0:00:02 > 0:00:05- Come on!- On the run... - Get back here!
0:00:05 > 0:00:06..and over here.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Hands out now. Hands out.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11When foreign criminals flee their home countries,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14many hide out in the UK.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Give me your hands.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17But if they think they're safe, they're wrong.
0:00:17 > 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.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Across Europe, there are hundreds of British criminals
0:00:30 > 0:00:33also trying to escape justice.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35From the sun-drenched Costas
0:00:35 > 0:00:38where the villains seek a life of luxury...
0:00:38 > 0:00:41to the busy streets of the Dutch capital
0:00:41 > 0:00:45where many continue their life of crime.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48We join the crack teams hunting them down.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51When you take the risk to come to Amsterdam as a criminal,
0:00:51 > 0:00:53there's a high chance that we'll 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 > 0:01:04This is how the police take down the fugitives...
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Police officer.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07..both at home and abroad.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11If you're thinking of running, don't.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12We will find you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:15We will bring you back.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28On today's programme - on the run for seven years.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30How a man who made a dramatic escape
0:01:30 > 0:01:35from a British courtroom was found by fugitive hunters in Spain.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39They told me he was a crazy man, so if you find him,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42just be really careful with this guy.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43In Coventry...
0:01:43 > 0:01:45KNOCKING
0:01:45 > 0:01:48..it's time for this murderer to pack up and leave.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Being dealt with for a murder in Poland
0:01:51 > 0:01:53and that's why we've been notified that the Home Office
0:01:53 > 0:01:56no longer wish him to be in the UK.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59And the Polish policeman on the beat in the UK,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02hunting for men on the run from his own country
0:02:02 > 0:02:05with the help of satellite TV.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14In London, the Metropolitan Police's extradition unit
0:02:14 > 0:02:17specialises in tracking down fugitives.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Hello. It's the police. Can you open the door, please?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Teams of detectives work round the clock hunting for foreign criminals
0:02:28 > 0:02:30hiding in the UK.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34It's a manhunt unit. We're looking at finding people
0:02:34 > 0:02:35rather than investigating the crimes.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Come out. Keep your hands up.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Keep your hands up.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40She knows you're waiting.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Detective Sergeant Pete Rance is leading a team on an operation
0:02:45 > 0:02:49to clear up outstanding European Arrest Warrants in the capital.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50That one, I just see that
0:02:50 > 0:02:52as a straightforward approach to the address.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54We'll see if he's in.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57No country issues more of these than Poland.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Last year, Polish arrest warrants accounted for more than half
0:03:02 > 0:03:05of all the work carried out by the extradition unit.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06The third one, we might have to have
0:03:06 > 0:03:08a little bit of a closer think about.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10When we get out there, we'll have another look at it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12If these two are blown out, we'll have a think about this.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14To get through all these arrest warrants,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Pete has drafted in two officers on loan
0:03:17 > 0:03:20from the Polish national police force.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23It's really helped. It gives us a fast time link
0:03:23 > 0:03:25back into Poland
0:03:25 > 0:03:27to check on intelligence,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29to come out with us operationally,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32to be in the background and listen to what some of these Polish guys
0:03:32 > 0:03:36and people are speaking to each other about and it's really,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39really been beneficial to the work of the unit.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Right.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- Everyone good to go?- Yes.- Smashing.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50It's just gone six in the morning and the team is out on the road.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54The first fugitive on this morning's list
0:03:54 > 0:03:58is a convicted drug dealer called Adrian Parada.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02The court has already ordered his extradition to Poland,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06but he's absconded before he could be removed from the UK.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07KNOCKING
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- DOG BARKING - It's the police. Open the door.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Keep the dog away.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Good morning.- Morning. - We're from the police.- Yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Just need to establish who lives here.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Pete and one of the Polish officers
0:04:24 > 0:04:27go in to talk to one of the women who lives here.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28She doesn't speak any English,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31but could be connected to the wanted man.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34'This is where they really come into their own, the Polish officers.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38'When you turn up at an address and very little English is spoken,'
0:04:38 > 0:04:42the ability to have somebody there, or the resource
0:04:42 > 0:04:46of having somebody there to tell you what is actually being said
0:04:46 > 0:04:48is extremely useful.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52The woman tells Polish officer Christoph Brodowicz
0:04:52 > 0:04:55that the fugitive did used to live here,
0:04:55 > 0:04:56but he's now moved on.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Chris, you're probably best to give the update on this.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03We've searched the property, he's not in there.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06You can see the lady's happy for us to go in and look around.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09She had been in a relationship with him, but...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- With new man.- A new man.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13They've got a child.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Five months...
0:05:15 > 0:05:17..old. So...
0:05:17 > 0:05:20What did she say around the last contact with Parada?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23It was just before the last arresting of him.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26After that they...
