0:00:02 > 0:00:04Neighbourhood policing has come a long way since the days
0:00:04 > 0:00:05of 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.
0:00:14 > 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 > 0:00:25and formulate fast-action plans to take down the criminals.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28- 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 > 0:00:41as they tackle the problems blighting local people...
0:00:41 > 0:00:42No, I don't care!
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Eh, eh, eh!
0:00:44 > 0:00:49..and rise to the challenge of making the streets a safer place.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17Coming up... The sticky-fingered thief who gets taken to Task.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- To be honest, mate... - I'm doing me job, fella.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I'm not a stupid little lad.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27The cops make a man-sized cat flap to raid a suspected drug abuser.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And a night out on the town leads to a run-in with some locals.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Y'all are not from around here,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36you're from Beverly, I know that for a fact.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37No, you don't know that for a fact.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Yeah, I do, cos you're a Beverly copper.- No, I'm not a Beverly copper.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Police forces across the country have been challenged by the public
0:01:48 > 0:01:51that they are not doing enough to tackle local crime
0:01:51 > 0:01:53and get criminals off the streets where they live.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56The police have responded by establishing new teams
0:01:56 > 0:01:58of neighbourhood police officers.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01These are bobbies who are getting back to basics.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04It is a great idea and principle, but the big question is -
0:02:04 > 0:02:05does it work?
0:02:08 > 0:02:09The bobby on the beat.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12It's a reassuring sight for many people who are tired
0:02:12 > 0:02:15of their community being downtrodden by crime.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19And the neighbourhood team are there for justice at every turn.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21As a veteran of neighbourhood policing,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Chief Inspector Lee Edwards has witnessed first-hand
0:02:24 > 0:02:27the difference neighbourhood policing makes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30They really provide the structure around which our neighbourhood
0:02:30 > 0:02:34policing has grown up and become so strong.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37This kind of dedication to the job runs throughout the force,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40and every single officer who signs up to do community policing
0:02:40 > 0:02:43relishes the challenge each new day brings,
0:02:43 > 0:02:44including Jason Turner.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45You get quite attached to it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48You get quite passionate when something happens on your patch.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51You really want to give sort of like a good service.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52You know, I've worked the area eight years.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I've been offered the chance to go work nearer, you know,
0:02:56 > 0:03:00nearer my home. I travel sort of like 30 miles to, uh...to get here.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- But I do love the area. - Plus he's got a good beat manager.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06HE LAUGHS
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Yeah, you can't do enough for a good gaffer.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15And the challenge today is a familiar one - following a tip-off
0:03:15 > 0:03:17about suspicions of possible cannabis cultivation
0:03:17 > 0:03:19in a residential area.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Dave Mackinder and the team are on their way to investigate.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25It appears as though the occupant perhaps vacated this address a few
0:03:25 > 0:03:28months ago and has gone to live with his girlfriend around the corner.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30But still pays the rent on it.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33So if that's the case, we could potentially find
0:03:33 > 0:03:37anything from a handful of plants to a house full.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40As the rest of the team surround the house to make sure no-one
0:03:40 > 0:03:43tries to cut and run, Dave gives the door a knock,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46hoping to rattle anyone inside.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48If anyone's home, they're not answering.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Yeah, it smells.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Police, anybody home, come to the door, please!
0:03:56 > 0:03:59An extra piece of intelligence has suggested that the tenant is
0:03:59 > 0:04:01currently staying at the house around the corner,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04so whilst a couple of officers stand guard at the suspicious
0:04:04 > 0:04:08property, Dave musters the rest of the team to pay the other
0:04:08 > 0:04:09house a neighbourly call.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Morning, how are we doing? - All right, fine.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I'm trying to get a hold of a chap who I think is your boyfriend.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Do you know where he is at the moment?- Yeah, he's here.- He's here.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Can I have a word?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27And this time, Dave's in luck.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30After having a word with the man, he comes with the police
0:04:30 > 0:04:35and gives them consent to enter the house, and offers up his door key.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38By signing there, you're consenting to us having a search.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41You can withdraw your consent at any time, OK?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Whether he has anything to hide remains to be seen.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47At least he won't be needing a new front door.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Once inside, an overpowering smell hits the team.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54And Dave makes a b-line upstairs.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59He finds a mini nursery growing plants -
0:04:59 > 0:05:02some ready for cropping, others little more than seedlings.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08You could smell it through the letter box when we first came.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13And...and as you get closer, the smell...the smell increases.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15It may not look as though there's much there,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18but there's certainly anywhere between £2,000
0:05:18 > 0:05:23and £3,000 worth of cannabis on those plants, at street value.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25This isn't obviously something that's just happened overnight,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27it's been done over a period of time.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31And, um, this particular chap has voiced concerns that he might
0:05:31 > 0:05:34lose his job if he ends up with a criminal conviction for this.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38That's the chance you take when you commit an offence.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41You've got the rest of your lives to look back and think,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43"I wish I hadn't done that."
