0:00:02 > 0:00:03He's going to kill someone, this idiot.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Motorway cops deal with drivers who take life-threatening risks
0:00:06 > 0:00:08- every day.- Careful.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12For every risk, there's an excuse.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Why have you given us false details?
0:00:13 > 0:00:17I'm on the way to the christening and I just wanted to get there.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19- From the absurd... - You've been running, haven't you?
0:00:19 > 0:00:22No, I haven't been running. I suffer with asthma, mate.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25..to the desperate.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27And the cops have heard them all.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29I'm not trying to talk to you like idiots or nothing like that.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Well, unfortunately, for the past hour,
0:00:31 > 0:00:33you have tried to treat us like idiots.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34The story is just invented.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- He knew why we'd stopped him. - Yes, of course he did.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38It ain't looking good for you.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40In the back of your mind, you're thinking,
0:00:40 > 0:00:42"These are ridiculous excuses.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44"I know what you've done, you know what you've done.
0:00:44 > 0:00:45"Why are you even bothering?"
0:01:10 > 0:01:14It's 6:30pm and rush hour on all the major routes
0:01:14 > 0:01:15in and out of Bradford.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Motorway cops PC Andy Barron
0:01:21 > 0:01:24and PC Lindsey Pickles are coming to the end of their shift.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28- I'm starving now.- Don't tell me, you are going to get a Chinese.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30No, I'm not going to get a Chinese.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33But their takeaway is going to have to wait.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I had an earpiece in on a local Bradford channel
0:01:36 > 0:01:41and I could hear one of my colleagues mentioning a white Sprinter van
0:01:41 > 0:01:43that were making off from him.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47At the same time I could hear this, a white Sprinter van came past me
0:01:47 > 0:01:50and I could see blue lights on a police van.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- 'Yankee Kilo 06...'- This van had been involved or had been seen
0:01:54 > 0:01:56leaving the scene of a burglary
0:01:56 > 0:01:59so that's the only information that we had at that time.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Andy and Lindsey are trained in pursuit driving.- 59 behind you.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11As they catch up with the chase, they signal to pass.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Tango 51.
0:02:21 > 0:02:2351. We've got a vehicle making off.
0:02:27 > 0:02:3151. We're currently on St Mary's Road. Towards Oak Lane.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39You get a rush of adrenaline and I recall everything, you know, gripping
0:02:39 > 0:02:42the steering wheel and thinking, right, we're in for a roll here.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Left, left, left on to Drummond Road.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47You never know what's going to happen.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50You never know what's round the corner.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52You never know how members of the public are going to react
0:02:52 > 0:02:54so it's a dangerous situation.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57After chasing the van for two miles towards Bradford city centre,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Andy spots a chance to try and identify the driver
0:03:00 > 0:03:02and gets alongside the speeding van.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Yes, we have got an Asian male driver. Careful.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09There are many, many things that we have to consider in a split second.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12If that target vehicle crashes into a family
0:03:12 > 0:03:16and causes serious injuries, it's always in the back of our head,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19you know, what if that were my family or my colleague's family?
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Left, left, left on to White's View.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Andy and Lindsey call for backup.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27'Where are you going towards?'
0:03:27 > 0:03:29We're currently on Walker Drive,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33going back towards the general direction of Thornton Road.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Lindsey's directions are crucial for the other units
0:03:35 > 0:03:39making their way to the chase.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Speed is now 50mph. Stand by.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44The stakes are rising as the van heads back
0:03:44 > 0:03:46towards busy rush-hour streets.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50It was tea time. People coming and going from work....
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Children... It's a highly residential area.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56The roads were busy by the traffic lights, etc.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00So it's always something that we have to put first and foremost.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08It's a Transit... It's a Mercedes Sprinter. Right, right, right.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Whetley Lane again.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12But before they can bring the van to a halt,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- the game plan suddenly changes. - Don't do that, don't do that!
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- No, don't do that, don't do that! Crazy...- Oh, shit, shit, shit.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22We're going to be aborting at this rate. What a silly thing to do.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25We will abort any pursuit if the risks
0:04:25 > 0:04:29they're taking far outweigh the reasons that we need to stop them.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34It's just not worth ending up with a fatality.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Ahead, another police car arrives and blocks the road,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39but the van driver is so desperate to get away,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41he is prepared to do anything.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Oh, shit. He's on the footpath.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47We were concerned at that point, very concerned.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Very fortunately, the van didn't hit anybody.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54It's always one of those things that's frustrating if we do lose them
0:04:54 > 0:04:59after a pursuit but if it has to be aborted, it has to be aborted.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01We're now back on to Whetley Lane.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06We've got one front seat passenger that's on the phone and a driver.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09It's going to be a decamp, is this, in a minute, I reckon.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I don't think they are going to keep going for long.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15But then the van driver makes his first big mistake.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19We've got a left, left, left to Glenholme Road, and then left again...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Ooh. He's collided with a small wall
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- but he's continuing.- He's going to decamp. It's lost its back wheel.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28It's lost its rear nearside wheel.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30That's the riskiest point of losing somebody.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33As soon as they leave the vehicle and start running,
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- that's when you may lose them. - He's losing control.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38He's going round corners
0:05:38 > 0:05:40because he hasn't got the stability at the back end.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43As the damaged van speeds down a residential street,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47an unmarked car joins the chase.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- I'm going to...- Ashwell Road now.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Ashwell Road. - The van is going round in circles.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Andy gambles on taking a back road to try and cut it off.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Careful.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04They're head-to-head with the van, but the driver spots a way out.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Careful, Andy.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09There was a gap in the parked cars that presented itself to this driver.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Let him get through.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Oh, nearly.- He's going to kill somebody, is this idiot.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Getting the two-and-a-half-tonne police car turned
0:06:21 > 0:06:22in the tight city back streets
0:06:22 > 0:06:26leaves Andy and Lindsey playing catch-up.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Location update.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29We're now at Walker Drive.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Decamped. He's decamped.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Finally, a city centre patrol car has forced the driver to stop.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43On your feet, mate. On your feet. Nice and steady.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Nice and steady, lad. We'll put you in this van.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Two men are pulled from the van. - Get up. Get up now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Right, you are under arrest.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56For failing to stop for police, dangerous driving.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57You do not have to say anything.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00It may harm your defence if you don't mention when questioned
0:07:00 > 0:07:02something which you later rely on in court.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Have you got anything on you at all you shouldn't have?- No.- Any weapons?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Anything sharp that could harm us? - Nothing like that.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12PC Mark Claxton finally brought the van to a halt.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14He seemed very desperate to get away, for some reason.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18If you look here, rubber gloves on the floor and that's usually
0:07:18 > 0:07:21an indication that a vehicle's stolen.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Damage to that's not going to... but we'll see
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- if we can get into the rear of the van.- Oh, wow. There you go.- Yee-ha!
