Neighbourhood policing has come a long way since the days | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
-of Dixon of Dock Green. -Evening, all. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
From inner-city estates to suburbia, this new | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
generation of community police officers are on the front line. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
Their aim is to develop a stronger bond with the community, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
crack down on the crimes taking place on your doorstep... | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
and formulate fast action plans to take down the criminals. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
-I said no! -I said yes. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:27 | |
In this new series of Neighbourhood Blues, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
we go to the Humberside police region | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
and get exclusive access to 12 teams of neighbourhood police officers | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
as they tackle the problems blighting local people... | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
-I don't care! -Eh, eh! | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
..and rise to the challenge of making the streets a safer place. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
Coming up - | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
Oli gets in the thick of the action as he tackles a lad | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
wanted for assault. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
A raid on a suspected dealing den turns up a suspicious | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
stash of drugs and a hoard of deadly-looking weapons. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
Not the nicest thing to be coming up against. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
And there's a final warning for this resident to open up. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
You need to open the door, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
else we're going to have to put it through - we know you're in there. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
For neighbourhood policing to work, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
the public must be completely onside. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
One of the best ways of achieving this is for the police to have | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
a very strong street presence and encourage locals to come up to them | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
to talk about the crimes they feel are blighting the place they live in. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
But how much of the talk leads to action? | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
And how satisfied are people with the results achieved? | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
We're about to find out. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
The neighbourhood teams make regular foot and car patrols on their patch. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
It keeps them in close contact with the community, but also means | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
they're on hand to respond to any call for help should it arise. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
PCSOs Oli Genery and Ben Harbottle were driving through Grimsby | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
when word comes in over the wire - | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
an assault has apparently taken place on the south side of town. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
They race to the location, but as the team draw closer, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
they can see the assault isn't over - it's still in progress. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
We've got an ongoing assault at the junction of... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Racing to the scene, Oli and Ben bail out of the police car. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
Ben gives chase to one man who's raced away up the street. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
Oli tries to detain another person at the scene, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
but finds himself under attack and punched in the face. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
Oi! | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
But Oli uses all of his training | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
and expertise to neutralise the threat posed by this lad | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
and wrestles the attacker to the floor. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
The person Oli has detained is well-known to the police | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
and he radios this information back to base. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
He's just assaulted me, punched me in the face. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
-Stay down! -Ahhh! Ahhh! | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
The lad screams to a friend to come and rescue him. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
A man responds and an already tense situation looks like it might | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
reach flashpoint. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
BLEEP! | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
-It's your own -BLEEP -fault, ain't it?! What did I say? I said no! | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-Back off. -I said no! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
-What did you do? You -BLEEP! | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
-BLEEP! -Don't call me any more. -BLEEP! | 0:03:33 | 0:03:39 | |
You're an idiot. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Idiot, the lot of you, you're mugs. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
But Oli can allay his fears, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
because it turns out the man's friend has disowned him. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
And this replay of the assault highlights | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
he actually tried to stop the attack in the first place. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
All alone, the suspect waits on the ground with the sound of police | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
sirens ringing in his ears. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:00 | |
As the police van arrives, | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
a witness to the assault finally offers up some | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
information about exactly what led to the attack. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
He said, "Give me your ped," and with that, just punched him, that's it. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
There was a lot more of them. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
-Who else? -There was a lot more, but they've all disappeared. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
The assault was born out of the attempted theft of a moped. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
As the police work to gather more information, | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
attention shifts to the victim. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
Can we get an ambulance to this passenger, please? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
As the man waits for an ambulance to arrive, suddenly... | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
..it's action stations again, as Oli spots one of the other | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
suspects who may have been involved in the assault. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:38 | |
The team race through the streets. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
The suspect is nowhere to be seen, | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