0:05:43 > 0:05:46But obviously, this has gone on for a period of time,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48and he's had all that time to think.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50"Am I really doing the right thing here
0:05:50 > 0:05:52"and what happens if I get caught?"
0:05:52 > 0:05:56So unfortunately for him, that's the consequences of his actions.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Crime scene investigators are soon on the scene
0:05:59 > 0:06:02and photograph the evidence before turning it over to the
0:06:02 > 0:06:04neighbourhood team to dismantle the operation
0:06:04 > 0:06:07and confiscate the drugs for destruction.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10We've got all the exhibits together.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14We've got a couple of plants that we sent off for forensic analysis.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16The remainder of the plants we'll just bag up,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20and they'll get sent away for incineration at a later date.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24And obviously, there's exhibits here that surely prove
0:06:24 > 0:06:28the production of the cannabis - the cultivation equipment, basically.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Back at the station,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33the man admitted full responsibility for the cannabis farm.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37He was formally cautioned by police for possession
0:06:37 > 0:06:39and production of cannabis.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Though this allows him to avoid a criminal conviction,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45it does go on his police record.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48The neighbourhood team continue their high-profile
0:06:48 > 0:06:52assault on anyone in the region suspected of cultivating cannabis.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Neighbourhood policing is all about heading off trouble before it
0:07:06 > 0:07:07can escalate,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09whether it is in a major city centre,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12a suburban street or a small market town.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I think people are just more unpredictable these days.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Whereas you might get a bit of abuse or people being a bit loud
0:07:19 > 0:07:22when they come out of the club, now they are more likely to be physical
0:07:22 > 0:07:25and not know the boundaries and not stop at what they are doing.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28People have the right to pass up and down the streets without
0:07:28 > 0:07:31being affected by that kind of disorderly behaviour.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Yeah, I think probably drinking is on the rise.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I know binge drinking, for example,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40is a bigger problem than it used to be.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I think alcohol is a lot more accessible to young people
0:07:43 > 0:07:44these days.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49And as a natural turn of events, you will get more drunkenness
0:07:49 > 0:07:52and antisocial behaviour at the weekends.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55With just over 13,000 people,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Driffield is a fraction of the size of Hull,
0:07:58 > 0:08:01but police use the same principles when it comes to keeping
0:08:01 > 0:08:05weekend drinkers and potential antisocial behaviour in check.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07It is all about sharing information,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10making sure the police have a visible presence on the streets
0:08:10 > 0:08:14and diffusing tension before things turn serious.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Driffield, afters and pubs, you know, that can stay up till,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20you know, two, three in the morning.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22There is no nightclubs as such.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Um...
0:08:23 > 0:08:26You know, it's a farming, market town.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Um...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31You know, there's some nice places to come and eat and drink
0:08:31 > 0:08:32and, you know, it's a good...