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- ..broke?- Split up.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Split up, yes.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- Split up, and she hasn't seen him since that time.- OK.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42It's on to the next job - another Polish national.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48He's been found guilty of attempted car theft back home.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52There's no criminal convictions or history here in the UK.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53It's just...
0:05:53 > 0:06:00He's got a couple of convictions for car crime in Poland.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02A European Arrest Warrant has been issued and if he's here,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04he'll get nicked on the warrant.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08The residents of this house, it turns out,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11have been expecting the police,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13but for a completely different reason.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Good morning, sir. From the police.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Yeah. I call for police.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- You called the police?- Yeah. - Why?- Because someone...
0:06:23 > 0:06:27..er...break the... Someone knock my window.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Oh, you've been burgled?- Yeah.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- When, this morning, or...? - Yeah, yeah.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34We're here for a different reason. We're not here for the burglary.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I'm sorry that you've had that happen to you,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39but are you OK if we just go and knock on a door?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41It's a strange coincidence.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Pete makes it clear he's not here to investigate the burglary
0:06:45 > 0:06:46and heads upstairs.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Hello, sir. Sorry to trouble you. From the police.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I just need to see your ID card, if that's OK?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- What's your name?- Maciej.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- And your family name?- Pilat.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04OK. Can I see your ID card, please, Maciej?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Another bizarre coincidence.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Although this man has the same name as the fugitive Pete's after,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13it's not the same person.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15This guy's called Maciej Pilat.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17That's my name.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19But he has a different date of birth, I think.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- OK.- So we think we have the wrong person, sir.- OK.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25It's...a mistake. I'm really sorry to have troubled you.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Thanks for your time. Take care.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29All right. We won't trouble you again.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32The intelligence we had was that a guy called Maciej Pilat
0:07:32 > 0:07:34was living in the loft room at the address.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38We've obviously been given consent to go in and knock on his door.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Gone up there, he's answered the door willingly.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43It is Maciej Pilat, but it's a different Maciej Pilat.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Apparently, Pilat is quite a common name in Poland
0:07:46 > 0:07:50and the guy we want is... You know, the photographs don't compare.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54It's obviously two completely different people.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So we've said sorry to him for his trouble
0:07:56 > 0:07:58and we'll now move on to the next one.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04It's been a frustrating morning so far,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06but there's no time to hang around.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10Pete still has more fugitives to find and knows his best chance of
0:08:10 > 0:08:15catching them is with an early door knock, so there's no time to lose.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26This is Andrew Moran, a dangerous armed robber.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29After a dramatic escape from his own trial,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31he thought he could stay on the run forever.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37But seven years of determined policing at home and abroad
0:08:37 > 0:08:39led to a dramatic arrest,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42a lesson for all fugitives.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45People run, but increasingly with the use of modern technologies,
0:08:45 > 0:08:49there really isn't anywhere to hide any more, and we will get you.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51We'll find you. We'll bring you back.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53There is no hiding place.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00It all started on a May morning in 2005
0:09:00 > 0:09:03at an Asda store in Colne, Lancashire.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Two men arrived in the car park on a motorbike
0:09:07 > 0:09:10and staged a violent robbery.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Their target was this Royal Mail cash delivery van.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20They were armed with machetes, using them to attack one of the guards,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23injuring his arms and shoulders.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25They also threatened him with a gun.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29During the attack, he thought he was going to die.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32That he was either going to be shot or that the blows with the machete
0:09:32 > 0:09:34were going to kill him. The robbers threatened to kill him
0:09:34 > 0:09:37while they were demanding money from the back of the van
0:09:37 > 0:09:39and in order to get his colleague
0:09:39 > 0:09:43to pass the cash out, one told the other one just to shoot him.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49Fearing for his life, the guard handed over £25,000.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53The men sped away on their bike, but it was soon abandoned.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56We had a starting point then with the motorbike that had been found.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03DNA evidence on the bike led them to a known criminal whose phone records
0:10:03 > 0:10:08then revealed that the second robber was someone nicknamed Faggy,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10but detectives needed to know his real name.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Nobody knew who Faggy was,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17which seemed really unusual from my point of view.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21If it's somebody that's attacking Royal Mail vans
0:10:21 > 0:10:24with guns and machetes, you would think it would be somebody
0:10:24 > 0:10:26that's come across the radar of the police somewhere
0:10:26 > 0:10:29and that somebody would know this person called Faggy.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32But at least they had his phone number
0:10:32 > 0:10:36and for 18 months, detectives monitored his calls.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39They began to suspect that the man behind the nickname
0:10:39 > 0:10:41was convicted criminal Andrew Moran.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46One frequently dialled number gave him away.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48We found a girl in the Manchester area
0:10:48 > 0:10:50that the phone rang all the time.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53She admitted that she was Andrew Moran's girlfriend.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Andrew Moran was already well known to police elsewhere in the country.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04He'd been on the run for a number of years from Manchester,
0:11:04 > 0:11:07so our robbery that we wanted him for
0:11:07 > 0:11:09was added to the list of the other offences
0:11:09 > 0:11:11that he was already being sought for.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16The search went quiet until one day police happened to stop Moran
0:11:16 > 0:11:18on a Manchester street.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22He was carrying false details, but the officers were having none of it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Once they tried to arrest him, he punched the officer in the face,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34ran away, but luckily they managed to chase after him, caught him.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40It was news the Lancashire team had been waiting for.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43To find out that he'd finally been arrested
0:11:43 > 0:11:46was really, really exciting.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It was sort of like feeling that you're coming towards
0:11:49 > 0:11:51the end of the, erm...
