0:00:02 > 0:00:06- Go on!- On the run... - Get back here!- ..and over here.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hands out now. Hands out!
0:00:08 > 0:00:11When foreign criminals flee their home countries,
0:00:11 > 0:00:13many hide out in the UK.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Give me your hands.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18But if they think they're safe, they're wrong.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19They know they're wanted.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22A lot of these people are waiting for that knock on the door.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26But the traffic in fugitives isn't all one way.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Across Europe, there are hundreds of British criminals
0:00:30 > 0:00:32also trying to escape justice,
0:00:32 > 0:00:35from the sun-drenched Costas,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37where the villains seek a life of luxury,
0:00:37 > 0:00:41to the busy streets of the Dutch capital,
0:00:41 > 0:00:44where many continue their life of crime.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47We join the crack teams hunting them down.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50When you take the risk to come to Amsterdam, as a criminal,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53there's a high chance that we get you.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57When it comes to justice, borders are no barrier.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00You're under arrest under the Extradition Act 2003.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03This is how the police take down the fugitives...
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Police officer!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07..both at home and abroad.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11If you're thinking of running, don't.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13We WILL find you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15We WILL bring you back.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24On today's programme...
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Hands out now. Hands out now!
0:01:26 > 0:01:30..there's no place left to hide for an armed robber
0:01:30 > 0:01:32wanted by Polish police.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36I'm delighted that he is now out of West Yorkshire,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38and where he belongs.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41It's a rude awakening for this fraudster,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44who thought he'd got away with it.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46You need to understand that you're under arrest
0:01:46 > 0:01:48under the Extradition Act 2003.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50You do not have to say anything,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53anything you do say may be given in evidence.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55And cashing in on crime -
0:01:55 > 0:01:58how confiscating the assets of people on the run
0:01:58 > 0:02:01is helping others stay on the straight and narrow.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10West Yorkshire Police have one of the busiest extradition units
0:02:10 > 0:02:11in the country.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Get down now!
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Do not mess about!
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Other hand. Now!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18In the past six years,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22they've arrested more than 400 criminals and suspects.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Open the door, or force will be used to gain entry!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Contact.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32This is the force's extradition specialist, PC Dave Lockwood.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And he's teamed up with colleague PC Tom Allen.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Together, they track down fugitives and arrest them...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42It is the wanted person.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44..so they can be sent to face justice
0:02:44 > 0:02:47in the countries where they're wanted.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Tonight, they're after a Polish man
0:02:49 > 0:02:53convicted of a series of increasingly violent robberies.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57The offences - the first one's an attack on a shopkeeper,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59where he's gone in and stolen a till.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02The second one is a bit worse than that,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05he's basically thrown some tear gas in, and then a third one,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09he's threatened the victims with Airsoft gun and tear gas,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13and used violence on them to steal money.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Wanted in Poland,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17violent armed robber Bernard Kulewicz
0:03:17 > 0:03:20was sentenced to three years in prison,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22and has a year still to serve.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24A robbery is not that far away from a murder.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27A robbery gone wrong becomes a murder.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30And the thing about robbery is that it's a very emotional crime.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33It's a very psychological crime.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36And it requires the offender to be quite geed up,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38because it's a confrontational crime.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40So, we'll not take any chances with this lad.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- Nope.- Go in, see if he's there, do a search,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45get him cuffed and see what we deal with.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46- See what we find.- Okey dokey.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48All right, pal, let's roll.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51They have intelligence linking the wanted man
0:03:51 > 0:03:53to five different addresses.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56The first is thought to be the home of his brother.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00SOFT WHISTLE
0:04:00 > 0:04:01That side.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Do you want to...
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Tom's going to the front door, I'm going to go to the rear.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12So hopefully, he'll get contact up front,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14if you want to stick with Tom.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19While Dave covers the back exit,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Tom tries the front door for signs of life.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27There's no answer.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It looks like no-one's home.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34But now the fugitive could be tipped off that police are looking for him.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36He did live there,
0:04:36 > 0:04:37but he doesn't any more.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So we're going to shoot round to the ex-girlfriend's house now,
0:04:40 > 0:04:42before the neighbours can notify him.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44So, get there as soon as we can
0:04:44 > 0:04:46so he doesn't have chance to abscond if he's there.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52They've got to get to the next house on the list fast.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Just let me know if they're going up in twos or not, Tom?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I don't know what's front and back, mate, to be honest.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05They believe this is the home of the wanted man's ex-girlfriend.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Local police were here five weeks ago,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13responding to a report of a disturbance.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15KNOCK ON DOOR
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Dave and Tom suspect the man involved in that incident
0:05:18 > 0:05:21is the fugitive they are hunting.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Hello. Can I just come in for two secs and I'll explain to you?
