TVTranscript
00:02This is Police Interceptors, and you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
00:14Ace pursuit drivers, with air support, and a crack dog unit, they bring down the bad
00:29guys, keep the streets safe, and battle 24-7, in the war on crime.
00:45Crash, crash.
00:46On the floor now!
00:48This is what it is, isn't it?
00:49We find them, we lock them up.
00:56They seek him here, they seek him there, they seek that bad guy everywhere.
01:13But you have to find your back, do it now!
01:29I think we're going to have three subjects in total, two of them armed with machetes.
01:34White, BMW, I believe.
01:36Tony, Paul, and the rest of the firearms squad have tooled up after reports of men with
01:42machetes.
01:50We're on our way to people who have potentially been trying to break into a property, seen
01:55with machetes, they've now got into a vehicle, believe the property to be a cannabis grove.
02:04They think a rival gang is making an armed 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.
02:21Locked.
02:22Go on.
02:24And with the threat of a lethal weapon, cops are taking no chances.
02:31It's the armed police!
02:34Anyone 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?
02:54No, anti-snap.
02:55So 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, snap the lock cylinder.
03:08Nah, anti-snap.
03:10Luckily they're packing more than guns.
03:19Softened up with a ripsaw.
03:23Taken 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 come to the door with nothing in your hands.
03:37Do it now!
03:41No movement.
03:43If anyone's inside, they're keeping shtum.
03:47Okay.
03:48This search is doubly dangerous.
03:52Okay, yeah, I've got the ring off, Rick.
03:54There may be men with machetes.
03:56Plus, grows are often rigged with nasty traps for uninvited guests.
04:02Remember booby traps as well.
04:04Yeah.
04:04Yeah.
04:04Right, you'll be my tea.
04:05Can you open it for me?
04:06Yeah.
04:07Cheers.
04:10It's a small, small bathroom.
04:12Come on, Irene.
04:13Stay out.
04:15When it comes to high stakes hide and seek, this mob is as good as they come.
04:20Okay.
04:20Okay, so I've got open door right on me.
04:27Come on.
04:28Come on, guys.
04:29Yeah.
04:30They found the farm, but no farmer.
04:33Or any armed housebreakers.
04:36Anybody up the stairs?
04:38It's the old police.
04:39Come on, nothing in your hands.
04:41Do it now.
04:48Stairs go up and round, okay?
04:50Yeah.
04:50There are lots of places to hide in the cannabis jungle.
04:55All right, we're satisfied on this one.
04:57And tension's high with the threat of machetes.
05:03Right, just a small room round to the left.
05:06Can you see anything round to the right?
05:08There's a fridge and a wall.
05:12My room, stay out.
05:16Yeah, this room's as clear as it can be.
05:23Both floors are clear, but there's a clue in the ceiling.
05:29Can anyone get up that hole?
05:31Yeah, he would easily be able to get up there.
05:34It's big enough for a person fitted.
05:37Any person's in the loft, this is on.
05:39Please show yourself now.
05:42I propose we grips all that and make it bigger.
05:44Yeah.
05:46They suspect there's a hidden space,
05:48so 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 here.
05:59There's a whole room up there.
06:00There's a hidden room and they're breaking through to gain access.
06:04What's that? Again?
06:06Keep your hand, okay?
06:07Then you should be able to rip it, ball.
06:09Clear a hole, as you can see.
06:17Right, let's go.
06:18Ready?
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.
06:28Oh, we're going.
06:30I'm going to hold myself for the sound of my shoulders.
06:35No-one's here.
06:37Oh, there's an outside window.
06:39But they were recently.
06:42All right, 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?
06:56No, stay there for now.
06:58Bravely flying solo, one firearms officer edges onto the third storey roof.
07:06The flat roof and the immediate vicinity is clear.
07:10An encounter with armed men 40 feet up is the stop of nightmares.
07:16Let me have, let me have!
07:19Let me have!
07:26I think we're going to have three subjects in total.
07:32Two of them armed with machetes.
07:34Interceptors have raided a cannabis grove.
07:37Come on, nothing in your hands, do it now!
07:40They suspect is being burgled by an armed gang.
07:44You should be able to rip it, fool!
07:46Breaking through a concealed loft room, one cop has followed a trail to a third floor rooftop.
07:52Show me your hands! Show me your hands!
07:55Put your hands behind your back, do it now!
07:57Do not move!
07:59Do not make any sort of movements, do you understand?
08:03Yes?
08:04Put your hands behind your back.
08:06Put your hands on the small of your back.
08:08I understand.
08:09Put your hands behind your back!
08:14Stay there!
08:15Contact, contact.
08:17Reports describe a group of armed men with machetes.
08:20Do not move, mate, OK?
08:22OK, go, go.
08:26So Paul's launched into the attic as urgent backup.
08:30Standby.
08:34Stay exactly where you are, fella, right? Don't make any sudden movements.
08:37You make any sudden movements, you will be tasered, do you understand?
08:42Put your hands on your back.
08:49Right, have you got anything on you?
08:51They doubt this is a member of the gang and suspect he's a live-in farmer in charge of the
08:57crop.
