0:00:02 > 0:00:06The vehicle is off-road, off-road. I can't see any way out of there.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Coming up... Out and running.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12A teenage car thief gives the traffic cops the run around.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Blue tracksuit bottoms, white stripes, heading towards the church.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18This is Taser - get down on your knees!
0:00:18 > 0:00:23Running the gauntlet. 50,000-volt Taser-armed traffic cops take no chances.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26- Get down! Get down!- Kneel down.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28And running amok.
0:00:28 > 0:00:33A PC puts out a call for help as he comes under attack on the streets of Luton.
0:00:33 > 0:00:38Martin, at a point there, I believe was fighting for survival.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06Luton, 30 miles north of London, was once a Mecca for migrant workers
0:01:06 > 0:01:08looking for employment in the car industry.
0:01:08 > 0:01:14As a result, it's one of the most multicultural areas in Britain.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19These days, Luton is more famous for planes than cars
0:01:19 > 0:01:23because of its international airport and no-frills flight operators.
0:01:25 > 0:01:31For some, who have resettled here from abroad, there is no escaping the reach of their own governments,
0:01:31 > 0:01:36thanks to the power of the European arrest warrant.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40These are issued as a way of extraditing wanted citizens
0:01:40 > 0:01:44from one EU country to another, virtually no questions asked.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50OK, I will come back to you in a minute.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55This morning, PC Chris Leah and PC Martin Lent are looking
0:01:55 > 0:02:00for a suspect who has committed a crime in his native Poland.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04We are getting about five or six European arrest warrants
0:02:04 > 0:02:06every month that we are executing.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I just want to quickly have a look at that address.
0:02:09 > 0:02:15Wielding a European arrest warrant is sometimes a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut,
0:02:15 > 0:02:21but today's target, Piotr, or Peter, Zak, has committed more than just a trivial offence.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26Peter was wanted from back in 2004
0:02:26 > 0:02:29for the equivalent of causing death by dangerous driving in Poland.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- 38.- 38.- This one here.
0:02:31 > 0:02:37He was convicted of that offence and he's then fled to this country, where he's been working.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41He has integrated into society over here.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45On the run for years, Zak is in for a bit of a surprise today.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47If only the cops can find him.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51I don't think there is anybody there.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54We've been given various addresses for him.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57We tried his work address.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01We tried a current address, which was the last known address we had for him. Both proved negative.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07We were on our way back to go off-duty when we were passing
0:03:07 > 0:03:10a road where there was a previous address for him.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13We thought we might as well try that address and have a quick look.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- There we go.- Hello.- Hello.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17How are you? All right?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Yeah.- Can we come in? - Yes.- Is that all right?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- The quick look has paid off.- OK?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25- What's your name?- Piotr.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Piotr what?- Zak.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Piotr Zak. Excellent.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31The cops have got their man.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- We need to have a quick chat.- Why?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35That's why we want to have a chat - I'll tell you about it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Have a seat down there for me. - Do you mind if we sit down?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Is that OK?- Yeah.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Piotr, do you know what this is about?- No. - You don't know what this is about.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I have bad news for you,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47all right.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52There is a European arrest warrant for you to return to Poland.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56OK. So at this moment in time, I'm arresting you
0:03:56 > 0:03:58on a European arrest warrant.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03You do not have to say anything, but anything you say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Did you know you were wanted in Poland?
0:04:04 > 0:04:11- It was a car accident. - That's right. A car accident.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Unfortunately, the Polish authorities want you back.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16'The wife or the girlfriend was distressed.'
0:04:16 > 0:04:20She is clearly recovering from childbirth.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25So, we were trying to deal with him as respectfully and dignified as we can.
0:04:25 > 0:04:31OK. I will get somebody to make contact with your other half. I promise.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36In a matter of days, Peter Zak will be in Poland and facing time in prison.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39He past has finally caught up with him.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42There's no time even for goodbyes.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44OK.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Executing arrest warrants and rounding up wanted suspects
0:04:52 > 0:04:56is a rather unusual job for the traffic department.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59150, we're being hollered.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01But, here in Bedfordshire, because the traffic cops are
0:05:01 > 0:05:06amongst the first in the country to be armed with Taser stun guns,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10they are often called in when arrests might turn nasty.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23We would love to, what are the details?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28BLEEP.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32On the way there, I thought, I think I might know that person.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I'd had Taser about three weeks
0:05:35 > 0:05:38and it was my first ever Taser deployment.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41My adrenaline was going two to the dozen.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Oh, that's rather rude.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51'I've heard the name before.'
0:05:51 > 0:05:56It was explained to me that he is an extremely violent individual.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57He will fight with the police.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02The markers are a record kept on the police computer -
0:06:02 > 0:06:05a warning the man could be trouble.
0:06:05 > 0:06:11Before Craig and Shona can deal with him, another important matter has cropped up.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14SHE GASPS
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Sorry. Sorry. I'm not having that.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- What's that?- Unbelievable!
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Oh, yeah. - A baby that's not strapped in.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Your baby, got to be in a child seat.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27You can't drive round like that.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32- Can you sort it out for us? - Thank you. Unbelievable.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Sorry.- No. No. Fair play.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42I caught that out of the corner of my eye - that's a baby being held in the back seat.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47As a mother herself, Shona has a thing about child safety.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50It makes me really angry. Really, really angry.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Nine times out of ten, they would normally get a £60 ticket
0:06:55 > 0:06:59for failing to have their child restrained correctly.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03With the arrest to deal with, words of advice will have to do this time.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08- OK.- OK. - They're obviously expecting issues.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Clearly.- The man's being arrested for spitting at a neighbour.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Hardly the crime of the century, but you never know.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20When we pulled up, I saw a marked P issue police van
0:07:20 > 0:07:25parked up on the kerb, and right in front of me was another P issue police van marked up.
0:07:25 > 0:07:31Two police cars and another unmarked traffic car with two Taser officers in there.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- So, this guy is going to play. - Yeah.- If he does, that's fine.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- We'll both have our Tasers drawn anyway.- Of course we will.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40We've got two vans and two cars...
