0:00:02 > 0:00:04Neighbourhood policing has come a long way since
0:00:04 > 0:00:06the days of Dixon of Dock Green.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Good evening, all.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11The new generation of community police officers
0:00:11 > 0:00:13have the power to strike hard...
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Police! You're under arrest.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19- ..and tackle crime head-on. - Calm down!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22- By engaging with people on the street...- You and me always get on. - Yeah.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24..the teams can identify
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and crack down on the crimes that are crippling our communities.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29They are clearly violent individuals.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- In this series of Neighbourhood Blues...- Happy birthday.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35..we're given unprecedented access to Somerset's Neighbourhood teams...
0:00:35 > 0:00:39I'm asking you not to street-drink. Go somewhere else. BLEEP
0:00:39 > 0:00:43- ..as they battle to clear up crime...- Stand still!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Right, you're under arrest for assault.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49..and sweep the criminals clean from our streets.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51BLEEP
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Coming up... A foul-mouthed shoplifter gets taken down.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- Ah, you...- Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17The Neighbourhood Team hits the jackpot
0:01:17 > 0:01:20when they discover £30,000 worth of cannabis.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22If you were to do this three or four times a year,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24that's an awful lot of money to be making.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28And disaster strikes as a car smashes into a house.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I went in to have some dinner,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32sat down and I just heard this massive noise.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40For convicted offenders, coming out of prison
0:01:40 > 0:01:44and back into the community can be a tough transition.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47The Neighbourhood Teams address this issue by providing information,
0:01:47 > 0:01:54support and encouragement to those prisoners who have just been released.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Today in Bath, Neighbourhood Officer Adge Secker is on his way to
0:01:57 > 0:02:00visit a young man who's just been released from prison.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Part of our role is obviously catching criminals and putting
0:02:03 > 0:02:08them inside, but when they come out, making sure they don't do it again.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13The trouble is some people just rebound from prison to
0:02:13 > 0:02:17a bit of liberty and then back into prison and that's a life cycle
0:02:17 > 0:02:19they've had for many, many years.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Visit over, Adge continues his patrol,
0:02:21 > 0:02:25but it's not long before a call comes in.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Job at Costcutter just round the corner, someone has gone in there,
0:02:29 > 0:02:34and has, um...picked up a can of...
0:02:34 > 0:02:39or picked up some booze, can of cider, I don't know yet.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Refusing to pay for it and he's opened it up
0:02:41 > 0:02:43and is drinking it in the shop.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48So hopefully he's there when we get there.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51A short walk later, Adge arrives at the shop,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53but will the shoplifter still be there?
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Good-oh. You still got that hairdresser's car, then?
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Like most Neighbourhood Officers, Adge is well known in the community.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Hello, how long have you been working here?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- About three weeks.- Have you? Nice to see you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09All right, what's happened, then?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I've gone all shaky now.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- He's not the guy sat out there, is he?- Yeah.- Which one? On the wall?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Yeah, the young, skinny one. - What's he done?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- He's got a can of Stella?- No, he's got four cans of Red Stripe.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- He's not paying for it? - He said, "I'm not paying for it. I need to get arrested.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26"I want to be locked up again. I've got nothing else."
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Oh, for God's sake. - I tried to talk him out of it.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32It's not every day a shoplifter reports their own crime,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35but apparently that's exactly what's happened here.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Are you Wayne?- Oh, yeah, I'm Wayne.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Get the- BLEEP.- Get that TV...
0:03:44 > 0:03:46You need to be paying for that alcohol.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Right, you're under arrest for assault.- I'm under arrest anyway!
