0:00:02 > 0:00:06This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10- '13 million motoring offences every year.'- He's gone through a wall, and it's taken out a power cable.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12More than 200,000 crashes and accidents.
0:00:15 > 0:00:20The nation's traffic police patrol across 250,000 miles of road.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Tonight:
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Whoa!
0:00:27 > 0:00:32Yorkshire's traffic police chasing fugitives and runaways.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- Ready?- Ready.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Guys, this is now a fail to stop.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39He did his best, didn't he?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- But his best wasn't good enough. - Detecting.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Nondescript terraced house, but the inside is a drugs factory.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51And putting the brake on Yorkshire's criminals and illegal motorists.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56And a new way police are collecting official evidence - on head cams.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Get that camera out of my face now.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Recording the action as the traffic cops see it happen.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06From a police officer's point of view, exactly what you
0:01:06 > 0:01:09see on the head cam is exactly what we are seeing in real life.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- 'Chases caught on camera.'- Get off!
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- 'And arrests.' - Someone's always watching.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20It is a game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Officers from the Yorkshire and the Humber Regional Roads Crime Team
0:01:36 > 0:01:41- have stopped a car in a drugs - hot spot. I'm PC Sanderson.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43This is PC Micklethwaite.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Everything you say and do is being video-recorded.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50We've been informed there's a vehicle in this area linked to
0:01:50 > 0:01:52drug dealing.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Looking into the vehicle, in the centre console,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58you could see there was quite a large amount of cash in the vehicle,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02which makes you start wondering, why is there this amount of cash?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Lads, just listen in. How much money is there?
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Just to let you know, this is a hot spot for drug dealing.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18You can see from the head cam footage that the passenger is very,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21very nervous. Do you just want to jump out?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Have you got anything in your pockets? Can you stand over here?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28The information what we've got is that the lad in the passenger
0:02:28 > 0:02:30seat is a known drug user.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Just to be aware,
0:02:32 > 0:02:38the passenger is currently on licence for burglary and drugs offences.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39If he gets caught with anything,
0:02:39 > 0:02:43he is going to be going back to prison, so he hasn't got owt to lose.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45It ups the ante. If there are drugs in the vehicle.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48He doesn't want to get arrested for it,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50because potentially he's going back to prison.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53More than a quarter of offenders commit at least two or more crimes
0:02:53 > 0:02:56within a year of release from jail.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Once we've got him out of the vehicle,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I've checked the glove box and foot well.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03And then I've checked down inside of the seat.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And that's where I've pulled the small package out.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I suspected it to be a class A controlled drug.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Put your hands up, fellow.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14You are both under arrest for possession of a class A
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- controlled drug.- Jump out, we will give you a quick search.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22At the police station, no further action was taken against the driver.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25On the passenger, the cops found eight deals of heroin,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and he was sent to jail for 18 months.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Since the Regional Roads Crime Team was set up in 2008,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36drug seizures in Yorkshire and Humberside
0:03:36 > 0:03:40have risen by nearly a quarter to more than 16,000 last year.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Normally, the people we target are into drug supply, drug use.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46It blights people's lives.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. 7:30pm.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57PCs Matt Fleming and Wayne Sanderson
0:03:57 > 0:03:59are in one of the team's unmarked cars.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05A bit of a slow day in Huddersfield, just scouting about, really.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Your average street, town centre, just happened to look right,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11to be honest.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It immediately stood out, this BMW.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18The in-car computer is linked directly to the police national
0:04:18 > 0:04:23database, which holds intelligence on cars and their owners.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25COMPUTER: Attention.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26See, we've got a marker on it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32There was police information on the vehicle linking it to drugs
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and drug supply.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38As soon as we got behind the car, a very strong smell of cannabis.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Our senses were starting to get heightened,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43trying to see who was in the vehicle.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46He's got some power if he goes.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53A vehicle like this is one that could cause us some problems
0:04:53 > 0:04:57if it did fail to stop, because it's a high-performance vehicle.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Guys, is there anybody in Huddersfield town centre?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03A drugs marker, smell of cannabis, likely to fail to stop.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Is there anyone nearby, please?
0:05:09 > 0:05:14We do work best as a pack, so we tried to get units towards us,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16just in case it did fail to stop.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Just looking to get it stopped as soon as possible.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I had that gut feeling the vehicle was going to go.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Get ready.- Ready.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43SIREN
0:05:46 > 0:05:49He's had plenty of time to know that we were there.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51There's a car behind him, blue lights, sirens on.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Guys, this is now a fail to stop.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Surprisingly, he did come to a stop within a fairly short distance.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I positioned the car in front of it to reduce that risk of it
0:06:05 > 0:06:07continuing on its way.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Open the door.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- Open the door. Right, turn the engine off.- You scared me, man.- Scared you?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19When he opened the door, I was quite shocked to see there was
0:06:19 > 0:06:22a two-year-old girl sat in the front passenger seat.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24You think, you're driving like that,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27you have got your two-year-old daughter in the car,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29and you're driving like a complete and utter idiot.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I can smell cannabis from the vehicle.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Is there any drugs on you?- No.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38With a child in the passenger seat, the cops proceed with caution.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Are you known to us at all?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44What are you known to us for? All sorts? Recent?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Days, weeks, months, years?
0:06:50 > 0:06:51What was the offence?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Drugs? Cannabis?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59There is a smell in the car.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01If there is a bag or owt like that,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04then obviously you should be telling us now.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10- It smells of cannabis in the car. - The man has £325 on him.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13We've got him on suspicion of money-laundering,
0:07:13 > 0:07:16possession of criminal property.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20At the end of the day, it's only £300, but the fact he's got £300
0:07:20 > 0:07:22he can't really account for, and also,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26the little bit of intelligence we already hold on this particular
0:07:26 > 0:07:28person, it is the whole package that led me to make the arrest.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Do we do it here or take him in? - They're coming to us.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- We'll take him back. - Take me back where?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- More than likely the police station. - What for?- For a strip search.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I can't strip you here, man.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46He doesn't want to go back to the police station for strip search,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48and again, he's pleading with us,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51he'll say, I'll strip off at the side of the road. We can't do that.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55We can't allow people to get undressed at the side of the road.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Back-up has arrived to look after the suspect's child.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04You got your little one here, so we are going to make sure
0:08:04 > 0:08:07she's safe and well. She's going to stay in the car with an officer.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10An officer will drive this. We'll all go down to the police station.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12We'll search you and we'll go from there.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15She's not got a child seat in this car, which is obviously an offence.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17We've not got child seats in our car,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20so we will have to deal with it the easiest way we can.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22The car's not been searched at all yet.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27He was placed in handcuffs
0:08:27 > 0:08:31and taken in for the search at the police station.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Hello. Daddy's in the other car behind us.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Unfortunately, she will have to come with us as well.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41We can't let anybody know that he has been stopped
0:08:41 > 0:08:43and is going to be searched.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44If we contact somebody and say, can you come
0:08:44 > 0:08:48and pick his daughter up, they could get rid of property.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Such as drugs, cash or mobile phones.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56While his child is looked after by other officers,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Matt and Wayne want to search the man.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00We are always hoping to find something,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03because if we do, that gives us the next step to actually go on
0:09:03 > 0:09:06and do house searches and get into these people's properties
0:09:06 > 0:09:10and get into their lifestyle and see how they live.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14He will remain in custody while the cops continue their investigation.
