0:00:02 > 0:00:05Neighbourhood policing's come a long way since Dixon Of Dock Green.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Good evening, all.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09From inner-city estates to suburbia, this new
0:00:09 > 0:00:13generation of community police officers are on the front line.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Their aim is to develop a stronger bond with the community,
0:00:18 > 0:00:22crack down on the crimes taking place on your doorstep
0:00:22 > 0:00:26and formulate fast action plans to take down the criminals.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27- I said no.- I said yes.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31In this series of Neighbourhood Blues,
0:00:31 > 0:00:33we go to the Humberside Police region
0:00:33 > 0:00:36and get exclusive access to 12 teams of neighbourhood
0:00:36 > 0:00:40police officers as they tackle the problems blighting local people.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- No, I don't care.- Hey, hey, hey.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49And rise to the challenge of making the streets a safer place.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Coming up...
0:01:14 > 0:01:18The team take the drug dealers to task.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Police!
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Stay where you are. Put that down, mate.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25A man wanted for assault is not going down without a fight.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- I said no.- I said yes.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32And there's a clamp-down on drivers looking to illegally top-up
0:01:32 > 0:01:34their tanks with industrial-use red diesel.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Looks a bit red, so I'm going to have to do some tests on it.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Neighbourhood police teams play an integral part in the wider
0:01:45 > 0:01:46role played by the police force
0:01:46 > 0:01:51and they're always there to support larger nationwide operations,
0:01:51 > 0:01:56looking to curtail lawbreakers in whatever guise they might strike.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Tonight, the Riverside team are gearing up to execute
0:02:00 > 0:02:04a warrant against a property used by a suspected drug abuser,
0:02:04 > 0:02:08following complaints from residents about the house in question.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11And they are taking no chances against man or dog,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13who may be at the address.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15This is a dog shield.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17It's basically one of our normal riot shields
0:02:17 > 0:02:23but it's kitted out to try and prevent dogs from getting at us.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25It just has a bit of an electrical charge on it.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Gareth Walker details the minefield of risks
0:02:34 > 0:02:37the police are potentially facing at the target location.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39The magistrates have given us
0:02:39 > 0:02:42a warrant with a power of entry to the address.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46There's some intelligence in relation to this address.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48There's quite a lot of weapons on it,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50swords and things like that inside the address, which,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53if you've got people smashing your front door down,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56who you don't know who they are, they may well arm themselves with
0:02:56 > 0:03:00any equipment that they've got in there to protect themselves.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Silently getting into position to force entry,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13the police check the door's locked
0:03:13 > 0:03:16then find the optimum position for the battering ram.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Police!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Stay where you are. Put that down, mate.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31The two of you, stay there. Put your hands where we can see them, love.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Police immediately detain two occupants safely.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Fortunately, the task goes off without difficulty -
0:03:37 > 0:03:40perhaps because one person is just wearing a towel
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and the other is naked.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48The quivering dog in the cage isn't exactly the threatening guard dog
0:03:48 > 0:03:51police intelligence had told them to expect.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- He's not very happy, I don't think, but he's in a cage, so...- Hello!
0:03:56 > 0:03:58You're brave in there, aren't you?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Hello! Aren't you gorgeous?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04D'you want to get yourselves dressed?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- There's my clothes on the stairs. - Get Jenny to come in.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08We'll get her dressed in front of Jenny.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Oh, my God!- BLEEP!- Oh, bloody hell.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Jenny, just make sure she doesn't touch anything.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14The police have caught a couple who were truly
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- unawares as they were sharing a bathtub.- Where's your towels?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Er, I don't know. That one were just in here.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Find out later if the search for drugs turns up anything suspicious.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46The role of the neighbourhood police teams is largely to listen
0:04:46 > 0:04:50and respond to residents' concerns about crime, but sometimes
0:04:50 > 0:04:53they also take on the important role of rounding up criminals
0:04:53 > 0:04:57wanted for causing crimes in the community.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01People who are wanted for questioning by police,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04who are obliged to attend a police station
0:05:04 > 0:05:06if they have broken the conditions of their bail,
0:05:06 > 0:05:09often play a game of hide-and-seek.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Over on the south side of Hull, David Mackinder
0:05:12 > 0:05:16and Terry Mitchell are looking for a man wanted for causing affray.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20They are scouting the streets around the man's home for any sign of him.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22A tip-off tells the police the suspect has been seen out
0:05:22 > 0:05:25walking with a large German Shepherd type dog
0:05:25 > 0:05:28and it's not long before Dave spots the man.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Was it a hi-vis jacket?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33He's got the large dog with him
0:05:33 > 0:05:36and he looks like he could also be brandishing a weapon.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Stopping the van to make the arrest,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40they not only have the dog
0:05:40 > 0:05:43but also a large wooden stick to contend with.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Put it down now, otherwise I'll lock you up for affray.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- I said no.- Put it down now. Put it down...