08:57Don't know how we're going to get him down.
09:01Travelling back along the roof with a prisoner is too risky, so the fire service are en route with a
09:06cherry picker.
09:10That is, like, almost vertical.
09:13That looks unpleasant from up here.
09:15But another firearms job has come in and Paul and his crew mate can't wait.
09:20That does not look nice.
09:23Leaving the prisoner with regular cops to wait for the cherry picker, the firearms duo are descending the old-fashioned
09:29way.
09:30We both don't like heights.
09:31You don't like heights?
09:33No, it's fine.
09:36Right.
09:37OK, so right foot.
09:42Left.
09:45Right.
09:47Left.
09:48Right.
09:50Left.
09:51Thanks.
09:52At the end of their aerial ordeal...
09:56Lovely.
09:57Two guys, thank you.
09:59They discover the urgent firearms job was a false alarm.
10:03We're not going to the other job now, are we?
10:05No.
10:05Could have waited for the type of guy.
10:11Area searches turned up no signs of the machete gang, who, it seems, failed to gain entry and then fled
10:17in the dark.
10:19But the indoor hide-and-seek game was well played indeed.
10:23These people are experts at hiding. The smallest gap they're hiding. However, we're a bit better at hide-and-seek.
10:30Are we caught them in the end?
10:32Putting a cannabis grow out of action and nicking a suspected farmer was worth the price of entry.
10:40Well, there you go.
10:42Even if the exit was a bit more painful.
10:45Three storeys up. Can't say I enjoyed that.
10:48Fire will now come and put up the aerial platform and get him down through the cage, apparently.
10:53Whereas, as you saw, we didn't have such luxury.
10:55You got rescued with a cuddle.
10:57I got rescued with a cuddle, which I'm very grateful for.
11:03The BMW secured at gunpoint was later found to have no connection to the crime.
11:09But no further action was taken against the man arrested on the rooftop, who was subsequently deported to his home
11:15country.
11:17But the rate took roughly £140,000 worth of cannabis plants off the streets.
11:27I've got a motorbike failing to stop in Kingsthorpe.
11:29Motorbike theft is a nationwide problem, with hotspots in London and Nottinghamshire.
11:35The rider's unknown to me. He is wearing a helmet.
11:38But thanks to the interceptors, bike crime has been decreasing in North Hans.
11:43Left, left, left. This is a dead-end control. It's going to be going onto the park.
11:47But locking up the thieves isn't easy.
11:50Yeah, we're off-road, off-road through bollards.
11:53Though it's getting easier, thanks to modern tracking tech.
12:00Trackers generally were used in high-end vehicles.
12:03But now you can get the smaller tags that you can place into any part of a motorbike.
12:10Should that item be stolen, it gives the police the heads-up.
12:15Anything that's got a tracker, we generally do find.
12:27It's a busy morning on the roads and Paul Bertram's regretting his low-key ride.
12:32As nice as it is to go out in a plane car, nobody sees you.
12:37Bertie needs to assist with a runaway two-wheeler.
12:40One of the traffic cars in Northampton have dropped in behind a stolen bike.
12:46One, two, five. Nick recently in Northampton.
12:51As soon as he's got behind it, it's just failed to stop.
12:53He's had a bit of a run-around town with it.
12:55The traffic cop getting the run-around is Chris Guttridge.
13:03And the rider giving it to him is weaving onto the wrong side of the road.
13:12The traffic's no obstacle for a 1-2-5 scooter.
13:16Chris isn't so lucky.
13:28The target's in the distance, but Chris keeps it in his sights.
13:32And it's a right, right, right.
13:37Charmant road.
13:38Cops are desperate to colour this one, who may be part of a gang of bike thieves.
13:43I believe they've been stolen.
13:45And with Bertie racing in from the North, they'll soon have the numbers to box the bike in and, if
13:51necessary, give it a tactical nudge.
13:54But it's nice that we're taking a bit more proactive stance against these people that are using Nick's motorbikes and
14:01mopeds.
14:02Because for far too long, we've sort of threw our hands up and said,
14:07Well, it's too risky because they're on a motorbike.
14:09Well, it's only risky because they're making it risky.
14:13You know, at some point, you've got to deal with this level of criminality, haven't you?
14:18But while traffic continues to hold up the cavalry...
14:22Really?
14:24..at the sharp end, the runaway presses home his nippy advantage.
14:29Right, right, right, right, right, right.
14:32Swerving down a footpath and beyond Chris's reach.
14:37Is there going to be a settle off now?
14:40A mile away...
14:43He's gone off road.
14:45Bertie can only look and pray.
14:47If we see it again, hopefully we can get it stung, get it stopped,
14:51and get some poor sod's bike back.
14:5524 years a cop, Bertie worked the Queen's funeral and the King's coronation.
15:01And he knows bikes are a royal pain in the...
15:06It'll lead you on a bit of a merry dance,
15:08but once we start getting in position to deal with them,
15:10they invariably end up going off road,
15:12which more often than not limits our ability to be able to deal with them.
15:17It's very much a case of no deal with this one.
15:25Right, right, Papa 64.
15:27Stairs.