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- Fantastic.- It is a mobile cannabis factory.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36That'll be the reason that they have gone to try and get away
0:07:36 > 0:07:39and why he's got gloves on in the front.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Lindsey and Andy, who have decided to stop this vehicle, and it's been
0:07:43 > 0:07:44brought to their attention,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47have just done an absolutely excellent job.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50During the chase, Andy suspected the van might be carrying cannabis.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52The stench coming from the back of the van,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55even in our car following it, was quite overwhelming.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58To get that haul is significant, really.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03It's an excellent result to get that amount of cannabis off the street.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06It has taken two major drug dealers off the road.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08So we could do with identifying them as quickly as possible
0:08:08 > 0:08:11and finding out where they have been grown and see
0:08:11 > 0:08:14if there's any more and confiscate the equipment.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Now, Andy and Lindsey must try and piece together whether
0:08:17 > 0:08:21the cannabis was being moved from a safe house or if it was stolen.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24When you find something like that in the back of a van, it's not
0:08:24 > 0:08:26the end of the enquiry, it's just the beginning.
0:08:33 > 0:08:3515 miles away, PCs Paul Crabtree
0:08:35 > 0:08:38and Chris Pursey are eastbound on the M62.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43The entry slip road is nice and clear. That's what I like to see.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46You can go home and sleep safe and sound at night, then, can't you?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50This is the main artery across England, from Liverpool to Hull.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52It's one of the busiest motorways in the country.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55During the daytime, it's more dealing with accidents and incidents
0:08:55 > 0:08:59as they come in but at night time, the opportunity's there for speed.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00As the rush-hour traffic clears,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04the cops want to ensure no-one is tempted to put their foot down.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09If they are driving when they see us and slow down,
0:09:09 > 0:09:14- then they're observant.- Don't mind that.- They're switched on.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17They know what is happening around them.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19And not everyone has seen the motorway cops
0:09:19 > 0:09:21sitting on the slipway.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Silver Focus.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26He's got a bit of pace about him.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30My colleague has just seen a car come past
0:09:30 > 0:09:34while we were parked up on the entry slip road, at speed in lane three
0:09:34 > 0:09:36so we have just set off to chase after it.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42The car is travelling so fast, it's nearly out of sight when Paul
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- and Chris join the motorway. - Whereabouts is it now, Paul?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50It's just over this brow. Still lane three. There it is.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54We're still doing 110 miles an hour. He hasn't seen us.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58He's still going. We've got a start.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01We'll just follow him and see how he goes now.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05You could think of it as cat and mouse. It is dark.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08He wouldn't be able to see our markings.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Obviously not looking in the mirrors and not being observant.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Otherwise, he'd realise it could be the police coming up behind him.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Unaware that the cops are on his tail, the driver
0:10:19 > 0:10:23keeps his foot down as Paul and Chris begin to gather evidence.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28Start the equipment and it measures the time.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30The second button measures distance.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33And then we do the same to finish the check,
0:10:33 > 0:10:37so it measures time and distance of the vehicle in front.
0:10:41 > 0:10:4498.41 average. The time is just over a minute.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47One minute and four seconds.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51So we'll definitely be stopping this driver and dealing with him.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55At nearly 100 miles an hour, the driver's stopping distance
0:10:55 > 0:10:59is over 200m, the length of two football pitches.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02If anything mechanical goes wrong,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05at those sort of speeds, if he gets a puncture or a blow out,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08the driver is going to lose control.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12The cops now have the evidence they need to pull the driver over.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15There is a nice gap for him to go in,
0:11:15 > 0:11:17now we've got the blues on, which he's taking.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21He's in his vehicle, thinking, I want to go at this speed
0:11:21 > 0:11:24and to hell with everybody else that's around me.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Hello, sir. Can you just join us a second in our car?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29We need to have a chat.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- In my eyes, he needs sorting out. - Is it your car?- Yes.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- What's your name?- Raees Khan. - How long have you had the car?
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- I have just took it off a friend.- You bought it off him?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- No, I just took it off him. Two days ago.- You have taken it off him?- Yes.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Who is your insurance policy with? - Mine's with the...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56We're going to stop you. This is all getting a little bit vague.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Let's go right back to the beginning. Is it your car?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01No, the vehicle's the company's car.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Right, so when I asked you to start with, is it your car, you said yes.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07It's not a good start when someone starts telling you one thing
0:12:07 > 0:12:10and then changing the story halfway through.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I was thinking of buying it, to be honest with you.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- I'm just driving around. - But whose car is it?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- RAC... AC motor, to be honest. - AC Motors' car?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21There's no point lying to us
0:12:21 > 0:12:23because we will find out and sometimes
0:12:23 > 0:12:26people just need a little chance to start again.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Do you know why we stopped you?- No.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33You don't? OK. We've been behind you since junction 22, OK?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Now this might start to ring a bell as to why we have stopped you.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Do you want to have a wild guess now? - No.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Now I tell you how long we've been behind you.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- It is a good seven or eight miles. - Fair enough.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47We have seen you going past the junction going quite quick.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50What we have done is we have done a following check on your speed and
0:12:50 > 0:12:53you're out in front of us at 100, 101, 102.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57That is you there. 106, 109...
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Doing those sort of speeds, you know all about it because it's
0:13:01 > 0:13:03making lots of rattling noises and it sounds very loud.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08And it's probably feeling a bit twitchy at that sort of speed.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10In fairness, Raees, you know you're doing that,
0:13:10 > 0:13:12because you're going to have to put some pasty
0:13:12 > 0:13:15into a Focus to do 110 up that slope. All right?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17What happens, fortunately for you,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21is a car comes out in front of you and you have to back your speed off.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23And if you notice there, there are some lights coming out
0:13:23 > 0:13:26in front of you and speed starts to drop back. All right?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28The average check at the end there,
0:13:28 > 0:13:3298.41 is your average speed over that distance we have covered.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Because that vehicle moved out in front of him then yes,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39the average did come down and it brought him
0:13:39 > 0:13:42into the realms of points rather than a ban.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Little bit too quick there, isn't it? What's the rush?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48The driver might have escaped an automatic ban
0:13:48 > 0:13:50but his ordeal isn't over yet.
0:13:52 > 0:13:5415 miles away back in Bradford,
0:13:54 > 0:13:58the cannabis haul is stirring up a lot of interest.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Andy wants it off the streets as soon as possible.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03We've got a big crowd in the middle of Girlington.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06So we need the cannabis in the van moving as soon as possible.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11'You say it's full of cannabis. How full of cannabis is it?'
0:14:11 > 0:14:14It's a Mercedes Sprinter long wheelbase and the back of it is
0:14:14 > 0:14:19full of cannabis so that's the sort of volume were talking about.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It's basically a cannabis factory on wheels
0:14:21 > 0:14:24and moving to somewhere else.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28It needs to go to Stoneywood and be photographed when it arrives.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31The cops now have information that earlier on,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34the van was seen leaving a house only a few miles away.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35It was seen being loaded up.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38A member of the public has rung it in to us saying there was
0:14:38 > 0:14:40something suspicious about it.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43It looks like they're taking a grow either to another house, moving it,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46or they are going to clean it up and sell it.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Now cops have a van loaded with cannabis and an address to raid.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54They race round to see what else they might find.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56There still could be more cannabis back at the house.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59And possibly other people at the house.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01But they may be too late.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03The house is deserted.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Officers find what's left of a four-storey cannabis farm.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Sergeant Adam Crisp is supervising the house search.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14When we've got to the address, we've realised that somebody's
0:15:14 > 0:15:19forced entry to the ground floor and then they've stolen cannabis.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22You can see the trail of cannabis leading to the exit.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25The cops are sure that the plants in the van originally
0:15:25 > 0:15:27came from the house.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31They could have been the people that set up this cannabis factory or
0:15:31 > 0:15:34they could have been tipped off that the police are coming
0:15:34 > 0:15:39or it could be a rival drug dealer's cannabis factory that they are trying to rip off.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41A mile away, back at the van,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Lindsey gets an update from Sergeant Adam Crisp.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46What we're saying is, we need to...