0:09:21 > 0:09:2515 miles north in Bradford, 9:30pm.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30PCs Paul Feather and Lee Welbourne from the
0:09:30 > 0:09:34West Yorkshire Police Road Crime Team are patrolling a crime hot spot.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37We are down Harrogate Road in Bradford.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40You get a lot of stolen vehicles coming through this area,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44so it is a good place to have a hunt about.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Outside London, Yorkshire has one of the highest rates of car
0:09:47 > 0:09:50crime in the UK.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53In 2012, there were more than 4,000 cars reported
0:09:53 > 0:09:55stolen in the West Yorkshire area.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Ford Focus entered the roundabout a little bit quickly.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I looked across, the driver didn't really want to pay much
0:10:05 > 0:10:08attention to us, because we were in the marked police vehicle.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I always find that a little bit suspicious
0:10:10 > 0:10:12when people don't look at you.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Not hanging about, is he?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22He's going.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Initially, there was no reason to suspect it wouldn't pull over,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30and we went for a routine stop.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35But it's continued, and then started to accelerate away.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37It all started from there.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40We've got a silver Focus possibly making off
0:10:40 > 0:10:41on Moorside Road.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45He's already sort of driving dangerously, and it's only been
0:10:45 > 0:10:49running a matter of seconds, so it is quite clear he wants to get away.
0:10:49 > 0:10:54Silver focus, Foxtrot Hotel five six
0:10:54 > 0:10:56November Echo Juliet.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58It's done a right, right, right.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07He's thrown some drugs out.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Yes, now Pollard Lane. It's just discarded some packages in the road.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Pollard Lane.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16He's a desperate man to get away from the police for whatever
0:11:16 > 0:11:20reason, and the reason, we believed, is that he'd thrown out some drugs.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Speed six zero miles an hour, traffic still light.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27The risks of chasing offenders are high.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31An average of five accidents a day occur during police pursuits.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37It is a constant assessment made by me as the driver
0:11:37 > 0:11:40and also my colleague who's giving the commentary.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43So if it gets to a point where we think it is dangerous,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45we abort the pursuit, because it's not worth
0:11:45 > 0:11:50putting ourselves, the suspects or anybody else at risk.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Approaching junction, stand by.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Through red lights. Stand by.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59They're not bothered, are they?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01They want to get away from us.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Travelling at 60mph on busy roads,
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- the cops have to be alert to sudden dangers.- Whoa!
0:12:10 > 0:12:14That car driver's pulled out, unaware of what's happening.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I think Paul's done well to avoid a collision.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Approaching a junction. Stand by.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23It's gone straight across, straight across.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Norman Avenue.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Speed six zero miles per hour.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Even though we are not directly behind him, still his intention
0:12:32 > 0:12:35is getting away, and that's where they make their mistakes.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38He's crashed!
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Vehicle's crashed. Vehicle's crashed.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Your first thoughts are that somebody's seriously hurt,
0:12:47 > 0:12:48maybe even worse.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52The driver is trapped inside his car.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54SIREN BLARES
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Switch those off.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59To watch it flip up in the air and then over on its roof is quite...
0:13:01 > 0:13:04It's not the nicest thing to see.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Suspect vehicle has crashed.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10It's on its roof. Can we have fire service and ambulance, please?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Norman Avenue.- Keep your legs still.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Although he's turned his car upside down, the driver isn't badly hurt.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24His seat belt has saved him from more serious injuries.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Hang on. You're all right. You're all right, aren't you?
0:13:32 > 0:13:36He's trapped in his seat belt, and obviously we want to get him
0:13:36 > 0:13:40out of the vehicle. The reason being, some cars do set on fire.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43It only takes a minute to safely get him out of the car.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49We've got a walking wounded male driver who's failed to stop.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It will need supervision just to attend the scene.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Lift your head up.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Sit down.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Let me have a look at your nose.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06He's hit his face, more than likely when the airbags deployed.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Obviously, he's given it a good old crack.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Just lift it back a bit.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Yeah, you've got a bit of a bust nose, haven't you?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Luckily, this time, there are no life-threatening injuries.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19So Paul begins to question him.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Is it your car?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Your wife's car.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29He did his best, didn't he?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31But his best wasn't good enough.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36That's the difference between us and them.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41We are a bit more safer and obviously we're trained to a level
0:14:41 > 0:14:45where we should be able to drive, fingers crossed.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54This is one of life's valuable lessons you've just learnt.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55The car isn't stolen,
0:14:55 > 0:15:00so for Paul and Lee the question is why he was so desperate to get away?
0:15:07 > 0:15:11In Huddersfield, the search of the man arrested with his child
0:15:11 > 0:15:14has revealed no drugs on him or in the car.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20I honestly thought we'd go into that cell and something would drop
0:15:20 > 0:15:23to the floor, and we'd have our arrest, straight and simple.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I was faced with a bit of a judgment call, really.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Do I potentially go a little bit further?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32You've been arrested so we can speak to you.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34His arrest means the cops can keep him detained
0:15:34 > 0:15:37and search any properties linked to him.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41We can make an arrest on suspicion of money-laundering,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44on suspicion of drug dealing.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Did some research and found several addresses
0:15:47 > 0:15:49that this guy was linked to.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Whilst we were in the holding area,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55colleagues are making enquiries in relation to connected addresses.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Two miles away, a search team arrive at a house linked to him.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04An address where he's registered on the electoral roll.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08The team is wearing head cams.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Behind the door, they make a remarkable discovery.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19The head cams are useful -
0:16:19 > 0:16:21what's potentially hard to say in words
0:16:21 > 0:16:25is easily put across in a very short amount of time in video.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32There are up to 70 cannabis plants.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Police estimate a farm on this scale can generate an annual turnover
0:16:37 > 0:16:39of up to £100,000.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42It's a sophisticated set up,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45using some high-powered lighting and air conditioning.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50There was definitely a smile, hearing on the earpiece
0:16:50 > 0:16:53that a cannabis factory had been found.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Downstairs, the cops have detained a man living at the address.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Everything that you say and do is being recorded.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04I've got a power under section 18 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act
0:17:04 > 0:17:06to search your premises...
0:17:06 > 0:17:09for a gentleman that's been locked up, so...
0:17:11 > 0:17:15..he's on the electoral roll as being registered at this address.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18It gives us the power to obviously search this premises.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23I'm going to arrest you on suspicion of production of cannabis, all right?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you don't mention
0:17:26 > 0:17:29when questioned something which you'll later rely on in court.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Anything you do say may be given in evidence.- Yeah.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Do you understand everything that I've said to you there?
