00:00Police have some data! Stop!
00:02Driving is making off.
00:04Derbyshire traffic cops.
00:05Pull over in here now!
00:07Might be game on for something here.
00:09It's just gone. Go, go, go, go.
00:12Patrol some of the country's most dangerous roads.
00:15Speed is 4-0. The vehicle's all over the road.
00:19Driving head-on.
00:20He's up the curb.
00:21Into danger.
00:22We just have warning markers for firearms.
00:25Vehicle's done.
00:26Get out of the car!
00:28Wow, gun.
00:29Designed to look like a mobile phone.
00:31Don't pull away, fella.
00:33With rising crime rates.
00:37Officers are under pressure.
00:38Stop! Get out of here!
00:40Don't do that!
00:41Come out of here now!
00:42You're under arrest.
00:45Police!
00:46With lives on the line.
00:47We're going to need at least three or four ambulances.
00:51Is it fuel?
00:52Right, move away from this car.
00:53No!
00:54The stakes are high.
00:56It isn't looking good at the minute.
00:57For the traffic cops.
00:59We've blown 128 at 11 minutes past two in the afternoon.
01:02You're under arrest.
01:03We're speaking of theft of motor vehicles.
01:05Do not run!
01:07Smack the officer!
01:09Another problem!
01:10All right.
01:14Vehicle is failing to stop.
01:15Coming up.
01:17It's a side of a lorry on the roundabout.
01:20The traffic cops battling a surge in theft.
01:24They've had to drill through the ignition, get the bike to switch on.
01:28Hunting down stolen vehicles.
01:31I'm running.
01:31I don't get back.
01:32I'm guarding.
01:34Wanted shoplifters.
01:35I'm going to give you the opportunity now to come clean.
01:38Okay?
01:39About where that stuff's all from.
01:41And teenagers on the run.
01:44Stay there!
01:45Stay there!
01:46Give me your hands!
01:47Give me your hands now!
02:00Oscar Tango units are getting quite a few reports of some stolen vehicles.
02:06Are we getting units heading that way or in the vicinity at Knowledge N.A.?
02:12Tango 4-3, receiving 4-7.
02:16Following a spike in motorbike thefts across Derbyshire,
02:19traffic cop Andy Swift is tailing a group of riders linked to thefts earlier in the day.
02:29As two of the bikes separate...
02:31There's three altogether initially, but the two have turned off somewhere.
02:34I want to stop in the rear one.
02:35Andy focuses on the rider ahead.
02:39Vehicle is failing to stop.
02:40We have a full delivery of high-pulse vehicle.
02:42I'm going to have a cheap battery.
02:43I can't see if they've got headwear on or not, because it's the time of night.
02:46M-PASS comes towards me.
02:50Yeah, we see.
02:53A police helicopter is making its way towards Andy.
02:57And I from M-PASS.
02:59And will beam its coverage to force control.
03:03M-PASS will use the area for downlink, please.
03:064945.
03:07We're a mile from 26.
03:08We'll get off there.
03:10Traffic cops Chris Wells, Jackson and Devon Scarborough are also on their way.
03:16We've had a lot of stolen bikes today in Derby this afternoon,
03:20so there's every chance that this is going to be those stolen bikes.
03:25But we've got M-PASS above that should be with them shortly.
03:29So that gives us a much better chance of catching them,
03:32especially if we get resources to the area to get a containment on anywhere that they may go off-road.
03:38More than a million pounds' worth of motorbikes are stolen every month.
03:44Hello, thank you, sir.
03:46I'm making some ground to it.
03:48Team Sergeant Scott Riley heads to the area to help coordinate the pursuit.
03:54You've not got the luxury of time with a motorbike,
03:58because almost instantly they can be off a public road,
04:01across parkland where we can't follow.
04:04It's really important to try and get some eyes in the sky,
04:07get air support with us as soon as possible.
04:10With air support still minutes away,
04:13Andy continues tailing the rider.
04:16He's got a balaclava on, he's got a blue body warmer,
04:19and his top is like a light blue and grey striped top.
04:24For M-PASS, is he anywhere near?
04:27Yeah, from an A-4 unit, I note the request for M-PASS.
04:30If he's standby, we should be getting an ETA shortly.
04:34Yeah, from M-PASS, standby.
04:40From 4-6, advanced, high performance, my vehicle, TPAC.
04:46PC Adam Hardy is going after the other two bikes
04:49that peeled away from Andy.
04:53So I think it's going to come back to Chad.
04:56While Adam searches for the others.
04:59It's lower marks dropping, got an open-air struth.
05:03Andy's suspect is showing no signs of stopping.
05:06We're at the red ATS, standby.
05:09You're in high, which through is clear.
05:11Right, right, right.