0:07:40 > 0:07:43We'll go and speak to them, see what's going on.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I was really pleased I was with Craig that day because
0:07:46 > 0:07:49he's a self-defence instructor and he's used Taser before.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I think he's used it quite a lot.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Craig will go in, he'll give a first warning. If they don't do as they're told, they get Tasered.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00If he starts raising the game, you've got any problems, or we think
0:08:00 > 0:08:03it's going to need...just go behind us, we'll take the lead.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- We will have Taser drawn anyway. - No worries.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10In the car.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Tango 150.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22We've liaised with 1278. The information officer is moving forward now.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30He looks quite a big unit, to be fair.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33We won't mess about with him. We'll give him an opportunity.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36The officer's speaking to him. If there are issues, then we just...
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- He does look rather big, doesn't he? - Yeah.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52What we said was is, we would knock at the door,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54try and get him to come out voluntarily,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56then he can be arrested.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58He starts saying, "No, I'm not coming,"
0:08:58 > 0:09:03you then know straight away it's a downward spiral where he's not going to be compliant towards the police.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08150, we're just putting the knock in now.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Just putting the knock in at number- BLEEP- now.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Hello,- BLEEP.- Hello.- How are you?
0:09:18 > 0:09:24Once he'd come to the door, it became apparent there were other people in his flat.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28I made the decision there and then he was not going back in the flat.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33While he was at the door, I could see he had no weapons, I could see his empty hands.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37By letting him go back indoors, he's got markers for weapons, he's got markers for violence -
0:09:37 > 0:09:40you don't know where he's going to go and what he will pick up.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45An allegation has been made that you assaulted somebody by spitting at them.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- BLEEP,- you're being arrested on suspicion of assault.
0:09:48 > 0:09:55- For spitting in someone's face? - ..something you later rely on in court... Do you understand that?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57No, I don't understand that.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Come on, out you go, then. - I'm coming.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Now, come on. - Don't try and start holding me.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Come on out,- BLEEP, - this is your last chance.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- BLEEP,- this is Taser, get down on your knees.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Get down on the floor now! Do it! - Get down!- Kneel down!
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- This is a 50,000-volt Taser, kneel down.- Down!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Out of the way! Kneel down.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24You are thinking, crikey, I might have to use it here, this guy is violent.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28He doesn't look like he will comply with anything we are saying.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- Get down!- This is your last chance.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Kneel down!- Do as you are told!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Put your hands on your head!
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- Hands on your head! - Put your hands on your head.
0:10:40 > 0:10:47To Shona's relief, the man's decided he doesn't want to risk being hit with 50,000 volts.
0:10:47 > 0:10:53If I had gone for the leg shot and missed, there is a possibility I could have got Craig
0:10:53 > 0:10:55and vice versa.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59We are thinking we are in a little bit of a sticky situation.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03MAN SHOUTS
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Oi!- I've got Taser drawn.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Taser is drawn.- I'm on drive stun.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Get him down.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I've got it. I've got it.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I'll drive stun him.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Stunning!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- BLEEP- your stunning!- BLEEP.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Who's got the van keys?- He has.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Come on, hurry up. You was waiting for this.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Hurry up, man.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36What? What? What?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Stand your ground.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- Carry on, you- BLEEP,- with that, I'll- BLEEP.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Got it.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00We'll follow him down. We'll follow you down.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03When we first opened the door,
0:12:03 > 0:12:08there was a very strong smell of cannabis from inside the house.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12My first thought was he would be under the influence of drugs.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15The fact that we've got a really confined space in the hallway...
0:12:15 > 0:12:20For the officers to be trying to fight with him, someone would get injured.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24The female officer went to take hold of his arm.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26He pulled away rather violently.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- BLEEP,- this is Taser. Get down on your knees!
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- Get down on the floor now! Get down!- Do it! Kneel down.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38This is a 50,000-volt Taser.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I was thinking, should we Taser, because that's how we're taught.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46If he is not complying, he should be Tasered, but because of the angle
0:12:46 > 0:12:51that he was stood, it would make it very difficult to make sure you've got a shot.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55I would have been quite justifiably using my Taser,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57probably earlier on.
0:12:57 > 0:13:03But the situation we were in, it was easier to take the extra 20 seconds to get him to comply.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Which he did. At the end of the day, it's going to hurt him more than anyone else.
0:13:08 > 0:13:14- Wow!- It works, doesn't it? - Wow.- Like it? It works well.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17That is amazing. He was going to go, wasn't he?
0:13:17 > 0:13:22That was her first proper Taser deployment. She did really well.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25She was calm, collected, and did everything that was expected.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Five miles away from Luton, in Dunstable,
0:13:34 > 0:13:41traffic cop Tanveer Hussain is on a mission to catch some youngsters in a stolen car.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47Chasing criminals has long been his ambition, ever since seeing how it was done on TV.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53I always wanted to be a police officer.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Watching The Bill helped a little.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00I soon came to realise that nothing is solved in half an hour!
0:14:06 > 0:14:10The car has been seen on a nearby estate, but unless Tanveer
0:14:10 > 0:14:14finds it PDQ, this case won't be solved in half an hour either.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22It was stolen in a burglary during the night in Leighton Buzzard, ten miles away.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I think it's for the kicks, is why they do it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28That adrenaline rush of being in somebody's house,
0:14:28 > 0:14:33trying to steal the car keys and whatever else you can get your hands on.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Then getting into the car and off they go.
0:14:37 > 0:14:44When cars get stolen, it's to the police helicopter, X-ray Alpha 99, that the cops turn first.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49It's one of two, covering five neighbouring counties.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Between them, they catch 1,000 criminals a year.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57But first, they have to locate them.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00From the air and on the ground, the search is on.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06This is near Woodfield Green up here. This is where it must be.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13Near Woodfield Green. It could be somewhere around here.
0:15:13 > 0:15:20There were other units heading in that direction to try to locate the vehicle.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24As we more or less turned into the estate
0:15:24 > 0:15:29there was a blue Ford Focus in the distance, turning and going out of view.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37358 Oakwood Avenue, we've got a right, right, right.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I'm behind the vehicle.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Kilo, Yankee, Zero, Five, Whiskey, Tango, November.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- 99, how long, over?- 99 on scene.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56I see a visual. I'll take the commentary. Stand by. It's a right, right, now.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01The driver was aware I was behind him.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05The moment his speed increased, I activated the lights and followed the vehicle.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I'm going to try and stop it, over.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Stand by. Right, right, now.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14But the car thieves are not having any of it.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16They are determined to get away.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Panda on Mountview Road.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Closely behind Tanveer are more police vehicles -
0:16:28 > 0:16:30local bobbies in pandas.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Keep your distance. I am fairly certain
0:16:34 > 0:16:40he will try and ram into me due to his speed and what he is doing.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Keep your distance, if you can, please.
