28where are we going?
06:30i'm going to hold myself the sound of my shoulder
06:35no one's here
06:37oh there's an outside window
06:39but they were recently
06:42alright they're getting in and out through the flat room
06:45there's just room for one cop at a time and time is running out
06:51are you happy if i go out on the roof and look?
06:55someone else up there?
06:56nah stay there for now
06:58bravely flying solo one firearms officer edges onto the third storey roof
07:06the flat roof in the immediate vicinity is clear
07:09an encounter with armed men 40 feet up is the stop of nightmares
07:16turn me your hands! turn me your hands!
07:33i think we're going to have three subjects in central
07:36two of them armed with the jetty
07:39interceptors have raided a cannabis grove
07:41come on nothing in your hands do it now!
07:45they suspect he's being burgled by an armed gang
07:48you should be able to rip it
07:50breaking through a concealed loft room
07:53one cop has followed a trail to a third floor rooftop
07:57show me your hands! show me your hands!
08:00put your hands behind your back! do it now!
08:02do not move! do not make any sort of movements! do you understand?
08:08yes? put your hands behind your back! put your hands at the small of your back!
08:12i understand what?
08:14put your hands behind your back!
08:19stay there!
08:20contact!
08:22reports describe a group of armed men with machetes
08:25do not move mate! okay?
08:27okay!
08:27ready to go!
08:31so paul's launched into the attic as urgent backup
08:35come on boys!
08:39stay exactly where you are fella alright?
08:41don't make any sudden movements
08:42if you make any sudden movements you will be tasered
08:44do you understand?
08:46put your hands on your back!
08:53alright, have you got anything on you?
08:56they doubt this is a member of the gang
08:58and suspect he's a live-in farmer in charge of the crop
09:02don't know how we're going to get him down
09:06travelling back along the roof with a prisoner is too risky
09:08so the fire service are en route with a cherry picker
09:15that is like almost vertical
09:18that looks unpleasant from up here
09:20but another firearms job has come in and paul and his crew mate can't wait
09:25that does not look nice
09:27leaving the prisoner with regular cops to wait for the cherry picker
09:31the firearms duo are descending the old-fashioned way
09:34we both don't like heights
09:36you don't like that
09:37you don't like that
09:38you don't like that
09:38you don't have to come down
09:40no, it's fine
09:40right
09:41okay, so right foot
09:47left
09:50right
09:52left
09:53right
09:55left
09:56right
09:57At the end of their aerial ordeal...
10:04..they discover the urgent firearms job was a false alarm.
10:15Area searches turned up no signs of the machete gang,
10:19who, it seems, failed to gain entry and then fled in the dark.
10:24But the indoor hide-and-seek game was well-played indeed.
10:28These people are experts at hiding.
10:30The smallest gap they're hiding.
10:32However, we're a bit better at hide-and-seek.
10:34Are we caught them in the end?
10:37Putting a cannabis grow out of action
10:39and nicking a suspected farmer was worth the price of entry.
10:45Well, there you go.
10:47Even if the exit was a bit more painful.
10:50Three storeys up. Can't say I enjoyed that.
10:52Fire will now come and put up the aerial platform
10:55and get him down through the cage, apparently.
10:58Whereas, as you saw, we didn't have such luxury.
11:00And you got rescued with a cuddle.
11:02I got rescued with a cuddle, which I'm very grateful for.
11:08The BMW secured at gunpoint
11:10was later found to have no connection to the crime.
11:13No further action was taken against the man arrested on the rooftop,
11:18who was subsequently deported to his home country.
11:22But the raid took roughly £140,000 worth of cannabis plants off the streets.
11:32I've got mobile failing to stop in Kingsthorpe.
11:34Motorbike theft is a nationwide problem,
11:37with hotspots in London and Nottinghamshire.
11:40The rider's unknown to me. He is wearing a helmet.
11:42But thanks to the interceptors, bike crime has been decreasing in North Hans.
11:48Left, left, left. This is a dead-end control.
11:50It's going to be going onto the park.
11:52But locking up the thieves isn't easy.
11:54Yeah, we're off-road, off-road through bollards.
11:58Though it's getting easier thanks to modern tracking tech.
12:05Trackers generally were used in high-end vehicles,
12:08but now you can get the smaller tags
12:10that you can place into any part of a motorbike.
12:15Should that item be stolen, it gives the police the heads-up.
12:19Anything that's got a tracker we generally do find.
12:32It's a busy morning on the roads,
12:34and Paul Bertram's regretting his low-key ride.
12:37As nice as it is to go out in a plane car, nobody sees you.
12:42Bertie needs to assist with a runaway two-wheeler.
12:45One of the traffic cars in Northampton
12:47have dropped in behind a stolen bike.
12:52125, nicked recently in Northampton.
12:55As soon as he's got behind it, it's just about to stop.