05:15From 4945, we're not far now,
05:17so we'll try and get ahead of it.
05:19Book the slinger this side.
05:21Nearby, Chris and Devon race to set a trap to puncture its tyres.
05:26Hello, 10, good, so far?
05:27I've got that vehicle.
05:29While Scott closes in to support Andy.
05:32Yeah, that's all received.
05:33Thank you for that.
05:35Pursuing a stolen motorbike isn't so much about the risk to us.
05:39It's more about the risk to the individual on that bike.
05:42It is possible for us to sting a motorbike.
05:45It is possible for us to put tactics in place.
05:47But it is more difficult than doing it with a car.
05:50I've still got a duty of care to that rider,
05:52and so has everybody on our teams.
05:56Red ATS, a red ATS, standby.
05:58All right, vehicle's slipping.
06:01DRA high.
06:02The vehicle stopped me.
06:04I'm back to low.
06:06Red ATS, are they anywhere near?
06:10Overhead, down links on.
06:12We've got the vehicle on the camera.
06:14With the helicopter now above...
06:16From an AC error too, I am monitoring this incident.
06:19Control will oversee the pursuit at Force HQ.
06:23Stem cross, have you got me?
06:26I've got it on camera.
06:27I'll keep it up.
06:31Enpast, I'll let you take over if you're going to all the traffic light.
06:33We're tearing it up.
06:34I'll back off a lot of it.
06:38NA, Oscar Tango, 4-3.
06:40As the pursuit reaches the city centre,
06:43PC Alex Head and Scott join Andy from behind.
06:49Ultimately, going through my mind is that this incident
06:52can very quickly escalate to a fatal incident.
06:56If somebody steps out on that road,
06:58if it loses control,
06:59hits another vehicle head-on,
07:01the stakes are as high as they can ever be.
07:06From 4-9, we've got a stinger,
07:08in case he comes back out towards Pentigan.
07:11Nearby...
07:11All right, sit here.
07:12Sit here.
07:13Chris and Devon are searching for a location to set a trap.
07:18Yeah, just sit here a minute.
07:22But with the rider turning in another direction...
07:26Come out down by the bridge, that bridge.
07:27Go right here, then.
07:29Once again, they're playing catch-up.
07:33We'll probably go round here.
07:34Put that roundabout up here, aren't we?
07:35So what we'll do is go towards...
07:39Go right, and then left.
07:42Close by, desperate to escape,
07:44the rider makes a deadly move.
07:48He's up to the side of a lorry on the roundabout.
07:57Hey, he's come back from the right side of my brother lorry now.
08:00He's back on the car.
08:01So do a get-by.
08:06Concern for the rider's safety.
08:08I'll leave the air to you while you do this.
08:12The team is forced to act.
08:15You've got the inside, Scott. I'll stay at the back.
08:19You know that you've got to make the best decision
08:22with the information you've got at the time,
08:24and ultimately, that's going to be played out in a court of law
08:28and scrutinised for months and years to come,
08:32if something goes wrong.
08:35As they close in,
08:36a member of the public tries to help box the rider in.
08:41But the biker slips past.
08:45Andy quickly pulls ahead to corner the rider
08:48and block his escape.
09:07Coming up...
09:08Stay there! Stay there!
09:10Give me some hands! Give me some hands now!
09:12Officers hunt down the runaway rider.
09:15How old are you?
09:1716. Pathetic.
09:20And...
09:21I believe this vehicle's aware of our presence.
09:23More thieves on the run.
09:26He went into the garden and then he's disappeared.
09:29It could be around here somewhere.
09:46You've got the inside, Scott. I'll stay at the back.
09:49After a spate of motorcycle thefts earlier in the day,
09:53officers have been involved in a dangerous air-to-ground pursuit
09:56of a suspected stolen motorbike.
10:05While one officer hunts for two riders who have fled...
10:09So I think it's going to come back to Chad.
10:12I can't see.
10:13It's like Jurassic Park.
10:14They're coming through bushes.
10:15The rest are closing in on a runaway suspect.
10:19Straight ahead of you, Scott.
10:21Straight ahead of you.
10:24Don't believe it would be the creek over there.
10:26Stay there! Stay there!
10:29Give me your hands! Give me your hands now!
10:31Give me your hands!
10:32Give me your hands!
10:35Put your hands back now!
10:36All right.
10:38Put your arms out! Arms out!
10:40Stay still. Don't resist.
10:42And pass, are you monitoring the driver?
10:46I think they've got him.
10:47Just go by.
10:50I'm not resistant.
10:51I'm not resistant.
10:55I'm not resistant.
10:57All right.
10:58Oh, what did he do?
10:59Oh!
11:09Get over here.
11:11PC Andy Swift questions the young lad.
11:15How old are you?
11:16Well?
11:17Sixteen.
