0:00:02 > 0:00:05- Come on!- On the run... - Get back here!
0:00:05 > 0:00:09- ..and over here. - Hands out, now! Hands out!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12When foreign criminals flee their home countries,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14many hide out in the UK.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18- Give me your hands!- But if they think they are safe, they are wrong.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19They know they are 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 > 0:00:31Across Europe, there are hundreds of British criminals also trying to
0:00:31 > 0:00:33escape justice.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34From the sun-drenched Costas,
0:00:34 > 0:00:37where the villains seek a life of luxury...
0:00:38 > 0:00:41..to the busy streets of the Dutch capital,
0:00:41 > 0:00:43where many continue their life of crime.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48We join the crack teams hunting them down.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50When you take the risk to come to Amsterdam,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53as a criminal, there is 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 are 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 > 0:01:13We will find you,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16we will bring you back.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25In today's programme...
0:01:25 > 0:01:29it's double trouble for these officers as they go searching for
0:01:29 > 0:01:32two wanted men in one small Yorkshire town.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35We're going to go
0:01:35 > 0:01:38200 metres up the road and do the other one.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41But finding the fugitives won't be easy.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Am I going to be OK to walk past that dog and go upstairs?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49In London, a helpful suspect introduces detectives to technology
0:01:49 > 0:01:51to overcome their language barrier.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54COMPUTERISED VOICE SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I love this thing!
0:01:56 > 0:01:59It is going to revolutionise extradition police work, this.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- It's fantastic. - And let down by a false passport,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06the drug dealer on the run for over a decade,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09captured by chance in Amsterdam.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13We said, "We are in contact with the police of Liverpool," and then he
0:02:13 > 0:02:15said, "Oh, no.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16"You got me."
0:02:22 > 0:02:26When it comes to tracking down men and women fleeing from justice in
0:02:26 > 0:02:30other countries, West Yorkshire Police is one of the busiest forces
0:02:30 > 0:02:31in the business.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Today, police officers Dave Lockwood and Tom Allen are out,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41hunting down not one but two foreign fugitives.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43It would be nice if we got him.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48The two wanted men live quite literally around the corner from
0:02:48 > 0:02:49one another.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54The first target is a Polish man called Roman Horbik,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56wanted for crimes committed a long time ago.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02So, just to summarise, Tom, two offences, first one is fraud,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04where he has done them 12 withdrawals...
0:03:04 > 0:03:05- Oh, right.- ..of cash from the bank,
0:03:05 > 0:03:09and then the second one is hiding the stolen car.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Dave thinks the wanted man has probably forgotten all about it.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17If you committed an offence and someone came tapping at your door
0:03:17 > 0:03:1915 years later, you'd be surprised as well.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- 15 years?- Yeah.
0:03:21 > 0:03:232001, for fraud.
0:03:23 > 0:03:262002 for hiding the stolen vehicle.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32If you have evaded justice from your own country and taken up occupation
0:03:32 > 0:03:36in another country, there is that little bit of nagging doubt that it
0:03:36 > 0:03:38might come to haunt me.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40You might kid yourself for a while but you will not kid the authorities
0:03:40 > 0:03:44and you will not kid a police computer record of you.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47They arrive at the address and see a car parked outside.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Dave runs a check on the number plate.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- His car.- His car.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- It is a match.- See if he's in.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06They go up to the door to check who's home.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07One thing is certain...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09DOG BARKS
0:04:10 > 0:04:12..there's a dog inside.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14A very large dog.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Telly is on, Dave.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Woof.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Hiya, love.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Hello.- Hi.- Are you OK?
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- Yeah.- How many people is in the house?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Now, three.- Who is in the house?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36My baby...
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Just children, no adults in your house?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40No. No, I'm no good speaking English,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- but...- It sounds really good to me.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Yeah. But...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48There's a lady here I'm talking to,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50she says there's just her and her kids here, and her kids are ill.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52She is delaying us going into the address, so...
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Just keep containment for the minute.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Does anybody else live here that is not here now?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Erm... Yes, my husband only, but he work now.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02He's at work. And what is he called?
0:05:02 > 0:05:03- Roman Horbik.- Roman.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07OK. She has said that Roman is her partner, but he's at work,
0:05:07 > 0:05:08- he's not here.- All right.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10So she's still not wanting us in the address,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12so we'll go in and have a look.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- OK?- The woman confirms that the man they are after is her husband.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20She says he is not here, but Dave is not convinced.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22He wants to see for himself.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24DOG BARKS
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Just let him calm...