0:11:51 > 0:11:55To a successful conclusion for the investigation.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59But the officers' high hopes would soon be dashed.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Seven weeks into his trial,
0:12:01 > 0:12:04the armed robber made a dramatic bid for freedom.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09It had taken police four years to get into court.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11How long would it take to track him down again?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Every November, British police team up with the European forces
0:12:22 > 0:12:25to run a special operation targeting foreign offenders
0:12:25 > 0:12:29using the UK's transport links.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32What's great is the information and intelligence sharing.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36So if we stop a foreign driver in the UK today,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38we've got the whole range of countries that we can check their
0:12:38 > 0:12:40intelligence databases.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45The UK's central hub is in Birmingham where police,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48immigration and tax officers deal with queries.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50It might be something just as simple
0:12:50 > 0:12:53as are we able to get an image of the person
0:12:53 > 0:12:56so that that can be compared with the person that the officer
0:12:56 > 0:12:58stopped at the roadside.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03Or it might be that we need to know if they have any foreign convictions
0:13:03 > 0:13:06that obviously we can't just check with our systems in the UK.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11It's also about catching foreign criminals
0:13:11 > 0:13:14on the move around the country.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Yeah, it is a live warrant.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19He is wanted for currency fraud in Czechoslovakia,
0:13:19 > 0:13:20so you can go ahead and arrest him.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Away from the control centre,
0:13:25 > 0:13:30Sergeant Adam Jobson is one of the operations officers on the ground,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34tracking down men and women wanted by European police forces.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40You've seen someone go in, have you?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Recently, it's been tough going
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and he's been unable to track down some of his targets.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48It sounds like he has spoken to you since you've been at this address.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Now he's in Coventry and his latest job is to help local police
0:13:53 > 0:13:57catch a man who has a dangerous criminal past -
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Slawomir Mielczarek.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03He's been dealt with for a murder in Poland whereby a drunken night out
0:14:03 > 0:14:06he's been one of three people who got into a fight
0:14:06 > 0:14:09and they've ended up killing someone.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Mielczarek served his time for the killing in Poland,
0:14:14 > 0:14:15but since coming over to the UK,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19he's been in trouble with the police again on a drugs charge.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23That's why we've done the checks with his own country
0:14:23 > 0:14:26and that's why we've been notified that the Home Office
0:14:26 > 0:14:28no longer wish him to be in the UK.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Approaching from front and back,
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Adam and the other officers moved in on Mielczarek's last known address.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Hello, it's the police.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41It's a lady at the door.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Someone else.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Hello, do you mind if we come in?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- What?- We're just looking for somebody. A gentleman.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Mind if we come in? Is that OK?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55OK, does this gentleman live here?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I think it was his wife who answered the door to us.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I think she was shocked to see the police.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03They may not have known it was coming,
0:15:03 > 0:15:05but I think reality soon sets in.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Hello.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Is he here? The man?
0:15:11 > 0:15:14We're inside now, I believe he is going to be here.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Mielczarek is in and it looks like he's trapped upstairs.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Not yet, mate, if you just hang in there
0:15:24 > 0:15:26just in case he goes out the window or anything.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Do you speak English?
0:15:37 > 0:15:38No, just Polish.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40OK, Polish. We'll get you an interpreter.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42At the moment, you're under arrest.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47They have sent multiple officers as Mielczarek has a history of violence
0:15:47 > 0:15:49and has been caught by surprise.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50I'm going to handcuff him.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51I don't want him walking down the stairs
0:15:51 > 0:15:54uncuffed in case he tries to make a bolt out of the door.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Do you understand a little English?
0:15:57 > 0:16:01You are coming to the police station.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04You're all right. We're going to come down now.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It's when the cuffs go on
0:16:06 > 0:16:09that the family realise the severity of the situation.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I'm begging! I'm begging, no!