0:03:50 > 0:03:51BLEEP
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Look at this, that's what I wanted!- Get off the wall.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Put that can down! Put it down now!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Put it down now, there's a good boy.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Get down there, drop that can.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- All right, then.- BLEEP.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Stay there, exactly where you are.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14If this gobby lad thought he could backchat Adge and get away with it, he was sorely mistaken.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I need a unit up, please, at Costcutter's.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21On the hurry-up. One arrested for assault and theft.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- something which you later rely on in court.- Argh!- Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Keep yourself still, you're all right, won't you?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34If I were you, I'd just keep exactly still, got it?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- I haven't done anything- BLEEP- wrong!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Just let me stand up, man!- BLEEP
0:04:39 > 0:04:40No, because you're volatile
0:04:40 > 0:04:43and I don't know what you're going to do.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Backup is en route
0:04:45 > 0:04:48although there's little doubt that Adge has this situation in hand.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Do you understand me? Do you understand that?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Please, man. - No, you started this, not me.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Bizarrely, this lad WANTED to be arrested.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Stealing beer and launching an unprovoked attack on the cameraman
0:05:01 > 0:05:05has brought him a ticket to the cells at Bath Police Station.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08And he's still got plenty to say for himself.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Looking forwards at me...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I'm not looking forward at you. I'm looking at this camera right here.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Don't be...- BLEEP. - Don't be such an idiot.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21- Just calm yourself down, all right? - Stop tensing.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24You've put yourself in this position, so let us deal with it, then.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I was the one that called you up.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29This is what yous lot don't understand, I called yous up.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Yeah, well, thank you for that. - So you can arrest me.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Now you've been arrested and all you're doing is complaining.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Yeah, because look at the way yous treating me.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41What this lad's demanding is extraordinary.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49It's a tragic set of circumstances
0:05:49 > 0:05:54when a 26-year-old man feels that life behind bars is the answer.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56He's only just come out of prison.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01He wants to go back to prison because he's got no money,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04he's got nowhere to live, he's got no food.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Um, so...in the state that he's in at the moment,
0:06:08 > 0:06:12he thought the best way to deal with that was to go stealing.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13He wants to go back to prison.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Earlier on in the day, I went to visit somebody that has just come
0:06:16 > 0:06:18out of prison, who wants to stay out of prison.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22So it's a vicious cycle, really, and that's what we deal with,
0:06:22 > 0:06:26and fairly typical, frankly, of neighbourhood policing.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28As misguided as the lager-throwing lout is,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31he did go on to get exactly what he wanted
0:06:31 > 0:06:35when he was given a 12-week prison sentence for theft and assault.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Cannabis farms are a big problem for communities across the UK.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46The Neighbourhood Teams are constantly on the lookout
0:06:46 > 0:06:50for the telltale signs that the drug is being grown,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52but sometimes luck can have just as big a part to play
0:06:52 > 0:06:56when it comes to clamping down on the crime.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Karl Bowen is travelling to an address in rural Somerset.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01There's been a fire in an outbuilding
0:07:01 > 0:07:05and the fire brigade are reporting that there's a cannabis farm inside.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08The thing is, these cannabis factories can pop up anywhere.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11People rent whole houses and convert them
0:07:11 > 0:07:15to a cannabis factory or it could be something as simple as this -
0:07:15 > 0:07:18someone just converting a small area of a garage.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22It's indiscriminate.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Arriving at the address, Karl discovers that the firefighters
0:07:25 > 0:07:27have already tackled the blaze.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30It was in the garage of a remote house.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33It looks like an electrical fault started the fire.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36So we've got to wait for the electrician to come along
0:07:36 > 0:07:39because obviously it was hot-wired, hence, potentially, the reason
0:07:39 > 0:07:41why we've got the fire, OK?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Inside the garage are a number of growing lamps
0:07:44 > 0:07:45and charred plant remains.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49All clues suggest that this building has been used to grow cannabis.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Karl gets to work investigating the scene.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54What we've got here, we're not sure at the moment who this
0:07:54 > 0:07:57belongs to, so just looking through the litter, we've found
0:07:57 > 0:08:00a couple of named addressed envelopes and some information that
0:08:00 > 0:08:04has been sent to names of people who may be living in the property.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Unfortunately, there's little else in the charred
0:08:09 > 0:08:14remains of the garage, so Karl turns his attention to the house.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18There's washing-up in the sink which could
0:08:18 > 0:08:22signify that there is people occupying the property.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26We'll just have to make some enquiries via our computer systems
0:08:26 > 0:08:27to see who we've got living here.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33With no-one around to let him in,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Karl can only peer through the windows.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39We don't know if this property is associated with the garage.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I mean, that could be a private let to somebody else
0:08:41 > 0:08:43so we can't force entry at this time.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I am just a bit concerned because there are windows
0:08:46 > 0:08:49open above which would normally suggest that there's somebody in.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52They might be in a bit of denial at the fact that we're all out here
0:08:52 > 0:08:54at the moment, so...