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Because obviously they've got the cannabis plants at the house
0:15:49 > 0:15:52and they've got these, they want to take a sample
0:15:52 > 0:15:55so that they can say that they are the same one.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58The cannabis seizure will lead to a major investigation.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02But for now, Andy and Lindsey's work is done.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09It's got a rear nearside flat, I think, possibly under the limit.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- It's certainly underinflated. - Come on. We're off.- Food.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Andy and Lindsey can finally take a break.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19That was a nice little job, wasn't it?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27On the M62, PCs Paul Crabtree
0:16:27 > 0:16:31and Chris Pursey are still listening to a driver's excuses.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35They want to know why he was speeding at nearly 100mph.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Right, what's the rush?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43For what reason?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Right. You're going to have an even more bad stomach when you hit
0:16:48 > 0:16:51central reservation and splash your intestines all down the motorway.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54If you hit something at 100mph, that's what's going to happen to you.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58There won't be a great deal left. We'd have to come and put your stomach in a bag
0:16:58 > 0:17:01and that'll hurt an awful lot more than it will do just
0:17:01 > 0:17:03toddling home and getting yourself a Rennie.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Who else is in the car with you? - Just a friend of mine.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06- A friend?- Yes, yes.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08'To put other people at risk'
0:17:08 > 0:17:10for your own benefit has got to be
0:17:10 > 0:17:12selfish really, hasn't it?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15'Obviously not a thought for anybody else.'
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Now, call me cynical, but your stomach wasn't hurting
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- when you got in.- It was.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30You could then see that he was starting to screw his face up
0:17:30 > 0:17:33and make like he was in agony with this stomach problem that
0:17:33 > 0:17:37he's got, which looked like it was a bit of a last-ditch attempt, really,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- to try and get off the offence. - He wasn't doing that when he got in, so no, I didn't believe him.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45What we're going to do, my colleague is going to take some details
0:17:45 > 0:17:48and we'll give you a written notice
0:17:48 > 0:17:52which is notice of intended prosecution.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53A decision will be made as to
0:17:53 > 0:17:56whether you are summonsed to court for the offence of speeding.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58That probably will come through the post within the next
0:17:58 > 0:18:01sort of four to six weeks, OK?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Where are you going to?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- And how long are you going for? - End of t'year.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Until the end of the year? So you're going for a couple of months?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- And then are you coming back to the UK, or not?- Yeah.- You are?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Are you a permanent resident in the UK?- Yeah.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21That's another excuse he's using to try and get away with it.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24"I'm not in the country, so you can't prosecute me."
0:18:24 > 0:18:27He can even be prosecuted in his absence.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Points can be put on his licence.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31So when he does return to the country,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33those points and a fine will be waiting for him.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36That's a written version of what I've told you there.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38That gives you the details of what we've said to you.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41If you do come back from abroad and you realise you've missed
0:18:41 > 0:18:44a date on your summons, contact them, explain it to them.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Before Paul can issue a notice of intent to prosecute,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50the driver has one more surprise for the cops.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54One of what down your pants?
0:18:54 > 0:18:58You've put it down your pants and it's gone hard?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00It's not what you want to hear when somebody's sat behind you,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02especially when you can't see what's going on!
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Yeah, I'm not... I'm not going to go into what you put down your trousers, right?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Sometimes it's very hard with some people.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Some of the things they come out with, to keep a straight face.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21You really do have to put a lot of effort into it.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23OK, you take care. See you later.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Make sure you build up your speed on the hard shoulder
0:19:26 > 0:19:27before you move into the live lane, OK?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I had to put that down my pants.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Paul and Chris can't quite believe their ears.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41"I've put this down my trousers and it's gone hard."
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- That is what he's just said to me, isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46What was he talking about?
0:19:46 > 0:19:51He's got one of them gel things for a sports injury. They're all mushy.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54He's obviously popped it down the front of his trousers...
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Get your speed up, don't pull straight out. Don't do it!
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Oh, he's being all right. Not too bad.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03LAUGHTER
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Given the fact that he has got a sporty thing
0:20:06 > 0:20:08down his pants, he was sat fine until we mentioned speeding,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11then he started doing his little, "Oh".
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I'm sure it was a story just invented.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- He knew why we'd stopped him. - Course he did.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20No, you just never know what you're going to come across.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23The joys of the job - it's different every day.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37It's 9am and PCs Dale Anderson
0:20:37 > 0:20:40and Helen Jones are back on the M62 near Leeds.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43This time, the motorway cops are not chasing down bad drivers,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46they're targeting dangerous vehicles.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I've got the first couple.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- We took five in all.- I've got three. - I've got two, so we took five.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- One has been a verbal one and three prohibitions.- Yeah.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00As part of an operation to get illegal vehicles off the roads,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02the police are working with Customs
0:21:02 > 0:21:05and VOSA from the Department for Transport.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08The target on this particular week
0:21:08 > 0:21:09was just a general national
0:21:09 > 0:21:11road safety week,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13so it's almost a catch-all.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Just get out there, see what we can find.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Dale and Helen head to a busy slipway near junction 27.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Their job is to pull vehicles in for inspection before
0:21:22 > 0:21:24they have the chance to get onto the motorway.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27If the vehicles are not safe or if they're doing anything
0:21:27 > 0:21:31wrong in general, if they're doing it repeatedly, their turn will come.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Dale's attention is soon caught by an old recovery van.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41It just stands out as a shit vehicle, really.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44We'll take it in, have a look around it.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Just the age of the vehicle,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48there could be a whole host of things wrong with it.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51'I suppose some people may think a mountain out of a molehill.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53'It may seem trivial, it may seem quite harsh,'
0:21:53 > 0:21:57if we start talking about something like a bald tyre, but it's that, it
0:21:57 > 0:22:01only takes a split-second for it to evolve into something so much more.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Nothing to worry about.- All right.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I'm sure you've been stopped on this sort of thing before.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10I'm just off to Toys "R" Us, that's all. Pick a reserved present up, I thought, "What's this about?"
0:22:10 > 0:22:14This guy was very chatty. I suppose it just comes with experience.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16You realise some people are just trying to befriend you
0:22:16 > 0:22:18as a means to an end.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22It sometimes doesn't come up on the insurance thing.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- Which company is it with?- I can't remember. I think it's Tradewise.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31- If you give me a producer...- We'll ring up and check as we always do.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Saves you producing. 'Sometimes people can seem too keen to help.'
0:22:35 > 0:22:38When people start quoting these phrases,
0:22:38 > 0:22:42these offences to you, if they know it that well, they've obviously been
0:22:42 > 0:22:45there, been there, done it and got the T-shirt.