11:18Sixteen.
11:18Pathetic.
11:19You should have learnt, shouldn't you?
11:21You should have stopped.
11:23Do your mum and dad know you are?
11:25Yeah?
11:27Come on.
11:28Answer the questions.
11:29No, no, no, no, mate.
11:29I want to go to custody.
11:31I bet you've been there a few times, haven't you?
11:32Yeah.
11:33I bet you have.
11:34Sixteen.
11:34You haven't been told yet?
11:35No.
11:36What's your name, buddy?
11:37You're well told, mate.
11:39What's your name?
11:40I was just taking custody.
11:41No, you're too.
11:42That's what you're known for him.
11:43I'm talking about custody.
11:44Right, you're under the rest of the split.
11:45Then just driving.
11:47Failing to stop.
11:49Okay?
11:50You don't have to say anything, but it may harm you offence.
11:52If you do not mention one question,
11:54something which you later on in court,
11:56anything you say may be given as evidence.
11:58Shit in there for his young man.
12:02All right, Pat.
12:04Is there anyone else standing?
12:06Just waiting there, update as they're trying to pretend one of us.
12:12Oscar Sango 39 receiving.
12:14Got reports of an abandoned motorbike.
12:17We haven't got details of a VRM at the minute.
12:20A couple of miles away.
12:22A motorbike, this was smashed up and dumped.
12:26Traffic cop Adam Hardy is looking for the two bikes that got away.
12:31Round here.
12:36Swifty had it.
12:37Three bikes make off from him.
12:39I imagine this is going to be one of the same.
12:43Whoever was on it is a long gone.
12:46Hello.
12:47Have you seen what's happened?
12:48A local resident comes forward.
12:51The first thing when I heard something bang and I opened the window to look around.
12:57There were three guys.
12:59Two of them were on one motorbike and another one, only one person been here.
13:05And they start shouting at him, just leave it, leave it, leave it.
13:07And he saw me and he just went to them.
13:10He jumped on their scooter.
13:12So there were three of them.
13:14He just left the vehicle here.
13:17The helmet was there and they left that direction.
13:21That's it.
13:21Did they all get on the same bike?
13:22Yeah, on the same bike.
13:25There were three of them.
13:26But you could see these are really young guys.
13:28Like they're kind of teenagers.
13:30They're like three of boys and they're pretty young.
13:34They've clearly lost scale, riding like idiots and gone over the speed bump.
13:41They've left a helmet.
13:43It's going to leave a lot of DNA evidence in that helmet.
13:45So we're going to seize that and get our forensics to have a look at that and we'll be able
13:49to identify who it is.
13:52The registration's missing of the bike.
13:53So I think they've damaged that to obscure the identity of the bike.
13:58So we can't track it from the registration.
14:01There's quite a bit of damage to the ignition that they've had to drill through the ignition
14:07to get the bike to switch on.
14:09I'm suspecting it's going to be stalwart.
14:15Back at the roundabout.
14:19Can you go move?
14:21Make sure it's more damage.
14:23As Andy and Sergeant Scott Riley inspect the runaway rider's bike,
14:28Chris Wells Jackson and Devon Scarborough arrive.
14:32I'll put this back in the boot before it castrates me.
14:37Surrendered.
14:39Good work, mate.
14:39Very good.
14:42What's he done?
14:43Has he tried to...
14:44He tried to right side myself.
14:46He's basically doing himself.
14:47These have been getting nicked all afternoon.
14:49This is what FPT's been chasing around all afternoon.
14:52They saw me and this was when I thought I'm not.
14:54Weather update from an A.
14:56We can confirm now.
14:57We've got a linked incident.
14:58It was stolen.
15:00Checks confirm the bike is one of those stolen earlier today.
15:06Further under arrest and suspicion of theft of motorbike.
15:09Okay?
15:09Remain under caution.
15:11Okay?
15:13We're going to tell us your name then, chaps.
15:15We'll find out when we fingerprint you.
15:16Everything that means we can look after you better.
15:19Okay?
15:20There's no point in trying to be a big man now.
15:22Come on, what's your name?
15:22I'd rather say it custody, mate.
15:25What's the difference there between that and them?
15:27I'm not saying it's not confirmed with you.
15:29Are you wanted?
15:30No, I'm not.
15:31You're missing?
15:32No.
15:32I'm just saying I'm not saying it.
15:33You're clearly going to need an appropriate adult,
15:35so if you tell us now we can get everything ready for you in custody.
15:39Yeah?
15:40We'll get them moving now so they can get you down in custody.
15:45What's your name, chap?
15:47After a check on the police database...
15:49There you go. That's him.
15:50Oh, yes, that's him.
15:52Devon's identified the teenager.
15:54He's on bail at the minute.