0:17:34 > 0:17:35- Yeah.- Marvellous.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38It becomes clear that the man they have at the police station
0:17:38 > 0:17:40no longer lives there,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42and has nothing to do with the cannabis farm.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45So many people are going to get hurt through something
0:17:45 > 0:17:47that's never harmed anyone.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Kids, adults, children alike,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52police wasting money on shit that really doesn't matter.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57When there's paedophiles and murderers and rapists out there,
0:17:57 > 0:18:01and you come and arrest the flower-growing hippy.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03'Ultimately, you know, what can he say?'
0:18:03 > 0:18:06It's in his house, it's in his bedroom.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10You know, it's in his downstairs hallway, under his stairs,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13so there's not a lot he can say, really, is there?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Other than, "Yeah, it's mine."
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Home-grown cannabis production has more than doubled
0:18:18 > 0:18:20in the last five years.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25In 2012, nearly 8,000 cannabis farms were found by police.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27It's more organised than it was before,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30by either using intimidation tactics
0:18:30 > 0:18:33or by paying people to make use of space in terraced houses.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36It's going to make it difficult for us to find.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Cannabis cultivation on this scale can carry a prison sentence
0:18:40 > 0:18:41of up to seven years.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Back at the police station, because there is no evidence against him,
0:18:46 > 0:18:50the man arrested earlier with his child is free to go.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53And they've arranged for his daughter to be dropped home.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57At the end of the day, we've got a duty of care to her,
0:18:57 > 0:19:00but we've also got a duty to detect and investigate crime,
0:19:00 > 0:19:01so it's balancing that.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04You OK?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06'But again, bearing in mind it is a two-year-old kid,'
0:19:06 > 0:19:09and we need to do something with her and keep her safe as a priority.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14It's PC Fleming from West Yorkshire Police,
0:19:14 > 0:19:15nothing to worry about at all.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19So we've made several calls to try and get the two-year-old back to her mum.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Is that your mummy?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23But when we did manage to track the mum down,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25it was quite an emotional reunion, really.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Oh, there we go, big girl.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- She's fine.- She's had a McDonald's and she's safe and well.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35You know you've got a job to do at the end of the day
0:19:35 > 0:19:39and, unfortunately, there's a child involved in this instance.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Nothing's happened to her this evening, she's not been involved in any way.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45'She was never put in any danger or exposed to anything'
0:19:45 > 0:19:47what she shouldn't have been exposed to.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52With the child reunited with her mother,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54and her father released without charge...
0:19:57 > 0:20:01..Matt and Wayne can begin to help with a new investigation,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04the search of the cannabis farm.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06You got any gloves?
0:20:06 > 0:20:07In fact, I've got some.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Could have been any house, anywhere.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Certainly no smell of cannabis...as you walked through that front door.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I almost thought we'd got the wrong house.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Can't get down.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Nice one.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26This was utter elation, to be honest.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30We've got at least 50-70 plants in the late stages of growth
0:20:30 > 0:20:32sat in a bedroom in the average house.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34It's bunting on the fencing outside.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37It's a nondescript terraced house
0:20:37 > 0:20:39and inside is a drugs factory.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42It's a cracking result
0:20:42 > 0:20:46and hopefully has a significant impact on that area.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52In another room there's evidence that he could be selling it.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Some more cannabis.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Obviously there's the grow upstairs but this looks like what
0:20:56 > 0:21:00he's harvested and it's all individually bagged up, ready to go.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Evidence of his scales to weigh it out and more clear plastic bags...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09..to put it in.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I think when I first joined, you expect to fix
0:21:13 > 0:21:15the world in a day, if I'm honest.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18You think you go out there and everything can be sorted
0:21:18 > 0:21:20and you can go home happy.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23In reality, it doesn't work like that.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26It's almost keeping a lid on what's out there
0:21:26 > 0:21:28which is what I'm here to do.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33A closer inspection of some of the bags at the police station
0:21:33 > 0:21:37reveals further proof the suspect is dealing drugs in the area.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Obviously, when we've done the house search
0:21:41 > 0:21:43what we've got is
0:21:43 > 0:21:46a black carrier bag from the kitchen.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50And in that it's got a large bag
0:21:50 > 0:21:53containing cannabis buds.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55There's quite a lot in there.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57We've got a set of scales.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02We've got some dealer bags.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05We've also got some...
0:22:08 > 0:22:11..resin, as you can see.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14It's not very often you get hold of the resin, these days.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16We've also got these.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21They're basically the ends of rubber gloves.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24They cut the fingers off and they've sealed them up in there,
0:22:24 > 0:22:28so they can either swallow them or put them
0:22:28 > 0:22:30in other orifices of the body.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32A fantastic job really, to be fair.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38In Bradford, the driver who failed to stop
0:22:38 > 0:22:40and then crashed his wife's car...
0:22:40 > 0:22:42He's crashed, he's crashed.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44GROANING
0:22:44 > 0:22:46..is going to hospital as a precaution.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50People get thrown from vehicles and that occurs
0:22:50 > 0:22:53when people don't wear the seat belts.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Whether you can say to his credit he had his seat belt on
0:22:56 > 0:22:59and that's probably what saved him having more serious injuries
0:22:59 > 0:23:02that he could've sustained, if not been killed.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07That's the line of trajectory.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09He's come straight over here,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12nosedived in and flicked onto the roof.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14A lucky, lucky man.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Although he's off to hospital, it will be under police supervision.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Can I just tell him before you do your stuff?
0:23:22 > 0:23:23You're going to be under arrest.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27One for failing to stop for the police and dangerous driving.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31You're under caution. You don't have to say anything, but it may harm the defence...
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I think he did learn a valuable lesson from that.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I'm sure when he went out in the vehicle
0:23:35 > 0:23:38he wasn't expecting to be involved in that sort of incident
0:23:38 > 0:23:42and end up in hospital and then in the cells.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Before he goes, the cops want to run one last check.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Before you disappear, is he fit to do a breathalyser?
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Yes, course.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55If you get it, he's all right to do it. He can, yeah.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57If we don't do this sort of thing at the roadside,
0:23:57 > 0:24:01then we have to go through a different procedure at the hospital
0:24:01 > 0:24:03where we have to take blood,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05so it's always handy if we can get permission.
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Take a deep breath and blow down that tube until I tell you to stop.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Harder. Keep going, keep going, that'll do.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Zero.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21He managed to pass that with flying colours.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Cheers, mate, thanks.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Any sort of incident involving a pursuit where
0:24:27 > 0:24:30there's a collision and somebody's injured, it's classed as
0:24:30 > 0:24:32a police-injury collision,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36therefore usually a supervisor will attend the scene.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- How old are you?- 44.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42HE COUGHS 21.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44HE LAUGHS
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Everybody gets breathalysed,
0:24:46 > 0:24:47me included.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Pass.- Zero.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59It's standard procedure just to say I've been breathalysed
0:24:59 > 0:25:01and there's no issues.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Chasing criminals in cars is often risky.