but the police spread out in an attempt to surround him. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
But one of them spots the suspect heading into a house. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
The home of someone else who's been in trouble with the police in the past. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
Steve, come out, mate. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
Oli knocks on the door and calls for the suspect to come out. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
Steve! | 0:05:00 | 0:05:01 | |
Just chased him round the corner and he's run straight into this house. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
I don't know if he's nipped out the back way or not. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
Officers in that car over there have chased somebody, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
similar sort of clothing, in that direction. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
KNOCKING ON INTERNAL DOOR | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
WOMAN: Steven, answer your door! | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
Guys, can someone come to the door? | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
He's not in. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:18 | |
-He's run in, so where is he? -Where has he gone? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
I've seen him run in. I was right behind him. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
-You'll have to wait then, won't you? -He's not here! | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-We've seen him run in here. -He's not here now. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
Chased him in here, he's not come out the front door. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
Whether he's gone out the back door... | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
-I think there's an alleyway which runs between these two streets. -Is there anyone in there? | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
With the occupants of the home denying it, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
it's left to the police to decide to execute a quick search. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
BLEEP! | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
I want you to get out. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
But attention once again shifts to the surrounding streets | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
and the back alley. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
Within moments, another police officer captures the suspect, | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
who was trying to escape by the rear gates. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
The lad who was outstanding has now been picked up in his rear garden. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
Returning to the scene of the assault, | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
the team can now begin to question witnesses | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
and try to locate CCTV in a bid to build a body of evidence that | 0:06:16 | 0:06:21 | |
may be used to prosecute any of the offenders. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:23 | |
Could we have a look at that camera you're looking at now | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
and the one around the side of the building, please? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Find out later if CCTV does provide the key to determine what | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 | |
happened and if the perpetrators of the violent attack get sent to jail. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
The neighbourhood team employ all the resources at their disposal | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
to deal with any problem, | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
but being on call 24/7 means they never know what to expect next. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:56 | |
Today, over at Clough Road Police Station, the ongoing | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
operation to strike at the heart of the drugs trade is picking up pace. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
And once again, Sergeant Mick Stevenson | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
and his team are taking the lead. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
The target is a suspected class A drugs dealing den, | 0:07:09 | 0:07:13 | |
but there's an added danger. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
Intel suggests that in the past, the occupant has been | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
convicted of possessing dangerous weapons. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
Mick briefs the team about the suspect's background. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
-He's got warnings -BLEEP -for violence, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
firearms, | 0:07:27 | 0:07:28 | |
possesses stun guns, CS and a machete, | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
but that goes back seven years. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
So... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
we can only hope. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:36 | |
There's also another reason for striking the property fast. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
It may be housing stolen goods. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
The reason there's an urgency around this job is | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
a suggestion that a couple of days ago, they had some stolen property | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
there, not least a push-bike, that we need to try and recover. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
With the search warrant in hand, Mick musters the team. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
Suited up, they head to the destination in convoy. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
Yeah, coming down Clough Road as we speak. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
Yeah, just before that No Entry sign. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
Class A drugs are notoriously easy to flush away down toilets or | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
sinks, so there's no warning knock or call today. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
It's straight in with the door. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
Police, stay where you are! | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
The team sweep through the house. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
Clear! | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
The suspect is quickly found in the living room | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
and immediately detained and cuffed. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
-Executing a drug search warrant, mate, all right? -All right. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
-What's your name? -BLEEP! | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
We're going to detain you until we get everything secured. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-You got anything in your pockets at the minute? -No. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
Stand up for us, then. Just give you a quick pat-down. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
Can I put that in the ashtray, please? | 0:08:57 | 0:08:59 | |
I wondered what was going on! | 0:09:04 | 0:09:05 | |
The man may be in shock, | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
but it's no surprise as Mick delivers the news - he's been busted. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
Mate, this is a warrant, OK? | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
The first stage of any search is gauging how cooperative a suspect is. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
-Is there anything in the house you want to make us aware of? -BLEEP! | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
-I've got a bit of weed. -Right. What, just a bit of personal? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
