0:00:02 > 0:00:05Policing in the 21st century has come full circle.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Good evening, all.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10The old, romantic notion of the bobby on the beat -
0:00:10 > 0:00:12like Sergeant George Dixon 50 years ago -
0:00:12 > 0:00:15is very much back in favour.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19A new caring force is being created, that works in collaboration
0:00:19 > 0:00:23with the community it serves, called the neighbourhood policing team.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27You're under arrest, OK, for assault.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Now, the teams are in every local area of the country...
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Get him! We've got a runner!
0:00:32 > 0:00:35..cracking down on anti-social behaviour...
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- Stay here! - Ow! Argh!- I've had enough.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42- ..busting suspected drug dens... - SHOUTING
0:00:42 > 0:00:45There's a very, very large grove in this room. Jackpot.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47..and laying down the law to crooks and criminals.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- Do as you're told! - I wasn't even- BLEEP- driving it!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53In this new series of Neighbourhood Blues,
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- we're following the men and women from the Humberside Police Force... - You're under arrest.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00I'm arresting you for being in possession of a controlled substance.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04..as they strive to make our streets a safer place.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Hands behind your back for me, now.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Coming up... A drunk driver gets taken down...
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Stop resisting me. - You- BLEEP !
0:01:37 > 0:01:42- ..the neighbourhood team raid a suspected drug dealer...- Police!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- How much cash is there, do you think?- Oof!
0:01:44 > 0:01:47I just need to tell you that you're under arrest, all right?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52..and a historic landmark bites the dust.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Drink-driving is a problem that can have major repercussions for a community.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11Last year, there were nearly 7,000 accidents on Britain's roads
0:02:11 > 0:02:14involving excess alcohol and after many years declining,
0:02:14 > 0:02:20deaths caused by drivers who'd been drinking soared by a massive 25%.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Whilst the neighbourhood policing teams don't normally find
0:02:23 > 0:02:25themselves dealing with drink-drivers,
0:02:25 > 0:02:27they are sometimes thrust,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30unintentionally, onto the front line.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37It's 10pm and PC Jamie Campbell is on his way to assist
0:02:37 > 0:02:40two of his colleagues who are involved in a foot chase
0:02:40 > 0:02:42with a suspected drink-driver.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48One of our PCSOs in the city centre has just shouted up
0:02:48 > 0:02:52on the radio to say there has been a road-traffic accident
0:02:52 > 0:02:55further down the road and the male driver has got out
0:02:55 > 0:02:59and made off. So, we are going to try and see if we can get him stopped.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06Jamie races to the scene to help his colleagues but as he arrives,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10the pair appear to be on top of the situation - quite literally.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Hands behind your back for me, now. Do as you're told.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22It isn't me.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Drunk.- Roll over for me.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Roll over for me.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29It's fairly clear that the man has been drinking
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- but he is denying he has been driving a car.- Let's roll him over.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- Watch his head. - Careful. On my head, son.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- What's your name, there?- Too far, this male is well in drink.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Can you find out if the keys are still in the vehicle?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48No. He did have some keys when he was running.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- I didn't have no keys. - You did. I saw them.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- I wasn't even- BLEEP- driving it. It was someone else.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- Jamie. Are you all right? - Yeah.- It wasn't- BLEEP- me.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Although he says he doesn't have any keys, Jamie soon finds some on him.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06It weren't even me.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11I only have my house keys...car keys and whatever else.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- Yes, yes.- Has he got a set of car keys?- He's got a set of four keys.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- What is it?- Ford Escort, isn't it?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Do you want to take the keys and make sure they fit?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22He's be detained by PCSO prior to our arrival.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25She's chased him from the car that's collided
0:04:25 > 0:04:27just further down the street.
