00:00This is Police Interceptors, and you're riding with the pride of Northamptonshire.
00:12Ace pursuit drivers, with air support, and a crack dog unit.
00:28They bring down the bad guys, keep the streets safe, and battle 24-7 in the war on crime.
00:55It's done, it's done, it's done, it's done.
00:58A runaway driver runs out of rubber.
01:02Get out of the car, get out of the car!
01:06Enter the wrecking crew, and a painful date, with this charming man.
01:17Oh my god, I hate being spat at, it winds me up.
01:20It's the early hours of Monday, and Keith and Charlie are theorising about which cars are dodgy, and which aren't.
01:48Everybody has different picks of cars they think are dodgy.
01:52Like mine, there's always 3 series BMWs, and VWs, but not Golf.
02:02When news comes in about a suspected uninsured VW.
02:06There's a VW Golf, it's black.
02:08That flies in the face of Keith's Golf theory.
02:12Mate, we've just pulled onto St Andrews at Spencer Bridge Road, not too far behind ya.
02:18A traffic car's tailing the Golf as Keith and Charlie move to cut it off.
02:22Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down, it's gonna be a right hander, there.
02:27And as they overtake the traffic car, and get behind the suspected uninsured driver.
02:32It's going, yeah I've got a funny feeling it might go.
02:35Keith's Golf's aren't dodgy theory looks increasingly shaky.
02:40I'm gonna try it now, he's gonna go, mate.
02:43The driver's ignoring blue lights, and it looks like he's no intention of stopping.
02:50Keith makes a tactical switcheroo with the TPAC train traffic unit.
02:54Which is now all over the Golf.
03:02With 2 on his tail, this guy's really moving.
03:10The runaway's sailing through red lights in a built up area, and pulling into oncoming traffic.
03:25On the wrong side of the road, he's taking big risks for just a no insurance job.
03:33But behind, in the lead car, Charlie's eagle eyes have spotted signs that he may have other reasons to run.
03:40Grab that.
03:44Something's been thrown from the target car.
03:47Golf's. Golf's. Golf's, yep.
03:51Black gloves lobbed by the passenger, found that under suspicious.
03:56I think it was left here, wasn't it? I lost him.
04:00The traffic cop is sticking to the Golf as it circles an estate the wrong way, heading back towards Keith and Charlie.
04:08Yeah, it's the wrong way round Cliff Tower. There's no traffic, it's still Whedon Road.
04:12Go, go, go, go, go, go.
04:14It's a three car convoy.
04:16Lift off, essentially, I'm going to come back out onto Whedon Road.
04:21Doing laps of the estate.
04:23We're back onto the roundabout, where Cliff Tower is, at Sunseye.
04:30And we're back towards Whedon Road, it's coming out on Whedon Road.
04:34Left, left, left.
04:36The driver's led them a merry dance, but his quick step might be slowing.
04:40Damage on the rear leg roll.
04:42Because he's clipped a kerb and lost a dancing shoe.
04:45I think he's hit a kerb, I think he's got flat.
04:48And with the music about to stop...
04:53Someone's thrown more gloves and a balaclava from the passenger window.
04:57More gloves. More gloves.
04:59Whedon. Where are you?
05:00It's going to be more than one half, isn't it?
05:02The final shimmy at the RA.
05:06And this is the last dance.
05:08He's done, he's done, he's done, he's done.
05:18Get ready for a runner, mate.
05:21Time to face the music.
05:27Get out of the car! Get out of the car!
05:29Get out of the car!
05:31Get on the floor!
05:33Get on the floor, now!
05:35The driver's out...
05:36Get your hands on your back!
05:38..and soon in cuffs.
05:40You're under arrest on suspicion of dangerous drive.
05:43Do not have to say anything to me, mate.
05:45I'm your offence.
05:47Anything you do say may be given evidence.
05:49There's still a car full.
05:51There's another three in there, mate.
05:53Get out. Get out.
05:55What are we nicking them for?
05:56Get out.
05:57You're under arrest on suspicion of...
05:59You don't have to say anything to me.
06:01Anything you do say may be given evidence.
06:03As we've been chasing, we've had a couple of bits thrown out the windows.
06:07Balaclavas and stuff.
06:09It's like a balaclava on gloves.
06:11We picked up a couple of bits en route as well.
06:14Given the ditching of gloves and ballies,
06:16they're suspected of going equipped for burglary.
06:19They're up to no good, stuff that's been coming out the windows.
06:22Where are you from?
06:24I'm from London.
06:26London.
06:27This one says he's not going to give details.
06:29When I get to custody, I'll tell them my name.
06:31No, I'm fine.
06:33How about you?
06:35Quiet for London boys.
06:38But the whispering London boys do find their voices
06:41to moan about the weather this far north.
06:43I'm cold, freezing.
06:45I'm cold as well. It's in my bones, though.
06:48You shouldn't have thrown your gloves and balaclavas out the window, then.
06:52No further action was taken regarding suspicions of going equipped,
06:56but the runaway golf driver was convicted of dangerous driving.
07:01The court handed him an eight-month suspended sentence,
07:04100 hours unpaid work and 20 days of rehab.