15:56Knocked, failed, stopped for police on bikes.
16:00Oh, stealing motorbikes.
16:02Oh, dear.
16:03Mate, you've got bail conditions.
16:05You should be at home between 7pm and 7am.
16:09You should not enter Derbyshire.
16:11And you should not be in a group of two or more.
16:14It looks like someone's getting remanded.
16:15Say again?
16:16There's a couple of streets in Derby.
16:19There's a couple of streets I can't enter.
16:21So you do know you've got bail conditions, then?
16:23You've still broken your bail conditions, aren't you?
16:26But it's exactly the same thing.
16:27So obviously it's not registering with you.
16:30Someone who's so young,
16:32you've obviously been in a lot of trouble.
16:37It's not promising for them.
16:39OK, because you've been involved in a road traffic collision, OK?
16:42I'm going to request you a sample of saliva, OK?
16:45Are you happy to provide me the sample?
16:47Yeah?
16:48OK, lovely stuff.
16:49Stick your tongue out for me.
16:51PC Alex Head tests the rider for drugs.
16:55So it turns out the chap that we've arrested is already clearly well known for theft.
17:01And clearly all he's doing at 16 years old is just out stealing bikes.
17:06That's all he knows.
17:07That's all he's ever going to know.
17:08And I don't think that he'll ever change.
17:10And it's probably going to be his life.
17:12He's hanging around with people that are in that sort of environment
17:15where they just want to go out stealing things all the time.
17:17So I'm not really holding much hope out for the lad, unfortunately.
17:22So we'll see what happens to him.
17:24But the fact that he's got a better condition
17:26should mean that we'll get hopefully some sort of positive result.
17:29Young man!
17:31The result of the drug test is ready.
17:36You are further under arrest for driving a motor vehicle
17:39whilst they have a specified limit of a controlled substance.
17:42In this case, it's cannabis, OK?
17:44So what we're going to do now is go down to the custody wing
17:48and we'll get some bloods from you
17:50and then we'll send them off for analysis
17:51and see how much you're over or under buying, OK?
17:55If you've grown up from when you were 13 or 14,
17:58being in and out of trouble with the police,
18:00and it's still happening,
18:01it's probably a very hard cycle to break out of
18:03and it just becomes part and parcel of your life.
18:05Once you are in that system
18:07and you've got nothing else to lose,
18:09it's a hard downward spiral to get out of.
18:14Theft of bikes and illegal bikes in Derbyshire
18:15is causing us a little bit of pain.
18:19They're inherently difficult to deal with
18:21because the offenders are quite often juveniles
18:24so we've got to be quite respectful about how we deal with them.
18:27So it's really pleasing to get a result.
18:29Find somebody red-handed on a stolen bike like tonight.
18:33After breaking his bail conditions,
18:36the 16-year-old suspect could now be facing a custodial sentence.
18:56It's not just motorcycle thefts keeping the traffic cops under pressure.
19:02In the UK, more than 30 vans are stolen every day,
19:06worth ÂŁ200 million a year.
19:114-3. I'm heading there now.
19:15Near Chesterfield, Alex Head is now searching for a van
19:18that's just been stolen,
19:20along with thousands of pounds worth of tools.
19:25They've stolen van, it's just activated cameras.
19:28Firearms have actually just got behind that vehicle
19:30and they're just following it.
19:32So at the minute, I'm hopefully trying to intercept her
19:34and help put a stop in on this van.
19:36While Alex races to catch up...
19:39That's it.
19:40Yeah.
19:41...firearms officers tail the van.
19:44Standby, standby, standby.
19:47Contact with that vehicle.
19:48It's at the roundabout, on the roundabout.
19:51Taking the fourth, taking the fourth.
19:54Appears to be with another vehicle,
19:56which can't get the red job.
20:00So we're taking that vehicle.
20:02As the van pulls ahead...
20:04I believe this vehicle's aware of our presence.
20:08Officers identify two suspects in the car.
20:30I'm running.
20:31I'm running.
20:32I'm getting my card in.
20:33Whatever happens about.
20:34I'm running.
20:49Anyway, if you get me on mapping,
20:50he's gone behind a house.
20:55Coming up...
20:55Police, come to the door!
20:58As the traffic cops hunt down a runaway suspect...
21:01Do you know anything about a van?
21:03No.
21:03Right, and you don't know anything about tools?
21:05No.
21:06Officers uncover a stash of suspicious items.
21:10Let's have a look.
21:10There must be a lot of equipment here.
21:13And the search is on...
21:15It's absolutely round.
21:17..for a pair of wanted shoplifters.
21:20With go-to items of shop thievery.
21:39I'm running.
21:40I'm running on to the back garden.
21:41Whatever happens about.
21:42It's all right.
