0:00:02 > 0:00:05Neighbourhood policing has come a long way since the days of Dixon Of Dock Green.
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Good evening, all.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09From inner-city estates to suburbia, this new
0:00:09 > 0:00:13generation of community police officers are on the front line.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Their aim is to develop a stronger bond with the community,
0:00:18 > 0:00:21crack down on the crimes taking place on your doorstep
0:00:21 > 0:00:26and formulate fast-action plans to take down the criminals.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27- I said no.- I said yes.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31In this new series of Neighbourhood Blues
0:00:31 > 0:00:33we go to the Humberside police region
0:00:33 > 0:00:37and get exclusive access to 12 teams of neighbourhood police officers
0:00:37 > 0:00:40as they tackle the problems blighting local people...
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- No, I don't care.- Hey, hey!
0:00:45 > 0:00:49..and rise to the challenge of making the streets a safer place.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Coming up...
0:01:14 > 0:01:18As darkness falls, Cleethorpes' May Day bank holiday celebrations
0:01:18 > 0:01:19take a turn for the worse...
0:01:19 > 0:01:22SHOUTING
0:01:22 > 0:01:26..a falling-out over the garden fence sees these two warring
0:01:26 > 0:01:27neighbours go to court...
0:01:27 > 0:01:30There's a pile of wood here. He just bulldozed it down.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- That is not on the deeds. It's a no-brainer.- Right.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37..and could these pint-sized Sherlocks really have witnessed a kidnapping?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Do you know the difference between the truth and lies?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49All across Humberside, neighbourhood police teams take
0:01:49 > 0:01:53time-out from regular police work to engage with the public.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56The aim is not only to give policing a friendlier face,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58but to also provide people with information about the causes
0:01:58 > 0:02:02of crime and how to limit the chances of becoming a victim of it.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And it's an approach that has paid dividends.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11In the olden days, you wouldn't have expected the police to get
0:02:11 > 0:02:14involved in a dispute between neighbours,
0:02:14 > 0:02:15but things have changed
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and the neighbourhood teams have become well versed at mediating
0:02:18 > 0:02:21when a slanging match develops across the garden fence.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22I know friends of mine
0:02:22 > 0:02:25who have got major problems sometimes with their neighbours.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27If you live in a flat
0:02:27 > 0:02:31and you've got some weirdo who is playing drugged-up heavy bass music
0:02:31 > 0:02:34at four o'clock every morning, it's not a lot of fun,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36really, not a lot of fun.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40And I suppose the answer is to move, but it seems unfair.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45Other neighbours I've had in the past have been slightly different,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48where they go out of their way to be awkward,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50and also domestic disputes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53The police having to deal with them, is, in my eyes, ridiculous,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57because that shouldn't be something they should be involved in,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59but if someone's getting hurt, then of course.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03But I've seen police just having to go to people's houses cos of a disagreement that's heated.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- My neighbours are all right. - I've got lovely neighbours. I can't complain. Lovely neighbours.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10In fact, one of my neighbours is actually an ex-police officer.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Couldn't get any safer than that, can you?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Falling out with a neighbour can have major repercussions.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21As well as causing much heartache, such fights can cost you dearly
0:03:21 > 0:03:24and even make your house unsaleable.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Today, over in Bridlington, PC Nikki Cammis is en route to meet
0:03:30 > 0:03:33a pair of neighbours who are at loggerheads.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38A track that acts as a right of way to several properties,
0:03:38 > 0:03:42including theirs, is also lined by a hedgerow and a fence.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46The two men have fallen out about who can use the right of way
0:03:46 > 0:03:50and exactly where the dividing line between their properties is.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54So, trees, I've dealt with those sort of issues before.
0:03:54 > 0:04:00I know a little bit about trees. Boundary lines... Way over my head.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04The dispute has been going on for over two years.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05- Hello.- Hiya.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Your dad is back, isn't he?- Yes. He's just up there.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- I'll go and fetch him.- Thanks.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10It relates to an access road
0:04:10 > 0:04:13and the boundary line between the properties.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Despite trying to resolve it through mediation, both parties
0:04:16 > 0:04:18believe they are in the right
0:04:18 > 0:04:20and the case is now going to court tomorrow.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Nikki is paying a them visit to see how they are bearing up.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I have come today from the neighbourhood team
0:04:26 > 0:04:28in Bridlington to discuss with you the issue that you
0:04:28 > 0:04:30have at the moment with your neighbours.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34What I would like to know is, we now know the decision's coming
0:04:34 > 0:04:39tomorrow, about time, I know you're confident you're going to win.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42If you do happen to lose, what's going to be the consequence of that?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's difficult to say how I can lose
0:04:45 > 0:04:48because I've got the original certified documents,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51the measurements add up to the boundary line.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Nothing that Mr Rhodes has got provides any...
0:04:55 > 0:04:58The onus of proof is on him, because he's the claimant.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00But he hasn't got any evidence.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04He's jumped on a letter that's not a legally binding document.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09And if the judge accepts the letter that he's built his case round,
0:05:09 > 0:05:14- he actually loses land. He doesn't gain it.- Right. If you lose...?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18If I lose, then I'll get a substantial legal bill to pay
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- because obviously they are going to want their costs paid.- Right.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26If I win, then it will stay as it is and it will be a garden
0:05:26 > 0:05:28because that's all it is.