0:08:54 > 0:08:58we'll have patience and we'll hopefully raise them soon.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01A team from the electricity company have arrived and they're
0:09:01 > 0:09:05worried there may still be mains electricity running to the garage.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08This means Karl can get inside the house sooner than expected.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11The electricity guys, they are a bit concerned
0:09:11 > 0:09:13because the cable runs to the property.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Although their hand-held devices say there's no electricity there,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18they don't always trust those so the best thing to do is
0:09:18 > 0:09:21isolate it and unfortunately it means it's inside the property
0:09:21 > 0:09:24so we're going to have to get in there at some point.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- Are you prepared to go through the window, mate?- Yeah, yeah.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27I don't think I'd fit.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- I think one of these guys is going through first.- All right.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Bit size-ist, isn't it?!
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Says one giant to another!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39With the fire brigade on scene, and an open window,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42getting into the house is no problem.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Find out later the incredible discovery the team make
0:09:45 > 0:09:47when they search the premises.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51As you can see there, there is a substantial amount in this one.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Street value wise, thousands.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Anti Social Behaviour Orders, or ASBOs, are issued by the police
0:10:03 > 0:10:08to people who persistently behave in an abusive or disruptive manner.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10For most people, receiving the police warning is
0:10:10 > 0:10:14enough to keep their behaviour in check, but those who don't stick to
0:10:14 > 0:10:18the terms of their ASBO can expect a visit from the Neighbourhood Team.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24In Weston-Super-Mare, Steve Hanlon and the team are on their way
0:10:24 > 0:10:28to arrest one of the town's more unlikely recipients of an ASBO.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Jonathan Eden is a wheelchair-bound man who has repeatedly
0:10:32 > 0:10:36broken his ASBO which prohibits him from drinking in public or
0:10:36 > 0:10:39entering certain parts of the town centre.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Jonathan, do you want to open the door for us, please?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44There doesn't appear to be anyone home.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Although the silence doesn't last long.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Jonathan, just to save any damage to your door so you can come back...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52< Well, that's you! You!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54< That's you, isn't it?!
0:10:54 > 0:10:56< You twit!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00< You hate me and I hate you!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It's not a case that I hate you, Jonathan, it's just...
0:11:03 > 0:11:07< No way! No way! No way! No way! No way!
0:11:07 > 0:11:11< I'm not going to get set up again by you, you little fat twit!
0:11:11 > 0:11:14So I take it that you're not coming out, then?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Absolutely no way!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Undeterred, Steve persists.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Basically,- BLEEP!
0:11:20 > 0:11:23We'd much prefer that we didn't have to bash your door in...
0:11:26 > 0:11:29So there's no way that we can resolve this with you today, then?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32No, not today, no. Tomorrow, maybe, yeah?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34OK.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I will give myself up tomorrow, yeah?
0:11:36 > 0:11:40At the Neighbourhood Team's discretion, Jonathan has been
0:11:40 > 0:11:42allowed to turn himself in at the station tomorrow.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50But the next day, there's a problem, as PC Wayne Hughes explains.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53It was our intention to deal with Jonathan
0:11:53 > 0:11:57when he gave himself up to police at 12 midday today.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00He subsequently turned up at about 10:30 this morning
0:12:00 > 0:12:03at the police station, but when officers
0:12:03 > 0:12:08went down to the main entrance to speak to him, he left.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Officers tried to find Jonathan immediately after
0:12:10 > 0:12:12he left the station.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Where is he?