12:58He's had a bit of a run-around town with it.
13:00The traffic cop getting the run-around is Chris Guttridge.
13:05Motor, one-up, wearing a helmet.
13:08And the rider giving it to him
13:10is weaving onto the wrong side of the road.
13:13It's calm. It's been back, driver.
13:14I don't have to beat the dog. It's been back.
13:17Traffic's no obstacle for a 125 scooter.
13:21Chris isn't so lucky.
13:33The target's in the distance, but Chris keeps it in his sights.
13:37And it's a right drive-right.
13:41Charming road.
13:43Cops are desperate to collar this one,
13:45who may be part of a gang of bike thieves.
13:48I believe I've been stolen.
13:50And with Bertie racing in from the north,
13:53they'll soon have the numbers to box the bike in
13:55and, if necessary, give it a tactical nudge.
13:59It's nice that we're taking a bit more proactive stance
14:03against these people that are using nicked motorbikes and mopeds.
14:07Because for far too long we've sort of threw our hands up and said,
14:12it's too risky because they're on a motorbike.
14:14Well, it's only risky because they're making it risky.
14:18You know, at some point you've got to deal with this level of criminality,
14:23but while traffic continues to hold up the cavalry...
14:26Really?
14:29..at the sharp end, the runaway presses home his nippy advantage.
14:33On the right, on the right, on the right, on the right.
14:37..swerving down a footpath and beyond Chris's reach.
14:42Is there going to be a better lock now?
14:44A mile away...
14:48..it's gone off-road.
14:49Bertie can only look and pray.
14:52If we see it again, hopefully we can get it stung, get it stopped
14:55and get some poor sod's bike back.
14:5924 years a cop, Bertie worked the Queen's funeral
15:02and the King's coronation.
15:06And he knows bikes are a royal pain in the...
15:10It'll lead you on a bit of a merry dance,
15:13but once we start getting in position to deal with them,
15:15they invariably end up going off-road,
15:17which, more often than not,
15:19limits our ability to be able to deal with them.
15:21It's very much a case of no deal with this one.
15:29Right, we have a path to 6-4.
15:31Go ahead.
15:32Unless Bertie can find it.
15:34Just come over to Northampton now,
15:37see if we can assist if that bike-bed turns up again.
15:40It's on its own white Honda 125.
15:44What is that?
15:46So he's come down here,
15:49and disappeared round the back of here.
15:54It's a fruitless search,
15:56and disappointing for a team
15:58that's vowed to stamp out bike theft.
16:03But there's more than one way to skin a scooter.
16:05Just pop up to 6-1.
16:07Possibly got two bikes in the rear garden.
16:11Not far from Bertie,
16:13Callum's been led to an address
16:14by a tracker fitted to a stolen moped.
16:17Do you mind if I have a quick look?
16:18I ain't carried on with it.
16:20Bodycams caught his exchange with the resident.
16:23Are these your bikes?
16:24Well, I have bought them on Facebook,
16:26so, yeah.
16:27I think one of them's nicked.
16:29It's got a tracker in it.
16:30Can you show me proof that you bought it?
16:32No.
16:33Have you not got your Facebook account?
16:35No.
16:36But at the minute,
16:37I suspect you may be handling stolen goods
16:38if you can't prove it.
16:39I understand it.
16:40If you buy them off, it's fine.
16:42Apparently, he bought both bikes
16:43from a lad called Gucci Gucci.
16:46Gucci.
16:46Gucci Gucci.
16:47Yeah.
16:48Oh, dear, mate.
16:49I need to get these out and properly have a look at them.
16:51Yeah.
16:51Have you got clothes to stick on?
16:53Because you will be familiar with me.
16:54Yeah, I'll just go and stick them on.
16:55That's cool.
16:56We'll get them on.
16:57While the suspect pulls on his custody finest,
17:01Bertie pulls up outside.
17:04Callum, I'm out by your car.
17:06Where are you, mate?
17:09I'm just in the house.
17:10We'll be coming through the back gate for seconds.
17:13And Gucci Gucci's number one customer
17:16is soon marched out.
17:17Two bikes in there.
17:19One's got a tracker in it,
17:21which is how I found it.
17:22Look at the garden fence.
17:23Oh.
17:24He's come in,
17:24so he's bought them on Facebook Marketplace.
17:26Can't tell me about someone called Gucci Gucci.
17:28You got any keys for them, mate?
17:29No.
17:30No?
17:31All right, mate.
17:32You got enough leg room?
17:33Yes, please.
17:35Oscar, Oscar, Oscar 586.
17:37A check of the VIN number...
17:39I'll have a look at Nick at the left.
17:42...confirms at least one of the scooters is nicked.
17:45Ported stolen 22nd of May from Woodside Walk in Northampton.
17:49So that's a stolen bike from May this year in Northampton.