0:04:28 > 0:04:34He's clearly the driver and he's drunk. Quite clearly drunk.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Lift your head, son.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Now, Jamie has to prove that he was driving the crashed van.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44We've got a set of car keys which he's got in his pocket, amongst other keys.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48So, I'm just going to confirm whether those are the same vehicle keys.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51If the keys fit the ignition,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54they'll have the driver bang to rights.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I've got the vehicle keys.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I'm just going to check it, see what we've got.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02The van has done some serious damage.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06It's mounted a kerb and hit the lights at a pedestrian crossing.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09But the ignition is not broken
0:05:09 > 0:05:13so Jamie can try out the keys to see if they're the right ones.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Proven when he turns on the headlights.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22So, we've just come down to this vehicle, which is the one
0:05:22 > 0:05:26he ran away from, just to confirm the keys match the car, which they do.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31And as you can see from the destruction left behind him,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33he's made quite a mess.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37As well as the damage to the bodywork,
0:05:37 > 0:05:41it looks like the driver's head has hit and smashed the windscreen.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47The PCSOs who caught the driver were out on routine patrol
0:05:47 > 0:05:50but happened to be at the right place at the right time...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52after a bit of running.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Come in just past the roundabout and we heard a big bang.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59A smash like a car accident.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02We came running round the corner, saw this vehicle as it is now
0:06:02 > 0:06:05and a male running from the scene, right towards us.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I asked him to stop, he refused.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11So, I gave chase and when I caught him, I caught him in the street.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Not something we normally come across...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18but it's nice to get a bit of excitement every now and again.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Now and again, yeah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26The drunk-driver is facing a ban and a fine
0:06:26 > 0:06:29but he's lucky it's not more serious.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31We saw the result of the post - that's been flattened.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Unfortunately, if someone had been in front of that van,
0:06:34 > 0:06:39he would have been in custody for causing death by dangerous driving.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Back at the station,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45the extent of the man's drunkenness is even clearer to see.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Do you have any injuries or medical conditions?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Asthma, diabetes, epilepsy?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah? Which one?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- All of them.- All of them.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I think you're fibbing.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Personally.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07And he's not proving to be the most cooperative of prisoners.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Do you agree to provide two specimens of breath for analysis?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- No.- Can I ask you a question?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Do you agree to provide two samples of breath?- No, I don't.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- No, you don't. - I were drinking...
0:07:21 > 0:07:25The man's obstructive behaviour gets worse.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Come on.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Come on, John. John.- Don't resist.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Don't tense up, mate.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33As he is taken to his cell,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36trying to break free from the two officers.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- BLEEP!- Stop resisting me.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Stop resisting me. - SHOUTING
0:07:42 > 0:07:44BLEEP!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55He is making things as difficult as possible for himself.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Right. Come on, then. Let's have you up. Kneel up. One, two, three.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Up you come. Good lad, come on.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12And it doesn't end there.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Even once he is in the cell, the man continues to cause problems.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Roll over and do as you're told.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31He was later found guilty of failing to provide a specimen
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and was banned from driving for three years,
0:08:34 > 0:08:39given 100 hours' community service and fined £140.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49It's early morning in Cleethorpes
0:08:49 > 0:08:52and the neighbourhood team are preparing to raid a house
0:08:52 > 0:08:56where they believe cannabis is being grown and sold.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59In charge today is Sergeant Colin Jarrett.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05We're going to be executing a warrant under the Misuse Of Drugs Act this morning.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08It's going to be in relation to cannabis plants
0:09:08 > 0:09:11that we are aware of at this time.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14However, there is the potential there could be other drugs there,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Class As or Bs.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Joining the neighbourhood team this morning
0:09:20 > 0:09:23are members of the operational support section,
0:09:23 > 0:09:28many of whom work undercover, so we can't reveal their identities.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33They have the tools to put the door in if it's needed.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37If the door is not insecure then we can look at forcing entry
0:09:37 > 0:09:41to get the element of surprise so they can't discard
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and dispose of any evidence prior to us getting in there.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49The house has a history of criminal behaviour,
0:09:49 > 0:09:54but Colin doesn't know who or what is inside today
0:09:54 > 0:09:56so he isn't taking any chances.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59No movement. No response.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02As no-one is opening the door,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04the OSS take the do-it-yourself approach.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09LOUD BANGING
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Police!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20The early-morning wake-up call has worked
0:10:20 > 0:10:23as all the occupants are all still in bed.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Is this your place?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Do you own it?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- No, we rent it. - You rent it, do you? OK.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33We're from the local policing team.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36We've got a warrant to search these premises
0:10:36 > 0:10:38under the Misuse Of Drugs Act, OK?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41We suspect that there might be a controlled drug being grown here.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Right. That's fine. There was a problem here before.- Is there?- No!
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- There is nothing in here at all?- No!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48We are going to do a search anyway.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50There's four occupants in there.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52They have all been secured
0:10:52 > 0:10:55so now we are just going to get our equipment together
0:10:55 > 0:10:57and we will go in and start searching.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00There are three women and a man in the house.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Colin and his team are looking for evidence
0:11:03 > 0:11:06of drug-growing and dealing.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10We will be looking for mobile phones,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12any evidence of supplying
0:11:12 > 0:11:15and basically anything that could be linked to
0:11:15 > 0:11:19and assist us with our investigation.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Take your slippers off!
0:11:21 > 0:11:24It was a bit sexy until you told him off for doing it, to be honest!