0:16:47 > 0:16:53Heading for open country, the driver's becoming increasingly desperate and dangerous.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Speed is 70. 70.
0:17:02 > 0:17:0499, that vehicle is...
0:17:04 > 0:17:09Possible dead end here. Stand by for decamp.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16While we were going up the dirt track
0:17:16 > 0:17:21I thought, he is now looking for somewhere to decamp, do a runner.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Stand by for decamp.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36The vehicle is off-road, off-road. I can't see any way out.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Driver out. Black top, blue tracksuit bottoms, white stripes.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Heading towards the church.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50In the cemetery of the church now.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58He is left, left, turning south, out of the church, on a track towards the quarry.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06As he comes to a stop, I think he hits a railway sleeper.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08He jumps out of the car and off he goes.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13The passenger is not as quick as his mate in the hoodie.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15He's been caught red-handed.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24He's bearing left into the tree line.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30- He is struggling through the tree line.- He must have been 16,
0:18:30 > 0:18:3717, I am 30 - the little head start he had didn't help!
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Apparently he's in here somewhere.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51The offender has come through the tree line, running south towards the quarry.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55Can I have a unit towards Dunstable - head him off.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00To the officer that's been chasing this male, if you continue ahead towards the quarry, there is a path
0:19:00 > 0:19:02to your left, he will come out there.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Day or night, the helicopter's gyro-stabilised thermal imaging camera
0:19:13 > 0:19:17is just the job for tracking moving heat sources.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Except when they're in thick forests.
0:19:22 > 0:19:2399, stand by.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I've lost him in the tree line, but I believe he's going to be on a path
0:19:27 > 0:19:31which is going to come round the back of the quarry.
0:19:31 > 0:19:38Tell the officer in the field looking at the aircraft now,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40come towards the aircraft.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44He is below me now. In the tree line there.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Luckily, Tanveer, and now a police dog, are closing in fast on their prey.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Police officer with a dog, show yourself!
0:19:55 > 0:20:00I was 100% confident that we were going to catch him.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03But there's a complication.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Tanveer is in the middle of fasting
0:20:07 > 0:20:12for the holy month of Ramadan and running on empty is taking its toll.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Having nothing to eat or drink, it's very difficult.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23I normally try and stay away from sports activities.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30We have something to eat before sunrise,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and before sunset, we will open our fast,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36so we would have nothing during the hours of light.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41We will have nothing to drink or eat. On that day, I was fasting.
0:20:43 > 0:20:49Albeit a short distance run, it didn't go down well with my system.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Decided to puke on the field.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00While Tanveer regains his strength,
0:21:00 > 0:21:04in Luton, someone else is experiencing that sick feeling.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07The man responsible for the deadly crash in Poland.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10OK, Peter.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- Can you take...?- Of course I can.
0:21:14 > 0:21:20Seven years after the accident, the last thing he was expecting this morning was to be suddenly wrenched
0:21:20 > 0:21:23from his home and family in England.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25It tugs on your heartstrings, certainly,
0:21:25 > 0:21:31feeling for her and a child and, to a certain degree, for him.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34As a father, I would not like to be...
0:21:34 > 0:21:39pulled away from my wife or my girlfriend and my newborn child.
0:21:39 > 0:21:46That's got to be the worst feeling in the world, but the underlying factor is, we have a job to do.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49We do it to the best of our ability.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53The job to do now is to read Piotr his rights.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Are we going to the big room? After you.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Chris went into the room with him, gave him the Polish copy
0:22:00 > 0:22:04of the arrest warrant so he could read it properly.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06At home, there's a lot of emotions flying around.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08He doesn't want to be taken away.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12We are now in the police station, he can concentrate on the task in hand.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17On the warrant, there are full details of the offence.
0:22:17 > 0:22:25It says on June 17th 2003, the convict violated traffic safety regulations, deliberately so.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Driving a Peugeot car, he failed to adapted the speed to obligatory
0:22:29 > 0:22:34limits and as a result of the speed caused a crash with a Mercedes car,
0:22:34 > 0:22:41and subsequently one of the Mercedes passengers died on the spot due to injuries caused in the crash.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Another passenger suffered a multi-organ injury, post-injury shock.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Fracture of the left lung and fracture of the pelvis.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54The convict escaped on the spot.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58So it looks like as soon as the crash occurred,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Peter has run from the scene of the crash.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03It was obviously a serious crash, wasn't it?
0:23:07 > 0:23:14You felt sorry for him, but you have to think of the family of the deceased.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19They would want justice, the person responsible for the death
0:23:19 > 0:23:24of their relative to be brought to justice.
0:23:26 > 0:23:32The authorities in Poland are keeping their counterparts in Luton very busy today.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Another wanted Polish man has been brought into the main police station.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41As it happens, with around 350 being extradited
0:23:41 > 0:23:47back to Poland every year, a special fortnightly military flight has even been laid on for them.
0:23:47 > 0:23:53OK, Peter, this is your room. Leave your shoes outside.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Let me have one more last check about. No. No belt. Good.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I will come and see you in a while.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I'll make sure that we get in contact with your partner.
0:24:03 > 0:24:11Just as Piotr Zak is getting settled in, a PC out on patrol has sounded an alarm on his personal radio.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Chris had escorted Zak down to the cell.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18I heard a tone that someone had hit their priority button.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Can someone let me out quickly, please? Have you got keys?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24Yes...
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Someone's hit the priority switch.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33The priority button is a kind of panic alarm that's only ever used if a cop is in real danger.