And in this case, the answer is very. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
-I've got some hypodermics upstairs what are my own. -OK. Are they used? | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
-Yeah. -Where are they? | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
They're at the side of my bed. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
PC Chantelle Gardam has already found a number of suspicious | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
items in the property. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
What he said is that there's that tray there, which is | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
a small amount, there's, er... | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
tablets, diazepam, | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
in there and there's some amphet in the freezer in the kitchen. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
Their presence alone is enough for the suspect to be delivered | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
the body blow. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
Possession with intent to supply class B and also suspicion of theft | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
of a pedal cycle, all right? You don't have to say anything, but it | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
may harm your defence if you don't mention, when questioned, | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
The suspect is taken away for questioning back at the station. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
Back inside the house, the search for class A drugs continues. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:25 | |
In the kitchen, Mick isn't playing MasterChef, | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
he's playing master cop. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
Amphetamine in there. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
And we know that because, basically, from what we can see, | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
but also the fact that the guy that's now in custody has told us that it's actually in there. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:44 | |
The suspicious-looking white powder, which the team suspect | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
could be amphetamine, will be sent to the lab for further examination. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
-It's pretty clean-looking, isn't it? -It does look clean. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
Outside the house, | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
Mick's been called to inspect a bicycle which may prove to be one of | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
the stolen items which was believed to be stored at the property. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
00006. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
The serial number will be matched | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
with bikes on the stolen property register | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
to determine if it has in fact been stolen. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
Returning to the house, the search has turned up what appears to be | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
widespread evidence of drug use and possible dealing activity. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
We've got a box of what was glucose there, look, | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
and some remnants of some amphet on that wrap. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
Them gloves are all covered in it as well. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
That's all been shoved in there with the empty glucose wrapper. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
Some freezer bags, spoon up there that's got white powder on it | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
and a box of gloves. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
You don't need a sniffer dog with Mick's nose for trouble, | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |
as the overwhelming smell of drugs in the house means he's | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
convinced that there's more being hidden. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
And a discovery that Chantelle makes suggests that | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
Mick's suspicions are being proven right. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:53 | |
Oop. Mick. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
Oh, yeah. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
-Is this remnants? -There's a bit in there, look. -Hmm. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
Next to the glucose box. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
Whilst glucose is not illegal and can be bought as a food supplement, | 0:12:17 | 0:12:21 | |
dealers often use the white powder | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
to cut with illegal drugs to bulk them up before selling on. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Scales. Oh, yes. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
And in the living room Dave is gathering more evidence, | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
including monitoring activity on a mobile phone | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
he believes could be a hotline to the dealer. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
It's been active since we've been here. Nonstop, really. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
Ringing left, right and centre, plus text messages. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
There's also some illegal pharmaceuticals to examine, | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
which could be sleeping pills. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
Pill bottle, filled to the brim of blue tablets, which are probably diazepam. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:57 | |
Blue pills found in a camouflage jacket under the stairs. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
-Is it the same as that pill we recovered earlier? -Yeah, it looks that way. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
-Are they unmarked? -Yeah. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:05 | |
They're Manos, then. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:07 | |
Not actual diazepams, but Manos, which are the same. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
And there's the small matter of the potentially dangerous weapons to take care of. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
This was one of his nice... | 0:13:14 | 0:13:19 | |
At the side of his bed upstairs. Obviously not the sort of thing we like people to be having, | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
especially when people are aware we're going to be coming through their front doors. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
It's a bag full of dirty needles. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
A further discovery of more drug-taking paraphernalia upstairs | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
means the team have to take extra caution, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
because there's a series of loaded and lined up syringes. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
They'll be amphet, I would've thought. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:42 | |
It could even be heroin, to be honest. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
The results of the search means Mick has a bounty of work to carry out | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
when he gets back to the station. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
All that will be put together and then it'll go to the | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
Priority Crime Team or one of the crime teams anyway, to be investigated. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
And during the course of the evening, | 0:13:58 | 0:13:59 | |
that guy's going to get interviewed, he'll have his say | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