0:12:14 > 0:12:16He's hiding.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18But as there was no sign of him
0:12:18 > 0:12:21they've now come to his home address.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Jonathan? It's Wayne Hughes from the police.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Can I have a word with you, please?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Can you come to the door, open the door for me,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32so I can speak to you?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34At first, it appears no-one's home.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Jonathan? Jonathan?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Can you come to the door, please?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44But then the team are treated to a familiar greeting.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46No way, Jose!
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Jonathan, I need you to...
0:12:47 > 0:12:49INDECIPHERABLE ABUSE
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I need you to open this door, please?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53No way!
0:12:53 > 0:12:57And once again, Jonathan has no intention of opening up.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Jonathan, I'm going to give you 30 more seconds to open this door, and
0:13:01 > 0:13:04then my colleague is going to use the enforcer to
0:13:04 > 0:13:06force open this door.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08This is absolute nonsense!
0:13:08 > 0:13:11OK, well, just open the door, then, so that we can speak to you, please?
0:13:11 > 0:13:16After a final warning, the team adopts a more robust approach.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18We're going to use the enforcer now then, Jonathan.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Jonathan, where are you?
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Hello there.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Thankfully for Wayne and the team, Jonathan appears to
0:13:29 > 0:13:33be relatively sober, although he's denying any breach of his ASBO.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I've not ever, ever broken the Anti Social Behaviour Order.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence
0:13:39 > 0:13:41if you do not mention, when questioned,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43something which you later rely on in court.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50With the repairmen en route to fix Jonathan's door,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54the Neighbourhood Team are ready to head back to base.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Now we're off to Weston custody unit where Mr Eden will be dealt with
0:13:58 > 0:14:00by the way of an interview,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03and then a decision will be made as to what happens next.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08Back at the station, Jonathan is booked in by the custody sergeant.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Mr Eden, how are you feeling today?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- Well, pretty- BLEEP- off, to be perfectly honest.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Clearly peeved that he's been brought here,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Jonathan is refusing to accept the allegations.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I was not inside the exclusion zone.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Jonathan, that's the allegation that's been made, all right?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Jonathan's persistent lack of co-operation can make dealing
0:14:28 > 0:14:30with him a testing time for the Neighbourhood Team.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Are you going to answer the custody sergeant's questions?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36What's the blooming point, isn't it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I think it's true to say that when Mr Eden is under
0:14:39 > 0:14:43the influence of alcohol and he's in a public place like the town
0:14:43 > 0:14:46centre of Weston-Super-Mare, he is a problem to members of the general public,
0:14:46 > 0:14:50and with him now in custody, we've prevented that.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Jonathan Eden was given a £25 fine for breaking his ASBO and
0:14:53 > 0:14:58was released the following day, but it wasn't long before Wayne
0:14:58 > 0:15:01and the Neighbourhood Team were paying him yet another visit.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Find out what happened later on.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- BLEEP- me! You twits!
0:15:13 > 0:15:15The Neighbourhood Team have been called to a fire
0:15:15 > 0:15:19at a rural location. On arrival, they discovered the remains of
0:15:19 > 0:15:23what looks like a cannabis farm in a burnt-out garage.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26The electricity company need to access the nearby house to
0:15:26 > 0:15:28make the power supply safe.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31The fire brigade have climbed through an open window,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35giving PC Karl Bowen the opportunity to have a quick look around.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39As suspected, nobody's home.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46But it doesn't take Karl long before he makes a discovery.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Oh, there you go...
