Transcript
00:01This is Police Interceptors, and you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
00:13Ace Pursuit drivers, with air support, and a crack dog unit.
00:27They bring down the bad guys, keep the streets safe, and battle 24-7, in the war on crime.
00:45This is what it is, isn't it? We find them, we lock them up.
00:54Coming up, tooled up for worse than DIY,
01:04Callum has a stab at why the Birmingham Four are on his patch,
01:07Oh, I know what you lot have been doing. You've been looking for Cannabis Factory.
01:12And then,
01:16Proves he's no slouch in a foot race.
01:19What did I do? Get on the floor.
01:35ANPR, Intel have identified this as a confirmed clone.
01:39It's a late one, and Matt and Bertie are trying to find a clone, SEAT.
01:43We suspect it's involved in criminality.
01:46There was a job a couple of nights ago where it was linked to potential stabbing.
01:52Intel suggests its occupants may be armed, and the boys are keen to meet them.
01:57Have we got any ARBs for you?
01:59Even so, they'd prefer armed response vehicles in reserve when they do.
02:05What can I say?
02:06They're all having some food after the silver job lesson.
02:09But firearms are grabbing food after a big job, and Matt and Bertie don't want to lose the SEAT.
02:16Where is it going?
02:18Bertie might not carry a firearm, but he's taser-trained and ready to roll.
02:31But as the dynamic duo race towards the spot of the last camera hit, the ANPR trail goes cold.
02:42CCTV picks up the search for the SEAT.
02:46There's not much traffic at this hour.
02:49And though this white hatchback isn't their clone, the car behind it is.
02:59The pair appear to be in convoy.
03:02They stop either side of a street corner, and several masked men get out.
03:13It's a 3am crime flick, as two of the five peel off.
03:19They seem to be armed, and as they vanish down a side street, this job is heating up.
03:26Which confluence of swords, or swords?
03:30No, swords.
03:32Swords?
03:34Swords, or swords, Matt and Bertie are heading for a serious situation.
03:39It's a good game, aren't it?
03:44Patrol, I know the ARVs are in there, having refs, but how long are they, yeah, so they're available.
03:49As the boys from traffic near the spot seen on CCTV, the masked pair re-emerge from the side street.
03:56And on closer look, their hardware falls firmly in the swords, not swords, category.
04:04Something's gone on there, there's a couple of masks, just run off.
04:07Two masked men have legged it.
04:09Yeah, they're caught running, that's gone down, gone, she's right now.
04:13Three others are unaccounted for.
04:17There it is.
04:18I've got the vehicle.
04:19It's stationary.
04:21It's not mine.
04:23They need to tread carefully.
04:33I think they've done over a cannabis factory, control.
04:35Can you just, um, some bite?
04:38Intel says this is a weed farm kept by one lone resident.
04:42The masked men may have robbed it.
04:45A front window for the living room's been done in.
04:47Likes are on.
04:49Or are still robbing it.
04:54They're still in there.
04:55Yeah.
04:56They're still in there.
04:57Yeah, I know.
04:59Armed response vehicles are finally on the move, but they're a way away yet.
05:10Shit.
05:11Get back, get back.
05:14Masked figures can be seen through a gap in the blind.
05:18Huh, they're in there.
05:19There's about three of them.
05:21And there are bloody paw prints on the window frame.
05:25Patrol, we've got three mouths inside, downstairs.
05:28They don't know we're here.
05:29Matt and Bertie are outnumbered and on their own.
05:32They've got weapons.
05:33But they're armed with tasers.
05:34And if there is a farmer inside, his life could be a danger.
05:38This lock is reinforced.
05:55Matt and Bertie have gone after a cloned car with links to weapons.
06:00We suspect it's involved in criminality.
06:02There was a job a couple of nights ago where it was linked to potential stabbings.
06:08Caught on CCTV, it's stopped with a second car.
06:11And mass men have decamped.
06:14Can we confirm if it was swords or sores?
06:17Armed with sores, two of the men have done a runner.
06:21They're in there.
06:22There's about three of them.
06:23Three more are in a house that the cops think is a cannabis factory.
06:27Patrol, we've got three mouths inside, downstairs.
06:29They don't know we're here.
06:30They've got weapons.
06:31Armed response units are on the way, but time is of the essence.
06:36It's like it's reinforced.
06:38I've never got way of.
06:39They need more serious hardware than Bertie's Surrey's nines.
06:43Can we have an ARV to us, please, with an enforcer?
06:46Luckily, the cavalry's arrived.
06:48This one, mate, yeah.
06:49Packing 16 kilos of hardened steel, known as the Enforcer.
06:59But even the big red key's struggling to open this one.
07:05And concerns for the weed farmer are off the charts.
07:11Bingo.
07:12Right, mine.
07:13Get in.
07:14Get in.
07:16Get in.
07:19I'll go downstairs.
07:20Confirm, go upstairs.
07:21I've got access to the property.
07:23It's a grow.
07:24Intel was bang on.
07:27Professional set-up.
07:29Street value-wise, you're looking at a few thousand.
07:32But where are the armed men and the farmer?
07:35Yeah, this is all secure down here.
07:36The arms be down this way.
07:37You're in here now.
07:38Make yourself known now.
07:40Raise for the dog.