0:05:28 > 0:05:34As tensions between the homes have escalated, both have taken to
0:05:34 > 0:05:38installing CCTV cameras to monitor activity over the right of way
0:05:38 > 0:05:41and boundary line which is in dispute.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44But this brings with it a whole new set of legal problems
0:05:44 > 0:05:46surrounding the issue of privacy.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Obviously you've got two new cameras up on your building.- Yes.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Again, they want to know where your cameras are facing, to offer reassurance...
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I said I would offer them reassurance that they don't go onto their land.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Camera can't go onto their land. - His camera goes onto my land.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03That's what the officer had been to see them about.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Yes, but it does. It points directly onto my road.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08It's onto... Well, it's very similar...
0:06:08 > 0:06:11It shows a garage there and it shows my road there.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13But...
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I know you're saying it's your road, but to them they have right of access...
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- No.- I know you believe that. - No, it isn't. It's not on the deeds.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- I've got the documents. It's a no-brainer.- Right.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I know for you, but until it is decided tomorrow...
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Until it is decided tomorrow... - ..they think differently.- Well...- OK?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32If it turns out you win tomorrow and it's your land,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34then I'll happily go back and check their CCTV
0:06:34 > 0:06:37and make sure it doesn't cover your driveway, if it's yours.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40I can't say fairer than that, can I?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Are you all right, Martin?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46With Mr Walker left to ponder about the legalities of his CCTV set-up,
0:06:46 > 0:06:52Nikki heads next door to pay the other neighbour, Mr Rhodes, a visit.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53You are very confident you're going to win
0:06:53 > 0:06:56and, believe you me, when I spoke to him,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58he's not even thinking about losing.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00It's not even an option in his mind.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03All I can reiterate to you is, please don't take any matters
0:07:03 > 0:07:07into your own hands and just think, a better person walks away,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- otherwise you're going to walk yourself straight into some trouble. - Yeah.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14It's clearly taking a strain on both parties,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17who are convinced of their own right to access the driveway
0:07:17 > 0:07:20and manipulate the boundary line as they see fit.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23He has bought the plot of land. Since he's moved in two years ago,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25it's been one thing after another.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28There was a nice full hedge. He's hacked it right back.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30This is my fence that he knocked down.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33It was fenced off all the way down here.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36His pal, he just bulldozed it down. And I think there
0:07:36 > 0:07:39was about six of them altogether came one day and just bulldozed it down.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41These are the trees that he's chopped down.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44One there, one there, they're just stumps now.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47It's a shared access lane and he's just blocked it all.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Mr Rhodes believes that the fallout from the dispute over the
0:07:50 > 0:07:54right of way in particular is also affecting other homes in the area.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58This is 101 here's main access.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01He's put that wire fence across, he's put the boat there.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Anybody that comes up here, they've been abused by him.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09I haven't been able to use it for the last year or two
0:08:09 > 0:08:12because he would scare you.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Neighbourhood disputes often begin over minor misunderstandings,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20but this one has escalated to a point where only
0:08:20 > 0:08:23a court of law can bring any closure to the two men who are both
0:08:23 > 0:08:26adamant that they are in the right.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28When we first came, the hedge came out to beyond my car
0:08:28 > 0:08:30right at the bottom.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34If you look at that, there's no growth at this side whatsoever.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38So he tried to simulate that the centre of the hedge was
0:08:38 > 0:08:43further over than what it actually was, but I've pipped him at the post
0:08:43 > 0:08:46by cutting the hedge back. That's when he started...
0:08:46 > 0:08:48That's when the argument first started and I said
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I'm quite within my right to chop down my side of the boundary hedge.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55The fencing were here, at this side here.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59So you can see naturally that it juts out
0:08:59 > 0:09:00nearly three foot into the road.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03This line is a straight line,
0:09:03 > 0:09:05not a dogleg.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08As is often the case with neighbourhood disputes,
0:09:08 > 0:09:12the initial problem can lead to a larger falling out
0:09:12 > 0:09:14and further accusations being made.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18If we pass each other at the bottom, he'll pull up
0:09:18 > 0:09:22and just stare at the wife, or stare at me, and anybody that is
0:09:22 > 0:09:26coming to the house. He's just sat glaring at you, intimidating you.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28The day that we put this fence up,
0:09:28 > 0:09:31that night she turned her lights off, he turned his off,
0:09:31 > 0:09:32it were all...
0:09:32 > 0:09:36When he was grinning at me, he was taking pictures, so I waved at him.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40And the next day, police came up, he told them that I'd stuck two fingers
0:09:40 > 0:09:43up at him and shouting and bawling at him.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46There were these two or three almighty bangs and it were him.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49With emotions running this high, the neighbourhood team
0:09:49 > 0:09:52are keen for this neighbourhood dispute to be brought to
0:09:52 > 0:09:56a swift end that can enable both parties to move on from this
0:09:56 > 0:09:59unfortunate set of incidents that have blighted them.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Both men remain in a confident mood.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03There is no way round it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05It's written in the deeds
0:10:05 > 0:10:08and that's where the saying comes from, "in deed".