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- How long have you all lived here? - Since October.- Right.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Upstairs, in the bedroom where the man and one of the women were sleeping,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36PC Andy Oliver has found something.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Some white powder and a load of cash.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Oof!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46It's like crystals.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Yeah. Uncut.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50It is possibly uncut but to be honest with you,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53given the amount you have got there coupled with money...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56And with small bags underneath, as you can see,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and a spoon and a small set of scales in it.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05They suspect the powder is MCAT, otherwise known as mephedrone.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08It became popular as a natural high
0:12:08 > 0:12:11but was made illegal a few years ago.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13The plan now is that they are all going to be arrested
0:12:13 > 0:12:16on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19because it's in here but it's more or less a shared house.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22There are no locks on the doors and everyone seems to have free access
0:12:22 > 0:12:25so they are all going to have to come in and be spoken about it.
0:12:25 > 0:12:31And then we're off to see what the substance is.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Time to give the house's occupants the good news.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38I just need to tell you all that you are all under arrest on suspicion
0:12:38 > 0:12:42of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to supply.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do
0:12:45 > 0:12:48not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Basically, you are all under arrest now.- Why? What have we you found?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I just need to tell you that you are under arrest on suspicion
0:12:57 > 0:13:01of possession of a controlled substance with intent to supply.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03It is potentially a big find
0:13:03 > 0:13:06and coupled with the large amount of money
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and a set of digital scales,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12it suggests that the drugs are being sold
0:13:12 > 0:13:14rather than just for personal use.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Scenes-of-crime officers take photos
0:13:20 > 0:13:23while another member of the team has found a bag which looks to contain
0:13:23 > 0:13:27some other drugs belonging to the man.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Testosterone Enanthate.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35He did openly admit that he is a steroid user...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40..and there was also syringes found.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45And he did state that he does inject steroids into his body.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Possessing steroids isn't illegal if they are for personal use,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52but selling them is an offence.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Have you ever tried to hurt yourself in any way or commit suicide?
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Back at the police station, the man is in custody, being processed.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05If we find out that he is the one in possession and it's his money,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08then he will be going to court
0:14:08 > 0:14:11and hopefully receive a harsher sentence.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19No further action was taken against the three women.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23The man is currently on bail, awaiting further investigation.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29The team went into the house looking for cannabis and although they
0:14:29 > 0:14:33didn't find any, it's nevertheless been a very successful operation.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39We didn't find what we expected to find, but things work out like that.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Lucky for us, unlucky for them.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43It was a success,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47it sends out a message to the neighbourhood that we are active,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51and drugs, whether it be Class A or B,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53won't be tolerated on the streets of East Marsh.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55And we will go out
0:14:55 > 0:14:58and we will get the warrants from the magistrates' courts
0:14:58 > 0:15:02and if necessary, the doors will go in and we will conduct the searches.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Vandalism and criminal damage can easily be dismissed
0:15:12 > 0:15:13as not being that important,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16but the neighbourhood teams are well aware that they are crimes
0:15:16 > 0:15:19that can have a huge impact on the quality of people's lives,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21and if not dealt with quickly and effectively
0:15:21 > 0:15:24can increase people's fear of crime.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Cracking down on yobs and vandals who cause people such misery
0:15:28 > 0:15:31is a major priority for the police.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36It's early evening in Grimsby,
0:15:36 > 0:15:40and PC Andy Oliver and Special Constable Mikael Allen
0:15:40 > 0:15:42have been called to provide backup
0:15:42 > 0:15:46for one of their colleagues who's just arrested a 15-year-old.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50We're just going to assist one of the PCSOs. He's got a male detained
0:15:50 > 0:15:53and he's not very happy at the minute.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55He's well in drink as well, from what I heard.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58The youth who's been stopped is believed to be
0:15:58 > 0:16:02part of a drunken group who'd vandalised a shop.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Are you all right, mate?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07The incident, which was captured on CCTV,
0:16:07 > 0:16:12started with the youth wearing a red jacket kicking over a sign.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18As the shopkeeper comes out to retrieve his sign,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20he's confronted by a girl.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28The girl then becomes aggressive,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30shouting racial abuse at the shopkeeper.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36And as he tries to walk away she pushes him in the back.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Before throwing the sign back into the road.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Off-camera, she smashes the shop window before heading off
0:16:49 > 0:16:53with a gang of youths, including the lad who initially damaged the sign.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00They have one person arrested, but need to find the others,
0:17:00 > 0:17:04and two lads have been seen running off into a nearby industrial estate.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07That's received, thank you.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Have a look in here and see what we can see.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Once on the estate, they still can't spot the gang.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Andy thinks they may be hiding in a builders' yard
0:17:19 > 0:17:22behind one of the main buildings.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Nothing in there.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30With no-one there, they head round to the front of the building.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33How the hell can we get up here?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35As there's no-one on the ground,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Andy suspects they're hiding one of the roofs.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46But there's still no-one to be seen.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50It seems that the gang have vanished into thin air.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Find out later if Andy catches up with the teenage tearaways.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Neighbourhood teams spend the majority of their time
0:18:05 > 0:18:08on the beat dealing with members of the public.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11And while most of those dealings are positive,
0:18:11 > 0:18:16sometimes officers get to see the worst sides of human behaviour.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I think society in general expects a lot from the police.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23I think with the cuts that there's been in police numbers,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I think they have an unenviable task.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Some people say they're the police and they're paid to take abuse.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31No, they're not! They're in the community as well.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33They're not a different species.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36They wear a uniform and they're paid to look after the community.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I think it's a really hard job and I think it's very thankless as well,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42but from my experience they're really good, yeah.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48It's a sunny Saturday afternoon in Grimsby
0:18:48 > 0:18:50and PCs Chris McVeigh and Andy Oliver
0:18:50 > 0:18:54are on their way to a dispute between neighbours
0:18:54 > 0:18:56about an alleged dog attack.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58There've been some issues over some...