07:40Make yourself known now.
07:42There are plenty of plants and places to hide.
07:45Raise for the dog.
07:47Show yourselves now.
07:49They have been to the rear door, because there's blood on it.
07:52Can they get out of it?
07:53Is it locked?
07:54I bet they've gone out of the window.
07:55A bit of detective work suggests they have.
07:58They have, isn't they?
07:58Because they've knocked that plant off the window.
08:00Yeah, and the curtain's hanging out of the window.
08:02They must have slipped through the window and gone fence-hopping.
08:05It's over to the dog unit.
08:07Down.
08:08Good boy.
08:09Wait.
08:10Wait.
08:10The hunt's on for an armed gang and a potentially injured farmer.
08:17Get up.
08:18Stand still, mate.
08:19Stand still.
08:21Stand still.
08:22Be going down your back.
08:23Put your hands around your back.
08:24Face the wall.
08:25Face the wall.
08:26Face that way.
08:27Put your hands around your back.
08:28The dog team has found a man cowering in a summer house, and they're confident he's the farmer.
08:34One in custody.
08:34Go.
08:35And he's hiding in an outbuilding.
08:38He doesn't speak a word of English, right?
08:40So I always suspect, at the minute, he's probably growing cannabis in that address.
08:46And these lads have turned up to rob him and the address.
08:51They've then put the front window through, at which point he probably legged it out of the bag.
08:56With one suspect terrified, but all in one piece...
08:59Get it.
09:00The dog and other units begin the search for the masked men.
09:05Get it.
09:06Fire.
09:08Get out of the gate now!
09:11And soon find another suspect in the grounds of a commercial property.
09:15Call under.
09:16Where have you got in?
09:22Hands up on your back.
09:24You're under arrest on submission of bird read.
09:26What's your name?
09:29Well, you're going to have to tell you what's your name at some point.
09:34Jack.
09:35Jack the lad hasn't got much to say for himself.
09:42Maybe the guy nicked around the corner is more talkative.
09:45Good point.
09:45On the floor.
09:46On the floor.
09:46Come on, why don't you sit on the floor?
09:48Yeah, but you're taking the piss, aren't you?
09:50Don't get on my back.
09:51I've got psychosis.
09:53No, thank you.
09:54Look at my tendons and my hands are on.
09:55Please don't snap them.
09:57That's all I ask.
09:57In fact, they can't shut him up.
10:12He's a laugh a minute.
10:14Oh, my God.
10:15It's a deadly concealed weapon.
10:16Empty.
10:17Next time.
10:19Maybe.
10:20Oh, my God.
10:21Look at all that cannabis in there.
10:22Don't tell my mum.
10:26Oh, yeah.
10:28Where's my transport?
10:29Where am I going in?
10:30You won't be coming in this one, unfortunately.
10:32I don't want to smell the beard oil.
10:33I don't want to go in there.
10:34Beard oil?
10:35100%.
10:36What, for my tiny moustache?
10:38That's not tiny.
10:40That's not tiny.
10:40I see what you're doing with your moustache as well.
10:42You know when it goes below the bottom lip and trying to play bad man?
10:46Northampton's premier facial hair appraiser may or may not have anything to do with the
10:50weed farm breaking, but he's certainly good value.
10:54You cut yourself.
10:54You got blood on you.
10:56What?
10:56You got blood on your tape.
10:58Period blood.
10:58That's why I don't like that.
11:03He'll be laughing all the way to the nick once his transport arrives, ready to join
11:08suspect number one.
11:09Jump in about the mat.
11:10I'll get your jacket.
11:14In the meantime, firearms have scooped up a fourth man.
11:18All right?
11:20Who's not really into moustache pants.
11:23What?
11:24I said, are you?
11:24No, I'm not.
11:26That's all I've said.
11:28Five masked men were captured on CCTV, but only four suspects were caught by the cops.
11:34After an investigation, no action was taken against any of the men regarding alleged burglary
11:40with intent to steal.
11:42However, the non-English speaker found cowering in the outbuilding was sent to an immigration
11:47center after he knowingly entered the UK without leave.
11:52Given the images captured on CCTV, it's a relief that Bertie and Matt came away unharmed.
12:00Years ago, coming across people with machetes and stuff like that was unusual, whereas nowadays
12:07it's regular.
12:08We've got more kit and equipment now and training and we've got access to stuff like taser and
12:13that, which is all good, but it all has its own limitations as well, so you have to be
12:19aware of it for your own safety.
12:33Wow.
12:34That's come right through your engine, babe.
12:36Around 350 people are injured on UK roads every day.
12:41If that had been another couple of inches higher, you'd be looking at being impaled by it.
12:46Cops are always looking to head off potential crashes.
12:48We're sitting at 95.
12:51And Scott and Joe are tracking in the accident waiting to happen.
12:55We're just passing the slip road for the circuit to our near side.
13:01A Fiesta ST has just passed Silverstone and its driver seems to think he's on the racetrack.
13:089.5, 95 mile an hour.
13:11But as he leaves the A43, his race is run.
13:15Near side indication, vehicle's stopped.
13:21It's a straightforward speeding ticket of three points and a £100 fine.
13:27I know you're close to Silverstone, but the speed limit is still 70 miles an hour.
