0:00:02 > 0:00:06Neighbourhood policing has come a long way since the days of Dixon of Dock Green.

0:00:06 > 0:00:07Good evening, all.

0:00:07 > 0:00:10From inner-city estates to suburbia,

0:00:12 > 0:00:15this new generation of community police officers

0:00:15 > 0:00:17that are on the frontline.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20- What are you doing there?- Police!

0:00:20 > 0:00:24Their aim is to develop a stronger bond with the community...

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Have you had any problems then over the last week?

0:00:26 > 0:00:29..crack down on the crimes taking place on their doorstep...

0:00:29 > 0:00:33- Have you been drinking tonight?- No. - Why's your speech slurred then?

0:00:33 > 0:00:35..formulate fast action plans to take down the criminals...

0:00:35 > 0:00:37You have to be careful.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40SHOUTS: Who do you think you ARE?!

0:00:42 > 0:00:44In this new series of Neighbourhood Blues,

0:00:44 > 0:00:47we go to the Humberside police region

0:00:47 > 0:00:51and get exclusive access to 24 teams of neighbourhood police officers...

0:00:53 > 0:00:54You're under arrest, mate.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57..as they tackle the problems blighting local people...

0:00:57 > 0:01:01You're now under arrest on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled drug.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06..and rise to the challenge of making the streets a safer place.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31Coming up...

0:01:32 > 0:01:36the team go after a man suspected of dealing drugs from his living room.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39SHOUTS: Who do you think you ARE?!

0:01:39 > 0:01:40BLEEP!

0:01:41 > 0:01:46Could a local family be the unwitting owner of a death-row dog?

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Either way, the dog is going to be coming with us today.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53And the police take action against troublesome teens.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Calm down!- BLEEP!- Calm down!

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Neighbourhood policing has fast become a feature of police forces across the country.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09It's supposed to see police taking on people's concerns about crime

0:02:09 > 0:02:11and throwing the book at the criminals.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14But as crime rates are always threatening to rise,

0:02:14 > 0:02:18the challenges just keep getting greater.

0:02:19 > 0:02:25For decades, the Humberside police area had one of the highest crime rates in the UK.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28But in recent years, things have improved dramatically,

0:02:28 > 0:02:32in no small part due to one of biggest community policing initiatives

0:02:32 > 0:02:34to be found in the country.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36You're under arrest for a shop theft.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39But the fight against crime is an ongoing battle

0:02:39 > 0:02:43and one which requires the constant support of the public.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46This means the police need to be seen and heard.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Because we work on our little patches,

0:02:48 > 0:02:52we become familiar with the area and the people who live in it

0:02:52 > 0:02:54and they know who their local officer is, as well.

0:02:54 > 0:02:59Another way teams are doing this is by holding regular beat meetings,

0:02:59 > 0:03:03where residents can meet their local police officer face to face.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06I think Neighbourhood Watch is a very positive thing

0:03:06 > 0:03:09that people can do to help themselves.

0:03:09 > 0:03:15And with the help of their local council and their local police,

0:03:15 > 0:03:18I think if more people got involved,

0:03:18 > 0:03:21then the crime rate would be brought down.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25For the period of the 1st January to the 27th...

0:03:25 > 0:03:30Tonight, PC Dave Bullock is hosting a neighbourhood meeting

0:03:30 > 0:03:32for the locals living on his patch.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36It's a full house and people have plenty to say.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Is it part of the flats or is it part of the road outside?

0:03:39 > 0:03:43I had quite a lot of reports from our residents

0:03:43 > 0:03:47- of constant drug dealing in the alleyway between- BLEEP- and the Co-op.

0:03:47 > 0:03:52At the end of the meeting, one woman comes forward to voice a worry.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56There's a lot of new faces that I've seen going in and out there.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Why do you think that is?- What do you mean? I've seen them going in.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04- Do you think it's dealing at the address or just these people using? - I think they're dealing there.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Neighbourhood teams in Hull get up to a dozen calls a week

0:04:07 > 0:04:10from similarly concerned residents

0:04:10 > 0:04:12and it's a concern that rings true across the country.

0:04:12 > 0:04:17Yeah, if I knew someone was growing drugs next door to me, I certainly wouldn't be too happy.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Not sure whether I would grass them up to the police,

0:04:21 > 0:04:25but I would be happy for the police to investigate and put a stop to it, definitely.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Not something I want to live next door to.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32..In the back there, for an overview.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Over in Grimsby, several calls from residents on the same street

0:04:36 > 0:04:38have sent the team into action.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41..Carrying knives before. We've had dealings with him.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45So that information is accurate, so there is potential for violence.

0:04:45 > 0:04:50More worrying for the team is the news that there are also children living at the property.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55The combination of this information means that Martin Coffey is leaving nothing to chance

0:04:55 > 0:05:00and wants a fast entry and lockdown of the location and the children protected as a priority.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Part of this job has got to be about safeguarding the children,

0:05:03 > 0:05:08if there's drug dealing going on, so let's bear that in mind when we're in there.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13The team suits up in their stab-proof body armour

0:05:13 > 0:05:17and are also prepared to pack another piece of kit - a taser,

0:05:17 > 0:05:20just in case the suspect turns violent.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23ELECTRONIC CLICKING

0:05:24 > 0:05:26It's just a precaution, really.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31There is some intelligence regarding certain individuals that frequent that address

0:05:31 > 0:05:36who we've had previous dealings with and who've been violent in the past. So, obviously, it's a precaution.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38If we've got to have 'em, we'll need 'em!