07:09He was also ordered to pay charges of £187
07:12and lost his licence for 12 months.
07:22Police! Police! Stay where you are!
07:25Coming up...
07:27The grass is greener on the other side of the door.
07:30The downstairs grey room is the best one
07:33and I am going to say they are one metre high.
07:38A wheel away from a watery grave...
07:41The back of it was actually hanging over into the lake on Rushmere Road.
07:45And then the back of the van.
07:47..and nicking drink drivers with a knife.
07:49And nicking drink drivers with a clear conscience.
07:52Do you sleep at night? Yeah, I do, yeah, like a baby.
08:12It's early doors at Rushton Nick.
08:15Glass-fronted door with a nice little garage to the left.
08:20And Sergeant Goodwin is doing her best impression of an estate agent.
08:25Semi-detached.
08:27Talking up a suburban semi with unique selling points.
08:30The address may have booby traps, trip wires, concealed pits,
08:34electrification of door handles.
08:36Sounds well worth a viewing.
08:38We believe it is going to be a cannabis factory.
08:42Cannabis factories are a serious problem in the UK.
08:47More than half a million plants were seized in the last year alone.
08:52Two minutes.
08:54And the Sarge is leading a raid to see some more.
09:01We believe that potentially there may well be someone inside the property now.
09:05So hopefully it will be a good day and a good result.
09:08Safety goggles on in case of flying glass.
09:14And they follow the entry team to break some.
09:21But this door's a tough cookie.
09:25Tough enough to require the passing of a 16-kilo battle.
09:30Police! Police! Stay where you are!
09:32There's a man inside.
09:34Stay there! Stay there!
09:35You're on the move! Stay there!
09:37Walk towards me.
09:39Very slowly. Very slowly. Walk towards me.
09:44Can we put some...
09:45Keep walking. Keep walking.
09:47Oh, he's been knocked up.
09:48Stay where you are. Don't go any closer.
09:50Put your hands behind your back.
09:53At this moment in time, you're under arrest on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis.
09:56You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
09:58if you do not mention when questioned, something you later rely on in court.
10:01Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
10:05Do you understand?
10:08What nationality are you?
10:09Albanian.
10:10Albanian? OK.
10:11My friend, is there anyone else on the property?
10:13OK.
10:14I'm going to call the police.
10:16I'm going to call the police.
10:18I'm going to call the police.
10:20He's on the property.
10:21OK.
10:22He says not, but...
10:26Take it steady. Sit on the chair, yeah?
10:28After packing him off to custody...
10:30All right?
10:31Don't do anything silly.
10:33..the entry team is taking no chances.
10:37Officers, rotator, show yourself!
10:40Clear.
10:41With no estate agent to give them the tour,
10:43they check out the property room by room.
10:46Police officer, rotator, no-one move.
10:49There are no other suspects inside.
10:52Officer, rotator, show yourself!
10:54But it's decorated with indoor plants.
10:57And all mod cons.
11:02The downstairs grow room is the best one,
11:05and I am going to say they are one metre high.
11:10And we've got four grow rooms, three upstairs and then one downstairs,
11:15so a really, really good result.
11:17Approximately about 80 plants,
11:19which roughly will translate into about £30,000 worth of street value cannabis.
11:25And this set-up comes at a high price to the owner of the house.
11:30This is a rented property for the landlord.
11:32It's going to run into thousands,
11:34if not, I'd say, probably about £10,000 to repair.
11:37You have got...
11:39Not only have you got fans and wiring hanging down,
11:42you've got tubes that have been drilled
11:44and holes that have been cut out the ceiling to go straight upstairs.
11:47If the water's been leaking, that will cause damage to the floor,
11:50it will cause damp, plus as well the electricity will be cut off,
11:53so the owner of the property will be liable to pay for reconnection
11:57because the road will be dug up, it will be completely cut off at source.
12:01So it's a very, very costly result for the landlord.
12:07Forensics give the factory the full treatment.
12:09But once they're done, and the dust has settled...
12:15..it's time to shut this operation down for good.
12:24We are now in the process of dismantling the cannabis factory.
12:33We just make sure it's to a point where it can't be used again,
12:37so I need the transformers.
12:39We just literally get a pickaxe and put it through them.
12:45Some of this stuff is bypassing electric meters.
12:48There's a massive fire hazard.
12:53In one month, the team raided 21 suspected weed factories
12:56and seized 5,000 plants, and they'd no plans to slow down.
13:03But with this kit rendered useless and the crop off to be burned,
13:06it's mission accomplished for today.
13:09Wonderful. Nice work.
13:15Around 110 plants worth north of £100,000 were seized and destroyed,
13:20and the suspect nicked in the property pleaded guilty
13:23to producing a Class B drug.
13:26The court ordered him to pay £187 surcharge
13:29and sent him down for 12 months at His Majesty's pleasure.
13:35While he does his time, Sergeant Goodwin and Suburbia
13:38can celebrate a job well done.
13:41I'm really chuffed, and the neighbours are already outside
13:45thanking us for our hard work.
13:48All ready for the team from DIY SOS.