0:19:00 > 0:19:03..problems with a dog escaping from a back garden...
0:19:04 > 0:19:07..and attacking another dog.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Three Staffordshire bull terriers have apparently
0:19:10 > 0:19:14broken through a fence and bitten a German shepherd, but now it
0:19:14 > 0:19:18sounds like the dog-owners are getting into a fight of their own.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24We just had a call to say that there is a further incident,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28a disturbance outside one of the addresses.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33They first visit the house of the man whose German shepherd
0:19:33 > 0:19:35was allegedly attacked,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38but before Chris and Andy can find out any details
0:19:38 > 0:19:41the other dog-owner involved in the dispute
0:19:41 > 0:19:43comes to pay her neighbour a visit.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Just to let you know he's the person who's the owner
0:19:48 > 0:19:51next door to the dog. Come on, then! Oi! Get out here!
0:19:51 > 0:19:55The best move now is to keep the woman away from the house
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- and calm her down. - SUSTAINED BLEEPING
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Get him out here, then! You want to make a- BLEEP- scene!
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- Make sure this is- BLEEP- cos I'm not being shown on this- BLEEP.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06No matter how angry she is,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10she can't use language like this in public.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- SUSTAINED BLEEPING - Get him out here, then! No!
0:20:13 > 0:20:17If you start swearing, you'll get locked up!
0:20:17 > 0:20:20You are not coming in my house!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Hey! I said- BLEEP.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25You're under arrest, Section 5, Public Order Act.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Chris and Andy can smell alcohol on the woman's breath.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34She is being taken in but they need a van to take her to the cells,
0:20:34 > 0:20:36because of how she is behaving.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- You- BLEEP.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Up against the wall, shall we?- I think so.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Since when could you- BLEEP. Could you curb your language?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- No, I will not! Am I swearing?! - There are children in the street.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54There's witnesses across the road! Am I swearing?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Am I saying any swear words? - MAN: No.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00SUSTAINED BLEEPING
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- You did there!- You did there!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05SUSTAINED BLEEPING
0:21:07 > 0:21:10The arrival of a police van doesn't change things much.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Now, it's the turn of Andy and Chris's colleagues
0:21:12 > 0:21:17to feel the full force of the woman's foul mouth.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19SUSTAINED BLEEPING
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Hurry up!
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Oh, yeah! - SUSTAINED BLEEPING
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Hurry up, then!
0:21:26 > 0:21:27- In we go.- Thank you.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Sit down.- Thank you.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34'Apparently, that lady's been arrested as the owner of the dogs.'
0:21:34 > 0:21:37She's gone round to the other address
0:21:37 > 0:21:40remonstrating that they've called the police,
0:21:40 > 0:21:42but she's in a little bit of drink.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I've arrested her for a public order offence anyway.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51We can't let her stay here tonight once she's in drink.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55She's so fired up... you don't know what might happen.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Hopefully, a ride in the back of a police van will calm the woman down.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04But it doesn't seem to have had the desired effect.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Let me out! - SUSTAINED BLEEPING
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Step.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09SUSTAINED BLEEPING
0:22:10 > 0:22:13What do you do? SUSTAINED BLEEPING
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- I did my A-levels! Four years- BLEEP.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- All right?!- Just asking!- Yeah!
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- I'm not- BLEEP!
0:22:20 > 0:22:24I never said you were. I was just asking.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- I'm not being taken for no- BLEEP.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- I did not do- BLEEP.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30- That is why I'm so- BLEEP- angry!
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Get me in that- BLEEP- cell!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- I'll be home in a couple of hours and I'm going to- BLEEP- that woman!
0:22:36 > 0:22:39I'm off out of here!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42The dispute about her dogs has long been forgotten
0:22:42 > 0:22:47and the woman is facing being charged for a public order offence.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Not that she seems too bothered.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53OK, I can only do that if you speak to us reasonably.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- I'll just sit in my cell then! - SUSTAINED BLEEPING
0:22:56 > 0:22:59No! You're not here to save me!