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- Yeah.- But the woman who answers the door has only just moved in.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35The man they're after is long gone.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I was sure we'd get him at one of these two addresses,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41it looked really good. So I'm really gutted, to be honest,
0:05:41 > 0:05:42really disappointed.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46They try other addresses and knock on more doors.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52But tonight, they're out of luck.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56The violent criminal they're after remains at large.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Back to the drawing board.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03These officers won't be giving up the hunt.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06A month later, the Polish robber is in their sights again.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Have you run those names through?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I think it was Bernard that was the wanted male?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- OVER RADIO:- Bernard, he's showing still wanted.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18The person we're looking for is back at the address as we speak.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20We've got to go for him.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26The Spanish Costas.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30A great place for some sun, sea and sangria,
0:06:30 > 0:06:36but also a magnet for British criminals trying to escape the law.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Spain has a great lure for fugitives,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41because of how easily
0:06:41 > 0:06:44they can replicate their British life in Spain,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47so they can access English-speaking schools, the weather's good.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50They can still get things like Sky Sports.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52It sounds silly, but it's those little things
0:06:52 > 0:06:56that make life comfortable and gives them a reason to set up home there.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01One shady character who thought he could escape to the sunshine was
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Manchester-born con artist Tony Murphy.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11A fraudster with a taste for exotic and expensive foreign trips,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Murphy liked to live the high life,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17and had the holiday snaps to prove it.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Tony Murphy's offending was,
0:07:19 > 0:07:22he was heavily involved in a lot of fraudulent activity.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Things like overstating his income,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27his employment on credit card applications,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29so fraudulently obtaining credit.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Murphy got his hands on hundreds of thousands of pounds of cash
0:07:33 > 0:07:38and assets by lying through his teeth when applying for loans.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43He soon came to the attention of Greater Manchester Police.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45When you looked at the patterns
0:07:45 > 0:07:47around his finances,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and how he lived his life,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52it appeared that he was living a cash lifestyle.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56He was living well beyond any known legitimate means.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Despite evidence to the contrary, Murphy claimed to be unemployed,
0:08:02 > 0:08:07and said he'd only earned £2,000 in six years.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10But detectives knew he owned two houses,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13one of them on this street in Manchester.
0:08:13 > 0:08:19We could see from even the initial stages of a financial investigation,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22that he was what the police would term "asset rich".
0:08:22 > 0:08:25There followed a painstaking investigation,
0:08:25 > 0:08:29but police were missing the vital evidence they needed
0:08:29 > 0:08:31to prove their case.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38The idea was to expose the lies
0:08:38 > 0:08:42that were told in obtaining the mortgages,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45the credit card agreements, the credit agreements,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49that he had obtained over a series of years, really.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54In coordinated raids, officers swooped on Murphy's properties.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58We executed search warrants,
0:08:58 > 0:09:01we did that at both of his addresses that he owned.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05We actually found him here, on this road, in one of the houses here,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08which is where he was living at the time.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Murphy was arrested and eventually pleaded guilty
0:09:14 > 0:09:17to several counts of fraud.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21But rather than face time behind bars,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Murphy packed his bags and went on the run.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28He was now a fugitive.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31But, it didn't take long for the National Crime Agency
0:09:31 > 0:09:33to find out where he'd gone.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40We had some pretty good intelligence from the off that he was in Spain.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43We had some further intelligence, some financial intelligence,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45that suggested his partner in the UK
0:09:45 > 0:09:48had some financial transactions in Spain,
0:09:48 > 0:09:53which confirmed to us what we thought, that he was out there.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56His partner was travelling out to see him regularly,
0:09:56 > 0:10:00so we obviously had an overview of where she was going and when,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03which helped us to narrow it down to the Alicante region,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05so a very popular region with fugitives.
0:10:05 > 0:10:11With the NCA tracking Murphy's family, the net began to close.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Now the case was in the hands of this woman, Olga Lizana,
0:10:15 > 0:10:20who for five years ran the Spanish national police's fugitives unit.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Though Tony Murphy didn't know it,
0:10:24 > 0:10:28he was now on her list of wanted fugitives to hunt down.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I don't think Tony Murphy was stupid,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35but he never realised we were also investigating his family to get him.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Across the UK,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45a major police operation is underway
0:10:45 > 0:10:49to find foreign offenders on Britain's road network.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Today, in Redditch,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54officers Karl Lacey and Danny Evans
0:10:54 > 0:10:58are with a team checking local car washes.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02How many people are here today? Four, three?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04One, two, three?
0:11:04 > 0:11:05Nobody else?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08'The car washes are predominantly foreign workers.'