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Karl's found more cannabis processing equipment
0:15:53 > 0:15:54in an upstairs bedroom.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57What they seem to have set up at the moment is
0:15:57 > 0:16:00what they call a drying room, so they are going to take out
0:16:00 > 0:16:04a lot of the moisture that's in the cannabis to make ready for sale.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09As you can see there, there's a substantial amount in this one.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Karl and the team have uncovered an extremely profitable operation.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Street value wise, about that much,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18and that's a generous helping - it'd cost you a tenner.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22So you look at all that lot in there,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25thousands on that sheet, thousands on that, thousands on that,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28thousands on that, thousands on that, thousands on that.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31This cannabis factory is being shut down
0:16:31 > 0:16:34and the entire crop is being seized and bagged up as evidence.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37It's a great bust, but a rather smelly one at that.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43It's a very pungent smell that gets stuck on the back of your throat
0:16:43 > 0:16:47and it'll probably be there most of the day, I think.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50What we need to do is firmly establish who resides here,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53who's living at the address, who has control of the address,
0:16:53 > 0:16:55that's the important thing.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Bagging up all of the cannabis from the drying room,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01the crop is even bigger than they first thought.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Upstairs in the drying room there were seven shelves,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06each shelf has now been bagged up into its individual bag.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I would say, approximately at this stage, there's probably
0:17:08 > 0:17:11about £1,500 worth of cannabis in each bag.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15As you can see, this is a substantial haul and if you were to do this
0:17:15 > 0:17:18three or four times a year, that's an awful lot of money to be making.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22It's a fantastic find, but there's still plenty of work
0:17:22 > 0:17:26ahead before the Neighbourhood Team can get a conviction.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28We'll get back to the station and start booking in
0:17:28 > 0:17:31and start the process of getting the cannabis into the computer system
0:17:31 > 0:17:34so it's stored in the correct way, and then we're going to start
0:17:34 > 0:17:36doing some research as regard to trying to track down
0:17:36 > 0:17:38the gentleman who lives at this address.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Oh, it stinks in here!
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Further investigation revealed that the haul of cannabis was
0:17:48 > 0:17:53just over 3kg with a street value of £30,000,
0:17:53 > 0:17:57making the operation worth around £90,000 a year.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03The owner of the house pleaded guilty to possession with intent
0:18:03 > 0:18:05to supply and production of cannabis.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07He was given a 20-month suspended prison sentence.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Earlier we saw how Weston-Super-Mare's
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Neighbourhood Team have been dealing with a local disabled man.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23He'd been repeatedly breaking his ASBO by drinking in public
0:18:23 > 0:18:25and verbally abusing people.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28This behaviour is disruptive in any community, but especially
0:18:28 > 0:18:33in a small town like Weston that depends on its tourist trade.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- I need you to open this door, please.- No way!
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Awkward and uncooperative,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42the team have already had to force entry to arrest him.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Hello there. - But just three weeks later,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52the Neighbourhood Team need to bring him in yet again.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55We're just about to go and arrest Jonathan Eden for again
0:18:55 > 0:18:59breaching his ASBO, whereby he was seen at about 10:30 in the morning
0:18:59 > 0:19:02drinking from a can of special brew lager.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04We're going to go to his home address.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Hopefully he's going to be in, we're going to effect the arrest
0:19:07 > 0:19:10and bring him back to the police station to be dealt with.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Because he's a heavy drinker,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14dealing with Jonathan can be a lottery.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Jonathan, I need to speak to you. It's Wayne Hughes from the police.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20The front door is still bearing the scars from the last time
0:19:20 > 0:19:23the Neighbourhood Team were here, and if Jonathan doesn't open up,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25then the door could be in for another battering.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Either you open the door up,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- or we put it through. - This is an illegal eviction.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32We're not evicting you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Right, thank you. - This is an illegal eviction.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Jonathan, can I just come in and have a word, please, as opposed to
0:19:38 > 0:19:40talking to you on your doorstep?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Right, you know who I am, don't you? - Yes.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Basically, I'm arresting you now at 10:25...
0:19:45 > 0:19:46No, you can't!
0:19:46 > 0:19:49..for breaching your ASBO on the 19th of May...
0:19:49 > 0:19:50No, you cannot!
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- ..at 10.25am. - I did not breach my ASBO.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55You were seen by a colleague of mine,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57just listen to what I have to say.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00You were seen by a colleague of mine drinking in Baker Street from a can.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02HE READS HIM HIS RIGHTS
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Despite protesting his innocence, Jonathan is under arrest.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12And he isn't particularly pleased about it.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15This is absolutely ludicrous!
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I'm just going to pop you in the back of the van, Jonathan, yeah?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22This is absolutely impossible!
0:20:22 > 0:20:26As they arrive at the station, he still can't believe his predicament.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- BLEEP- Nora!