13:59You in public? Swear in.
14:01Interceptors are used to facing abuse.
14:04That's my...
14:05But there's one thing no-one wants hurled in their direction.
14:10He spat at the wall, and he said he'll do it in my face.
14:16Spitting, I think, is probably the worst assault we're subject to.
14:20I've been spat at in the mouth, and it was a horrendous feeling,
14:24having to go to the doctors the next morning.
14:26Thankfully, the person who spat at me didn't have any infectious diseases.
14:30It does play on your mind, certainly, when something like that happens.
14:33It's probably echoed by a lot of cops,
14:35where we'd much rather be punched, we'd much rather be kicked
14:38than spat at.
14:39Yeah, spit is just vile.
14:59That's copied. Are they still in the vehicle?
15:03It's Sunday morning, and Radio Interceptor
15:05has a weekend classic for Tania and Paul.
15:08Paul, I've a...
15:10..drink driver...
15:13..in the town centre, a dark-blue vehicle.
15:15I think we may have it on CCTV.
15:19It's prime time for drink drivers,
15:21and this one has also been caught on camera taking nitrous oxide,
15:25aka laughing gas.
15:27Those nitrous oxide things are classy now, aren't they?
15:30Are they? Yes.
15:33Paul's been on the force for 16 years,
15:35but this is his first shift since the government reclassified nitrous oxide.
15:42The laws just changed.
15:44Laughing gas is now a Class C drug, which is no joke.
15:49Parked up...
15:50Have you got anybody in it?
15:52Thank you. Yeah.
15:55..with their suspect at the wheel.
16:03Hello, sir. You all right?
16:05Yeah, I'm fine.
16:06I'm fine.
16:07I'm fine.
16:09I'm fine.
16:10I'm fine.
16:11I'm fine.
16:12I'm fine.
16:13I'm fine.
16:14I'm fine.
16:15I'm fine.
16:16I'm fine.
16:17You all right?
16:18Hello.
16:19Hello.
16:20We've had a report that you're...
16:23Oh, hello.
16:24Are you getting out?
16:25Yes.
16:26Where's your keys?
16:27Oh, it's just...
16:28OK.
16:29Do me a favour.
16:30At this moment in time, put your hands out.
16:32I'm armed.
16:33At this moment in time, listen.
16:34Listen to me.
16:35Listen, I'm about to tell you.
16:36At this moment in time,
16:37you are detained for a Section 23 misuse of drugs act search.
16:41The grounds for my search is that I have recently received
16:45You have been inhaling what I believe to be nitrous oxide,
16:47which is a Class C drug.
16:49Officer.
16:50Listen to me first, and then we'll have this conversation.
16:52No, OK.
16:53Listen to me.
16:54Listen to me.
16:55The objection of my search is to search you
16:58and try and locate those drugs.
17:00You are entitled to a copy of...
17:02I haven't finished.
17:03No, but you're talking...
17:04You are entitled to a copy of this search.
17:06Am I under arrest?
17:07No, you're detained for the purpose of the search.
17:09OK.
17:10Keep your hands where they are.
17:11Please, there's no discrimination in front of me.
17:14I'm going to tell you to stop.
17:16Are you discriminating...
17:17No, we're doing our job.
17:19OK, so what have I done wrong?
17:23Officer!
17:24Watch yourself.
17:25Officer!
17:26Watch yourself.
17:27Officer!
17:28Watch yourself.
17:29Officer!
17:30Leave him alone.
17:31What have I done wrong?
17:32His mates arrive to calm him down.
17:34What have I done wrong?
17:36What have I done wrong?
17:37He's got a camera in front of me!
17:40In front of me!
17:41Calm down.
17:42OK, but she's got handcuffs on me.
17:46Calm down.
17:47Calm down.
17:48What's the matter?
17:49I've explained to this gentleman
17:51that he has been detained under Section 23
17:53of the Ministers' Jobs Act.
17:55OK?
17:56What does that mean?
17:57Stop shouting.
17:58No, it's Greek underlayment.
18:00I don't understand what you mean.
18:02Tweenie!
18:03Tweenie!
18:04Your situation will never get better
18:06if you do what you're doing.
18:07Yeah?
18:08Just cooperate.
18:10The newcomer's a model of common sense.
18:12I'll be here watching.
18:13Have I committed an offence?
18:16I believe you have, yeah.
18:17Because it's been seen on CCTV
18:19and people have called us
18:21to say your manner of driving is not very good
18:24and that you may have Class C drugs in this car.
18:27We've explained that to you already.
18:29Tweenie, let them search the car.
18:30If you don't have anything, you'll be fine.
18:32Please, let them search the car.
18:34Yeah?
18:35Can you step a bit further away from them?
18:37What's your name?
18:38We've been through this already.
18:39AC129.
18:40Have you got anything on you you shouldn't have?
18:42What's that?
18:43Like the nitrous oxide canisters.
18:45No.
18:46But in the car?
18:47There's nitrous oxide canisters in here.
18:50Yeah.
18:51I wasn't doing them.
18:52Well, CCTV suggested you were.