15:28Unless Bertie can find it.
15:30Just come over to Northampton.
15:32And now, see if we can assist if that bike-ped turns up again.
15:35He started some white Honda 125.
15:39What was that, thank you.
15:41So he's come down here...
15:44...and disappeared...
15:45...round the back of here.
15:49It's a fruitless search, and disappointing for a team that's vowed to stamp out bike theft.
15:58But there's more than one way to skin a scooter.
16:00Just pop up the 6-1.
16:02Possibly got two bikes in the rear garden.
16:06Not far from Bertie, Callum's been led to an address by a tracker fitted to a stolen moped.
16:12Can you mind if I have a quick look?
16:14Aye, carry on with it.
16:15Body cams caught his exchange with the resident.
16:18Are these your bikes?
16:20Well, I have bought them on my Facebook market, so yeah.
16:22I think one of them's nicked.
16:24It's got a tracker in it.
16:25Can you show me proof that you bought it?
16:27No, I've got one.
16:28You've not got your Facebook account?
16:30No.
16:31At the minute, I suspect you may be handling selling goods if you can't prove it.
16:34Yeah, no, no, no.
16:34I understand it.
16:35You buy them off, it's fine.
16:37Apparently, he bought both bikes from a lad called Gucci Gucci.
16:41Gucci.
16:42Gucci Gucci.
16:42Yeah.
16:44Oh dear, mate.
16:44We need to get these out and properly have a look at them.
16:47Have you got clothes to stick on?
16:48Because you will be coming with me.
16:49Yeah, I'll just go and stick them on.
16:51That's cool.
16:51We'll get them on.
16:52While the suspect pulls on his custody finest, Bertie pulls up outside.
16:59Callum, I'm out by your car.
17:01Where are you, mate?
17:04I'm just in the house.
17:05We'll be coming through the back gate in seconds.
17:08And Gucci Gucci's number one customer is soon marched out.
17:13Two bikes in there.
17:14One's got a tracker in it.
17:16Which is how I found it in the garden fence.
17:19He's come in until he's bought them on Facebook Marketplace.
17:21Can't tell me about someone called Gucci Gucci.
17:23You got any keys for them, mate?
17:25No.
17:26Alright, mate.
17:26Have you got enough leg room?
17:28Yes, please.
17:30Oscar, Oscar, Oscar, 586.
17:33A check of the VIN number...
17:34Oh, have a look, you need a couple of that.
17:37...confirms at least one of the scooters is nicked.
17:40Ported, stolen, 22nd of May from Woodside Walk in Northampton.
17:45So that's a stolen bike from May this year in Northampton.
17:48The second one also has history with the cops.
17:51We've just identified that the white one that we've found in the rear garden is the one that Chris has
17:58been pursuing this morning.
17:59And both may be of interest to the fashion police.
18:04Gucci Gucci motorbike sales.
18:07They've run out of handbags so you've got two mopeds.
18:11Cops found no evidence that the bikes were bought on Facebook Marketplace or from anyone known as Gucci Gucci.
18:19Scooter Boy pleaded guilty guilty to two counts of handling stolen goods.
18:23He was ordered to do 40 hours of unpaid work and pay £199 in costs and charges.
18:35I believe you've got something concealed in your trousers.
18:38Coming up.
18:39Because you might as well own up to it now, we're going to find it.
18:42Case cracked by the long arm of the law.
18:44The mail was detained for a strip search and then concealed within his boxes was a little kinder egg which
18:51contained some wraps of white powder.
18:54The truth is out there, but probably not in Wollaston.
18:57What insurance are you being driven on?
18:59It's not the insurance that's right.
19:00It's been driven this morning.
19:02We know it's been driven this morning.
19:04This.
19:06Let's not play games of it, we know it's been driven.
19:09And.
19:10Just had a power slide off of the 15.
19:13A tough crowd.
19:14You're under arrest.
19:15For the wheel spin jester.
19:18You're funny aren't you?
19:29I'm sick of you because you're tramps mate.
19:32That's all you are.
19:34It's fair to say a lot of law breakers.
19:36Off you start!
19:37Off you start!
19:38Off you start!
19:39Came bottom of the class in charm school.
19:41You're animals!
19:42And keeping calm in the face of abuse can be one of the hardest parts of being a cop.
19:48Do you sleep at night?
19:49Yeah I do, yeah like a baby.
19:51Are you sure?
19:51Are you sure you sleep at night?
19:57Argumentative and abusive customers are never nice.
20:01Sometimes if you stay calm and try and be polite.
20:05You can calm tempers but occasionally I think being polite is lost on people.
20:15One of the most polite easy going figures on the force.
20:19Blow.
20:20You're not blowing.
20:21You're not blowing.
20:22Is Michael Hollowell.
20:23You're not even blowing.
20:24You're not even trying.
20:25I'm doing.
20:26You're not.
20:27Mild-mannered.
20:28Now one more go.
20:29And with superhuman patience.
20:31Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, stop.
20:34Lovely.
20:35Well played.
20:36It takes more than a bit of lip to make Saint Michael lose his cool.
20:40Why are you asking me some questions bro?