17:53The second one also has history with the cops.
17:57And we've just identified that the white one
17:58that we've found in the rear garden
18:01is the one that Chris has been pursuing this morning.
18:04And both may be of interest to the fashion police.
18:09Gucci Gucci motorbike sales.
18:12They've run out of handbags, so you've got two mopeds.
18:16Cops found no evidence
18:18that the bikes were bought on Facebook Marketplace
18:21or from anyone known as Gucci Gucci.
18:24Scooter Boy pleaded guilty guilty
18:26to two counts of handling stolen goods.
18:29He was ordered to do 40 hours of unpaid work
18:31and pay £199 in costs and charges.
18:40I believe you've got something concealed in your trousers.
18:43Coming up.
18:44Because you might as well own up to it now.
18:45We're going to find it.
18:47Case cracked by the long arm of the law.
18:49The mail was detained for a strip search
18:51and then concealed within his boxes
18:53was a little kinder egg which contained
18:56some wraps of white powder.
18:58The truth is out there, but probably not in Wollaston.
19:02What insurance is he being driven on?
19:03It's not been insurance, right?
19:05It's been driven this morning.
19:07We know it's been driven this morning.
19:09What?
19:09This.
19:11Let's not play games of it.
19:12We know it's been driven.
19:14And...
19:15Just in a power slide off of 15.
19:18A tough crowd.
19:19You're under arrest.
19:20For the wheel spin, Jester.
19:22You're funny, aren't you?
19:39I'm sick of you because you're tramps, mate.
19:42That's all you are.
19:42OK.
19:43You want to come around and just try and...
19:44It's fair to say a lot of lawbreakers...
19:46Off you stuff!
19:47Off you stuff!
19:48...came bottom of the class in charm school.
19:51We're new animals!
19:52And keeping calm in the face of abuse
19:54can be one of the hardest parts of being a cop.
19:57Do you sleep at night?
19:59Yeah, I do.
20:00Yeah, like a baby.
20:01Are you sure?
20:01Are you sure you sleep at night?
20:06Argumentative and abusive customers are never nice.
20:11Sometimes, if you stay calm and try and be polite,
20:15you can calm tempers, but occasionally,
20:19I think being polite is lost on people.
20:25One of the most polite, easy-going figures on the force...
20:29Blow.
20:30You're not blowing.
20:31You're not blowing.
20:31..is Michael Hollowell.
20:33You're not even blowing.
20:34You're not even trying.
20:35I'm doing.
20:36You're not.
20:37Mild-mannered...
20:38Now, one more go.
20:39..and with superhuman patience...
20:41You're going, you're going, you're going, you're going,
20:42you're going, you're going, stop.
20:44Lovely.
20:44Well played.
20:45..it takes more than a bit of lip
20:47to make St Michael lose his cool.
20:50Why are you asking me such questions, bro?
20:51Why are you losing your back?
20:52Well, no, you're admitting me like this, you know?
20:54You're coming and you're taking me like some simple things, bro.
20:56Do you always talk like that?
20:58Yes, why not?
20:59Like, I'm being rude with you.
21:00You're being rude with me because you're harassing me, bro.
21:04It's a clear night on the A45.
21:08And Michael and Charlie are plotted up for an uninsured car.
21:13Should be here now, shouldn't it?
21:14No.
21:15Yeah, that one there has flew up to the junction.
21:18When a Merc at the exit ramp grabs Charlie's attention.
21:23Oh, he's just done a power slide.
21:24I love him, actually.
21:25Good luck catching him.
21:27A power slide involves booting the throttle to step out the back end.
21:31It's a move for racetracks, not slip roads.
21:36And he flew at the top of that snip road.
21:40He's just gone through the lights.
21:42I think, or if it may be held.
21:44A trucker can't miss the marked car with blue lights on top.
21:47The lorry driver already knows.
21:49Yeah.
21:50But the Merc driver's in another world.
21:56Or he wouldn't do that.
21:59Two metres from a bright yellow marked car, the driver burns out, sending smoke from the Merc's tyres and power
22:06sliding away.
22:10We've got a vehicle doing 100 miles an hour on the A45 from Junction 15 towards town.
22:15We've got a heavy braking now.
22:17Standby.
22:17Yeah, Roger.
22:18We're running through.
22:20Just had a power slide off of the 15 onto the 508 towards Northampton.
22:26It's just coming off at the services.
22:28I'm going to lock these tyres.
22:29You ever work with the driver?
22:30Yeah.
22:32The driver's in the middle of swapping places with his passenger.
22:37I just swapped.
22:39Which hasn't gone unnoticed.
22:41Hello, you're not the driver.
22:42Get out.
22:43You're the driver and you're shit at it.
22:47Get out.
22:48Get out.
22:49Get out.
22:51Michael takes the passenger who swapped seats.
