04:53looking for stolen cars it feels right doesn't it we like this all the time catch all the criminals
05:00seize all the stolen cars catch all the drug drivers and just look good doing it
05:08there's a knack in this job of being in the right place at the right time there is over the last
05:18couple of weeks i've found myself in the right place at the right time quite a lot it's akin to
05:25essentially walking into sainsbury's or asda when they're putting the whoopsie stickers on stuff
05:31isn't it i would say that's right place right time
05:39what the hell well he's not hanging about like is he
05:44he's going to cause an accident yeah
05:52i can't go to 10 to 30 i can't credit nothing i've got a vehicle making off lovely hill road
05:56heading towards the general direction of the team valley
05:59it's uh it looks like a sirocco or an a3 t-pack train super vehicle requesting authority for the
06:06pursuit it's just trying to minimize the risk it's quite important that we try and get this to a
06:12safe conclusion excuse me if you're right
06:31dangerous drivers love to gamble
06:34putting everything on red trying to beat a flush
06:45and going all in on the blinds
06:47just leaves them going bust
06:57what the hell
07:03in gateshead jan and jamie are chasing a speeding driver who's failed to stop

11:39just outside your own gear
11:42yeah it should be with you any second
11:48oh
11:49have you been stung having that have we
11:51yeah potential vehicle staying not sure of the case
11:55has it gone
11:58they're all
12:00he's still in the game
12:01it's gone
12:02i'm out
12:04it's time to go 10 58 after we've been stung as well
12:06we're out of the game
12:11it's continuing on there the six nine four

12:18you know two four nine right time to get to win late and nil to get a second
12:22straight ahead
12:24yeah
12:33front off
12:34i'm absolutely fuming
12:37look how raging he is
12:38good drive that really good drive
13:06oh i'm gutted
13:07that was going so well
13:10but
13:12as you can see
13:13completely gone
13:16sometimes with the speeds that we're following these vehicles
13:19it's a fine line where whoever's doing the stinging
13:23then that reactionary time of pulling the stinger away so that we don't get stung as well
13:28unfortunately
13:30i've caught the stinger with the the front offside tyre and
13:34take myself out of the game so i guess i've got nobody else to blame but myself
13:40yeah disappointed but we'll go uh look at it again
13:44it's personal now
13:49it's
13:59it's
14:02It's a bit of fuel for the day.
14:18Definitely more of a night-time person than a morning person.
14:22My wife will tell you,
14:23I've got to have something at the kickstart of the morning.
14:26At Follingsby Police Station in Washington,
14:29PC Tommy Wade has his hands on an arresting mugshot.
14:33It's got the Colin and Bowen.
14:35And then they've kindly said I look like Joe McEldrey, apparently.
14:39I'm not entirely sure I see the resemblance,
14:41but it could be a lot worse, so we'll do it.
14:49Champion.
14:5138-year-old Tommy is a 17-year veteran of the force.
14:55That's the office equipped.
14:57Let's get out there.
14:59See what the deer brings.
15:00And he's got the X factor when it comes to catching criminals.
15:11I did criminology at a university
15:13because there's just always been this sort of, like,
15:16desire to join the police.
15:18And I just thought, well, no-one gets in first time.
15:22So I'll give it a shot.
15:24And I don't know,
15:26there must have been desperate for people
15:27because I've managed to get through first time.
15:40We've just had a hit on the ANPR
15:41to show a white VW Golf.
15:45It's heading into the Sunderland area,
15:47and there's intelligence on it
15:48to suggest that there's multiple people using the vehicle,
15:51none of which are the keeper
15:52and none of which are insured.
15:54The vehicle was recently sighted,
15:56but it's managed to evade being stopped.
15:59And then once it was located,
16:01it was already parked up with whoever was driving
16:03and walked off.
16:04Again, it just adds to the suspicious element.
16:08It could be anything from committing theft,
16:11drug dealing.
16:13There's never normally any good reason
16:14for a load of people using the car.
16:16It obviously carries a risk
16:17that if they're not using it legally,
16:19that they may fail to stop.
16:20So we'll just have to see how it reacts
16:22when it gets near.