0:25:05 > 0:25:1025 deaths occurred during police pursuits in 2012.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I'd say that's a total write-off by the look of that.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I think Lee's run it through
0:25:17 > 0:25:20and it's coming back no insurance on it as well, so...
0:25:21 > 0:25:25It doesn't help these people here who've had their wall damaged
0:25:25 > 0:25:27and the car damaged as a result of his driving,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30plus the council for the lamp post.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33He's going to be getting a big bill, isn't he?
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The driver will be prosecuted for dangerous driving
0:25:42 > 0:25:46and no insurance, but Paul and Lee also want to find the bags
0:25:46 > 0:25:48they think he threw from the car.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Looking at the video it were right in the mouth at the junction.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54You can see it fly out.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56And I think whether...
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Either somebody will have picked it up or
0:25:58 > 0:26:01cars driving all over it will have destroyed it,
0:26:01 > 0:26:05but we're making our way in that direction, so we'll have a look as well.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11We've driven back to the location where we saw the drugs get thrown out of the car.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14We did ask another unit to check straightaway
0:26:14 > 0:26:15but they couldn't find them.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19But because we knew exactly where the packages were thrown out, we've driven back to have a look.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25He did admit ejecting the drugs out of the window.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28He claimed it were class B drugs, ie cannabis.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Can't find that, so...
0:26:33 > 0:26:36we'll just go with what we've got.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39If somebody had seen those items in the road,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42they've either driven over them and it's disappeared,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45or they picked them up never to be seen again.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51With no sign of the packages,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Paul and Lee reflect on the night's high-speed pursuit.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02You don't come to work to see people get injured or hurt.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06We're not robots, are we? We're human beings and we've feelings and so on.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10You know, I'd be sort of devastated that as a result of whatever
0:27:10 > 0:27:12somebody had been killed.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Do you feel responsible? I don't know if I'd feel responsible
0:27:15 > 0:27:17because we haven't made him do that, haven't we?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20No, I'd be angry that that had happened,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23but, you know, I'm not in charge of his destiny.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25I'm in charge of mine
0:27:25 > 0:27:28and everybody else's in this car.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30If he wants to drive like a maniac,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32then it's my decision
0:27:32 > 0:27:35whether I continue that pursuit.
0:27:40 > 0:27:4290 miles east of Bradford
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Matt and Wayne are on the north-east Lincolnshire coast in Grimsby.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49We cover a massive area across the Yorkshire-Humber region.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53On an increasing number of occasions now we're extending beyond those boundaries.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56We're not restricted by lines on a map.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00There's a report of an armed burglary.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11With a forced entry into the property, once inside
0:28:11 > 0:28:14he'd taken a number of knives including a large meat cleaver.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17There were then threats to the victim
0:28:17 > 0:28:18in relation to calling
0:28:18 > 0:28:20the police or contacting us.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24After making threats to her he'd left the property, made off on foot.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27We were told he had knives still on his person.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32RADIO: 743, any sightings?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Being passed at 22:43.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Last approximately five minutes.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Last seen heading towards Winchester Avenue.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Matt worked this area in his first two years of service
0:28:44 > 0:28:47and knows the suspect.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50It's certainly someone I'd come across many times,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52one of the priority offenders in the area
0:28:52 > 0:28:54responsible for burglaries
0:28:54 > 0:28:58and serious crime, so it's certainly a name I was familiar with.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02That might be him.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04That might be him, mate.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15With the head cam running
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Matt gives chase.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21X-ray Tango 18, we've got the suspect running in Chelmsford Avenue.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Guys, we've got a runner in Chelmsford Avenue.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32As soon as we go into the garden, it's pitch black, we've completely lost him.
0:29:36 > 0:29:3818, total loss in gardens,
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Chelmsford Avenue.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Bearing in mind that this guy's got meat cleavers,
0:29:46 > 0:29:48he's got knives on his person,
0:29:48 > 0:29:52the last thing I want to do is encounter him with just a can of CS.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58The best thing I knew to do was just step back and watch.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03'He wasn't going away from me. All he could do was come towards.'
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Can I just get a containment on where we are?
0:30:05 > 0:30:086-7ft fencing. I'm pretty sure he'll be in the gardens.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Directed officers to the containment
0:30:10 > 0:30:13and got that complete block of houses surrounded.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16Right, he's been on the other side and run through the gardens.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21You've no idea what's going through this guy's head.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Especially with a serious offence of armed burglary,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25he's potentially looking at a prison sentence.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Other side!
0:30:27 > 0:30:32The cops believe the suspect is still in the area and armed.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36I was just confident at that point he was still somewhere in those gardens.
0:30:42 > 0:30:432am.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46And 80 miles west of Grimsby, in Leeds,
0:30:46 > 0:30:50PCs Richard Whiteley and Les Green are on night patrol.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53We often get paired up on nights together. We are in
0:30:53 > 0:30:57a little area just outside Leeds, called Yeadon.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00Any car that we see
0:31:00 > 0:31:05moving at that time of night is certainly worth a check to make sure
0:31:05 > 0:31:07they're not drunk, it's not stolen,
0:31:07 > 0:31:09they're not active burglars out and about
0:31:09 > 0:31:11looking, er, for houses to turn over.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17Just past the junction and seen this vehicle
0:31:17 > 0:31:19that's taken a long time to pull out after we've driven past.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23It is a high-crime area and we're wondering, at this moment,
0:31:23 > 0:31:25why the vehicle took so long to pull out.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- Took a long time coming out.- Mmm.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34And we're just following it now, looking for a suitable place
0:31:34 > 0:31:36to stop it, to see if the vehicle will stop
0:31:36 > 0:31:40and see why the driver took so long coming out of the junction.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44VOICES ON POLICE RADIO, OFFICERS CHAT SOFTLY
0:31:44 > 0:31:46I'll go and have a word.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Hiya, mate.- My house!- Sorry?
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- Sorry, I'm at home. Sorry about that.- You home?- Yes.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01Right, no worries.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- Just want to come and have a seat at the back of ours?- Yes.- Two minutes.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- Where have you just come from? - Um, I've just got my friend home.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11As soon as he got out the car, I could smell that he'd had a drink.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13All right. You had a drink at all?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Um... Just one.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- Have you had a drink tonight? - Yeah, I just asked. He's had one.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Um, "just the one" is often a stock response.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29'As soon as he got into the vehicle, you could smell it.'