22:53Charlie deals with the actual driver.
22:56How much you had to drink tonight?
22:58Two beers.
22:59Two beers.
22:59Three seats to the wind more like.
23:01Don't push it because you hurt me.
23:03I'm not hurting you.
23:04Don't push it.
23:05Just leave it.
23:06Don't threaten me.
23:07You threaten me.
23:08You go on the floor.
23:09I told you, I'm just holding it.
23:11No, you're hurting me.
23:12I'm not holding.
23:12I'm not hurting.
23:13I'm not making it any tighter.
23:15Do not push it anymore.
23:16I'm not going to push it.
23:17I'm just holding it.
23:19I'm just saying.
23:19The driver is doing himself no favours.
23:22Even though he wants one.
23:25Can I have a pee?
23:26No, absolutely not.
23:27You're under arrest.
23:28But Charlie is in no mood to let him go to the toilet.
23:32I want to pee.
23:33What do you mean, I'm under arrest?
23:36You're under arrest for dangerous driving at the moment.
23:37Yeah, but let me pee.
23:39Do you want to put him in here?
23:40Uh, yeah.
23:40Can you help me pee?
23:42No.
23:43You're going to come sit in the car.
23:45But I want to...
23:46You want me to pee on myself?
23:48No, I don't want to pee.
23:49I want you to be an adult and hold it.
23:50Put him in there so you can get him in the way.
23:52Sit there.
23:53Just sit your ass down there, mate, please.
23:55Sit down.
23:55Sit.
23:56Sit and be quiet.
23:58You want me to pee in the car?
24:00Just sit in the car.
24:01I want to pee.
24:02You want me to pee in the car?
24:03You just sit there and behave yourself.
24:07If you pee in my car, I will arrest you for criminal damage.
24:09Yeah.
24:10So don't do it.
24:10Be an adult and hold on to it for a minute.
24:14Ironically, he seems to be taking the pee himself.
24:17Are you going to blow into the machine?
24:19No, so you're further under arrest for failing to provide.
24:21I'm already arrested. I want to pee.
24:23OK.
24:24Listen, listen.
24:25If you're good with me, I will come out here
24:28and I will stand next to you whilst you go for a pee.
24:31Thank you very much.
24:32See?
24:33I asked you at the beginning, please, I want to have a pee.
24:36Just come and stand over here and go for a pee.
24:38Thank you very much.
24:39With his wee problem attended to, he wants another favour.
24:43Please, can you...
24:45Can I what?
24:45Do you, what, do it up?
24:47Yeah.
24:48Because...
24:49I'm cold.
24:50You're cold, are you?
24:51Is that better?
24:52All right.
24:52OK.
24:53Thank you very much.
24:54It's all right.
24:54I'd like to help customer service and all that.
24:57Please.
24:58The customer now wants his hood up.
25:01It's not...
25:02I'm not going to put your hood up.
25:03Stay as you are.
25:04All right?
25:05No.
25:06My head is cold.
25:08Don't swear.
25:09You don't need to swear at us.
25:10No, my head is cold.
25:11I need my head...
25:12I'm not putting your hood up.
25:13It's not raining.
25:14It's only cold.
25:15We're cold.
25:16We're standing here.
25:17Just be quiet and stand there like a proper adult and be quiet.
25:22You're under arrest.
25:23Oh, well done.
25:26You're funny, aren't you?
25:28Hilarious.
25:29You are a racist.
25:31Racist?
25:32Yeah.
25:32There's nothing...
25:33Exactly.
25:33I am foreign national and that's why you're like this.
25:36That is not racist.
25:37That's why you're like this.
25:38Because I'm foreign.
25:40If I was...
25:42You wouldn't behave like this.
25:43Rubbish.
25:44I...
25:45You are rubbish.
25:46Your attitude is terrible.
25:48No, you are rubbish.
25:50Even St Michael's legendary patience is wearing thin
25:54and things are about to take a turn that could wear it out altogether.
26:00Have we got a child in the car?
26:03Oh, my God.
26:06Can I get her?
26:07Yeah, you can...
26:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:09Yeah.
26:10Deal with that.
26:14I'm just gonna...
26:16Can you see what I've got in the back of the car?
26:19Why would you drive with a child like that?
26:22She was driving.
26:25He maintains he wasn't at the wheel, but the cops saw the pair swap seats as clear as day.
26:30You better get your story right, because if you drive like that,
26:34with a small child in the back of the car, you're disgusting.
26:38And they've had enough of the driver's attitude.
26:41Look at you.
26:42You're just a piece of shit.
26:44OK.
26:44Not more than that.
26:45Take six in the car.
26:47Why are you pushing me?
26:48Six in the car.
26:49Ah!
26:49Put your feet in.
26:50You are wearing this...
26:52Put your feet in.
26:52You are wearing this and you think you are...