16:23Just have a little moresie down
16:35and see what's happening.
16:37You just never know.
16:40Right.
16:41Might be coming down behind.
16:47So we're just looking for a white Gulf.
16:53And there it is.
17:04Nine similator.
17:05I'm two vehicles behind that Gulf
17:09on Chester Road.
17:14It's just turned off before the driver.
17:16Yeah, I think I've got it stopped.
17:23Two seconds.
17:32Hello, mate.
17:33You OK?
17:34Is this your car?
17:36My car's car.
17:37Right.
17:37You've got a license and insurance to drive it.
17:40Right.
17:40We do as a fair, mate.
17:41We just pop out the car for us, please.
17:43Are you ready to just take a seat
17:44in the back of my car for us, please?
17:47If you just take a seat here for us.
17:54So you know what?
17:55Your friend knows you've got it.
17:56It's not like you've taken the car
17:57without them knowing it.
17:58They don't know, yeah.
17:59They don't know.
17:59OK.
18:01I'm banned.
18:03You're banned.
18:03Right.
18:05When were you banned?
18:07Two years ago.
18:08Two years ago.
18:09So when's your ban up then
18:10if it was two years ago?
18:11I don't know.
18:11About over a year left.
18:14Quite a lengthy ban.
18:14What was that for, mate?
18:15The one thing I'll obviously say is
18:19if you've been banned
18:20and it didn't drive.
18:22Yeah, I know.
18:23It was stupid.
18:24It was stupid.
18:24I don't know.
18:25All that'll happen is
18:25you've banned another car extended.
18:27I don't know.
18:27I'm regretting it now, like.
18:31You've been no bother with me
18:32and so that's why
18:34I'm being honest with you, all right?
18:36I do need to know
18:38who owns a car
18:39otherwise I'm going to get back.
18:39I'll tell you that in person
18:41but I'm not going to say nothing now.
18:42I have the right to remain silent
18:43and I'm going to practice my right.
18:46Right.
18:47Who owns a car?
18:48No comment.
18:52Oh, no, mate.
18:55Right.
18:55Take me to the station, mate.
18:56I'm not going to say anything.
18:57I have the right to remain silent.
18:58then I'm going to remain silent.
19:02It's my choice.
19:04You've told me that you're banned
19:05which is fair enough.
19:06If you don't tell us
19:07who owns a car
19:08then all that'll happen
19:09is the car will go
19:10and they'll never get back.
19:14You've been stopped
19:15driving with disqualified.
19:16Yeah.
19:17So it's my intention
19:18to deal with you
19:18for the fences
19:19that we've made out
19:20and then
19:21I'll be sending you on your way.
19:24But, and you know
19:25who's caught it.
19:27So I'm not getting
19:28locked up or not?
19:29No, no.
19:30You're not getting locked up.
19:32So do us a favour
19:33this is the information
19:35I need
19:35so that it can be released
19:36okay?
19:36Just name
19:37and address for them.
19:48So I'll tell you
19:49what happened.
19:50So they come to my house
19:51left their keys
19:51but got one out.
19:53My TVA smashed it last night
19:55and I fell off the table.
19:58Typical.
19:59I just went to buy one
20:00with somebody else
20:01that's all it was.
20:03So that's why you want it.
20:04So you've got the TV
20:05in there now?
20:05Yeah, I mean
20:06I could have walked
20:07like you don't get the bus
20:08there for just public transport
20:09but you know
20:10how am I going to get
20:11a 50-yard TV?
20:12That's all it was.
20:13You know what?
20:14Our advice is always
20:14going to be
20:15don't drive.
20:15I know, I know.
20:16It's so stupid.
20:17It's so stupid.
20:18I thought I'd just
20:18be quick.
20:19If you've got the key
20:20I'll take the key off you.
20:21Just get me
20:22a carry
20:22and I'll get me
20:23a telly
20:23of the jacket.
20:24Yeah, of course you can.
20:25I'll come and get you
20:25out, mate.
20:35I'm not sorry
20:35I'm bound to break this one.
20:37Yeah.
20:37Just pay $2.50
20:38for this one
20:39you know what I mean.