0:24:34 > 0:24:41When you hear that sound, it sends shivers down your spine, you react to it and drop everything and you go.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46There's been some kind of altercation in the middle of Luton.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51A PC is in trouble, but it is not clear exactly what happened.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Where are we going? - Towards the library, town centre.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03In the control room, they are trying to gather what information they can.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08A network of CCTV cameras covers the main downtown area.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10And they've picked up a disturbance.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Two young men have been caught and are being restrained
0:25:15 > 0:25:19while two more have been spotted on cameras fleeing the cops.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28One of them has run out of gas, leaving another still on the loose.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Amongst the pandemonium, there is another problem.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Where are we going? - The police radios aren't working.
0:25:37 > 0:25:43The only information I knew then, there were a couple of lads that had made off from officers.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47I'm calling up on the radio to find out what is happening
0:25:47 > 0:25:52and realising that the channel that I was on had been dedicated for a firearms channel.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54There was a firearms incident going on.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59We were being drip-fed information.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03The information is that the gang turned on a lone officer,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06although it is understood he isn't badly hurt.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11One of the gang is still at large somewhere nearby.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17All of a sudden, we heard
0:26:17 > 0:26:23the second person was seen to be in the multistorey car park.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29A few more things were coming through, but at that stage,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I didn't know why we were looking for these individuals.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34You all right securing that there for us?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Chris, pull this down.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47A dog has been called in to help search the car park, but Martin doesn't want to wait.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52All right?
0:26:58 > 0:27:01The problem is, where he has gone in...
0:27:03 > 0:27:07He could have either gone over that fence where Martin has gone into,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11or there is a door that he could have come up. He could go higher.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Now the dog is in there, I won't go higher, because the dog will do the whole car park.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Back on the outskirts of Dunstable, the other runner being chased
0:27:23 > 0:27:27by the police, the hoodied car thief, has just been spotted again.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35I have a faint heat source in that wood.
0:27:35 > 0:27:42Officer on Beach Road, walking away from the panda, I want you to walk back another 50m.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Hold there, in case he pops out. He may pop out to your left.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49It's a false alarm - it is only Tanveer.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51It was me walking through initially, over.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54OK, visual of you now.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Despite their efforts and the helicopter's technology,
0:27:58 > 0:28:02the car crook has vanished without trace.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09He is here. He is hiding in here somewhere.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11He is obviously taking cover.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14It is difficult for the helicopter to pick up a heat source.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19Especially some of the areas, the undergrowth, it is difficult for them to pick up a heat source.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26But, thankfully, the cops have a lead on who the lad is.
0:28:26 > 0:28:32The passenger caught and arrested in the crashed stolen car has given them the name of a local teenager
0:28:32 > 0:28:36who is well-known for burglary and car theft.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40This information came from the passenger to 315.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43He said it might be worth putting out a Tannoy, over.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46We've got a name for the driver, we've got a name.
0:28:46 > 0:28:51Hopefully, we put a Tannoy out with his name on it, it may lure him out.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52This is the police helicopter...
0:28:52 > 0:28:56The Tannoy is another great bit of chopper technology.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59A 700-watt loudspeaker system.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02This is the police helicopter...
0:29:02 > 0:29:08INDISTINCT SPEECH OVER TANNOY
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Give yourself up now.
0:29:10 > 0:29:16So that message went on for a couple of minutes, a few times, but it didn't work.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18He just literally disappeared.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23We have reviewed the video, we have him going into the woods.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26We never saw him come out.
0:29:26 > 0:29:31It is not often someone on foot escapes a police chopper and a police dog.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Extremely thick undergrowth and brambles.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38I have searched it as best as I can.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41The dog is struggling as well at times.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45There is another problem - now the chopper is running on empty.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50I'm running out of fuel now. I'm going to have to leave.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53I will leave it up to you. Good luck.
0:29:53 > 0:29:58However, as they now know who it is, they will issue an arrest warrant
0:29:58 > 0:30:03- and pick him up round his house instead.- We knew who he was.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06It was only a matter of time before he would be detained.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10If he wasn't detained that day. It's just nice if I could have had him that day.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20There's no need for any more beating around the bushes in Luton -
0:30:20 > 0:30:23the cops have had better luck.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27They have found the lad who was hiding in the multistorey car park.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33He's the last to be rounded up after the altercation in the town centre.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38It was some sort of scuffle and an emergency button was pressed.
0:30:38 > 0:30:44They have two detained. This lad has made off, but we have no idea what he has done yet.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46That's him. We got him.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49I don't know what for, but we got him.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57Back in the control room, they are managing to piece together what exactly happened earlier.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04Just out of view of the CCTV cameras, an officer on his own
0:31:04 > 0:31:07was viciously set upon by four youths.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12While he wrestled with two of them, a pair of Good Samaritans have tried to help.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16A taxi driver, in the red shirt, and a passer-by,
0:31:16 > 0:31:19who has an assailant that's been cuffed pinned on the floor.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27To know one of your colleagues has been assaulted is a horrible feeling.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Almost a sickly feeling.
0:31:30 > 0:31:37But when it is someone from the unit that you are a lot closer to, because we are a very close unit,
0:31:37 > 0:31:40it's more deep-seated, sickly feeling.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Tim? Where is George Street West?
0:31:43 > 0:31:48News has come in that their colleague who was assaulted has taken a turn for the worse.
0:31:48 > 0:31:54He's managed to get through to say he's suffering a delayed reaction.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58All we knew, that he was on his own and we just wanted to get to him.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02You don't know to what degree he's been assaulted.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05You need make sure he's OK.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07It's a race against time to find him.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- Oh.- Ohh.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28Are you all right? Are you all right, mate? What happened?
0:32:32 > 0:32:37- 24.- Martin and Chris's colleague isn't 100%.- 24.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- 24.- Nor, still, are the radios.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Golf Alpha 24, urgent.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50146 has been kicked in the head. He's got a head injury.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Let the ambulance know, please, get them to hurry up.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01All right, mate. Don't worry. Don't worry.
0:33:03 > 0:33:09- All right, son. Don't worry. - His being sick is not because of Ramadan, like Tanveer.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12It's much more serious. It's a symptom of concussion.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16He is an extremely fit lad.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20To see him as pale as he was in the face, deflated and shocked...