13:32But with around 300 people a year killed in speeding-related incidents, any chance to prevent
13:37an accident is a win.
13:39Take it easy.
13:43Unfortunately, other dicey drivers haven't been so lucky tonight.
13:48Car parked on the slip road, van's gone into the back of a car and an occupant to the van
13:53has run off.
13:55Leaving the scene of a crash is a serious offence.
13:58So there could be a number of reasons why these people have run away from this van.
14:03It could be anything from not having a driving licence to being intoxicated, being disqualified.
14:10Whatever the reason, cops need to find the driver, who fled in a place Scott knows well.
14:16This is a fairly rural area.
14:18There is quite a lot of distance to cover before you come to any form of civilisation.
14:23So where you see those lights ahead, that's the top of the slip road.
14:26OK.
14:28At the scene of the crash, Scott gets the full SP from the driver of the car that's been hit.
14:39Will you drive a BMW?
14:40Yeah.
14:40What happened?
14:41Short story.
14:42Yeah.
14:42I'm on my side.
14:44Yeah.
14:44He's in a big van, so I'm thinking...
14:45Is this one up here, is it?
14:46Gone.
14:47They've left the keys on the tyre and everything.
14:48Oh, OK.
14:49After crashing into the BMW, the driver fled his tasty pimped-up VW
14:54and did one into nearby fields with three passengers.
14:58We've had a phone for an hour to recover it.
15:01Yeah.
15:01This recovery truck has been requested by potentially the driver of this vehicle.
15:07We'll get it recovered because it's a fair stop RTC.
15:11It seems the runaway driver rang a recovery company.
15:15The question is, where was he calling from?
15:18There's a chance he's out there.
15:19They're going to be stood along this road somewhere.
15:22Joe earned the nickname Jobby.
15:24When he was hit in the face by something nasty, Jack washed off his mate's boots.
15:30And rather than risk a dark field with all the perfumes of the countryside...
15:34Send Rob along the road to see if we can find them.
15:37...Jobby's sending Rob.
15:38Where are these idiots?
15:39Along this road somewhere.
15:41The trick with jobs like this is to prove who was driving.
15:44If anyone denies being involved in this, we've got an airbag deployment,
15:47so it's going to be excellent forensic evidence, should somebody say they weren't the driver.
15:53But first things first, find the driver and the three passengers who ran from the van,
15:58who, witnesses say, made for this field.
16:02The right attached.
16:03Just follow them.
16:05Cue the great escape searchlights.
16:07Left, left, left.
16:08Stop.
16:11The right attached.
16:12No signs of life yet.
16:14Just wanted to see some movement in.
16:16And although a big torch and local knowledge go a long way...
16:19He's going to have tried maybe this path here, isn't he?
16:21Yeah.
16:22It's quiet as the grave out there.
16:24I'm going to go see.
16:25I'm going to go for a walk.
16:26I'll have a block down here, then.
16:28Yeah, go on.
16:29Following his copper's nose, Rob's going full Blair Witch.
16:37You there!
16:39Police!
16:39Come out now!
16:41I see you down on the ground!
16:44We don't know if witches fear tasers.
16:46Get out here now!
16:47Police are tasers!
16:50Show me your hands!
16:51And we may never know.
16:52Come over here now!
16:54Towards me!
16:55Yeah, I've got to end this way.
16:56Most far while.
16:58Because the figure Rob sniffed out,
16:59it's just a dodgy-looking bloke lying in a field.
17:03Keep coming round.
17:05Did you go across the path?
17:07No, you came across here, didn't you?
17:09Come left.
17:09Come left.
17:10There's a bit lower over here.
17:11Come left here.
17:12No, he's done.
17:14Right, place away on your knees.
17:15Place away on your knees.
17:16On your knees?
17:17On your knees.
17:18Put your hands on your knees.
17:19On your knees?
17:20Put your hands on your knees.
17:21Right, you're under arrest, mate.
17:23Okay?
17:24Stop at the scene of an RTC.
17:25You don't have to say anything.
17:27Do you have no harm in defence if you do not mention one question or something,
17:29you'll get you later allowed in court.
17:30I'll wait for that room.
17:31Anything you do say, may be given an evidence.
17:34Anyone else with you?
17:35Yeah.
17:35Right, stand up and find a path.
17:37There you come.
17:38We're going to go towards the police car, right?
17:40Yeah.
17:41One down, but there are still three suspects at large.
17:45Should I see anyone out standing here?
17:47So, after loading Bushman into a car...
17:52The search begins for his mates.
17:55The eye is in the sky.
17:58Thermal imaging is go.
18:07Got one more heat source over there.
18:11Is there somebody else over there?
18:13And there's a telltale glow in the darkness.
18:17I think they've got one more over there.
18:18It's not the fairest game of hide and seek.
18:22Straight up to the trees there.
18:24You can try it straight out there, mate.
18:25Just in the trees there.
18:28Where was there?
18:29Just down there by this fence.
18:30How's there?
18:32We're just walking into the...
18:34We heard us there at the minute.
18:35Come with you.
18:37It's there somewhere.
18:38Come out, come out, wherever you are.
18:42Stand still.
18:43Put your hands out now.
18:45Oi.
18:49Put your hands behind your back.
18:50Do it now.