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I don't want you to come downstairs.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Wait there one second.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19We are going to put some shoes and socks on now.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Just come down the stairs.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Yes, can you confirm the block is still in order to bring out the IPC?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31As we were leaving the address,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34family members were very upset because I think, as I say,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36the reality has set in,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39that there was a chance that this person would be deported.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41We'll explain at the station, OK?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Sometimes you feel bad. It's never nice to break up families.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52But ultimately, this person was convicted for murder.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57To me that person is dangerous and I have no problem separating people
0:16:57 > 0:17:00like that who aren't fit to be in our public in the UK.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Mielczarek is taken to Coventry police station
0:17:05 > 0:17:08so that police can double-check his identity.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Once they've confirmed that this is the man
0:17:12 > 0:17:15who's already served six years in prison for murder,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18then his deportation back to Poland can go ahead.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27In March 2009,
0:17:27 > 0:17:32after four years on the run, armed robber Andrew Moran was on trial
0:17:32 > 0:17:33at Burnley Crown Court.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Back in 2005,
0:17:36 > 0:17:40he and another man had attempted to rob a cash delivery van
0:17:40 > 0:17:42in a supermarket car park.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44It was a real painstaking trial.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46It lasted for seven weeks.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Andrew Moran did give evidence in his own trial.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52He came across as being very arrogant.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55He argued with the prosecution barrister,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58kept calling him "mate" and it was very difficult for the barrister
0:17:58 > 0:18:01to cross-examine because of his attitude towards him.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05He did come across, as I say, very arrogant and cocky.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11But as the jury prepared to return their verdict,
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Moran leapt from the dock and escaped from court.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Andrew Moran assaulted the Group4 guard,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21jumped over the dock barrier and ran from the court,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23pursued by staff and police officers
0:18:23 > 0:18:27and Group4 security guards from the court, but managed to evade capture.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Moran disappeared.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40After four months of searching and desperate for information,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Simon Cheyte appealed to the public.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47What information have you got as to say where he could be right now?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49That's Andrew Moran.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50He has got a lot of family,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52friends and connections in the Manchester-Salford area.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56It's entirely possible he is still knocking around there.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Anybody who knows where he may be, please ring us.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01The appeal yielded little information
0:19:01 > 0:19:04and with no sightings of Moran in the UK,
0:19:04 > 0:19:08it was time for the National Crime Agency to get involved.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11It has agents who specialise in tracking fugitives down
0:19:11 > 0:19:14wherever they are in the world.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18When they go abroad and they go underground,
0:19:18 > 0:19:22the only place that they can go to is amongst other crime groups
0:19:22 > 0:19:24and therefore often their criminality
0:19:24 > 0:19:26will start to rise and they will start
0:19:26 > 0:19:30to get into more high-profile types of activity.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34So we believed that he was still involved...
0:19:35 > 0:19:36..committing offences,
0:19:36 > 0:19:39but it was important that we then started to track him down.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Suspecting that he had fled the UK,
0:19:42 > 0:19:47finding out how Moran was funding life on the run was a priority.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49You walk down any high street within the UK
0:19:49 > 0:19:51and there's money service bureaus,
0:19:51 > 0:19:52so that's something we could look into.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55And again the money needs to be collected at the other end.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Was Andrew Moran going to go in and give his passport with his full name
0:20:00 > 0:20:02and address on it? He wasn't, no.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05So that's where we had to do some clever, analytical stuff
0:20:05 > 0:20:08to try and identify whether there were frequent collections
0:20:08 > 0:20:12in frequent locations which would then indicate that there was
0:20:12 > 0:20:15something perhaps untoward going on in a certain location.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Once again the focus fell on Moran's girlfriend,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23a beautician called Gemma Javier.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26A team of detectives in the north-west of England
0:20:26 > 0:20:29had been keeping track of her all along.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Very quickly we were able to identify that his girlfriend
0:20:34 > 0:20:36was travelling regularly to Spain,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39various flights, various destinations,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42travelling extensively on a very limited income.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44That gave us some clues as to where Moran was hiding
0:20:44 > 0:20:46and all that pointed towards Spain.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52With more and more evidence emerging,
0:20:52 > 0:20:56the NCA began working with the Spanish police
0:20:56 > 0:21:00who have a unit dedicated to hunting out fugitives.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Inspector Olga Lizana headed up that team for five years.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09They told me all that happened with him before in the UK
0:21:09 > 0:21:14and the only thing they told me with this case
0:21:14 > 0:21:17is that he was a very, very dangerous man.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21He was a crazy man, so...
0:21:22 > 0:21:24They told us, please, if you find him,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26just be really careful with this guy.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Later, find out how the hunt for Moran went badly wrong
0:21:32 > 0:21:35as the desperate fugitive rammed Olga's car
0:21:35 > 0:21:39before escaping the wrong way down a dual carriageway.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49In London, detective sergeant Pete Rance
0:21:49 > 0:21:52and his team from the extradition unit
0:21:52 > 0:21:54are out trying to catch foreign criminals
0:21:54 > 0:21:57wanted in other European countries.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Hello, it's the police. Can you open the door, please?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06The nation that sends out the highest number of arrest warrants
0:22:06 > 0:22:08is Poland.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09If I was to hazard a guess
0:22:09 > 0:22:11and look at the work that comes across my desk
0:22:11 > 0:22:13on a week-to-week basis,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I would probably say 60-70% of the cases
0:22:16 > 0:22:21that I receive are Polish European Arrest Warrants.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26And that's exactly what Pete and his team are doing this morning.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28The fella we're looking for is a fella called Przemyslaw Ratajczyk
0:22:28 > 0:22:31who is wanted in Poland for fraud offences.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36Everything... All the checks we've done
0:22:36 > 0:22:38indicate that he could well be at this address.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42He has got another family member living with him there.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Ratajczyk has been convicted for producing and selling
0:22:47 > 0:22:51counterfeit CDs and DVDs and given a ten-month prison sentence.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01The investigation has led Pete and his team to this apartment block
0:23:01 > 0:23:04and they're about to find out if the intelligence is on the money.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Big dog.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09BARKING
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Not my favourite thing!