26:57You are a very big guy.
27:00Because you are wearing...
27:01Whatever.
27:02Delightful.
27:03Passenger and baby are going home.
27:05Yeah, have you got keys to get home?
27:07You have.
27:07OK, lovely.
27:10The driver's going to the nearest Nick.
27:12Give me my phone.
27:13No, you're under arrest.
27:15That's my phone.
27:16It's your phone, correct.
27:18It's been a long night for Michael,
27:20and there's no end in sight.
27:23As he gets the driver to custody
27:25for a blow on the evidential breath test machine.
27:29In there.
27:30That's where you're going.
27:31Go on.
27:31You've got to go in there,
27:32because that's where we're doing the machine.
27:34Can you go in...
27:35Can you go into that room, please?
27:37No.
27:37OK, are you going to blow on the machine?
27:39Are you going to blow on the machine?
27:41OK, you're going to be charged with failing to provide.
27:43All right.
27:44We'll go back to the desk.
27:45We'll go back to the desk now.
27:48Here we go.
27:48Come stand here.
27:49Well, you're walking too far.
27:51Stand there.
27:52Do I want to stand here?
27:54No, I want you to stand there,
27:54because the sergeant needs to see you.
27:56I don't want...
27:56Don't be a child and stand there.
27:58That's what I don't want.
27:59This guy is really grinding Michael's gears.
28:02You don't listen to me.
28:03You don't listen to me.
28:04We've all listened to you,
28:05because you've done plenty of talking.
28:07No, you don't.
28:07When I ask for a glass of water,
28:08you could...
28:09Do you want me to get you some water?
28:10Yes.
28:11Of course I want.
28:12Your water, sir.
28:15Can I have one more?
28:16You can have as much as you like.
28:19He's testing Michael to the limit.
28:23Another one.
28:24Excuse me?
28:25Another glass of water.
28:26But somehow the interceptor keeps his cool.
28:29Sir, I told you before I'm very thirsty.
28:31This is the last one now, all right?
28:33Did I told you before I'm very thirsty?
28:35But you've not got very nice manners, have you?
28:36Sir, did I tell you...
28:37You don't tell me what to do.
28:38Did I tell you before I'm very thirsty?
28:40Drink a drink.
28:41Can we go to cell?
28:42Can we go to cell?
28:43Drink a drink.
28:44Third drink drunk,
28:45it's off to his luxury suite.
28:48Off you go.
28:48You can go to your cell.
28:51Ranting all the way.
28:52I'm going to buy it.
28:54One last request for room service.
28:56That's empty.
28:57Empty.
28:58Breathe some water.
29:00And breathe.
29:02And jump.
29:03My God.
29:07No action was taken against the passenger.
29:10But baby driver lost his licence for two years,
29:14got served 120 hours of unpaid work
29:17and paid £199 in charges and costs
29:21after pleading guilty to failure to provide.
29:25He did, however, provide St Michael with his greatest challenge.
29:31Takes a lot to get you angry, doesn't it, Mike?
29:33It does.
29:34But he wound me up so much and...
29:38I don't like getting wound up.
29:40Eight months old, that child.
29:41Eight months.
29:42I need something to eat.
29:43I need something to eat.
29:45Calm yourself down and move on.
29:59Some criminals can be hard to miss.
30:04Others show up with thermal intervention.
30:07They're on the eastbound side,
30:09so if you're heading east on the A14,
30:11they're on the left-hand side of the road.
30:14And many are invisible...
30:15Oh, I'm getting courier vibes.
30:18..to all...
30:19Courier.
30:20..but the eagle eyes are seasoned interceptor.
30:23He's just a deal to the guy in the red hat.
30:27You have a look at the drivers,
30:28and the drivers don't want to make eye contact with you,
30:30or they just make an unusual route
30:33owing to your presence,
30:35which then, obviously, immediately raises your suspicions.
30:38It's just using your instincts.
30:39Sometimes you get some decent results.
30:49It's Tuesday night,
30:51and Brad Smith and Carl Chambers
30:54are finishing a routine sweep of a drug hot spot.
31:00With uninspiring results.
31:04But they're woken by a VW
31:06going the wrong way round a short one-way street.
31:13Did you even go that way?
31:15I think so.
31:16Brad swings round to follow.
31:18Yeah, just a vehicle that's gone the wrong way round
31:21a one-way street.
31:23And now going really slowly.
31:26Creeping through an estate at five miles an hour,
31:28where the driving is increasingly suspicious.
31:32Stop it.
31:32So they opt to give it a tug.
31:35All right, the best place to stop it, don't you?
31:36You are a passenger, don't you?
31:47Hello.
31:48Hi.
31:48How you doing, mate?
31:49Have you got the key?
31:51Take the key out for me, please.
31:52Thank you very much.