0:22:59 > 0:23:04SHOUTING AND BLEEPING CONTINUES
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Can you take her down to the cell and make sure she's strip-searched?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I'll speak to you when you've calmed down.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Even for an experienced officer like Chris, it's been a difficult arrest.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18The amount of abuse she was giving
0:23:18 > 0:23:21over such a short period of time was quite a lot.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24You get used to the odd word now and again,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27but she was quite over the top, yeah.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29But, yeah, thick-skinned.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34After spending the night in the cells, the woman pleaded guilty
0:23:34 > 0:23:39to drunk and disorderly behaviour and was fined £80 plus costs.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50The neighbourhood team are on the lookout for a group of youths
0:23:50 > 0:23:54who had vandalised a shop and abused its owner.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57One lad, who damaged a sign, has already been arrested,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00but the others are still at large.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02How the hell can we get up here?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05They've followed them to an industrial estate,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07but can't locate them.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Andy Oliver finally spots two lads on top of a nearby building
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- and radios for assistance. - It's on Flower Square.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Can we get an MOE team down here as quick as we can?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21It's all padlocked up.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24While Andy he waits for a team to force entry to the front
0:24:24 > 0:24:29of the building, at the back, other officers have made a discovery.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32He's got a cut on his head?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- Where is he?- He's inside.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39He's fallen, but I don't think he's fallen all the way through the floor.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43One of the youths has fallen through the roof
0:24:43 > 0:24:45and could be seriously hurt.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51His friend is letting the officers know what's happening.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Who's up on the roof talking to us?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56INDISTINCT REPLY And who's fallen?
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Don't know.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01- Is he talking, moving? - He's got a cut on his head.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05As they can't get in through the locked front door,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07the only way is up -
0:25:07 > 0:25:10thankfully, a mechanic from a nearby garage has a ladder.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Meanwhile, officers have managed to force open the back door
0:25:18 > 0:25:20to get to the injured youth.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22But he isn't too badly hurt
0:25:22 > 0:25:25and has managed to climb back onto the roof.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31The youth, wearing the blue and white top,
0:25:31 > 0:25:33has had a lucky escape -
0:25:33 > 0:25:36he's fallen ten feet onto a mezzanine floor
0:25:36 > 0:25:39and has got away with just a broken wrist.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43The mechanic who'd brought the ladder is keeping him company.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49The police are soon joined
0:25:49 > 0:25:52by their colleagues from the other emergency services
0:25:52 > 0:25:53to get the lads to safety.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Once they get the medical all-clear, they'll be heading for the cells.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04The mechanic who was first on the roof with the two youths
0:26:04 > 0:26:06saw everything as it happened.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Could hear them on the far side roof, I went out the side of the building,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15had a quick look up, see him tip over the top.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Next thing I know, the alarms are going off,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21so it was evident that somebody had gone through a roof and fell in.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23I don't think they really realise
0:26:23 > 0:26:27how close to really hurting themselves they've just been.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Em...phenomenal, really.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35This lad was on the roof and saw his friend fall.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- How did you do that? - I had to jump in through...
0:26:38 > 0:26:39To try and help him?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Cos I though he was paralysed. - Yeah. He's lucky, he's a lucky boy.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Them roofs are not good, are they? - Landed, like, on his side.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Frightening, innit? Just think of what could have happened.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51When I looked through, it looked like he was paralysed.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Look at the problem we've got -
0:26:53 > 0:26:55we've got to get in to help you, haven't we?
0:26:55 > 0:26:56We've got to get the equipment,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58then get the people to come and help us to get in, so...
0:27:01 > 0:27:04With the lads in the care of paramedics,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08PC Michael Bentley returns to the shop to assess the damage.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I'm sorry this has happened to you, tonight.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14We've caught the people that we believe were involved, anyway -
0:27:14 > 0:27:17a bit further up the road. We had other problems and stuff...
0:27:17 > 0:27:20This isn't just a case of vandalism, though.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23This shopkeeper also suffered racial abuse in the attack.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27She said, "You think I broke in?
0:27:27 > 0:27:31"You Paki BLEEP, you think I broke it?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34"I didn't break it", and she tried to...
0:27:34 > 0:27:36Yeah, pulled her chest towards me.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38So, I was a little bit afraid, you know?
0:27:38 > 0:27:39She's coming towards me.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41I said, "OK, I don't want to talk to you.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44"I don't blame you, cos I know this is done by the guys."