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Hello, sir, sorry to trouble you. My name is Pete Rance,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I'm a detective sergeant with the Metropolitan Police.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26- Say again?- My name's Peter Rance,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I'm a detective sergeant with the Metropolitan Police.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Is it possible to come and speak to you?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34It is still only quarter to six in the morning
0:23:34 > 0:23:38and with the man's brother looking on, Pete makes his enquiries.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Is this you?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Probably, yes.- It is you, OK.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Mr Ratajczyk, Poland has issued a European Arrest Warrant
0:23:50 > 0:23:53for your arrest. You are wanted for fraud offences in Poland.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56OK? Because of that...
0:23:58 > 0:24:01..you are under arrest on the European Arrest Warrant.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03You do not have to say anything,
0:24:03 > 0:24:05but anything you do say may be given in evidence, OK?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You can be charged with an offence of fraud over there.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- OK? Do you understand? - Yes, yes.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Sorry, there are no lights, it's dark.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19When you get in, you just need to put your seatbelt on, all right?
0:24:20 > 0:24:24It's a relatively low-level fraud offence this guy is wanted for,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26but he has got ten months in prison to serve
0:24:26 > 0:24:28if his extradition is ordered.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31So the proceedings will start today and he will find out shortly
0:24:31 > 0:24:34whether he is to be extradited or whether there is a case for him
0:24:34 > 0:24:36to remain in the UK.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Extradition cases like this can take many months
0:24:41 > 0:24:43to go through the courts.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47But Pete's job is to simply find the person named on the warrant,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50no matter what they're wanted for.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Certain countries will issue requests
0:24:52 > 0:24:54for relatively minor offences,
0:24:54 > 0:24:59other countries will only issue them for serious offences.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03But as an extradition unit, we work on a sort of bilateral basis
0:25:03 > 0:25:06and if they've seen fit to issue the warrant,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08we have a duty and an obligation to execute it
0:25:08 > 0:25:11if we can locate and identify them.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17With the work of the extradition unit done,
0:25:17 > 0:25:21it remains for the judge to decide if Ratajczyk is to be sent back home
0:25:21 > 0:25:23to Poland to serve his sentence.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Catching fugitives often depends
0:25:30 > 0:25:33on having close connections with the community.
0:25:35 > 0:25:41It's something Amir Nasir, a PCSO in Hastings, knows all too well.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45He moved to the UK from Gdansk in Poland nine years ago
0:25:45 > 0:25:47and his ability to speak four languages
0:25:47 > 0:25:50means he knows just what's going on in his area.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55As well as English, he speaks Russian...
0:25:55 > 0:25:56HE SPEAKS RUSSIAN
0:25:58 > 0:25:59..Arabic...
0:25:59 > 0:26:00HE SPEAKS ARABIC
0:26:02 > 0:26:03..and Polish.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05HE SPEAKS POLISH
0:26:08 > 0:26:12And where he lives, he needs all those language skills.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Where we are, it's a very diverse area in East Sussex.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18One of the biggest groups is the Eastern European group.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23Poles, and Russian speakers from Latvia and Lithuania.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24There is also a big...
0:26:25 > 0:26:26..Arabic, Kurdish group.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Amir believes the public's perception of migrant communities
0:26:34 > 0:26:39can make life difficult for many of the people who live in his town.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40I try to do my best
0:26:40 > 0:26:44and I see a lot of people in my community doing their best.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49It doesn't seem fair when I hear in other sources of the press
0:26:49 > 0:26:54that we are not working hard, we do not contribute to the community,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56we are lazy, or we came here for benefits.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59It's not a picture showing the majority.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01The majority of people are peaceful,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04they contribute in one way or the other, they are hard-working.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Amir is part of a team based at a police community hub
0:27:14 > 0:27:17in the St Leonards part of town.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19To have someone like Amir,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21it really does break down barriers,
0:27:21 > 0:27:22so someone like myself
0:27:22 > 0:27:23or other members of the team
0:27:23 > 0:27:28won't get the same response as Amir does with members of the community.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31The first stop of the day is to check in with the owner
0:27:31 > 0:27:33of a Russian convenience store
0:27:33 > 0:27:36who has had problems with noisy neighbours.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I get to know them much better,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42and they will tell me even more
0:27:42 > 0:27:45because there is no language barrier.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46THEY SPEAK RUSSIAN
0:27:48 > 0:27:49AMIR SPEAKS RUSSIAN
0:27:52 > 0:27:56The next job for Amir is to deal with a Russian man worried about
0:27:56 > 0:28:00a housing problem, and wary of going to the authorities.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06They will look at it in a different way, they will say,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08"Well, we've got an officer, we can trust him,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11"he understands our issues, he comes from our background,
0:28:11 > 0:28:15"he will understand the problems with traditions."