and thereafter they'll look at what's going to happen to him, | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
and a decision will be made. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
When the man appeared before the judge, | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
he was sentenced to 15 months in jail for dealing amphetamine | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
and three extra months for dealing diazepam. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
The theft charge was discontinued. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
Over in Grimsby, the team responds to reports that a man was violently attacked | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
as two thieves tried to steal his moped. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
On arriving at the scene, PCSO Oli Genery had to fend off blows | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
from one of the suspects, before wrestling him to the ground. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
Another man was arrested after being caught escaping through a nearby back garden. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
Police are now speaking to witnesses to gather a picture of exactly what happened. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:49 | |
We're going to take the witness and the victim back to the station. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
-Are we happy we've got everything? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
Eyewitnesses are not the only important | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
source of information for the police. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
There's also the CCTV camera that this local shop has. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
We're hoping this store has some extra CCTV footage of what's gone on. Hi, buddy. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
Oli looks on at the CCTV. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
Could we have a look at that camera you're looking at now? | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
The whole incident unfolds before his eyes. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
The victim drives down the road on his scooter, pulls up at the | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
traffic lights, which, unfortunately, obscures part of our view of events. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
But look on, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
as suspect number one races down the road | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
and can be seen rushing at the victim on his stationary scooter. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
Then, another group of men can be seen racing to the scene. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
With the assault masked by the traffic lights, however, | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
Oli has to return to do some old-fashioned-style detective work | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
and hit the streets again looking for more witnesses. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
One of the guys started jumping around and I thought that the | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
motorbike had hit the car in front, but then they pushed him | 0:15:49 | 0:15:54 | |
and then the other guy from the van intervened | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
and then they all punched the guy from the van, and then kicked | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
and was stamping on his head and kicking him in his body. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
Fortunately, the victim avoided any serious injuries by virtue of the fact | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
that the heavy-duty clothing he was wearing cushioned him from the blows. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
From what I gather, he's just cut up, a bit shaken. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
Obviously it's quite a nasty experience, | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
trying to get your motorbike stolen from you, I'm assuming. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
A work colleague of the victim was the man in the van who raced to his help. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
Reliving the incident, he's stunned by what's happened. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
I'm shook up a little bit, obviously. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
But it was just pointless. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
There was no need for it. It was just mindless violence. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
One of the young lads came running up, pushed him straight | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
off his motorbike, started kicking him while he was on the floor. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
His hands was in his pockets, so he's trying to grab his keys. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
I jumped out the van. As I jumped out the van, he turned on me. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
As I walked up to him, he turned round and said, | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
"Do you want some of this?" | 0:16:55 | 0:16:56 | |
He started smacking me around the back of my head. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
As I was on the floor, all the other lads came running up and joined in. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
The patrol car came past and that was it. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
They all ran off, apart from one of them. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
As soon as the patrol car came along, they were straight out, | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
straight in there before it could get worse. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
The response was brilliant. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
The police were on the scene within less than a minute. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:22 | |
The CCTV acts as a timely reminder to show just how fast police | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
were in rounding up the suspects. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
With suspects under arrest and the victim having sustained no | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
serious injuries, it's a sterling result for the team. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
The man who ran away pleaded guilty to both robbery and assault | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
and was sentenced to 52 months behind bars. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
The lad on the floor, pleaded guilty to assaulting the officers | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
trying to arrest him and to robbery. He was sent to jail for 22 months. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:56 | |
The neighbourhood teams respond to all manner of issues, | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
but everything they do is in direct response | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
to local residents' complaints about crime. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
In a no-nonsense way, they set out to make a difference. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:16 | |
Aggravated burglary is amongst the most serious and feared of all crimes. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:23 | |
This occurs when a burglar breaks into a home or premises armed with a weapon. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:28 | |
Today, Dave McKinder and the team | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
are on the trail of a man wanted for this very offence. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
The police have been after him for months, | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
and as Dave explains, the net is now closing in. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
This happened quite some time ago. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