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- So, 11 o'clock tomorrow, hopefully. - See you later.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16For Nikki, the court ruling will at last provide a clear
0:10:16 > 0:10:19focus for the police, should any further falling out arise.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare. It's a headache. It's a nightmare.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26And I don't know who the land belongs to, either,
0:10:26 > 0:10:30but once that's decided by the judge then I'll be able to manage it better
0:10:30 > 0:10:32because it will be a case of, "It's not your land,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34"now get on with it, get on with your lives."
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Find out later which man wins this battle of the boundary line.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49So-called legal highs have been making headlines.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Many of these lab-manufactured powders aim to simulate
0:10:54 > 0:10:57the effect of drugs such as ecstasy.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Whilst they may not be banned,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02many of these uncontrolled substances are toxic.
0:11:02 > 0:11:07Legal highs are a big problem, not just in our city,
0:11:07 > 0:11:08throughout the country.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11And one of the big challenges with dealing with them
0:11:11 > 0:11:17is that their composition can be altered chemically
0:11:17 > 0:11:22ever so slightly, and what happens is that governments are always playing
0:11:22 > 0:11:27catch-up if they try and actually classify them as illegal.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So people can get round that.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33And the use of them to get a quick fix can be devastating.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I think it's £5 a bag for a legal high
0:11:37 > 0:11:40and by the end of it, you end up in hospital.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I think there should definitely be an age limit where you've got to
0:11:43 > 0:11:48be at least maybe 20, or over 20, to buy these drugs, because people,
0:11:48 > 0:11:4915-year-olds, are buying them,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52and they're really hurting themselves from them
0:11:52 > 0:11:54because they don't know the effects of it.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Over 60 people died in the UK last year alone.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Many more suffered kidney, liver and brain damage,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03all as a result of legal highs.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Dealing with the dangerous effects these substances
0:12:05 > 0:12:08have on people is a problem the neighbourhood team are now
0:12:08 > 0:12:11confronting on the streets on a daily basis.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Today, in Hull city centre, a man has been spotted banging his head
0:12:14 > 0:12:17repeatedly in a telephone box.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21PCSO John Hamilton is concerned that drugs may be involved.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24What is that on there?
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- What's this?- It's a legal high. - It's a legal high, is it?- Yes.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Right, leave that there for now. Don't touch anything more.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Just come out of the telephone box for me.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43So, that stuff in there, you say it's a legal high, is it?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Yeah.- What is it?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47What's it called?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49HE MUMBLES
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- You what?- Zappy.- Zappy?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Where did you buy that from?
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Can you remember?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04The man suddenly becomes totally unresponsive.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06John radios in the situation.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10There is white powder all set out with stuff for snorting.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I feel...
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I feel like a... I feel like a supernatural being.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20When the man does speak he is garbled and disorientated.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- It's the drugs that are talking. - Is it?- Yes.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27I can't believe I'm... I can't believe I'm still standing.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I don't think I can get higher than this because I am
0:13:30 > 0:13:32so high I could go out for ever.
0:13:32 > 0:13:39HIS SPEECH SLOWS AND SLURS
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I feel like a supernatural being. I'm feel like I'm dead.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45My colleagues have just turned up now
0:13:45 > 0:13:48and they will have a quick word with you as well.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52John is waiting for backup to deal with the situation.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55You've got some legal highs with you, or something, have you?
0:13:55 > 0:13:59The man surrenders the substances to the police.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02The police decide to take him home to prevent him
0:14:02 > 0:14:04becoming a danger to himself.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07You can't stay here taking them
0:14:07 > 0:14:10because people are going to continue to ring us, aren't they?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It's going to continue to make you do strange things.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Fortunately, on this occasion, there were no serious consequences,
0:14:20 > 0:14:24but anyone taking legal highs is playing a risky roulette game
0:14:24 > 0:14:26whose outcome can be fatal.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36The drug he was taking is actually classified legal.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41However, it does state all over the packaging that it's not fit for human consumption.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46A lot of these legal highs are designed to be plant food,
0:14:46 > 0:14:51fertilisers, scents to be burnt, but people take them,
0:14:51 > 0:14:57which makes them do unusual, strange things, and it is very dangerous.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59The man was offered some help
0:14:59 > 0:15:02and support services to deal with his problem,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06but find out later what happens when the neighbourhood team go to
0:15:06 > 0:15:08a local college to give students a wake-up call
0:15:08 > 0:15:11about the dangers of legal highs.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Maintaining law and order remains part of the remit of all
0:15:22 > 0:15:24neighbourhood police teams.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Ensuring that communities are safe
0:15:26 > 0:15:29and crime free is always top of their agenda.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32And when high spirits run the risk of getting out of hand,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34the team are always fast to react.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39All across the country, a bank holiday is a time to kick back
0:15:39 > 0:15:42and relax for millions of hardworking families.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44And when the sun's out,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47where better to head than for a day out by the seaside?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50And today, the crowds are flocking to the popular
0:15:50 > 0:15:53towns of Cleethorpes and Grimsby.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Whilst the daytime has been uneventful, as night falls,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58many of the crowds remain,
0:15:58 > 0:16:03looking to enjoy the delights that the local pubs have to offer.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06You see a lot of drunks going up and down the high street here.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I just try and have a laugh over it,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11but I know it's a bit of a serious problem.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Very uncomfortable walking through a city centre after midnight.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17There are so many drunks about...
0:16:17 > 0:16:19You know, you just don't feel comfortable.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22There's always gangs of people, loud, shouting,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24you just don't know where you are.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28I would definitely not walk through the city centre at night...
