00:02This is Police Interceptors.
00:05Police 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.
00:18With air support.
00:19They're two out, standby.
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.
00:30I believe you'll want it, mate.
00:33Keep the streets safe.
00:37Get on the floor.
00:39And battle 24-7.
00:41Get down on the floor.
00:43In the war on crime.
00:45Crash, crash.
00:46On the floor now!
00:48This is what it is, isn't it? We find them, we lock them up.
00:57They seek him here.
00:58Anyone inside?
01:00White.
01:00BMW.
01:01Come out with nothing 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 behind your back!
01:15Do it now!
01:18They seek him there.
01:29I think we're going to have three subjects in total.
01:32Two of them armed with machetes.
01:34White.
01:35BMW.
01:36I believe.
01:37Tony, Paul and the rest of the firearms squad
01:39have tooled up after reports of men with machetes.
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 grow.
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.
02:16Is that here?
02:18Tony straight in to block the suspect motor.
02:21Blocked.
02:22Go on.
02:24And 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 this side.
02:48The car's empty.
02:51Is this going to be the one?
02:54So they've 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.
03:08No, anti-snap.
03:10Luckily, they're packing more than guns.
03:19Softened up with a ripsaw.
03:23Taken down with a red key.
03:25Police!
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 shtum.
03:47OK.
03:48This search is doubly dangerous.
03:52OK, yeah, I've got the ring or three.
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 two.
04:05Can you open it for me?
04:06Yeah.
04:07Sure.
04:10It's a small, small bathroom.
04:12My room, stay out.
04:15When it comes to high stakes hide-and-seek, this mob is as good as they come.
04:20OK.
04:20OK, so I've got open door right on me.
04:28Can we turn around?
04:28Yeah.
04:30They found the farm, but no farmer.
04:33Or any armed housebreakers.
04:36Anybody up the stairs?
04:38It's the old police!
04:40Come out with nothing in your hands. Do it now!
04:48Stairs go up and round, OK?
04:50Yeah.
04:51There 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?
05:09A 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 to bring ripsaw 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.
05:55They 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?
06:05Again?
06:06Keep it out of the gate.
06:07Then you should be able to rip it, Paul.
06:09Clear a hole so 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,
06:24burst through the hole is very much at the sharp end.
06:28Oh, we're going.
06:30I'm going to hold myself because I'm standing on my shoulder.
06:35No-one's here.
06:37Oh, there's an outside window.
06:39But they were recently.
06:41All right, they're getting in and out for the flat roof.
06:45There's just room for one cop at a time,
06:47and 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,
07:00one firearms officer edges onto the third-storey roof.
07:07The flat roof and the immediate vicinity is clear.
07:10An encounter with armed men 40 feet up
07:13is the stop of nightmares.
07:17Turn on your hands!
07:18Turn on your hands!
07:34I think we're going to have three subjects in total.
07:37Two of them armed with the jetty.
07:39Interceptors have raided a cannabis grove.
07:41Come out with nothing in your hands! Do it now!
07:45They suspect he's being burgled by an armed gang.
07:49You should be able to rip it, Boop.
07:51Breaking 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!
08:01Do it now!
08:02Do not move!
08:04Do not make any sort of movements!
08:06Do you understand?
08:08Yes?
08:09Put your hands behind your back.
08:10Put your hands on the small of your back.
08:12I understand.
08:14Put your hands behind your back!
08:19Stay there!
08:20Contact, contact.
08:22Reports describe a group of armed men with machetes.
08:25Do not move, mate, OK?
08:27OK, I've got three, two, one, go!
08:31So Paul's launched into the attic as urgent backup.
08:35Stand by.
08:39Stay exactly where you are, fella, all right?
08:41Don't make any sudden movements.
08:42You make any sudden movements, you will be tasered.
08:44Do you understand?
08:47Put your hands on your back.
08:53Right, have you got anything on you?
08:56They doubt this is a member of the gang, and suspect he's a live-in farmer in charge of the
09:01crop.
09:02Don't know how we're going to get him down.
09:06Travelling back along the roof with a prisoner is too risky, so the fire service are en route with a
09:11cherry 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 crewmate can't wait.
09:25That does not look nice.
09:27Leaving the prisoner with regular cops to wait for the cherry picker, the firearms duo are descending the old-fashioned
09:34way.