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Iraq?- Yeah.- Right, OK, you haven't got ID cards, then.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Have you got any form of ID?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16So the reasons for targeting car washes are twofold.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17The first is to make sure
0:11:17 > 0:11:20that there's no people there that shouldn't be working there.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22The second reason for going to these car washes are because,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25working with other partner agencies,
0:11:25 > 0:11:29we need to make sure that these people aren't being exploited,
0:11:29 > 0:11:32and that they have got a level of welfare.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- What's your name?- So far, all the workers here have checked out.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37But when they come to this man,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41they find he is wanted by the immigration service.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43This gentleman behind us is an absconder,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45so he's going to be getting arrested.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I'm not sure of the full circumstances,
0:11:47 > 0:11:49but he's absconded from the immigration service.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52He's not got permission to be here.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54He says he came into the country by lorry,
0:11:54 > 0:11:57but he ran away before the immigration service
0:11:57 > 0:12:00had a chance to process his case.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05PC Matt Britton makes checks to confirm his status.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Just spoken with immigration, OK?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10And at this moment in time, they've informed me that you've failed
0:12:10 > 0:12:14to comply with the terms of your temporary release. OK?
0:12:14 > 0:12:15INDISTINCT
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Right, OK.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I've spoken with the immigration service,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22they need to have a chat to you, OK?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25So, at this moment in time, you are under arrest for that offence.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27They're going on for your safety and mine,
0:12:27 > 0:12:31because I envisage you might be a bit quicker on your toes then me,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33all right? Do you want to go and swap your shoes over, then?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I'll just keep hold of you, mate, so you don't fall flat on your nose.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Jump down.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Now he'll be taken to Kidderminster police station,
0:12:41 > 0:12:45where he'll be interviewed by the immigration service.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Have you got anything on you that you shouldn't have?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Once the runaway is handed over,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55the team head out to their next car wash.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57This one's in Hereford,
0:12:57 > 0:13:02and Karl suspects another illegal immigrant could be working there.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Acting on some intelligence, we are going to a local car wash,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11where it's possible that a person
0:13:11 > 0:13:14who is in the country has overstayed their visa.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17A couple of other marked police cars
0:13:17 > 0:13:21and an immigration service van are also involved in this operation.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24They're trying to keep a low profile,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27so the team assemble at a nearby car park.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Literally driven through Hereford town centre in a convoy,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33and already it's obviously turning people's heads,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36because it's an unusual sight, they don't see it.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39And we've not got much time to move on this,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42we've literally got one shot to go and hit this premises.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Because if we spook anybody,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47straightaway, people will just withdraw,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49start closing doors,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52and we won't be able to find this individual that we are after.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55So we need to move pretty quick, now.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59With all the team in place, they make their move.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- Hello!- Hello.- How are you doing? Are you all right, sir?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06We're just doing some checks on you, OK?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08On arrival, Danny immediately seeks out
0:14:08 > 0:14:10the alarmed owner of the business.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12We don't obviously want to ruin your business and obviously,
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- we'll make some checks. - That's fine.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Where are all your documents? In the premises?- Here.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19OK, all right. We'll just get you through, then.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Can the three of you just take...
0:14:21 > 0:14:24take me in to get the passports, yeah?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Danny follows the owner to his office,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31so he can see if the man they're after is one of the employees.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Are you, are you all Romanian here?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35No, I'm Egyptian, but I'm British citizen as well.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Right, OK. Are you living somewhere else at the moment?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- INDISTINCT REPLY - OK, that's fine, all right.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- So, let me do some routine checks, then.- Yeah.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45We're happy we've identified everyone here at the moment,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49we've got their details. It's just in the process of checking people.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50I don't think,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54initially, that the guy that we're after is here at the moment.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55That's all good, thank you, sir.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Thank you. Everything is all right, yes?- Yeah, yeah.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00The search has led to nothing.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03The man they're looking for clearly isn't working here today.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I would imagine that once it's all settled down,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08we will make some enquiries of people that do work here
0:15:08 > 0:15:10and see if they point us in the right direction.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11No, different date of birth.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14But just as they're preparing to head off
0:15:14 > 0:15:19to check out a new address they've been given, they get a lucky break.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Literally, just as we are leaving and pack up, ready to go,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25casually, the guy that we're looking for
0:15:25 > 0:15:27was just walking down the street.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Jump in the car for me, sir.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Me and Karl jump out and detain him.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36This man matches the photo they have on the arrest warrant,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39but he's giving police a different name.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41You've got no ID on you at all?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43So I just need your right index finger, so this one.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Index finger.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48And your left one, please.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50A quick check of his fingerprints
0:15:50 > 0:15:54confirms this IS the man they're looking for.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Where are you from? Where are you from?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Egypt.- Sorry? Egypt?- Yeah.- OK.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Further questioning reveals
0:16:01 > 0:16:04he's been living in the UK under a false identity.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Enquiries revealed that he's...