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- But the man continues to resist arrest.- ..now!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- INDISTINCT - Ali, let go!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55When the leaping dog has a go at Dave's arm,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57it's time to get the cuffs on.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Get your dog off, and put the stick down.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- You're under arrest, on suspicion of affray.- No!- Yes. Yes, yes.- No.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05But that is easier said than done.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I said no!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15No!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- I said no!- I said yes, Ali.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- No.- I will spray you, Ali!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Relax yourself now.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Sandwiched between two officers,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31the man remains determined to resist arrest.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Dave warns he is prepared to use the debilitating PAVA spray
0:06:35 > 0:06:37to get the cuffs fastened.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Extra hands are needed and a quick request for backup is radioed in.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42We need another patrol.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45He's got a large stick and a dog.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48If you don't let go of your dog, if you don't comply, I will spray you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Let go of your dog.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Warnings over, the restraining spray is finally used.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Let's try again, Ali. Let go.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00The PAVA's unexpected punch takes effect immediately.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Let go.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Right, your dog's gone.- Oh!
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Has my eyes gone?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Yeah, your eyes will go, as well, Ali. You wouldn't do as I said.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11PAVA is an incapacitant spray now used by police forces
0:07:11 > 0:07:14instead of pepper spray or CS gas.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Yes, I sprayed you, right. I gave you numerous...attempts.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Wrestling with the pain, the man finds new impetus to fight the cuffs
0:07:21 > 0:07:23but it's a losing battle.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Relax your arm.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34OWNER CALLS HIS DOG OFFICER WHISTLES DOG
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Right, what you need to do is open your eyes, if you can.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- I can't open it.- You've got to try.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45The agony from the PAVA dissipates on contact with air.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47For this to happen, the eyes have to be opened,
0:07:47 > 0:07:51but the man insists on keeping his firmly shut.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Can you see where you're going? You need to put your foot up.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57I can see nothing! I didn't see nothing.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59OK, you need to put your foot up, Ali.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Finally, locked up in the van,
0:08:02 > 0:08:06the man's still refusing to see the light, and open his eyes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Scratches and bites off that dog.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13As the errant canine is recaptured
0:08:13 > 0:08:15and about to find his way to the pound,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19the man makes his way to jail.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25He's been totally uncooperative from the start, really.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27And, ultimately,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29after numerous requests for him to comply,
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I've sprayed him with my PAVA spray.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33We'll try and get him booked in,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36but if his demeanour is anything like it has been on the street,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38we might struggle, to be honest.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40But we'll take it as it comes.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Do you have an address?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46The man doesn't respond.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Ali, where are you living?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Ali, I'm not prepared to take these handcuffs off
0:08:52 > 0:08:54until you comply with us.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I can't finish the search until I take the handcuffs off
0:08:57 > 0:08:59and we can't book you in until you answer these questions.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Are you going to answer them?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04When pressed further, there is still no answer.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06The danger is, if you don't talk to us, cooperate with us...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I am falling.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09You're not falling.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13If you don't cooperate with us,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15we'll be forced to take your fingerprints.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Returning to examine the original arrest warrant,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21police identify the silent suspect.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Yeah, his nose is bust.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24He's been PAVAd, been struggling...