0:16:28 > 0:16:30and I don't.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33You used to see a lot more people drinking on the streets.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35You still see...
0:16:35 > 0:16:39some people carrying cans around and maybe drinking,
0:16:39 > 0:16:41but it's not as noticeable as it was.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44If they're drunk and happy, and they're not being...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Yeah, if they're really drunk, sat on the street, puking up,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I don't think they should be arrested.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I don't think that. I think they should maybe be taken home...
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Yea, definitely. And maybe given a warning, saying,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56"If we find you like this again then we are going to do
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- "something about it." - But I think just...
0:16:58 > 0:17:01arresting people just like that is a bit...
0:17:01 > 0:17:03It's nice to give people a chance.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08But where alcohol is concerned, a good time can very easily turn bad.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Simon and Wendy are two of a team of 20 officers drafted in to
0:17:12 > 0:17:17make sure the bank holiday's evening celebrations don't get out of hand.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Because it's still early, only 7.15, just having a drive around the main
0:17:22 > 0:17:25areas where all the pubs are in Cleethorpes,
0:17:25 > 0:17:31just to see if anywhere's particularly busy. Erm...
0:17:31 > 0:17:35And then, later on, we can sort of deploy the staff accordingly.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38These pubs are usually quite busy, along here, in Cleethorpes.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Quite a lot of people in there as well.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44It's early May bank holiday, so...
0:17:44 > 0:17:46generally...
0:17:46 > 0:17:49the pubs and clubs are quite busy on the Sunday
0:17:49 > 0:17:51cos nobody's at work tomorrow.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54So people make quite a long weekend of it and go out drinking tonight.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Yeah, we'll just have a walk, I think,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01and see how busy places are before we go in for a briefing.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07A quick tour of the main drinking holes gives them
0:18:07 > 0:18:10an overview of the mood in town.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12How have things been today? All right?
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Right, have a good night, mate.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- Don't have too much more tonight, though.- No, I won't...- Good man.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Mate, take it easy. See you later, mate. See you.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Everyone seems in quite good spirits, really.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I would imagine quite a lot of those people will be going home quite soon.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I think they've had enough already.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33It's now back to the station for a quick brew and a briefing,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36before the team of 20 hit the town centres to patrol
0:18:36 > 0:18:38the pubs as darkness falls.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Right...
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Welcome, everyone. Most of town are quite well oiled.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46They've obviously been out watching the football all afternoon.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Grimsby Town have lost in the semifinal of the playoffs,
0:18:49 > 0:18:52if anybody didn't know that, which means,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55obviously, tempers might be a bit higher than usual.
0:18:55 > 0:19:01With the officers briefed, they split off into two teams of ten.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02As well as their local knowledge,
0:19:02 > 0:19:06they're also armed with another very useful policing tool tonight.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Basically, what these are, they're a red card
0:19:09 > 0:19:14and they're issued to a person if they're given a Section 27 notice.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18A Section 27 notice is issued to any person who we believe may be
0:19:18 > 0:19:21involved in drink-related disorder,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23either at the time or later on, so we can give them
0:19:23 > 0:19:27a direction to leave a specified area for a period of 48 hours.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32As the teams set off in convoy, they're not even out
0:19:32 > 0:19:36of the station when their first call for help comes in over the radio.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40There's been a call from some door staff in the marketplace
0:19:40 > 0:19:42in Cleethorpes.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46They've detained a male who's thrown a brick at a window...
0:19:46 > 0:19:47of a premises called the Fiddler,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50and the door staff have detained him just round the corner.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Arriving on the scene, they're greeted by the pub landlord.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00The suspect is already in cuffs.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Why have I been arrested?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Wey! Muppet!
0:20:09 > 0:20:10Do your thing, man.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Yo, do your thing.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16As the police piece together what happened,
0:20:16 > 0:20:20the suspect does himself few favours by hurling abuse at them.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Go- BLEEP- your mum, you- BLEEP.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Go- BLEEP- you mother.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28With the suspect carted off into custody...
0:20:31 > 0:20:35..the police investigate the scene of the crime.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Which window is it? - It's not a window, it's that.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Oh, right, OK. - And then that bit of wood's...
0:20:40 > 0:20:43The landlord describes how the attack unfolded.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45The gentleman was asked to leave the premises
0:20:45 > 0:20:48because he'd actually put two pool balls in his pocket,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I took the pool balls off him, he was asked to leave, he left.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55And when he left, he went off, come back,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58picked a brick up and lobbed it at the door.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01And the unruly incident has left more than
0:21:01 > 0:21:03a few of the regulars shaken by what's happened.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06To be honest with you, it was a bit scary because, like I say,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08the restaurant bit's been open all afternoon,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11and if there was a bystander sat in there, it would have gone through,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13it would have hit the bystander.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18The town is monitored by a network of CCTV cameras and a call is
0:21:18 > 0:21:22put in by Simon to find out if the suspect was caught in the act.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Confirm it has been captured or hasn't.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Ah, excellent.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34We'll make some enquiries with them and get the footage off them.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37The team are in luck. The whole incident was filmed,
0:21:37 > 0:21:41and the CCTV team have managed to locate the footage,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43making for a useful piece of evidence in court.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49With once incident attended to, the team move on with their patrol,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51but find out later what happens
0:21:51 > 0:21:54when drink gets the better of one group of lads...