20:40That's not a bad price
20:41for that size
20:41telly though.
20:42And it's a Samsung.
20:46I'm not going to be
20:47nasty and deprive you
20:48of the control as well.
20:49Cheers, pal.
20:52See you later.
21:09At the end of the day
21:10he knows he shouldn't
21:11be driving.
21:12Car uplifted
21:13and the driver reported
21:14so yeah
21:15I'm quite happy with that.
21:19Seems a lot more
21:20bothered about
21:21getting the telly
21:21than he did
21:23the fact that
21:24we're taking
21:24the car off him
21:25which it would be
21:26the least of my worries
21:27but he's getting
21:29his telly out though
21:30so apart from
21:32the fact he's going
21:33to have to explain
21:33why the car's been
21:34uplifted
21:34I'm sure he'll
21:35still have a happy night.
21:49Where we're parked
21:51today
21:51the downside
21:54looking for a police car
21:55in a car park
21:55full of police cars
21:56they all look the same.
21:59You'd think
22:00I'd be searching
22:00away
22:01and know where
22:01they are
22:02but
22:02you keep looking
22:04for the lights
22:04flashing
22:04there it is
22:07and we'll see
22:08what went
22:08and stir up

22:14turning up
22:15the heat
22:15on dodgy drivers.

22:18ahead I think
22:19the first thing
22:19we're going to do
22:20is sort the heat
22:20now because
22:21it's 2 degrees
22:21outside
22:22and somebody's
22:22going to sit
22:23on cold
22:23and freezing
22:24but hey
22:26it's part of the fun
22:27isn't it?
22:37So I just went
22:38to Thailand
22:39we do at times
22:42see some
22:42devastating things
22:43so we do need
22:44a bit of time
22:45to recover.
22:48but then
22:49I went to Thailand
22:50and it rained
22:50and it rained
22:51and it rained
22:51and I got an upset
22:52tummy for three days

26:21because you still haven't
26:22got it fixed
26:22in several weeks later
26:24ok
26:25next thing
26:27you've come down
26:28to the roundabout
26:29and you've sailed
26:30through the lights
26:30the next thing
26:33coming on from that
26:34is your stink
26:36of cannabis
26:36I stink of cannabis
26:42I'm going to require you
26:45to provide me
26:47with a sample of saliva
26:48for drug analysis
26:49have you got any cannabis
26:51on you?
26:51no I haven't
26:52do you use cannabis?
26:53I do
26:53well I did last night
26:55you did last night
26:55the likelihood then
26:57is you're going to test positive
26:58stick your tongue out
27:01and I'll wipe your tongue
27:02I'm not having a good time
27:09I'm having a terrible time
27:11my van's knock on
27:11and everything
27:12but it doesn't mean
27:14I shouldn't be dying
27:14no you shouldn't
27:16last time I stopped you
27:18I let you off
27:18and it turns out
27:19you made me look
27:20a bit of a mug
27:20back then
27:21so the way this test works
27:29takes up to 8 minutes
27:30to give me a reading
27:31and within 2 minutes
27:32it's already tested positive
27:34for cannabis
27:35he's now under arrest
27:37for driving
27:38with a drug concentration
27:39in excess of the specified limit
27:41sorry
27:44my life couldn't get any worse
27:48one thing
27:51that you can think of
27:52is we've stopped you
27:54and nobody's been hurt
27:55you're under the influence
27:56of drugs
27:57from last night
27:58it doesn't matter
27:59you're still driving
28:00is there anything
28:03in the van you need
28:04can I get my phone
28:06and my cord please
28:07I'll get those for you
28:08I can't believe this
28:10I've been a nightmare
28:11this
28:12alright
28:13something from
28:20simply having brake lights out
28:22progressed to
28:23a red light offence
28:24to a positive drug wipe
28:25so these things are worth doing
28:27so these things are worth doing
28:27so these things are worth doing
28:32not very happy when you give people the benefit of the doubt
28:54the opportunity to try and rectify a fault that is potentially dangerous
28:58and they still keep driving around
29:01he hasn't bothered
29:02he's chanced his luck
29:03but then the added fact
29:06is he's tested positive for cannabis on this occasion
29:09so
29:10you know
29:11is that why he's gone through a red light
29:13right in front of a marked police car
29:14is he's driving impaired
29:17it's quite scary
29:18when you think about it
29:19tonight's a fantastic night
29:38clear, blue sky, sun out, summer night
29:41perfect
29:43the sun always encourages people to go out and about
29:46so
29:48just have to find the ones that shouldn't be
29:51in sunny Sunderland
29:53local lad Tommy is showing his true colours
29:56the eldest
29:57send me a gun out of loom bands
29:59so I've got a red and white one
30:02just made a red and white because I'm a sun and supporter
30:06for me sins
30:08this is a new one
30:09that I'm wearing tonight for look
30:11I want a vehicle making a hole
30:12it's a black LDF5 with a red
30:23February
30:24whoa
30:26nine some of the trouble and you can see a little bit
30:32that's a little bit of progress
30:34to get through to that area
30:36That area.