0:22:45 > 0:22:51So it certainly makes you wonder, who exactly AM I dealing with here?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- What sort of policy is it? - A recovery policy.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59- Recovery and sales, or...? - No, it's MOTed as well, because you're not allowed to
0:22:59 > 0:23:03use them if they're MOT exempt for personal.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05He tried a little bit too hard.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09And everything unravelled from there, really.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Customs officers have run a check on the recovery truck's fuel
0:23:13 > 0:23:15and the news isn't good for the driver.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- We tested you before. - You tested me before.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29It's about 50p a litre cheaper than the standard clear, greeny-coloured
0:23:29 > 0:23:34diesel what you'd normally buy for a tractor equivalent, JCB.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36As long as it's not on a road, we're fine to use it.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41It's exactly the same product, but red diesel has a dye placed
0:23:41 > 0:23:46in it at manufacture to indicate it's not suitable to be on the roads.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48What will it be, then? A 500-quidder?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Well, you've been done before, so...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55So we'll see how many times you've actually been done.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I definitely done him about three months ago, so...
0:23:58 > 0:24:01The driver has an excuse.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04It's not my fault. I've just put £20 worth of white in at Tesco's.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08But the evidence is stacking up. His day is about to get worse.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12It's almost "shake the tree and see what falls out"
0:24:12 > 0:24:15and more often than not, more than one thing does.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18While they continue to examine the van,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22ten miles east on the M621 south of Leeds...
0:24:22 > 0:24:25PCs Phil Stonebanks and Dave Robson are also on the lookout
0:24:25 > 0:24:28for motorists breaking the law.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I do love my job, I mean, I couldn't be stuck in an office.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34You never know what's going to happen with this job,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36that's the main thing about it.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39One thing they do know is that uninsured drivers
0:24:39 > 0:24:41are a major problem.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44One in 20 risk driving without insurance,
0:24:44 > 0:24:49adding around £380 million a year to the cost of everyone else's bill.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51No insurance is a massive problem,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53particularly around West Yorkshire,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55so we're doing our best to combat the problem as best we can.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59He's not wanting to go across me, either. Skoda Fabia.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Just 30 minutes into their shift,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04and a car has caught their attention.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06We should play a game with him.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10See how slow you can get before they do eventually come past.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13The speed limit there is 50mph, as you're coming down into Leeds.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16At one point, I think we got down to 38mph.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18He just didn't want to come past us,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20so that immediately sets the alarm bells ringing.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23As the car is finally forced to overtake the cops,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Phil checks the driver's details on the Police National Database.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29Fabia...
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- A male driver, wasn't it?- Yes.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Female owner, let's see who's on the insurance.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Permitted driver insured only.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44That's reason enough to check him out.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Right?- Yeah.
0:25:49 > 0:25:5499% certain it was a male driver. Bring him in.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58These are the people that are our bread and butter.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59We're going out there
0:25:59 > 0:26:02actively trying to take these people off the road.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Good morning.- Morning. - Is this your car?- Yes.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07What's your name, please? Right, marvellous.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Just checking the insurance, whose insurance are you driving on, sir?
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Cos according to the insurance,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15there's only you on the insurance to drive the vehicle.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19You've got another vehicle that you're insured on, have you?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Is the vehicle that you're on about registered to you? In your name?
0:26:25 > 0:26:29He was a bit hesitant, but he was a plausible character.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31We get some people, it's obvious from the minute you start
0:26:31 > 0:26:34speaking to them that they're lying through their back teeth.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37But we still need to get him in the back of our car just to run
0:26:37 > 0:26:38the necessary checks.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40- What's your name, sir, please? - Aaron Johnson.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Can you spell your first name for me?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46Aaron. My name is Dean Johnson, but everyone calls me Aaron. D-E-A-N.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- What name's on your driving licence? - Dean Aaron Johnson.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55- And what's your home address? - It's (BLEEP).
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- Right. Are you known to the police at all? Ever been arrested?- No.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- Right, excellent. Have you got a full driving licence?- Yes.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- Do you have it on you? - No, I haven't, no.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09The driver licence check is usually the one that catches them out. Everybody with a driving licence,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11will be recorded on the Police National Computer,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13it's just a case of putting the right details into the computer.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Can you just run the driver through for us, please?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17A driver licence check.
0:27:17 > 0:27:18SYSTEM BEEPS
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Surname of Johnson. Two forenames of Dean, Aaron.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25BEEPING
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Where are you heading for, then?
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Just going to Leeds to a christening, yeah.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32WOMAN: 'Come in 7-7-1.'
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Go ahead.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Hm.- We tried a postcode search and everything,
0:27:43 > 0:27:48but there was just nothing there, which set the alarm bells ringing.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51It was quite obvious that he wasn't telling the truth.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53And the driver isn't going anywhere
0:27:53 > 0:27:56until Phil finds out what he's trying to hide.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Just off the M62,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03the recovery truck driver is starting to feel the heat.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06His vehicle is failing every test.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Now, the lack of tread on his tyres is under scrutiny.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11What does that say?
0:28:11 > 0:28:130.39.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Right in the centre, so you need
0:28:17 > 0:28:201.6 millimetres to be lawful,
0:28:20 > 0:28:21so this is an illegal tyre.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24We're going to report it to the police officer here.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Everybody is going to be dealing with you, really.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Obviously, Customs will deal with you for their side of things,
0:28:30 > 0:28:36running on red diesel. VOSA, there will be some form of a prohibition.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Also, on your brake fluid...
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Things are mounting up and all the agencies,
0:28:42 > 0:28:44everybody's writing their own pieces of paper.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Not good news for him when he looks around and whichever direction
0:28:47 > 0:28:50he turns, he sees somebody else writing a report on him.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55- The bald tyre is an automatic three points.- He'll have to be reported...
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- Will there be points?- For the tyre? - Will it be points?
0:28:58 > 0:29:01So I'm all right with this for the licence?
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- He can if he wants to, or...- Can you take that out of my face, mate?
0:29:05 > 0:29:07A bald tyre does carry points, typically.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- Because you're already on 12 points...- He's on 15.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14- He kept it in court.- Right, OK.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18It will be down to a court whether they disqualify you, won't it?
0:29:18 > 0:29:21There's not much else he could have been doing wrong here today
0:29:21 > 0:29:24in terms of the people what's here. His licence is showing expired
0:29:24 > 0:29:27because he's not surrendered it after being given more points at court.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29On the face of his licence, he's got six points,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31he's actually just said he's got 15.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34If I was a betting man, I'd expect him
0:29:34 > 0:29:37to be subject to a disqualification on this occasion.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40And now, he's also going to lose his van.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41The red diesel in his engine
0:29:41 > 0:29:44and the bald tyre means this vehicle is being seized.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46'I don't feel sorry for these people.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51'How can these people expect my sympathy?' See you later.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Everything what happened,
0:29:54 > 0:29:57the vehicle ended up being taken away,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00it was all their doing. It wasn't ours.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Which leaves the unhappy driver with a long walk home.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Back on the hard shoulder of the M621,
0:30:10 > 0:30:15Phil and Dave are still trying to confirm the Skoda driver's identity.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19The address on your licence, Aaron - is it this address,
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- or is it your previous address? - No, I was at my mum's at the time.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26And that's definitely the address that's on your licence?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28No, that's my address where I live now.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30What address is on your licence?