18:52Put your hands behind your back.
18:54Do it now.
18:55Stand.
18:56Stay on the floor.
18:57Put your phone...
18:58Just drop your phone.
18:59Oh, butch.
19:01Come back.
19:02It doesn't want you to know me.
19:03I don't drive.
19:04Put your hands behind your back, mate.
19:05It's hard, mate.
19:06I'm going to come in and hank off you, okay?
19:08Yeah, that's all right, mate.
19:08If I get any stuff moving,
19:09I'd say no, we're out to call the medium.
19:10It's all good.
19:15It's all good.
19:16It's not a bit in time, my friend.
19:17You're under arrest.
19:18No, I don't.
19:19I've stopped seeing the very traffic collision.
19:20I don't even drive or something.
19:21I don't.
19:22Oh, religious hands.
19:23I don't drive.
19:23What are you saying to me?
19:24I don't drive, so...
19:25You don't drive?
19:26No, really.
19:28Well, someone was driving.
19:31The cops need to establish why they ran.
19:35When you're in it.
19:37Okay, insufficient volume.
19:39You have to keep your legs tight around the end of the tube until I tell you to stop.
19:43And by the time Mr. I don't drive is marched to the cop cars,
19:49one possibility has emerged.
19:51It's 56, which is a fail anyway,
19:53so you're also now further under arrest for driving a motor vehicle,
19:55or so they're prescribing it for alcohol.
19:56If he was driving the VW, then he's in a van load of trouble.
20:01Nice tight seal around the tube,
20:02low into the device to a continuous drive.
20:04Let's have a good start.
20:05Keep going.
20:05Keep going.
20:06Keep going.
20:06And stop.
20:07It's hard.
20:09Well, so that's a fail at 48.
20:11That's all right, mate.
20:11I ain't driving, so I'm all right.
20:13We've got one, have I?
20:13No, I understand.
20:15I understand your perspective.
20:17Obviously, we don't know who we're driving.
20:18But they intend to find out.
20:20So there's been four in this vehicle in all.
20:24Two have got into a car and left,
20:26which leaves the two that we've got.
20:28And it helps to have an airbag full of forensics.
20:31What is the full description, please, of the driver that you've got?
20:36And a full description from multiple witnesses.
20:39So it is...
20:41All in black clothing, roughly 5 foot 10 of average build.
20:46Your head's short, no hair.
20:50We have a winner.
20:51Come in Bushman number one, your time is up.
20:54I warn you that failure to identify the driver is an offence
20:58and may render you liable to prosecution.
21:00Well, I come round the corner, the other driver's halfway in the road.
21:05Yeah.
21:06Well, it's halfway through the road.
21:07I've tried moving out of the way, hit his back end,
21:10slip down the side of him.
21:11Okay.
21:12We've hit each other, I've explained to him, I've given him my details,
21:15I've walked off to try and find help.
21:17Okay.
21:17I've found lights up here, lighted building,
21:21crossed the fence, try to find the lighted building,
21:24thinking it was help, then used scenery.
21:26Lying in the undergrowth, well over the drink drive limit.
21:29To summarise that, were you the driver of the vehicle?
21:31Yes, I was.
21:32Okay, thank you.
21:34If only it was always that easy.
21:37The search for the two outstanding passengers is called off.
21:40Take care.
21:42I don't drive is free to walk and, back at the nick,
21:46Bushman number one is free to sleep it off in a cell.
21:50Go ahead, grab your company.
21:51Go ahead, thanks.
21:56The driver, who lay in the dark looking for help,
21:59pleaded guilty to failing to stop after an accident and drink driving.
22:04The court ordered him to pay over two grand in fines and costs
22:08and took his licence for 14 months.
22:16Coming up...
22:17One run in!
22:18A swift exit isn't swift enough to lose the dog.
22:22Stay where you are, mate.
22:23Okay?
22:24Walk towards me.
22:25A whiff of weed doesn't go unnoticed.
22:28Who's got catapults on in them?
22:29They're stinking a bit in the car.
22:30They weren't born yesterday, lads.
22:31Come on.
22:33And a rogue horse isn't the only one with a long face.
22:37I'm going to admit something now, Lizbeth.
22:40I'm scared of horses.
22:57With a fleet of high-speed cars...
22:59I'm doing, like, 120, and he's just like...
23:04Interceptors have the high ground on the roads.
23:08Yeah, 6'5", trying to stop.
23:11But when it comes to a foot race...
23:14Jeans, blue jumper, stupid haircut.
23:17They're hamstrung by a seven-kilo handicap.
23:20Coming down the hill, I didn't know which was going to collapse first.
23:27We've got to run in all this kit.
23:29If it's young lads and they're wearing track suit bottoms and trainers,
23:33they have a distinct advantage, both in weight and age, and probably fitness.
23:39It is frustrating, but they'll come again.
23:48It's the late show.
23:49Copy that.
23:51And a traffic cop's clocked a driver known for having no licence.
23:57Driving? He wasn't driving. He wasn't driving.
23:59He's in my car.
24:01He wasn't driving.
24:02Right, don't lie to me. I saw him pass me.
24:06It's a confusing scene.
24:08The car belongs to the girl in the back.
24:10The shy front seat passenger...