20:41Why are you losing your bag?
20:42Well no you're admitting me like this you know.
20:44You're coming and you're taking me like some stupid things bro.
20:47Do you always talk like that?
20:48Yes.
20:48Why not?
20:49Like I'm being rude with you.
20:50You're being rude with me because you're harassing me bro.
20:54It's a clear night on the A45.
20:58And Michael and Charlie are plotted up for an uninsured car.
21:03It should be here now shouldn't it?
21:05No.
21:06Yeah that one may float to the junction.
21:09When a Merc at the exit ramp grabs Charlie's attention.
21:13Oh he's just done a power slide.
21:15We'll have him actually.
21:16Good luck for catching him.
21:17A power slide involves booting the throttle to step out the back end.
21:21It's a move for racetracks not slip roads.
21:26And he flew at the top of that slip road.
21:31He's just gone through the lights.
21:32I think or if it may be held.
21:34A trucker can't miss the marked car with blue lights on top.
21:38The lorry driver already knows.
21:39Yep.
21:41But the Merc driver's in another world.
21:47Or he wouldn't do that.
21:50Two metres from a bright yellow marked car the driver burns out.
21:54Sending smoke from the Merc's tyres and power sliding away.
22:01We've got a vehicle doing 100 miles an hour on the A45 from Junction 15 towards town.
22:06We've got a heavy braking now.
22:07Standby.
22:08Yeah Roger.
22:08We're running through.
22:10Just on a power slide off of the 15 onto the 508 towards Northampton.
22:16It's just coming off at the services.
22:18I've got to lock these tyres.
22:19You ever love the driver?
22:20Yeah.
22:22The driver's in the middle of swapping places with his passenger.
22:27I've just swapped.
22:29Which hasn't gone unnoticed.
22:31Hello, you're not the driver.
22:32Get out.
22:33You're the driver and you're shit at it.
22:37Get out.
22:38Get out.
22:39Stand over here.
22:40Get out.
22:41Michael takes the passenger who swapped seats.
22:44Charlie deals with the actual driver.
22:46How much you had to drink tonight?
22:48Two beers.
22:49Two beers.
22:50Three sheets to the wind more like.
22:52Don't push it because you hurt me.
22:54I'm not hurting you.
22:55Don't push it.
22:56Just leave it.
22:56Don't threaten me.
22:58If you threaten me you go on the floor.
22:59No, no, no.
23:00I told you I'm just holding it.
23:01No, you're hurting me.
23:02I'm not holding.
23:03I'm not hurting.
23:03I'm not making it any tighter.
23:05Do not push it anymore.
23:06I'm not going to push it.
23:07I'm just holding it.
23:10The driver is doing himself no favours.
23:13Even though he wants one.
23:15Can I have a pee?
23:16No, absolutely not.
23:18You're under arrest.
23:18But Charlie is in no mood to let him go to the toilet.
23:22I want to pee.
23:24What do you mean I'm under arrest?
23:26You're under arrest for dangerous driving at the moment.
23:28Yeah, but let me pee.
23:29Do you want to put him in here?
23:30Uh, yeah.
23:31Can you help me pee?
23:32No.
23:33You're going to come sit in the car.
23:35But I want to pee.
23:36Do you want me to pee on myself?
23:38No, I don't want to pee yourself.
23:39I want you to be an adult and hold it.
23:40Put him in there so you've got him in the way.
23:42Sit there.
23:43Just sit your ass down there, mate, please.
23:45Sit down.
23:46Sit down.
23:46So we can deal with you.
23:46Sit.
23:47Sit and be quiet.
23:49You want me to pee with the guy?
23:50Just sit in the car.
23:52I want to pee.
23:52You want me to pee in the car?
23:54Are you just asking?
23:54You just sit there and behave yourself.
23:57Okay, I will pee in the car.
24:07Are you going to blow into the machine?
24:09No, she further under-arrested failing for the ride.
24:12I'm already arrested.
24:13I want to pee.
24:13Okay.
24:15Listen, listen.
24:16If you're good with me, I will come out here
24:18and I will stand next to you whilst you go for a pee.
24:21Thank you very much.
24:23See?
24:23I asked you at the beginning, please, I want to have a pee.
24:27Just come and stand over here.
24:28Yeah.
24:28And go for a pee.
24:28Thank you very much.
24:30With his wee problem attended to, he wants another favour.
24:33Please, can you...
24:35Can I what?
24:36Do you, what?
24:36Do it up?
24:37Yeah.
24:39Because...
24:39I'm cold.
24:40You're cold, are you?
24:41Is that better?
24:42All right.
24:42Okay.
24:43Thank you very much.
24:44It's all right.
24:45I'd like to help customer service and all that.
24:47Please.
24:49The customer now wants his hood up.
24:51It's not...
24:52I'm not going to put your hood up.
24:54Stay as you are.
24:55All right?
24:55No.
24:56My head is cold.
24:59Don't swear.
24:59Don't even swear at us.
25:00No, my head is cold.
25:01I need my head...
25:02I'm not putting your hood up.
25:03It's not raining.
25:04It's only cold.
25:06We're cold.
25:06We're standing here.