30:42So we're looking for a dark-wired Audi
30:44with a red wing by the sounds of it.
30:49So I'm gonna put one on the Degenerate Road
30:51and then we'll just see if anything catches
30:53my eye from there.
30:57If it's doing an excessive speed as well,
30:59it's gonna cause mass injury, mass damage,
31:03so that's all sort of
31:06in your consideration when you're looking for it.
31:11So we're sort of in the area I know where it was last seen.
31:16Just need to get lucky once.
31:20Jolly, you know, you took enough stones,
31:22you've got to hit a window at some point.
31:27Oh, standby.
31:30Oh, hey.
31:32Here's what with this one.
31:33It's a different Audi.
31:35But let's see what's happening.
31:36970, I'll be.
31:46835, you'll check please, Washington Road.
31:48Just not in a great state, this one.
31:50I mean, it's got a bit of damage.
31:52It seems to think that's stopping after the red lights,
31:56how it's done.
31:57Oh, thank you.
31:58I'm sorry, you'll see.
32:00Thank you, it's Blackali.
32:01Good.
32:02Thank you, it's Blackali.
32:04It is recorded on our system.
32:06Try damage to the rear of the vehicle
32:08on both corners of the bumper.
32:11And...
32:14yeah, I think it doesn't look like it's working.
32:17Gotta check, don't get it stopped.
32:18What's the reason for stopping me?
32:38A few reasons.
32:40When I've turned up behind you and you've been at the red lights, you've been beyond
32:43the red lights?
32:44No, no.
32:45Then, if you put your hazards on first, do us a favour, just pop out of your car so
32:52you can see that it's not working.
32:53Who are you asking me?
32:54Yep, you're the driver.
32:55What is it for?
32:56Call myself down.
32:57No, no, no.
32:58I'm calm down.
32:59I'm just asking a question.
33:00Look at the car.
33:01Yeah, I know.
33:02This is...
33:03Saying you know it's not good enough.
33:04Okay.
33:05There's a reason I haven't repaired.
33:06First of all, this is hit and run.
33:08Right.
33:09There was a police...
33:10What's it called?
33:11Traffic police.
33:12Yeah.
33:13They investigated.
33:14They had to find the driver.
33:15So, I went to insurance.
33:16Insurance not put the wash in the hands of.
33:18So, what shall I do?
33:19Do you want me to pay?
33:20Right.
33:21So, I'm waiting for the police...
33:22Driving a car?
33:23No, no.
33:24Answer my question.
33:25Right.
33:26Do us a favour.
33:27Take a seat in the back of the car.
33:29Okay.
33:30Right.
33:31Is this your car?
33:32No, it's my Max car.
33:33Is your friend in the car with you?
33:34No.
33:35No, no.
33:36I'm...
33:37I'm sure to drive, mate.
33:38Have you still got the deals of that Audi on?
33:40You should have checked all this before you're pulling me over, mate.
33:43Right.
33:44Don't start telling us how to do my job.
33:46Mate, I'm not telling you.
33:47I'm just telling you my opinion.
33:48I'm not telling you.
33:49Better than I'm out.
33:50Out here is six black.
33:51There's nothing I've started for them in the minute.
33:53When I'm just going home, you're just pulling me just because my indicator is not working.