0:05:38 > 0:05:42All kitted up, Sergeant Coffey musters his men.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50And the unit head to the suspected dealing den.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57The van parks up just outside the house.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59On arriving at the location,

0:05:59 > 0:06:04carrying all the tools needed to force entry, the team hot-foot it to the property.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07The dead-locking door isn't going to give way easily,

0:06:07 > 0:06:11so the unit unleash their full force against it to gain entry.

0:06:11 > 0:06:12SMASH!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15SHOUTING

0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Oi! What are you doing there?- Police!

0:06:22 > 0:06:25As the door gives, the team rush in,

0:06:25 > 0:06:29sweeping the house to isolate the suspect and remove any children to safety.

0:06:29 > 0:06:34A woman is quickly located upstairs looking after the children.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37- If you'd said it was you, I'd have let you in, mate!- BLEEP!

0:06:37 > 0:06:40The male suspect is apprehended in the front room.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44He's more concerned about his door being smashed down, than the heavy police presence.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48- I watch telly enough, man! You don't just beat the door down! - Sit down!- I don't want to sit down.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I'm going to stand up. - You knew the police were here.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Stop walking about.- I'll stand in the middle of the room.- No...

0:06:55 > 0:06:57The officers try to calm the man down,

0:06:57 > 0:07:01but his agitated state means they are left with no option

0:07:01 > 0:07:04but to arrest him and take him into custody for questioning.

0:07:04 > 0:07:09- ..Has a written agreement to say that you shouldn't even be here.- BLEEP!

0:07:11 > 0:07:12BLEEP! BLEEP!

0:07:12 > 0:07:15I love you, yeah?

0:07:15 > 0:07:17As the man is led out of the house,

0:07:17 > 0:07:22another man is also arrested in the garden.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25But the main suspect continues to behave aggressively,

0:07:25 > 0:07:30refusing to be led away quietly to the point where officers have to physically restrain him.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Eh, don't start! - SHOUTS: Who do you think you ARE?!

0:07:33 > 0:07:35- BLEEP!- Eh!

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Pack that in now! Stop it! - Keep yourself calm!

0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Are we understood?- Look, calm it!

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Just cos we're outside in front of your neighbours, don't start acting the big man.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Oi!- BLEEP!- Calm down. Just calm down.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Come to the van, walk with us, otherwise we'll have to carry you.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56The other man arrested in the garden also begins to put up a fight,

0:07:56 > 0:07:59meaning he, too, has to be restrained by force.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Leave that- BLEEP! BLEEP!- Aaagh!

0:08:02 > 0:08:07As the main suspect continues to protest and level accusations at the police,

0:08:07 > 0:08:12an on-the-spot search reveals he is carrying close to £1,000 in cash

0:08:12 > 0:08:14stuffed into his socks and pants...

0:08:14 > 0:08:17- There you go!- He's lying! They put drugs in the house...

0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Where's this money from? - ..Last time I got raided!

0:08:19 > 0:08:21My money!

0:08:21 > 0:08:24..Reinforcing suspicions that he may be dealing drugs.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Are you working at the minute? - I don't need to work, mate.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30- More money!- I earn my money my own ways, all right?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33After an initial struggle, the suspect and the other man

0:08:33 > 0:08:36are finally restrained and locked in the van.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41They will be taken to the local custody suite in order for a full strip search to be carried out,

0:08:41 > 0:08:44after which they will be formally questioned.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Find out later if Buster, the force's champion sniffer dog,

0:08:51 > 0:08:56can use his nose to track down the suspected dealer's illegal stash.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03BARKING

0:09:03 > 0:09:06There are over 8 million dogs in the UK.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10Whilst most are much-loved family pets,

0:09:10 > 0:09:12a select few are a danger to the public.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16Last year, there were over 5,000 attacks by such dogs

0:09:16 > 0:09:19that saw the victims sent to hospital.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21BARKING

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Sometimes I do see a lot of people, individually or in groups,

0:09:29 > 0:09:33carrying dogs because they think a lot of people are scared of dogs.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36They seem to used as vanity pets

0:09:36 > 0:09:40for the purposes of getting angry and intimidating other people.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43But they definitely do use dogs these days as a weapon, definitely.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Many of these attacks were by so-called "dangerous dogs",

0:09:48 > 0:09:52classified under schedule one of the Dangerous Dogs Act.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54These animals include pit bulls.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Ownership of such a breed can lead to a prosecution of the owners

0:09:58 > 0:10:00and the destruction of the dog.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05Today...

0:10:05 > 0:10:08over at Pearson Park Police Station, neighbour police officer

0:10:08 > 0:10:13Gareth Walker is responding to a call from a member of the public,

0:10:13 > 0:10:16who has been bitten by an animal she thinks may be a dangerous dog.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Do we know where the dog's kept within the house?

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Just at the back, in a rear compound...

0:10:20 > 0:10:26The Hull city centre neighbourhood team dealt with over 60 dangerous dog cases last year

0:10:26 > 0:10:28and Gareth knows that dealing with these animals

0:10:28 > 0:10:31comes with its own unique set of challenges.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- I've arranged with the designated kennels...- Right.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39- They will attend and pick it up in an unmarked vehicle.- Right. OK.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Because the animal is feared to be a schedule one dangerous dog,

0:10:43 > 0:10:47the police have no choice but to go to the address and remove it.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51It will be examined at the local pound by an expert.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56If the dog is found to be a banned breed,

0:10:56 > 0:11:01two options exist for the owner - to agree to its immediate humane destruction,

0:11:01 > 0:11:05or to plea the animal's case in court.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Hiya.- Hello there.