0:30:30 > 0:30:35- Oh, yes - it's my mum's address. - Which is?- Park Chase.- Stand-by.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- Park Chase?- Yeah.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39The second excuse he came up with was oh, it must be his mum's
0:30:39 > 0:30:42address that's on his licence, not his girlfriend's address.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45So we checked on that one. Go ahead.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Park Chase doesn't seem to exist in Nottingham,
0:30:48 > 0:30:50but there is a Chase Park.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- No, no, no. It's Park Chase. - I don't believe this!
0:30:53 > 0:30:55It was hard work with this guy.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57I think he just ended up tying himself up in knots.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Have you got anything with your name on it, Aaron?
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Bank cards or anything like that?
0:31:03 > 0:31:07No. I've got my gym membership - I don't think this is...
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Has it got your name on it anywhere?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Then he came out with his gym card which had no photograph on it,
0:31:12 > 0:31:14didn't have his name on it.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- But I didn't get time! - You're making this hard work for us!
0:31:19 > 0:31:20I know, I'm sorry.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Just go have a word with your good lady, let her know what's happening.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Phil is hoping the girlfriend can shed some
0:31:29 > 0:31:31light on the driver's identity.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Right, what's his full name?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Is he called Aaron, though?
0:31:39 > 0:31:43Yeah. He says everyone calls him Aaron. Is it Aaron or is it Dean?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45You call him Dean?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48How long you been with him?
0:31:48 > 0:31:49He said everyone else calls him Aaron?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51'Speaking to his girlfriend,'
0:31:51 > 0:31:53I don't think she even knew the name Aaron, she didn't know
0:31:53 > 0:31:56where that had come from, so that was the clincher for me.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59What did you say people refer to you as? Is it Dean? Or is it Aaron?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Well, yeah - Dean, but Aaron, like...
0:32:01 > 0:32:05It was quite obvious that he couldn't lie straight in bed
0:32:05 > 0:32:09and all the answers he was giving were just rubbish.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12With all lines of inquiry drawing a blank,
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Phil calls in a second motorway cop with a mobile fingerprint machine.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Just jump out for us, Aaron. He'll do it here at the side of the road.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21There's a bit more room to stand here.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24We're just going to put your finger on this machine
0:32:24 > 0:32:25and check some details on there.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27We're going to have to do it, mate.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29We're not 100% satisfied with your identity,
0:32:29 > 0:32:32we can't find you on any of the systems. This is the problem.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35It can be frustrating when you're dealing with something like that,
0:32:35 > 0:32:37when you know they're telling lies.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40It's a long, laborious process to get to the end of it.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42But the fingerprint device does save time.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45We were able to identify him within a matter of seconds.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- No.- Finally, the truth is out.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58Darren, or Dean, aka Aaron, decides to come clean.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Go on, then - what do you want to tell us? What's your real name?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Right. Why didn't you tell us that an hour ago?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Provisional licence holders obviously aren't
0:33:12 > 0:33:15allowed on the motorway, full stop.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19The only place they can drive legally is on non-motorway roads,
0:33:19 > 0:33:21provided they're supervised by a qualified driver.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24If you do get caught, then you're looking at between five
0:33:24 > 0:33:27and eight points on your driving licence and two, three,
0:33:27 > 0:33:32four, £500 fine, so it's just not worth it at the end of the day.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34While he tries to explain his way out of trouble,
0:33:34 > 0:33:37his girlfriend leaves him to the motorway cops.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38She's abandoned you, mate.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43- Give her a ring.- She's gone without you.- A lucky escape for her.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45It was quite possible that his girlfriend could have been
0:33:45 > 0:33:49arrested as well for attempting to pervert the course of justice.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52But the driver is still hopeful he might yet talk his way
0:33:52 > 0:33:53out of trouble.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56I'm not trying to talk to you like idiots or nothing like that.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Unfortunately, you have for the last hour.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00You've treated us like idiots by pretending that you were someone else.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03I've asked you numerous times if these are your right details
0:34:03 > 0:34:04and you said yes.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09That wasn't the case, was it? No is the answer, isn't it?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11We can get something down on paper and then you'll be reported
0:34:11 > 0:34:14for summons and you'll get a summons through the post.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16'At the end of the day, we're not vindictive.'
0:34:16 > 0:34:18We just couldn't turf him out
0:34:18 > 0:34:21in a strange city at the side of the road, so being the nice
0:34:21 > 0:34:24guys that we are, we decided to drop him off down at the train station.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27'He's not done himself any favours.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30'He had plenty of opportunity there to tell us his real name.'
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Right, there you go, mate. We'll let you out.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35But the fingerprint device doesn't lie.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37It's just confirmed exactly who
0:34:37 > 0:34:39he is and that he doesn't have a driving licence.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41He's admitted he's not insured to drive the vehicle,
0:34:41 > 0:34:45but he's also looking at going to court for the offence
0:34:45 > 0:34:48of obstructing a PC by attempting to give us false details.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55- That was hard work.- We got there in the end.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57High-five!
0:34:58 > 0:35:00- Cheesy or what?!- Yeah!
0:35:14 > 0:35:16As night falls across West Yorkshire,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19a new police team takes to the roads.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21PC Mick Roffe and Rob Jones are from the Yorkshire
0:35:21 > 0:35:24and Humber regional crime team.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27These officers travel across four counties in search
0:35:27 > 0:35:29of criminals using the roads.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32We cover the whole region, which is a huge area
0:35:32 > 0:35:38and you have main motorways like the A1M and M1, M62 running through it.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41We're really out to catch criminals - organised crime groups,
0:35:41 > 0:35:45burglars, car thieves, drug dealers, that kind of thing.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Tonight, they are travelling in convoy behind another unmarked car.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52They don't normally deal with traffic offences, but as
0:35:52 > 0:35:56they leave the M1 to join the M621, a driver grabs their attention.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07Poor driving annoys every decent motorist. The cops are no different.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11This guy was absolutely right up behind us, you know,
0:36:11 > 0:36:12fag paper between us,
0:36:12 > 0:36:15trying to push his way past and hadn't twigged that we were police.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Tell Roffe to keep an eye on him,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20because he might just cane it on here and then he might just go
0:36:20 > 0:36:21right up the chuff of that wagon.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Roffe, just keep an eye on this Toyota in front of us please, mate.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31He's been right up our chuff all the way down that last road.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34There's a Toyota Yaris just in front of us come onto the motorway,
0:36:34 > 0:36:38cut right across us on the white paint on t'carriageway far too early.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40That's potentially very dangerous.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Once the driver hits the fast lane, he puts his foot down.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Is it still 50 here?
0:36:50 > 0:36:5175 now, outside lane.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55You're going to have him, aren't you?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- Your rat is coming out. - It's growing.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59The rat's going to bite him in a minute.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Cops have a nickname for their colleagues who dish out tickets.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08The term rat or black rat is widely known, I think, as traffic officers.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12It's a generic term, it's seen as a bit of a joke
0:37:12 > 0:37:16really that they do a great job and are very good at what they do.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Roffe's inner rat is surfacing, mate.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20He's thinking about a speeding ticket.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24I have a reputation for being the rat on the team.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26So it's quite amusing to me that he's the one that was getting
0:37:26 > 0:37:29all het up about the way this fellow was driving.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31But the driver's not finished yet.
0:37:32 > 0:37:38Is he going to squeeze his way in here? Oh, every time!