31:54Do you have any reason why
31:54do you think we've stopped you today?
31:58No.
31:58No.
31:59It's at Olympic Square,
32:00where you just went past us.
32:02Yeah, I just go from...
32:04Yeah.
32:05It's a one-way street, isn't it?
32:07So you need to go left and go right round.
32:09You've gone right,
32:11and we nearly had a head-on collision.
32:14So you've gone the wrong way.
32:15OK, so...
32:16OK.
32:17Have you got your driving licence with you, sir?
32:19No, I didn't.
32:19Is it your car?
32:21No, it's my friend's car.
32:23Your friend's car?
32:24Who's your friend?
32:27I don't know which...
32:30The...
32:30It's just my friend's car.
32:33Yeah, which friend?
32:34I have a friend.
32:36Huh?
32:37My friend's work.
32:38What's his name?
32:40Maxu.
32:41Huh?
32:41Maxu.
32:42Maxu?
32:42Yeah.
32:43Do you know his surname at all?
32:45What's his name?
32:45Just I have this car for twigs.
32:47We've all had a guy we barely know lend us a car.
32:51OK, but you don't...
32:52You only know him as Maxu.
32:54From where...
32:55Where do you work?
32:56I work in, er...
32:58In Leeds, but I work like, er...
33:00You work in Leeds?
33:01Yeah.
33:02All right, OK.
33:02So what are you doing in Corby, then?
33:04I have my girlfriend.
33:06All right.
33:06Where does your girlfriend live?
33:07What do you mean?
33:09But you don't know where you're going.
33:11Do you live in Leeds?
33:12Yes.
33:13He's driven 120 miles in a car lent by a mate with no surname to meet a girl he can't
33:19find.
33:20A story that's certainly suspicious.
33:24You can't give us any details about the car.
33:27Yeah.
33:27But not as suspicious as this.
33:29Looking at your previous PNC, you've got a history of being involved in drug supply.
33:34So at this moment in time, you are going to be detained for a search under Section 23 of Misuse
33:37of Drugs Act, OK?
33:38Can you just step out of the car for me, mate?
33:40Am I going to find any drugs?
33:43I know.
33:43You're not answering the question.
33:44Am I going to find drugs?
33:46Are there drugs in the car?
33:47No.
33:49Right.
33:49Well, I can see a quantity of cash in your pocket.
33:51What's that on your trousers there?
33:54Yeah.
33:54What's that?
33:57Face the car.
33:58Face the car.
33:59You learn many things as a cop, including how to read a wrongan's underwear.
34:05Right, mate.
34:06I'm pretty sure you've got something concealed inside your box of shorts.
34:08Come and take a seat in the back of our car.
34:12Take a seat.
34:14I'm just smiling for you.
34:16Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's got something concealed in his boxers.
34:18So I'll take him in for a strip.
34:20If there is anything iffy in his unmentionables, now is the time to mention it and spare the indignity of
34:26a strip search.
34:28We can't move him to the front at the minute, no. We'll take you to Christie and get you searched.
34:33It's not a long journey.
34:38He's tight-lipped during the trip to the Nick.
34:41Take your arm, mate, so you don't fall over, OK?
34:43But a brief encounter in the interview room.
34:50Positive, yeah.
34:52And he's nicked.
34:54Concealed within his boxes was a little kinder egg, which contained some wraps of white powder, which we suspect might
35:02be cocaine.
35:04The lost lover from Leeds, who laid a Class A egg, is currently under investigation for possession with intent to
35:11supply cocaine.
35:13If nothing else, he'll take more notice of one-way signs in the future.
35:23Let's not play games again.
35:24Coming up!
35:25What was your name?
35:26I'm Steve.
35:27Playing games...
35:28Oh, it's Steve with the Andy.
35:30...with a man with two names.
35:32I thought you said your name was Steve.
35:45Some jobs...
35:46Are we going to find anything, Felice? You might as well be honest with us.
35:48Yes, just a couple of bags or wraps, that's it.
35:51...are open and shut.
35:53Wraps of what?
35:54Just cooking.
35:56Clip the kerb there.
35:59He's probably then overcorrected, hasn't he?
36:02Others...
36:02You can see wood in there as well, where he's hit it.
36:06...require more detective work.
36:08You're going to be reported for driving when I do care of attention?
36:11And some...
36:12No, he's your king, he ain't my king, and he's driving a convertible.
36:15...are so confusing, the cops may never know the truth.
36:19He's king of the Hebrews. He's not king of the Nubians.
36:26It's a sunny morning shift, and Chris and Rachel are motoring along in a marked Volvo.
36:33We are looking for a grey BMW 3 Series.
36:37Yes.
36:39Essentially, it's displaying the wrong registration.
36:43It's displaying a registration that we've also seen on a completely different vehicle.
36:48The identity crisis Beamer has been spotted in Wollaston, and multiple units are rushing to reach it.