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Jonathan is believed to have been drinking this morning
0:20:33 > 0:20:36and it isn't long before Wayne and the desk sergeant
0:20:36 > 0:20:38are treated to a torrent of abuse.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Jonathan's been seen drinking by a colleague in Baker Street
0:20:41 > 0:20:43at about 10:25am on the 19th of May.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48What's the date today, then?
0:20:48 > 0:20:5129th, so about ten days later.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- BLEEP- me!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55..a prompt and effective investigation...
0:20:55 > 0:20:57You twits!
0:20:57 > 0:20:59..and bring him before the next available court.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- I can sue the- BLEEP - off you for this!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I'll have the whole lot of you sacked for this!
0:21:07 > 0:21:10As you can see, Jonathan is belligerent.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12He's quite abusive and that's the way
0:21:12 > 0:21:16he presents to the public whilst he's on the streets of Weston.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Right, I need to search your pockets, then, can I do that?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Well, if you can find a pocket, you can search it!
0:21:22 > 0:21:23There's one there, look.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Plonkers!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Have you got any back pockets?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- You- BLEEP- plonkers!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Can I get to your back pocket, please?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- I haven't got any... This is a prison- BLEEP!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40They don't have pockets in them!
0:21:40 > 0:21:42OK. There's no need to raise your voice at me, is there?
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Jonathan's outbursts are sticks and stones to the officers.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48He's been warned on numerous occasions that it is illegal
0:21:48 > 0:21:52for him to drink in public, yet he continues to break his ASBO.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56You just want to feel my backside, you cretins!
0:21:56 > 0:22:00And as he's taken to the cells, Jonathan is still seething.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03You will pay for this, don't you worry!
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Jonathan is belligerent, he is abusive this morning.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11He has been drinking, albeit he's not as drunk as he normally is.
0:22:11 > 0:22:18But his outbursts are quite distressing to the public
0:22:18 > 0:22:22and obviously by taking him off the streets, then the public
0:22:22 > 0:22:26aren't going to be presented with Jonathan in that state.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Jonathan was taken straight to the court from the cells
0:22:28 > 0:22:31at Weston-Super-Mare police station.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34He was sent home and later fined.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37We will continue to monitor Jonathan over the next weeks
0:22:37 > 0:22:42and months and again if he breaches his Anti Social Behaviour then
0:22:42 > 0:22:46he will be arrested and put before the court.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Sure enough, Jonathan continued to break his ASBO
0:22:48 > 0:22:51and received several more fines.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53But his behaviour eventually caught up with him
0:22:53 > 0:22:57when he was arrested for threatening members of the public with a knife.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01He pleaded guilty, but this time the magistrates weren't so lenient
0:23:01 > 0:23:04and Jonathan was sentenced to 18 weeks behind bars.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10People don't just turn to the police
0:23:10 > 0:23:13when their lives have been affected by crime.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Every day, the officers are called out
0:23:15 > 0:23:17to all manner of extraordinary situations.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19But no matter how unusual the job,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22you can always rely on the Neighbourhood Team
0:23:22 > 0:23:25to keep their cool and come up with a solution.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33In Bath, PC Andy Abbot is on a blue light run to a rather unusual call.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35We're going to an address in Bath East.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38There's been a report of a vehicle that's crashed into a house.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40That's all the information we've got at the moment.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41As they arrive at the scene,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44there isn't any danger of them getting the wrong address
0:23:44 > 0:23:47as neatly parked against the front wall of one of the houses
0:23:47 > 0:23:50is a silver Mercedes.