25:07Let her put it.
25:08Just be quiet and stand there like a proper adult and be quiet.
25:12You're under arrest.
25:14Oh, well done.
25:16You're funny, aren't you?
25:18Hilarious.
25:19You are a racist.
25:21Racist?
25:22Yeah.
25:23There's nothing...
25:23Exactly.
25:23I'm foreign national and that's why you're like this.
25:27That is not racist.
25:28That's why you're like this.
25:28Because I'm foreign.
25:30If I was...
25:32You wouldn't behave like this.
25:34Rubbish.
25:35OK.
25:35You are rubbish.
25:36Your attitude is terrible.
25:38No, you are rubbish.
25:41Even St Michael's legendary patience is wearing thin
25:44and things are about to take a turn that could wear it out altogether.
25:50Have we got a child in the car?
25:53Oh, my God.
25:58Yeah, you can...
25:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:00Yeah.
26:00Deal with that.
26:05I'm just going to...
26:06Can you see what I've got in the back of the car?
26:10Why would you drive with a child like that?
26:12She was driving.
26:15He maintains he wasn't at the wheel.
26:18But the cops saw the pair swap seats as clear as day.
26:21You better get your story right because if you drive like that
26:24with a small child in the back of the car, you're disgusting.
26:28And they've had enough of the driver's attitude.
26:31Look at you.
26:33You're just a piece of shit.
26:34OK.
26:35No more than that.
26:36Take a seat in the car.
26:37Why are you pushing me?
26:38Sit in the car.
26:39Ah!
26:40Put your feet in.
26:41You...
26:41You are wearing this...
26:42You are wearing this and you think you are...
26:48You are a very bad guy.
26:50Because you are...
26:51Whatever.
26:53Delightful.
26:53Passenger and baby are going home.
26:56Yeah, we've got keys to get home.
26:57You have.
26:58OK, lovely.
27:00The driver's going to the nearest Nick.
27:03Give me my phone.
27:04No, you're under arrest.
27:05That's my phone.
27:06It's your phone, correct.
27:09It's been a long night for Michael and there's no end in sight.
27:13As he gets the driver to custody for a blow on the evidential breath test machine.
27:19In there.
27:20That's where you're going.
27:21Right, go on.
27:22You've got to go in there because that's what we're doing in the machine.
27:25Can you go into that room, please?
27:27No.
27:27No.
27:28OK, are you going to blow on the machine?
27:30I'm going to leave.
27:30Are you going to blow on the machine?
27:31OK, you're going to be charged with failing to provide.
27:33All right.
27:34We'll go back to the desk.
27:35We'll go back to the desk now.
27:38Here we go.
27:39Come stand here.
27:39Come stand here.
27:40Well, you're walking too far.
27:41Stand there.
27:43Do I want to stand here?
27:44No, I want you to stand there because the sergeant needs to see you.
27:46I don't want.
27:46Don't be a child and stand there.
27:48I don't want.
27:49This guy is really grinding Michael's gears.
27:52You don't listen to me.
27:53You don't listen to me.
27:54We've all listened to you.
27:55No, you don't.
27:56Because you've done plenty of talking.
27:57When I asked for a glass of water, you could...
27:59Do you want me to get you some water?
28:01Yes.
28:01Of course I want.
28:03Your water, sir.
28:05Can I have one more?
28:07You can have as much as you like.
28:08OK.
28:10He's testing Michael to the limit.
28:13Another one.
28:15Excuse me?
28:15Another glass of water.
28:16But somehow the interceptor keeps his cool.
28:19Sir, I told you before I'm very thirsty.
28:21This is the last one now, all right?
28:23Did I told you before I'm very thirsty?
28:25But you've not got very nice manners, have you?
28:27Sir, did I tell you...
28:28You don't tell me what to do.
28:29Did I tell you before I'm very thirsty?
28:30Can we go to cell?
28:32Can we go to cell?
28:33Can we go to cell?
28:33Drinky drink.
28:34Third drink drunk, it's off to his luxury suite.
28:38Off you go.
28:39You can go to your cell.
28:41Ranting all the way.
28:44One last request for room service.
28:47And breathe.
28:53My God.
28:57No action was taken against the passenger.
29:00But baby driver lost his licence for two years, got served 120 hours of unpaid work and paid £199 in
29:10charges and costs after pleading guilty to failure to provide.
29:15He did, however, provide St Michael with his greatest challenge.
29:22It takes a lot to get you angry, doesn't it, Mike?
29:24It does.
29:24But he wound me up so much and I don't like getting wound up.
29:30Eight months old, that child.
29:31Eight months.
29:32I need something to eat.
29:34I need something to eat.
29:35I need something to eat.
29:35Calm yourself down and move on.
29:50Some criminals can be hard to miss.
29:55Others show up with thermal intervention.
29:58They're on the eastbound side, so if you're heading east on the A14, they're on the left-hand side of
30:02the road.
30:04And many are invisible.
30:06I'm getting courier vibes.
30:08To all.
30:10Courier.
30:10But the eagle eyes of a seasoned interceptor.
30:14He's just a deal to the guy in the red hat.