09:35We both don't like heights.
09:36You don't like heights?
09:38No, it's fine.
09:40Right.
09:41OK, so I'm finding a way to keep it out.
09:44I'll pull us in.
09:44OK, yeah.
09:45OK, so right foot.
09:48Left.
09:50Right.
09:52Left.
09:53Right.
09:56Thanks.
09:57At the end of their aerial ordeal...
10:00All right, stop.
10:00Rest there.
10:01Yep.
10:02Lovely.
10:02Good job, thank you.
10:04They discover the urgent firearms job was a false alarm.
10:08They're not going to go to the top now, are they?
10:10No.
10:10Could have worked for the top again.
10:16Area searches turned up no signs of the Machete gang, who, it seems, failed to gain entry and then fled
10:22in the dark.
10:24But the indoor hide-and-seek game was well played indeed.
10:28These people are experts at hiding. The smallest gap they're hiding, however, we're a bit better at hide-and-seek.
10:35Are we caught them in the end?
10:37Putting a cannabis grow out of action and nicking a suspected farmer was worth the price of entry.
10:43Phew.
10:45Well, there you go.
10:47Even if the exit was a bit more painful.
10:50Three storeys up.
10:51Can't say I enjoyed that.
10:53Fire will now come and put up the aerial platform and get him down through the cage, apparently.
10:58Whereas, as you saw, we didn't have such luxury.
11:00You got rescued with a cuddle.
11:02I got rescued with a cuddle, which I'm very grateful for.
11:08The BMW secured at gunpoint was later found to have no connection to the crime.
11:14No further action was taken against the man arrested on the rooftop, who was subsequently deported to his home country.
11:21But the rate took roughly £140,000 worth of cannabis plants off the streets.
11:32I've got motorbike failing to stop in Kingsthorpe.
11:34Motorbike theft is a nationwide problem, with hotspots in London and Nottinghamshire.
11:40The rider's unknown to me. He is wearing a helmet.
11:43But thanks to the interceptors, bike crime has been decreasing in North Hans.
11:48Left, left, left. This is a dead-end control. It's going to be going onto the park.
11:52But locking up the thieves isn't easy.
11:55Yeah, 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, but now you can get the smaller tags that you can place
12:13into any part of a motorbike.
12:15Should that item be stolen, it gives the police the heads-up.
12:20Anything that's got a tracker, we generally do find.
12:32It's a busy morning on the roads and 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 have dropped in behind a stolen bike.
12:51One, two, five. Nick recently in Northampton.
12:55As soon as he's got behind it, it's just failed to stop. He's had a bit of a run around
12:59town with it.
13:00The traffic cop getting the run around is Chris Guttridge.
13:08And the rider giving it to him is weaving onto the wrong side of the road.
13:17The traffic's no obstacle for a 1-2-5 scooter. Chris isn't so lucky.
13:33The target's in the distance, but Chris keeps it in his sights.
13:37And it's a right, right, right.
13:43Cops are desperate to colour this one, who may be part of a gang of bike thieves.
13:50And with Bertie racing in from the North, they'll soon have the numbers to box the bike in and, if
13:56necessary, give it a tactical nudge.
13:59It's nice that we're taking a bit more proactive stance against these people that are using Nick motorbikes and mopeds.
14:07Because for far too long, we've sort of threw our hands up and said,
14:12Well, it's too risky because they're on a motorbike.
14:14Well, it's only risky because they're making it, they say.
14:18You know, at some point, what have you got to do with this level of criminality, haven't you?
14:24But while traffic continues to hold up the cavalry...
14:27Really?
14:29At the sharp end, the runaway presses home his nippy advantage.
14:33On the right, right, right, right, right, right.
14:37Swerving down a footpath and beyond Chris's reach.
14:42Is there going to be a settle off now?
14:44A mile away...
14:48It's gone off-road.
14:50Bertie can only look and pray.
14:52If we see it again, hopefully we can get it stung, get it stopped and get some poor sod's bike
14:58back.
14:5924 years a cop, Bertie worked the Queen's funeral and the King's coronation.
15:06And he knows bikes are a royal pain in the...
15:10It leads you on a bit of a merry dance, but once we start getting in position to deal with
15:15them,
15:15they invariably end up going off-road, which more often than not limits our ability to be able to deal
15:21with them.
15:22It's very much a case of no deal with this one.