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Am I going to be OK to walk past that dog and go upstairs?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32But first, he'll have to get past the dog.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Just you hold the dog there.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- OK?- The German Shepherd isn't too pleased to see police officers
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- in the house.- You been bitten yet, Dave?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43No, but it is... It's a vicious dog.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Just checking upstairs, mate,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47and then we'll get her to ring him if he's not here.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Once he gets past the barking dog,
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Dave checks upstairs for the man they are looking for.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56What I'm doing, love, I'm just making sure there's no-one here,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59then I'll talk to you and explain what we are doing, OK?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01OK, you can watch me go around, there's no problems with that.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05No.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06Nice train set.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12There's no sign of him.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Dave finds out the man works as a builder and is due back home
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- in a couple of hours. - I don't know, maybe two hours.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22- Two hours' time?- Yeah.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25OK, shall we come downstairs, back outside or into the kitchen?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Yeah.- Do you want to hold that dog of yours?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29DOG BARKS
0:06:35 > 0:06:36- Tom.- Hello.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38You can come round, it's clear.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40HE TALKS TO DOG
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Yeah, you can come and meet the dog if you want.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46He's at work. He's a builder. He's working in Huddersfield somewhere,
0:06:46 > 0:06:47and he's not due home for two hours.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- All right.- So she's going to ring him.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51We'll just arrange to meet him in a bit.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55The woman can't reach her husband.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58So Dave makes arrangements to come back later, when he is home.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00All right, I'll leave you my details.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I've got my phone on me, so when Roman gets home,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04just give us a text, OK?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07You're not going to do owt silly, like ignore us, are you?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Not ring us?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Or Roman is going to do owt silly and panic and run away
0:07:12 > 0:07:15or anything? He's not going to do that, is he?
0:07:15 > 0:07:16- No problem.- No problem.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18OK, I'll see you between half-seven and eight o'clock.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Here. All right?
0:07:20 > 0:07:21All right, take care.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28But how will the fugitive, who has evaded justice for 15 years, react
0:07:28 > 0:07:31once he finds out the police are looking for him?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35This is where I struggle to always see the worst in people and presume
0:07:35 > 0:07:38they're not going to cooperate, but they've got kids here and one of
0:07:38 > 0:07:41the kids is poorly, so whether he is going to do owt silly and
0:07:41 > 0:07:43panic and run or come home for his tea,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I guess we'll find out in two or three hours' time, won't we?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51But at least Dave and Tom haven't far to go for the next job.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56It seems that the small town of Batley is also home to another man
0:07:56 > 0:07:58on the run. This time from Hungary.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01We're going to go
0:08:01 > 0:08:03200 metres up the road and do the other one.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Though, when they get there, it's not the warmest of receptions.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Hello.- Hello.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- What is your name, please?- Hmm?
0:08:13 > 0:08:14What is your name?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Back in 2003,
0:08:22 > 0:08:26police in Aberdeen were battling a growing problem with addiction.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Suppliers from Liverpool were trafficking large quantities of
0:08:30 > 0:08:31hard drugs into the city.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36They're involved in sourcing kilo quantities of heroin
0:08:36 > 0:08:39from Liverpool, we know that they were spending tens of thousands of
0:08:39 > 0:08:42pounds on heroin and making significantly more than that selling
0:08:42 > 0:08:43it in Aberdeen.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47In February 2003,
0:08:47 > 0:08:51detectives learned that a courier from Liverpool was about to deliver
0:08:51 > 0:08:53heroin to the area.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54If they could spot him,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57they knew he would lead them to the local dealers.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02This is where we had intelligence that our subjects were going to be
0:09:02 > 0:09:06meeting with a drug courier and collecting controlled drugs,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09so we put a surveillance team in this area.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Then one of the undercover team hoping to spot the drugs handover
0:09:15 > 0:09:18was approached by a stranger.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20At about 9:30 that morning,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23a male approached that surveillance officer and asked him if he was
0:09:23 > 0:09:25there to pick something up.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28So, obviously that focused our attention on him.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30He spoke with a Liverpool accent,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33and we thought that might be one of the people we were interested in.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38The unlucky courier who had identified himself to the undercover
0:09:38 > 0:09:39cop was Scott Coleman.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43The officer kept watching.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Within minutes, Coleman was meeting
0:09:48 > 0:09:50a local dealer already on their radar.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Another officer saw him getting into the passenger seat of a white
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Vauxhall Cavalier,
0:09:57 > 0:10:01which was known to us and had featured in our operation prior to that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04The driver of that car drove Coleman to here,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07where Coleman jumped out of the car and headed back towards the
0:10:07 > 0:10:11guesthouse. Pretty innocuous for a member of the public, but to us,
0:10:11 > 0:10:13we thought that a drugs handover had occurred,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15just with intelligence and what we had seen.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Scott Coleman may only have been a courier,
0:10:20 > 0:10:24but he had blown the whole drug dealing operation wide open.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It was an absolute stroke of luck.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Obviously, in these situations, when drug couriers are travelling to