30:17You have a look at the drivers and the drivers don't want to make eye contact with you or they
30:21just make an unusual route owing to your presence,
30:25which then so obviously immediately raises your suspicions.
30:28Just using your instincts, sometimes you get some decent results.
30:39It's Tuesday night and Brad Smith and Carl Chambers are finishing a routine sweep of a drug hot spot.
30:50With uninspiring results.
30:54But they're woken by a BW going the wrong way round a short one-way street.
31:00Did you even go that way?
31:05I think so.
31:06Brad swings round to follow.
31:08Yeah, just a vehicle that's gone the wrong way round a one-way street.
31:14And I'm going really slowly.
31:16Creeping through an estate at five miles an hour, the driving is increasingly suspicious.
31:22Stop it.
31:23So they opt to give it a tug.
31:25I'm really the best place to stop it, don't you?
31:26You are a passenger, don't you?
31:37Hello.
31:38Hi.
31:39How you doing, mate?
31:39Have you got the key?
31:41Take the key out for me, please.
31:43Thank you very much.
31:44Do you have any reason why do you think we've stopped you today?
31:48No.
31:49No.
31:49It's at Olympic Square where you just went past us.
31:52Yeah, I just go from...
31:54Yeah.
31:55It's a one-way street, isn't it?
31:57So you need to go left and go right round.
32:00You've gone right when we nearly had a head-on collision.
32:04So you've gone the wrong way.
32:05OK, sir.
32:07OK.
32:07Have you got your driving licence with you, sir?
32:09No, I didn't.
32:10Is it your car?
32:12No, it's my friend's car.
32:13Your friend's car?
32:14Who's your friend?
32:17I don't know which...
32:20The...
32:21It's just my friend's car.
32:23Yeah, which friend?
32:25I have a friend that...
32:26Huh?
32:27My friend works.
32:29What's his name?
32:30Maxu.
32:31Huh?
32:31Maxu.
32:32Maxu?
32:32Yeah.
32:33Do you know his surname at all?
32:35What's your name?
32:36Just I have this car for two years.
32:38We've all had a guy we barely know lend us a car.
32:41OK, but you don't...
32:42You only know him as Maxu.
32:45From where?
32:45Where do you work?
32:46I work in Leeds, but I work like...
32:50You work in Leeds?
32:51Yeah.
32:52All right, OK.
32:53So what are you doing in Corby then?
32:54I have my girlfriend.
32:56All right, where does your girlfriend live?
32:58What do you mean?
32:59But you don't know where you're going?
33:01Do you live in Leeds?
33:03He's driven 120 miles in a car lent by a mate with no surname to meet a girl he can't
33:09find.
33:10A story that's certainly suspicious.
33:15You can't give us any details about the car.
33:17Yeah.
33:18But not as suspicious as this.
33:20Looking at your previous PNC, you've got a history of being involved in drug supply.
33:24So at this moment in time, you are going to be detained for a search on the Section 23 of
33:27Misuse of Drugs Act.
33:28OK?
33:29Can you just step out of the car for me, mate?
33:31Am I going to find any drugs?
33:32Could you?
33:33I know, you're not answering the question.
33:34Am I going to find drugs?
33:36Are there drugs in the car?
33:38No.
33:38No.
33:39Right.
33:39Well, I can see the quantity of cash in your pocket.
33:42What's that on your trousers there?
33:44Yeah.
33:45What's that?
33:47Face the car.
33:48Face the car.
33:49You learn many things as a cop, including how to read a wrong'un's underwear.
33:55Right, mate.
33:56I'm pretty sure you've got something concealed inside your box of shorts.
33:59Come and take a seat in the back of our car.
34:03Take a seat.
34:05I'm just smiling for you.
34:06Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's got something concealed in his boxers.
34:08So I'll take him in for a strip.
34:10If there is anything iffy in his unmentionables, now is the time to mention it
34:14and spare the indignity of a strip search.
34:19We can't move him to the front at the minute, no.
34:20We'll take you to the custody and get you searched.
34:23It's not a long journey.
34:28He's tight-lipped during the trip to the Nick.
34:31Take your arm, mate, so you don't fall over, OK?
34:34But a brief encounter in the interview room...
34:41Positive, yeah.
34:43..and he's nicked.
34:45Concealed within his boxers was a little kinder egg
34:48which contained some wraps of white powder,
34:51which we suspect might be cocaine.
34:54The lost lover from Leeds, who laid a Class A egg,
34:58is currently under investigation for possession with intent to supply cocaine.
35:03If nothing else, he'll take more notice of one-way signs in the future.
35:13So, let's not play games.
35:14Coming up.
35:15What was your name?
35:16I'm Steve.
35:18Playing games...
35:18Oh, it's Steve with me, Andy.
35:20..with a man with two names.
35:22I thought you said your name was Steve.
35:30Some jobs...
35:31Are we going to find anything, fellas?
35:32You might as well be honest with us.
35:33Yes, just a couple of bags or wraps, that's it.
35:36..are open and shut.
35:38Wraps of what?
35:39It's cooking.
35:41Clip the kerb there.
35:44He's probably then over-corrected, hasn't he?
