:12:51. > :12:54.The absence of a manufacturer's mark gives it away. For whatever
:12:54. > :12:58.reason, he's got the wrong number plate on it. So it's a little bit
:12:58. > :13:00.strange at the minute. But it's a nice car. We don't see many of
:13:00. > :13:05.these around. There's something very funny about the number plate.
:13:05. > :13:15.It says it's not a Lamborghini Murcielago at all. It's a Peugeot

:13:18. > :13:22.406. It has got the Lamborghini bodyshell on Nov. -- now. He says
:13:22. > :13:28.he is just driven it back from the show. He said whoever was at the
:13:28. > :13:31.show, put the number plates on. No, no, he's had it a while.
:13:31. > :13:34.Stainton believes the car hasn't been stolen to order but he's less
:13:34. > :13:38.than convinced about the owner's reason for using false plates. And
:13:38. > :13:42.has got his own theory about them. I think he's done it to evade speed
:13:42. > :13:47.cameras probably. But I'll have a chat with him. He seems to have
:13:47. > :13:57.calmed down. Most of the time it's done to evade prosecution, I have
:13:57. > :14:00.no doubt. He is trying to avoid prosecution. However, every dog has
:14:00. > :14:05.its day. We will stop those vehicles and we will find out the

:14:26. > :14:30.end. Sadly, the man's hospitality doesn't include a spin in his nice
:14:30. > :14:40.motor. I would like to have a go in his vehicle but looking at the size

:15:03. > :15:09.keys, the cops are going to have to wait for a tow truck. Regardless of
:15:09. > :15:16.what was happening, we were taking that vehicle. Throughout the whole
:15:16. > :15:26.time we were there, it remained quite volatile. Shouting, swearing,
:15:26. > :15:28.
:15:28. > :15:38.spitting, throwing eggs. Caroll's teeth are still on edge.
:15:38. > :15:40.
:15:40. > :15:45.He lost three teeth in all. Up to 15 police officers were on the site.

:15:50. > :15:54.as quickly as possible, the majority of those officers are
:15:54. > :16:04.released to go to the general members of public who are crying
:16:04. > :16:08.out for our help. After midnight, there's a different sort of
:16:08. > :16:13.pressure for the cops. It's a time when crime increases as
:16:13. > :16:15.opportunists take advantage of the dark, quiet streets. Fortunately,
:16:15. > :16:25.for PCs Dave Stevenson and Alex Weekes, the night's been
:16:25. > :16:32.uncharacteristically quiet, so far. Getting into the wee small hours.
:16:32. > :16:42.It has been quite a strange night. Not a lot has been happening. We
:16:42. > :16:43.
:16:43. > :16:47.are at a low ebb. Then a call came in. The caller has been burgled,
:16:47. > :16:50.and not only have his car keys been stolen, but he's been relieved of
:16:51. > :16:59.his car as well. The vehicle had been stolen as part of what we call
:16:59. > :17:05.a hanoi burglary. It is a two in one burglary where someone goes
:17:05. > :17:12.into the house and takes the car keys and start the car. It's been
:17:12. > :17:20.taken from very nearby, by someone the owner knows. We were looking

:19:12. > :19:17.person until a second person got out of the passenger side. You feel
:19:17. > :19:23.like it is almost slow-motion. You know what is coming. I thought the
:19:24. > :19:28.driver was going to get himself run over because he left himself
:19:28. > :19:35.rolling. The passenger has not quickly gone out of the cart and
:19:35. > :19:44.gone, he delays a couple of seconds. The car rolls further before it
:19:44. > :19:52.comes to a stop. I am in a position to stop it, get out and go after
:19:52. > :19:58.him. The driver hurdles a 4.5 foot fence. He is a way, like a whippet

:20:14. > :20:19.right.. But there's only the drain to the right, and it's the size of
:20:19. > :20:25.a small river. And he's jumped right into it. I lost the passenger

:20:41. > :20:48.straight into the water. Stay with him. I am talking to the Mail. We
:20:48. > :20:54.are returning to our vehicle to get a lifeline. He cannot get up. The
:20:54. > :21:02.banks are too high. I tried to get a sighting of him. Are you all
:21:02. > :21:10.right? Keep talking to me. He goes completely silent. Left, directly
:21:10. > :21:20.down in front of you. I will talk to him. The male in the water is