0:09:24 > 0:09:27He's been fine until he got here.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31A medical once-over confirms there's no cause for alarm from the PAVA,
0:09:31 > 0:09:35but questions about his general health hit the same brick wall.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Ali, do you have any medical issues that we need to be aware of?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Because I don't know who you are,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I don't know what risk is going to be involved.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45A strip search was authorised to make sure you have nothing on you
0:09:45 > 0:09:46that is going to harm us or yourself.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Come this way, Ali.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Matters now need to be resolved,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52and potential hazards identified.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Will you answer the questions?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58If you don't, you'll just have to sit here
0:09:58 > 0:10:00until the time when you're prepared to.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Do you want to try again?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Yep. Put your socks on, then.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05In the wake of the strip search,
0:10:05 > 0:10:09cooperation is promised and the man's powers of speech return.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Have you remembered your birthday yet?- Something August.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Go and wash your face and come back and you can get fingerprinted.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Rinse your eyes with some of that.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Can you see, or do you need me to guide you?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Come this way.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Keep walking. Stop there.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Turn around,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34and if you sit down quite low, there's a bench there.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36OK? We'll come and see you, shortly.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38With the wanted man locked up,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Dave decides to take a closer look
0:10:40 > 0:10:41at his arrest file,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44and is startled at what he discovers.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47This is the original arrest package for this male
0:10:47 > 0:10:50that we've arrested a while ago.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It appears as though there's been some kind of an assault.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58While he was wanted for a violent assault,
0:10:58 > 0:11:03the police reread the evidence to ascertain who owned the dog.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11He started hitting her with whatever was in his hand.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13He's then taken the dog.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16The man pleaded not guilty to assault and theft.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20But at court he was given a 12-week suspended sentence,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23and a victim surcharge of £80.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26The man was not charged with taking the dog.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Neighbourhood officers regularly perform vehicle patrols
0:11:33 > 0:11:34around their patch,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37paying particular attention to known trouble hotspots,
0:11:37 > 0:11:41that can be a magnet for people looking to break or bend the law.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Tonight, John Hamilton and Rich Whelan,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46are cruising through a shopping mall car park
0:11:46 > 0:11:49that has been known to attract hot-rodding boy racers
0:11:49 > 0:11:51looking to show off.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54These guys here, these are the proper sort of enthusiasts.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Literally, they just talk about their cars,
0:11:56 > 0:11:58look at all the modifications to the cars,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01all the latest sound equipment they've got - things like that.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04They're not generally the problem, it's the hangers-on,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06the little tatty Vauxhall Corsas and things like that,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08that hang on around them.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10They're the ones that tend to cause the problems.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13All the cars seem firmly stationary tonight,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15with no fast moves being pulled.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18But, as John and Rich continue their drive-by,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20a call comes through over the radio.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Not about a boy racer,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24but an unruly cinemagoer.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26The cinema on the top floor have got a male inside
0:12:26 > 0:12:28who has been drinking and being abusive to staff.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31He's been asked to leave by security, but he's refusing.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33The team deal with drunken people on a daily basis,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35but never know how they're to be dealt with
0:12:35 > 0:12:38until they can assess them face-to-face.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45On arriving at the scene, they find the man to be fairly composed,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48but the police need to take his details anyway.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Obviously, it was the heat of the moment, I didn't...
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I can't remember saying that.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Said some choice words.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Don't remember that, at all.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00OK.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Erm... I'm willing to leave now.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Have you got his details?- No.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Just take your name, then you can leave.- Yeah, yeah.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09A member of the cinema staff thinks the man should apologise
0:13:09 > 0:13:11for all the disruption he has caused.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14But, any apology is hesitantly forthcoming.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29But at the end of the day...
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- I'm out.- The man is on his way.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34But just when they think the matter is done and dusted,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36another call comes in over the radio for Rich.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39It could be in relation to the male that's just been ejected.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Because he is still outside on the ramp.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45This chap wanders up, starts initially saying,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47"Have you got any fags?"
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- And then starts getting a little aggressive.- Right.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I don't know what his problem is,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55but he seems to have unfortunately taken something to heart.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- He has just been ejected from the cinema.- Has he?- It's why we're here.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Oh, sorry.- Oh, no, it's fine. It's not a problem.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04That's some of the reason we're waiting around,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06to see he didn't cause any more issues.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Well, he just seems to have a little bit of annoyance about something.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- Anyway, sorry. Thank you.- No, you're welcome. No problem, at all.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16With the information to hand, Rich sets about
0:14:16 > 0:14:18trying to find the drunken man
0:14:18 > 0:14:20before he can insult anyone else.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22They track the man down.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23He's been refused a taxi home,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26but he's not going anywhere without getting a ticket.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You just cancelled my taxi?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31We haven't cancelled it, he's just decided not to take you.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Another driver will take you, however...