21:45Near Chesterfield, officers are on the hunt for a suspect who fled on foot after abandoning
21:50a stolen van, along with thousands of pounds worth of tools.
21:59Back's onto a massive field.
22:01It went into the garden and then it's disappeared.
22:04It could be around here somewhere.
22:11A search of the van is also under way.
22:17But the tools are missing.
22:20I'll meet you there in Bungie.
22:22While the hunt continues, PC Alex Head is looking for more suspects spotted in a car.
22:32We're on the way to the registered keeper's address for the vehicle.
22:37The driver and the vehicle, they're going to get arrested straight away.
22:42And then that gives us the power to search the premises and hopefully find some stolen items.
22:49Just pulling up now.
22:57It's parked up.
23:04An eight-tangle four-three.
23:09Somebody's in.
23:10Lights are on.
23:11The curtains have just been switched.
23:17With the runner from the van still missing.
23:21Blaze, come to the door!
23:24Alex and other officers surround the property.
23:28We've got an answer in the back.
23:32All right, well, at the minute we need to know you let us in.
23:35Do you want to click now?
23:37Your house, we've heard.
23:40Where have you been?
23:44Right, is this your house?
23:46Is that your car?
23:47Yes.
23:47Right, okay, you're under arrest on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle, okay?
23:50You don't have to say anything, but it may harm you defensive.
23:52If you do not mention one question or something which you later on call, anything you do say may be
23:55given as evidence, okay?
23:57Right, do you know anything about a van?
23:59No.
24:00Right, and you don't know anything about tools?
24:01No.
24:01Right, and you don't know anything about a van.
24:02Right.
24:06Right.
24:08Right.
24:12Right.
24:15Right.
24:17Right.
24:19Right.
24:20Right.
24:22Right.
24:23We're just trying to find out where these tools could be.
24:25This vehicle here has been with that van.
24:30The mail is registered to keep this vehicle, so I'm going to just have a look now at this dash
24:35cam
24:37and see whether this shows where this vehicle's been this evening.
24:43Inside the house, officers question the suspect.
24:47Right.
24:48Right.
24:48I've got a dash cam for it.
24:49Right.
24:49Tell them what's gone off and we'll close the suspect.
24:55The man says he hasn't done anything.
24:58Yep.
24:59What do you need to tell them?
25:00He says somebody gave him some stuff to put in his shed, but hasn't stolen the van.
25:07So it is in that top shed where Swifty's got the top shed.
25:12Swifty.
25:13Top shed, mate.
25:15Top shed.
25:17PC Andy Swift assists with the search.
25:20There must be a lot of equipment.
25:23There must be a lot of equipment here.
25:27Officers suspect the thieves have stolen the tools and put them in the man's car before stealing the van itself.
25:35The work in theory so far is they've unloaded all the tools and then the van's been taken.
25:41And he was most likely going to be picking up once they dumped the van.
25:46That's what I think anyway.
25:47But we've got his dash cam as well from his car so hopefully that'll stop giving a bit of a
25:53clearer picture of what's happened.
25:56And the identity of who's actually stolen the van.
26:01So all of these things in here, there's loads of stuff in the boot, there's loads of stuff in the
26:05back seats, thousands and thousands of pounds worth of tools.
26:09This is somebody's business, this is someone's livelihood and tonight they've just decided to steal that person's van and then
26:18steal all his tools as well.
26:19It's just appalling that people think that they can just take other people's stuff and just ruin lives.
26:25It's disgusting to be honest, it's the only word for it.
26:29Millions of pounds worth of tools are stolen from tradespeople every year.
26:35Yeah, we've got them. Yeah, we've got them. Bear with us and we'll meet you at Chesterfield Nick.
26:41As Sergeant Scott Riley arranges to meet the owners of the stolen tools and van, there's more suspicious items.
26:51You've got the wall stuff there, look. There, you've got ladders, you've got these blowers, there.
26:58Oh, well. There's two boxes back there and Christ knows what's on the need.
27:03That's the bill. What is it? It's about easy.
27:07We're going to have to take us all, aren't we? Yeah, there's Mark's there, look.
27:11He's saying it's all his. He's saying it's his. He's saying it's his.
27:16He's saying all this stuff in this shed is his because he's built all this shed.
27:19Well, the MFP's waiting at Chesterfield Police Station, so what I suggest we do is get you off to Chesterfield
27:25Police Station.
27:26With all the stuff. He can start identifying what's his. Yep.
27:31We've got the details. We've got all the items we needed.
27:35The most sensible way going forward is just deal with it. Slow time now.
27:40So we're just going back to Chesterfield now. We're going to go and unload all the stolen items which we
27:45believe will come from the van this evening.
27:47And then we're going to meet the IP there and he's going to identify everything.
27:58What's your trade? With your builders? General builders. Yeah.