:21:37. > :21:40.Myself and Mark Green, we pulled I will update them that we got him
:21:40. > :21:43.out. The lad's been rescued from drowning in the drain but what he
:21:43. > :21:47.was doing in there in the first place is a complete mystery. He's
:21:47. > :21:56.denying he had anything to do with the stolen Peugeot. It was quite
:21:56. > :22:00.funny. You have seen him run from the car, go into the water, the
:22:00. > :22:02.ticket out of the water and he is still saying it is not him. With
:22:02. > :22:12.the driver safely detained, the crew of the police helicopter
:22:12. > :22:18.overhead are setting about finding his passenger. We have a mail
:22:18. > :22:23.coming out of the avenue. Things played into our hands. There were
:22:23. > :22:26.no buildings in the way. We had a clear shot of where he came out.
:22:26. > :22:34.Most car thieves know they can't outrun the eye in the sky,
:22:34. > :22:40.certainly not on foot, but this one's giving it a try anyway.
:22:40. > :22:46.he heard the engines, that is when he tried to hide from us. The
:22:46. > :22:54.camera locked on to him. He is in a bush. With thermal imaging you

:23:04. > :23:09.
:23:10. > :23:16.as well. He ran past the top of the avenue. Because we had offloaded
:23:16. > :23:23.the drive up into the van, we were in a position to conveying the
:23:23. > :23:26.passenger. -- driver. There's less risk being a passenger in a stolen
:23:26. > :23:33.car. They will usually get off more lightly than a driver. They are
:23:33. > :23:38.still a catch well worth suffering a bit of nettle rash for, though.
:23:38. > :23:44.Both my legs were stinging. The bottom part of my forearm were
:23:44. > :23:49.covered in an red rash for the next 24 hours. We heard about those
:23:49. > :23:54.nettle stings for the rest of the night. I have heard about them
:23:54. > :24:03.since that time! Unlike his pal, the passenger's singing. This young
:24:03. > :24:09.lad just wanted to talk. He kept saying things like, I was in bed. I

:25:07. > :25:09.The biggest risk for car thieves is being spotted by the cops, so, to
:25:09. > :25:13.deflect attention away from themselves, they will often put
:25:13. > :25:22.false plates on and try and look like a normal driver in a normal
:25:22. > :25:28.vehicle. But it doesn't always work. Papa 479. Young lad in it. Two
:25:28. > :25:31.females. And we just didn't like the look of it. Picking out the
:25:31. > :25:41.suspicious looking from the normal is second nature to PC Stainton.
:25:41. > :25:45.We've done various checks. It has come back as a vehicle which did

:29:09. > :29:10.
:29:10. > :29:13.are waiting for him. We popped all the tyres. Even with burst tyres,
:29:13. > :29:17.this driver still has no intention of pulling over. We're still
:29:17. > :29:20.failing to stop but we do have marked cars around it. And he
:29:20. > :29:30.thinks he's found an escape route round the back of an antiques
:29:30. > :29:47.
:29:47. > :29:52.dealers. Stop, stop, stop. Minor I think the driver deliberately
:29:52. > :29:56.went to knock the dog over. He clearly hit the Dog and pushed it
:29:56. > :30:00.towards the wall of the antique dealer. You can see his claws on
:30:00. > :30:06.the bonnet and he pushes it and its skids across the floor next to the
:30:06. > :30:10.wall. We are trying to get the driver at this point. As he does
:30:10. > :30:16.that, he squashes the officer between the parked vehicle and
:30:16. > :30:19.another vehicle. You can see him at rolling along the vehicle.
:30:19. > :30:23.squashed officer is the dog handler and he's had a narrower escape than
:30:23. > :30:30.his dog. Had it not been for the black vehicle being hit and moved,

:30:36. > :30:40.was determined to get away and was going to do anything. He reverses,
:30:40. > :30:45.collides with another vehicle and eventually, then, we managed to
:30:45. > :30:52.stop the vehicle, subdue the drive and get him out. The two girls in
:30:52. > :30:58.the back of the vehicle, teenagers, both terrified. Afterwards, they
:30:59. > :31:04.had been screaming at him the, it became apparent, for him to stop.