0:11:07 > 0:11:13I need to speak to you in relation to your dog that's barking away in the background. Can I come in?

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Yeah, but what about the dog? It will go mad that you're all coming in.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Is the dog in a compound in the back? Is it secure?

0:11:19 > 0:11:21- No. I'll get my partner to go in the back with him.- OK.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Gareth and the team wait patiently

0:11:24 > 0:11:28whilst the dog is locked in the garden.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32Once inside, the officers explain the reason for their visit.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46Gareth goes on to break the news that Bailey must now be taken to the pound,

0:11:46 > 0:11:50so he can be examined to determine if he's a banned breed.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02Dealing with dangerous dogs comes with a high risk of attack

0:12:02 > 0:12:05and the neighbourhood team take no chances.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07This is what we call a dog shield.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11The front of it has some equipment which delivers a shock to the dog.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15The dog comes towards the officer, presents the shield.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19The dog, generally - its nose touches the shield, give it a quick burst,

0:12:19 > 0:12:22and the dog, generally, doesn't want to play any more.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26The capture shield works by creating a barrier

0:12:26 > 0:12:28between the police officer and the animal.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32If, whilst attempting to put a leash around the dog, the animal attacks,

0:12:32 > 0:12:35a small electric shock emitted by the shield

0:12:35 > 0:12:40will temporarily stun the dog and enable the police officer to securely leash him.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43In Bailey's case, the officers hope the shield won't be required.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54As preparations are made to remove him,

0:12:54 > 0:12:58Bailey's owner makes a final, desperate attempt to keep him at home.

0:12:58 > 0:13:03- I've seen loads of them about. - There are lots, I'll grant you that.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06- I know you're upset, because he's a family pet.- I love him so much!

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Please! He's everything to me! Please!

0:13:09 > 0:13:10SHE SOBS

0:13:11 > 0:13:14With the situation explained once more,

0:13:14 > 0:13:17his owner eventually relents, allowing her partner

0:13:17 > 0:13:19to lead Bailey to the dog pound van.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21BAILEY BARKS

0:13:21 > 0:13:25With all the attention focused on him, Bailey is clearly distressed

0:13:25 > 0:13:28and great care is taken to ensure he is put into the van

0:13:28 > 0:13:31without any harm coming to him or anyone else.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36If Bailey is a dangerous dog, his outlook is bleak.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39He will either need to be put to sleep,

0:13:39 > 0:13:42or his owners will have to ask a judge to spare his life.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46The dog handler now takes Bailey to the kennels,

0:13:46 > 0:13:50where we will find out later if an expert thinks he is a dangerous dog.

0:13:50 > 0:13:54I'll ring you tomorrow. Then, any time after that, you can ring me to discuss what's going on.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Is that all right?- Yeah, fine.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00All this now means an anxious wait for his owners.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Bad behaviour caused by kids on street corners

0:14:08 > 0:14:11is an age-old problem for the police.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14But in recent years, a new menace has surfaced.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Last year, the police received over 1,000 complaints

0:14:17 > 0:14:20about bullying and harassment on social networking sites.

0:14:20 > 0:14:25You see a lot of things on Facebook, like people commenting on photos,

0:14:25 > 0:14:29or just saying slightly nasty things that are a little untoward,

0:14:29 > 0:14:34or creating an argument that you wouldn't normally have if it wasn't on the internet.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37I think people have to be careful what they put online.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41It's a public forum and people have easy access to that information.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45People think that they can just hide behind a screen or a keyboard.

0:14:45 > 0:14:50But now it's becoming more serious, especially with things like Twitter.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54When it was first introduced, people thought they could say what they want to say.

0:14:54 > 0:14:59But now people are going to prison for that, people are being made more aware

0:14:59 > 0:15:02that whatever they say on those public forums

0:15:02 > 0:15:06is, you know, legally permissible in court.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08So, it's, erm...

0:15:08 > 0:15:11It's a very real threat out there.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14This type of cyber-crime is on the rise

0:15:14 > 0:15:18and the neighbourhood team have been quick to pick up on it.

0:15:18 > 0:15:23We're going to see a gentleman who's reported problems on Facebook.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Neighbourhood officer Matt Lingrick has just received a call

0:15:26 > 0:15:29from the father of a teenage girl.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Hi.- BLEEP!- Doing all right? - Come on in.- Let's come in.

0:15:40 > 0:15:44A fake social networking account has been set up in her name, using her pictures.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48- It logged on as her here.- Right. - And that's what it put.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- And then started arguing...- And her friends are sticking up for- BLEEP!

0:15:51 > 0:15:54So technically this is still your profile, isn't it?

0:15:54 > 0:15:56Yeah, but I've got a new one.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00The family think that the culprit may be the girl's ex-boyfriend,

0:16:00 > 0:16:04who has been using the account to post abusive messages to friends and family.

0:16:04 > 0:16:08- That's probably the most damning bit that we've got.- Yeah.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11- That's him on his Facebook with his name on.- Mm-hm.

0:16:11 > 0:16:16That's his status - "Hacking your ex and changing her Facebook name to 'I touch real lots of kids'".

0:16:16 > 0:16:21The neighbourhood teams have seen a tenfold increase in the past two years in this type of complaint.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24The internet is a difficult sphere to police,

0:16:24 > 0:16:29but fast action against the perpetrators can often stop a problem spinning out of control.

0:16:29 > 0:16:34Because where does it stop when you're dealing with somebody with this mentality?