0:37:38 > 0:37:42As soon as he crossed those white lines, and pulled that dangerous
0:37:42 > 0:37:45manoeuvre, that was a point where there's no going back from this.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47He's defo won himself a ticket.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51When he got to the feeding-in lane there, he's gone straight
0:37:51 > 0:37:54across the chevron areas, making his own lane up as he goes along.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58So we're going to have words about the manner of his driving.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01You. Over.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06If we'd not stopped him and spoken to him, then I have every
0:38:06 > 0:38:09expectation that he would have caused an accident at some point.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10How do?
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- All right, mate?- Are you in a rush for any particular reason?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Can you take a seat in ours, mate, have a quick natter?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Bring your keys.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Just jump in the back. This side.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Otherwise you'll get squashed on the motorway.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31And THAT is FAR too much writing.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I didn't like his driving at all, no.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Obviously in a rush for some reason,
0:38:38 > 0:38:42but far too quick and he was doing silly manoeuvres as well.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45When you're joining in rush-hour conditions and it's busy,
0:38:45 > 0:38:47a slight manoeuvre could go wrong, really.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50He could end up causing all sorts of carnage.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Right, pal.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58You've obviously committed several offences there, with your manner of driving.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01It's unfortunate for you that we're in an unmarked car and have captured it on video.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04HE CAUTIONS HIM
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Anything you do so may be given in evidence. Do you understand that?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Anything you want to say to that?
0:39:11 > 0:39:16- No? OK.- Mick just got into full flow straightaway
0:39:16 > 0:39:20and started trying to educate this fellow on the error of his ways.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24I'll warn you about your manoeuvres joining, crossing solid white paint,
0:39:24 > 0:39:28joining onto the 621, and I'll warn you about your due care and attention as you overtook them cars
0:39:28 > 0:39:31as it comes to two lanes, to one lane on the entry to here,
0:39:31 > 0:39:34you've gone all the way down the outside, all over the hatchings,
0:39:34 > 0:39:37cut past three cars and then joined, haven't you?
0:39:37 > 0:39:39If you remember that?
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Do you have any points on your licence at the minute?
0:39:43 > 0:39:44How many?
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Six. What for?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54What, on the average cameras?
0:39:54 > 0:39:56What, twice? Or just once, or...?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Right.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00I've filled in this fixed penalty notice.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Fixed penalty is what it says it is.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04It's three penalty points on your licence and a £60 fine.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08He may learn one day when he's either, if he's lucky,
0:40:08 > 0:40:10he'll lose his licence, but if he's unlucky,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13he'll cause someone to be killed or seriously injured.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- He needs to sort himself out. - He's got six points already.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Both on 25 June on the M62.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21So he's not learning his lesson.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- Mine, or his?- It will never quell Jonesey's inner rat!
0:40:34 > 0:40:3620 miles away,
0:40:36 > 0:40:40just north of Bradford, PC Andy Barron is back on shift.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Tonight, he's with PC Martin Willis.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46In the early hours of the morning, the roads may be quiet,
0:40:46 > 0:40:50but there are still plenty of lawbreakers around.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54We get people that are high on drugs, people that are really
0:40:54 > 0:40:57drunk, we get people with prostitutes in their car that are
0:40:57 > 0:41:00engaged in sexual activities...
0:41:00 > 0:41:03It could be anything at that sort of time in the morning.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07Let's run this one. In fact, let's just stop him.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10'It was a car that was out of place.'
0:41:10 > 0:41:15It was late at night and there was not a lot of traffic on the road.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17'I recall this car being driven'
0:41:17 > 0:41:20what we would describe as erratic.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- See if he's had a drink. - That's what I'm thinking.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Everything is worth a stop, isn't it?
0:41:24 > 0:41:28'It was doing things that you wouldn't expect a careful, competent driver to do.'
0:41:28 > 0:41:30It just heightens your suspicion.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Have a seat.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Hello, fella.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42You could smell the alcohol, he'd been drinking something.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45'He almost crawled out of the car.'
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Sorry, what did you say your name was?
0:41:47 > 0:41:48- James.- OK, James.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Because I can smell alcohol, I'm going to request a breath test,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53all right?
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Where is it you're travelling to?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- Is this where you were going to stop anyway?- Yeah.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- Do you live here?- No. I have a business here.- OK, mate.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06All you're required to do is a deep breath, long,
0:42:06 > 0:42:10continuous blow through this machine until it stops beeping.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- All right?- Have you been given a breath test before?- Yes.- Go on, then.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- MACHINE BEEPS - A bit hard, I think?
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- Is it doing it?- We'll see if it goes on that.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22It were a bit hard, but we'll see.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27The driver seems to know he's in big trouble.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Anything above an alcohol count of 35 and he risks losing his licence.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34I think from speaking to you, you're probably going to be over the limit.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39- Yeah.- Think you're expecting it... - Yes, I am.- It's gone to 112.
0:42:39 > 0:42:44- And what should I be?- 35.- How many? - 35.- Oh, (BLEEP). OK.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Mixing a car with alcohol to that level is more dangerous than
0:42:47 > 0:42:48a loaded gun.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51You're talking a tonne of metal on a road at speed,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54it's going to devastate anything that it hits.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56You'll have to come with us to the station,
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- we have to get a more accurate sample.- All right.- OK, James.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03At this moment, you're under arrest on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle whilst over the limit.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05HE CAUTIONS HIM
0:43:07 > 0:43:10- Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?- I do.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16(BLEEP).
0:43:18 > 0:43:20His world has just ended.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23I think he knew about it as soon as I spoke to him.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25He was, "Shit, shit".
0:43:25 > 0:43:29He's just blown three or four times over the legal limit.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32So he's coming with us, drink-driving.
0:43:32 > 0:43:36So this is going to have a big impact on him, unfortunately for him.
0:43:36 > 0:43:40But right now, the driver still thinks he can beat the breath test.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Can we stop off and get something to eat, please?
0:43:43 > 0:43:46- Can I have a burger?- You can't.
0:43:46 > 0:43:50I don't want to fall out with you, James, but we've got various rules.
0:43:50 > 0:43:51- I'm not being rude.- No, you're not.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54I'm trying obviously not to fail this,
0:43:54 > 0:43:57- because if I fail this, I'm absolutely f...- Yes.
0:43:57 > 0:44:03He were full of himself, he was in high spirits. He was typically drunk.
0:44:03 > 0:44:07I got the impression that if he thought he could be really,
0:44:07 > 0:44:10really pally and confident with us, that we
0:44:10 > 0:44:13would take him down the curry shop I think and buy him a takeaway!
0:44:13 > 0:44:16Can I call my solicitor before I even do any of this?
0:44:16 > 0:44:19I'm not being rude, but I'm probably going to blow over...
0:44:19 > 0:44:21You can't delay the evidential sample.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23He seemed to think that if he delayed it,
0:44:23 > 0:44:27he would be much more likely to get off and he was quite happy to
0:44:27 > 0:44:30tell us that, and tell us that were his tactic.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32And as they pull into the police station,
0:44:32 > 0:44:35the driver makes another desperate attempt to get off.
0:44:35 > 0:44:39Unless you all want to go out and we'll all just get laid, be easier.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42- 'Incredible, some of the things he were coming out with.'- Crap.