33:58Come on.
33:59Police...
34:00The guy was crushed into my car.
34:01Police doesn't...
34:02Well, putting their hands up...
34:03Right.
34:04The only thing that's important here is that car...
34:05Listen.
34:06Listen.
34:07Take a minute and listen.
34:09You're driving a car that isn't working with the indicator.
34:13So, what I am going to say to you is, take that car, take it back home, and it doesn't
34:18...
34:19Listen.
34:20It doesn't move until that's fixed.
34:21That car, seeing mobile again, will be prohibited.
34:25What that means is, the police will come down, and they will put a marker on that car to
34:29stop it being driven anywhere.
34:31I appreciate that you've got reasons for it.
34:33However, it doesn't change your fact.
34:35You're driving a car that's...
34:36It's not road legal.
34:37Your indicator doesn't work.
34:38It's just the indicator broke.
34:39It's just the indicator...
34:40No, no.
34:41That's not a just.
34:42The indicator's on there for the crack.
34:43It's a legal requirement for the indicator to work, and the indicator's not working.
34:47You're going to get the car home, and not drive.
34:49Listen, listen, get the car home.
34:50I do understand.
34:51Do you understand?
34:52Do you understand what I'm saying about your car?
34:54Yes.
34:55Yes, I do understand.
34:56I do really appreciate that.
34:57Brilliant.
34:58I'll get that fixed tomorrow.
34:59Excellent.
35:00Great, okay.
35:01Have a nice night.
35:02See you later now.
35:03See you later.
35:04See you later.
35:05See you later.
35:06You just never know who you're going to come with.
35:07See you later.
35:08You just never know who you're going to come across.
35:09And how receptive they are going to be.
35:10to being stopped.
35:11See you later.
35:12at least.
35:30You just never know who you're going to come across and how receptive they are going to
35:39be to being stopped by the police.
35:42Apparently, telling people which way you're going to turn on the road or what your actions
35:47are going to be is no requirement.
35:52It's exhausting, absolutely exhausting.
36:07So I'm back to waiting for this Audi.
36:14It's 3am in Newcastle and Jan and Jamie are sharing top tips for a winning night shift.
36:41Do you know the secret to night shift, I think, like not sleeping through, is if you need
36:47a wee, because we're all weeding about the same time, aren't we?
36:5011 o'clock.
36:51Hang on.
36:52It's like, go to the toilet with your eyes closed.
36:56City down wee, limit the water intake, go into bed, and don't open your eyes at any point.
37:03As soon as you open your eyes or check the clock, it's game over, you're up.
37:07What if you fall down the stairs?
37:10You're going to leave out the bottom of the stairs.
37:15Come behind us.
37:20What about this is?
37:28so this vehicle in front of us just doing about 50 in a 30 mile an hour zone
37:40and this might have potential this
37:43and he's just climbing up the curve there
37:50he's been on the wrong side of the road a couple of times
37:56i don't know if it's been stolen or he's drunk or something like that
38:00driving's very reckless
38:04spice up your life on britain's roads
38:21as wannabe racers think they're some kind of superstar
38:26stop right now or two become one
38:31whoa and when you slam your brakes down expect a zigzag
38:37so this vehicle in front of us just uh doing about 50 in a 30 mile an hour zone
38:52and he's just climbing up the curve there
38:55in gateshead jan and jamie are tailing a dangerous truck driver
39:01he's been in the wrong side of the road a couple of times
39:09don't know if it's been stolen or he's drunk or something like that
39:14driving's very reckless
39:19motorway cops know that shocking driving is often a sign of more serious offenses
39:26an illegal driver is causing chaos on the roads of sheffield
39:36as south yorkshire police try and catch up
39:38the suspect barrels through red lights
39:42over the central reservation and onto the wrong side of the road
39:48speeding headfirst into oncoming traffic
39:52more units force the driver off the road
39:56pinning the car against the wall
39:59but he's having none of it
40:01using the weight of the 4x4
40:04he rams his way free
40:06as the cops close in
40:11he heads down a narrow lane
40:15but loses control
40:17bringing the pursuit
40:19crashing to an end