0:10:31 > 0:10:35an unfamiliar city, they don't know who they are going to meet,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37so somebody hanging about in the street
0:10:37 > 0:10:42could be, for them, quite a natural person to walk up and ask are they
0:10:42 > 0:10:44the person that they are looking for, so, yeah,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47it was unusual for us, but a stroke of luck nonetheless.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53But the police's luck wouldn't last long.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Despite being arrested, Coleman would soon be on the move again,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00and this time it would be much harder to track him down.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11In London, the extradition unit is an elite squad of
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Metropolitan Police detectives.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Police. Can you open the door, please?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18They work round the clock,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22tracking down foreign criminals hiding here in the UK.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26We don't want criminals thinking that the UK is a safe haven for them
0:11:26 > 0:11:27to come to.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Hello, this is the police, can you open the door, please?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32For a fortnight in January,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36five teams of officers targeted offenders across the capital in
0:11:36 > 0:11:39a series of early morning raids.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40It is a manhunt unit.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44We are looking at finding people rather than investigating the crimes.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47It was called Operation Absolute,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51relying on the latest intelligence from the UK's National Crime Agency.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54It is also about pooling resources and trying to maximise our opportunity
0:11:54 > 0:11:58to arrest as many people as we could within a short space of time.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Its aim - to send criminals home to face justice.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11It's 5:30am and Detective Sergeant Pete Rance is out on the streets
0:12:11 > 0:12:14of east London, hunting for a fugitive.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20This morning we're looking at trying to arrest a fellow who is wanted in
0:12:20 > 0:12:27Moldova for a fraud committed in 2010.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31The man he's searching for is accused of giving false details
0:12:31 > 0:12:33while applying for a loan.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Once it has been certified by the Secretary of State...
0:12:36 > 0:12:40And this arrest is more complicated than most.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45It is an extradition order, demanded by the Moldovan government,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48and signed off by none other than the Home Secretary.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53As Moldova is outside the European Union, it is a bureaucratic process.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57So the intention today is to go and see if this guy is at the address we
0:12:57 > 0:12:59think he lives at.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02And if he is, he'll be arrested
0:13:02 > 0:13:06on the warrant and taken into custody and before Westminster,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08so that the extradition proceedings can begin.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15If police find the man they are after,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19he faces being sent back to Moldova to stand trial.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Police. Can you open the door?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Pete has found the address linked to the man,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30and it looks like he is home.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36There is a warrant that has been issued for your arrest in Moldova.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37OK?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41In Moldova.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44There is a warrant for your arrest in London,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46you are wanted for fraud in Moldova.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Do you understand?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52The vast majority of them, English isn't their first language,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56so it is a real ongoing issue for us.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59And we are dependent, in the main,
0:13:59 > 0:14:03on them being able to speak English to us,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06rather than us being able to speak with them in their language.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11The man they've arrested only speaks Romanian,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14and his wife is acting as a translator.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Could you tell him, so he understands what's happening?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24SHE SPEAKS ROMANIAN
0:14:24 > 0:14:26He will know what is happening this afternoon.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32He'll know if he can come home here or if he has to stay in prison.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35But he will only be able to come home here,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38he must give up his passport and his identity card,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41otherwise the judge will not give him bail.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Any passport he has, he has to give to me, OK?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Otherwise... He has to give it to me.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Does he have a national identity card?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51This is a passport, but does he have an ID card as well?
0:14:51 > 0:14:52This one, yeah.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55OK. Are we ready? Let's go.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Right from the outset, when he came to the window, we...
0:15:06 > 0:15:10I recognised him immediately as the guy from the photograph that Moldova
0:15:10 > 0:15:12had supplied to us, so we knew we were going to make an arrest
0:15:12 > 0:15:16straightaway there. So it is just about executing the warrant,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18getting him out of the address and safely into our car,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22so we're now going to take him into custody.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27Pete will now transport the man to a custody suite in central London,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30but explaining that to him is difficult,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33as there is no-one to translate during the journey.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I've had many, many cases where
0:15:35 > 0:15:40you are unable to communicate, you end up arresting someone,
0:15:40 > 0:15:41you are not sure they understand,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45apart from being able to issue them with a copy of the warrant in their
0:15:45 > 0:15:47own language.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51But the arrested man finds a solution...
0:15:51 > 0:15:54by introducing Pete to a piece of technology,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57which could make it much easier for him in the future.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03We might have to wait a little while.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07ELECTRONIC VOICE TRANSLATES
0:16:07 > 0:16:08No problem.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09OK.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11It's great.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I love this thing!