35:47Others...
35:47You can see wood in there as well, where he's hit it.
35:51..require more detective work.
35:53You're going to be a reporter for driving when I do care of attention.
35:56..and some...
35:57No, he's your king, he ain't my king, and he's driving the convertible.
36:00..are so confusing, the cops may never know the truth.
36:04He's king of the Hebrews.
36:05He's not king of the Nubians.
36:12It's a sunny morning shift,
36:14and Chris and Rachel are motoring along in a marked Volvo.
36:18We are looking for a grey BMW 3 Series.
36:22Yes.
36:23Yes.
36:25Essentially, it's displaying the wrong registration.
36:28It's displaying a registration that we've also seen
36:31on a completely different vehicle.
36:33The identity crisis Beamer has been spotted in Wollaston,
36:37and multiple units are rushing to reach it.
36:41So we've got pre-emptive authorised on the car,
36:43so if it's sighted, we'll look to sting it
36:46and then follow in that, put a box on it and get it stopped.
36:52Everything's in place for a high-octane stop.
36:57Oh, crack on them mush, get through.
37:00But as Chris and Rachel approach the spot where the target was last seen...
37:04Come on.
37:05..things aren't exactly supersonic.
37:09You're welcome.
37:14When they do finally rock up in Wollaston, there's no Beamer.
37:18This would be a good place to hide out of the way, like.
37:20But in such agreeable surroundings...
37:23This looks quite nice right there.
37:25A leisurely drive is just a tonic.
37:28Oh, that's it.
37:29That's it.
37:30Especially when it turns up the car that they're looking for.
37:33Got it.
37:38The BMW has a private plate,
37:40which is registered to a totally different car.
37:43It's unlocked.
37:46Oh, this has got a key in it as well.
37:48It's been on camera this morning, driving.
37:51But where's the driver?
37:53Oh, my God.
37:54Hello.
37:56Hi.
37:57Fido's unlikely to have been at the wheel.
37:59But Chris has a more promising candidate.
38:02Hello, mate.
38:03Your car?
38:04The missus is, yeah.
38:05Why is it on false plates?
38:07It's on my Dad's number plates.
38:08We're just going to change it over to a personalised plate.
38:10OK.
38:11The missus car, number plates are in there.
38:13We're just going to wait for him to change it over
38:14from the Ford Cougar in the armour.
38:15He says he's going to transfer the private reg
38:18from his Dad's Ford Cougar.
38:21It's on here.
38:22I've got a V5.
38:23But he's putting the physical plates on the Beamer
38:26before doing the transfer with the DVLA.
38:29It's not a stolen car or anything.
38:30That's my Dad's.
38:31Right.
38:31He's going to put them off a Cougar in the armour.
38:34We've got a chap out of this now.
38:36He's claiming it's a private plate from his Dad's in the armour.
38:39It's all very confusing.
38:41That's our address.
38:42And it's hard to keep up.
38:44Right, OK.
38:45I know they're into a plate split, mate.
38:47What insurance is it being driven on?
38:49It's not being insurances, mate.
38:50It's supposed to be on product.
38:51It's been driven this morning.
38:52Listen.
38:53We know it's been driven this morning.
38:54What happened?
38:55This.
38:56So let's not play games of it.
38:57We know it's been driven, which is why we're here.
38:59The fast talker denies driving the BMW today.
39:03And what car's that on at the moment?
39:04It's on the Ford Cougar.
39:09He says he didn't drive it, reiterating that his Dad is transferring the plate from his Cougar, which is entirely
39:16legal.
39:17That's from Mini.
39:19Mini?
39:19Yeah.
39:20Is that from Mini?
39:21No.
39:22Right there.
39:23Or Fiat 500.
39:24Or the Fiat 500.
39:26Which is my mother's.
39:27Or the Ford Cougar.
39:29The same plate has been snapped on a Mini.
39:32To confuse things further, he's now saying it may not be registered to the Cougar, but to his mum's Fiat
39:38500.
39:41So she had a Mini, and then she had a Fiat 500, and then a Ford Cougar.
39:45It's got a Ford Cougar and a Fiat 500.
39:46Oh, and mum previously had a Mini, we think.
39:49All right.
39:50What was your name?
39:51I'm Steve, so yeah.
39:52Steve.
39:52All right, Steve.
39:53All right.
39:54Yeah, so this has apparently come off a Cougar.
39:55This trailer's transfer plate, and then moved on to this one.
39:58It's only on the weekend.
39:59So if ANPR Intel can add anything to that.
40:02We can put these back on for the moment, if that makes it easy to do.
40:05Until you get it sorted.
40:06Yeah.
40:06Yeah, I'm quite happy to do that.
40:07Yeah, go ahead, mate.
40:09Yeah, I'm quite happy.
40:10The driver sets about replacing the illegal private plates with the Beamer's genuine plates.
40:15Yeah, so Father's given him the trailer's transfer plate, and has gifted it over to him,
40:21so he's now going to be using that one on this.
40:23Yes.
40:24But waters are about to get even muddier, because the same registration has been seen on a Renault
40:30traffic.