15:29Right there, Papa 64.
15:31Stairs.
15:32Unless Bertie can find it.
15:34Just come over to Northampton.
15:37Now.
15:37See if we can assist if that mic-pad turns up again.
15:40Inside it's a white Honda 125.
15:44What does that mean to you?
15:46So he's come down here...
15:49...and disappeared around the back of here.
15:54It's a fruitless search, and disappointing for a team that's vowed to stamp out bike theft.
16:03But there's more than one way to skin a scooter.
16:05Just pop up the 6-1.
16:07Possibly got two bikes in the rear garden.
16:11Not far from Bertie, Callum's been led to an address by a tracker fitted to a stolen moped.
16:17Do you mind if I have a quick look?
16:18No, you can carry on with it.
16:20Body cams caught his exchange with the resident.
16:23Are these your bikes?
16:25I 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, I've got one, no, no.
16:33Have you not got your Facebook account?
16:35No.
16:36At the minute, I suspect you may be handling stolen goods if you can't prove it.
16:39Yeah, no, no. I understand it.
16:40Who did you buy them off?
16:42Apparently, he bought both bikes from a lad called Gucci Gucci.
16:46Gucci Gucci Gucci.
16:47Yeah.
16:48Oh dear, mate.
16:49We need to get these out and properly have a look at them.
16:52Have you got clothes to stick on?
16:53Because you will be coming 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, Bertie 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 in seconds.
17:13And Gucci Gucci's number one customer is soon marched out.
17:18Two bikes in there.
17:19One's got a tracker in it, which is how I found it and looked over the garden fence.
17:23He's come in, so he's bought it in my Facebook Marketplace.
17:26Can't tell me about someone called Gucci Gucci.
17:28You got any keys for them, mate?
17:30No, mate.
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.
17:39Oh, have a look.
17:40Give me a couple of that.
17:42Confirms 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 that we've found in the rear garden
18:01is the one that Chris had 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 that the bikes were bought on Facebook Marketplace
18:21or from anyone known as Gucci Gucci.
18:24Scooter Boy pleaded guilty guilty to two counts of handling stolen goods.
18:28He was ordered to do 40 hours of unpaid work and pay £199 in costs and charges.
18:40I believe we've got something concealed in your trousers.
18:43Coming up.
18:44Because you might as well own up to it now, we're going to find it.
18:47Case cracked by the long arm of the law.
18:49The mail was detained for a strip search and then concealed within his boxes was a little kinder egg which
18:56contained some wraps of white powder.
18:58The truth is out there but probably not in Wollaston.
19:02What insurances are being driven on?
19:03It's not being insurances right?
19:05It's not being insurances right?
19:05It's been driven this morning.
19:07This isn't?
19:07We know it's been driven this morning.
19:09What I know?
19:09This.
19:11So let's not play games of it.
19:12We know it's been driven.
19:14And...
19:15Just had a power slide off of 15.
19:17A tough crowd...
19:19You're under arrest.
19:20...for 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 who you are.
19:42Okay.
19:43You want to come around and just try...
19:44It's fair to say a lot of lawbreakers...
19:46Off you start!
19:47Off you start!
19:48...came bottom of the class in charm school.
19:51You animals!
19:52And keeping calm in the face of abuse can 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.
20:10Sometimes, if you stay calm and try and be polite, you can calm tempers.
20:18But occasionally, I 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.
20:32...is Michael Hollowell.
20:33You're not even blowing.
20:34You're not even trying.
20:35I'm blowing.
20:36You're not.
20:37Mild-mannered...
20:38Now, one more go.
20:39...and with superhuman patience...
20:41You're going.
20:41You're going.
20:42You're going.
20:42You're going.
20:42You're going.
20:43You're going.
20:43You're going.
20:43You're going.
20:44Stop.
20:44Lovely.
20:44Well played.
20:45It takes more than a bit of lip to make St Michael lose his cool.
20:49Why are you asking me some questions, bro?
20:51Why are you losing your rag?
20:52Well, no, you're admitting me like this, you know?
20:54You're telling me, like, some simple things, bro.
20:57Do you always talk like that?
20:58Yes, why not? Like, I'm being rude with you.
21:00You're being rude with me because you're harassing me, right?
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.
21:16Yeah, that one there just 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. I 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 slip road.