0:16:07 > 0:16:09He's an illegal immigrant, ultimately.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13It turns out that he's actually the brother of the car wash owner...
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Is this your brother, yeah?- Don't worry about that.- At home.- At home?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Where do you live?- Can you step away a second, please?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23..who's clearly agitated by his arrest.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28It was more by luck that, as we were literally about to pull away
0:16:28 > 0:16:33from the location, the gent's walked towards the car wash.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37It's a mystery, really, how it happened.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43A couple of minutes earlier or later and we'd have been out of that area.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Bit of luck. We've got this guy.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50This fugitive has strolled straight into the arms of the law.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53He'll be taken to Hereford police station
0:16:53 > 0:16:56and faces being deported back to Egypt.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Fugitives on the run might think they've escaped justice
0:17:08 > 0:17:10when they cross the border,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12but they'd be wrong.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Police officers like to arrest people who have fled
0:17:15 > 0:17:16and who are fugitives.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It's part of why you join.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21It's the job of the National Crime Agency
0:17:21 > 0:17:25to track down foreign criminals who've fled to the UK.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31These individuals have committed crimes somewhere in Europe,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33have fled and are wanted.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37They may continue to commit crime when they're in the UK.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41So it's in the UK's interest for us to deal with these people
0:17:41 > 0:17:44and to send them back to where they're wanted.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48Although the UK's relationship with the EU is changing,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50one of the most powerful tools
0:17:50 > 0:17:54at the NCA's disposal remains the European Arrest Warrant.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00We receive 18,000 new European Arrest Warrants every single year.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04So hundreds a week. We put them on the Police National Computer
0:18:04 > 0:18:06and from that point onwards,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10any police officer within the United Kingdom
0:18:10 > 0:18:13can arrest that individual for the European Arrest Warrant.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Any fugitive named on a European Arrest Warrant will find themselves
0:18:18 > 0:18:21instantly wanted across 32 countries.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24At the click of a button, it is Europe wide,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27within milliseconds,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29so any police officer on the street,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32if they happen to stop that individual,
0:18:32 > 0:18:34they will know there and then
0:18:34 > 0:18:37that they are wanted and be able to arrest them.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39And the system works both ways.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43The National Crime Agency also leads the hunt for British criminals
0:18:43 > 0:18:46who've gone on the run.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49There are essentially two types of European Arrest Warrant.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52You have incoming, from Europe to the UK,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55and outgoing, from the UK to Europe.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57We don't send very many.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00About 170 or so a year.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04We are looking at people who have committed serious robberies,
0:19:04 > 0:19:09drug dealing, serious child sexual exploitation offences.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Murder, rape, etc.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14The more serious end of the scale of criminality.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16And I think it's right that the UK does that.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21Irrespective of whether European Arrest Warrants continue to operate
0:19:21 > 0:19:25in the same way, the message for fugitives is clear.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27We WILL keep looking for you.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29We WILL find you.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32We WILL bring you back.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37In West Yorkshire,
0:19:37 > 0:19:41police officers Dave Lockwood and Tom Allen are out
0:19:41 > 0:19:45hunting fugitives wanted on European Arrest Warrants.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54The further you run and the longer you've been at large,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57the more convinced you are of your freedom.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59But, actually, that brings you closer to being caught
0:19:59 > 0:20:01because it's inevitable that, at some point,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04you'll come to the attention of police,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06particularly if you're committing offences.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11A month ago, they were looking for this man, Bernard Kulewicz,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14a convicted armed robber wanted in Poland,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17but so far, he's given them the slip.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Now, tonight, more than four weeks later,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22a call comes through over the radio.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Have you run those names through?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I think it was Bernard that was the wanted male.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- OVER RADIO:- Bernard, he's showing still wanted.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34We've got to go for him.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37It's a reported sighting of the criminal they've been chasing
0:20:37 > 0:20:39for more than a month.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43The person we're looking for is back at the address as we speak.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46So we're going to get across to South Elmsall
0:20:46 > 0:20:48and see if we can lock him up.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Dave and Tom need to make their way across town as fast as they can.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56This is the first time anybody's seen him at the address,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59so we don't know how long he's going to be there.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01So the quicker we can get there,
0:21:01 > 0:21:05the more chance we've got that he will still be at the property.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15They arrive back at the house they visited a few weeks earlier.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35But after repeated knocking, no-one's answering.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40We've got down here as soon as we could,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42we're covering front and rear
0:21:42 > 0:21:45and we're putting challenges in at the address,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48knocking on the door, flashing our lights, and we're getting nothing.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Dave's in no mood to give up the hunt.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I'm not willing to come away from this address without going in,
0:21:55 > 0:21:58so we've got some more officers en route down to us.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I think the plan will be, they'll cover the rear,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Tom and I at the front, and we go in and do a search.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Dave and Tom get ready to force entry into the house.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14But just as they're about to put the door in, it's opened.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16- Hello.- Yes, hello.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18OK.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Dave, someone's answered.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- What's your name?- My name? - BLEEP
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Who else is in the house?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- My baby.- Just you and your baby?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- No men?- No.- Right.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Are there any men in the house?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- My baby is here, please go out. - Anybody else?- No.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Right, we've been told... We have information...