0:28:18 > 0:28:23There are examples where just purely having that lack of understanding of
0:28:23 > 0:28:28a language can be a huge brick wall for us in the police force and we've
0:28:28 > 0:28:30even had people run away from us, who have done nothing wrong, purely
0:28:30 > 0:28:33because there's just a lack of understanding between us and them.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Amir is also Muslim.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42His next port of call is the local mosque,
0:28:42 > 0:28:45to check there are no problems with a forthcoming public event.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Every member of the community here knows him and also,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53if you go out in Central St Leonards,
0:28:53 > 0:28:57everybody meets with him and he is a very popular kind of person.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04This ability to interact with people can also pay dividends
0:29:04 > 0:29:07when it comes to tracking down offenders.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11Good links, or close links with the community is very useful.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16They can provide information that there is an unwanted individual or
0:29:16 > 0:29:20an individual of some criminal background who is in the community.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27And the hunt for foreign criminals doesn't stop when Amir clocks off
0:29:27 > 0:29:32for the day. After he's said goodnight to the kids, once a week,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35he settles down to watch the Polish version of Crimewatch.
0:29:37 > 0:29:42Some of these offenders might be abroad and, in many cases,
0:29:42 > 0:29:45people have rung the police, Poles living abroad,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47who have identified...
0:29:49 > 0:29:52..that person or found that missing person in Germany
0:29:52 > 0:29:54or the UK or Ireland.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59And whilst he keeps his eyes peeled for those wanted faces,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02for the majority of law-abiding people,
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Amir is just a very helpful person to have around.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08For us it's invaluable, it's absolutely brilliant
0:30:08 > 0:30:11that we've got someone like him on our team.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21In 2010, the hunt for Andrew Moran,
0:30:21 > 0:30:25the armed robber who escaped from his own trial and went on the run,
0:30:25 > 0:30:26had moved to Spain.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31By the autumn of 2012,
0:30:31 > 0:30:33the UK's National Crime Agency
0:30:33 > 0:30:37had discovered that Moran's girlfriend was making regular trips
0:30:37 > 0:30:40to a remote village called Los Alcazares
0:30:40 > 0:30:42in the Murcia region of Spain.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48It was down to Olga Lizana,
0:30:48 > 0:30:52head of the Spanish police's fugitive unit, to track him down.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55I found the house but I didn't see him at that point
0:30:55 > 0:30:58but I saw his girlfriend.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00So we knew they were always together
0:31:00 > 0:31:02so we knew he was there.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Moran's hideout had been discovered at last.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10Armed officers prepared to capture him just as soon as he emerged
0:31:10 > 0:31:12from his rented villa.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Moran left the house driving a car,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16but we were not sure it was him.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20So we decided, OK, let's follow for a while.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Their chance came when Moran stopped the car.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26But he was determined not to be captured.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30So I crossed my car, trying to avoid him to escape.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34But there was a place close to there with one entrance and one exit.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36He drove into that place
0:31:36 > 0:31:39and we just tried to block the exit and the entrance.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42He hit the police cars, he escaped,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44and he just took the highway.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46After crashing into a police car,
0:31:46 > 0:31:51Moran sped away down the motorway running along the Spanish coastline.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56We were calling the police officer and also the tolls to tell them
0:31:56 > 0:31:58we're just following this car.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02We told them the plate and tried to stop the car
0:32:02 > 0:32:07but after 15km he just decided to leave the highway.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12At that time, Moran stopped the car, so we were just behind him.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16He didn't know what he was thinking or he was trying to do
0:32:16 > 0:32:20so I told my colleague, "If he opens the door, shoot him,"
0:32:20 > 0:32:23because we were sure Moran got a gun.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27Moran stayed in his car and, in a moment of madness,
0:32:27 > 0:32:31drove off down the wrong side of a dual carriageway.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35He just turned around, took the highway on the wrong way,
0:32:35 > 0:32:37and at that point I was following him
0:32:37 > 0:32:40but we realised he was a real danger for all the people driving.