0:21:57 > 0:21:59..and leads to a violent assault.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08It's been a quiet day for the team
0:22:08 > 0:22:11until a 999 call comes through from worried witnesses,
0:22:11 > 0:22:15concerned they've glimpsed a potential kidnapping in process.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Nikki Cammis is the first officer on the scene,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21but she gets a surprise when she sees the witnesses.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25There's a woman in the front and she had taped hands.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- How old was the woman? - Maybe late 30s.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31What did she look like?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- She had dark hair.- Dark brown.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Like your colour hair.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39They're describing...
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Nikki phones in the suspect's details
0:22:41 > 0:22:43to avoid losing precious time.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47This van's passed them towards B&Q and the vehicle's passed them
0:22:47 > 0:22:48in the opposite direction.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51So they were heading that way, out of town?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54They were going over the B&Q bridge, so I presume...
0:22:54 > 0:22:56THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:22:56 > 0:22:58A potential breakthrough's on the cards
0:22:58 > 0:23:02when it appears the young lad recognises the van.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- And then... - THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:23:06 > 0:23:10But is this clue too good to be true?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- You're confident? - I'm certain it was him.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17One of these kids is saying that they recognise this van.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21The station sergeant wonders if they kids are winding the police up.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Should their story be taken with a pinch of salt?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Or is there a grain of truth to it? Nikki presses harder.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Why do you think it's a woman who lives near you?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Cos it was the same...
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Undaunted, the lad sticks to his guns.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- He is convinced about what he saw. - I've seen that person as well.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Nikki's now increasingly confident that this lad's no Pinocchio.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- You can go home now. - Are we all right?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Basically, we've had a call from the kids that we've just seen,
0:23:49 > 0:23:52stating that as they've been walking over that hill,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55a little blue van's gone past them
0:23:55 > 0:23:58and inside they've seen a young female, mid-30s,
0:23:58 > 0:24:01that's been tied up with tape across the mouth,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04and the male driver shouting at her.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Erm... One of the kids thinks it's a vehicle he recognises that
0:24:08 > 0:24:11lives on his local street, so we're heading there now.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Two other police units have been dispatched
0:24:14 > 0:24:18and have already recced the situation. Nobody's home.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22The blue van is parked and nothing seems amiss,
0:24:22 > 0:24:27but it turns out there is a second blue van registered to the suspect.
0:24:27 > 0:24:301-5, I'm sat outside and there is a blue vehicle on the drive
0:24:30 > 0:24:31matching the description.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34However, the other patrol that tried to get in is wanting to tell you
0:24:34 > 0:24:35that this vehicle is cold,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38and then a neighbour's told us that he's got two blue vehicles.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40The one we think we're looking for is not here.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Nikki calls the children back to test their story again.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46You said you saw her hands, but she was obviously in the vehicle
0:24:46 > 0:24:50and you were walking, so how did you see her hands?
0:24:50 > 0:24:51How were you able to see her hands?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Where are you now?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58And I'm coming back to speak to you.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Wait there for me, I'm coming. Bye.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Nikki is hoping that, by talking to the children again,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06she may get to the bottom of this mystery.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It's not really a case about getting more details -
0:25:09 > 0:25:11it's more about clarifying some points with them...
0:25:11 > 0:25:13that the sergeant wants clarifying.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16The sergeant has doubts or...
0:25:16 > 0:25:18We have to suppose every avenue, I suppose.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21And one of these avenues is, are these children lying
0:25:21 > 0:25:23and have they made it up?
0:25:23 > 0:25:27But despite being given a tough line of questioning by Nikki...
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Do you know the difference between truth and lies?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31..they will not change their story.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34If I said there was an elephant in that parking space behind me,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- what would I have just done? ALL:- Lied.- Yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39And what do you think happens when people lie?
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Why do you think people lie?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Yeah?- For attention. - Sometimes, yeah.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48OK.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53So it's really important, then, that you tell me the truth.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55We are telling the truth. I swear.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Either's there a major incident happening
0:25:57 > 0:25:59or a hoax is now causing mayhem.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Either way, it's a serious matter.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03We were all thinking it might be for a joke,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06but if that's a joke, it's a really sick joke to pull.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09But from my point of view, a vehicle's passing you,
0:26:09 > 0:26:13takes a couple of seconds to pass. From what you're telling me,
0:26:13 > 0:26:17you've seen a lot of stuff in that couple of seconds,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- which is fine if that's what you've seen.- She just...
0:26:20 > 0:26:23There's no camouflaging the children's distress,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26and their story seems watertight.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29We just saw her taped up, panicking really badly...
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- And him shouting. - Like, that's... That's the basic...
0:26:34 > 0:26:36That's what we saw.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40I've honestly got four upset kids here.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44I get you've seen the other side, but they really are upset.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Then a call comes through.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Other officers have finally spoken to the van owner.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Guys, listen, I'm so sorry you've had to experience this,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56but the officers have spoken to the people in the van
0:26:56 > 0:26:59and they're saying it was a practical joke.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02She tied him to the steering wheel or something earlier on...
0:27:02 > 0:27:03It's not funny, darling,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05and I'm going to go back up and speak with them,
0:27:05 > 0:27:08and explain just how upset you actually are.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Cos the officers that have spoken with them didn't realise...