0:32:29 > 0:32:34- OK, how long ago was your last drink? - Um... An hour and a half?- OK.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37What we'll do is just do a quick breath test on you
0:32:37 > 0:32:40while my colleague's doing a check on you.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Have you ever done a breath test before?- Never. Sorry about this.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45OK, lean forward. I'll keep hold of the machine.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47You put your lips on it and blow.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49BEEPING Keep go... No, blow.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50BEEPING Keep going, keep going. No, no.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Right, get off. Stop, stop, stop.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55It says "blow failing", cos you're not blowing hard enough.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58We see all sorts, um, we, er,
0:32:58 > 0:33:01we see people filling their mouth full of air, as if they are trying to
0:33:01 > 0:33:05kid the machine, not putting enough pressure into it to get it going.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09It's not hard to do. It's about the pressure of a balloon.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- Before you do it, take a deep breath...- Right.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14..put your lips on the tube and blow nice and steadily until I say stop.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- Right.- Last chance or you're locked up for refusal.- Go.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19BEEPING Keep going, keep going, keep going.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Keep going, keep going, stop.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- It's over. I can tell you now.- Yeah.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32OK. Christophe, you are over.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34You've failed the roadside breath test.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36OK, so, at the minute, and I'm going to caution you,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39you do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
0:33:39 > 0:33:42if you do not mention something you later rely on in court.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Anything you say may be given in evidence.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47You're under arrest on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle on a road
0:33:47 > 0:33:49whilst over the prescribed limit, OK?
0:33:50 > 0:33:52'He's, er, a little bit over the legal limit.'
0:33:52 > 0:33:55It being 35 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00The, er, the young chap's blown 55, so he's been arrested by myself
0:34:00 > 0:34:02and we will take him to Pudsey Police Station
0:34:02 > 0:34:05to do the formal evidential procedure.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Recent figures show that drivers aged between 20 and 24
0:34:09 > 0:34:13failed more breath tests than any other group.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Drink-driving - it kills people.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18The worst job that we have to do, as traffic officers,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20to knock on someone's door and give them the news, er,
0:34:20 > 0:34:23at three or four o'clock in the morning that colleagues
0:34:23 > 0:34:26are dealing with a fatal accident. It's just not worth it.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34I think he's realised how silly he's been.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39'He said he'd come from Horsforth, um, which, from there to Horsforth,
0:34:39 > 0:34:42'is about 3 miles. It's about £5 in a taxi.'
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Hi, Dad.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Um, I'm in the back of a police car.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Can you switch your mobile phone off?
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- I just parked outside... - Switch your mobile phone off.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- At the time...- Switch your mobile phone off!- OK...- Now!
0:34:55 > 0:34:57'It's not an abuse of power, or anything like that.'
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- Give the phone! - It's all right, it's gone!
0:34:59 > 0:35:01- Give the phone! Now!- OK, OK!
0:35:01 > 0:35:04We've no idea who he is. We don't know what he does.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07We don't know who he's ringing or who he could be texting.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10'So we want the mobile phone off him.' Thank you.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12There's the case. Please put it in the case.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17I was letting my dad know...
0:35:17 > 0:35:19You don't have to let your dad know. You're in custody.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- We'll let your dad know.- OK.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Well, I think his world's fallen apart, hasn't it?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27He's obviously concerned what his dad's thinking.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Why he isn't home, perhaps? And, er...
0:35:29 > 0:35:32He's just wishing that perhaps he should have got a taxi.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42In Grimsby, the young man
0:35:42 > 0:35:45who threatened a woman with a knife is still on the run.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51Certainly, the...the upper tiers of the crimes we've come across.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54It's a serious crime, having your home broken into
0:35:54 > 0:35:56and then having that confrontation
0:35:56 > 0:35:59with whoever is going to be an ordeal for anybody.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00The evidence-catching head cam
0:36:00 > 0:36:03showed just what the cops themselves are seeing.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04You what? Sorry, mate?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Do you know which one, mate? It might be what we're looking for.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Someone's approached me,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14um, just pointed out a bit of suspicious activity.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17He suspected something had been thrown into the gardens.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25VOICES ON POLICE RADIO
0:36:27 > 0:36:28Matt makes a discovery.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50The weapons are an important find,
0:36:50 > 0:36:53but there's still no sign of the suspect.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56First sighting of me, he's obviously ditched his knives and that here.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Last sighting was at the back of that one on the corner.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02- Hopping.- Which side? - Across the road, mate, back of there.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Just trying to get as many officers as possible into the right places.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09Er, just back of this one, mate. It was generally that way.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11But all these fences, quite high fences.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- He's going to have gone to behind. - Potentially so, yeah.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19There was a perfect wall around him. He'd ran into a dead-end, in effect.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Probably about the back of there, mate. About ten gone in.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25'We've asked for Taser-trained officers to attend.'
0:37:25 > 0:37:27And whilst they're travelling,
0:37:27 > 0:37:29this guy has come out of hiding...
0:37:29 > 0:37:31We've got him detained.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32..into the path of officers waiting.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- MAN:- It was like he was telling me to stop, he was telling me to stop.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40My previous experience of him was anti-social crime,
0:37:40 > 0:37:43causing a nuisance to people on the street.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46That's a far cry from burglary.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48The fact he's potentially threatened somebody with a knife,
0:37:48 > 0:37:50left on foot with knives in his possession,
0:37:50 > 0:37:54it seemed to have escalated somewhat from what I know of him.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Clearly, something's gone wrong with him.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01The teenaged suspect has convictions for more than 50 offences.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05TEENAGER PROTESTS, SPEECH INAUDIBLE
0:38:06 > 0:38:09We have initially sighted him in the gardens of, um,
0:38:09 > 0:38:12where I've first seen him before. We've turned round
0:38:12 > 0:38:16this carrier bag containing a meat cleaver and two kitchen knives.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20What's been described. So they've been seized.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27For me, any offence where you are entering into somebody's home,
0:38:27 > 0:38:29especially more so where you're using weapons
0:38:29 > 0:38:33to make threats, it's a serious offence, it's going to cause
0:38:33 > 0:38:36serious repercussions for all those involved.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Back in Leeds, the young man who blew over the drink-drive limit
0:38:48 > 0:38:52just outside his house has arrived at the police station
0:38:52 > 0:38:54to undertake an evidential breath test.
0:38:54 > 0:38:59He is now realising just what it's like to be under arrest.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01He's had his liberty taken away, his mobile phone taken away,
0:39:01 > 0:39:03he's now feeling quite helpless
0:39:03 > 0:39:05and doesn't really know what to do with himself.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06Any property, can you just
0:39:06 > 0:39:09empty it out of your pockets and put it on here?
0:39:09 > 0:39:14Any money? Change? Jewellery? Watches? Belts? That sort of stuff.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Because he's blown over, we now bring him, put him on a much
0:39:17 > 0:39:21bigger machine that is a little bit more accurate than the hand-held one
0:39:21 > 0:39:23and that will give us the evidential breath
0:39:23 > 0:39:26that we will either release or charge him with.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27A learning curve for him
0:39:27 > 0:39:30and it's going to be a sharp one, cos, if he's still over,
0:39:30 > 0:39:32he's going to lose his driving licence for a minimum of 12 months.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36MACHINE WHINES Keep going, keep going, keep going.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Keep going, stop. MACHINE BEEPS
0:39:43 > 0:39:44OK.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47MACHINE WHINES Keep going, keep going, keep going.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51Keep going, keep going. Good.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52OK, sit down.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57We're in the hands of the gods once he's blown into the machine and, er,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00you know, one microgram over is over.