0:16:19 > 0:16:25Back in 2003, police in Aberdeen had set up a surveillance operation.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Its purpose - to catch the men and women bringing large quantities of
0:16:29 > 0:16:31heroin into the city.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35And when one courier bringing drugs from Liverpool approached an
0:16:35 > 0:16:37undercover officer by mistake,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40the police hoped he would lead them to the rest of the gang.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45His name was Scott Coleman.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47And once he had delivered a package,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50he was arrested in a pub near Aberdeen station.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54He was totally upfront with the police when he was stopped,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56quite unusually, and immediately said that he had more gear
0:16:56 > 0:16:58in his rucksack.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Police found another kilo of heroin when they searched Coleman.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05It had been meant for another dealer.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Unusually, Coleman was quite honest in his answers.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36He said that he had been offered £1,500 to take what he thought was
0:17:36 > 0:17:40either cocaine or heroin from Liverpool to Aberdeen,
0:17:40 > 0:17:41and deliver to two different people.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Coleman was charged with drugs offences,
0:17:46 > 0:17:50but was granted bail and subsequently disappeared.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54For two years, there was no sign of him, until he offended again,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57this time in Spain.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01In July 2005, he was arrested in Alicante.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Implicated in another drugs deal that had gone wrong.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14He had obviously gone from being a drug courier to having a more senior
0:18:14 > 0:18:17position and was actually involved in the arrangement of importation,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20so not only had we missed our opportunity,
0:18:20 > 0:18:21but he was obviously still offending,
0:18:21 > 0:18:23and offending at a higher level.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Now it was time for the National Crime Agency,
0:18:28 > 0:18:32who track down British criminals who flee abroad, to get involved.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Coleman came to our attention because he had been arrested in
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Spain for some drugs offences.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41But at that point the authorities in Scotland knew
0:18:41 > 0:18:44that he was abroad, they had concrete proof that he was in Spain,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46so they issued their own European Arrest Warrant,
0:18:46 > 0:18:50and so from that point he was wanted internationally by the UK.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55But Coleman wasn't going to give up on his life as an international
0:18:55 > 0:19:01drugs dealer. Amazingly, the Spanish authorities also granted him bail.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Lo and behold, he disappeared once more.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08For the next decade, he would be a fugitive,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10on the run and hiding from justice.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26When suppliers like Scott Coleman deliver drugs to dealers on the street,
0:19:26 > 0:19:30thousands of victims become addicted to the substances they sell.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Darren Armstrong is one person who knows only too well the impact
0:19:37 > 0:19:39drug abuse can have.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Attempted suicide a couple of times.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45I was on antidepressants and anti-psychotic drugs.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48And when I got... I didn't have any money for drugs,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50so when I couldn't find a way of getting any,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I just took all my medication and tried to end my life.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I've had friends that have gone blind because of using heroin,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01they've cut it with something and it has caused them to go blind.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I've had friends that have died.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07For Darren, using drugs was a way of coping with his difficult
0:20:07 > 0:20:08start in life.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15When he was younger, he found himself homeless and had to fend for
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- himself on the streets. - This is where, when I was 14,
0:20:20 > 0:20:24this is where I used to come down when I first became homeless,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26this is where I slept.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I had nowhere to go, and I wouldn't hand myself into the police because
0:20:30 > 0:20:31I was scared of being put into care,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34cos I always thought it was a bad thing.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37So, to stay out in the cold, I used drugs.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Darren's drug use escalated, and he ended up in prison.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Inside, he was recruited into a drug dealing network which spanned
0:20:49 > 0:20:51the north of England.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56He was a minor player, funding his own habit by selling to others.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00This is where I used to come
0:21:00 > 0:21:03and sell drugs, sell heroin.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06As you can see, it is a pretty wide open space, so anybody coming,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09you could see them for quite a while, and if you have got anything
0:21:09 > 0:21:11on you, you can just get rid of it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13So this is why I really chose this bit.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17I would get a phone call from the main man, and he would say,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20"You've got such a body coming,"
0:21:20 > 0:21:22so then I would say, "What is he wearing?"
0:21:22 > 0:21:24They would give me a description,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27and then I would just jump out the bushes, take his money,
0:21:27 > 0:21:31give him his drugs and then I would move on further down the park.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33And that would happen every day of the week.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42He dealt drugs in his home town of Bolton for over 12 months.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47I got myself into a whole network of violence, deceit.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48It was horrible.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51The network of people that were involved...