0:16:34 > 0:16:37The haven't got the intelligence sometimes

0:16:37 > 0:16:40to be able to knock it off when they know they should, so...

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Matt has dealt with similar cases before,

0:16:42 > 0:16:47but knows that feuds with teenagers usually take a different shape to those between adults.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51But I'll do the usual. I'll do the checks and keep you fully updated.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55I'll contact you on your mobile, if that's OK, and we'll go from there.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Right, I'll keep- BLEEP- posted then. - All right, cheers.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Cheers for now. Thanks.- See you later.

0:17:00 > 0:17:05Having spoken with the victim, the team head over to the ex-boyfriend's house.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Come in.- Thank you. Is he in?

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Cyber-stalking and harassment is a growing crime

0:17:10 > 0:17:13and one the neighbourhood team take very seriously.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16I'm not going to mince my words because it's quite serious

0:17:16 > 0:17:20and, at the end of the day, this is causing a lot of distress to people.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24- What do you know about...? Why is that on there?- I don't know.

0:17:24 > 0:17:29- You don't know?- Admittedly, I did it.- You did that?- Yeah.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Being honest. - I appreciate your honesty.- Yeah.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35In the face of overwhelming evidence against him,

0:17:35 > 0:17:38the boy confesses to committing the offence straight away.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41After a firm talking to from Matt,

0:17:41 > 0:17:44the boy deactivates the fake social networking page.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47What I want you to do, if you sign there, next to that star...

0:17:47 > 0:17:51In a bid to draw a line under the matter, the boy signs a statement

0:17:51 > 0:17:57promising not to behave in such a way again and to leave his ex-girlfriend alone.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00He is also left with a warning from Matt ringing in his ears.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04Please take my words of advice on board because...

0:18:04 > 0:18:08it's caused a lot of problems that you may not be aware of.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11It's been another good result for the neighbourhood team...

0:18:11 > 0:18:12- Bye-bye.- See ya!

0:18:12 > 0:18:15..In their bid to kerb troublesome teens.

0:18:17 > 0:18:21The social networking faker has been paid a follow-up visit by the team

0:18:21 > 0:18:26and has continued to refrain from posting offensive material on social networking sites.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Dangerous dog attacks are on the rise,

0:18:34 > 0:18:38with somebody killed every year by a banned animal.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42Often these dogs are trained to attack other animals and people

0:18:42 > 0:18:45with ferocious and deadly force.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50The police have received a report from a member of the public,

0:18:50 > 0:18:54who believes they were bitten by a banned breed.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57PC Gareth Walker is investigating this serious complaint.

0:18:57 > 0:19:02On visiting the house, the dog Bailey was removed to a local kennels,

0:19:02 > 0:19:08where he now awaits examination by a police officer with experience of classifying dangerous dogs.

0:19:09 > 0:19:15Gareth is now on his way to the pound to find out what the future holds for Bailey and his owners.

0:19:15 > 0:19:20We're going up to the police kennels in relation to the dog that we seized yesterday

0:19:20 > 0:19:22as a possible schedule one dog.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25We're meeting an officer there from North Yorkshire police,

0:19:25 > 0:19:29who's a dog legislation officer for their force, who can identify the dog,

0:19:29 > 0:19:32hopefully, one way or the other.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36One arriving at the kennels, Gareth is greeted by PC Mick Atkinson,

0:19:36 > 0:19:39an expert in dangerous dogs.

0:19:40 > 0:19:44In order to inspect Bailey, Mick gets out a long leash,

0:19:44 > 0:19:47but, immediately, the dog goes on the attack.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51BARKING

0:19:52 > 0:19:57It's going to take all of Mick's 15 years of experience dealing with dangerous dogs

0:19:57 > 0:20:01to try and calm him down.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Sausage or fingers.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Good boy!

0:20:06 > 0:20:08No, no, no.

0:20:10 > 0:20:15But despite Mick's best efforts, Bailey remains hostile

0:20:15 > 0:20:17to any kind of approach.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Whilst a visual identification of a dangerous dog is sufficient...

0:20:24 > 0:20:26BARKING

0:20:26 > 0:20:31Mick would like to measure Bailey and examine more closely some of his characteristics.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33BARKING

0:20:33 > 0:20:36Need to be able to get hold of him and put a tape measure on to him

0:20:36 > 0:20:39and measure him up - that's what we've got to do to identify him.

0:20:39 > 0:20:44There's no point in putting him under undue stress to get him out,

0:20:44 > 0:20:47when somebody's only going to get hurt from him.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51You can see he's a pit bull-type. I'm not prepared to put him under any more stress than he is already.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55He's frightened. His tail's under his legs. You go near him, he's snarling.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58If you go into him, someone's going to get hurt and it's not worth it.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00BARKING

0:21:00 > 0:21:05- You're quite happy to say he is? - It is, yeah, pit bull. Pit bull-type.- Yeah.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Being branded a dangerous dog,

0:21:08 > 0:21:11is not good news for Bailey, or his owners.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15Only two options exist now - his owners agree he be put to sleep,

0:21:15 > 0:21:19or they take the case to court for a judge to determine the outcome.

0:21:24 > 0:21:25Come on!

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Still to come...

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Could it be that Bailey's dog days are done?

0:21:31 > 0:21:32BARKING

0:21:32 > 0:21:34I want a fag!

0:21:34 > 0:21:36And the search of the suspected drug dealer's house

0:21:36 > 0:21:40sees the neighbourhood team find the hard stuff.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42I would suggest it's probably crack cocaine.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Nobody wants a drug dealer living on their street,

0:21:50 > 0:21:52but an even bigger concern for most people

0:21:52 > 0:21:57relates to troublesome teenagers creating a menace.