36:55So we've got pre-emptive authorise on the car.
36:58So if it's sighted, we'll look to sting it, and then follow in that, put a box on it and
37:02get it stopped.
37:07Everything's in place for a high-octane stop.
37:12Oh, crack on them mush, get through.
37:15But as Chris and Rachel approach the spot where the target was last seen...
37:19Come on.
37:20...things aren't exactly supersonic.
37:23You're welcome.
37:28When they do finally rock up in Wollaston, there's no Beamer.
37:32This would be a good place to hide out of the way, like.
37:35But in such agreeable surroundings...
37:37This looks quite nice, aren't they?
37:39Yeah.
37:40A leisurely drive is just a tonic.
37:42Oh, that's it. That's it.
37:44Especially when it turns up the car that they're looking for.
37:47Got it.
37:52The BMW has a private plate, which is registered to a totally different car.
37:58It's unlocked.
38:00Oh, this has got a key in it as well.
38:03It's been on camera this morning, driving.
38:05But where's the driver?
38:07Oh, my God.
38:09Hello.
38:10Hi.
38:12Fido's unlikely to have been at the wheel.
38:14But Chris has a more promising candidate.
38:17Hello, mate.
38:18Right, buddy. Your car?
38:19The missus is, yeah.
38:20Why is it on false plates?
38:21It's on my dad's number plates.
38:22We're just going to change it over to a personalised plate.
38:25OK.
38:25We miss this car, number plates in there.
38:27We're just going to wait for him to change over from the Ford Cougar in Yarmouth.
38:29He says he's going to transfer the private reg from his dad's Ford Cougar.
38:35It's on here. I've got a V5.
38:38But he's putting the physical plates on the Beamer before doing the transfer with the DVLA.
38:43It's not a stolen car or anything. That's my dad's.
38:45Right.
38:46He's going to put them off a Cougar in Yarmouth.
38:48We've got a chap out of this now.
38:51He's claiming it's a private plate from his dad's in Yarmouth.
38:54It's all very confusing.
38:56That's her address.
38:57And it's hard to keep up.
38:59Right, OK.
39:02What insurance is it being driven on?
39:04It's not been insurance.
39:05It's been driven this morning.
39:07This isn't.
39:08We know it's been driven this morning.
39:09What?
39:09This.
39:11Let's not play games of it.
39:12We know it's been driven, which is why we're here.
39:14The fast talker denies driving the BMW today.
39:17And what car is that on at the moment?
39:19It's on the Ford Cougar.
39:20So he's going to remove it off of that and it will be insured.
39:24Right.
39:24He says he didn't drive it,
39:26reiterating that his dad is transferring the plate from his Cougar,
39:30which is entirely legal.
39:32That's from Mini.
39:33Mini?
39:34Yeah.
39:35Is that from this?
39:35No.
39:36It, right there.
39:38Or Fiat 500.
39:39Or the Fiat 500.
39:40Which is my mum's.
39:42Or the Ford Cougar.
39:44The same plate has been snapped on a Mini.
39:47To confuse things further,
39:49he's now saying it may not be registered to the Cougar,
39:52but to his mum's Fiat 500.
39:56So we had a,
39:56she had a Mini,
39:57and then she had a Fiat 500,
39:58and then a Ford Cougar.
39:59It's got a Ford Cougar and a Fiat 500.
40:01Oh, and mum previously had a Mini.
40:03We think.
40:04All right.
40:05What was your name?
40:06I'm Steve, so, yeah.
40:07Steve.
40:07All right, Steve.
40:08All right.
40:08Yeah.
40:08Yeah, so this is apparently come off a Cougar,
40:10this trailer's transfer plate,
40:11and then moved it onto this one.
40:12I know it's done already.
40:13It's on your plate.
40:13Do if ANPR Intel could add anything to that.
40:16We can put these back on for the moment,
40:18if that makes it easy to do.
40:19Until you get it sorted.
40:20Yeah.
40:20Yeah, I'm quite happy to do that.
40:22Yeah, go ahead, mate.
40:23Yeah, I'm quite happy.
40:24The driver sets about replacing the illegal private plates
40:28with the Beamer's genuine plates.
40:30Yeah, so Father's given him the trailer's transfer plate
40:34and has gifted it over to him,
40:36so he's now going to be using that one on this.
40:39But waters are about to get even muddier,
40:41because the same registration has been seen on a Renault traffic.
40:46So why's this plate been on a Renault traffic van and then a Mini?
40:50This hasn't been on a Renault traffic van.
40:51It has.
40:52It hasn't, though.
40:53It 100% has.
40:55And if that Renault traffic,
40:55so you haven't got Renault traffic,
40:56which is out there.
40:58That's your car.
40:59It's never been on that.
40:59I've got a Renault traffic van.