0:40:02 > 0:40:0434, 36.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05That's come down a lot.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- You are one lucky young man. - One lucky young man.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- You're under the legal drink-drive limit.- The limit's 35.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16You've blown 34 or 36.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18We go on the lower limit, which is 34.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26In my 11 years, I've not seen anybody break down in tears
0:40:26 > 0:40:30from it, but obviously, it means a lot to him.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32And he's been a lucky lad.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- I think he's a happy chap. - I think that says it all.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42OK, Christophe, there's three printouts here.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44One that you can keep, you can frame,
0:40:44 > 0:40:47because tonight was your lucky night.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50The second one is mine and the third one is the Sergeant's, OK?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52I just need three signatures. They're all identical.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54He'll hopefully take home his printout and frame it
0:40:54 > 0:40:57and look at it every time he goes out and think,
0:40:57 > 0:41:01"Is it worth it for a £5 taxi fare?" Hopefully, it's a lesson learned.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02Come on.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07As he's blown under the limit, no action will be taken against him.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11I made a bad judgment of error in getting in my car again, um...
0:41:13 > 0:41:17But at the same time, by the time you get outside of your house,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20you're more angry at the fact that you just...
0:41:20 > 0:41:23just missed the chance of getting home free.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- NERVOUS LAUGHTER - Um...yeah.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Nothing can describe that very last metre in your car
0:41:29 > 0:41:31and then getting pulled over.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38It's 6am.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42The start of the morning commute in Leeds for thousands of motorists.

0:41:52 > 0:41:53We'd come on
0:41:53 > 0:41:58and got a call regarding a man. He'd parked up outside a local hotel,
0:41:58 > 0:42:02gone into the hotel to try and get a drink, wasn't served, so went out
0:42:02 > 0:42:03and slept in his car.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06He's in the back, isn't he? KNOCKING ON WINDOW
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Is it your side? His head's at your side.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10All doors are locked.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16The chap is sat in the back of the car with a duvet over him.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- Has he frozen to death? - KNOCKING CONTINUES
0:42:19 > 0:42:22He was definitely hard and fast asleep.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24I was starting to worry the window would go through in his car.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26HARD KNOCKING
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Oh, here we go!
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Morning.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I don't think, at that point,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38he's fully aware of who it is that's talking to him.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Is it your motor?- Well, yeah, it's in my dad's name, but, yeah, it's mine.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45All right, jump in the back.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Come on, this side.- Onto this side.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Checks that we've carried out have shown that
0:42:49 > 0:42:53the car is registered to an address that's not too far away from there,
0:42:53 > 0:42:55so both Dan and I are a little confused
0:42:55 > 0:42:58as to why he's stopped where he's stopped.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00So why have you ended up here?
0:43:03 > 0:43:04Right.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12All right, how have you got here?
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- So you've been out in Wetherby, out on a night out...- Mmm.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23..drove back here...
0:43:23 > 0:43:25fallen asleep in your car and that's it?
0:43:25 > 0:43:27- Haven't had anything to drink since you've parked?- No.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- As soon as I've come in, nothing at all.- Right.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32He's told us by his own admission
0:43:32 > 0:43:34he's drank with friends, driven from a nearby town and stopped,
0:43:34 > 0:43:38so, you know, we have a power to give a breath test.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40Right, just lean forwards, a good deep breath,
0:43:40 > 0:43:43just blow into the tube for me. Keep blowing till I tell you to stop.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46- BEEPING - Keep blowing, keep blowing.
0:43:46 > 0:43:47Stop! Brilliant, there we go.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58It's a common misconception, people go out,
0:43:58 > 0:44:02have a load to drink, go home, go to bed,
0:44:02 > 0:44:05six, seven hours' sleep, wake up, and they think they're sober -
0:44:05 > 0:44:07"cos I've had a night's sleep, I'm fine."
0:44:07 > 0:44:10- Right, you see the red light's come on, Dan?- Yeah, I know.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12- Mate, I could have told you... - Yeah.- ..hours ago.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16- That means you provided a positive sample breath.- Yeah, I know.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18So, at this minute in time, you're under arrest
0:44:18 > 0:44:20- on suspicion of drink-driving, all right?- Yeah.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22He's blown twice the limit
0:44:22 > 0:44:25and it's at least five or six hours since he's driven.
0:44:25 > 0:44:29So the worrying thing is exactly how far over the limit he was
0:44:29 > 0:44:31when he actually did drive and park up.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39- You can't, cos you're under arrest now.- I've already...
0:44:39 > 0:44:40I've already given you a breath...
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- HE SLURS: - Breath sam...breath sample.
0:44:43 > 0:44:44Oh, mate, come on!
0:44:44 > 0:44:46The unfortunate thing for us is,
0:44:46 > 0:44:48if we allow him out of the car to have a cigarette,
0:44:48 > 0:44:51um...we've then got to try and control him
0:44:51 > 0:44:54and make sure he doesn't run off. He's effectively got
0:44:54 > 0:44:56a weapon in his hand, with a burning cigarette.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58Can you at least get my cigs out of my car
0:44:58 > 0:45:00before you take me away, so I've got some?
0:45:00 > 0:45:03We'll pick your cigs up, so at least you got them, but when you get out.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05When he gets released from custody,
0:45:05 > 0:45:07he's obviously going to want a cigarette then.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10But you can't smoke in the custody areas any more.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13Oh, yes, there is!
0:45:13 > 0:45:17Er, but there's no lighter in there.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Something else, though, that he might want to explain.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23Er, just getting his cigarettes and lighter for him, he's got some
0:45:23 > 0:45:26small amount of cannabis that's in the middle as well,
0:45:26 > 0:45:27so he'll be getting locked up for that
0:45:27 > 0:45:30and dealt with for everything all at the same time.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34HE LAUGHS
0:45:34 > 0:45:36Yeah! Yeah.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38Yeah, I don't think he said to Dan at any point,
0:45:38 > 0:45:41"Can you get me my lighter? It's next to the cannabis."
0:45:41 > 0:45:44HE HUMS TO HIMSELF I've got your phone, your money,
0:45:44 > 0:45:45your cigarettes...
0:45:45 > 0:45:48My mate's just going to tell you about this.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50I've just found that in the centre console,
0:45:50 > 0:45:53- so if you want to go 112 with that as well.- Yeah. Right, obviously,
0:45:53 > 0:45:57you're under arrest on suspicion of a controlled drug as well.
0:45:57 > 0:46:00It sort of makes you smile a bit, doesn't it?
0:46:00 > 0:46:02The cannabis side of it, the drink-driving side doesn't.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:46:05 > 0:46:09- Your boss man's ringing you. - Holy shit! I'm meant to be working!
0:46:09 > 0:46:12Do you want to speak to him or shall we just leave it?