0:08:32 > 0:08:35You know, for a good night out, you know, Driffield is very good.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37We was talking to one of the door staff.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40He said last night, you know, the place was very quiet,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43but they had some people who he believed were from out of town,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46and they are the ones that caused the, you know, problems.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50You know, so, you know, the place could be heaving and, you know,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52there's no issues and, you know,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55you could get the issues just with two or three people.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58So you just never know, you know, when it can happen, really.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Now then, you all right?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Richard Bastiman checks in with Driffield's doorman
0:09:03 > 0:09:06and licensees to see how the night is shaping up and check
0:09:06 > 0:09:09if there's anything that needs to be nipped in the bud.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- No problems or anything?- Yeah, no.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Pub Watch is a joint venture between pubs,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19police and the Council that uses monthly meetings
0:09:19 > 0:09:21and fast-response phone calls to keep each other
0:09:21 > 0:09:24informed about potential problem drinkers.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26If there was an incident, say, in this pub,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28they use, like, a ring-round system,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30where this pub will ring the next pub
0:09:30 > 0:09:34and then the next pub will ring the next pub on the list,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37and then explain to them, you know, what incident has occurred
0:09:37 > 0:09:39and describe, you know,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42the possible offenders to make them aware of it as well.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44ALL: Bye!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Good night, enjoy yourselves.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Inside, everyone is enjoying themselves this evening,
0:09:52 > 0:09:54but Richard has spotted an argument between two men,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57and one of them is already the worse for wear.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Y'all are not from around here,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00you're from Beverly, I know that for a fact.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02No, you don't know that for a fact.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Yeah, I do, cos you're a Beverly copper.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- No, I'm not a Beverly copper.- Yeah, you are.- Anyway, beside the point.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- We're just talking.- All right. Well, keep walking that way, then.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Keep walking that way.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16He didn't go in.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Go on, fellow, cos you're drunk, right,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- and you're going to cause problems. - No, I'm not.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24You're going to go home, you're going to leave the area now.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26All right, fella, I'm pushing you
0:10:26 > 0:10:28because I want you out of the way, right?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30So you're going to leave the area now, all right?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Otherwise, you're going to get locked up, simple as that.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35So leave the area now.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- What's that? Why?- Cos you don't want to deal with me.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41All right, go away.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45With the man reluctant to go home, he is given formal notice to
0:10:45 > 0:10:47leave the area and not return for 48 hours.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Now we're going to take your details
0:10:49 > 0:10:52and we're going to legally make you leave the area.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54All this says is, I've spoken to you tonight
0:10:54 > 0:10:56and asked you to leave, nothing more than that.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58But just then, another man arrives.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59- MAN:- What's happening?
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- I was talking to Russ again.- I'll explain to you what's happened.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Right. He was having a bit of an argument with a guy down there,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12right, and he's drunk, so I have instructed the door staff not
0:11:12 > 0:11:14to let him in, because of the potential of causing problems.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16All right?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19So he is now going to go home. So...
0:11:19 > 0:11:21But he needs to go in the next five minutes.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- I'll take him.- All right, no worries. Cheers, thanks a lot.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28As the drunken man is escorted away,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Richard is free to carry on his patrol and talk to the locals,
0:11:31 > 0:11:35keeping an eye on the good-humoured revellers in town.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I've been involved in a couple of fights,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39but I've never ended up with any scars.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44HE YELLS
0:11:44 > 0:11:46It's mental in Driffield, it's mental!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49There's no particular clubs, but there's two places you can
0:11:49 > 0:11:53go till 3:30, which is a perfectly good time to drink till.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54You get too much drink...
0:11:54 > 0:11:57They want to fight. But overall,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00like, the vast majority of people aren't interested in fighting.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- RADIO:- 'It's slightly broken, due to the wind,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04'just confirm your location.'
0:12:04 > 0:12:07But the drunken man's ignored the offer of help
0:12:07 > 0:12:10and refused to comply with the Section 27 warning already
0:12:10 > 0:12:13issued, so now he'll have to be arrested.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18- All right, guys...- Oh, look, there's a camera, because you're a- BLEEP!
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Let's just deal with him and then we'll come and talk to you.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23BLEEP, BLEEP!
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Shall we take him over to John, then? - Yeah, yeah, that's great.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- I wouldn't- BLEEP- if I were you. - Thanks, mate.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I have got your glasses.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41He thinks he is a hard man.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42- Right.- Simple as.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I mean, obviously, you have to appreciate that he was issued
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- with the Section 27 dispersal order. - I tried to get him off.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Yeah, I know you did, because you was walking away with him.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55So, obviously, he is now under arrest for breach of that.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Returning to the station, the man has got an opportunity to
0:12:59 > 0:13:03reflect on matters and sober up a bit. But by the time he gets
0:13:03 > 0:13:06out of the van, he is singing a very different tune.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Now, that's fine, don't worry. Let's get you in.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16The man was cautioned for breaching his Section 27 dispersal notice,
0:13:16 > 0:13:17but all in all,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20it was another successful shift for the neighbourhood police
0:13:20 > 0:13:24officers, so that a good night out can be enjoyed by all.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Coming up...