0:23:50 > 0:23:51It's unbelievable.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Who's the resident that lives here?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55With no sign of any casualties,
0:23:55 > 0:24:00Andy finds the house owner, parish councillor, Margaret Johns.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02She's lived here for almost 60 years.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- You weren't actually here when it happened?- No, I was at an art class.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I've just been told and I'm completely on my own,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- how am I going to cope with this? - I was here when it happened.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Did you see what happened?- Yeah. - Let's get some details from you.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Let me see if I can get hold of my son.- We'll get something sorted.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I'm sure we'll be able to move the car for you.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Margaret was at her weekly art class
0:24:21 > 0:24:24when she received a call from her friend to say what had happened.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29Amazingly, it looks as though her house is relatively unscathed.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32There's no major cracks that I can see in the wall.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Obviously, it will be for an engineer to come and have a look,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37but it doesn't look to be too bad.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40I think the plant pot has taken the brunt of it
0:24:40 > 0:24:42and there's now flowers and soil everywhere.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45It's quite incredible, really, that it's not done more damage,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47or certainly visible damage than it has.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Margaret's next-door neighbour raised the alarm
0:24:49 > 0:24:53when she felt the impact of the car as it collided with the house.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56All I heard was the noise of it coming down the bank.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I just went in to have some dinner,
0:24:58 > 0:25:00sat down and then I just heard this massive noise
0:25:00 > 0:25:02and then I came out and seen the car.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Remarkably, the car's owner wasn't even in the Mercedes
0:25:07 > 0:25:10when it careered into Margaret's house.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12He'd been trying to push it up hill!
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I broke down and it was blocking the road
0:25:15 > 0:25:21so I tried to push it so that cars could get through
0:25:21 > 0:25:26and, as I went round to pull the handbrake up,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29it just rolled past me, up my foot,
0:25:29 > 0:25:33hit the verge and I thought it'd stop, but it didn't, it crept over
0:25:33 > 0:25:36and, obviously, when it got to that bank, it picked up real speed
0:25:36 > 0:25:38and I couldn't stop it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42This man's learnt the hard way that trying to push a car uphill
0:25:42 > 0:25:44is never a good idea.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Had Margaret been working in her garden,
0:25:46 > 0:25:50the situation could have been a whole lot worse.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55Thankfully, the only casualties were Margaret's hedge and some shrubs.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58The new plants that I had put in are still there.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01It's awful, the first thing...
0:26:01 > 0:26:04I didn't even think about anyone else, I just thought, my garden!
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Of course, you keep looking at it and you think,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10"Well, he could have gone in the front door," couldn't he?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12As luck would have it, the owner of the car
0:26:12 > 0:26:15could be the perfect man to put right the situation.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I could come and help to repair your garden, if you like,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20because I'm a landscape builder.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- I'll get the insurance.- OK.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Could have been a lot worse, though.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Yeah, thank God you weren't at home, I guess.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Yeah, I'm so sorry.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31The car needs to be towed back up the bank,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34which will make even more of a mess,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36so Margaret has called in her grandson Jake
0:26:36 > 0:26:39to rescue some of her favourite plants.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I've just removed a few of the shrubs my nan wanted to keep.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46There's not a lot to save, really, cos a lot of it's been flattened,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49but just a couple of bits I've got up and we've put in a bucket
0:26:49 > 0:26:50so that we can replant them later, really.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54With the shrubs out of harm's way
0:26:54 > 0:26:57and a pair of recovery trucks at the ready,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Andy can turn his attention to getting the car back up on the road
0:27:00 > 0:27:02where it belongs.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05With everyone at a safe distance
0:27:06 > 0:27:09and two lines attached to the Mercedes for safety,
0:27:09 > 0:27:13it's time to remove the oversized and unwelcome garden ornament.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24As the Mercedes is pulled back up the bank,
0:27:24 > 0:27:28it soon becomes clear that it hasn't emerged from this as unscathed
0:27:28 > 0:27:29as Margaret's house.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31CRUNCHING
0:27:39 > 0:27:41There is obviously damage to the plants and a load of soil
0:27:41 > 0:27:44spread all over the wall where the plant pot was smashed,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46but actually it's better than we expected.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54They've managed to take the car out successfully
0:27:54 > 0:27:55without causing too much damage.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01As no-one was hurt and it was just an unfortunate accident,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05no action was taken against the driver of the Mercedes,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08leaving the insurance company to pick up the pieces.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15If you need to contact your Neighbourhood Team,
0:28:15 > 0:28:19then dial the police non-emergency phone number, 101.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20See you next time.