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- So it was the right person?- Yeah. Yeah, it was right, darling.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Not surprisingly, the comedy is lost on Nikki and the children.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23I'm going to go back up now and tell them off, and explain to them just...
0:27:23 > 0:27:24I expect better from adults.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I know, but everybody would have seen it and stuff, so I don't...
0:27:27 > 0:27:29And please don't think that I was doubting you,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31but it's my job to doubt people.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34And you did the right thing to ring it in, all right?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37And, unfortunately, there is stupid adults around
0:27:37 > 0:27:39that haven't got anything better to do.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- That all right, everyone? See you later.- Bye.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46The children may be vindicated,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48but Nikki's not finished with the matter.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51She's got the pranksters in her sights now.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Hiya, it's just the police.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Can I ask if we can have a quick chat
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- about what's just happened? - Yeah.- Thank you.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02They're clearly a pair of jokers - that's the only way to put it.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04They're just a pair of jokers and they still see the funny side.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07And as much as she's also got a ten-year-old herself
0:28:07 > 0:28:10and she understands how children may have perceived the incident,
0:28:10 > 0:28:12she thinks that people should be allowed to have a laugh,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15and that's fine. But it's not every day you go
0:28:15 > 0:28:18and pass somebody that's got masking tape around their mouth.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19We're going to deal with this
0:28:19 > 0:28:21as what we call a community resolution.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I'm going to bring the children up next week
0:28:23 > 0:28:27and they can apologise to them cos they caused them genuine fear...
0:28:27 > 0:28:30for no need at all. Just for the... For their own fun.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31So now they can say sorry.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37The children involved in reporting the suspected kidnapping
0:28:37 > 0:28:40were congratulated by the police for their clear and concise
0:28:40 > 0:28:44approach to describing what could have been a serious crime.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53As people start living in more densely populated areas,
0:28:53 > 0:28:57the police find themselves dealing with an increased number of complaints.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Some of these problems arise when neighbours fail to get along
0:29:00 > 0:29:04and find themselves in a dispute that only the law can now resolve.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Over in Bridlington, PC Nikki Cammis has been involved with two
0:29:09 > 0:29:13neighbours who have literally had a falling out over the garden fence.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15It's difficult to say how I can lose.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17A dispute over a boundary line
0:29:17 > 0:29:20and a right of way has lasted over two years
0:29:20 > 0:29:23and has generated numerous headaches for the parties involved.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26He's bought the plot of land. Since he moved in two years ago,
0:29:26 > 0:29:28it's been one thing after another.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Mr Rhodes and Mr Walker.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Despite the police trying to mediate between the two men,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40the case has now ended up in court.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44But will the judge fall on the side of Mr Rhodes or Mr Walker?
0:29:44 > 0:29:46We're about to find out.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Won on all accounts.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Mr Rhodes' thumbs-up says it all...
0:29:53 > 0:29:56and his relief is evident.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Well, I'm very pleased with how it all went,
0:29:58 > 0:30:02and Mr Walker was shown, once again, what sort of person he is.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Mr Walker is understandably downbeat at the ruling
0:30:05 > 0:30:08and at the expensive legal costs he will now face.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13And I think, well, really, the judge has ignored all the major things
0:30:13 > 0:30:17and he's just given 1½ foot of our land away.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Mr Rhodes has an emotional statement to make.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I'd like to thank my family and friends...
0:30:23 > 0:30:26HE SOBS
0:30:26 > 0:30:31..and my solicitors for their help and support they have given me.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36And for the police, as of late, they've been a great support.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40And...I'd just like to go and get a cup of tea.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42LAUGHTER
0:30:44 > 0:30:48For a neighbourhood dispute to end up in a costly court visit is
0:30:48 > 0:30:51never in the interests of anyone involved,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54which is why the neighbourhood police teams always try to
0:30:54 > 0:30:57resolve any falling out through mediation.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Mr Rhodes won the case.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06The boundary between the properties was clearly defined.
0:31:08 > 0:31:14Mr Walker must pay £7,115 for reinstatement of land,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16losses and interference.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19He was also ordered to pay legal costs.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28It's the May Day bank holiday, and the seaside towns of Grimsby
0:31:28 > 0:31:31and Cleethorpes have seen the pubs packed out with revellers
0:31:31 > 0:31:35looking to make the most of the extended weekend.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36We love Cleethorpes.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40A team of 20 neighbourhood officers are out on patrol to ensure
0:31:40 > 0:31:41any merriment is kept in check.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Got to go. Got to go. That's the state of play
0:31:43 > 0:31:46in Cleethorpes at the moment - busy but jovial.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49But as last orders are being called,
0:31:49 > 0:31:51the boys in blue know that as revellers spill out
0:31:51 > 0:31:55onto the streets, so too can trouble.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Spirits are running high,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00and Simon and the team are happy to show their support to the public,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02who are enjoying themselves.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07I know I'm getting old now because I don't like this music any more.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Put a bit of Bruce Springsteen on or something like that.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Whilst most are intent on having a good time, there's one
0:32:14 > 0:32:18group of lads looking for trouble, and Simon is first on the scene.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20SHOUTING
0:32:26 > 0:32:29There appears to have been an altercation between two men,
0:32:29 > 0:32:32so the officers separate them to find out what happened.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Off we go.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36SHOUTING
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- What's going on? - I was upstairs and some guy...