18:54I'm going to search you, OK?
18:56He's up and down,
18:57consistent with someone influenced by drink or drugs.
19:01Trust me, brother.
19:02Calm down.
19:03This is just discrimination.
19:04No, it's not.
19:05It's just discrimination.
19:06It's us doing our job.
19:07Tweenie.
19:08Working on Tweenie.
19:09He's got...
19:10OK, you're trying to criminalise me.
19:11Tweenie.
19:12Because people have been doing business in this car.
19:15Yeah, yeah.
19:16If it's not you, they'll see it, Tweenie.
19:18His mates' valiant efforts to keep the peace
19:20are having less and less effect.
19:23These dogs!
19:24Hang on, Tweenie.
19:25You animals!
19:26You're going to get yourself arrested.
19:27You've criminalised me.
19:28Tweenie.
19:29You've outdone me.
19:30You've outdone me.
19:31Tweenie.
19:32Why?
19:33Tweenie.
19:34You see what you're doing now?
19:35Yeah?
19:36You're making a crime.
19:37Let me...
19:38No!
19:39No, Tweenie.
19:40I'm not even...
19:41I'm not even...
19:42You are detained.
19:43You are detained.
19:44You are.
19:45Let them do their job, Tweenie.
19:46They just want to search.
19:47You get it?
19:48But if you keep on arguing with them,
19:49you're causing...
19:50So, they search this vehicle,
19:51and they find weed,
19:52or they find drugs,
19:53or they find alcohol.
19:54They'll do a drug test.
19:55They'll do a drug test.
19:56We're going to find all of that, then, aren't we?
19:57Yeah.
19:58If they find it,
19:59the dog...
20:00Oh, my God.
20:01You really need to stop now.
20:02Shut up.
20:03You really need to stop.
20:05Tweenie, please, brother.
20:06I'm sorry.
20:07Yeah?
20:08He's lucky not to be in a van bound for the nick,
20:09and he owes his mate a big favour.
20:11I haven't...
20:12Stop it.
20:13Discrimination.
20:14Stop it.
20:15You've got to...
20:16Listen to your friend.
20:17I would strongly recommend...
20:18We've been drinking, right?
20:19Sorry?
20:20He does smell strongly of alcohol.
20:21OK.
20:22I've been...
20:23I smell what?
20:24Strongly of alcohol.
20:25Tweenie, I'll...
20:26Talk to you tomorrow.
20:27I can't shake...
20:28I need you to put your hands up.
20:29I can't shake his hand.
20:34Let them do what they want to do.
20:35Yes, sir.
20:36If you...
20:37Another mate's arrived and wants the full SP.
20:39Hello.
20:40Hello.
20:41What's he done?
20:42I can't tell you.
20:43That is over the age of 18.
20:44Oh!
20:45If he wants to tell you that, he can.
20:46What have you done?
20:47I've...
20:48Jordan, what have I done?
20:49I've sat in a car.
20:50What have you been searched for?
20:51What have I been searched for?
20:52Stop shouting at me.
20:53That's the question.
20:54Don't escalate yourself now
20:55cos you've got friends around you.
20:56OK.
20:57What's your question?
20:58Are you happy to...
20:59Am I being criminalised?
21:00Are you happy?
21:01Why are you criminalising me?
21:02Are you happy for me to explain to this...?
21:03OK.
21:04OK.
21:05OK.
21:06OK.
21:07OK.
21:08I have to ask him first.
21:09Wait a moment.
21:10This is getting out of hand.
21:11Can all of you just stop?
21:12Let me ask him a question.
21:13I'm not resisting.
21:14Yeah, but I don't have to tell you.
21:15I'm not resisting.
21:16I'm asking him if I can...
21:17Stop it.
21:18If I can explain to you...
21:19Stop it.
21:20I'm not resisting.
21:21Right, are you happy for me to explain...
21:22I'm not resisting.
21:23Stop it.
21:24Move.
21:25Don't move, man.
21:26Relax.
21:27Are you happy for me to explain to your friend here
21:28while you've been stopped?
21:29Don't do that.
21:30Relax.
21:31Relax.
21:32Are you happy for me to explain to that gentleman there
21:33while you've been stopped?
21:34Explain to him.
21:35Are you happy?
21:36OK.
21:37So the reason for his search is that he has been seen
21:38on CCTV to be inhaling nitrous oxide,
21:39which is a Class E drug.
21:40OK?
21:41That's it.
21:42The gas, the balloon...
21:43But whilst driving a vehicle,
21:44you've got to understand...
21:45I haven't driven this vehicle.
21:46He has been driving.
21:47I haven't driven this vehicle.
21:48OK.
21:49I'm not going to have the argument.
21:50Why are you lying?
21:51You've lied.
21:52You've lied.
21:53You've lied.
21:54You've lied.
21:55You've lied.
21:56You've lied.
21:57You've lied.
21:58You've lied.
21:59You've lied.
22:00You've lied.
22:01Let's get him breathalysing.
22:02Guys!
22:03Yeah?
22:04Why have I...
22:05I haven't driven this vehicle.