21:40He's just gone through the lights, I think, or if it may be held.
21:44A trucker can't miss the marked car with blue lights on top.
21:48The 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.
22:11We'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. Standby.
22:17Yeah, Roger. We're running through.
22:20Just on a power slide off of the 15 onto the 508 towards Northampton.
22:26It's just coming off at the services.
22:28I've got on the roughest tyres, you haven't... you haven't run 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. Get 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.
22:54Charlie 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. Just leave it.
23:06Don't threaten me.
23:07If you threaten me, you go on the floor.
23:09No, no, no.
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.
23:14Do 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.
23:38Yeah, 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, you want me, you 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 down.
23:55So we can deal with you.
23:56Sit.
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?
24:03Are you just asking?
24:04You just sit there and behave yourself.
24:07Don't, if 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.
24:13Ironically, 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.
24:22I want to pee.
24:23Okay.
24:24Listen, listen.
24:26If you're good with me, I will come out here and I will stand next to you
24:29whilst 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, eh?
24:37Yeah.
24:38And 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?
24:46Do it up?
24:47Yeah.
24:48Because...
24:49I'm cold.
24:50You're cold, are you?
24:51Is that better?
24:52All right.
24:52Okay.
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.
25:17Let her put it.
25:17Just be quiet and stand like a proper adult and be quiet.
25:22You're under arrest.
25:24Oh, well done.
25:26You're funny, aren't you?
25:28Hilarious.
25:29You are a f***ing 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.
25:40Okay.
25:40If I was...
25:42You wouldn't behave like this.
25:44Rubbish.
25:44I...
25:45You are rubbish.
25:46Your attitude is terrible.
25:48No, you are rubbish.
25:51Even St Michael's legendary patience is wearing thin and things are about to take a turn that
25:56could wear it out altogether.
25:59Have we got a child in the car?
26:03Oh, my God.
26:06Can I get her, but...
26:07Yeah, you can...
26:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:09Yeah.
26:10Deal with that.
26:15I'm just gonna...
26:16Have you seen 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
26:30day.
26:31You better get your story right because if you drive like that with a small child in
26:35the back of the car, you're disgusting.
26:38And they've had enough of the driver's attitude.
26:41Look at you.
26:43You're just a piece of shit.
26:44Okay.
26:44No more than that.
26:46Take a seat in the car.
26:47Why are you pushing me?
26:48Sit in the car.
26:49Ah.
26:49Put your feet in.
26:51Put 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, we've got keys to get home.
27:07You have.
27:07Okay, lovely.
27:08I'm not...
27:09The 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, and there's no end in sight.
27:23As he gets the driver to custody for a blow on the evidential breath test machine.
27:29In there.
27:30That's where you're going.
27:31Right, go on.
27:31You've got to go in there, because that's what we do in the machine.
27:35Can you go in the...
27:35Can you go into that room, please?
27:37No.
27:38Okay, are you going to blow on the machine?
27:39Are you going to blow on the machine?
27:41Okay, 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.
27:49Come stand here.
27:49Well, you're walking too far.
27:51Stand there.
27:53Do I want to stand here?
27:54No, I want you to stand there, because 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.
28:05No, you don't.
28:05Because you've done plenty of talking.
28:06When I ask for a glass of water, you could...
28:09Do you want me to get you some water?
28:10Yes, of course I want.
28:12Your water, sir.
28:15Can I have one more?
28:17You can have as much as you like.
28:18Okay.
28:19He's testing Michael to the limit.
28:23Another one.
28:24Excuse me?
28:25I want another 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?
28:40Anyway, drinky drink.
28:41Can we go to cell?
28:42Can we go to cell?
28:43Drinky drink.
28:44Third drink drunk, it off to his luxury suite.
28:48Off you go.
28:48You can go to your cell.
28:51Ranting all the way.
28:54One last request for room service.
28:56And breathe.
29:03My God.
29:07No action was taken against the passenger.
29:10But baby driver lost his licence for two years, got served 120 hours of unpaid work and paid £199 in
29:20charges and costs after 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.
29:46And move on.
29:59Some criminals can be hard to miss.
30:04Others show up with thermal intervention.
30:07They're on the eastbound side, so if you're heading east on the A14, they're on the left-hand side of
30:12the road.
30:14And many are invisible.
30:16I'm getting courier vibes.
30:18To all.