0:32:40 > 0:32:44And it's not just the lads who are in hot water.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45Oi!
0:32:45 > 0:32:48You're going to get yourself locked up if you don't disappear now...
0:32:48 > 0:32:50or you'll get yourself locked up.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- I have- BLEEP...
0:32:53 > 0:32:56It's a case of handbags at midnight.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I've left my jacket on the top floor - that's all I'm after.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Well, there's no need to do that, or you get yourself locked up,
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- do you understand? - Simon tries to calm the situation.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09He asks security staff exactly who was involved in the drunken ruckus.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Who's done what? Or do we just want rid of them?
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Just get rid of them, yeah.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- No-one's made any complaints? - We just want rid.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21So who is it? There's that kid there and his missus, they need to go.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- What about...? Is this kid...? - Yeah.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25The hope is everyone can be sent home with
0:33:25 > 0:33:29a Section 27 dispersal order, instead of to the cells.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32But just as this situation is contained,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35another reaches flashpoint just down the road,
0:33:35 > 0:33:37meaning Simon is on the move again.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41SHOUTING
0:33:41 > 0:33:43It's another brawl,
0:33:43 > 0:33:47but this time the suspect isn't going down without a fight.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50The man is wrestled to the ground, as the team around him
0:33:50 > 0:33:52try to find out what happened.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56SHOUTING
0:33:56 > 0:33:58You're under arrest, all right?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00What's the score with this kid, here?
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- He had to be dragged out by about six bouncers.- For nothing.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05I was trying to get a drink.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08A moment later, another lad, who is bleeding badly,
0:34:08 > 0:34:09staggers out onto the pavement
0:34:09 > 0:34:14and the police can see he came off worse for wear in this scrap.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16The boy needs an ambulance.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Whereabouts have you just come from?
0:34:23 > 0:34:26As officers provide on-the-spot medical assistance
0:34:26 > 0:34:28waiting for the paramedics to arrive,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30the suspect is questioned.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35I tried to calm it down all night, tried to calm it down.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37And then he come up to me, barged me in the back,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40so I grabbed hold of him and said, "Who you barging?"
0:34:40 > 0:34:43He threw three punches at me before I retaliated.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45He threw three punches at me and then,
0:34:45 > 0:34:46as soon as he threw the third punch,
0:34:46 > 0:34:50I retaliated, and that's when the bouncer grabbed hold of me.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Which you...
0:34:52 > 0:34:55And if you check on the CCTV, you'll see exactly what happened.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Mate, just put your hands behind your back.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Oh, I'm getting arrested.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04At the end of the day, that's what we're here to find out -
0:35:04 > 0:35:08what the truth is. Somebody said that's he's assaulted somebody,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10so that's why he's under arrest.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- You're going to arrest him?- Yes. - For the night?- Yes.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Despite his partner's protests, the man is arrested
0:35:17 > 0:35:18and taken into custody.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22But hang on a minute.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Let's have a quick replay of the start of the ruckus.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Look at the footage again. No, you're not seeing double.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32It's a classic case of mistaken identity.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Remember the lad who was originally arrested?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Well, look, he's got the same haircut
0:35:36 > 0:35:39and wearing a similar T-shirt to the suspect who's just been
0:35:39 > 0:35:41bundled into the police van.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Right, what's this kid done?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47To be honest, I think he's a witness.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- I've done nothing.- At the moment...
0:35:49 > 0:35:54I've locked up the other kid in the white T-shirt, who's quite muscly,
0:35:54 > 0:35:57and I think he's the one who's slotted...
0:35:57 > 0:35:58He said he slotted him.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00He said that the guy we've got?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- So we're getting his details as a witness.- Yes.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05This lad is completely innocent and let go on the spot without
0:36:05 > 0:36:09change, and turns from suspect to a valuable witness.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12But as police talk to other witnesses and security staff,
0:36:12 > 0:36:15it becomes apparent that another person was involved in the assault.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21- Who assaulted him? - That lad in the van...- The bald lad.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Bald man.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26The police are now looking for a man with a shaved head.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30He's been involved in it,
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I don't know how he's been involved with it,
0:36:33 > 0:36:36but he's got blood on him. I don't want him back in the venue.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39I've got one lad in the van already,
0:36:39 > 0:36:42but they're saying that he's also involved.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44A suspect fitting the description
0:36:44 > 0:36:46is promptly rounded up and arrested.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Oh, you're joking!
0:36:49 > 0:36:51I haven't done owt, mate.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54I stopped the fight and that was it.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55- Don't- BLEEP- speak to me like that.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01This man is the 12th person arrested in the space of four hours,
0:37:01 > 0:37:04but the groundwork Simon and the team did at the start of the night
0:37:04 > 0:37:08has paid dividends in ensuring law and order was maintained.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Right, we're off back to Grimsby police station.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17We've got two prisoners for an assault.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19The victim's gone off to hospital.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22He looks like he's got quite nasty facial injuries,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24so we've got two males in custody for that
0:37:24 > 0:37:26and we're just going to book them in
0:37:26 > 0:37:28for that at the police station now.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32It's been a night of mash-ups and lock-ups for the team.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34But as they do one last sweep of the streets,
0:37:34 > 0:37:39there's one more local they need to deal with.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Hold on, guys. Can one of you just pop out
0:37:41 > 0:37:43and check this guy that's laid on the floor?