28:03The owners of the stolen van and tools arrive.
28:06That's ours.
28:08This stuff.
28:09Pump.
28:10Summersible pump.
28:11Yeah. Summersible pump.
28:13Work lights.
28:15Radio.
28:18Is that your Ox Spirit as well?
28:20That's my Ox Spirit level, yeah.
28:22And then my backhoe one there.
28:24Yeah.
28:25Yeah, and that little Dewalt one.
28:27Did you have a Ox plasterer floaters?
28:30Yeah, that one there.
28:31That's in there somewhere.
28:33Hang on, you've got that.
28:34That's fine.
28:35So how many thousands of pounds are here then?
28:38Probably even four grand.
28:41Two and a half hours to have my van and my tools back is phenomenal.
28:45To take somebody's tools and the livelihood away is just disgusting.
28:49Without the tools, we're nothing.
28:50No chance of making any money.
28:53I'm glad we've brought you back.
28:55Thank you very much for all that jazz.
28:57Is there anything missing?
28:59Not that I can think of, no.
29:00Not that I can think of.
29:02Brilliant. I'd say everything that's worth anything is there.
29:05Brilliant. Good.
29:08Once recovered and examined, the men's van will also be returned.
29:13Really happy for the lads who've got the tools back.
29:15We get jobs like this where we find tools, but it's quite rare to find tools
29:19and then actually be able to give them directly back to the owner that same night.
29:24Ultimately, these tools probably would have gone on a car boot sale or something like that.
29:28Might have got a few hundred quid for them.
29:31But we're talking thousands of pounds worth of tools,
29:35as well as the hundreds of pounds per day that tradesmen lose.
29:39So it just has such a massive impact on people when they steal these types of tools.
29:46It's estimated around ÂŁ80 million worth of potential income is lost each year due to tool theft.
30:00Coming up...
30:01This vehicle's got a marker on it that believes that there's going to be two women in it
30:04who are potentially out thieving from shops.
30:07Alex is on the hunt for wanted shoplifters.
30:10Come and show me where the receipt is then.
30:13No, I can't find it.
30:15As the crackdown on theft continues.
30:18You're under the rest of the suspicion of theft.
30:20Okay, you don't have to say anything, but it may harm you to theft.
30:22You do not mention when questioned something which you laid to land in court.
30:24Anything you do say may be given evidence.
30:40Can we open the shoplifting job, please?
30:44Assign myself to it.
30:46I think 4.7 and 4.6 as well, please.
30:50Just entered Matlock around that area.
30:53Thank you, I'll put you to it. I'm just getting the vehicle details.
30:58Traffic cop Alex Head is on patrol.
31:03There's a car just entered the area which is known to contain two female shoplifters.
31:10It's been sighted elsewhere in the country.
31:12I believe it's probably out on the take at the minute.
31:16So it's a case of just trying to get there on time and trying to intercept them and hopefully catch
31:21them red-handed with some stolen items on them.
31:26With over half a million offences reported last year, shoplifting across England and Wales has reached an all-time high.
31:35Shoplifters can go into a shop, within a few minutes they can take hundreds of pounds worth of items.
31:41Common things which are cleaning products, things like everyday items which cost quite a bit but they can shift quite
31:49quickly.
31:50For career criminals it can be quite lucrative for them.
31:55Alex enters a local retail park.
31:58Yep, that's it.
32:00NA Oscar 10-043.
32:02That vehicle I'm looking for is in the car park at Sainsbury's.
32:06There's only one way in and out of this car park, which is this road here.
32:10So I'll just wait until they come out and see what they've got on them.
32:14Another officer arrives to assist.
32:17Hello.
32:18What is it?
32:19So it's an MG...
32:23MG HS Trophy.
32:24It's like a 4x4.
32:27Motability vehicle.
32:29It's known on niche for three shop thefts.
32:31It's got a low-wap marker on it.
32:33You've got three real groups of shoplifters.
32:36You've got people who might be addicts and they're stealing to feed the habit.
32:40You've got organised crime, they know what they're doing.
32:43But I've also noticed an increase in late 40s, early 50-year-olds.
32:47They don't have a job so we're just going out and they're just taking to stealing,
32:51trying to pay the bills.
32:54NA Tango 4-3.
32:56That vehicle's just moved off.
32:59Now it's a question of where's the best place to pull in?
33:06Alex pulls up alongside the suspect.
33:11Hello there.
33:13Yeah, good, thank you.
33:14You see that car park by that garage?
33:16Do you mind just pulling in there for me?
33:24Whoa!
33:24Whoa!
33:40Right, stay in the car for me two seconds, okay?
33:42So, the reason I've stopped you, okay?
33:44Yeah.
33:44This vehicle's got a marker on it that believes that there will be two women in it
33:47who are potentially out thieving from shops.