24:12Right, who's with him? Why are you hiding your face?
24:14...is making to get out.
24:16What's going on there?
24:17And the driver's proper shifty.
24:19Where's the car key?
24:20The car key. I'm going to be looking for it once again.
24:22Right, just a minute.
24:24He's really shifting now.
24:28One running!
24:31The driver has a history of running from the cops.
24:34209, Bradley's running, Oxford Road.
24:36Which hasn't always ended well for him.
24:41Get on the floor!
24:43Come on, Dominique!
24:43Get on the floor now!
24:46But tonight, he has the single crew traffic cop at a disadvantage.
24:50Yeah, back towards the high street.
24:52Completely out of view at the minute.
24:53Because she can't leave the car and passengers.
24:56Obviously, I've still got three with the vehicle.
24:58Time to marshal the troops.
25:01If we can get 2-4 here to do a track, there's no real pedestrians around.
25:07Unfortunately for the driver...
25:10Nighty and Police Dog Blue are in the area.
25:13We're making the scene of that stop.
25:16See if we can get a track from there.
25:20Hopefully, he's gone to ground not too far away.
25:22As the dog team approaches the scene, the traffic cop has her hands full with the car's owner.
25:28Right, you're not having a car back.
25:31Why?
25:32Because Bradley's driving it and he's short.
25:34He wasn't driving it.
25:35Right, don't bullshit me.
25:36I've had enough of you.
25:38I've had enough of you.
25:39Yes, because you're lying.
25:40Don't lie.
25:41In love of me?
25:42Yeah.
25:42He wasn't driving.
25:44Listen, I'm not listening to your rubbish and your lies.
25:47It looks like we're here.
25:49Blue's impatient to find his man.
25:51All right, all right, blue boy.
25:55But Nighty needs to get up to speed.
25:58Bradley shot across the sea.
25:59I've grabbed him, tried to pull him back and he's just...
26:02And he's gone.
26:02Where was he last then?
26:03He's gone on that footpath there.
26:05So he's gone up towards the wreck?
26:07Yeah.
26:07Okay, no worries.
26:09There might be a few for Bradley.
26:12Release the land shark.
26:14Come on.
26:14That's a good land.
26:20Find track.
26:23Blue's favourite treats are sardines.
26:26So you wouldn't want to be downwind of him.
26:28And if you're on the run...
26:29Good lad.
26:31...you wouldn't want to be anywhere near him.
26:34What?
26:35Either the takeaway over the road sells sardines,
26:38or the passerby outside it...
26:42...isn't passing by at all.
26:45Bradley.
26:46Stay where you are, mate.
26:48Okay.
26:48Walk towards me.
26:50Walk...
26:50Brad.
26:51Brad.
26:52Brad.
26:53We've got way back.
26:54Walk towards me.
26:56Yeah.
26:58Mate.
26:59He's secure.
27:00Just keep walking towards me, Bradley.
27:02I've got you, man.
27:03I've got you, man.
27:04Um...
27:05Do you want to cross this road for us?
27:07Come on this side.
27:08Come on this side for me.
27:10The boat.
27:11Right.
27:11At the moment...
27:13I'll chat to you now.
27:14Yeah.
27:15Mate.
27:16Can you see that dog away from you?
27:17Mate.
27:18Before I start chatting to you...
27:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:21Um...
27:21Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:23Talk to my colleagues, mate.
27:26They can explain all.
27:30Good boy.
27:31It turns out 90 and this lad go way back.
27:34Where do you know me from?
27:35Rooshton, mate.
27:36I used to be a beat cop way back in the day.
27:39When PC Mitchell and the ACR was up.
27:41Yeah.
27:42Yeah, man.
27:43And the dogman's relieved he didn't have to feed a familiar face to Blue.
27:47You make the right decision, mate.
27:49I'm not stupid.
27:50You don't want to argue with this fella.
27:51I'm not stupid.
27:52No, you're not.
27:53But you are nicked.
27:54I'll have a license for a driver.
27:57Teamwork makes a dream work.
28:0190's familiar face was charged with driving without a license or insurance.
28:06He failed to turn up the court, but was later rounded up and pleaded guilty to both
28:11charges, plus an additional charge of failing to appear.
28:15He was ordered to pay £295 and got six points.
28:20But at least he knew when to stop running.
28:25And at least night he got to perform a little police PR with the locals.
28:30And we've got to do the trout pal.
28:32What's that?
28:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:33What do you do your top lip?
28:34No, look.
28:35Police interceptor.
28:36I'm like, this is crazy stuff.
28:37Like, this is cool.
28:38We think so.
28:39Have a pen.
28:40Oh, it says police interceptor.
28:44That's cool.
28:49As we've just seen, single crew cops are at a disadvantage when bad guys do a runner.
28:55We're running.
28:56But with reinforcements, interceptors usually get their man.
29:00Stay where you are, mate.
29:02And as Nighty says...
29:03Teamwork makes the dream work.
29:10Single crew today, Callum's behind a Mercedes with links to a potential assault.
29:15And there's not an indication for the Penfold Lane.
29:19He's come to a natural stop, Penfold Lane.
29:21I'm going to light him up.
29:31Turn the engine off for me, buddy.
29:35Turn the engine off.
29:38Turn the engine off.