30:19Courier.
30:20But the eagle eyes of a seasoned interceptor.
30:23He's just a deal to the guy in the red hat.
30:27You have a look at the drivers, and the drivers don't want to make eye contact with you, or they
30:31just make an unusual route,
30:33owing to your presence, which then so, obviously, immediately raises your suspicions.
30:38Just using your instincts, sometimes you get some decent results.
30:49It's Tuesday night, and Brad Smith and Carl Chambers are finishing a routine sweep of a drug hotspot.
31:00With uninspiring results.
31:04But they're woken by a BW going the wrong way round a short one-way street.
31:13Do 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 a one-way street.
31:24And I'll go really slowly.
31:26Creeping through an estate at five miles an hour, the driving is increasingly suspicious.
31:31Stop it.
31:32So they opt to give it a tug.
31:35The best place to stop, really.
31:36You are passing through.
31:47Hello.
31:48Hi.
31:48How you doing, mate?
31:49Have you got the key?
31:50Oh, yeah.
31:51Take the key out for me, please.
31:52Thank you very much.
31:53Do you have any reason why you think we've stopped you today?
31:58No.
31:58No.
31:59It's at Olympic Square, where you just went past us.
32:02Yeah, I just go from...
32:04Yeah.
32:05It's a one-way, one-way street, isn't it?
32:07So you need to go left and go right around.
32:09You've gone right when we nearly had a head-on collision.
32:14So you've gone the wrong way.
32:15Okay, so...
32:16Okay.
32:17Have you got your driving licence with you, sir?
32:19No.
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...
32:31It'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 your name?
32:45Just I have this car for two weeks.
32:47We've all had a guy we barely know lend us a car.
32:51Okay, but you don't...
32:52You only know him as Maxu.
32:54From where?
32:55Where do you work?
32:56I work in Leeds, but I work like...
33:00You work in Leeds?
33:01Yeah.
33:02Oh, okay.
33:02So what are you doing in Corby then?
33:04I have my girlfriend.
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?
33:13He'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.
33:24Um, you can't give us any details about the car.
33:27Yeah.
33:27But not as suspicious as this.
33:30Looking 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,
33:37the Misuse of Drugs Act.
33:38Okay?
33:38Can you just step out of the car for me, mate?
33:40Am I going to find any drugs?
33:42Could you?
33:43I know.
33:44You're not answering the question.
33:44Am I going to find drugs?
33:46Are there drugs in the car?
33:48No.
33:49Right.
33:49Right.
33:49Well, I can see a quantity of cash in your pocket.
33:51What's that on your trousers there?
33:53Yeah.
33:54Yeah.
33:54So?
33:57Face the car.
33:58Face the car.
34:15Face the car.
34:23Well, now is the time to mention it and spare the indignity of a strip search.
34:29We can't move him to the front at the minute.
34:30No.
34:30We'll take you to Christie and get you searched.
34:33It's not a long journey.
34:37He's tight-lipped during the trip to the Nick.
34:41Take your arm, mate, so you don't fall over, okay?
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 oak which contained some wraps of white powder,
35:00which we suspect might be cocaine.
35:04The lost lover from Leeds, who laid a Class A egg, is currently under investigation
35:09for possession with intent to supply cocaine.
35:13If nothing else, he'll take more notice of one-way signs in the future.
35:23Let's not play games.
35:24Coming up.
35:25Who's your name?
35:26I'm Steve.
35:27Playing games...
35:28No, it's here with me, 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, fellas?
35:47You might as well be honest with us.
35:48Yes.
35:49Just a couple of bags of wraps.
35:50That's it.
35:51...are open and shut.
35:53Wraps of what?
35:54It's crooked.
35:56Clip the curb there.
35:59He's probably then overcorrected, hasn't he?
36:01Others...
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 a reporter for driving when I do care of attention?
36:11And some...
36:12No, he's your king.
36:13He ain't my king.
36:13And he's driving a convertible.
36:15...are so confusing, the cops may never know the truth.
36:19He's king of the Hebrews.
36:20He'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 off-rise 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 you? Yeah.
37:40...a leisurely drive is just a tonic.
37:43Oh, 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?
38:07Yeah.
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.
38:25The missus car, number plates are in there.
38:27We're just going to wait for him to change over from the Ford Cougar in Yarmouth.