22:06Reports suggest he has,
22:07and despite ongoing efforts to keep him calm...
22:10Listen to me, yeah?
22:11Just relax.
22:12Just relax.
22:13..in his cuffs,
22:14he still doesn't know when to keep strong.
22:16You're a hypocrite and you're a hypocrite.
22:18Really?
22:19Yeah.
22:20Really.
22:21You know that.
22:22Oh, yeah.
22:23Give me a kiss.
22:24Bless me.
22:25Don't do dumb shit.
22:26What's wrong with you?
22:27You're an adult, bro.
22:28You're not a kid.
22:29Stop talking.
22:30You don't need to talk.
22:31Just shut up.
22:32Yeah?
22:33End of.
22:34It's done.
22:35While wiser heads work to keep their mate in check,
22:36the cops collect evidence.
22:39Can you take the balloon as well, then, please?
22:41Balloons sometimes used for inhaling nitrous
22:43and two cans of the stuff.
22:45Yeah?
22:46Two of them.
22:47At this moment in time,
22:48you are under arrest for possession of a Class C drug.
22:50Can I tie my shirt?
22:51My colleague will tie your shirt.
22:53Black people don't have those rights.
22:55Don't come at me.
22:56You racist bastard!
22:58Relax, bro.
22:59Relax.
23:00What are you doing?
23:01Tony is showing superhuman patience.
23:03No.
23:04He can say these things.
23:05They've got me.
23:07We're not doing that.
23:08We're not doing that.
23:09We're not doing that.
23:10What's wrong with you, man?
23:11You're not what?
23:12We're not doing that.
23:13Twin.
23:14Twin.
23:15I can't even go to water.
23:16Relax, bro.
23:17Relax.
23:18Who's talking to you?
23:19Who's talking to you right now?
23:20Don't do that.
23:21Don't do that, bro.
23:22Don't embarrass me like that, please.
23:23I'm sorry.
23:24I'm sorry.
23:25Yeah?
23:26Don't do that.
23:28You're not trying to do it?
23:29They're trying to criminalise me.
23:30I'm talking to you.
23:31They're not talking to you.
23:32I'm talking to you.
23:33Now, I need you to listen, yeah?
23:34Bro, you're not...
23:35You're not...
23:36You're not...
23:37You're a grown man.
23:38You're over 25.
23:39You're not...
23:40You're not...
23:41You're not 18, bro.
23:42You're not 16.
23:43Don't say anything you don't need to say.
23:44Don't do anything you don't need to do.
23:45Just listen.
23:46And that's it.
23:47Yeah?
23:48Hats off to his mates.
23:49But now he's on his own.
23:50Can I get in the car?
23:51I'm going to suggest you get in the car.
23:54OK, guys.
23:55What's the...
23:56OK, can I ask you a question?
23:57I'll ask you a question.
23:58Can you get in the car?
23:59You guys are arresting me under...
24:00Get in the car.
24:01Get in the car.
24:02The van has arrived.
24:03Oh, even better.
24:04You are getting in the back of the van.
24:05I'm getting in the back of the van.
24:06You are, yeah.
24:07Do you sleep at night?
24:08Yeah, I do.
24:09Yeah, like a baby.
24:10Are you sure?
24:11Are you sure you sleep at night?
24:12Yeah.
24:13Sweet.
24:14Come on.
24:15The cops have been more than patient.
24:16But after he just spat in Tanya's face,
24:17his mates can't help it now.
24:18Oh, my God.
24:19Oh, my God.
24:20Oh, my God.
24:21Oh, my God.
24:22Oh, my God.
24:23Oh, my God.
24:25Oh, my God.
24:26Oh, my God.
24:41I have recently received intelligence to suggest
24:43that you have been inhaling what I believe to be nitrous oxide,
24:47which is a class C drug.
24:49Interceptors have nicked a suspected drink driver
24:51who may also have used nitrous.
24:53You're a hypocrite, and you're a hypocrite.
24:55Despite his mate's best efforts to keep things calm...
24:58Now, I need you to listen, yeah?
24:59Bro, you're not, you're not, you're not, you're not...
25:02You're a grown man.
25:03You're over 25.
25:04The suspect has pushed...
25:06Give me a kiss.
25:07Just look.
25:08...and pushed...
25:09Racist bastard!
25:11...and pushed too far.
25:13Swim!
25:13Oh, my God.
25:15...spitting straight in Tanya's face.
25:17Right, you are further under arrest for assault.
25:19Police, you do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense.
25:21Police, you do not mention, when questioned,
25:23something which you later on in court, and if you do say,
25:26may be given in evidence.
25:27What, can I spit at you?
25:28Stop spitting!
25:29Can I spit at you?
25:30You will have a hood on if you spit again.
25:32Have we got a spirit?
25:33Yeah.
25:34He spat in her face again.
25:35Disgusting.
25:40OK.
25:43I hate being spat at.
25:44It winds me up.
25:45Oh, 100%.
25:47It's mates...
25:48He's just spat in her face.
25:50...are also unimpressed.
25:52He's stupid, honestly, I promise you.
25:54He needs to serve some time, like,
25:55don't get him out to her at least, like, Tuesday.