29:44Yeah, Vicka stops for one hour.
29:45Your penis all right?
29:47Yeah, yeah.
29:47Have you got any ID on your mate?
29:49Yeah.
29:49He's dressed for the gym, but eating a burger.
29:52I just ate from McDonald's.
29:54So, mixed messages on the fitness front.
29:57Just chop me the key two seconds, mate.
29:59Yeah, yeah, of course.
30:00Thank you, buddy.
30:01The car's secure.
30:03But...
30:04Six-four.
30:04Who's the man we're looking for?
30:05Is this the man they're after?
30:07Where did I get stopped?
30:09I'll tell you in a second.
30:10All right.
30:11This is where it's preferable to be double crewed.
30:13Can I get my cigarettes, please, in the back?
30:15One second.
30:18Because this is the man linked to the suspected assault.
30:21Pop your hands behind your back for me, mate.
30:23What?
30:23The best advice Callum's had from a cop...
30:26...is it's a 30-year career, don't rush it.
30:31But sometimes...
30:32Are you counting underfoot?
30:34Police for the taser!
30:35You've no choice.
30:37He's breaking our straight mill and white.
30:38The guy's in his gym kit.
30:40For the taser!
30:41Callum's in seven kilos of police kit.
30:44Ten-fold bank, post the case.
30:47But the interceptor is still gaining.
30:50Ten-fold drive, ten-fold drive.
30:53It's level five, ten-fold drive.
30:55It's not over yet.
31:05But by the time reinforcements roll in...
31:08Here you go, here you go.
31:10...it is.
31:13Subject secure.
31:14Yes, Kevin.
31:15Good job, Callum.
31:23The lycra-clad runner who couldn't outrun Callum pleaded guilty to obstructing police
31:29and was ordered to pay a total of £182.
31:33No further action was taken regarding the suspected assault.
31:37So if he hadn't run, he'd have been in the clear.
31:44Once upon a time, cops fought crime with no more than a truncheon and a whistle.
31:50Not anymore.
31:53There's something thermal showing in that garden.
31:56From thermal imaging drones...
31:58Please stop for the tasers!
31:59Stay where you are!
32:00...to 40,000-volt tasers...
32:04The cops have gone high-tech.
32:07Clearly remnants of cannabis.
32:09But so have the bad guys.
32:13Whether they're rewiring a weed farm...
32:15Some of this stuff is bypassing electric metres.
32:18...or cloning the frequency of your car key.
32:20And he's well-known to keyless thefts.
32:23So I think we definitely have our man.
32:26I think it's inevitable that criminals will use technology to commit crime.
32:31Because as the world gets more and more technological...
32:36It just makes sense that they've got to move with the times.
32:39We have to move with the times as well...
32:42...and try and keep up with what they're doing...
32:44...so that we can counteract it.
32:54It's a quiet shift.
32:56So Callum and Matt have made a pit stop.
32:59Tom's marked car is already on the forecourt...
33:01...so he's not exactly rolling in action either.
33:04Ooh! Ooh!
33:07Two minutes ago, that car that's previously made off from officers...
33:10...has hit Banbury Road Brackley Out...
33:12...so it's probably going to be back towards us in Banbury.
33:14That's a bit more exciting than a double-decker.
33:16It's previously made off at speed after seeing officers.
33:19The target car has come down from Birmingham.
33:22Here's a silver Mercedes.
33:25And it shouldn't be hard to spot at this hour.
33:27There's nothing on the road.
33:28It's going to be the only car that we sell on the other side.
33:31You think Tom's following us?
33:32Yeah, that's good though.
33:34There's nothing here, so...
33:36...it'll be the next car we'd say.
33:41Yeah, it's that one.
33:43Just like that.
33:45Yeah, we'll have a look.
33:46Not as quickly as Tom, you won't.
33:49He's done you there, boy.
33:51Tom might want the biggest slice of the action...
33:53...but they need the unmarked beamer behind the target.
34:00We'll see what happens.
34:02It's fairly clogged us.
34:03It's slammed on.
34:05No-one wants the Merc to reach the dual carriageway.
34:09Do it sooner rather than later...
34:11...because the next roundabout after this one's going to be the...
34:13...light match to the others.
34:15But when they light him up, he pulls in without drama.
34:19It's going to be the hand-forward charge.
34:22And it's a belt-and-braces stop as Tom gets in on the action.
34:28We'll have vehicle stops.
34:31All right, are you OK?
34:32All right, thanks.
34:35How many's in it?
34:37I'm 2.3.4.
34:38So you've got cannabis on in them?
34:40Well, it stinks of it in the car, so someone else...
34:42Oh, some of them are smoking it.
34:44We weren't born yesterday, lads.
34:45Come on.
34:46The front seat passenger owns up.
34:48We've got a little...
34:49You've got a little bit on you, have you?
34:53He's saying you've got a little bit on him in the front column.
34:54Yeah, he's got it.
34:55Got a little bit on him.
34:56Is that yours, then?
34:57Yeah, that's mine.
34:59Right, lads.
35:00So you're all detained for the purpose...
35:02And yourself, sorry.
35:03You're all detained for the purpose of the search.
35:05That's because we can smell cannabis
35:07and you've just provided cannabis to us.
35:08Have you got anything on here you shouldn't have?