0:37:43 > 0:37:47Yeah, just jump out for us. He's laid on the pavement there, look.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52Hopefully, he's just drunk and having a sleep.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53You all right, mate?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56You all right?
0:37:56 > 0:37:57What's your name?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59What you doing on the floor?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Have you? You can't lay down here, can you?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06You going to get up? Get up. Let's have a go.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Going to stop at my sister's tonight.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12- You're comfortable walking, yeah? - I think so.- You sure?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Got to go...- Flag a taxi down.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16You can't lay on the floor, though.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18I can't. I've got about three quid on me.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Right. Well, we're not a taxi service, are we?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- I know you're not, but... Did me best.- If you come out,
0:38:23 > 0:38:26you've got to make sure you save enough money to get home.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Don't lay out on the floor cos someone will run over you
0:38:29 > 0:38:32when they pull up, won't they? All right?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Take care of yourself. - See you later.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43He's on his way, he looks more stable,
0:38:43 > 0:38:47and I'm sure he'll get home safe. There you go.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51This May Day mayhem-maker was found guilty of criminal damage
0:38:51 > 0:38:53by the magistrates' court.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56These scrappers were not arrested.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Oh, I'm getting arrested.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06These two bruisers are both on police bail...
0:39:06 > 0:39:08pending further investigation.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20So-called legal highs are chemical compounds that claim to
0:39:20 > 0:39:23simulate the effects of drugs such as ecstasy.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26I am so high, I could...
0:39:26 > 0:39:30HIS SPEECH SLURS AND SLOWS
0:39:30 > 0:39:33But the evidence is that they can be deadly,
0:39:33 > 0:39:36and the neighbourhood teams have been working hard to try
0:39:36 > 0:39:39and educate the public as to their danger.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Today, the team are about to take part in a very eye-catching stunt.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Only the principal and the head of the students' union
0:39:46 > 0:39:48are in on the act.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49Hi, Barry, you all right?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52We think we've got a student in possession of drugs.
0:39:52 > 0:39:57We think he's in the cafeteria. Go and have a look.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03CHATTER
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- Come and have a look at the far end.- OK, yeah.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- We've received information that you're possibly in possession of drugs.- OK.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14That means that I'm going to search you under
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act. OK?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- This is Sergeant May, I'm PC Hays, OK?- Mm-hm.
0:40:20 > 0:40:25- Are you known to the police at all? - No, I'm not.- OK.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28The police do a thorough search of the student in front
0:40:28 > 0:40:32of his classmates. There's no privacy here...
0:40:33 > 0:40:36..not even when the search turns up trumps.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- Connor, what are these? - They're... They're legal highs.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- Legal highs. And what do they actually contain?- I don't know.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46OK, and why have you got legal highs on you?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- Because I'm selling them. - You're selling them. OK.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52So what has my colleague recovered from your sock, Connor?
0:40:52 > 0:40:56- Erm... That's cannabis. - All right. OK.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00- Even though you said you didn't have anything on you?- Yeah.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02I'm now arresting you for possession of cannabis,
0:41:02 > 0:41:05which is a Class B controlled drug.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09I'm also arresting you on suspicion of possession of a controlled
0:41:09 > 0:41:14- drug with intent to supply. - School's out for this student,
0:41:14 > 0:41:17as the police station replaces afternoon lessons.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Mind your head when you get in.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23But all is not quite what it seems...
0:41:23 > 0:41:26for the young man is guilty of nothing more
0:41:26 > 0:41:28than teaming up with the police.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31The stop, search and arrest have all been faked.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34It's now time for the cuffs to come off.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- We've not brought a key. - THEY LAUGH
0:41:36 > 0:41:38There's no key.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40This is quite uncomfortable, really.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43You were shaking.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48Dozens of students filmed the staged arrest on their phones and the
0:41:48 > 0:41:52whole incident went viral, getting thousands of hits on YouTube.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54We saw them taking photos as well.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56There was two or three, just to the right-hand side,
0:41:56 > 0:41:58as we walked in and started searching Connor.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01They all got their mobiles out and started pictures of us.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03It proper scared us. We weren't expecting it at all.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05The police and the principal were running around.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07It was a massive rush.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09There was staff and there was cameras and there...
0:42:09 > 0:42:10It was all a bit daunting.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13It was during lunchtime, so there was a lot of people around...
0:42:13 > 0:42:16And everyone was asking questions, "What's going on?"
0:42:16 > 0:42:18We had the idea of a legal highs week,
0:42:18 > 0:42:22which we'd have events like the arrest and other things,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24to promote maybe...
0:42:24 > 0:42:27the idea of legal highs and how they can be dangerous.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31The experiences we've had, certainly in the North Lincolnshire area,
0:42:31 > 0:42:33is young people can use legal highs,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36and sometimes it's just get that message out about
0:42:36 > 0:42:40the dangers associated with them and the problems that they can cause,
0:42:40 > 0:42:41and what better place than a college?
0:42:41 > 0:42:44It's really good cos the college are actually leading on it
0:42:44 > 0:42:46and have asked us to be involved.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49To think, if something like that happens, it is quite daunting.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52You don't realise how something like that is quite
0:42:52 > 0:42:54so serious as what it is.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57That was my first altercation with the police and, hopefully,
0:42:57 > 0:42:59it won't happen again.