25:58Thanks for trying to help us.
25:59Yeah, thank you.
26:00Enjoy your pizza.
26:02It's like, you didn't do it, he did it,
26:04so you ain't got to apologize for him.
26:06Honestly, I don't know how you...
26:07I don't know how you punched him.
26:08I walked away.
26:09I punched him in the face.
26:10I was like, do you mind if I just punch him?
26:11You should have slapped him.
26:12You should have punched him.
26:13I'd rather be punched than spat at, to be fair.
26:14But thanks very much, guys.
26:18Tanya may have handled it like a pro,
26:20but this was a traumatic assault.
26:23I've got some guy's spit in my hair and on my eye.
26:33And back at the niche,
26:34she wants nothing more to do with the gobby driver.
26:37You like to assist with booking him in?
26:39Oh, absolutely.
26:40I don't think he likes me.
26:42I require a specimen of breath
26:44because you're in charge of a motor vehicle
26:45whilst I believe you've been drinking.
26:48To protect the cops,
26:49the suspect's been placed in a spit hood.
26:51Well, you shouldn't have spat at people, should you?
26:53Come on!
26:54Which needs to be lifted to carry out a breath test.
26:57Take a deep breath and blow into the tube
26:59until I tell you to stop.
27:00No, blow into it.
27:01Blow into it.
27:02That's sucking into it.
27:03Sorry.
27:04Right, that's your second chance.
27:05I'm first sucking.
27:08No, you're not blowing.
27:11Keep going.
27:12Sorry.
27:13Sorry, sorry, sorry.
27:14No, you actually provided.
27:15Have I?
27:16Yeah, you've done it.
27:17Ooh, happy days, mate.
27:19The drivers provided a sample,
27:20but before they replaced the hood...
27:24Did you just spit at me again?
27:25Oh, come on, I didn't spit at you, man.
27:27What, so you're right up in my face
27:29and then that's up my head?
27:30I said give me a kiss.
27:31Oh, you failed.
27:3263.
27:33You're further arrested
27:34for drunk in charge of a motor vehicle,
27:3620 past five.
27:37He'd do well to shut up,
27:39but instead he's accusing Paul of planting saliva.
27:42Did you spit in your fingers and then accuse me of it?
27:45You're ridiculous.
27:46And his ridiculous arguments did him no favours down the line.
27:51Because after withdrawing the charge of possession of Class C,
27:54the court accepted Gobby's guilty plea for drink driving
27:57and two counts of assaulting a police officer.
28:02He was disqualified from driving for 12 months
28:05and handed a two-year community order.
28:12But it'll take a lot longer than that
28:14for Tanya to forget tonight.
28:16I would rather be punched in the face than be spat at.
28:20Yeah, I...
28:22No, I'm raging.
28:24But, you know, still smiling here I am.
28:28Thanks.
28:46Not many drivers get away from the interceptors.
28:52But occasionally, one gives them the slip.
28:57Yeah, it's a loss, a complete loss at the minute.
29:08It's a damp autumnal evening.
29:13And an armed response vehicle is trying to keep up
29:16with a runaway Mercedes.
29:19We are a big four-wheel boat.
29:21We've got a vehicle making off at sea.
29:23The Merc just overtook the unmarked ARV and blew a red light.
29:40Multiple units, including Ian, bomber Bayliss,
29:43are racing in to intercept.
29:46It's really got its clock down. I'm going for it.
29:50It really has.
29:51In fact, the Merc's so fast that the ARV's lost sight of it.
30:05The runaway's done a disappearing act.
30:11And they only have half a registration.
30:15It's way out there.
30:19While control checks ANPR cameras, interceptors comb the area.
30:27We're just going to go and have a look, see if we can get away.
30:30As well as bomber, dog handler Lucy Schoolthorpe is in the hunt.
30:39But after 20 minutes, neither cops nor cameras have located the runaway.
30:44However...
30:4863.
30:50Two hours of number crunching later,
30:53and the boffins at control have come up with a full registration,
30:57plus the address of a registered keeper.
31:00That car comes back to this street,
31:03which...
31:05I'm just going to have a little look and see if I can find it.
31:10And if I can...
31:13we'll have it away.
31:15I'm not actually expecting it to be here, to be honest.
31:23Bomber's instincts are bang on.
31:26No sign of the Mercedes.
31:30Unsurprisingly, no reply.
31:32Nor its driver.
31:35Looks like this is the one that got away.
31:40Until...
31:44The Mercedes AMG that made off from us.
31:48A fresh sighting.
31:55It's just failed to stop again for a different ARV.
31:59And they've again lost sight of it, just because of the speed it was travelling.
32:03So, we're just going to plot it up with stingers and stuff,
32:07and going to have another look for it now and see if we can find it again.
32:10Lucy sets the dog van to hustle.
32:13And heads for the area where the Merc was last seen.
32:19So, this is where it's failed to stop.
32:21Channeling her inner detective...
32:24Has it gone down there?
32:26The interceptor decides to investigate some mud on the road.
32:32Leaving German shepherd Bryn in the boot.