35:10Mm-hmm.
35:10Nothing at all, now.
35:13Where are you from?
35:14From Birmingham.
35:15Birmingham.
35:16What are you doing down this way, then?
35:17You should be in bed.
35:18Huh?
35:19What are you doing down this way?
35:20Chilling, huh?
35:21Sorry?
35:22Just chilling.
35:23Just chilling.
35:24So chilled, they need gloves.
35:26And this guy's dropped his.
35:28That yours?
35:30Hmm?
35:30That yours?
35:31Do you want pepper, though?
35:33You're dead.
35:36Well, it's just fallen out of your coat
35:38as I pulled it out of the car.
35:39Glove denier isn't the only one
35:41who seems to have something to hide.
35:43You've just taken your hand out of your pants.
35:44Give it to me now, I'm going to lock you up.
35:46Oh, that's what?
35:47Have you seen you take your hands out of your pants?
35:49Ain't done nothing, officer.
35:50Whatever he's hiding,
35:51he's going to give it up one way or another.
35:54Put your arms behind your back.
35:57Pack it in.
35:59Stop resisting.
36:00I'm not resisting after that.
36:01You are.
36:01You're tensing up for no reason at all.
36:04What's that on your pants?
36:05Nothing.
36:08What's that on your pants, man?
36:10Nothing, man.
36:11Right, you can either be honest with us
36:12or you're going to go all the way to Northampton
36:13and get strip searched.
36:15Oh, it'll be the, er...
36:17It'll be the lock knife
36:18that he's just tried to chuck in the back.
36:19It's a lock knife.
36:21Oh, for the old boy.
36:21Oh, for the old boy.
36:22It's a very offensive weapon.
36:23It's a nasty one, innit?
36:28And it locks.
36:32Trouble is, I don't know how you unlock it.
36:34How do you re-lock it?
36:38I don't know.
36:39It's not mine.
36:39Oh, funny, that.
36:41Well, it wasn't there a second ago
36:43when I was leaning in the car
36:44and looking at you.
36:45And funny enough,
36:45when we pull you out of the car,
36:46it's there.
36:47And the car contains something else of interest.
36:49What on earth is that?
36:53What's that?
36:54It's like a speed gun.
36:56Oh, it's a heat-seeker.
36:57That's a heat-seeker thing.
36:58Thermal.
37:00Remarkably,
37:00they've got a two grand thermal camera in the boot.
37:04Why on earth have you got a thermal?
37:05Why have you got a load of gloves on you as well?
37:07Multiple pairs of gloves
37:09and a thermal imaging camera.
37:11Does it work?
37:12Yeah.
37:12Point it at Callum's head
37:14and you'll see the synapses fire
37:15while he joins the dots.
37:17Ah, I know what you lot have been doing.
37:20You've been looking for cannabis factories.
37:23They've got it all saved on their device as well.
37:25As we've already seen,
37:27people aren't afraid
37:28to try and rip off rival cannabis factories.
37:31And the more sophisticated
37:32sometimes use thermal cameras to find them.
37:36Oh, silly boys.
37:40While Callum can't prove
37:41the boys were scoping for cannabis farms,
37:43recordings on this camera
37:45are certainly suspicious.
37:47No, you're not supposed to save your evidence.
37:49What are you,
37:50the old cannabis intel team from West Mids?
37:54No.
37:54No, of course not.
37:56No.
37:56No.
37:58Naughty, naughty people.
37:59You've been hiding in people's gardens
38:01and all sorts.
38:02I think we'll be seizing that.
38:03One of these lads
38:04has got a thermal imaging camera
38:05which has got photos
38:06of loads of properties down in Brackley
38:09stored on it
38:11looking at the roofs.
38:12So, there's a potential
38:14that these have been scouting out
38:15for cannabis factories down in Brackley.
38:17We're seizing that, mate.
38:18You ain't having that back.
38:19The vehicle's going to be left to go on its way.
38:21The driver is all in order.
38:23Front seat passenger
38:24has been dealt with
38:25for possession of cannabis.
38:26Rear nearside passenger.
38:29He is the one
38:30that's under arrest
38:30for possession of Lockknife
38:31and we will be taking him
38:33back to Northampton.
38:35No further action
38:37was taken regarding
38:37allegations of making off
38:39from police
38:39nor scoping out
38:41cannabis farms.
38:42However,
38:43the lad,
38:43the Lockknife,
38:44was found guilty
38:45of possession
38:45of a bladed article.
38:48He had violated
38:49multiple bail conditions
38:50so the court
38:52came down hard
38:53ordering him
38:53to pay a total
38:54of £837
38:55and sending him down
38:57for 39 weeks.
39:02The passenger
39:03with the weed
39:03got a community order
39:04while no further action
39:06was taken
39:06against the other occupants
39:07of the Merc.
39:09As for the seized camera,
39:11it was never claimed
39:12and Northampton
39:13now use it
39:14to find missing persons.
39:15It was also highly illuminating
39:17for the drug squad.
39:22On the actual camera
39:23it saves all the images
39:24so we were able to see
39:25exactly sort of
39:25which house they'd been to
39:27which ones were warm,
39:28which one was cold
39:29so it's quite good
39:30intel for us
39:31because now we've got
39:32a good idea
39:32of where the cannabis
39:32factories are.