0:21:53 > 0:21:55There were some nasty people, do you know what I mean?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57They will get you doing anything.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59As long as they are gaining.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Darren was stuck in a cycle of violence and drug abuse,
0:22:04 > 0:22:08but at the time he was oblivious to the pain his behaviour was causing.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13You don't think about the devastation you are causing to families,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15how much money you are costing the taxpayer.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Deaths that are caused because of heroin.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18It is horrendous.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Now I deeply regret everything that I have done.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24But then, when you are in the middle of it all, you don't really care.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25I didn't care.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30But at the age of 28, it all changed.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Darren became a Christian.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34He stopped using drugs.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39And in 2011, he set up an organisation to help other ex-offenders.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43This is the Be Strong centre.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45This is where they come to work,
0:22:45 > 0:22:48this is where they come to learn different skills.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Basically, they just come here and learn how to be employable.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00Gary Thomas started drinking at 14 and eventually became addicted to
0:23:00 > 0:23:02heroin whilst in prison.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Now he is learning to repair washing machines at the centre and hoping
0:23:06 > 0:23:08his new skill will help him stay clean.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12When I first started doing the washing machines,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15I was scratching all the paintwork, I was just rubbish at it,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and I never thought I would be able to do it, but I stuck with it.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23And now, you know, I can do almost anything on a washing machine,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25and that has given me a world of confidence,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28because I know now at least, if I leave this project,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I can go out into the world and I've got, you know,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32some skills that are going to...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34They are going to help me in the future,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36and I won't just feel like I'm worthless any more.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39You know, I actually believe in myself for once.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Even though the men on the project have done things that have harmed
0:23:42 > 0:23:45themselves and sometimes others,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48at the charity the emphasis is on acceptance.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Something Darren feels very strongly about.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58Last year, over 2,000 people died of drug overdoses in the UK.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03Darren hopes his efforts to give dealers and users another chance
0:24:03 > 0:24:07will go some small way to tackling the problem.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11I am sorry to all the people that I have hurt in my past,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15and I am, you know, I hope that I have made amends by what I'm doing
0:24:15 > 0:24:17now, it's putting back into society,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20helping lads to grow and become, you know,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22leaders in their community.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31In West Yorkshire,
0:24:31 > 0:24:35police officers Dave Lockwood and Tom Allen had been trying to track
0:24:35 > 0:24:39down two fugitives living a stone's throw from one another.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42We are going to go
0:24:42 > 0:24:44200 metres up the road and do the other one.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49The first man they're after is wanted for offences he committed
0:24:49 > 0:24:51in Poland 15 years ago.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55It is not about simply the shelf life of a warrant,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57because there is no shelf life.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00But we feel that if a person is presenting a risk to our community,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03and that warrant is the way for us to reduce their risk,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05then that is what we will go for.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12At the man's house, they find his car, his wife
0:25:12 > 0:25:14and his dog,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17but the man himself is out at work.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20They are hoping he will return in a few hours.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Whether he's going to do owt silly and panic and run or come home for
0:25:23 > 0:25:26his tea, I guess we'll find out in two or three hours' time, won't we?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Meanwhile, they make the very short journey to the home of the other
0:25:31 > 0:25:33criminal they are looking for.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37This man is Hungarian,
0:25:37 > 0:25:41and back home he has been convicted of a series of burglaries carried
0:25:41 > 0:25:43out between 2010 and 2012.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50At the house, Dave covers the back exit while Tom knocks on
0:25:50 > 0:25:51the front door.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53DOG BARKS
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Another dog for you, Dave.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56You can deal with this one.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Sounds soft compared to mine.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02The door is answered, but this resident doesn't have much to say.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- What is your name, please?- Hmm?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07What is your name? Dave, we've got a houseful here.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Do you know anybody called Tibor?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Tibor?- Yeah.- Tibor?- No.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13No. Right.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Is it all right if I just come in and speak to you, yeah?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19We are making some enquiries.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Tom and Dave make their way inside to find out more.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Do you know anybody by that name?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Don't know.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Could you ask your mum if she knows him?
0:26:28 > 0:26:32THEY SPEAK OWN LANGUAGE
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- Hello.- Hello.- What is your name, please?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39My name is David Paksy.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- David?- Yes.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Right. Is that you?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45The man at the kitchen table looks familiar.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Dave. It is this lad in the kitchen here.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49It's him.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Tibor Paksy. They've got their man.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52So you are under arrest.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57- Why?- Because, in Hungary, you are suspected of committing burglary,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59all right? You don't have to say anything,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02but anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06As Dave and Tom explain to the fugitive that he has ten months left
0:27:06 > 0:27:09to serve in a Hungarian prison,
0:27:09 > 0:27:13the family begins to understand the seriousness of the situation.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17SHE SOBS
0:27:20 > 0:27:24We're all human, and I think there's a psychology there that the further
0:27:24 > 0:27:28away you are from a problem, in distance and time,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31the less of a problem that seems to be.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35And of course you look forward, you move on, and you look back less,
0:27:35 > 0:27:40so I think the longer between the offence and the arrest,
0:27:40 > 0:27:41the bigger the shock.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46OK. Cheers.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Dave and Tom don't waste any time getting this man into custody.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56And then, on their way back to the police station,
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Dave gets an unexpected phone call.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02It is the first man they were looking for earlier in the day.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Are you at home now, are you?
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Oh, right, well, I tell you what, I know you've just got home from work,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11why don't you grab yourself some tea,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13and I'll come and see you in the next hour, hour and a half,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15and come and have a chat with you?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Is that OK?- It's OK.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Thanks for ringing me. I'll come and see you soon.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- OK, thank you.- Cheers. Thank you, bye-bye.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Days like this make up for the long days when you are really struggling,
0:28:25 > 0:28:28when you go to address after address and you don't get anything,
0:28:28 > 0:28:32so it just shows, even after seven years of doing this, you just...