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Hang on with your call, mate.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37The patrol here is going to issue you with a ticket,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39then you can be on your way.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Ticket for what?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Just to ban you from the area, that's all.- For what?
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Because you're drunk.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47The patrol team arrives on the scene
0:14:47 > 0:14:50and when the man has been given a Section 27 dispersal notice,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54they will escort him from the premises to ensure that he leaves.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57We're going to give you a notice to ban you from the area.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Yeah, yeah, fair enough.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04It gives that last opportunity to get out of the area
0:15:04 > 0:15:06and stay out of the area, sober up,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08without having to arrest him.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11With the man taken away, the cinemagoers of St Stephens
0:15:11 > 0:15:13can continue to watch their movie
0:15:13 > 0:15:16without any further unscheduled intervals
0:15:16 > 0:15:19caused by the man's drunken antics.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Executing a search warrant for drugs...
0:15:30 > 0:15:32police officers surprise two people in the bath...
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Two of you, stay there.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Put your hands where we can see them, love.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40..and found a captive dog, who seems more frightened than frightening.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41You're not happy, are you?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- LOW GROWL - Bless ya.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Come here, love. Have to put you in cuffs
0:15:45 > 0:15:47whilst we're wandering about, all right?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49These people the police have found,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51are not the registered tenants of the house.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56They have just enough time to cover up their modesty
0:15:56 > 0:15:58before they get questioned about why they are in the house,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00and the whole place gets searched.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Waiting for the sniffer dog,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04officers take a preliminary look around,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07immediately discovering suspicious items.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10That's enough to get them in for me. We can get them both in, can't we?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Just searching the higher parts, until the dog comes in.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Found a bag of white powder which potentially looks like M-Cat
0:16:18 > 0:16:21or some sort of amphetamine.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Erm, coupled with that,
0:16:23 > 0:16:24we've got...
0:16:25 > 0:16:28..scales in a box with cash in, as well.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30And empty sachets, so, for me,
0:16:30 > 0:16:32it's enough probably to get them for
0:16:32 > 0:16:34possession with intent to supply, at this time.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37But I'll discuss it with the rest of the team.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41It's time to read the bath-time buddies their rights.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43We just found some drugs in there, all right?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45INDISTINCT RESPONSE
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Well, at this time, you are both under arrest
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- for possession with intent to supply - BLEEP...
0:16:49 > 0:16:51which is Class B, we believe.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53The sniffer dog arrives.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Before he can even get going, his handler's spotted more evidence.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03INDISTINCT EXCHANGE
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Anything else in here you can think of, mate?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08No, I've been everywhere but nothing.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09The police fear they may be
0:17:09 > 0:17:12confronted by someone wielding a weapon.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Doesn't look very nice.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19But whilst there are a number of Oriental blades on display,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22they do appear to be purely ornamental..
0:17:22 > 0:17:25if very menacing.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27As the suspects are taken to the police station,
0:17:27 > 0:17:31it turns out the house has more secrets to reveal.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36And evidence to be bagged up.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Got some little bags... Some little funky motif on.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Probably used for some sort of deals.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44They like little characters.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Some sort of white residue.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51White residue with a set of scales.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It could be M-Cat
0:17:58 > 0:17:59by the looks of it.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04The hunt for drugs continues in the kitchen,
0:18:04 > 0:18:09where Gareth finds something other than frozen peas in the freezer.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Generally people keep amphetamine as a paste substance in the freezer.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16So we're guessing that's what that is at this stage.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18But, obviously, it will require testing for fingerprints,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21and testing of what the actual substance is.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24And it's now time to help the nervous-looking dog,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26who had been quivering in the cage.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Hello...!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31We moved him in here, just so that the drugs dog
0:18:31 > 0:18:34can go and carry on its search in the living room.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36So it can progress the search, really.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38It's one dog out, and another in,
0:18:38 > 0:18:41as the search extends throughout the house.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Returning to the bathroom,
0:18:43 > 0:18:47the dog's attention is caught by the woman's abandoned handbag.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52The handbag doesn't turn up trumps for the team.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57But the dog switches his attention to a nearby rucksack.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03And this time his nose is on the money.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Figuratively, at least.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Adding more scales to the haul of evidence,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18the dog's done good.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27However, no charges have been brought