39:34Coming up...
39:35I would rather tackle
39:36a knife-wielding maniac
39:39than deal with that.
39:41Jingle faces
39:42his toughest challenge yet.
39:58It's nearly 6am
40:01and Jingle is responding
40:03to reports of a wanderer
40:04on the Northampton Road.
40:05I'm going to tell you now
40:07I don't like horses.
40:11She's pretty happy
40:12just sitting there
40:13and she looks
40:14like a nice wet grass
40:15there, doesn't it?
40:16Someone has to go out there.
40:19Lizbeth, you there?
40:21But it's not going to be Jingle.
40:23I'm sure we're going, don't we?
40:25Lizzie is the cop's
40:26resident horse whisperer.
40:28There is indeed a horse
40:29on Northampton Road
40:31in Browland.
40:32What colour is it?
40:34It's white.
40:36It's got a coat on.
40:37Like a proper rug.
40:40Traveller horses
40:41don't normally
40:42have proper rugs on,
40:42do they?
40:43It doesn't sound
40:44particularly traveller-ish.
40:46To be fair.
40:48Can you get near it?
40:49Oh dear Jingle.
40:50I'm going to admit
40:51something now,
40:52Lizbeth.
40:53I'm scared of horses.
40:56Alright,
40:56I'm on the way,
40:58I'll stop at the
40:58GP garage
40:59and get some milk
41:00and stuff like that.
41:03Very good.
41:05Jingle might be content
41:06to wait for reinforcements
41:07but the horse is not.
41:09It's on the move
41:10which means the time
41:12has come to face the fear.
41:14If it eats me,
41:16I'm in trouble.
41:18You're a natural.
41:20I'm going to call it Dave.
41:23Dave the horse.
41:25I can't work out
41:26where it's even come from
41:27because all the gates
41:28nearby seem to be
41:29locked and secure.
41:32Maybe ask
41:32Neighbourhood Watch.
41:39Miserable morning
41:40and we're with
41:42Dave the horse.
41:43And here comes
41:44the horse whisperer.
41:48A horse.
41:49Can we just get the
41:51tow rope out for me
41:52and take off the metal
41:53for it?
41:53It's called Dave.
41:55The plan is to
41:56rein Dave in
41:57with the modified
41:58tow rope of a
41:59Volvo XC60.
42:01Well that's great.
42:02Now what do we do?
42:02Do you mean
42:03favour of faith
42:03to feed Dave and me?
42:05I don't want to
42:05that's why I don't like them.
42:07Just open me
42:08the room.
42:10Come and feed Dave and me.
42:13I don't like horses.
42:14Neither do I.
42:15I'm scared of them.
42:17Look it's the eyes.
42:19Yeah.
42:19Never trust the eyes of a horse.
42:21It's going to spit.
42:22Give it some.
42:23There's a polo.
42:28No I'm not feeding them.
42:29I would rather tackle a knife
42:31wielding maniac
42:33than deal with that.
42:35Well someone has to deal with it
42:37because though Dave has minty fresh breath
42:39and a fetching Volvo harness
42:41they need somewhere to put him.
42:44Does she live down there?
42:45She lives down there
42:46and she's got a load of horses.
42:47And Jingle has a brainwave.
42:49Wait did you get her
42:50to bring something up?
42:51A retired officer
42:52who lives nearby
42:53keeps horses.
42:54I feel bad knocking
42:55on somebody's door
42:55at six o'clock
42:56just because they've got a horse.
43:02But needs must
43:03and after a short wait
43:05for the door
43:05Jingle delivers
43:06one of the weirdest speeches
43:07of his career.
43:09Hello.
43:10Hello.
43:11I'm sorry to knock on the door.
43:13Sorry.
43:13However
43:13we've got a loose horse
43:15out on Northampton Road
43:16and I'm the only person
43:17I know in the village
43:18that's gone.
43:20The speech has the desired effect
43:22because half an hour later
43:25the horse loving ex-officer
43:27arrives on scene
43:28for a rainy reunion.
43:33Hello.
43:34Hello.
43:36Hi.
43:36Hi.
43:37And an attempt
43:38to ID the suspect.
43:40I think this is Jono.
43:42Oh I'm glad you know
43:43who he is.
43:44We called him Dave.
43:45I think he's Jono.
43:47With a possible ID
43:48they now need someone
43:49to stable Dave Jono
43:51until he can be reunited
43:53with his owner.
43:54You're ever so good.
43:56And it's the ex-officer
43:57to the rescue again
43:58because she's agreed
43:59to put him up.
44:00Jono.
44:01Lizzie just needs
44:02to get him there.
44:03Can't you just jump
44:05on its back?
44:06After a long walk
44:08to a good night's sleep
44:09Dave, Jono,
44:10the horse
44:11was reunited
44:12with his owner.
44:13The question is
44:14did Jingle's brush
44:16with a living
44:17breathing nightmare
44:18cure Jingle's
44:19philly-phobia?
44:21No.
44:22Still don't like him.
44:28Good evening.
44:29Tonight at ten.
44:31As a man
44:31gives us money.
44:34Money for what?
44:35Different stuff.
44:36If this gets
44:37in the wrong hands
44:37I'm done.