:32:27. > :32:28.
:32:28. > :32:32.no exception. Every time we are deployed to the street, we are
:32:33. > :32:42.surprised -- supplied with an intelligent pack of local people to
:32:43. > :32:44.
:32:44. > :32:48.This gentleman was on our daily briefing pack. He was a
:32:48. > :32:51.disqualified driver and he was linked to possible drug dealing in
:32:51. > :32:59.his local street. The street is in Grimsby and the distinctive-looking
:32:59. > :33:05.man being sought has already been spotted, driving illegally.
:33:05. > :33:12.wears quite thick glasses. I think they were damaged, as well, a bit
:33:12. > :33:16.like Jack Duckworth's glasses. We decided to spin on the vehicle to
:33:16. > :33:21.catch him driving disqualified but unfortunately, we didn't get around
:33:21. > :33:24.in time it would be tight street we were in, and he managed to evade
:33:24. > :33:31.initially being stopped, so we decided to go to his home address
:33:31. > :33:35.and as we drove down the street, he was on foot. It's probably too late
:33:35. > :33:38.to find any drugs on the suspect and proving he was actually driving
:33:38. > :33:45.may not be that easy either. He's not going to have anything on him
:33:45. > :33:50.now, is he? You don't understand, I've just walked from my house to
:33:50. > :33:57.the shops. He's not a happy chap. He makes his feelings very plain to
:33:58. > :34:07.us. This is surging you for controlled substances. Sir Jimmy?
:34:08. > :34:17.Calm down. -- searching me? Do you understand why a You are being
:34:17. > :34:24.detained? Why are you hand cupping We will be searching your vehicle,
:34:25. > :34:29.as well. We had just seen you driving it, you see. There's
:34:29. > :34:38.nothing on me at all. The man's been arrested for disqualified
:34:38. > :34:47.driving and is being searched under the Misuse of Drugs Act. I haven't
:34:47. > :34:51.been driving! Don't swear. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
:34:51. > :34:58.I've just come out of my mum's house and gone to the shop. Walking
:34:58. > :35:04.to the shop. You need to calm down. It would have changed my mind, no
:35:04. > :35:10.matter what he argued about. I was very confident.
:35:10. > :35:16.Calm down. Oh listen to me. By ranting and raving you're achieving
:35:16. > :35:26.absolutely nothing. This will be sorted out in the fullness of time,
:35:26. > :35:33.won't it? There is no point arguing. Sometimes people take us for fools
:35:33. > :35:37.sometimes. I'd just come from the shop. I don't think so, mate. I
:35:37. > :35:43.don't think so. Let's not be arguing in the street, shall we
:35:43. > :35:48.now? Dave hasn't got any drugs on him and he's still adamant he
:35:48. > :35:51.wasn't even in his car. I just walked from my house to the shop.
:35:51. > :35:59.No, but you don't understand, right. Yeah, I've just walked from my
:35:59. > :36:05.house to the shop. Daz is going to check out Dave's story. I was just
:36:05. > :36:09.curious. If it be in a supermarket, is quite distinctive jab, they
:36:09. > :36:15.would have remembered him. I spoke to the security guard, described
:36:15. > :36:21.him, and, not what I can remember, he says. I went to the front of the
:36:21. > :36:29.queue, spoke to the cashier, asked her the same question. No, not that
:36:29. > :36:33.I can remember. OK, fine. I think, rightly, I suspected he hadn't been
:36:33. > :36:40.in to the supermarket. While Dave cools off in the back of the Evo,
:36:40. > :36:46.the cops are going to see if anyone is in round his house. His mum was
:36:46. > :36:53.there and she more or less doubled him, really. Once again, mum knows
:36:53. > :36:58.best. She said, well, yeah, he's doing it all the time. It confirmed
:36:58. > :37:04.the fact he had been driving. There's another problem, Dave's
:37:04. > :37:14.escaped! The driver's rear door. Suddenly he was ranting and raving
:37:14. > :37:15.
:37:15. > :37:21.and charging down the corridor. Get out! Get out! Come out here.