0:21:57 > 0:22:02The neighbourhood teams are not afraid to get tough against antisocial youths,

0:22:02 > 0:22:05because it's a problem that upsets people everywhere.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08The crime in my particular area is definitely young people, yes.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12From my personal experience, it's gangs of sort of feral children

0:22:12 > 0:22:14roaming the streets and getting up to no good.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Throwing stones at windows and that sort of thing.

0:22:17 > 0:22:22And I've seen children with bottles of vodka on the street in daytime, just after school, as well.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25So quite worrying really.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28There are actually groups of youths on the streets,

0:22:28 > 0:22:32ranging from, can be ten, 15.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35There has been house attacks on my estate, yeah.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Like bricks thrown through windows.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40Bottles thrown at doors, doors kicked in.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44ASBO's are still used when a youngster repeatedly

0:22:44 > 0:22:47creates a menace in a public place.

0:22:47 > 0:22:51If an ASBO is breached, it can lead to arrest and a criminal record.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Today, PC Rich Watson and Sergeant Mark Peasegood

0:22:56 > 0:22:58are on their way to the home of a 15-year-old boy.

0:22:58 > 0:23:03He has an ASBO for continued troublemaking at a local library,

0:23:03 > 0:23:07and he's breached it, so they are off to arrest him.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10He's going to the library, erm...

0:23:10 > 0:23:14and he's, basically, being abusive to members of staff there.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17They've provided us with a statement to that effect as evidence.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19So we're going to go and arrest him now

0:23:19 > 0:23:22and we'll have him interviewed this afternoon.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Now then, mate, you all?- BLEEP.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29The police officers enter the boy's house

0:23:29 > 0:23:33and the full seriousness of how much trouble he is in hits home.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Right...- BLEEP! - You've breached your ASBO.

0:23:36 > 0:23:42- No, he hasn't!- No, I haven't! You listen to this...- This is what I'm going to say to you...

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Despite the boy and his mum being in denial,

0:23:45 > 0:23:48the police are not softening their stance.

0:23:48 > 0:23:49No, he hasn't!

0:23:49 > 0:23:52They have ample evidence to prove he has breached the ASBO

0:23:52 > 0:23:57and he now has to be arrested and taken into custody for continuing to offend.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01- Calm down!- BLEEP!- Calm down! - No, he hasn't breached his ASBO!

0:24:01 > 0:24:03- Calm down! - Where's the breach then?

0:24:03 > 0:24:07- Breached it at the library on the 17th January.- Calm down.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12Sit in the middle.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21The teenage boy is now under arrest and is taken to the station.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23- Shoes off, please.- Bear with me.

0:24:24 > 0:24:30There, he is fingerprinted, before being bailed whilst he awaits a court date.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32It's a disappointing day for all concerned,

0:24:32 > 0:24:35as the boy can now be looking at a criminal record

0:24:35 > 0:24:39and the extensive efforts of the neighbourhood team were not enough

0:24:39 > 0:24:42to curb his bad behaviour.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44You listen to this...

0:24:44 > 0:24:49Following his court hearing, the young lad was found guilty of breaching his ASBO.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56Tearaway teens are something most families have to deal with at some time or another.

0:24:56 > 0:25:01But sometimes the problems can be too great for parents to control on their own at home,

0:25:01 > 0:25:05as their children's aggressive and antisocial behaviour escalates,

0:25:05 > 0:25:10causing a problem that a mere telling off or curfew won't solve.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13Over in Cleethorpes, the team have been working closely

0:25:13 > 0:25:18with families who have teenagers with anger-management issues.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22PCSO Richard Moore is about to pay a follow-up visit

0:25:22 > 0:25:23to a family who have been having

0:25:23 > 0:25:29ongoing problems with a teenage son, who has been violent and abusive to his parents.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32The boy's bad behaviour has created tensions at home.

0:25:32 > 0:25:37..You can work out the ones that you want to do in the short term...

0:25:37 > 0:25:41Well, it all started about a year ago.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45I just like saw red and then every time Mum and Dad said, "No,"

0:25:45 > 0:25:48I saw red and was just going to go for the target.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52I used to bang 'em on the walls

0:25:52 > 0:25:54and hit 'em in the face.

0:25:54 > 0:25:58Causing a split in the family and pushing Mum to breaking point.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01In the end, I rung social services and said, "Look, I need help!"

0:26:01 > 0:26:07Social services said, "Every time he attacks you, you need to ring the police."

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Obviously, she'd seen all me bruises and stuff what Jack had done.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13And that's how Richard got involved with us.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Richard's role on behalf of the neighbourhood team

0:26:16 > 0:26:19is to try and mediate between the boy and his parents,

0:26:19 > 0:26:22showing him that his actions are bordering on being criminal.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26But there is help and support there to put him back on the right track.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Have you had any problems then over the last week?- Er...

0:26:29 > 0:26:32What's your behaviour and your aggression been like?

0:26:32 > 0:26:36I think we've had two arguments, but not like physical.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38OK. What were the arguments about?

0:26:38 > 0:26:43One of them was tonight, cos I was going to go down to Kent Street to play football,

0:26:43 > 0:26:47but me Mum and Dad said no, so I said, "All right then," and went back out.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50No, you didn't say, "All right then."

0:26:50 > 0:26:55He turned round and said, "I want to go to Kent Street." And we said, "No, you're not going."