33:51Okay?
33:53So, right now, okay, you're going to both be detained, okay, for a stop search.
33:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:59Okay?
34:00Before I do that, is there anything in this vehicle stolen?
34:03Nothing.
34:03Nothing?
34:04No.
34:04Okay.
34:05You take your seat in there.
34:06I'll just take this from you.
34:07Can I have my hand back?
34:08Not at the minute, no, because you've been detained.
34:10Can I get killed then, Rob?
34:11No, well, we'll sort it all out.
34:14With the organised criminals, there's certain stores that they target.
34:16They know what they're going in for.
34:19They know what sells.
34:20They know what their high-ticket items are.
34:23NA Tango 43.
34:25Unsurprisingly, there is a lot of cleaning products in the boot of this car.
34:30This is Stainsbury's stuff.
34:32Absolutely rammed with go-to items of shop thievery.
34:38We've got receipts for all this, yeah?
34:40Yeah.
34:40Alex questions the passenger.
34:42Can I have the receipt, please?
34:43No, she's done it on her phone.
34:45Okay, but you still get a receipt, though, don't you?
34:47Just because you do it on your phone.
34:48No, not me.
34:48I haven't got it.
34:49Okay.
34:52Right, then.
34:54Yeah?
34:54This receipts, where is it all?
34:56She says you've got them.
34:58I'm going to give you the opportunity now to come clean.
35:01Okay?
35:02About where that stuff's all from.
35:04Because to me, that's a boot of a shoplifter.
35:06It's food and everything.
35:08It's after.
35:09What, all the cleaning stuff?
35:11What, cleaning stuff?
35:12You have to clean up as well.
35:13All the dishwasher tablets, all the stuff which, yeah?
35:16Yeah, yeah.
35:17Okay.
35:17I don't believe that.
35:19Come and show me where the receipt is on this.
35:20It's in one bag, though.
35:22In the Sainsbury's bag, because obviously you've all got your Sainsbury's bag for life there.
35:25So come and show me where the receipt is, then.
35:40The amount of times I've been lied to, it's every single shift.
35:49They think we're born yesterday.
35:51They think we don't know how to do our jobs, and they think they can just get away with it.
35:54No, I can't find it.
35:57It's in there somewhere.
35:58Funny that.
35:58Come and take the seat back in my car.
36:00It's all right.
36:01We know straight away.
36:02We can tell for the little tell-tale signs.
36:05Yeah.
36:06Okay.
36:08You're under arrest and suspicion of theft.
36:10Okay, you don't have to say anything, but it may harm an offence.
36:12If you do not mention when questioned something which you lay to line in court, anything you do say may
36:15be given evidence.
36:17We're also going to be seizing your vehicle, okay, as it's been used in crime.
36:20Okay, so you'll have to argue with Motability about why you're using it like this, okay, and potentially they might
36:26not give it your back.
36:26Okay.
36:27Put your seatbelt on for us.
36:29Where am I going?
36:31Ripley.
36:34Another officer arrives to deal with the passenger.
36:38The plan is, I'll get the car lifted.
36:41We'll have it used in crime.
36:43They can go to Sainsbury's.
36:44All that stuff in the boot is Sainsbury's stuff.
36:46I don't know where this stuff is.
36:48There's some M&S knickers and all sorts.
36:51You're under arrest on suspicion of theft.
36:52The necessity for arrest is a prompt and effective investigation,
36:54which basically means we're going to go and look for CCTV.
36:57Okay.
36:58Take a statement from the businesses, which we believe you've stolen from,
37:01and then you'll be interviewed at a later date.
37:03Okay.
37:05Please, if you can just tell them we've got two coming down from Matlock.
37:09There's hundreds of pounds worth of products in that car.
37:13We've got a lot of duplicate items.
37:16These items are quite high-value items like dishwasher tablets.
37:20There's about 10 packs in there, so that's about ÂŁ150 just in dishwasher tablets.
37:24The normal person doesn't go into a shop and purchase 10 packs of dishwasher tablets
37:30or 10 packs of washing tablets, and they're stolen for resale,
37:34so that they can go down the pub, go down somewhere, you know,
37:37with people that they know, and they can offload those products for a cheap price.
37:43The passenger is wanted for other crimes.
37:46So the sergeant has just run the passenger through,
37:49as well as being arrested for the shop thefts.
37:51She's now also been arrested for a theft down in West Mid's area.
37:56So another thing just to add to her custody sheet.
38:01Checks on the driver.
38:02So you are further under arrest on suspicion of theft.
38:07Reveal she's wanted too.
38:09Whereby items at the approximate value of ÂŁ490 have been stolen, OK?
38:15So obviously we've just run this person through PNC.