32:35As a dog handler, Lucy knows she can rely on her partner's superhuman tracking skills.
32:40But she also knows when to trust her instincts.
32:46And they tell her...
32:48Time is of the essence.
32:51Dose one seven, I've got that vehicle.
32:54It's crashed, rush me a ride.
32:56Come here!
32:58I've got it.
33:00I've got it.
33:01It's crashed, rush me a ride.
33:03Come here!
33:05Come here!
33:07I'll be with you in two, Lucy.
33:09There's a Merc in the lake, and a lad in the woods.
33:12So, my phone's in the car.
33:14Right, OK.
33:16Come here.
33:18No, you're under arrest at the minute.
33:20For what?
33:22Because we think that vehicle's just failed to stop.
33:24Really?
33:26Yeah. Will you phone away?
33:28Hold on, let me just see.
33:29Don't worry, you won't be injured.
33:31I won't...
33:36Have you phoned off?
33:38I have, I have, don't worry.
33:40Put it in your pocket. Is your friend alright?
33:42Yeah, my girlfriend.
33:44Your girlfriend?
33:46Someone tried overtaking us and we bumped off.
33:48That's why I'm on the phone.
33:50He reckons another car forced them off the road.
33:52Can you not see the car?
33:54Yeah, I can see it, mate, yeah.
33:56Exactly.
33:57I haven't failed to stop, though.
33:59Right, I think you have.
34:01A Golf R just overtook and I had to take a...
34:03Stop talking, OK?
34:05What do you mean?
34:07Because we've been looking for this car.
34:09For what car?
34:11For this car.
34:13Why this particular car?
34:15Because it failed to stop for police.
34:17That's fine.
34:19But how did that stop for police, in what sense?
34:21Just follow us down, mate.
34:23I've got one in kerfs.
34:25Turn to your right.
34:27I'll check her in a minute.
34:29I've got some other officers right here.
34:31Look how close my car's into the water.
34:33Right, mate.
34:35There's a girl in the car.
34:37Can you make sure my girlfriend's OK?
34:39The cavalry checks on his passenger...
34:41Are you hurt?
34:43No, I'm fine.
34:45...who remarkably isn't injured either.
34:47You're in a lake, isn't it?
34:49And the lady of the lake is soon on solid ground.
34:52The vehicle's left the road, gone a considerable distance.
34:55The back of it was actually hanging over into the lake on Rushmere Road.
35:00The driver's out.
35:02They need to be sure that no-one else needs help.
35:05Was it just the two of you in there, was it?
35:07Obviously.
35:09Well, it's not obvious, is it?
35:11How do I know there's not somebody else in the back?
35:13I literally just rang 911.
35:15That's fine.
35:17But how do I know?
35:19Yeah, but you're saying the same car, Hull.
35:21I took this corner and I got by.
35:22I don't need the information that we've got at the time, all right?
35:25That's all I'm telling you.
35:27We don't need anyone else to tell us anything at the minute.
35:29He's sticking to his story that a gulf forced him off the road.
35:33But the cops suspect alcohol had more to do with it.
35:36I'm doing a respiratory breath test.
35:38This way, come with me.
35:42Wonderful.
35:44While Rob deals with the driver's breath test...
35:46Where am I going?
35:48Lucy's left wrangling his girlfriend.
35:50Wait, don't just walk out in the road.
35:53I can see what I'm doing. I'm OK.
35:55Who's proving a bit of a handful.
35:57Where is he?
35:59You're not going to speak to him.
36:01Why?
36:03No, you're not going to speak to him because he's under arrest.
36:05Please do not manhandle me. I've done nothing wrong.
36:07Please do as you're told, then, and don't go and speak to him.
36:09You don't need to manhandle me.
36:11You're trying to walk through me.
36:13I want to vape.
36:15You can vape standing there.
36:17I want to vape in space.
36:18Don't walk out in the road, for goodness sake.
36:21Lucy arranges transport for the uncooperative passenger.
36:25We just need a vehicle to get this female away.
36:28Meanwhile, the driver is also refusing to play ball.
36:31Are you willing to provide me with a specimen of breath?
36:33I don't consent.
36:35So that's a no?
36:37No consent.
36:39So that's a no?
36:41You're now further under arrest for failing to provide a specimen of breath.
36:43The driver's been nicked for failing to provide.
36:45He's also failing to control his attitude.
36:48Why are you twisting the cuffs?
36:50Why are you twisting the cuffs?
36:52I'm not twisting the cuffs.
36:54You are. Look how I'm twisting the cuffs.
36:56Taxi to get her in Nick.
36:58He'll go down to custody.
37:00He'll get given another opportunity to provide either breath or blood.
37:02If he fails that, he'll face prosecution for that, separate from everything else.
37:05But he might not be the only one bound for custody.
37:08Cancel that.
37:10She might be getting arrested now.
37:12There's a suspicion the merc might be stolen.
37:14It's easier to have to say it to him than to have him answer too much of my questions.
37:18Matt just said to her whose car it is and she was like, I don't know.
37:21And now they've both been arrested.
37:23Him for failing to stop and dangerous driving initially.