0:28:32 > 0:28:34You just don't know how it is going to play out.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40Once they have the Hungarian burglar in custody,
0:28:40 > 0:28:44they head back out to arrest the man who called Dave earlier.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47I have no doubt he has not a clue what this is about,
0:28:47 > 0:28:48so we're going to go in there,
0:28:48 > 0:28:51hope his kids are in bed so they don't have to witness this,
0:28:51 > 0:28:52and we will talk him through it.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01DOG BARKS
0:29:01 > 0:29:05There is a warrant that has been issued for your arrest in Moldova.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08It is six o'clock on a January morning.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13DS Pete Rance from the Metropolitan Police's extradition unit has just
0:29:13 > 0:29:16arrested a man who is wanted for fraud in Moldova.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21The extradition process is more complicated than usual,
0:29:21 > 0:29:25because the wanted man has been accused of committing a crime in
0:29:25 > 0:29:28a country outside the borders of the European Union.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33The Home Office receives a formal request for someone's extradition,
0:29:33 > 0:29:37it then gets sent to the court for a judge to consider whether to issue
0:29:37 > 0:29:40a warrant or not, and if the judge sees fit to issue the warrant,
0:29:40 > 0:29:43it then gets sent to the extradition unit to execute that warrant.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49This arrest has been a journey of discovery for Pete.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52The man he has brought into custody speaks no English,
0:29:52 > 0:29:54and Pete speaks no Romanian.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58But despite this, they have been chatting in the car.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03On the way here, the man he is bringing into custody has shown Pete
0:30:03 > 0:30:06how to use a translation app on his phone.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10We might have to wait a little while.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15ELECTRONIC VOICE TRANSLATES
0:30:15 > 0:30:16No problem.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18OK.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20It's great. I love this thing!
0:30:21 > 0:30:26It is going to revolutionise extradition police work, this.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27It's fantastic.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Thank you.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35He was very concerned about the whole process, very stressed
0:30:35 > 0:30:41that he had been arrested, and he had numerous questions.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43He couldn't
0:30:43 > 0:30:46communicate with me in English, obviously I don't speak any...
0:30:46 > 0:30:49any Russian or Moldovan,
0:30:49 > 0:30:53so he used the app on his phone to communicate with me,
0:30:53 > 0:30:56and it was very, very useful. I had never seen it before, so I'm not...
0:30:56 > 0:30:59I'm a bit of a technophobe, unfortunately, but he was...
0:30:59 > 0:31:03We were able to have quite an in-depth conversation using this app.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10This smartphone app can translate between more than 50 languages.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13And it is making the process of checking into custody much
0:31:13 > 0:31:15less stressful than usual.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20ELECTRONIC VOICE TRANSLATES
0:31:26 > 0:31:31All the legal documents are still provided in the arrested man's own language,
0:31:31 > 0:31:36and he will also have access to the official language line translator,
0:31:36 > 0:31:40but technology has definitely made conversation much easier.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44You can allay a lot of their fears rather than arrest someone
0:31:44 > 0:31:48on a warrant where all they've got is what is written on the warrant in
0:31:48 > 0:31:51their own language. We're able to actually tell them,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54this is going to take most of the day, or, you know,
0:31:54 > 0:31:56they can warn their work colleagues that they are not going to be at
0:31:56 > 0:31:59work that day, they can let their wife...
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Their wife or their partner know that they are...
0:32:01 > 0:32:04They are not going to be around for the day and arrange childcare,
0:32:04 > 0:32:08things like that, which would otherwise be impossible to arrange,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11can be arranged just by use of that simple app, so it was really useful.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12We'll do the fingerprints.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15I'll get a DNA bag and get you to swipe that.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21All that remains is for fingerprints and DNA to be recorded,
0:32:21 > 0:32:25and the arrested man will very soon be on his way to court.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29And, thanks to the translation app, all before breakfast.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Yeah, it's a wonderful thing.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35He has enlightened me this morning.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37He used it to ask me some questions,
0:32:37 > 0:32:39because he was concerned about the fact that he had been arrested,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42concerned about what was going to happen to him,
0:32:42 > 0:32:45so we've been able to reassure him in the car that the judge will
0:32:45 > 0:32:49consider the request and he can make his representations through his
0:32:49 > 0:32:51lawyer when he gets to court.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54But all of those things we've been able to articulate and speak with
0:32:54 > 0:32:57him about through the...
0:32:57 > 0:33:01through the translating app that he had on his phone,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03so it may be that we've...