0:46:12 > 0:46:13RINGING CONTINUES
0:46:13 > 0:46:15- Do you want to speak to him after you're done?- Er, you'd better
0:46:15 > 0:46:18speak to him, but don't say I've been nicked for drink-driving!
0:46:18 > 0:46:20I believe he works with some quite heavy machinery,
0:46:20 > 0:46:23so another part of this is the worrying side
0:46:23 > 0:46:25that he was going to go to work. It's not a good mix.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29It's my own fault. I've learned from my mistakes.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34Don't go out, have a few beers and drive.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37There you go, you see?
0:46:39 > 0:46:43West Yorkshire is one of the worst areas in the country
0:46:43 > 0:46:48for motor insurance offences. In 2012, more than 3,500 motorists
0:46:48 > 0:46:52were prosecuted here for driving without cover.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56At their base in Manningham,
0:46:56 > 0:47:00PCs Simon Ellis and Dick Infield are planning to question
0:47:00 > 0:47:03a motorist they believe may be going one step further,
0:47:03 > 0:47:07and using a counterfeit insurance policy.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10So this is the guy we're going to arrest.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13There could always be an occasion where someone's done something
0:47:13 > 0:47:16quite innocently and not realised and been duped.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19It's like anything else. It's a scam.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Was found to be uninsured.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26He's been summoned to attend court, which he has done,
0:47:26 > 0:47:31and he's, er, produced a false insurance policy to the court.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35Recent figures show there could be as many as 20,000 motorists
0:47:35 > 0:47:40driving in the UK uninsured after buying fraudulent or fake cover.
0:47:40 > 0:47:44We've written to the insurance company and they've
0:47:44 > 0:47:47quite comprehensively told us that the policy doesn't exist.
0:47:47 > 0:47:52The question for the cops is did he know it was a false policy?
0:47:52 > 0:47:55This is getting to become quite common now, people try
0:47:55 > 0:47:59and evade the points and the fines for having no insurance,
0:47:59 > 0:48:01but if we don't stamp it out,
0:48:01 > 0:48:05then obviously it will be something that spreads quite vehemently around
0:48:05 > 0:48:07certainly our area in Bradford, where we have
0:48:07 > 0:48:10a high number of people and vehicles that are uninsured.
0:48:10 > 0:48:12He may get a shock when we knock at his door.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17Across the UK, police seize
0:48:17 > 0:48:20more than 2,500 uninsured vehicles a week,
0:48:20 > 0:48:23but still, there are 130 deaths
0:48:23 > 0:48:29and more than 26,000 injuries caused by uninsured drivers every year.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32I think we all have our little forte.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34I think mine is probably insurance.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37And I stick to what I'm good at, really.
0:48:39 > 0:48:42I think it's a bit of a catch-22, really.
0:48:42 > 0:48:46The more people that are uninsured, the more other people's premiums
0:48:46 > 0:48:49go up, so the more they can't afford insurance
0:48:49 > 0:48:51and it's just this vicious circle.
0:48:53 > 0:48:55Uninsured drivers add, on average,
0:48:55 > 0:48:59an extra £30 to insurance premiums each year.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01That's the car.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03So, there's the car outside,
0:49:03 > 0:49:07which Dick stopped this guy driving in back in August last year,
0:49:07 > 0:49:10so, hopefully from that, he might be in.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14- Here you are, mate.- Thank you.
0:49:17 > 0:49:18Excuse me, can I have a quick word?
0:49:20 > 0:49:21It was brilliant to see him there,
0:49:21 > 0:49:24because we didn't think he was going to be in.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26And very rarely do we pull up outside someone's house
0:49:26 > 0:49:27and they happen to be there.
0:49:27 > 0:49:32- Right, you've produced some insurance certificates...- Yeah.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36- ..at court, from when I stopped you driving last August.- Right.- OK?
0:49:36 > 0:49:38Those insurance certificates are fraud.
0:49:38 > 0:49:41- They can't be fraud.- So what I need to do is I need to take you down
0:49:41 > 0:49:44to the police station and discuss on interview the validity
0:49:44 > 0:49:46- of those insurance certificates. - Can't you do it here?
0:49:46 > 0:49:49OK, I've got to take you down to the police station.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52So I'll tell you now you're under arrest on the suspicion
0:49:52 > 0:49:53of perverting the course of justice.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55- Thank you, like that. - It's mental, this.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57It's a serious offence.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00And we need to be able to prove certain factors.
0:50:00 > 0:50:04We need to be able to prove that he's attempted to deceive people
0:50:04 > 0:50:07by producing it. We need to get an account off him.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10- MAN: What is it for? Insurance? - Yeah.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14- Yup!- 'If the man has knowingly produced a false policy,
0:50:14 > 0:50:16'he could be facing a prison sentence.'
0:50:16 > 0:50:18- Here you are.- Just jump in.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21Some of these that we've dealt with have gone to prison for 4-5 months.
0:50:21 > 0:50:25And that's a big difference between getting some points on a licence
0:50:25 > 0:50:28or basically having your liberty taken away.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36I brought your picture with us, just to make sure it was you
0:50:36 > 0:50:38and, thankfully, you kept the same top on for us, look.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40MAN LAUGHS That made it a bit easier.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44He was quite amenable, he was quite a likeable sort of guy, really.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47When was the last time you got arrested?
0:50:50 > 0:50:52- The one you've got. - Was it a warrant or something?
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Er...
0:50:54 > 0:50:56It was, yeah.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58What's happening with that job?
0:51:00 > 0:51:02What you got arrested for?
0:51:02 > 0:51:03..Yeah.
0:51:06 > 0:51:10- That's what the warrant... - So you got fined having no insurance,
0:51:10 > 0:51:14- but you didn't pay the fine, because you said you were insured?- Yup.- OK.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Well, how did you get convicted if you were insured?
0:51:18 > 0:51:19You got convicted in your absence?
0:51:27 > 0:51:28Come on.
0:51:30 > 0:51:31Just hold on, mate.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36That's a bit aggressive, innit? You doing that for the camera, yeah?
0:51:36 > 0:51:40People are creatures of habit. He's turned up wearing the same top
0:51:40 > 0:51:42when he was last arrested by the police.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44The same car's outside his house,
0:51:44 > 0:51:47now with no insurance, and now with no tax on it.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50So people don't tend to go far from where they're meant to be.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57We're just interviewing him on tape about the offence.
0:51:57 > 0:52:04We're giving him his chance to give a reasoned excuse and account,
0:52:04 > 0:52:08an explanation for how he's got a forged policy with him.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10We are investigating an offence of an attempt
0:52:10 > 0:52:12to pervert the course of justice by the production
0:52:12 > 0:52:16of a false insurance document at a magistrates court.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18Where did you get the documents from?
0:52:21 > 0:52:24Have you produced these documents to try and deceive the court?
0:52:26 > 0:52:28I wasn't quite expecting
0:52:28 > 0:52:31what he told us, or should I say, what he didn't tell us.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34This is a fraud offence.