0:33:20 > 0:33:25To see him in that state, it was a shock to me.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27It wasn't nice at all.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31He is conscious, he is breathing, he's very light-headed.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35The officer, who, because of fears for his safety can't be identified,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38is thought to have disturbed the gang while they were burgling a pub.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41One of them has then fought with the policeman when he went to arrest them.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46We didn't hear a thing, seriously.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50During the Taser, there were too many people in the way.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54The other three jumped me to stop me getting to him.
0:33:54 > 0:34:00As we were laying on the floor, struggling and I'm trying to put handcuffs on him,
0:34:00 > 0:34:07one of the group of three have come along and basically toe-punted me to the side of my head.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Ironically, it was a chance encounter,
0:34:09 > 0:34:14which happened whilst a separate enquiry for another European arrest warrant was being made.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19It is scary, because you don't know what people are intending to do.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22At this point, this group are hell-bent on getting away,
0:34:22 > 0:34:28which suggests to me if they are that intent on getting away, they have done something serious.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31At that point, they could have done anything they wanted.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34If they had drawn a knife, I would never have seen it.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41This is where it is six or seven minutes old in terms of length of incident,
0:34:41 > 0:34:43and still no-one has come to help.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48No-one was responding to me.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50So for all intents and purposes, I was on my own.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54In 2007, a PC was stabbed to death
0:34:54 > 0:34:58in one of Luton's main shopping streets.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01You certainly don't get paid enough to be assaulted.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04You don't expect to come to work and have to deal with it,
0:35:04 > 0:35:08although given the nature of the people we are dealing with,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11it's now a frequent occurrence.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15I think that's the worrying thing, that you've now got
0:35:15 > 0:35:18groups of people, groups of young men,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22whatever race or religion they're from,
0:35:22 > 0:35:27that are now prepared to actually see a police officer on their own
0:35:27 > 0:35:30and think, "We're going to have a go here."
0:35:30 > 0:35:33You said also that you've been stabbed in your arm.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Yeah, down here.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38You can move your fingers, though, can't you? No pins and needles?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41I have no issues working on my own at all.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43I have no issues in being single crews.
0:35:43 > 0:35:49But I have major issues with the way in which current policing cuts
0:35:49 > 0:35:53are going to affect the way in which we police.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57That type of incident is more likely to be a regular occurrence.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Even being armed with a Taser sometimes is of no use.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12The Taser couldn't be used
0:36:12 > 0:36:16due to the fact there was more of a risk to me losing the Taser
0:36:16 > 0:36:18and being a victim of it,
0:36:18 > 0:36:23rather than being able to use it to effect arrest.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Fortunately, despite his kick in the head,
0:36:25 > 0:36:29the officer has remembered where he first came across his assailants.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30We're coming back as well.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34They're gone to the Black Horse. It is the King's Arms, we think.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Yes.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Thanks very much. Thank you for your help.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41While the injured officer goes for a hospital check-up,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44his mates are off to the pub, the King's Arms.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57After another hectic day, it's literally time for break-fast,
0:36:57 > 0:36:59for those observing the rules of Ramadan.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Corn Flakes, though, are not on tonight's menu.
0:37:06 > 0:37:12When the sun goes down, we head for the nearest takeaway or home
0:37:12 > 0:37:15and literally eat until we can't eat any more.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Can we have three chicken tikkas, fresh naan?
0:37:18 > 0:37:23Just do us a bit of doner meat on top, if you don't mind.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28After no food or drink for 16 hours, only one thing will do for Tanveer.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32I don't mind a chicken tikka, I'm not too fond of shish for some reason,
0:37:32 > 0:37:36but it's doner kebab with the salad, peppers, a bit of lemon juice,
0:37:36 > 0:37:38a bit of salt...goes down well.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44About a thousand and one takeaways along that stretch.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47I've been in there and I've purchased food and stuff like that,
0:37:47 > 0:37:51and the people behind the counter and everybody else is,
0:37:51 > 0:37:53"How are you? How's work? Busy day?"
0:37:53 > 0:37:59The community understands what I do, but it all comes back to respect.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02You have to respect somebody in order to earn respect.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04It's not a one-way thing.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Because I'm wearing this uniform, I'm not better than anybody else.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13The King's Arms in Luton, it turns out,
0:38:13 > 0:38:16has recently been burnt out.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18The cops are hoping a search of it will shed light
0:38:18 > 0:38:23on why the men seen there earlier turned so violent.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27What we needed to do was go in there to find out
0:38:27 > 0:38:30what was of attraction to these lads.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42I wonder if that's what they were after.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47The pub is either haunted, or Martin and Chris are not alone.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Who's upstairs? It's the police!
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Bird?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03I don't know, you know.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07Police officers! Make yourself known!
0:39:10 > 0:39:12BANGING
0:39:12 > 0:39:15We suddenly started hearing footsteps
0:39:15 > 0:39:18of somebody possibly running above a loft hatch.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- So, believing there was somebody else actually inside...- Chris?
0:39:22 > 0:39:24There's movement, coming this side.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Taser drawn, Chris is taking no chances.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32It has quite a powerful torch at the front,
0:39:32 > 0:39:35but it also emanates a laser dot.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38So by shining that up into the loft hatch,
0:39:38 > 0:39:40you get the laser as well.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42It's a bit of an incentive.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44If we've got somebody up there hiding from us,
0:39:44 > 0:39:46we need to get them down.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51But they may already be down, round the back, outside.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54Serious? Don't mess about?
0:39:54 > 0:39:56Honestly. Don't go in there until you're sure.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00Are you all right here?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04All of a sudden, this guy
0:40:04 > 0:40:07who I can only describe as Jack Sparrow,
0:40:07 > 0:40:10the living Jack Sparrow, comes up to us.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12I've got nothing to hide.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- Go on.- Will do.- Go, do one.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18All right, bro. What's going on here, then?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20It doesn't matter. Go!
0:40:20 > 0:40:23I tell you what, go away or you're going to get yourself lifted. Go on!
0:40:23 > 0:40:30- It's all right. It's well burnt out! - Go! Move! Go! Go! Go!
0:40:30 > 0:40:34It's well burnt out there. Why are they going up there?
0:40:34 > 0:40:38- Mate, you seriously need to go now. - I seriously need to go?
0:40:38 > 0:40:40You do. Otherwise, you're going to get nicked.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Why am I going to get nicked?