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- Yes.- ..that a wanted male is in this house.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44- No.- Called Bernard.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46There's nobody here.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50The woman insists there's no-one else in the house.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52But they're not convinced.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57The man they're looking for has a history of serious violence.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Dave's called for backup to help with the search.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03We've got an uncooperative female,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05she's finally opened the door and we've got the ram here.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Tom's just doing a search.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10If you want to hold the door and watch the windows, I'll back him up.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15The officers start searching for any sign of the fugitive.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18There's nothing here. No documents or owt.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22She's got kiddie things on everything.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26No. No ID, no nothing.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I've got her ID. Is there a cellar? Downstairs?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Yes. No, it's nothing. - There's nothing.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- What's this here? - It's just a cupboard I think, mate.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37The house is bare,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40and the officers find no sign of the wanted man.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44But now they are sure the woman knows exactly
0:23:44 > 0:23:46who they are looking for.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49We've searched the premises. Looking at the identification,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53I believe it's the girlfriend of the wanted male.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Girlfriend, partner, wife.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Whatever she is, she's uncooperative.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03For now, it seems this armed robber
0:24:03 > 0:24:05has once again dodged the law.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08But the night's not over yet.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Bernard.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Bernard, come out.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23When fugitives are caught, they are often locked up.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27But it's not the only punishment these criminals face.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Police can also seize the cash and assets they've made
0:24:30 > 0:24:33from their criminal activity.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Here in the West Midlands,
0:24:36 > 0:24:41the spoils of crime are now lots at a special auction.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Police auctions always create a great deal of interest.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48They want to see how the other half live,
0:24:48 > 0:24:49and the criminals generally seem
0:24:49 > 0:24:52to have been living quite a good life,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54judging by the things that we see going through the auctions.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58Most of the items here have come from small-time criminals.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01There's no shortage of power tools and television sets,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04but if you're lucky,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07you might just be able to snap up a big-ticket item.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12We do get things such as top-end watches
0:25:12 > 0:25:15and items of jewellery.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19People who commit crimes for financial gain
0:25:19 > 0:25:23don't want to be separated from their fast cars and big houses
0:25:23 > 0:25:25and luxury goods.
0:25:25 > 0:25:32It's all made possible by a law called the Proceeds of Crime Act.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35One of the key reasons that criminals commit crimes
0:25:35 > 0:25:37is to get stuff, to acquire property.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41The Proceeds of Crime Act doesn't worry so much about the person.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42It doesn't worry about the fugitive,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44it goes after the property.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Now, this is a very powerful tool for law enforcement,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49because if you can get at a criminal's assets
0:25:49 > 0:25:51and get at his money,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54then you can remove the incentive to do crimes
0:25:54 > 0:25:58that are all focused on getting property for that criminal.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03This fleet of supercars was part of an incredible haul of property
0:26:03 > 0:26:06confiscated by the National Crime Agency.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09They raised well over £1 million
0:26:09 > 0:26:11when they were sold at auction in 2015.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13758...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16They used to belong to a man called Alexander Surin,
0:26:16 > 0:26:20earning him the nickname of Don CAR-leone.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Alexander Surin is a career criminal
0:26:24 > 0:26:26and he's amassed huge amounts of wealth.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28He has been investigated
0:26:28 > 0:26:31and some successful prosecutions against him
0:26:31 > 0:26:34for fraud and drug smuggling.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Surin's wealth became the subject of a five-year investigation
0:26:38 > 0:26:42when he was linked to a massive drug-smuggling operation in France
0:26:42 > 0:26:44in 2009.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49We were able to see that there were no legitimate means
0:26:49 > 0:26:51by which he had acquired those assets.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56The National Crime Agency took the case to the High Court and got
0:26:56 > 0:26:59permission to freeze Surin's assets.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01We can lock these people up
0:27:01 > 0:27:05but, ultimately, stripping them of their millionaire status
0:27:05 > 0:27:09by the removal of the proceeds of their crimes, this hurts,
0:27:09 > 0:27:10and it hits where it hurts.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14While Surin didn't agree with the agency's case,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17he decided not to return to the UK