0:32:40 > 0:32:46It's a busy highway, most cars are driving really fast,
0:32:46 > 0:32:48so it's like I made the decision,
0:32:48 > 0:32:50OK, let him go, we'll find him again.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Moran had made his escape once more.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58The villa he'd abandoned was searched.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03The fugitive had left plenty of incriminating evidence behind.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07We found some drugs, we found a gun in the kitchen,
0:33:07 > 0:33:12we found a few passports, because we knew he had, in the past,
0:33:12 > 0:33:15he had been using Irish passport,
0:33:15 > 0:33:19but that time we know he was using a false Lithuanian passport,
0:33:19 > 0:33:22so he was just going out to buy something,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24so he left all the stuff over there.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I think clearly everyone who was involved on that day
0:33:26 > 0:33:29was disappointed with the outcome.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32You know, we had a location where he was at and he unfortunately
0:33:32 > 0:33:33managed to escape arrest.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36I'm sure the Spanish police would be equally as disappointed as we were,
0:33:36 > 0:33:38so, yeah, it was a bit disappointing
0:33:38 > 0:33:40for the team that were involved in tracking him down,
0:33:40 > 0:33:44but actually it just increased our determination to catch him.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Moran had again disappeared without trace.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53It would take another six months for Spanish and British police to find
0:33:53 > 0:33:57his new hideout, another luxury villa on the Costa Blanca.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01This time, there would be no escape.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11In Coventry, officers are out tracking down criminal offenders
0:34:11 > 0:34:13who have fled to the UK from overseas.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Earlier in the evening, Sergeant Adam Jobson and his team managed to
0:34:20 > 0:34:24locate a man wanted for breaching a deportation order.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Wait there one second.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31Slawomir Mielczarek has already served six years
0:34:31 > 0:34:33in a Polish prison for murder.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36Now, the Home Office wants him out of the UK.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43INDISTINCT
0:34:43 > 0:34:46When they are booking in foreign national offenders,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49custody staff have access to interpreters
0:34:49 > 0:34:51at the end of a phone line.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52INTERPRETER SPEAKS OVER PHONE
0:34:55 > 0:34:58It's not been long since Mielczarek was last in custody,
0:34:58 > 0:35:02when he was found in possession of ecstasy, and arrested.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04It was this that alerted the Home Office to his presence
0:35:04 > 0:35:07in the country and his criminal history
0:35:07 > 0:35:10and led to their decision to deport him.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14- OK.- Kev, can we see how tall he is, please?- Yeah.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15He's already come across the police,
0:35:15 > 0:35:17and nothing's obviously been mentioned,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20so he probably hasn't even had a second thought about it,
0:35:20 > 0:35:23to be honest, and it's not until we've turned up today and explained
0:35:23 > 0:35:24what's going to happen,
0:35:24 > 0:35:27that's when I think the reality sets in, that he'll be going now,
0:35:27 > 0:35:30and his family are obviously still in the UK at the moment.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32OK, thank you. OK.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Can you please tell the gentleman
0:35:34 > 0:35:36he's now going to be searched by one of my colleagues,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39and, once he's been searched, the handcuffs will be removed?
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Stand here, sir.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Can you tell this gentleman because he's got previous for drugs misuse,
0:35:49 > 0:35:53I'm going to authorise a strip search under Section 54 of PACE?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57For Adam, Mielczarek's arrest
0:35:57 > 0:36:00marks the end of a difficult period where he and fellow officers
0:36:00 > 0:36:02have narrowly missed out
0:36:02 > 0:36:05on catching some of the other fugitives they're after.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06When we made that arrest,
0:36:06 > 0:36:09it was almost like a weight's lifted off your shoulders, really,
0:36:09 > 0:36:12and you're going from one address to the next to the next,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14and often it's demoralising,
0:36:14 > 0:36:17sometimes, when you're just not getting anywhere,
0:36:17 > 0:36:18so to actually find someone in,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20especially for such a serious offence,
0:36:20 > 0:36:23I think that was the most serious one we had that week,
0:36:23 > 0:36:24for a murder offence,
0:36:24 > 0:36:28it was certainly very rewarding to get them
0:36:28 > 0:36:31and put them in custody to be dealt with properly.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43By May 2013, Andrew Moran had been on the run for eight years.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46In November the previous year,
0:36:46 > 0:36:48he'd escaped capture by Spanish police
0:36:48 > 0:36:51by driving the wrong way down a dual carriageway.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54In the villa he abandoned,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57he left behind more evidence of his criminal lifestyle.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01We found a gun in the kitchen.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06We also found a machete behind his pillow, so...
0:37:06 > 0:37:10And the way he did things, you know, OK, this is a crazy man,
0:37:10 > 0:37:13he doesn't care about anything, just about himself,
0:37:13 > 0:37:15because you don't do those kinds of things.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18We checked the computers,
0:37:18 > 0:37:22so we realised he was having a really nice life here in Spain.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25From the photographs that we recovered
0:37:25 > 0:37:27from his laptop and his iPad,
0:37:27 > 0:37:28it did show him travelling
0:37:28 > 0:37:32extensively, access to high-powered vehicles,
0:37:32 > 0:37:36lavish lifestyle, and clearly he was living a very opulent life.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41The photos on his laptop also revealed that Moran
0:37:41 > 0:37:45was adept at changing his appearance.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50Some pictures he has very long hair, very blond hair,
0:37:50 > 0:37:54in others, just very short hair.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Sometimes he was wearing glasses or...