0:33:03 > 0:33:05we've hit on something today.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08We'll find out.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Once his identity has been confirmed,
0:33:10 > 0:33:14the man is taken to Westminster Magistrates' Court.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18There, more traditional human translators are on hand to assist,
0:33:18 > 0:33:22as the judge examines the Moldovan government's request to
0:33:22 > 0:33:23have him extradited.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Back in 2003,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34drug courier Scott Coleman was arrested transporting heroin
0:33:34 > 0:33:37from Liverpool to Aberdeen.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43But he evaded justice, fleeing from Scotland whilst on bail.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47In 2005, he was arrested again for drug offences in Spain.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50And again he went on the run.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53This time staying under the radar for a long time.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00There's a number of ways in which people can hide themselves.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04They can hide themselves through fellow criminal enterprises, so,
0:34:04 > 0:34:06you know, they've
0:34:06 > 0:34:07been given accommodation,
0:34:07 > 0:34:11given cover and support by criminal organisations.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12Or they can go further afield.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17It would be a decade before the Liverpudlian drug courier would
0:34:17 > 0:34:20resurface again. This time in Amsterdam.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26For many years, serious crime officers in the city have worked
0:34:26 > 0:34:28closely with their counterparts on Merseyside.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33When you are wanted, we have good cooperation with the UK
0:34:33 > 0:34:41we have focused intelligence, and every chance we get to get people,
0:34:41 > 0:34:42we take.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45In 2015,
0:34:45 > 0:34:49a group of officers patrolling Gershwin Square in the business
0:34:49 > 0:34:51district of Amsterdam stopped a group of men
0:34:51 > 0:34:53who were acting suspiciously.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Colleagues saw that a known Dutch criminal
0:34:58 > 0:34:59was talking to somebody else,
0:34:59 > 0:35:05on a corner, and they just went to check, "Hey, what is going on?"
0:35:06 > 0:35:09So that was the trigger.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14Steven van Dokkum was one of the officers who spotted the group.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16We decided to stop them and we
0:35:16 > 0:35:19wanted to see their passports and what they were doing here.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22We asked them if they know each other.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26They said no, but we had seen them talking to each other.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28So we started asking them some questions
0:35:28 > 0:35:30about what they were doing here,
0:35:30 > 0:35:34and we checked our police systems to see if they were...
0:35:35 > 0:35:37..if something comes up.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Scott Coleman was using a false Irish passport,
0:35:42 > 0:35:45something many fugitives rely on,
0:35:45 > 0:35:47and he was now going by the name Wheeler.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53He obviously felt that his identity, his false passport,
0:35:53 > 0:35:55he felt that that stood up to the test,
0:35:55 > 0:35:57it had been tested enough times that he could come back
0:35:57 > 0:35:59to the Netherlands and continue offending.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04Immediately the Dutch were suspicious because he couldn't provide certain
0:36:04 > 0:36:07details that tallied up with the passport,
0:36:07 > 0:36:09he didn't really know that much information about it,
0:36:09 > 0:36:11so they obviously wanted to dig...
0:36:11 > 0:36:12dig further.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18Officers questioned Coleman about his supposed life back in Ireland.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Can I phone your father?
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Can I phone your mother?
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Can I phone your school, where you were in school a couple of years ago?
0:36:26 > 0:36:29He said, "No, no, no. No, that is not possible."
0:36:29 > 0:36:34So he did not give any information to check.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40The authorities were soon able to confirm that the passport was false.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Because of the international cooperation agreements that
0:36:43 > 0:36:45countries have, particularly in Europe,
0:36:45 > 0:36:49the Dutch were very quickly able to come here to us, to the Irish as well,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52in this case, and asked for some more details around the passport,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55which quickly pointed out to them that it was fake, you know, it wasn't...
0:36:55 > 0:36:59It wasn't him. He wasn't Mr Wheeler, he was someone else.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01One big giveaway,
0:37:01 > 0:37:05the Mr Wheeler described on the passport was a considerably shorter man.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08It should be 175.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11But he was taller than me, and I am 187.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12So that was very strange.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Coleman was arrested on suspicion of carrying a false passport.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22But then the Dutch discovered they had arrested a drug dealer,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24wanted in the UK and Spain.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29We took his fingerprints and
0:37:29 > 0:37:34we sent them all over Europe, then we got identification from Spain.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39It was time for the Dutch police to reveal they knew who he was.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42He asked us, "How long will it take?
0:37:42 > 0:37:46"Because I have to go, I have important things to do, I'd like to go.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48"How long will it take?" And then we said,
0:37:48 > 0:37:53"Yes, we are in contact with the police of Liverpool, Merseyside Police.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55"Depending how quick they are."
0:37:55 > 0:37:57And then he said, "Oh, no.
0:37:57 > 0:37:58"You got me."
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Coleman had been on the run since 2003.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07It was finally time to send him home to face justice.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13It was really satisfying, it was...
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Especially when we heard
0:38:15 > 0:38:18he wasn't the guy he said he was.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22It was a real... A great feeling.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25A lot about policing is to do with luck.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29We only need that piece of luck on one occasion to actually get what we
0:38:29 > 0:38:32are looking for. And, you know, Coleman fell foul of that in Aberdeen,
0:38:32 > 0:38:34and again in Amsterdam.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36There is only so long that you can...