38:30He says he's going to transfer the private reg from his dad's Ford Cougar.
38:35It's on here.
38:36I'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.
38:45That's my dad's.
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 how it dress.
38:57And it's hard to keep up.
38:58Right, OK.
39:00I know they're with the plates for it, mate.
39:02What insurance is it being driven on?
39:04It's not being insured, mate.
39:05It's been driven this morning?
39:07It isn't.
39:08We know it's been driven this morning.
39:09What?
39:09This.
39:11So, let'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...
39:21Well, he's going to remove it off without putting on this.
39:22They're going to be insured.
39:24Right.
39:24He says he didn't drive it, reiterating that his dad is transferring the
39:28plate from his Cougar, which is entirely legal.
39:32That's from Mini.
39:33Mini?
39:34Yeah.
39:35Is that from there?
39:35No.
39:36Mm-hmm.
39:37Right there.
39:38Or Fiat 500.
39:38I'll double check it.
39:39Here it is.
39:41Which is my mum's.
39:42Or the Ford Cougar.
39:44The same plate has been snapped on a Mini.
39:47To confuse things further, he's now saying it may not be registered to the Cougar, but
39:52to his mum's Fiat 500.
39:56So, we had a...
39:57She had a Mini, and then she had a Fiat 500, and then a Ford Cougar.
39:59She's got a Ford Cougar and a Fiat 500.
40:01Oh, and mum previously had a Mini, we 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, so this has apparently come off a Cougar.
40:10This chair's transferred plate, and then moved on to this one.
40:13Um, so if ANPR Intel could, anything to that.
40:16We can put these back on for the moment if that makes it easy to do.
40:20Until 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 with the Beamer's genuine plates.
40:30Yeah, so father's given him the chair of transfer plate, and 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?
40:50It hasn't been on Renault traffic.
40:51It has.
40:52It hasn't, mate?
40:53It 100% has.
40:55Next up Renault traffic, so you haven't got Renault traffic, which is out there.
40:58That's your car.
40:59It's never been on that.
41:00I've got a Renault traffic.
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 that 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.
41:15What's that Renault?
41:15No-one's ever driven by a Renault.
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 him here from the haircut.
41:29Do you know what I mean?
41:31It's me old man.
41:31However, there are clearer pictures of 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, my old mum's old car.
41:46Right.
41:47The white Mini is now apparently his mum's old car.
41:49Yeah.
41:50He keeps developing as he goes along.
41:51Is it your 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.
42:00But he's in Tenerife.
42:01So how's he driving him 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 man and a female in it yesterday.
42:15Right.
42:16Well, I don't know who...
42:18He's in Tenerife, isn't he?
42:19Lanzarote, my dad was going to.
42:20Oh.
42:20Lanzarote.
42:22But 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,
42:33a Ford Cougar, a Fiat 500, a Mini and a Renault van.
42:37Oh, our news just in.
42:39Voxel Vectra?
42:40Still using that one?
42:41Has he got a Voxel Vectra?
42:42Yeah, he's got a Voxel Vectra.
42:45Andy.
42:45I haven't got a Voxel Vectra.
42:47No, seriously, Andy.
42:48Andy?
42:49I thought you said your name was Steve.
42:50My 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?
42:56I haven't driven this.
42:57You 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.
43:05No, I thought we were talking about this.
43:06Right.
43:06He's just changed his name as that.
43:08Mate, you 100% told us your name was Steve when we got here.
43:11All right.
43:11What was your name?
43:12I'm Steve, so yeah.
43:14Steve...
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 disqual driver.
43:24But, whatever the truth, Steve, Andy, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Mini, Renault, Cougar, Bima, Vectra,
43:30Fiat 500, Chris may never get to the bottom of the private plate.
43:35But what he does know for sure is that this car isn't taxed.
43:40Yeah, so we know it's got no tax.
43:42We're having it away.
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 back.
43:46The car's being seized.
43:48But 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.
43:59Lovely. Cheers.
44:03You're welcome.
44:07If he wants this 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...
44:16The 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.
44:38Donna'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.
44:47Sally Lindsay and Jill Halfpenny star in our brand new drama next.
44:53The entire world.
44:54Uh...
44:57The odd one fan of the Tharmist.
44:58The moon was a GOOD winner.
44:58Which sold him, she 507 accesses her bullw님이.
44:58You