0:44:42 > 0:44:46But again, we expect everything when you're drunk.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48Come on, mate.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50Not surprisingly, it doesn't work.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52His only destination is the custody suite,
0:44:52 > 0:44:56where he will be providing the breath test that will really count.

0:46:49 > 0:46:51- I...- Stop putting your hands in your pockets.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54- Martin, you're getting upset for some reason.- Just...- Calm down.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56Ultimately, he could be doing anything
0:46:56 > 0:46:59by putting his hands in there. He could have a weapon, he may want

0:47:15 > 0:47:19- Why have you come running?- I came walking round.- You didn't.- I did.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21- No, you never.- I did. I've done nothing wrong, mate.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23- That is God's honest... - Are you known to us?
0:47:23 > 0:47:25- It's not illegal to run. - Yeah.- What are you known for?
0:47:25 > 0:47:28- Burglary...- Burglary? - No, excuse me, let me finish.
0:47:28 > 0:47:31- Burglary in the past, mate. - How long since is past?

0:47:43 > 0:47:47burglaries all his life, really, from being very, very young

0:47:59 > 0:48:03- Oh, it ain't looking good for you, pal.- Listen...- Eh?- Listen!- Come on!
0:48:03 > 0:48:06He's just a pain, he's just a bit of a blight on society, really.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09He's never going to be rehabilitated, never going to stop what he's doing.

0:48:13 > 0:48:15I'm going to put it on top of this bin, all right?
0:48:15 > 0:48:18And I'll tell you now, and I've been nicked with him before,
0:48:18 > 0:48:21- and I've been let out.- I'm going to find something in here, then?- I...
0:48:21 > 0:48:23- We're building up to something here, aren't we?- No, no!
0:48:23 > 0:48:26Some ball bearings that I use for stress in my hand.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28- Ball bearings for stress in your hand?- Yeah.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30- Listen...- Not smashing windows?- No.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33- I don't smash windows, mate. - Oh, don't you?- No.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36They're not stress balls, they're ball bearings for breaking windows,
0:48:36 > 0:48:38but from then on, I think he knew, in the back of his mind,
0:48:38 > 0:48:42that he was on a hiding to nothing, because, before I had searched him
0:48:42 > 0:48:45and found things, he started to offer explanations for them.
0:48:45 > 0:48:46I'll tell you now,
0:48:46 > 0:48:49- I've got some spark plugs that I've had in my pocket for months.- Oh?
0:48:49 > 0:48:52- Some spark plugs as well?- Yeah, I've had them for months.- Funny that.
0:48:52 > 0:48:56- I've even been nicked before by him. - Right.- And I hadn't done nothing.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59- Strange that you're nicked with me now, innit?- So what?
0:48:59 > 0:49:02It's the ceramic coating around the top of the spark plug.
0:49:02 > 0:49:06It's mega, mega sharp when it's broken off into pieces.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09It's classic tools to, um, smash windows.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12The cops have more than enough evidence to arrest him.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15Next, he's going to take his coat off and he'll have a stripy jumper on
0:49:15 > 0:49:17and a black mask or something like that,
0:49:17 > 0:49:19cos it's just absolute classic burglary.
0:49:19 > 0:49:20It couldn't have been a better job for us.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24I almost could've pulled out a bag that said swag on it.

0:49:36 > 0:49:39- If it's nowt to do with you, then it's nowt to...- Nowt to do with me!
0:49:39 > 0:49:41- Well, we'll see, won't we?- Yeah.
0:49:41 > 0:49:45You try to, not to laugh, you've obviously got to remain professional,
0:49:45 > 0:49:48but in the back of your mind, you think, "These are ridiculous excuses,
0:49:48 > 0:49:51"I know what you've done, you know, why are you bothering?"
0:49:51 > 0:49:53I don't do burglaries now!
0:49:53 > 0:49:56- That...- And that is God's honest truth!- Listen to me.
0:49:56 > 0:49:57I was caught last week...
0:49:57 > 0:50:00- You're out of breath, you've got gloves on you...- Listen...
0:50:00 > 0:50:02Stuff to smash windows with.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06For information, the lad we've got locked up on suspicion of this job
0:50:06 > 0:50:09has got, um, ball bearings in his pockets and apparently spark plugs
0:50:09 > 0:50:12on his person, so if you can find any ball bearings, that'd be good.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14While the man protests his innocence...
0:50:14 > 0:50:17- Nothing to do with me! - Steady, mate.- Thank you.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20..Rob waits to hear back from officers at the burgled house...
0:50:20 > 0:50:22Right, what else is in here?
0:50:22 > 0:50:25..and then finds his own key piece of evidence.
0:50:25 > 0:50:26Is that a lady's watch?
0:50:28 > 0:50:30ON RADIO: '..window smashed, completely shattered.'
0:50:30 > 0:50:34At that point, I was thinking, "This lad is bang to rights."
0:50:34 > 0:50:36That watch has to be from the burglary.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38- Get that camera out of my- BLEEP- face!
0:50:38 > 0:50:40- Hey, listen! - Martin, calm down.- Shut up!
0:50:40 > 0:50:44And the burglar seems to know that his fate is sealed.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53Back in Bradford, Andy and Martin have arrived
0:50:53 > 0:50:56in the custody suite with their drunk driver.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00Hi, Sergeant. OK, um, he's come and sat in the back of the vehicle,
0:51:00 > 0:51:02I could smell intoxicants on his breath
0:51:02 > 0:51:05and he's provided a breath sample, um,
0:51:05 > 0:51:08of 112 micrograms in 100ml of breath.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11That's a reading more than three times over the legal limit.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24This driver had consumed an awful lot of alcohol.
0:51:24 > 0:51:25What time did you start drinking?
0:51:25 > 0:51:30Um, five, then stopped. Three hours, um...
0:51:30 > 0:51:33Then nine till 11.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35I think, no matter how drunk you are,
0:51:35 > 0:51:38at some point is that conscious decision that you're going
0:51:38 > 0:51:41to get in a car and drive it when you're not fit to drive it.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43- First question, would you like a solicitor?- Yes.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46- Anybody in particular?- Yup. - Who would that be?
0:51:46 > 0:51:50I would need a Yellow Pages or the internet, please.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52Well, you can't have the internet.
0:51:52 > 0:51:56Right, Yellow Pages, er, for Bradford and Wakefield, please?
0:51:56 > 0:51:59The cops think the driver could still be trying
0:51:59 > 0:52:01to delay his final breath test.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04He were coming out with various tactics.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07He wanted to read the Yellow Pages and the phone book at one point,
0:52:07 > 0:52:09which clearly would take you all night.
0:52:09 > 0:52:10That weren't going to happen.
0:52:10 > 0:52:15- A Miss Vollins...- Vollins? - Vollins or Rashid.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17Which company? Are they criminal solicitors?
0:52:17 > 0:52:20Don't know yet. I'll find out when I speak to them.
0:52:20 > 0:52:24- So they're not criminal solicitors, or not on our list, you can't have them.- No need to find them.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28Well, what we can do is contact the duty solicitor, which is the...
0:52:28 > 0:52:30I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm not having the duty solicitor.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32- OK.- They're absolute bullshit.