He's been laying low for months | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
and his co-accused has already been dealt with, | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
and I understand is currently in prison for his part in the offence. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
You've got to bear in mind that potentially, | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
if he is at home, there are certainly things he can use as weapons against us, | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
and he'll know the whereabouts of those in this house and we won't. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:05 | |
So we're going down there with enough staff to be able to | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
deal with anything we might come across. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
Extra backup is provided by a second team picked up along the way. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
With the target location coming into view, | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
Dave plans the best way to deploy the team. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
I think it's this white house coming up on this corner. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
AJ's identified it as being on the corner of the main road | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
and suggested our best plan might be to get round to the back | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
or the side of the address, where there might be any exits out the back. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
PCSO Sean Casson joins Dave going in at the front, | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
while the others block off the potential escape route. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
With no response and no sign of life behind the closed curtains, | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
the police seem to be drawing a blank. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
Anybody there, Sean? | 0:20:03 | 0:20:04 | |
-It's definitely the right address. -Yeah. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:07 | |
Shame to come all this way and not get anything from it, ain't it? One way or another. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:12 | |
But just then, there's a noise round the back. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
No man here, unfortunately. It's a dog. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
More a pooch looking to be pampered than a guard dog. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:28 | |
The animal offers a little light relief for the team. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:31 | |
And it would seem a little light relief for the dog is in order too. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
He peed all over your foot. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
He peed all over his foot. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
Perhaps Sean should've taken heed of the warning sign. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
A bit overexcited, I think. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:54 | |
Later, we rejoin the team for their return visit and see | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
if this time they get the result they're looking for. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
For many people, a dog is a man's best friend. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
But be warned, the number of people admitted to hospital due to | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
dog bites has risen in the last five years. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
In Humberside, the neighbourhood team take very seriously | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
any reported incidents of dogs biting the public. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
Today, Paul and Dave are paying a visit to a woman whose dog has | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
bitten someone whilst tied up outside a supermarket. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
She's failed to appear before court, | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
so it's time to go and collect her so she can face the magistrate. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
We haven't had a response from this address yet | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
and was met with no reply. All we got was a dog barking. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
So we're going to go down there again, give it a knock and we'll go from there. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:44 | |
If she's been seen in the last couple of days, then it would | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
suggest that she knows she's wanted and she's trying to avoid us. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
Today, Dave and Paul are armed with a warrant | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
and the equipment to break down the door, if needs be. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
Have you seen the woman who lives in there recently? | 0:21:56 | 0:22:00 | |
-She's been out this morning? Is she in now? -I don't know. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
You haven't seen her come back? Cheers. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
With a new court appearance scheduled, it's time for the | 0:22:06 | 0:22:10 | |
woman to face up to the charge that her dog has bitten someone. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
Lesley, it's the police. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
You need to come and answer the door now. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
Rather than go straight in with the big red key, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
police take a gentler approach. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
But when Sean Casson spots the woman behind her curtains, | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
Dave wonders if there's a reason why she's not answering. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
I wouldn't say she was hiding, but she's not... | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
Can we knock on the window to let her know that we're there? | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
-Because I'm just wondering if she's got hearing issues. -She might have. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
Lesley, you need to open the door cos we're going to have to put it through. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
We know you're in there because we've seen you. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
If you can hear me, come and answer it. It's the police. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
She's just knelt on the floor looking at something. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
-She is moving, isn't she? -Yeah, she's moving about. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
Options exhausted and warnings unheeded, | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
it's time now for a more direct approach. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
It's not having it at all. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
When the composite door absorbs the shock and holds fast, | 0:23:11 | 0:23:15 | |
the police trade up to a two-man ram, but the going's still tough. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
She's having none of it, so... | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
She's just burying her head in the sand, isn't she? Literally. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
With the locks not budging, it's time for a bit of strategic panel bashing. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:34 | |
Lesley, come to the door now. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
Otherwise your door is going to be ruined. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
A helpful key left in the lock solves the problem. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
Lesley. Police, we're coming in. Stay where you are. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:58 | |