0:26:55 > 0:27:01Obviously, cos of the weather. Go upstairs, play on your Play Stations, laptops, whatever.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05He turned round and went, "Why don't you just clear off and go back to Albert Place?"

0:27:05 > 0:27:08- To Paul.- Right.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Well, firstly, well done for not throwing any punches.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15But, at the end of the day, Jack, what Mum and Dad says is what goes.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17You've got to understand that.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20- And what they're telling you to do, you've got to do it.- Yeah.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23I've got some charts. What I want you to do is,

0:27:23 > 0:27:25- write the date down.- Yeah.

0:27:25 > 0:27:30I've put "Mum and Dad issues". If you've got an issue with the way Mum and Dad's treat you,

0:27:30 > 0:27:32write it down and write what the incident was.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35- That's yours.- Thank you.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Mum and Dad get their own forms to fill in, too,

0:27:37 > 0:27:41a bit like a diary of how things are going at home.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45Mum has already told Ricky that her son's behaviour has been greatly improved

0:27:45 > 0:27:48since the weekly neighbourhood visits began.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Because of this, Ricky has brought with him a certificate

0:27:51 > 0:27:55that congratulates the teenager on the steps forward he has made.

0:27:55 > 0:28:00But Mum and Dad get the final say on whether or not he gets it awarded.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03The question I'll ask Mum and Dad, since my last visit,

0:28:03 > 0:28:07do you think Jack's behaviour's improved enough to merit this certificate?

0:28:07 > 0:28:10All in all, it's not as bad as what he usually is.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13The physical abuse has stopped, Rick.

0:28:13 > 0:28:19And also the banging and smashing of doors and what have you have also stopped.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22- So we are on the right track. - Lovely.- Yes.

0:28:22 > 0:28:26It's a good feeling for the family when the boy gets the certificate.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28- Right, there you go, Jack. - Thank you.

0:28:28 > 0:28:33Dad can see, first hand, the benefits of families developing a close bond

0:28:33 > 0:28:35with their local neighbourhood bobby.

0:28:35 > 0:28:39There's just been a relationship built up between them.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41I'll see you later, Jack. All right?

0:28:41 > 0:28:43And I think the relationship is helping,

0:28:43 > 0:28:47because it had just got out of hand to where, at some stage,

0:28:47 > 0:28:51it would probably have come to physical violence towards Jack from meself.

0:28:51 > 0:28:57Because of the abuse that he was giving to the wife and to me, as well.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59- Bye.- All right, good night. Bye-bye!

0:28:59 > 0:29:03Since the regular support visits, the boy has stayed on the straight and narrow,

0:29:03 > 0:29:06and the family are much happier for it.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16Back over in Hull city centre,

0:29:16 > 0:29:18neighbourhood officer Gareth Walker seized a dog

0:29:18 > 0:29:22the police feared may be banned and a danger to the public.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25After being examined at the local pound,

0:29:25 > 0:29:28the outlook is very bleak for Bailey.

0:29:28 > 0:29:29BARKING

0:29:29 > 0:29:34His owners now face the possibility of being prosecuted for owning a pit bull,

0:29:34 > 0:29:39as well as facing up to the dilemma of whether they will let Bailey be humanely put to sleep,

0:29:39 > 0:29:42or take the case to court.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47We've given the owner a couple of days to get her head together.

0:29:47 > 0:29:52I've come back into the police station and the owners have turned up to see me at the front.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55So, hopefully, we will get an answer one way or the other.

0:29:55 > 0:29:59Just grab a seat. It's not ideal, but... Go in there for me.

0:29:59 > 0:30:03My recommendation would be that there will be no prosecution,

0:30:03 > 0:30:07because it's not in the public interest to prosecute you

0:30:07 > 0:30:10and go through all the costs, court appearances and things like that,

0:30:10 > 0:30:13when Bailey's being put to sleep.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17There's no chance of him breeding, escaping. So there would be no point

0:30:17 > 0:30:19to carry on prosecuting you for that offence.

0:30:19 > 0:30:23If we...agree to this and agree to it being put down now,

0:30:23 > 0:30:27is it possible just to be there when this happens?

0:30:27 > 0:30:32I'll have to ask permission of the vets. They're the people that are officially doing it.

0:30:32 > 0:30:36If you can go and do it, are you looking at signing him over?

0:30:36 > 0:30:38Yeah, we would do in those circumstances, yeah.

0:30:38 > 0:30:42- If you're not allowed to go... - No.- ..then you will go for the prosecution?

0:30:42 > 0:30:43- Yeah.- Right.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47Let me see if I can get the answer for you as quickly as I can.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50- You take a sit and I'll come back. - Right. Thank you.- All right?- Yeah.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54Taking the owners' concerns on board, Gareth contacts the local vet

0:30:54 > 0:30:59to ask if their request to accompany Bailey come be carried out.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Hello there, it's Gareth Walker from Queens Gardens.

0:31:01 > 0:31:06Hello there. We've got a dog that we've seized off somebody

0:31:06 > 0:31:09that's possibly going to get signed over to us euthanasia.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13The couple have come in and said they're willing to sign it over for destruction...

0:31:13 > 0:31:18It's in our kennels at the moment, but one of them wants to be there to witness it,

0:31:18 > 0:31:20to sort of go through the grieving process.

0:31:20 > 0:31:24Would you have a problem with that?

0:31:25 > 0:31:27OK, do you want to come through?

0:31:27 > 0:31:31The owners' anxious wait is over, as Gareth returns with news.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34Right, I've spoken to the vets.

0:31:34 > 0:31:39OK? The vets agreed that, yeah, one of you can be in the room. He doesn't have a problem with that.