0:27:17 > 0:27:20to contest the evidence at trial, and in February 2015,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23the NCA confiscated cars,
0:27:23 > 0:27:28cash and property worth over £5 million.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31This is a particularly important case for us.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35It's exactly what the Proceeds of Crime Act was designed to do -
0:27:35 > 0:27:38this is to take off huge amounts of wealth and status
0:27:38 > 0:27:43away from high-end criminals who have been causing harm to the UK,
0:27:43 > 0:27:47its citizens and its communities for long periods of time.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54The money raised from the sale of criminals' ill-gotten gains
0:27:54 > 0:27:56is used to fund community projects,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59like this boxing club for kids in Solihull.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Good. There you go. So, a little feint and then throw your backhand.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05So, one, two, feint, backhand.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Yeah, got it? Let's go.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12In 2014, they received a proceeds of crime donation of ten grand.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21It led to obviously being able to enhance the gym,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24make it much better, give the kids a lot more variety, more options.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Proceeds of crime funds and the money that that generates,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30the amount of kids that we can get off the street,
0:28:30 > 0:28:33the amount of kids that we can keep on the straight and narrow,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36because of this money, I believe it could change anyone's life.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39In short, the Proceeds of Crime Act
0:28:39 > 0:28:43hits criminals hard, and turns bad money to good.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Across the UK, a major week-long operation is underway,
0:28:55 > 0:28:59aimed at taking foreign offenders off the streets.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06It's coming up to five in the morning.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07In the West Midlands,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Sergeant Ian Hands is on his way
0:29:09 > 0:29:13to check out a fresh lead on a wanted fugitive.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17We're just en route to an address in West Brom,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20where there's a Polish lad
0:29:20 > 0:29:25that's wanted on a European Arrest Warrant for fraud.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30The man Ian's after is convicted fraudster Grzegorz Badura.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34He was sentenced to two years in prison back in 2005,
0:29:34 > 0:29:39but went on the run after serving just seven months.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Now he's been traced to an address in West Bromwich.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48All week, there's been no answer, but today,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51a routine patrol has brought a breakthrough.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54This morning, one of the other cars
0:29:54 > 0:29:56has just been past
0:29:56 > 0:30:00and this male's vehicle is parked up on the driveway.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04We know it's his, it's registered to him and insured to him.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Ian's hoping this extremely early morning call
0:30:07 > 0:30:10will allow him to catch Badura unawares.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13I'm just coming up the road now.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18So we'll go straight towards the front and then hit the door.
0:30:24 > 0:30:30Pulling up quietly, Ian meets two other officers at the house.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34BANGING ON DOOR
0:30:35 > 0:30:40As it's so early, it takes a little while for the door to be answered.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Hello, chap.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48And it's opened by the man they're after,
0:30:48 > 0:30:50a rather groggy Badura.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53You don't want to let your dog out, do you?
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- Grzegorz Badura?- Yes.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00OK. Mate, we've got a European Arrest Warrant out for your arrest
0:31:00 > 0:31:03for fraud back in Poland.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06We've managed to get back there, knock the door and, good as gold,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09he was there, not expecting us.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Still asleep in his bed with his wife.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14He was shocked to see us,
0:31:14 > 0:31:17but on then speaking to him, once he'd let us into his house,
0:31:17 > 0:31:22he knew about the European Arrest Warrant, he knew that was in force.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- Are you aware of this?- Yeah.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Yeah?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28What? Sorry?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- Is dealing with it?- Yeah.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Because there's a warrant out for your arrest,
0:31:32 > 0:31:34we have to take you to the police station.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Can I get dressed?- Yeah. We'll get you dressed and everything,
0:31:37 > 0:31:38we won't take you out like that.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41He felt he was safe because he'd spoken to his solicitor
0:31:41 > 0:31:45but, ultimately, until that arrest warrant is taken out of force,
0:31:45 > 0:31:47it's still there for us to execute.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Just to be sure, while Badura's getting ready
0:31:50 > 0:31:52and saying goodbye to his wife upstairs,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Ian double-checks with the police control room
0:31:55 > 0:31:58that his warrant's still in effect.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Yeah, yeah, so the warrant's still live.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Everything's still in order. We'll phone up the custody block,
0:32:03 > 0:32:06see if we can get him in at Smethwick police station.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07And he'll be taken there now.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12The wanted man was convicted of seven fraud offences in Poland
0:32:12 > 0:32:13back in 2005,
0:32:13 > 0:32:18and still has a year-and-a-half of his prison sentence left to serve.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22The past has caught up with him back in Poland and
0:32:22 > 0:32:27he'll have to be processed and sent back there to be dealt with.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29You all right, mate?