0:52:32 > 0:52:35'I have no sympathy at all for people like that. They've taken the risk.'
0:52:35 > 0:52:39They've been caught and they deserve everything they get.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42MACHINE BEEPS Keep going, keep going, keep going,
0:52:42 > 0:52:44keep going, keep going, keep going,
0:52:44 > 0:52:47keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
0:52:47 > 0:52:48BEEP! That's brilliant. That's good.
0:52:48 > 0:52:50Right, put that down.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53Your lowest reading's 83 micrograms of alcohol
0:52:53 > 0:52:55in 100ml of breath, OK?
0:52:55 > 0:52:58Er, it is over the limit. The legal limit's 35.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00So what will happen, you will be charged with driving
0:53:00 > 0:53:03whilst over the prescribed drink drive limit.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05Our priority is to save lives.
0:53:05 > 0:53:08We deal with death and destruction on a regular basis,
0:53:08 > 0:53:12far too regular, and we want to stop that or reduce it if we can
0:53:12 > 0:53:16and the only way to do that is to take these drivers off the road,
0:53:16 > 0:53:19cos they are an absolute hazard.
0:53:19 > 0:53:22In Hull, Mick and Rob are with a suspected burglar
0:53:22 > 0:53:26waiting to hear if a watch has been reported stolen from a nearby house.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30- DKNY?- Yeah, that's it.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32Happy days! What, taken from this one?
0:53:32 > 0:53:35INAUDIBLE RESPONSE, HE LAUGHS
0:53:35 > 0:53:36It gets better already.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40There was a women's DKNY watch taken from this burglary.
0:53:40 > 0:53:44He's got that in his pocket. So he's obviously done the job.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47So he's caught red-handed, so to speak.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50I've done nothing wrong and he thinks he's clever,
0:53:50 > 0:53:52getting me for something I haven't done!
0:53:52 > 0:53:54HE LAUGHS: He's going to get off with it, apparently.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57The fact that the watch from the burglary is in his pocket
0:53:57 > 0:53:59two streets away from the burglary,
0:53:59 > 0:54:01I don't think he's going to get away with it.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05So we've got a torch, some ball bearings, the spark plugs,
0:54:05 > 0:54:07and then, now we've got the watch from the house,
0:54:07 > 0:54:10from the burglary, which absolutely ties it up for us,
0:54:10 > 0:54:12it's a hole in one, doesn't get any better than that.
0:54:12 > 0:54:16With the case sewn up, the cops arrange for the burglar to be
0:54:16 > 0:54:20transported to a police station in Hull while they follow on behind.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23- Hey-hey!- Result or what? - Result or what!
0:54:23 > 0:54:26Happy days! "Whose is this watch?" "I found it."
0:54:26 > 0:54:28- "Oh, did you, in the house?" - Found it!
0:54:28 > 0:54:31- See when he took the spark plugs out of his pocket as well?- Yeah.
0:54:31 > 0:54:35"I've had them in there ages." "Have you?" "Yeah." "Oh, right, yeah."
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Like you said, every time you went into a pocket,
0:54:37 > 0:54:39it was like, "I'll tell you this as well!"
0:54:39 > 0:54:42He was absolutely bang to rights. There was no way he was going
0:54:42 > 0:54:44to wiggle out of that, no matter how much he denied it.
0:54:44 > 0:54:45But at the station,
0:54:45 > 0:54:49they find him still sticking to his unlikely story.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51There you go, mate, all right?
0:54:51 > 0:54:53- Come on.- Don't touch me, you.
0:54:53 > 0:54:57- What's up with you?- You're arresting me for...- Hey, listen!- No...
0:54:57 > 0:55:00- Calm down, Martin.- I will do. Can I just say...?- Let's go over here.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03- No, you're arresting me for something I haven't- BLEEP- done!
0:55:03 > 0:55:06- Why have you got a lady's watch in your pocket, then?- What?
0:55:06 > 0:55:09- Why have you got a lady's watch in your pocket?- I bought it!
0:55:09 > 0:55:10- Did you?- Yeah.- All right.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14Just come and stand at the desk here, buddy.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17- DESK SERGEANT:- Alleged offence? - Burglary.
0:55:17 > 0:55:18Not guilty.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23We made an area search and sighted this gentleman running...
0:55:23 > 0:55:27- No, no...- ..into Vermont Villas. - Walking, walking into Vermont.
0:55:27 > 0:55:31- When I spoke to him, he was out of breath.- Because I suffer with asthma.
0:55:31 > 0:55:35I conducted a search of his person and seized from him
0:55:35 > 0:55:40a silver women's DKNY watch from his rear pocket of his jeans
0:55:40 > 0:55:43and he was arrested on suspicion of burglary.
0:55:43 > 0:55:45Something I haven't done.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47It's harassment, that's all it is.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50He never stopped coming out with excuses, because I think...
0:55:50 > 0:55:53He's just a career criminal and I think he's got in his head
0:55:53 > 0:55:56that he has to deny it to the end, because he knows, if he makes
0:55:56 > 0:56:00any admission throughout, we will use it against him, and we will.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03He's been in the game long enough to know to deny everything
0:56:03 > 0:56:06up until the point where he's standing before the jury.
0:56:06 > 0:56:09- Do you know something? I got arrested every...- Martin...- No!
0:56:09 > 0:56:13- Stand at the desk...- Get off! - Calm down! Calm yourself down.
0:56:13 > 0:56:17- Stop it or you'll be restrained accordingly.- Don't start with that. - I have been restrained!
0:56:17 > 0:56:20- Come on, mate, this way, please. - Before you just take him,
0:56:20 > 0:56:23- I could do with seizing his clothes. - No!- We'll do it in the cell.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26- Have you got any brown bags I could borrow?- I'll get some.- Thank you.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28Where are we going, Rob?
0:56:28 > 0:56:30- Martin... - All right, all right, all right!
0:56:30 > 0:56:32- Get off!- What?- Kick your shoes off before you go in.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34- I will! - Kick your shoes off, please, pal.
0:56:36 > 0:56:37All right?
0:56:37 > 0:56:42It is a bit of a game to them, um, as much as it is to us and that's not
0:56:42 > 0:56:46to trivialise it, it's just as much as cops and robbers, if you like.
0:56:46 > 0:56:49'We're out there to catch them, they're out there to evade capture.'
0:56:49 > 0:56:51LOCK CLICKS
0:56:51 > 0:56:53We'll see his clothing for, you know, glass transfer and all that
0:56:53 > 0:56:56kind of stuff if he had smashed a window. He's covered in it, so...
0:56:58 > 0:57:02- I can't think why that would be. - No.- Perhaps he bought that as well.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05It's a shame now that we have to sit and do three hours of paperwork...
0:57:05 > 0:57:08- Yeah! Just to prove he's a burglar. - I know, yeah.
0:57:08 > 0:57:12The driver stopped with the vanload of cannabis pleaded guilty to
0:57:12 > 0:57:14possession of drugs, dangerous driving and failure to stop.
0:57:14 > 0:57:18He was given an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months.

0:57:23 > 0:57:26there had been a burglary at the cannabis house.

0:57:48 > 0:57:50he was fined £500.

0:57:52 > 0:57:55without insurance and the correct driving licence
0:57:55 > 0:57:58was also charged with obstructing a police officer.