0:38:36 > 0:38:39you can run from the police, that you can try and hide out.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44Ultimately, you know, the authorities will always catch up with you.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55In West Yorkshire,
0:38:55 > 0:38:59police officers Dave Lockwood and Tom Allen are having a good day.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02You don't have to say anything, but anything you do say may be given in
0:39:02 > 0:39:04evidence. Do you understand?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Earlier, they arrested this man wanted in Hungary for three burglaries.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13And then, on the way back to the police station,
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Dave gets a call from the other man they've been looking for.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21Roman Horbik is a convicted fraudster with a prison sentence
0:39:21 > 0:39:24waiting for him in Poland.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27Are you at home now, are you?
0:39:27 > 0:39:28Yes, yes.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30All right, well, I tell you what,
0:39:30 > 0:39:32why don't you grab yourself some tea and I'll come and see you
0:39:32 > 0:39:36in the next hour, hour and a half, and I'll come and have a chat with you?
0:39:40 > 0:39:45Now they are on their way to arrest him for crimes he committed in Poland 15 years ago.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- Hi, Roman. Hi. - DOG BARKS
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Are we OK to come in? Thank you.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Are your children...? Children gone to bed?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- Yes.- Yeah. Shut the door so we can't hear the dog.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- Thank you for ringing me.- Yeah.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Do you speak really good English?
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Not really good, but OK.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04- If I talk slow... - Yes.- Right.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Thanks for ringing me. We've come back.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Obviously you didn't know, because I didn't explain properly,
0:40:08 > 0:40:10why we are here.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13There is no other way of saying this.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14It is bad news, I'm afraid.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16There is a problem in Poland.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Right. There's two offences the Polish have issued a warrant for
0:40:20 > 0:40:22your arrest for.
0:40:22 > 0:40:28That is an offence of fraud and an offence of handling a stolen vehicle.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Did you know something about this?
0:40:30 > 0:40:31Is it come as a shock or...
0:40:31 > 0:40:33did you expect it?
0:40:33 > 0:40:34No, I did not expect.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Just as Dave thought,
0:40:36 > 0:40:40the wanted man clearly hasn't a clue why the police are here.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Basically, they've said, in 2001, I know it was a long time ago,
0:40:43 > 0:40:4615 years ago, they are saying you've withdrawn loads of money from
0:40:46 > 0:40:48the bank and not paid the money back.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50- Yes, yes.- You know something about that?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- Right.- Finally,
0:40:52 > 0:40:56it seems the wanted man remembers what it is he has to answer for.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59So I am arresting you on a European Arrest Warrant for an offence
0:40:59 > 0:41:02of fraud and handling stolen goods. So you do not have to say anything,
0:41:02 > 0:41:04but anything you do say may be given in evidence, OK?
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Yes. I hope I come back tomorrow.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09As long as you can satisfy your bail conditions,
0:41:09 > 0:41:11I don't think you'll have a problem.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12OK?
0:41:17 > 0:41:20He went up and gave all his kids a hug and a kiss,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23and spoke to his missus a little bit in private.
0:41:23 > 0:41:24You know, there is no need for us to stop that.
0:41:24 > 0:41:25We've got what we need.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31If that keeps him a bit calmer while he is with us, then so be it.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Horbik is taken into custody, where he will join Tibor Paksy,
0:41:36 > 0:41:40the Hungarian burglar Dave and Tom arrested earlier in the day.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Sergeant, this is Roman Horbik,
0:41:44 > 0:41:48he has been arrested by myself at 8:40pm this evening.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Tomorrow morning, both Horbik and Paksy will be taken to London to
0:41:53 > 0:41:58appear before a judge at an extradition hearing in Westminster Magistrates' Court.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02OK, Roman. There is a blanket on there for you.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05And there is a buzzer on the wall, just there.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08That goes through to the front desk, so if you don't feel well or you need anything,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11water or anything like that, push the button, let us know,
0:42:11 > 0:42:13all right? OK?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18These... Both of them, 200 metres apart, both addresses.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Totally unconnected, different people.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22We went for two and got two.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Roman Horbik is appealing against his extradition to Poland,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32where there is a prison sentence for fraud waiting for him.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Persistent burglar Tibor Paksy has been sent back to Hungary to serve
0:42:38 > 0:42:41the remaining time on his sentences.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47A judge decided to refuse the Moldovan government's request
0:42:47 > 0:42:51to extradite the man who was arrested by the Metropolitan Police for fraud.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57In November 2015, drug runner Scott Coleman
0:42:57 > 0:42:59was extradited back to the UK.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02He was sentenced to five years behind bars.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04And when that is done,
0:43:04 > 0:43:08he will have to serve another three years in a Spanish prison.