:37:21. > :37:31.out of my mother's house! You are under arrest and you will do as you
:37:31. > :37:33.
:37:33. > :37:36.are told. Stand-up. You need to calm down. Get off me! Will you
:37:36. > :37:46.come down or will I have to get a than down here and put you in the
:37:46. > :37:50.
:37:50. > :37:55.A short oversight by as was that the child locks were not on and he
:37:55. > :38:00.went from the passenger side will be placed him, through the vehicle,
:38:00. > :38:08.and got out the driver's rear door. Dave has only run into a lot more
:38:08. > :38:15.trouble. Your mum said you came back from work in the car. Your dad
:38:15. > :38:21.is away at your sisters. Yeah. Shouting and screaming will only
:38:21. > :38:26.make it worse. I'm annoyed that he went into a mother's house.
:38:26. > :38:34.only person who kicked off was you. There's no need to go into my
:38:34. > :38:39.mother's house. We need to Secure the vehicle. My dad has got them.
:38:39. > :38:45.Why would your father have but keys? It is his car. It is my
:38:45. > :38:49.father's car. He will tell you that. No, he won't. Dave, or his dad's
:38:49. > :38:52.car, is going to be seized unless Dad, who is back in another car,
:38:52. > :38:55.can convince the cops they shouldn't take it. It proves beyond
:38:55. > :39:03.reasonable doubt his father was not driving the car. He was driving the
:39:03. > :39:13.car. I know where you're coming from. That is my car. I don't see
:39:13. > :39:13.
:39:13. > :39:23.why you should take my car. Just because he has been driving it. I'm
:39:23. > :39:27.not having you take it. It's �150, we are taking it. It is going to be
:39:27. > :39:32.recovered. I'm a pensioner, mate, I can't afford to. I understand that.
:39:32. > :39:36.The man's pleading isn't washing with Daz. He doesn't want to see
:39:36. > :39:42.his son in trouble and is not going to say that he has stolen his car.
:39:42. > :39:48.He doesn't want to be stung for �150. So, I can understand why he
:39:48. > :39:54.was angry. But, equally, he shouldn't have allowed his son to
:39:54. > :40:00.drive his car. But there's softness about Daz. I feel sorry for Dad,
:40:00. > :40:10.really. Can we cancel recovery or shall we carry on with it? He's on
:40:10. > :40:11.
:40:11. > :40:16.to his boss to see if the pensioner OK, that sounds good. I'm sure he
:40:16. > :40:20.will be pleased with that. I shall get on with that, thank you. At the
:40:20. > :40:25.end of the day, we are a public service and sometimes it does us no
:40:25. > :40:32.harm to yield, a little bit, sometimes, I think. Apply a bit of
:40:32. > :40:42.discretion, I think. Rather than having his dad paying 150p. If it
:40:42. > :40:47.
:40:47. > :40:57.Back in Hull, PC Clare Large is patrolling with PC Nick Beale. He's
:40:57. > :40:58.
:40:58. > :41:03.seen something out of the corner of his eye - trespassers. They look
:41:03. > :41:08.pretty young. The building is quite high, at least two stories. They
:41:08. > :41:12.shouldn't have been there. So we turned around and went in and on
:41:12. > :41:18.top of one of the factories, we found two or three kids on it to
:41:18. > :41:28.separate levels, on the top and on a smaller roof about 15 ft in the
:41:28. > :41:29.
:41:29. > :41:35.air. A couple of their friends have been caught at ground level. Tell
:41:35. > :41:40.them all to come down. Some of them tried to hide. Is he going to come
:41:40. > :41:44.down, then? Come here. Don't just wander off. PC Large is determined
:41:44. > :41:52.to bring the young climbers back down to earth. They just seemed to
:41:52. > :42:02.take it as a big joke. What are you doing up there, then? What have you
:42:02. > :42:03.
:42:03. > :42:13.just put down there? How old are Something else is up. Adam, come
:42:13. > :42:14.
:42:14. > :42:20.down now, please. Yd think it is clever to get up on to a roof? Do I
:42:20. > :42:26.get an answer from you? You think because you are on somebody's Ruth,
:42:26. > :42:35.chucking things off, which you can tried to deny, if you start getting