0:37:58 > 0:38:02So it was not that easy
0:38:02 > 0:38:05to realise who he was.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08But police and the National Crime Agency
0:38:08 > 0:38:13were determined this latest escape would be short-lived.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16He was now going to have to perhaps move him into an area that would
0:38:16 > 0:38:18make him even more vulnerable.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19He was no longer perhaps in
0:38:19 > 0:38:22and amongst a seat of criminals over there in Spain.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26He was now going to have to perhaps go it alone.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Olga and her team spent months
0:38:29 > 0:38:32searching amongst the expat community.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34It's like a personal thing.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37He tried to kill me.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40He didn't care about the Spanish police over there,
0:38:40 > 0:38:43and let's go find him again.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49But with thousands of Brits thronging this coastline,
0:38:49 > 0:38:53tracking down Moran for a second time wasn't going to be easy.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Spanish police suspected he'd headed for Benidorm.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02We moved some people from my team over there,
0:39:02 > 0:39:05just trying to check all the bars in Benidorm
0:39:05 > 0:39:09It was May, so it was nice weather here.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12All the bars over there, British bars and things like that,
0:39:12 > 0:39:14but we didn't get much information.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Then came the tip-off they needed.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22A friend of Moran's owned a villa in Calpe,
0:39:22 > 0:39:25half an hour north of Benidorm,
0:39:25 > 0:39:27and it seemed he had a new tenant.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31We just came here to take a look and he was outside,
0:39:31 > 0:39:33so from here we just took some pictures,
0:39:33 > 0:39:37and then we realised it was Moran,
0:39:37 > 0:39:40and after that is when we decided, OK, let's make the arrest in here.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Olga had tracked Moran down once again.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Not wanting to take any more chances with this dangerous and potentially
0:39:50 > 0:39:54armed criminal, she called in a crack Spanish Swat team.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59The special team normally go at night
0:39:59 > 0:40:03but I told them a little bit of how dangerous this guy was, it's like...
0:40:03 > 0:40:05And the house got two floors.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08We knew the bedrooms were upstairs,
0:40:08 > 0:40:13so I told them if you get there at night, you have to go upstairs.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17I'm sure this guy got guns again.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21I found a machete, so probably he will get a new one.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26And then we decided, OK, I can see him, he's by the swimming pool,
0:40:26 > 0:40:30he is wearing shorts, so I'm sure he has nothing on him.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32So let's go to do it now.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40As Moran relaxed by the pool with his girlfriend,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42the team caught him by surprise.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49As soon as he realised we were police officers, he tried to escape,
0:40:49 > 0:40:52so he tried to jump to the other house,
0:40:52 > 0:40:55but the police officer got them and they took him back to the house,
0:40:55 > 0:40:59and he was arrested close to the swimming pool.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03We found a lot of mobile phones in the kitchen,
0:41:03 > 0:41:09and then upstairs we found a new machete, under the pillow.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11That's the information... I mean, that's what we expected.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15And this time, the guns were not in the house.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18They were outside, but belonging to the same property.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Back in Lancashire,
0:41:23 > 0:41:27officers were relieved that the man who'd escaped justice in 2009
0:41:27 > 0:41:30was finally in custody in Spain.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33After all that hard work that we'd done
0:41:33 > 0:41:35to get through the long trial proceedings,
0:41:35 > 0:41:40to find him now two or three times when he's been wanted and escaped,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43to know that he was finally there, arrested, behind bars in Spain,
0:41:43 > 0:41:47safe, and was coming back at some stage to the UK
0:41:47 > 0:41:50was a really sort of...
0:41:50 > 0:41:53real feeling of job satisfaction, of a job well done.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57I think when he escaped the first time, he thought I was stupid,
0:41:57 > 0:42:01or the police officers, or the Spanish police officers were stupid.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03But right now I think he was not that smart...
0:42:05 > 0:42:06..because we found him again.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10So...right now, you have to see, I'm here.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13He's still in jail in Spain
0:42:13 > 0:42:15and he's going back to the UK,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18and he has to spend a long, long time over there,
0:42:18 > 0:42:20so who's the smart guy?
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Following his capture,
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Moran was tried in Spain for drug and traffic offences.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36After three years in a Spanish jail, he was returned to the UK,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38and, in April 2016,
0:42:38 > 0:42:41he was sentenced to a minimum of eight years in prison.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Slawomir Mielczarek, the man who'd already served six years
0:42:48 > 0:42:50in a Polish prison for murder,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53was deported back to his homeland in March 2016.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58And in May the same year,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Metropolitan Police put Przemyslaw Ratajczyk
0:43:01 > 0:43:04on a military flight back to Poland to serve his sentence
0:43:04 > 0:43:08for producing and selling counterfeit CDs and DVDs.