0:19:27 > 0:19:29against those involved in the incident.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36It's good news when the team score a result,
0:19:36 > 0:19:41but they know there's always another problem just around the corner.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43With fuel prices rising,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46vehicle owners are finding increasingly ingenious ways
0:19:46 > 0:19:48to keep their vehicles on the road
0:19:48 > 0:19:50and costs down.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Using cheap diesel, known as red diesel,
0:19:52 > 0:19:56which is reserved for tractors, cranes and other off-road vehicles,
0:19:56 > 0:19:57is one scam.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Its lower-price leads to lower tax levies,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04which can make a real saving in drivers' pockets at the pump.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06But thanks to an ingenious coloured dye,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08red diesel can be spotted easily.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Samples only take a minute,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12and with Customs and Excise on site,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15the results are equally swift.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Today, Bridlington police are carrying out impromptu inspections
0:20:19 > 0:20:23on cars and vans, ensuring there are no surprises
0:20:23 > 0:20:24lurking under the bonnet.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Will you let Keith know,
0:20:27 > 0:20:28- that that Transit van is OK?- Yeah.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31But not everyone's happy for their vehicle to be checked out.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Can I have your names and numbers? - Same again?
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Yeah. Write it down for me.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38They've just followed me from outside my house
0:20:38 > 0:20:40and brought me down here.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43What's all that about?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46The police have been stopping all diesel-engined vehicles,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48but this man wrongly believes
0:20:48 > 0:20:50he has been picked out for scrutiny.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53He decides to make his displeasure known.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Protests don't stop the tank dip,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58and the preliminary results
0:20:58 > 0:21:00immediately raise suspicions.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Looks a bit red, so I'll have to do some tests on it. OK?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10INDISTINCT SPEECH FROM CAR
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I'm going to. Don't worry, you'll be hearing from my solicitor, love!
0:21:15 > 0:21:17The red diesel test takes just a matter of seconds
0:21:17 > 0:21:20to be carried out, and deliver a result.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25It's not good news. As the results come back red,
0:21:25 > 0:21:30with a fine to be paid before the van can be released,
0:21:30 > 0:21:31the driver's none too pleased.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Get that camera away from me!
0:21:34 > 0:21:35- Do you think I'm- BLEEP- with you?!
0:21:35 > 0:21:37'Ey!
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Get it away from me!
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Details of the likely fine appear to have lit the touch paper,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43but can the man rein it in
0:21:43 > 0:21:46when he phones someone for financial help?
0:21:46 > 0:21:50A woman arrives and wants to know why the man's in trouble.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53We did follow him all the way up from the roundabout.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57The man remains convinced that he has been targeted,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00but the police confirm that all diesel vans have been tested.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- OFFICER:- He's not the only one.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05They haven't even been dipping 'em as they've been fetching them in now.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06They are if they're diesel.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08That last one just came in...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10It was a fake plate, didn't even get dipped.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- It drove straight back out. - If it's diesel, it will have been.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22The woman pays the fine and gets the man back behind the wheel.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26But, he'll have to keep driving
0:22:26 > 0:22:30in order to drain the tank of the diesel within 24 hours,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32or he'll be fined again.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37He stated that the reason the red fuel was in there was because
0:22:37 > 0:22:39he believed he lent it to a friend
0:22:39 > 0:22:43and the friend has obviously put it in without him knowing.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46For some, cheap diesel comes at a very high price.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Round about £550 today
0:22:49 > 0:22:52and...
0:22:52 > 0:22:54she's come down and paid it all for him, as well.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58So he's been allowed, then, to drive the vehicle away.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Not very happy. But that's down to him,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04he shouldn't drive a vehicle with red diesel in it.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Live music is welcome on the streets of Humberside,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15but finding a suitable volume level
0:23:15 > 0:23:18is an art form in its own right.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22PCSO John Hammerton steps in to a dispute over decibels.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25..and keep it quite low, that is very loud.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27We're trying to work in those offices.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30We can't hear ourselves think, or the telephone, for your voice.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Everybody has to live, sir.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Don't be so selfish.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It's not easy to be so selfish.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Everybody has to live.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41There is no need for you to make that noise here.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43No need... I have need.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46The council's approach to busking
0:23:46 > 0:23:49is they actively encourage busking in Hull city centre.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51However, that is too loud.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55Some people they are so selfish, they think only after themselves.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58John encourages the man to use his voice and not his backup tracks.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01I couldn't even hear your singing when I approached!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04That's why you're busking, aren't you? It's your voice...