0:27:46 > 0:27:49All the youths involved in the attack were arrested.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53The girl, aged just 13, who smashed the window
0:27:53 > 0:27:55was earlier caught on CCTV
0:27:55 > 0:27:58stealing a number of things from a petrol station
0:27:58 > 0:28:01just minutes before her attack on the shop.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05Working with a friend, she stands at the till
0:28:05 > 0:28:09while the other girl causes a commotion at the front door.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11And as the shopkeeper goes after her friend,
0:28:11 > 0:28:14he helps herself to some chocolate.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18She was later convicted of racially-aggravated criminal damage
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and given a two-month night-time curfew,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23monitored by an electronic tag,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26as well as a nine-month rehabilitation order
0:28:26 > 0:28:29and a two-year ASBO.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31The boy who hit the sign was charged with criminal damage
0:28:31 > 0:28:34and received a six-month rehabilitation order.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37No further action was taken against the young lad,
0:28:37 > 0:28:40who fell through the roof and broke his wrist.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Racially-motivated attacks, like we've just seen,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49are a form of hate crime -
0:28:49 > 0:28:53which, since 2009, the police have been taking a statistical record of.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Last year, they recorded a staggering 44,000 hate crimes
0:28:56 > 0:29:01in England and Wales, of which 82% were race hate crimes.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03They know that a great deal of harm can be done
0:29:03 > 0:29:05to victims and communities,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08so whenever the neighbourhood team hear about an incident,
0:29:08 > 0:29:12they treat it with the utmost importance.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22It's closing time in Hull,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25and Jamie Campbell's been called out to deal with a man
0:29:25 > 0:29:27who sounds like he's had a couple too many.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32The command centre has asked us to assist the instant response team,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35cos there's currently nobody available at the moment,
0:29:35 > 0:29:39but a taxi driver's been getting some abuse from one of his customers
0:29:39 > 0:29:40who's been sick in his taxi.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Being sick in a taxi is a civil offence which incurs a fine.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50The police often get called to situations like this
0:29:50 > 0:29:53if a passenger is refusing to pay.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- BLEEP...- Go and stand back. Just go and stand over there.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01- What's going on?- Well, I picked up the guy in- BLEEP- Street, right?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Him and his friend and one female.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- From here to Vauxhall Tavern.- Yep.
0:30:07 > 0:30:13- Just stand this way, so I can keep an eye on my mate there.- Yes, yes.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15When he came out from the house, he got sick,
0:30:15 > 0:30:19and I told the girl, make sure he is not sick in my car.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24She said, "OK, that's fine." I drove up to here from there, right.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29He was sick in my back-seat. I told him that it's a £60 fine by law.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- And he said no. He dropped his purse and I kept it.- Right.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36- He walked away and he shouted at me. He called me Paki- BLEEP.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- I'm not a Paki.- Right. - I'm a Kurdish guy.- OK.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42I rang the police straightaway
0:30:42 > 0:30:46because I don't want to cause trouble. This is my job.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50The driver has been called a racial swearword, and that is a crime.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53At the end of the day, if he's been sick in your car,
0:30:53 > 0:30:56that's a civil dispute between yourself and him.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59The reason I'm here is because of the allegation you've made,
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- that he called you the word you said.- Yes.- All right?
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Are you willing to support a prosecution by giving us
0:31:05 > 0:31:07a statement as to what happened and sending him
0:31:07 > 0:31:09to the magistrates' court?
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- Yes.- You are?- Yes.- Right, OK.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15There's clearly a stain and what looks like vomit in the car,
0:31:15 > 0:31:18but that's a problem for the taxi driver, not the police.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23Jamie's concern is the alleged racial abuse from the passenger.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28A girl was also in the taxi, so he gets her side of the story.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32We've literally come from that house there on the very end, up to here.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35He's sat in the back and he said, "I feel sick, I feel sick.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38"I'm going to be sick." He was sick all over himself.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40He asked the taxi driver to stop.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43The taxi driver wouldn't stop, and then we got here,
0:31:43 > 0:31:47and the taxi driver got out and he's like, "You've been sick!"
0:31:47 > 0:31:50He was like, "I need to get out, I really need to get out."
0:31:50 > 0:31:54So, he got out of the car and the taxi driver got his little torch out
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- and he was like, "You've been sick on my seat. You owe me £60."- Right.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02- But let's be fair, he was sick on himself, all it is is water.- Right.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- What did he shout at him?- He called him a Paki- BLEEP.- Right, OK.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12- Unfortunately, he's going to be getting locked up.- Is he really?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- Yes, you can't go around calling people that.- I know that, but...
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- Put your hands out for me.- You're not going to arrest me, are you?
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- I am, yes.- Really?! I've done nothing wrong, dude.- Listen to me.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28At this minute in time, I'm arresting you
0:32:28 > 0:32:32for a Section Five Racially Aggravated Public Order Offence.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34What does that mean?
0:32:34 > 0:32:38Racially aggravated. It's causing harassment, alarm and distress.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- I only called him a Paki, that's all.- Listen to me.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
0:32:44 > 0:32:48if you don't mention something we later rely on in court... Do you understand?