Just open the door and see how the dog reacts before you go in. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
Hello? Hello? | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
Lesley, it's the police. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:05 | |
-Firstly, why didn't you answer the door? -Well... -This is the third day in a row now we've been. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
-We've asked you kindly to come to the door. -I've been out as well. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
-Right, but you haven't been out this morning, have you? -Not yet. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
We've been stood outside for nearly half an hour and we've pleaded with you to come to the door. | 0:24:15 | 0:24:19 | |
We've identified ourselves as the police, haven't we? | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
-What, with him barking... -Come on, Lesley. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
We've shouted long enough and loud enough. My colleagues have seen you through there. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
The woman protests that she hasn't heard the police | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
because her dog's been barking. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
The bottom line is you're going to have to come to court this morning. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
You obviously can't bring him with you. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
The woman refuses to leave her dog unless it's properly cared for. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
I can't leave him. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
-You have to, Lesley. As long as he's got water. -You put him in a kennel. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
I can't put them in a kennel, no. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:47 | |
But there'll be no kennel for this canine. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
You're only going to be gone a couple of hours. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
Now, your front door now is destroyed and needs boarding up. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
-Two of our colleagues will be standing with that. -Please don't let anybody get in my house. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
Two of our colleagues will be standing there until your address is made secure. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
Once it's made secure, we'll have another key for you. In the meantime, | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
they'll keep one eye on the dog. All he needs to do is stay in there. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
Just put him in there now, please. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
The dog is removed to another room, though the hamsters can stay put. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
Come on, Lesley, you need to go now. Lesley. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
Lesley, the reason I'm arresting you is | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
-so we can take you to court, all right? -Not even to say... | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
-You're not allowed to anyway. -Come on, then. Come on. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:28 | |
Don't let him go, please. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
As the court is not yet open, the woman is taken to the station. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
I don't believe she has any issues with her hearing. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
She communicated with us perfectly well while we were talking to her. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
She'd have been able to hear us banging on the windows and doors | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
and certainly when we started hitting the door with the ram, | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
she would have been aware that was happening. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
She's obviously just thought that if she ignores us, we'll go away | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
and I'm sure when we've been on previous occasions, she's probably | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
been in there, but has probably just chosen not to answer the door. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
Under arrest, the woman is required to stay in a cell | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
until it's time to go to court. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
But getting her to respond to police requests still isn't easy. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:08 | |
OK, just pop yourself in. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
Lesley? You have to go in. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
All right. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
Finally, appearing in court, | 0:26:16 | 0:26:17 | |
the woman was instructed to have her dog muzzled | 0:26:17 | 0:26:20 | |
and on a lead at all times out in public or have it put down. | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
She was also required to pay compensation | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
to the bite victim of £500. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
Searching for a burglar, police have drawn a blank, | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
but it's not over till it's over | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
and a return visit to the house where he's thought to be hiding | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
is on the cards once again. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
To be honest, I can't imagine | 0:26:45 | 0:26:46 | |
-he's going to be up and about at this time of day. -No. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
Perhaps the early bird will catch the worm. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:54 | |
Second time round, Dave and the team now know the lie of the land | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
and immediately fan out to surround the house. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
But has their early-morning ploy been for nothing? | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
HE KNOCKS | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
Once again, there's movement round the back. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
-Hello. -Have my colleagues gone in? | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
The wanted man's grandfather confirms | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
that the others are inside and have found their target. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
We've come to the address, | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
we've knocked on the door on both sides | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
and we've found the wanted male inside. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
He's quite calm and he's complying with us. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
Fortunately, the man comes quietly | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
and even helps Dave navigate back to the main road. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
-Just follow the road round. -Just follow the road around? OK. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
You're not leading us into an ambush, are you? | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
The man actually seems to be pleased to be taken into custody. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
Wow, that was a long drive. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
The two long trips were worth it for the neighbourhood team. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
Appearing at Crown Court, the man pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary | 0:28:10 | 0:28:15 | |
and was sentenced to 12 months behind bars. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
Right, we'll leave you, then, Ashley. See you later. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 |