0:32:31 > 0:32:35It's highly unlikely. Highly unlikely, mate.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Grzegorz, you need to understand that you're under arrest
0:32:37 > 0:32:39under the Extradition Act of 2003.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42You do not have to say anything,
0:32:42 > 0:32:44but anything you do say may be given in evidence.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Fraudster Badura is taken into custody.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50He's found out to his cost
0:32:50 > 0:32:53that the UK is no safe haven for criminals
0:32:53 > 0:32:55who haven't done their time elsewhere.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57So, he's been here a number of years.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59He had his family there, he was all set up.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01It was a nice clean home.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04He had a fairly new house, new car.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07He was working full time, his wife's working full time.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11He thought he was settled and up and running in this country and,
0:33:11 > 0:33:16unfortunately, on that morning, we've changed his life for a while.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Back in October 2012,
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Tony Murphy, a fraudster with a taste for adventure,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32went on the run.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35He pleaded guilty to charges of fraud and money-laundering
0:33:35 > 0:33:38worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42But instead of returning to court to be sentenced,
0:33:42 > 0:33:45he did a runner and headed for Spain.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48What we find in Spain a lot of the time is that's their end goal.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50That's their end destination,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52so a lot of them want to move there and set up their life there.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55And for a lot of them, they just want a normal life,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58they want to carry on as if nothing's happened in the UK,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00as if they have no past.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03In the UK, it's the National Crime Agency
0:34:03 > 0:34:06who lead the search for British fugitives abroad.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Once they knew that Murphy had gone to Spain,
0:34:09 > 0:34:12they turned to Inspector Olga Lizana
0:34:12 > 0:34:15to try and pinpoint his exact location.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21At the beginning, we didn't get much information about Tony Murphy.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26We just knew he was moving around Calpe and Benidorm,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Alicante, all the places like that.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Tried to check all that information,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34but we were always a little bit late.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Meanwhile, back in Britain,
0:34:36 > 0:34:40the National Crime Agency was tracking Murphy's family.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43His partner was travelling out.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46We knew when she was travelling out, we knew how she was travelling out.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49So for us to pass that information to the Spanish,
0:34:49 > 0:34:51it was invaluable for them.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53She travelled out there several times,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56so we built up a pattern of when she travelled, and once the Spanish did
0:34:56 > 0:34:58start looking at her movements,
0:34:58 > 0:35:02we were able to put a picture together of where we thought he was.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05And when Murphy decided to bring his partner and kids out to Spain
0:35:05 > 0:35:10to live permanently, police were waiting and watching.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14All the information we can have about the fugitives
0:35:14 > 0:35:15helps us to find them.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18The kids are a good piece of information
0:35:18 > 0:35:21because, well, more British fugitives
0:35:21 > 0:35:23that have got kids here in Spain,
0:35:23 > 0:35:25they take them to British schools.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29The family settled in the village of Muxtamel near Alicante,
0:35:29 > 0:35:31amongst a large community of British expats.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34With the academic year just beginning,
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Murphy enrolled his kids at an English school.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41So we make some enquiries about two kids
0:35:41 > 0:35:43because they've got two little kids.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46We were sure they were at school here.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49And we'd just tried to find out what the school was.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Police surveillance soon spotted Murphy
0:35:54 > 0:35:56regularly doing the school run.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01It gave Spanish police the ideal opportunity to arrest him.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Jose Luis led Alicante's serious crime team.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09TRANSLATION:
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Murphy put up a fight as Jose tried to arrest him.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38After a year on the run,
0:36:38 > 0:36:42Tony Murphy's time as a fugitive was at an end.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46He had changed a little bit.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50He cut his hair and, you know, the sun here is nice,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52so his skin was a little bit different.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54But we were sure it was him.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57One of the best times to arrest someone
0:36:57 > 0:36:58is when they're not expecting it,
0:36:58 > 0:37:01when they're doing something as mundane as the school run.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03They don't expect to be arrested,
0:37:03 > 0:37:05so that was a really good time to take him out.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Back in Manchester,
0:37:07 > 0:37:11the arrest reinforced the police's warning to those who go on the run.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Ultimately, you will be caught and we will catch up with you.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17It might be by design, or it might be by accident,
0:37:17 > 0:37:21but you will have to come back, and it's not going away.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27In West Yorkshire,
0:37:27 > 0:37:32officers Dave Lockwood and Tom Allen have been chasing a violent criminal
0:37:32 > 0:37:34wanted for armed robbery.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38But since they first tried to find him a month ago,
0:37:38 > 0:37:41this fugitive has managed to evade capture.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I was sure we'd get him at one of these two addresses.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46It looked really good. I'm really gutted we haven't.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Really disappointed.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50After weeks of hunting for him,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53they've had a tip-off that the man they're after, Bernard Kulewicz,
0:37:53 > 0:37:56is right here in this house tonight.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02But the woman who answered the door is adamant
0:38:02 > 0:38:04there is no wanted man here.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Nobody here.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- Is Bernard here?- Please go.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Tom and Dave search the property from top to bottom,
0:38:12 > 0:38:14but they find nothing.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17There's nothing here. No documents or owt.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Until, finally, a clue.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25What did strike me as odd, though,
0:38:25 > 0:38:28was the fact that she was willing to answer the door
0:38:28 > 0:38:32whilst leaving her young baby, young child, upstairs alone.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35And then, when we've gone back in and done a further search,
0:38:35 > 0:38:40noticed a pair of trainers which are a UK size 8.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Bernard. Bernard, come out.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52Hands out now. Hands out now.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54MAN SHOUTS
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- Who are you?- Lucas.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00All right. Don't mess about.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Let him cuff you.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03I noticed instead of a bed,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06they had two single mattresses on the floor,
0:39:06 > 0:39:08with a gap down the middle.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11So, a little tap down the middle, found a foot,
0:39:11 > 0:39:13which is when I shouted Dave up,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17just in case he did want to try his best to get away.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Yours?