0:40:42 > 0:40:45You're obstructing us. You've opened the door of the police car.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48- I'm obstructing you?- Go away. - Why? Are you going over there?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Go away! HE LAUGHS
0:40:51 > 0:40:55I've obstructed him from going somewhere!
0:40:58 > 0:41:00It's your last chance, mate.
0:41:04 > 0:41:05With only the old safe inside,
0:41:05 > 0:41:09the cops will be weighing anchor as well.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12We cleared it and there was nobody in there.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Whether it was a haunted pub or not, or a big rat,
0:41:15 > 0:41:19we're not really too sure, but obviously it had to be looked at.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25At the police station in Luton, the officer assaulted near the pub earlier
0:41:25 > 0:41:29is back from being looked at in hospital.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37HE CHUCKLES
0:41:37 > 0:41:38He's not there, mate.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43Martin started having a bit of banter.
0:41:43 > 0:41:48When banter begins, and his personality starts coming out,
0:41:48 > 0:41:52it's reassuring that he's getting back to his old self and beginning to recover.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57His clothes have been seized purely for evidence purposes,
0:41:57 > 0:42:00along with that of the offenders' as well.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02So if they deny ever being in contact with him,
0:42:02 > 0:42:07forensics can look at possible DNA or fibre transfer.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11When we went to hospital, and the doctor said...
0:42:11 > 0:42:14she checked my ears and said she wanted me to go for a CT scan.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- Now they've taken my clothes off me! - The main thing is you're all right.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- I appreciate your help.- No worries.
0:42:21 > 0:42:27I absolutely commend Martin for the way that he actually restrained
0:42:27 > 0:42:31and effectively defended himself and fought with those...
0:42:31 > 0:42:34certainly three of them that I saw on the CCTV,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37for the amount of time that he did.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40You know, Martin, at a point there, was, I believe,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42fighting for survival.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51On the outskirts of Luton,
0:42:51 > 0:42:55some more traffic cops are running low on fuel.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Sergeant Tony Richardson and PC Sam Sparks
0:42:58 > 0:43:01need some for their patrol car and themselves.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04I'm going to go and get some petrol
0:43:04 > 0:43:06because I've just seen how much we've got left.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10- Not a lot. - We've got 45 miles' worth.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14- I'm going to buy some Red Bull. - Red Bull?
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Yes. I had a litre of it last night...
0:43:17 > 0:43:20You know we can have a coffee here, don't you?
0:43:20 > 0:43:24I was very tired and the mention of coffee was made
0:43:24 > 0:43:27and Red Bull, which means staying-awake juice.
0:43:27 > 0:43:32With the tank full, Sam's going for her wings.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35We were approached by a young Asian chap.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38He was very chatty but, to be fair, very drunk.
0:43:38 > 0:43:42And he made some comment, "I'm really drunk, I've driven here."
0:43:42 > 0:43:47But at that time, there were no other cars on the forecourt, other than our car.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52Even so, Sam and Tony are betting their bottom dollar
0:43:52 > 0:43:53the man has driven here.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57We're not going far. We're just going to go over the road.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59They're going to sit up and wait out of sight
0:43:59 > 0:44:01and see if they're onto a winner.
0:44:01 > 0:44:05- Where are we going to sit? - Just over there.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08But unless the man gets in a car and then drives,
0:44:08 > 0:44:10all bets will be off.
0:44:10 > 0:44:16We have the offence of being in charge of a motor vehicle
0:44:16 > 0:44:23whilst unfit, but it is easier and better evidence
0:44:23 > 0:44:26to actually show that someone is driving.
0:44:31 > 0:44:36We're just keeping out of the way at the moment so he doesn't see us.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40So we can allow him to get to his vehicle, if he is going to make off.
0:44:46 > 0:44:50Sure enough, the man has got a vehicle hidden round the corner.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
0:44:52 > 0:44:57Sam and Tony's hunch was spot-on. They've hit the jackpot.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03As he got into it, then we made our move
0:45:03 > 0:45:07to actually stop him if he moved off. Sure enough, he moved off.
0:45:07 > 0:45:091261?
0:45:09 > 0:45:12Yeah, we've got to follow.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15Foxtrot, Mike, Zero, Four, Lima, November, Juliet.
0:45:15 > 0:45:20Possible OPL. Sundon Park Road. Stand by.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25MESSAGE OVER RADIO
0:45:26 > 0:45:29Oh, hang on. No, no, no.
0:45:32 > 0:45:33OK, go.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37'Confirm you've got a vehicle failing to stop, over?'
0:45:37 > 0:45:41- Vehicle's stopped, one in custody. - Oi, pack it in.
0:45:41 > 0:45:45The driver's paralytic, no need for a roadside breath test.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49- He's coming quietly. - I've got it, I've got it.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52You're under arrest on suspicion of driving whilst over the prescribed limit.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
0:45:55 > 0:45:58if you don't mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03'1261?'
0:46:05 > 0:46:061261, one in custody.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10'He smelt very strongly of intoxicating liquor,
0:46:10 > 0:46:11'so we knew he was drunk.'
0:46:11 > 0:46:14It was just to what extent.
0:46:15 > 0:46:19That will be determined by testing him at the nick.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28- You're not going to be sick, are you?- What for?
0:46:30 > 0:46:32- Why would I be sick, man? - HE MUMBLES
0:46:32 > 0:46:35I wasn't asking you to be sick. I was saying you won't be sick.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38No, but my hands feel a bit uncomfortable.
0:46:38 > 0:46:43Ah, well. They'll be off soon. Have you been arrested before?
0:46:43 > 0:46:44- Who?- You.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47- Me to know, you to find out, innit?- OK.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51- Don't need to give you no details, nothing like that.- OK.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55Now he's in the back of the car, he's not coming so quietly after all.
0:46:55 > 0:46:59Listen, I'm not reaching out to you. You don't need to take your seat belt off to me.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02- Sit back.- What? I'm sitting forward to you.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04I'm not shagging you, am I?
0:47:04 > 0:47:07- No, you're quite right, you're not.- So?
0:47:07 > 0:47:10- What you- BLEEP- like, know what I mean?
0:47:10 > 0:47:12'In the back of the car, he was really vile.'