0:52:34 > 0:52:36You got caught with driving offences.
0:52:36 > 0:52:39I will arrange for both cases to be tied up together.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44- Complicated for us, in't it?- Mm-hm!
0:52:48 > 0:52:50HE LAUGHS: Full-time or part-time criminal?
0:52:52 > 0:52:54A retired criminal? When did you retire?
0:52:56 > 0:52:58- Did you?- Yeah!- Is there...?
0:53:00 > 0:53:03Is there no vacancies for a criminal at the moment?
0:53:06 > 0:53:07Yeah.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10He was quite easy-going and I think there were a lot of tongue-in-cheek
0:53:10 > 0:53:13things about what he said, and it was nice, it was talking about
0:53:13 > 0:53:15being a part-time criminal and retired and things.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18I quite enjoy working with him,
0:53:18 > 0:53:22because, if everybody was like him, it would make my job a lot easier.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24He seemed to take it in good spirit as well.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27You're all right, aren't you? Come on, let's go this way.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30I'm innocent! They're trying to prove me guilty,
0:53:30 > 0:53:33but they've got the wrong end of the stick.
0:53:33 > 0:53:36The insurance policy was taken out by a relative.
0:53:36 > 0:53:39I was a driver, I didn't pay for it. It was a gift, to be honest.
0:53:41 > 0:53:45- We can't, unfortunately. - We've got paperwork to sort out.- OK.
0:53:45 > 0:53:50Everybody asks us for a lift home and I mean everybody and... I think
0:53:50 > 0:53:53we politely told him something like, "We're not a taxi service."
0:53:53 > 0:53:56I was tempted to give him a lift, even just for the comedy value,
0:53:56 > 0:54:00just for having a chat with him, because I think he liked to talk
0:54:00 > 0:54:03and we learn all sorts from people like that.
0:54:03 > 0:54:07- You want that.- Your paperwork. - Shit! OK...
0:54:07 > 0:54:10- See you.- All right, lads, ta-ra! - Cheers, thank you.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13You can produce that to the court. That's genuine.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15- See you later.- See you later. - See you.- Ta-ra now.
0:54:15 > 0:54:19The paperwork from the court did get the better of him.
0:54:19 > 0:54:23He was fined £165 for no insurance.
0:54:23 > 0:54:27But the charges for producing a false insurance policy were dropped,
0:54:27 > 0:54:29as the court accepted he had been misled
0:54:29 > 0:54:31into thinking the policy was genuine.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38In Leeds, the young man caught sleeping in his car
0:54:38 > 0:54:42after a night out is about to find out if he's still over the limit.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45He's just on the phone to his solicitor at the minute,
0:54:45 > 0:54:47getting advice from them.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49He'll be placed on the big machine in there.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54That Intoxilyzer. That hand-held machine that we use roadside
0:54:54 > 0:54:57gives us an indication that he's over the limit, or whatever.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59That will give us a specific reading
0:54:59 > 0:55:02of what the actual alcohol content of his breath is.
0:55:02 > 0:55:03Just in here, fella.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10- BEEPING - Keep blowing, keep blowing,
0:55:10 > 0:55:13keep blowing, keep blowing, keep blowing, keep blowing,
0:55:13 > 0:55:15keep blowing, keep blowing, stop.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17- Brilliant, there we go. - Right, can you grab a seat?
0:55:19 > 0:55:24See, if you blow 40 or above, then you're in the realms of prosecution.
0:55:24 > 0:55:28If the reading is over, he faces a minimum 12-month ban.
0:55:30 > 0:55:3471 and 69, so you're twice the limit.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41Um, he'd been parked up there
0:55:41 > 0:55:44for a good few hours and yet he was still blowing double,
0:55:44 > 0:55:48so what he would have blown when he parked up there, I don't know.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52Latest figures show that 280 deaths
0:55:52 > 0:55:55are caused by drink-drivers in a year.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59I've dealt with a number of quite bad fatal collisions, where people
0:55:59 > 0:56:01have been killed directly as a result of drink-driving.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05SOFT CHATTER
0:56:05 > 0:56:08It's a big reality check, I think, when that door closes.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16The driver's actions are confirmed by CCTV.
0:56:16 > 0:56:19For continuity, to show that he has been in the hotel,
0:56:19 > 0:56:22er, we've gone back up and we've seen the CCTV that they've got.
0:56:22 > 0:56:26- So it's this one. - So this is here.- Yeah.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29That time of day when a car's pulling in, you'll know what it is.
0:56:29 > 0:56:32Yeah, and this is obviously ten minutes later,
0:56:32 > 0:56:33he comes in the first time.
0:56:35 > 0:56:37- And it's obvious it's him.- Yeah.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39Five minutes after, he comes back again to ask for cigs.
0:56:39 > 0:56:43- And goes back to his car and goes to sleep in the back.- Mmm.
0:56:43 > 0:56:45People just don't realise that that bit of metal
0:56:45 > 0:56:49that you're driving round, it can be a weapon quite easily.
0:56:49 > 0:56:52Just one or two drinks, you don't have to be drunk
0:56:52 > 0:56:54to be under the influence of drink.
0:56:54 > 0:56:55- Just blow there for me. - BEEPING
0:56:55 > 0:56:58Keep going until I tell you to stop.
0:56:58 > 0:57:00Keep going. Stop, thank you.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05Yeah, he's been asked to provide another sample of breath
0:57:05 > 0:57:07from the hand-held machine. He's blown 33,
0:57:07 > 0:57:10which is obviously under the limit of 35, so now, he's eligible
0:57:10 > 0:57:13to be released from custody, since we've finished processing with him.
0:57:13 > 0:57:15After six hours in custody,
0:57:15 > 0:57:18his alcohol level is low enough for him to be released.
0:57:23 > 0:57:27Every day's a school day. You learn something, don't you? Every day.
0:57:27 > 0:57:30I think, yeah, like you say, he's learned something today.
0:57:30 > 0:57:33Hopefully, touch wood, won't do it again.
0:57:41 > 0:57:44The drink-driver found asleep in his car was
0:57:44 > 0:57:48banned from driving for 17 months and accepted a cannabis caution.
0:57:49 > 0:57:53No action was taken against the suspected armed robber,
0:57:53 > 0:57:56as the woman he allegedly threatened withdrew her complaint.
0:57:58 > 0:58:02The driver who overturned his wife's car after a police pursuit
0:58:02 > 0:58:04pleaded guilty to driving dangerously.
0:58:04 > 0:58:07He was sentenced to eight months in prison
0:58:07 > 0:58:09and banned from driving for two years.
0:58:09 > 0:58:13He also admitted he threw cannabis from the car during the chase.
0:58:14 > 0:58:17And the suspect caught growing cannabis in Huddersfield
0:58:17 > 0:58:21was given a total of two years and seven months imprisonment
0:58:21 > 0:58:24for production and supply. No action was taken against the man
0:58:24 > 0:58:27who was previously registered at the address.