0:39:18 > 0:39:24The man claims his name is Lucas, and hands over an identity card.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Tom doesn't believe the card is genuine.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Why are you hiding?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Why hiding?
0:39:32 > 0:39:36The false ID isn't fooling anyone...
0:39:37 > 0:39:42..because the officers have a secret weapon they can turn to.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44I'll get the fingerprint machine, just to make sure. I'll go grab it.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Stay there.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49The advantage of having the mobile device is exactly that,
0:39:49 > 0:39:52that it's mobile. It's with the officers at the time.
0:39:52 > 0:39:57They anticipate that identity may be doubted or smoke-screen questioned
0:39:57 > 0:40:00and, therefore, to have it accessible, there and then,
0:40:00 > 0:40:04to require the person to provide a fingerprint, and then,
0:40:04 > 0:40:06in a short space of time,
0:40:06 > 0:40:10to have a definitive answer as to who that person is,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13it saves time and it also avoids
0:40:13 > 0:40:15that confrontation and that argument,
0:40:15 > 0:40:18that perpetuation of, "No, that's not me."
0:40:18 > 0:40:20The facts speak for themselves.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24It takes just one minute for the fingerprint machine to check the
0:40:24 > 0:40:29Europe-wide security system and prove this is Bernard Kulewicz,
0:40:29 > 0:40:33the violent robber already convicted in Poland.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35- Boom.- Boom.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39You're under arrest for three robberies, one of which is armed.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42You do not have to say anything, but anything you do say
0:40:42 > 0:40:44may be used in evidence.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49After hiding, lying and providing fraudulent documents,
0:40:49 > 0:40:53this slippery criminal has finally been brought to book.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58The concealment of the man within the premises, that was good.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00But not as good as Dave.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03I was delighted that we caught him the way that we did.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07And I'm delighted that he's now out of West Yorkshire
0:41:07 > 0:41:09and where he belongs.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14He is under arrest for three offences of robbery
0:41:14 > 0:41:17that occurred in Poland.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19His girlfriend is not impressed.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Gents, can't thank you enough. - No problem at all.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Come here. No, this side.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33You sit here, stay there.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37With what he's done now, no chance he's getting bail.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Not a chance in hell.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Just when you think you're having a bad night,
0:41:41 > 0:41:43it all comes nice.
0:41:43 > 0:41:48Even once this robber is taken into custody, he's still trying to hide,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50this time from the camera.
0:41:52 > 0:41:58He's under arrest. It's 5.45am and we've got a lot to do in
0:41:58 > 0:42:01a short space of time. A month to the day, I think,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04since we started looking for this chap.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08So, absolutely fantastic to get him in, especially what he's wanted for.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16I'm sure the public will be very happy
0:42:16 > 0:42:18we've got this lad off the street.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22- BLEEP.- These handcuffs aren't coming off until you stop being aggressive.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- BLEEP.- All right?
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Come here.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28BLEEP.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30You need to calm down, fella.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32- Calm down?- BLEEP.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35But no matter how much he doesn't like it,
0:42:35 > 0:42:40this criminal's days on the run look to be over.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42In here, shoes off. Shoes off.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Shoes.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47See you later.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Job done.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00For fraudster Tony Murphy, the high life was over.
0:43:00 > 0:43:05He was sent back to the UK to start his two-and-a-half year sentence.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11Both the illegal immigrants detained at the car washes
0:43:11 > 0:43:14are being dealt with by the immigration service.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20Polish fraudster Badura appealed against his extradition,
0:43:20 > 0:43:22but the judge turned him down
0:43:22 > 0:43:26and he was sent home on a military plane in June 2016.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31And the armed robber caught hiding between the mattresses
0:43:31 > 0:43:35is now back behind bars in Poland.
0:43:35 > 0:43:36See you later.
0:43:39 > 0:43:40Job done.