0:31:39 > 0:31:44The owners are told that they can be with Bailey at the vets' surgery.

0:31:44 > 0:31:48But the reality of the situation now begins to hit home.

0:31:48 > 0:31:52- ..Four o'clock.- Tonight?- Yeah. - Oh, tonight?!

0:31:52 > 0:31:55SHE SOBS It has to be done, don't it?

0:31:55 > 0:31:58It has to be done. It will only be other nights...

0:31:58 > 0:32:03Despite emotions running high, Gareth still has the difficult task

0:32:03 > 0:32:07of getting the order signed that will allow the vet to put Bailey to sleep.

0:32:07 > 0:32:08OK?

0:32:10 > 0:32:14Just a signature at the end, so I can't add anything else on,

0:32:14 > 0:32:17so you don't think there's anything untoward.

0:32:17 > 0:32:18OK.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23With one of Bailey's owners remaining at home,

0:32:23 > 0:32:27too distraught at the thought of losing her pet,

0:32:27 > 0:32:32the other makes his way to the vet's to meet his dog one last time.

0:32:32 > 0:32:33Aw! All right?

0:32:33 > 0:32:37- BARKING - If you just hold him on the lead.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Aah! Come on!

0:32:42 > 0:32:45The police agree to let Bailey to be taken for one last walk

0:32:45 > 0:32:47to calm him down.

0:32:47 > 0:32:52Gareth stands by, looking to ensure the whole, difficult situation is resolved

0:32:52 > 0:32:55as quietly as possible.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58He's got the dog out of the kennel's van that's turned up.

0:32:58 > 0:33:02He's going to try to oblige by putting a muzzle on the dog

0:33:02 > 0:33:04for our safety and the vets' safety.

0:33:04 > 0:33:07As soon as he's done that, if he is able to do that,

0:33:07 > 0:33:12we'll take the dog through to the vets and they will carry out the procedure that they need to do.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14OK?

0:33:14 > 0:33:17With Bailey successfully muzzled,

0:33:17 > 0:33:19he is led inside the vets' surgery.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25With his dog now put to sleep,

0:33:25 > 0:33:28emotions are too much for his owner to bear.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31HE SOBS

0:33:36 > 0:33:39The affection that people hold for their pets

0:33:39 > 0:33:42has made this a particularly tough case for the neighbourhood team.

0:33:42 > 0:33:46- When it actually comes down to it...- BLEEP!

0:33:46 > 0:33:51- It's over, sir. Thank you very much for your help.- It's all right. - All right, thank you.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54But with dangerous dog attacks on the rise,

0:33:54 > 0:33:58this sad outcome was nonetheless necessary to protect the public

0:33:58 > 0:34:01from any further risk of attack.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Despite owning a dangerous dog,

0:34:08 > 0:34:12the police took the couple's willingness to co-operate into consideration

0:34:12 > 0:34:15and no charges were pressed.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24Dangerous dogs are not something the neighbourhood teams deal with every day,

0:34:24 > 0:34:26but drug dealers are.

0:34:26 > 0:34:32In Humberside, the police are working hard to put the dealers, working from home, in jail.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38Back over in Grimsby, following complaints from local residents,

0:34:38 > 0:34:42the neighbourhood team have launched a raid on the house of a suspected drug dealer.

0:34:42 > 0:34:45Two men have been taken into custody.

0:34:45 > 0:34:49- SHOUTS: Who do you think you are?! - BLEEP!- Eh!

0:34:51 > 0:34:53Aaagh!

0:34:53 > 0:34:56Police are now commencing a systematic search of the property

0:34:56 > 0:35:01to see if their suspicions about it being a dealing den are true.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03But the team must first contend with the woman.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06You stop raiding people's houses!

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Instead of upsetting... Did you see how he...?

0:35:08 > 0:35:14The untidy state of the house means Martin wants his officers to take extra care when searching.

0:35:17 > 0:35:21PCSO Lisa Howie is updated about his concerns

0:35:21 > 0:35:23as the search for illegal drugs continues.

0:35:23 > 0:35:26There's just risks all the way through this house.

0:35:26 > 0:35:30Obviously, it's all on the floor there.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35WOMAN: Aw, I want a fag! I want one!

0:35:35 > 0:35:40The woman, by now, is becoming increasingly agitated.

0:35:40 > 0:35:44The combined effect of a police presence and her partner being in for questioning,

0:35:44 > 0:35:47is making the situation increasingly fraught.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51All attempts to calm her down fail and, ultimately,

0:35:51 > 0:35:53she, too, has to be taken into custody,

0:35:53 > 0:35:57struggling against the police every step of the way.

0:35:57 > 0:36:02We've done some further checks and we've found that the male party shouldn't be at this house.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09The lady signed an agreement that she wouldn't have him at the house.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11And he's been found here residing over night.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14He's been found with quite a large sum of money.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17He's got no means of legitimate income, as far as we know.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20Once we get the staff back, we should be able to get on

0:36:20 > 0:36:22and, hopefully, find some further evidence.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25With the occupants all back at the police station being questioned,

0:36:25 > 0:36:28it's time to send in Buster, the force's sniffer dog,

0:36:28 > 0:36:32to hunt out any drugs that may be stashed in the house.

0:36:32 > 0:36:36His powerful nose sweeps through every room

0:36:36 > 0:36:39and it's not long before he makes his first find.

0:36:39 > 0:36:44What looks like a large wrap of cannabis, alarmingly, in a toy box in the children's bedroom.