0:47:12 > 0:47:17He was really rude, and I think was trying to provoke a reaction to get me angry.
0:47:17 > 0:47:21- You won't take that in the TV, will it?- Be quiet.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24See? You don't like it, do you, officers?
0:47:24 > 0:47:26- You don't like it, do you? - I don't like you.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29- You don't like your own- BLEEP - medicine, do you?- Calm down!
0:47:29 > 0:47:33- Yeah, why? Why should I calm down? - He just was nonstop.
0:47:33 > 0:47:38It was eff this and eff that. The expletives that were coming out of him.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40Then when we got to the police station,
0:47:40 > 0:47:45he then concentrated on sexual innuendos towards Sam.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47Make it proper.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50No, I don't shag your mum.
0:47:51 > 0:47:55- Be quiet.- Yeah. Does any...- Yes?
0:47:55 > 0:47:59- You're boring me now. - Am I boring? How am I boring you?
0:47:59 > 0:48:01The man seems to have a problem with women.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04I think he had a distinct hatred towards women,
0:48:04 > 0:48:07especially the policewoman that had just arrested him.
0:48:07 > 0:48:08Put your foot down.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15Yeah, you want to see my dick?
0:48:15 > 0:48:16- I don't have to give- BLEEP- all to you.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18What are you going to do to me? Nothing!
0:48:24 > 0:48:27After breaking his fast and satisfying his hunger,
0:48:27 > 0:48:30Tanveer's also heading to a petrol station.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32He's after a cuppa...
0:48:32 > 0:48:33HE YAWNS
0:48:33 > 0:48:37..to keep himself awake.
0:48:37 > 0:48:42I was on my way to the BP to grab a cup of tea.
0:48:42 > 0:48:48As I pulled onto the forecourt, I noticed a bike over to the left, parked up.
0:48:50 > 0:48:51And I looked into the shop floor
0:48:51 > 0:48:54and standing by the counter was this male.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01As he looked out and I looked at him, for some reason I thought,
0:49:01 > 0:49:04"Yeah, he's had alcohol. He's consumed alcohol."
0:49:04 > 0:49:08This bloke who was standing there looks pissed as a fart,
0:49:08 > 0:49:09but I can't see any car.
0:49:09 > 0:49:13The motorbike outside must be his.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16As I went in, he passed me and got onto the bike.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21I very quickly spoke to the staff.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24They said he'd purchased some cigarettes,
0:49:24 > 0:49:28and the staff mentioned that it appeared to them
0:49:28 > 0:49:31that he might have consumed alcohol.
0:49:34 > 0:49:39As I came out, he sat on the bike, smoking a cigarette,
0:49:39 > 0:49:43which to me straight away said, "Look at me, I'm nervous, I'm trying to hide something."
0:49:43 > 0:49:48Because anybody with a bit of common sense wouldn't smoke a cigarette
0:49:48 > 0:49:50on a forecourt, would they? Let's be honest.
0:49:52 > 0:49:56As I pulled out of the forecourt, he then followed me,
0:49:56 > 0:49:59and then he went past me as I pulled to the left.
0:49:59 > 0:50:04Tanveer's decided it's time to have a word.
0:50:04 > 0:50:05I tried to stop him...
0:50:06 > 0:50:08..but I think he had other ideas.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14Chasing people on motorbikes is always risky.
0:50:14 > 0:50:18Chasing drunks on motorbikes even more so.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21Tanveer needs permission to carry on from his boss,
0:50:21 > 0:50:25the control room inspector, call sign Oscar.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28'With motorcycles, motorbikes, it's difficult,
0:50:28 > 0:50:32'because the pursuit criteria's different.
0:50:32 > 0:50:37'I informed control room that it was a motorbike,
0:50:37 > 0:50:41'and this is the speed that he was doing, there's no other vehicles.
0:50:41 > 0:50:45'The inspector, the Oscars up there, were happy for me to pursue the vehicle.'
0:50:45 > 0:50:49A vehicle failing to stop, it's Kilo, Uniform, Five, Six...
0:50:49 > 0:50:51'When he started to weave and he was failing to stop,
0:50:51 > 0:50:55'I'm thinking, "Yeah, this guy has consumed alcohol." He does not want to be caught.'
0:50:55 > 0:51:01We're just entering Riverfield Drive, towards Darlington Road.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04It is some sort of motorbike.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08Mixed-race male, wearing a helmet.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11Approaching the roundabout, stand by.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25He's just been into Bury Walk.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29Tanveer is out of luck.
0:51:29 > 0:51:33Another one's gone off-road and, this time, he can't follow.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38358, he's gone in to Bury Walk,
0:51:38 > 0:51:43and it looks like he's turned right into...
0:51:43 > 0:51:47I think it's towards Bedford Town Cricket Club.
0:51:47 > 0:51:51It's just a matter of having that local knowledge and getting other units in the area,
0:51:51 > 0:51:54and plotting up and hoping that it's going to pop out somewhere.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59Back at the police station,
0:51:59 > 0:52:02the drunk driver with a bad attitude towards women
0:52:02 > 0:52:06has had a man assigned to finish his alcohol testing procedure.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09- Custody record, please, Sam?- 4766.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12Have you, since the time of the alleged offence,
0:52:12 > 0:52:16consumed any or used any of the following things, and, if so, what?
0:52:16 > 0:52:18Any alcohol?
0:52:20 > 0:52:24Who's he talking to? Is he talking to you or something like that?
0:52:24 > 0:52:26I can't understand him, I need an interpreter.
0:52:26 > 0:52:29I can't understand what he's saying to me.
0:52:31 > 0:52:32I can't understand you, mate.
0:52:32 > 0:52:36Have you smoked within the last five minutes?
0:52:39 > 0:52:42- Have you smoked...?- Not deaf and dumb. What are you saying?
0:52:42 > 0:52:44I can't understand him.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47The man's been here and done it all before.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50He's a person that's known and has actually been convicted
0:52:50 > 0:52:52of failing to provide specimen of breath for roadside analysis
0:52:52 > 0:52:54and at the station.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56He knew the score, he knew what he was going to do.
0:52:56 > 0:53:01I warn you that failing to provide either of these specimens will render you liable to prosecution.