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- No, no. I don't understand at all. I've done nothing wrong.- Right.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Nothing wrong whatsoever.- Listen to me. I'm trying to help you out.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Sit in the back of the car, all right?
0:32:58 > 0:33:02No, because you won't listen to me from the back of the car.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05That's the thing, you will not listen to me whatsoever
0:33:05 > 0:33:07if I'm in here.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10If the taxi driver wants to press charges,
0:33:10 > 0:33:14and the passenger is found guilty of racial abuse,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17he could face a prison sentence of up to two years.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20But he still doesn't think he's done anything wrong.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- This is- BLEEP- ridiculous! - GIRL: Keep your mouth shut!
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Whatever, mate!- Just leave him.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Stop swearing. SUSTAINED BLEEPING
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Let me in and let me talk to him. Are you listening to me?
0:33:31 > 0:33:36What I need you to do... Listen to me!
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I need you to remain calm and stop shouting and swearing.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41If you carry on doing that, you will be going into custody.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Do you understand me? Right, OK.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48Humberside police take a zero-tolerance approach
0:33:48 > 0:33:51when it comes to racial abuse.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53It's degrading for the people.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57This guy tells me, I believe he said he was originally from Kurdistan.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02He's clearly come here to work.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07He's not been abusive or aggressive to anybody else who's here.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11He's here to work and he should be allowed to go about and do that.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Depending on whether he's black, white, purple, pink or blue.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17It should make no difference.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18So, for somebody to be singled out
0:34:18 > 0:34:22purely because of the way they look, it's not acceptable.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26But the situation has changed.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30The female passenger has agreed to pay the fine for cleaning the taxi.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33With the money in his pocket,
0:34:33 > 0:34:37the taxi driver appears to have had a change of heart.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41I got advice from the office. I spoke to them.
0:34:41 > 0:34:46At the end of the day, I don't think he will do it again.
0:34:46 > 0:34:52He's drunk anyway, so I don't like him to put him on crime for that.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Right. At the end of the day,
0:34:53 > 0:34:57the issue we have is the language he's using is not acceptable.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01We don't tolerate it, we don't see why you should have to tolerate it.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04But unless you're prepared to support us
0:35:04 > 0:35:06and go to court and give evidence in relation
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- to what he's said to you, there's nothing we can do about it.- I know.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Well, if that's what you want to do, our hands are tied.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16I can't prosecute if you're not prepared to give us any evidence.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19He's now changed his mind and he's telling me
0:35:19 > 0:35:23that he's ultimately more interested in getting recompense for the cost
0:35:23 > 0:35:26of his taxi being cleaned, and he doesn't really want
0:35:26 > 0:35:29to do anything about the lad shouting and swearing at him.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32It looks like sweet dreams, rather than nightmares,
0:35:32 > 0:35:34for the snoozing man.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Wakey wakey, sunshine. It's your lucky night. Stand up.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44- Do not cause trouble.- Please, don't do it next time, it's not very nice.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46I didn't mean any offence by it.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48I don't want to take you to court,
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- I don't want to put you on crime, you know.- Listen to me.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54What you're saying is not acceptable, all right?
0:35:54 > 0:35:57I don't believe for one minute that you didn't mean it, all right?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00If you didn't mean it, you wouldn't have said it.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04So, keep your words and your thoughts to yourself. All right?
0:36:04 > 0:36:08You know what you've done, you just waste your time, our time.