38:19It shows they were also wanted from a theft early in the year
38:22from a Nike store in Birmingham.
38:24So she's been further arrested for that offence,
38:27and they'll send an officer up to interview her later on.
38:32Both women are being taken to custody.
38:36Where have we lost the arrest?
38:37March. March.
38:38I remember today.
38:39Was that in Knott's?
38:42No.
38:43Where was it?
38:44Skagno.
38:45Skagno?
38:45Yes?
38:47Same thing?
38:48Can you just go for that green door there, please?
38:54We've had it confirmed that the stuff from Sainsbury's was stolen,
38:57over ÂŁ200 worth of items there.
39:00We know that they'll have been recently, to be honest,
39:02so the likelihood is that they'll get remanded for this job.
39:05The car had an Intel marker on it relating to the vehicle being involved in shop thefts.
39:12Then commenced a stop search and found what I believe to be stolen items in the car
39:18from Sainsbury's and then multiple other shops.
39:20She's also wanted by Westmids for a shop theft with an approximate value of ÂŁ490 worth of items being stolen.
39:32What do you do for a living? Do you work?
39:34Good.
39:36When you look at their histories, they're prolific.
39:39They've been in and out of prison quite recently, to be honest,
39:41so the likelihood is that they'll get remanded for this job and sent to court on a Monday
39:47and they'll probably get a custodial sentence again.
39:51With shop thefts, traditionally I think you'd probably associate them with drug users
39:56and trying to score the next fix, but this seems to be like an ongoing trend with people
40:02just wanting either extra money, finding life tough.
40:05When you think about the woman who was driving, a 60-year-old female,
40:10she shouldn't be going to prison.
40:12She should be kicking back and enjoying life, but she is where she is
40:16and she made her life choices.
40:22Shoplifting costs retailers more than ÂŁ2 billion a year.
40:28People say it's a victimless crime because they're big multinationals,
40:31but they're not because when the company decides that they can't take the loss
40:35from that shop anymore, they'll just shut it
40:37and then that's local people who are losing their jobs.
40:43In the last year, over 21,000 thefts were recorded by Derbyshire Police.
40:50Theft type offences are one of my pet peeves.
40:54Ultimately, our goal is to make sure that these people get picked up,
40:59go to prison and aren't able to do it again.
41:03I think it's a tragic reflection on society.
41:06People want what they can't have and if they can't afford it,
41:09they just go out and nick it.
41:14I think the rise in this kind of crime is simply the system so stretched
41:20and if those people were in prison where they should be,
41:23then this level of offending would come down.
41:39The young man on the stolen bike, who led officers on a dangerous pursuit through Derby,
41:44pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicle taking, failing to stop, dangerous driving,
41:49driving without insurance, driving whilst disqualified and breach of bail conditions.
41:54He's due to appear at court for sentencing.
41:57No further action was taken in relation to suspected drug driving
42:00after tests in custody showed he was under the legal limit.
42:04He's on bail at the minute.
42:06Not failed to stop for police on bikes.
42:09Ah, stealing motorbikes.
42:13An investigation to identify the other riders and recover the remaining stolen bike is ongoing.
42:33The suspect who stole a van full of tools and fled on foot after being pursued by officers...
42:38Backs onto a massive field.
42:40It went into the garden and then it's disappeared.
42:44It could be around here somewhere.
42:46...has not yet been identified.
42:49Do you know anything about a van?
42:51No.
42:51Right, and you don't know anything about tools?
42:53No.
42:54Just open the door, don't worry about that.
42:56Let's have a look.
42:57The man suspected of travelling with the stolen van.
43:01Gave voluntary interviews and after further investigation, no action was taken.
43:10To me, that's the boot of a shoplifter.
43:12Absolutely rammed with go-to items of shop thievery.
43:18And the two women...
43:19Got the seats for all this, yeah?
43:22Wanted for shoplifting stopped by Alex.
43:26Can you show me where the seat is on this?
43:28In the Sainsbury's bag, because obviously you've all got your Sainsbury's bag for life there.
43:33...were charged with theft...
43:34No, I can't find it.
43:36...and sent to prison for 39 weeks.
43:43The traffic comps are back new next Friday at eight.
43:47It's England women versus New Zealand,
43:49as international T20 cricket returns to five live tomorrow from two.
43:54And which motorway pit stop will be crowned Britain's best service station?
43:59Be prepared for those summer road trips, brand new Sunday at seven.
44:03Next, Ben Fogel and the Buried City.
44:09...and you can go there.
44:10...he'll be the first time they'll be a Sainsbury's bag and your Sainsbury's bag in the back.
44:10The Sainsbury's bag is still on over, right?
44:10It's also a Sainsbury's bag.
44:10If you have to do this, you're watching the Sainsbury's bag.
44:11If you enjoy this.