0:53:01 > 0:53:05Do you agree to provide two specimens of breath for analysis?
0:53:06 > 0:53:07No understand.
0:53:08 > 0:53:12Last chance, hero. Are you going to give me any breath?
0:53:12 > 0:53:16- I need an interpreter. I don't understand what you're saying.- All right.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19- See you later.- Come this way. - That's it?- Yeah, go.
0:53:20 > 0:53:25Failing to provide is just a way of concealing how much has been drunk,
0:53:25 > 0:53:27but the unpleasant man will be charged anyway.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30'He was incredibly obnoxious.
0:53:30 > 0:53:34'I've not come across one like him for a long, long time.'
0:53:34 > 0:53:37It's just good to know that we've got a drink driver off the streets for a while.
0:53:37 > 0:53:42Sam's colleague Tanveer is still hoping to get the biker
0:53:42 > 0:53:45who fled from the garage off the streets.
0:53:45 > 0:53:50It might depend on whether or not he was caught on CCTV.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53I went back to the garage to try and speak to the staff
0:53:53 > 0:53:56in relation to CCTV, because every forecourt has CCTV.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59As you enter the store, there was CCTV in the store,
0:53:59 > 0:54:01continually recording.
0:54:04 > 0:54:08The footage shows the lad came in for some cigarettes.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11He purchased some cigarettes to the value of £5.77.
0:54:13 > 0:54:17I think he initially just paid 77p and started to walk off.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20The staff just made mention that he owed another £5,
0:54:20 > 0:54:22which he promptly paid,
0:54:22 > 0:54:26and it was at that point they suspected he had something to drink.
0:54:27 > 0:54:32I think for the next 40, 45 minutes, there were two sightings of him.
0:54:32 > 0:54:37The first sighting was literally the other side of the field where I had last seen him.
0:54:37 > 0:54:41The other sighting was actually in the village of Great Barford.
0:54:41 > 0:54:44We took up a static point not far from Great Barford,
0:54:44 > 0:54:46hoping he would come past.
0:54:46 > 0:54:51Every time there was a sighting, we would head in that direction to see if we can locate him.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54Playing the waiting game has paid off.
0:54:54 > 0:54:59It's now in Great Barford, making off from another police officer,
0:54:59 > 0:55:02or a police officer in the vehicle.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04So we'll now head off to Great Barford.
0:55:08 > 0:55:12He was seen hiding in the back garden of a house,
0:55:12 > 0:55:14where he was detained.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17Yeah, that's him.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21- This is the chap...- This is who we saw in the filling station.
0:55:21 > 0:55:25- Hello, mate. You all right? - This is the guy who ran off from me.
0:55:26 > 0:55:29- Come on, mate, don't play that game. - I honestly don't.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31- I saw you in the filling station. - In where?
0:55:31 > 0:55:34In the filling station, Newnham Avenue.
0:55:34 > 0:55:38The biker's donned a hoodie, and is claiming it's a case of mistaken identity,
0:55:38 > 0:55:40but he isn't fooling Tanveer.
0:55:40 > 0:55:44No, I recognise your face. I don't care what you're wearing.
0:55:44 > 0:55:48Driver said he was wearing a grey hoodie with a cycle jacket on underneath.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52- And the white trainers. Right, nice disguise. Come on, mate. - We've seen the CCTV, so...
0:55:52 > 0:55:56Look out, look out, look out. Have a seat.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59'He was a bit of a naughty boy back in the day.
0:55:59 > 0:56:01'He then took the right path,
0:56:01 > 0:56:07'and last we heard, he was going around local schools, speaking to youngsters
0:56:07 > 0:56:12'about how to stay out of local gangs and not get involved in crime.'
0:56:12 > 0:56:16And, obviously, be good at school, and do your education.
0:56:16 > 0:56:21So, um... Yeah. That's what he was doing.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24Clearly he's forgotten the message about practise what you preach.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29Another nail in the biker's coffin has been found.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31How many has he got in there?
0:56:31 > 0:56:34- He'd have probably had two or three. - Yeah.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37That's the packet he bought from the filling station.
0:56:37 > 0:56:40- Yeah. £5 and how much was it? £5.77?- I don't know.
0:56:40 > 0:56:43Yeah. All right, mate. Pull the other one.
0:56:45 > 0:56:47- Right, see you back there. - Yeah, no worries, mate.
0:56:49 > 0:56:53The bike rider's cigarettes turned out to be rather expensive
0:56:53 > 0:56:57after a £300 fine was added to his late-night shopping bill
0:56:57 > 0:57:00for drink-driving and for failing to stop for the police.
0:57:00 > 0:57:04His licence was also taken away for 12 months.
0:57:06 > 0:57:09It turned out the drunk driver was driving whilst already banned,
0:57:09 > 0:57:15incredibly for being caught drinking and driving six times in the last seven years.
0:57:15 > 0:57:19On this occasion, he was sent straight to prison for six months
0:57:19 > 0:57:22and given a further driving ban of five years.
0:57:26 > 0:57:32The teenage car thief who made Tanveer sick was arrested at his home three days afterwards.
0:57:32 > 0:57:37He was sentenced to an 18-month youth rehabilitation order for stealing the car,
0:57:37 > 0:57:40and disqualified from driving for a year.
0:57:44 > 0:57:48The highly charged male who was arrested at Taser-point for allegedly spitting at a neighbour
0:57:48 > 0:57:51wasn't electrocuted, or prosecuted either,
0:57:51 > 0:57:54after all the charges against him were dropped.
0:57:57 > 0:58:02The Polish hit-and-run driver was flown home a week after his arrest
0:58:02 > 0:58:04and is currently serving four years in prison
0:58:04 > 0:58:07for causing the death of another motorist.
0:58:08 > 0:58:12One of the young men who fought with the police officer pleaded guilty to assault,
0:58:12 > 0:58:15and was given a youth rehabilitation order.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18Two others were handed referral orders.
0:58:18 > 0:58:21But the booty they may have been after in the burnt-out pub
0:58:21 > 0:58:24turned out not to be pieces of eight after all.
0:58:24 > 0:58:25The safe was empty.
0:58:25 > 0:58:28# Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!
0:58:28 > 0:58:30# Ha ha ha! #