:42:35. > :42:43.to us at this age, it will continue. Adam is still continuing to defy
:42:43. > :42:51.the cops. You have five seconds to show yourself and come down. We you
:42:51. > :42:56.not be taking any exams this year? What will happen is, I will contact
:42:56. > :43:00.your parents, tell them what you're doing and to you are on a roof
:43:01. > :43:06.instead of studying for exams which will determine your future. We have
:43:06. > :43:12.to get a helicopter to make sure he is not on that Ruth. If he is, he
:43:12. > :43:17.has to come down. We cannot leave him there. We asked the helicopter
:43:17. > :43:22.to come but unfortunately they were engaged elsewhere. We had to get
:43:22. > :43:26.the Brigade to come and help us with their long ladders. We should
:43:26. > :43:30.not drive off thinking we had got everyone off the roof and then two
:43:30. > :43:35.hours later be called back to somebody being found having fallen
:43:35. > :43:37.off when you're trying to get down. The firemen have quickly managed to
:43:37. > :43:44.erect their ladder but, unfortunately, there's a slight
:43:44. > :43:47.complication. They are not going to climb up it! With neither the power
:43:47. > :43:56.of arrest nor the training to deal with offenders, they're handing the
:43:56. > :44:06.job back to the police. I found it bizarre. They are the experts with
:44:06. > :44:09.
:44:09. > :44:17.ladders and going on routes. -- roofs. It was deep. Fortunately it
:44:17. > :44:23.was not me that was going up, it was Nick. It was a solid roof.
:44:23. > :44:28.Nobody was there. I think they went down the other side - down a
:44:28. > :44:34.drainpipe. I know you are young and you do not know -- you do not know
:44:34. > :44:41.what you want to do with your life but trust me, this is not what you
:44:41. > :44:46.want to do. There are plenty of bad people out there for me to catch
:44:46. > :44:56.during bad stuff. They were just kids that should not be on there.
:44:56. > :44:56.
:44:56. > :45:01.They needed educating. I think Clare educated them. Go and do
:45:01. > :45:11.something that normal kids do like play football. Go and do it then!
:45:11. > :45:14.
:45:14. > :45:18.I do not know whether they learnt their lesson but hopefully they
:45:18. > :45:24.will think twice before they get onto a roof again. They never think
:45:24. > :45:28.the worst will happen but unfortunately sometimes it does. We
:45:28. > :45:38.have a fire service that refused to go up a ladder. We cannot possibly
:45:38. > :45:40.
:45:40. > :45:46.Catching sight of the unexpected and knowing when something isn't
:45:46. > :45:49.quite right is what makes a good traffic cop. In east Hull, PCs Dave
:45:49. > :45:59.Stevenson and Lee Robinson have been stopped in their tracks by
:45:59. > :46:00.
:46:00. > :46:06.something unusual. There was a wheel, tyre, and a load of debris.
:46:06. > :46:09.A bit of detective work is required. Lee being Lee, he likes his
:46:09. > :46:19.technical side of vehicles shall we say. He knows they should have
:46:19. > :46:25.
:46:25. > :46:32.wheels! That felt warm. Before it goes cold there's a trail to follow.
:46:32. > :46:39.I noticed some groups in the floor which were obviously from that car.
:46:39. > :46:46.I cannot see that anyone will have stopped and changed it. There's
:46:46. > :46:56.every chance the car that's lost the wheel is very nearby. It was
:46:56. > :46:58.
:46:58. > :47:08.easy really. Then it was a case of wait until we come across something.
:47:08. > :47:09.
:47:09. > :47:11.And they have. But they've just missed whoever was in it. As the
:47:11. > :47:21.headlights shine into the distance on to the car, some bodies
:47:21. > :47:25.
:47:25. > :47:35.disappeared. We have just disturbed four lads. It does have TWOC damage.
:47:35. > :47:38.
:47:38. > :47:44.TWOC damage to the ignition means it's probably been stolen. No doubt
:47:44. > :47:49.had we not come round they would have been back out in the car again.