0:24:04 > 0:24:06you want people to listen to.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Is he really dealing with a potential Pavarotti?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I think it's very good.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Better than some other buskers we have.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17The only issue is some of the businesses don't like how loud it is.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19But I've told him to turn it down.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21And I think that's appropriate.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Can we have your votes please, citizens of Humberside?
0:24:25 > 0:24:27SINGS FROM ITALIAN OPERA
0:24:29 > 0:24:31It's never dull in Hull.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35While serenading passers-by is encouraged...
0:24:35 > 0:24:37begging isn't.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40You know the score, don't come back.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44When the Vagrancy Act made begging illegal in 1824,
0:24:44 > 0:24:48it branded culprits as rogues and vagabonds.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51PCSO Karen Smith spots a familiar face blatantly begging,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53and decides to put her foot down.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Right...- I'm just waiting for... - No, listen to me.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01He usually buys a mag off me, that's why he give me it.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Listen, I know all about it.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05I've been called to you specifically for begging.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Karen's moved on a dozen beggars today already.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12And it is not long before another familiar face catches her eye.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- James.- Best seat in the house.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I know you have, hon.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- But you're classed as begging when you're sat there.- I'm listening.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I know, but people are giving you money.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25You might not have asked her for it, but the fact is,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27you have to get up off the floor and go sit on a bench.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30When you're sat there, you're classed as vagrant.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Although the man's not actively soliciting money,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36some people find it impossible to ignore him,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38and they're determined to hand over all their loose change.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- You're better off buying the dog some treats.- I know, but...
0:25:44 > 0:25:47You are. If you ever want to buy anything, buy the dog some food.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49That's what I always say.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Buy it some biscuits...
0:25:50 > 0:25:53It's all right, darl. I'll get it.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I haven't time to, at the moment.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57It's all right, sweetheart. Thank you.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- You get it.- Cheers, darling.- OK. - Really.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Buy the dog some food next time. - I will next time.- All right.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Over on the other side of the city square,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Tina Burn picks up the begging patrol and explains why,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10although Hull has a number of hostels for the homeless,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12demand often outstrips supply.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14We've got quite a few hostels,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16but we're getting other councils
0:26:16 > 0:26:17from the other end of the country
0:26:17 > 0:26:20recommending that people come to Hull
0:26:20 > 0:26:21because we've all these hostels.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23But they're full.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26We still have people on the streets because the hostels are full.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29So we've got to find somewhere and help them in some form
0:26:29 > 0:26:31to stop them being out in the cold.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35As night falls and the temperature drops,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38many of those who spent the day on the street
0:26:38 > 0:26:41look to find a bed for the night.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Living on the street is challenging enough,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45without also having to go hungry.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Right, who wants to have some hotpot?- Yes, please.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50At the Roper Street, Hull, centre
0:26:50 > 0:26:53classic winter warmers are menu favourites.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57We've got potatoes and mince, sort of, hotpot.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59So it's full of goodness.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Swinging by for a chat with regulars and new visitors alike,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Tina Burn helps out with a spot of waitressing.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Is there any bread? - Not tonight, no, I'm afraid.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12We need the bread for the morning.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14We just make up a menu for it.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16We try and stick to the menu, if we can.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Obviously, we're a little bit adaptable.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Thank you very much. Cheers.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Washing-up in hand, Tina catches up with hostel worker Tim,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29who confirms it's a full house tonight.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Are we full tonight?
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Yeah, we're chocka.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34All beds full.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37We're a winter shelter, with the most vulnerable people
0:27:37 > 0:27:39coming through our doors.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44This hostel life isn't a lifestyle choice.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Nor should it be.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49They've got to know there's more to life than this.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53There has to be a point - and that is to get them into their own house,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55in their own street,
0:27:55 > 0:27:58where they can start to really make a difference.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03And it starts here, and sort of branches out.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06A good meal, a roof over one's head,
0:28:06 > 0:28:07helpful staff,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10and a positive relationship with the police