40:32So why has this plate been on a Renault traffic van, and then a Mini?
40:36It hasn't been on a Renault traffic van.
40:37It has.
40:37It hasn't, though.
40:39It 100% has.
40:40Next up, Renault traffic, so you haven't got Renault traffic, which is out there.
40:43That's your car.
40:44It's never been on that.
40:45I've got a Renault traffic.
40:46And the Mini was my mum's before the Fiat 500.
40:49Everyone on the same page?
40:51Well, apparently, a female here is saying that she's got a Renault traffic on the drive,
40:56but it's apparently nothing to do with this.
40:58We've got pictures of that plate on a Renault, and on a Mini.
41:00What's that Renault?
41:01No-one's ever driven a Renault van.
41:02Not at all.
41:04Someone's been driving a Renault on the same private plate.
41:07It's her work vehicle.
41:08It's not clear from ANPR images who.
41:12Do you know what I mean?
41:12There's nothing dodgy about it, mate.
41:13Yeah, that would be him here from the haircut.
41:15Do you know what I mean?
41:16Me old man.
41:17However, there are clearer pictures of a man driving a Mini on the same plate.
41:22Right, so we've got a picture of you driving the white Mini.
41:25What white Mini?
41:26A white Mini with them plates on.
41:27So what's...
41:28Stop, stop playing...
41:29That's my mum's car.
41:30My old mum's old car.
41:31Right.
41:32The white Mini is now apparently his mum's old car.
41:35Yeah, it must be.
41:35It keeps developing as you go along.
41:37Your dad's plates?
41:38Yeah.
41:38Can you give him a ring for us?
41:39I can, mate.
41:40Because he's still driving around on them.
41:41No, he's in Tenerife, mate.
41:42So your dad's cougar was driving yesterday?
41:45Yeah.
41:45But he's in Tenerife.
41:46So how's he driving it from Tenerife?
41:47Because my mum's there.
41:49Right.
41:49I'm not dodgy.
41:55Go on, mate.
41:57Apparently, according to the image, there's a male and a female in it yesterday.
42:01Right.
42:02Well, I don't know who his mum...
42:03He's in Tenerife, isn't he?
42:04Lanzarote, madame I was going to.
42:05Oh.
42:06Lanzarote.
42:07My mum drives that car and she's got a Fiat 500 convertible now.
42:10I believe in pepper white.
42:12All right?
42:14To try and clarify, the same plate seems to have been used on a BMW, a Ford Cougar, a Fiat
42:20500, a Mini and a Renault van.
42:23Oh, our news just in.
42:25Voxel Vectra, still using that one?
42:27Has he got a Voxel Vectra?
42:28Yeah, he's got a Voxel Vectra.
42:30Well, we've got a Voxel Vectra.
42:31I haven't got a Voxel Vectra.
42:32No, seriously, Andy.
42:34Andy?
42:34I thought you said your name was Steve.
42:36Why is Andy?
42:36My brother Steve, that's what I'm saying.
42:38My dad's got a brother's kids.
42:39I just did this.
42:40So, you're Andy now?
42:40I've been driven this.
42:41I've been driven this.
42:43You Andy or Steve?
42:44My brother's Steve.
42:45My dad's got his kids.
42:47Right.
42:47Yeah?
42:48So, you definitely told me your name was Steve when we got here?
42:50Sorry, yeah, no.
42:50I thought we were talking about this.
42:51Right.
42:51He's just changed the name as well.
42:53Mate, you 100% told us your name was Steve when we got here.
42:56All right.
42:57What was your name?
42:58I'm Steve, so yeah.
42:59Steve.
42:59I met my brother Steve and that's who does it.
43:01My brother's kids and that.
43:02Nothing else, mate.
43:03It turns out that Andy, formerly Steve, is disqualified from driving.
43:07He's a disqualified driver.
43:09But, whatever the truth, Steve, Andy, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Mini, Renault, Cougar, Beamer, Vectra,
43:16Fiat 500, Chris may never get to the bottom of the private plate.
43:20But, what he does know for sure is that this car isn't taxed.
43:25Yeah, so we know it's got no tax.
43:27We're having it away.
43:28If you want to take it, take it.
43:30But, at the end of the day, I'm just going to get it all done.
43:31The car's being seized, but after vowing to pay up and get it straight back.
43:36Give them a call first, because they'll just need to confirm exactly where it is.
43:40The guy takes his paperwork and makes his exit.
43:44All right.
43:44Lovely. Cheers.
43:48You're welcome.
43:52If he wants this bag, he's going to have to go with somebody who has got a driving licence,
43:56some proof of ownership, he's going to have to insure it and he's going to have to tax it.
44:01The BMW was never collected from the pound and was crushed.
44:05Luckily, it sounds like there are plenty of other cars in the family.
44:17The BMW got this bag, but there are plenty of things.
44:20And it's going to be the same thing.
44:21It's going to be the same thing.
44:21Where do the BMW move the BMW?
44:23Where do the BMW have to go?
44:33The BMW?
44:43You're welcome."
44:43It's going to be the same thing.
44:44I don't need let your BMW.
44:44It's going to be the same thing.