:47:49. > :47:52.They were long gone. Unfortunately the cops weren't quite quick enough
:47:52. > :48:00.to catch the thieves when they first saw them. No doubt someone's
:48:00. > :48:04.been on the lookout. They have had a good head start. Lee had his new
:48:04. > :48:11.boots on. He had his trainers would wear a specially designed for
:48:11. > :48:17.running. Her I would like to say that Dave has good eyesight. We
:48:17. > :48:22.said he had extended souls on them to make him higher. He said they
:48:22. > :48:30.were trainer boots to make him run faster. He had about 10 yards of
:48:30. > :48:34.Chase and then gave up. The road was badly damaged from where the
:48:34. > :48:42.car had driven down it. The tyre was completely gone. The car was
:48:42. > :48:46.quite badly damaged on the front nearside. There were some tools and
:48:46. > :48:54.gnats. They had been trying to change the wheel so they could
:48:54. > :49:01.carry on driving. If we leave it, they will come back for it. People
:49:01. > :49:07.will take the car and drive out somewhere, dump one, make another
:49:07. > :49:13.one, drive around, Nick another one, drive around the town, dump it and
:49:13. > :49:17.then walk the last half a mile home so it is nowhere near their house.
:49:17. > :49:21.Free transport. A recovery truck has arrived to take away what's
:49:21. > :49:26.left of the thieves' free transport. And, as luck would have it, the
:49:26. > :49:28.driver's got a hot tip about where the car may have been stolen from.
:49:28. > :49:31.Coming here, he's driven past another recovery agent's yard and
:49:31. > :49:41.noticed that the gates had been smashed and, incriminatingly, some
:49:41. > :49:45.
:49:45. > :49:50.Hot tips are invaluable to the cops. Back in 2007, they had an anonymous
:49:50. > :49:55.caller to thank for a major drugs bust. He phoned in with details of
:49:55. > :50:03.a consignment being brought into Hull on the A63. An unmarked
:50:03. > :50:13.vehicle saw the subject vehicle. It monitored its progress into the
:50:13. > :50:16.
:50:16. > :50:26.He called us. We have arrived as a marked team, managed to get behind
:50:26. > :50:28.
:50:28. > :50:32.the vehicle and stopped it, near to Two men are in the car, one of them,
:50:32. > :50:42.the passenger, has got something to hide. As I'm looking through, he's
:50:42. > :50:52.
:50:52. > :51:02.fiddling. Put your hands where I The informant was right on the
:51:02. > :51:10.money. A huge amount of drugs, far too much to hide. Careful, it is
:51:10. > :51:16.open. Do you want to wrap it up again? I would say probably about
:51:16. > :51:23.3000, 5000 Ecstasy tablets. It is illegal to possess them. I am
:51:23. > :51:29.following the stock check. They will be arrested for the 10th to
:51:29. > :51:39.supply. With 5000, you are looking at �10,000. There is no way they
:51:39. > :51:45.can say that his personal use. This stuff kills you. Many parents have
:51:45. > :51:51.had young ones who have been lost because of this stuff being taken.
:51:51. > :51:57.It is too dangerous. It is chemically made. You don't know if
:51:57. > :52:01.one will do damage, two will do damage. People who peddle their
:52:01. > :52:09.staff deserve to be behind bars. The more we can take off the
:52:09. > :52:13.streets, the better. The two men are going to be read their rights
:52:13. > :52:20.at the police station. Meanwhile, for the rest of the team, there are
:52:20. > :52:27.more inquiries to be done and speed is of the essence. Our main concern
:52:27. > :52:31.is the address of the driver and the address of the passenger.
:52:31. > :52:34.in east Hull, the cops are finding out if there was any truth in the
:52:34. > :52:37.recovery truck driver's story. They are looking for clues at
:52:37. > :52:47.Willingham's recovery yard. This yard is probably half a mile from
:52:47. > :52:47.
:52:47. > :52:52.where the car was dumped. There was damage to the back of the Rover.
:52:52. > :52:58.Possibly it tried to force the gates a bit further. Bits of the