0:36:44 > 0:36:49Experience tells Martin that dealers can be very cunning when it comes to hiding their stash.

0:36:49 > 0:36:53We've had everything from hiding it in a tennis ball,

0:36:53 > 0:36:57to hiding it in children's toys, to dolls and ornaments on the wall.

0:36:57 > 0:37:02We have to explore everywhere as every time we find something, they use something different.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05So we have to look in places all the time.

0:37:05 > 0:37:11As the search continues, thousands of pounds in cash is found and bagged as evidence.

0:37:11 > 0:37:15He'll have some explaining to do as to why he's got that amount of money.

0:37:15 > 0:37:19And if it's through his criminal activity or any criminal activity,

0:37:19 > 0:37:22the cash is seized and he doesn't get it back.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25Something else that catches the neighbourhood teams' eye

0:37:25 > 0:37:30is a mobile phone, which dozens of different people are ringing constantly.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33There's about 22 missed calls on this phone.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36If I was to hazard a guess, I'd say that was a dealer's phone, yeah.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39PHONE BUZZES That's the same the person.

0:37:39 > 0:37:44If we keep rejecting it, you'll see how persistent these people can be.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Down in the kitchen, Buster's nose comes up trumps again,

0:37:47 > 0:37:50sniffing out another cash of hidden drugs.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53I would suggest it's probably crack cocaine.

0:37:53 > 0:37:57Once again, drugs have been worryingly concealed inside a child's toy.

0:37:57 > 0:38:01We're looking at these trains and the whole drawer, everything,

0:38:01 > 0:38:05feels as if it's contaminated with a fine white powder.

0:38:05 > 0:38:09And the drawer is crammed with more tools of the drug dealer's trade.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11We've got bits of broken mobile.

0:38:11 > 0:38:16There's a set of digital scales. A sharp Stanley knife blade there.

0:38:16 > 0:38:20And, again, this is all contaminated with white powder.

0:38:20 > 0:38:25I would hope, at the end of the day, that we're going to prove some drug-supplying offences

0:38:25 > 0:38:27and somebody's going to receive a custodial sentence.

0:38:27 > 0:38:32That might go some way to improving the situation for some of the more innocent occupiers in the address.

0:38:32 > 0:38:37By the considerable amount of incriminating evidence uncovered already,

0:38:37 > 0:38:39the search of the house continues.

0:38:39 > 0:38:44Out in the back garden, Lisa makes her own surprising discovery.

0:38:44 > 0:38:49Obviously, malnourished. He seems to have difficulty walking on his back legs.

0:38:49 > 0:38:53I don't know whether it's a disability or due to the condition of the dog.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56Concerned about his poor condition,

0:38:56 > 0:39:00Lisa calls in the RSPCA to take care of the dog.

0:39:00 > 0:39:05Back inside the house, Martin makes a deadly discovery in the kitchen.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07There's no need for a knife like that in Scunthorpe.

0:39:07 > 0:39:11It's part of the culture of these people involved in drug dealing.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14It's either to protect themselves or to intimidate others.

0:39:14 > 0:39:18So we find those kind of things all the time in these kind of properties.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20Not the kind of thing you find in the average family home.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23The man was not charged for possession of a dangerous weapon.

0:39:23 > 0:39:27Outside the RSPCA has arrived to collect the dog,

0:39:27 > 0:39:31which on closer inspection is found to be in extremely poor condition.

0:39:31 > 0:39:35- The neighbours said when we came, "You're not going to leave that dog here, are you?"- Everybody said that.

0:39:35 > 0:39:39Unable to walk, the dog is carried away into the waiting van

0:39:39 > 0:39:42to be taken to the vet for a full examination.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45With all of the evidence bagged,

0:39:45 > 0:39:48the house is secured.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53It's another positive result for the team,

0:39:54 > 0:39:57acting on complaints from residents

0:39:57 > 0:40:00and making the community a safer place.

0:40:00 > 0:40:05The suspected dealer was found guilty of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs

0:40:05 > 0:40:08and given 28 months inside,

0:40:08 > 0:40:13plus an extra month for possession of a Class B drug.

0:40:13 > 0:40:17His friend was convicted of obstructing a police officer during his duties

0:40:17 > 0:40:21and given a 12-month conditional discharge.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23The woman was not charged with any drug offences

0:40:23 > 0:40:28and was released unconditionally from police bail.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Neighbourhood policing offers up some of the greatest variety of work

0:40:36 > 0:40:39any police officer can expect to encounter.

0:40:39 > 0:40:43Experiencing so many different problems means the teams

0:40:43 > 0:40:46have to be prepared for anything that may come their way.

0:40:46 > 0:40:51And, as you'll find out next time, trouble is always just around the corner.

0:40:52 > 0:40:58Coming up next time, an aggrieved shop owner bangs up a couple of burly bailiffs.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01..Deprivation, demoralisation, dehumanisation, innit?

0:41:01 > 0:41:06- It may well be, but, unfortunately, they're there legally, mate. - No, I asked them leave!

0:41:06 > 0:41:09- What can I do?- They've got a warrant. - They don't have to leave.

0:41:09 > 0:41:13The team investigate a man suspected of cultivating cannabis at home.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16- WOMAN: Hello. - Now then, are you all right?

0:41:16 > 0:41:19- Is there anything that shouldn't be here?- Not as far as I know.

0:41:19 > 0:41:23Except there is a little bit of a smell of cannabis.

0:41:24 > 0:41:28And it's time to crack down on drug-taking in pubs.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32Half a white packet was there, like it had been placed by the guy.