41:01And the Mini was my mum's before the Fiat 500.
41:04Everyone on the same page?
41:06Well, apparently a female here is saying
41:08that she's got a Renault traffic on the drive
41:10that has apparently nothing to do with this.
41:12We've got pictures of that plate on a Renault and on a Mini.
41:15Oh, that Renault.
41:15No-one's ever driven...
41:16No, not at all.
41:19Someone's been driving a Renault on the same private plate.
41:22It's her work vehicle.
41:23It's not clear from ANPR images who.
41:26Do you know what I mean?
41:27There's nothing dodgy about it, mate.
41:28Yeah, that would be Amir from the haircut.
41:29Do you know what I mean?
41:31It's my old man.
41:31However, there are clearer pictures
41:33of a man driving a Mini on the same plate.
41:36Right, so we've got a picture of you driving the white Mini.
41:39What white Mini?
41:40A white Mini with them plates on.
41:42So what's... stop, stop playing...
41:44That's my mum's car.
41:44My old mum's old car.
41:46Right.
41:47The white Mini is now apparently his mum's old car.
41:49Yeah, it must be.
41:50It keeps developing as you go along.
41:51Your dad's plates?
41:52Yeah.
41:53Can you give him a ring for us?
41:54I can, mate.
41:54Because he's still driving around on them.
41:56No, he's in Tenerife, mate.
41:57So your dad's cougar was driving yesterday?
41:59Yeah.
42:00But he's in Tenerife.
42:01So how's he driving it from Tenerife?
42:02Because my mum's there.
42:03Right.
42:04I'm not dodgy.
42:09Go on, mate.
42:12Apparently, according to the image, there's a male and a female in it yesterday.
42:15Right.
42:16Well, I don't know who his mum...
42:18He's in Tenerife, isn't he?
42:19Lanzarote, my dad was going to.
42:20Oh.
42:20Lanzarote.
42:21But my mum drives that car and she's got a Fiat 500 convertible now.
42:25I believe in pepper white.
42:27All right?
42:28To try and clarify, the same plate seems to have been used on a BMW, a Ford Cougar, a Fiat
42:34500, a Mini and a Renault van.
42:37Oh, our news just in.
42:39Voxel Vectra still using that one?
42:41I've got Voxel Vectra.
42:42Yeah, I've got a Voxel Vectra.
42:45Voxel Vectra.
42:45Voxel Vectra.
42:46I haven't got a Voxel Vectra.
42:47No, it's seriously Andy.
42:48Andy?
42:49I thought you said your name was Steve.
42:50Why is Andy?
42:51My brother's Steve.
42:52That's what I was saying.
42:52My dad's got my brother's kids.
42:54I just did this.
42:55Can I just...
42:56So you're Andy now?
42:57Oh.
42:57You're Andy or Steve?
42:59My brother's Steve.
43:00My dad's got his kids.
43:01Right.
43:02Yeah?
43:02So you definitely told me your name was Steve when we got here?
43:04Sorry, yeah, no, I thought we were like this.
43:06Right.
43:06He's just changed the name as well.
43:08Mate, you 100% told us your name was Steve when we got here.
43:10All right.
43:11What was your name?
43:12I'm Steve, so yeah.
43:13Steve.
43:14I met my brother Steve and that's who does it.
43:16My brother's kids and that.
43:17Nothing else, mate.
43:18It turns out that Andy, formerly Steve, is disqualified from driving.
43:22It's a disqualified driver.
43:23But, whatever the truth, Steve, Andy, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Mini, Renault, Cougar, Beamer, Vectra,
43:30Fiat 500, Chris may never get to the bottom of the private plate.
43:34But what he does know for sure is that this car isn't taxed.
43:40Yeah, so we know it's got no tax, we're having it away.
43:43Right, OK.
43:43If you want to take it, take it.
43:44But at the end of the day, I'm just going to get it all done.
43:46The car's being seized, but after vowing to pay up and get it straight back...
43:50Give them a call first, because they'll just need to confirm exactly where it is.
43:55The guy takes his paperwork and makes his exit.
43:59All right.
43:59All right, lovely, cheers.
44:03You're welcome.
44:07If he wants his back, he's going to have to go with somebody who has got a driving licence,
44:10some proof of ownership, he's going to have to insure it and he's going to have to tax it.
44:15So...
44:15The BMW was never collected from the pound and was crushed.
44:20Luckily, it sounds like there are plenty of other cars in the family.
44:32Hey, I'm Lucy.
44:33It is you.
44:34I watch Lucy Logan live every day.
44:36I'm your number one fan.
44:37Dana's starting to creep me out.
44:39She seems to be everywhere I go.
44:41The world is going to discover who Lucy really is.
44:45She's her number one fan.
44:48Sally Lindsay and Jill Halfpenny star in our brand new drama next.