37:26And she's just been arrested for theft of a motor vehicle because she's saying she doesn't know whose car it is.
37:30So at the minute we're not sure whether they've got permission to be in it.
37:34So we'll find out in the morning I'm sure.
37:36In the morning the interceptors found out that the semi-submerged merc wasn't stolen.
37:41And no further action was taken against the passenger who was guilty only of being uncooperative.
37:47No further action was taken against the driver for failing to stop or dangerous driving.
37:52However, he pleaded guilty to fail to provide, driving whilst disqualified and without insurance.
37:58He got an eight week suspended sentence, lost his license for a further four years.
38:03He got an eight week suspended sentence, lost his license for a further 40 months and had to pay £239 in charges.
38:12Though it could have been far worse.
38:15His driving's been terrible and he's lucky he's not killed himself and his girlfriend.
38:18Because where the car is, is pretty close to a body of water as well.
38:22And it could have been a different story, especially if we'd not found it.
38:25Coming up.
38:27Beckett's Park, Beckett's Park along the canal path.
38:30When you do the park run.
38:32Can I borrow your bike? Can I borrow your bike? Thank you.
38:36You sometimes need a little boost.
38:39I'm on a bike, I'm in pursuit.
38:55They'll be in the stick already.
38:58Interceptors aren't always up for a chase.
39:01Whether on four wheels.
39:03Vehicle's failing to stop, vehicle's failing to stop.
39:08Or two legs.
39:10I see one towards Harrodham Road.
39:15But with a seven kilo kit handicap.
39:18It's a loss, loss of the minute.
39:20It's a losing battle when a bad driver is on the run.
39:23It's a losing battle when a bad guy has a head start.
39:34It's nearly lunch time.
39:36And a 999 calls reported a possible drug deal in Northampton town centre.
39:42594, I'm in position, I'm going to be on foot at the alleyway at the back of Pure Jim.
39:47I'll stay out of sight until other officers are in place.
39:49Lewis Marks is one of a team of cops who are busy surrounding the area.
39:59And he takes up position at a potential escape route.
40:04It's all quiet on the North Hans front until...
40:10Word comes in that the suspect clocked the cops and legged it.
40:15So it's back to the van to try and cut him off.
40:19I thought he went this way.
40:23The runaway is heading for the park.
40:25We'll go to Beckett's Park.
40:27Which is, unfortunately for the cops, pedestrianised.
40:32We'll take Bedford Road, Beckett's Park.
40:35Lewis hammers the van to block the park entrance.
40:39There he is.
40:41They're on the suspect's tail.
40:43We're behind him in the van.
40:45But they may be too late.
40:46He's in.
40:48Beckett's Park, Beckett's Park, along the canal path.
40:51Because their guy has reached the park and has two advantages over Lewis.
40:57A massive head start.
40:59And a bike.
41:01Go, go, go.
41:04Let me borrow your bike, let me borrow your bike.
41:07But interceptors don't give up that easily.
41:10And with a loan from the public.
41:12Up there, up there.
41:13Up there, up there.
41:15Lewis is burning rubber in pursuit.
41:18Go across Beckett's Park towards Beckett's Road.
41:22Go left, left, back towards Vicky Frog.
41:26He's at the top of Beckett's Park.
41:30Lewis is a fan of Hot Fuzz and the Blues Brothers.
41:33And this chase wouldn't look out of place in either.
41:39He's also a Civil War re-enactor.
41:43And as he drops his steed into second, the Cavalier Copper...
41:47...is making ground on his foe.
41:50Vicky Prom, towards Martians.
41:53I'm on a bike, I'm in pursuit.
41:56Who's now out of the park, on an adjacent pavement,
41:59unaware of the mounted cavalryman galloping from the trees nearby.
42:07As he nears the park exit, Lewis is on a collision course for the oblivious dealer.
42:14He's out of the park.
42:18Across the road.
42:20And bang on target.
42:33He's struggling.
42:39But gives up at last.
42:41But gives up at last.
42:46And here comes the cavalry.
42:50There goes the cavalry.
42:55Finally, the second wave rolls in and the suspected dealer is nicked.
43:03Leaving the search to the late show, Wonder Wheels can catch his breath.
43:11594.
43:13Yeah, I've rammed him off his bike.
43:15He's been detained for a section 23.
43:18The search will determine if this was all worth it.
43:21In the meantime...
43:24I'm just going to get this back to the bloke I borrowed it from, alright?
43:28Wonder Wheels rides again.
43:34The search of the scene turned up a large quantity of cash and phones
43:37with messages relating to drug supply.
43:40But, disappointingly, no drugs.
43:43However, a CT scan of the suspect revealed a kinder egg
43:47plugged where you wouldn't want to eat it
43:50and containing multiple wraps of heroin and crack.
43:54The cyclist pleaded guilty to possession with intent to supply
43:58and was banged up for three years and eight months.
44:02All thanks to Sergeant Wonder Wheels.
44:08Mate, I caught him.
44:10Wouldn't have caught him without your help.
44:12Really appreciate that, alright?
44:14Cheers.
44:37Yeah.