0:36:08 > 0:36:13- Yeah, yeah. I didn't mean any offence. I apologise.- All right.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- I suggest you get on your way while you still can.- Don't do it next time.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Luckily for him,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22he's going home, rather than the cells to sleep off the booze.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25We've explained that it's not acceptable,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28we don't tolerate it, and there's no reason why he should.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31But ultimately, if he doesn't want to cooperate with us
0:36:31 > 0:36:35and provide a statement to us, we have no evidence, therefore
0:36:35 > 0:36:38we have no complainant, therefore the lad's going to be walking away.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Since they were built in the 1960s, the Ashthorpe and Milldane
0:36:51 > 0:36:56tower blocks have dominated the skyline in north Hull.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59But today, they're being demolished.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03For safety reasons, nearby homes are being evacuated,
0:37:03 > 0:37:04roads are being closed,
0:37:04 > 0:37:08and large crowds are expected to watch the demolition.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14So, the neighbourhood team, led by Sergeant Caroline Andrews,
0:37:14 > 0:37:16have got a busy day ahead of them.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20The evacuation has already started to take place.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24It should have started from 8am and will be complete by 11am.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28The evacuation consists of people whose properties
0:37:28 > 0:37:33are within 120 metres of the exclusion zone, so we are expecting
0:37:33 > 0:37:36quite an attendance from the estate, and from people elsewhere.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Hopefully, it should be quite an interesting spectacle.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42A lot of the residents are already saying to us
0:37:42 > 0:37:46that they're quite happy, shall we say, that this day's come
0:37:46 > 0:37:48and that the flats are coming down.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52In the half-century since they were built,
0:37:52 > 0:37:55the blocks have fallen into disrepair.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Hull City Council decided it was cheaper to knock them down
0:37:58 > 0:38:02and build new homes than to renovate them.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06It was built in the early 1960s. At the time, it was a beautiful estate,
0:38:06 > 0:38:13and it was an estate that many people wanted to live on.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17In recent years, however, some of the flats became home to criminal
0:38:17 > 0:38:21elements, which caused problems for the neighbourhood teams.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24It's very difficult to police the flats,
0:38:24 > 0:38:26especially if there are known criminals
0:38:26 > 0:38:29living on the top floors of the flats.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32It can be quite dangerous going up there.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35There's a lot of people who are very happy to see them come down.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40The twin tower blocks are being demolished as part of a £15 million
0:38:40 > 0:38:46project to revitalise the estate and make way for over 100 new homes.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Since people have lived here a lot of years,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51a lot of people have lived in the flats,
0:38:51 > 0:38:55so it's from a nostalgia point of view they want to see them come down.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58It's a nice day for all the residents to get together
0:38:58 > 0:39:02and see the flats come down. It's something for them to talk about.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06With 50 kilos of explosives, and hundreds of tonnes of falling concrete,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09the neighbourhood team's main job is to prevent people
0:39:09 > 0:39:12getting too close to the demolition sites.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Exclusion zones are in force for pedestrians.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19No pedestrians can walk through here now.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22The evacuation should be finished by now.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26And really, no people should be going through now,
0:39:26 > 0:39:30unless it's a vehicle. They're going to be stopped shortly.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Then we'll be into the final countdown
0:39:34 > 0:39:36into when they actually get blown down.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Despite the imminent explosion,
0:39:40 > 0:39:43some people are still unhappy they can't go where they please.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45It's the construction company.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49It's ridiculous, when you're letting cars through and you won't even let a person through!
0:39:49 > 0:39:55You've got people walking about everywhere. You're not even consistent with each other!
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Excuse me? Can you watch your language as well, please?
0:40:02 > 0:40:05With 15 minutes to go, the community has gathered to watch
0:40:05 > 0:40:09the demolition, and there is a feeling of nostalgia in the air.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13I feel a bit sad, do you know what I mean?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Those were the best flats around here.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19I've been brought up on Orchard Park. It's part of this street, it's part of our lives.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23As you drive into Hull, it's one of the first things you see,
0:40:23 > 0:40:25so it's going to be very odd.
0:40:25 > 0:40:30And they're our reference points as well for when we're on patrol.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34We kind of know where things are and streets are by these flats.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Satisfied the area has been successfully evacuated,
0:40:44 > 0:40:48and everyone is safely behind the exclusion zone lines,
0:40:48 > 0:40:51now is the time they have all been waiting for.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53SIREN SOUNDS
0:40:53 > 0:40:56The final warning siren is sounded.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00With a safety zone of just 200 metres around each site,
0:41:00 > 0:41:03everyone's hoping the blowdown goes to plan.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31SHOUTING AND NOISY CHATTER
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Pretty spectacular, I have to say.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37It was exciting last year when we saw one,
0:41:37 > 0:41:41but for two of them to go together,
0:41:41 > 0:41:45it was pretty amazing, really.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50But, er... It's just tinged with sadness that they've gone.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53They're part of our landscape, they're part of our community.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58The double demolition has been a complete success.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02The neighbourhood team have done their job of keeping everyone safe.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05There's been no problems at all.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08I saw a stray dog just wandering around,
0:42:08 > 0:42:13but that seems to have wandered around freely after it's come down,
0:42:13 > 0:42:14so even the dog is safe.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Don't run away, pooch, come on.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20Local residents can now look forward
0:42:20 > 0:42:23to the future of the Orchard Park estate.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25It did get to be a bit of an eyesore,
0:42:25 > 0:42:29with the people that were living in it,
0:42:29 > 0:42:33but now it's up to the rest of the community and everybody
0:42:33 > 0:42:37to clean it all up, so let's get it going straight again.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43To think that less than an hour ago it was stood,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46and it had been here for all those years,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49and now it's just a pile of rubble.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52It is quite surreal, really, isn't it?
0:42:52 > 0:42:53With the clear-up under way,
0:42:53 > 0:42:56and the regeneration of the estate one step closer,
0:42:56 > 0:42:59for the neighbourhood teams and public alike,
0:42:59 > 0:43:02the day certainly went with a bang.