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Get your engines in the ready as we find out how a Humberside
0:13:29 > 0:13:33scheme is going full throttle to keep youngsters on track.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37If I wasn't go-carting, I'd probably be getting in trouble.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39So it's keeping me out of trouble.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47The neighbourhood team often have to make tough calls in difficult
0:13:47 > 0:13:49situations in a bid to reduce crime,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53but as well as responding to calls for help about individual
0:13:53 > 0:13:56problems, their close ties with the community allows them
0:13:56 > 0:13:58to build up a database of intelligence,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01which enables them to tackle broader crimes.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05In the battle against drugs,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09neighbourhood policing is always ready to pursue tip-offs,
0:14:09 > 0:14:13intelligence and community concerns about possible drug
0:14:13 > 0:14:14abuse in the area.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Today, Sergeant Mick Stevenson is ready to act on just such
0:14:18 > 0:14:19information.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25We've got a warrant to execute this morning for a class B drug -
0:14:25 > 0:14:26an amphetamine.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27We have to get all kitted up,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31though, because it will be a rapid entry, so it will be a case...
0:14:31 > 0:14:34If the door is not unlocked, it will be a case of forcing the door.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Mick briefs the team,
0:14:37 > 0:14:41flagging up some of the possible hotspots in the upcoming search.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44This morning, we're going to do a warrant.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47And the suggestion is that they are both using amphetamines.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Dave, Randy, they can do the front door.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Mitch, you can drive the big van for us.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00The ten-man team mobilise for the morning raid.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04With surprise crucial, there is a selection of battering rams
0:15:04 > 0:15:06and forced entry equipment on hand.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Discovering the door is locked,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16the police are empowered to make a forced entry.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24When the lock won't give immediately, the officers
0:15:24 > 0:15:27punch a hole in the bottom panel to avoid losing precious time.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Police, stay where you are!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42The cat flap option does the trick.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Anybody else in the house other than you two?- No-one.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56The woman is taken downstairs for questioning,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58while police handcuff the young man.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Right, let's take you downstairs and then we'll decide
0:16:01 > 0:16:04if there's anything you need to be brought into custody for.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Mick clarifies why the morning lie-in has been shattered.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10We'd like to give you the warrant under the Misuse Of Drugs Act.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11All right?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Entry achieved,
0:16:13 > 0:16:18the debris is cleared away and an extensive search can get under way.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23She's saying there's nothing in the house, but they'll now do a search,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26get our breath back and we'll see if there is or there isn't.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34But almost immediately,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36the woman has a confession to make
0:16:36 > 0:16:38about drugs hidden in her make-up bag.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42This is what she reckons was an amphetamine.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50It's really powdery, crystal-y.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Yeah, it is.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Though forthcoming about being in the possession of drugs,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03the woman is much shyer when it comes to admitting her age.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Thank you.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Just confirm your date of birth again for me as well, please.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10So why does your passport say '64?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I have no idea.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16When were you born, 1964 or 1974?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- You was born in '64?- Yeah.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23The police search even extends to the playhouse in the garden,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25but nothing else is found.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30The Wendy house turns up totally clean.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Back inside, the search uncovers something rather unusual
0:17:40 > 0:17:41in the wardrobe.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44There, as you can see, are two little stalks.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46They don't look like they've been in the ground very long
0:17:46 > 0:17:48or in there for very long.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51They were situated in those planters in there, which,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54as you can see, has got a light rigged up to it.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Whilst the police might suspect bad behaviour having taken place
0:18:00 > 0:18:03at the house, they are sure of one thing -
0:18:03 > 0:18:06the dodgy electric wiring has been rigged up.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Where's the electric metre?
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Yeah, that looks bad.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I guess they have bypassed it there, look.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Can you contact Metre Plus for us?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24It would appear they have bypassed the electricity.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29That ain't the way, is it?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32When we got upstairs, they were still in bed,
0:18:32 > 0:18:35and they clearly didn't have a chance to dispose of anything.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40We've done the search. What we found is a small amount of amphetamine,
0:18:40 > 0:18:44or what we believe to be amphetamine, in a make-up bag in her bedroom.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48And to be fair to her, she did indicate that that was there
0:18:48 > 0:18:53and she signed an officer's notebook to say that that is what it is.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56The fact that a drug search warrant has been executed at the house
0:18:56 > 0:18:59is not good news for the woman's housing situation.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03You realise, one thing that will probably happen now is you'll
0:19:03 > 0:19:04get your tenancy demoted,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06which means you'll be back on, like, probation again.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09And if you get caught - drugs, criminal offences -
0:19:09 > 0:19:13again in here, there is every chance the Council will apply to evict you.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Arrested for possession of amphetamine
0:19:16 > 0:19:20and abstracting electricity, the young man was not charged.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23The woman was not formally charged either, but was given
0:19:23 > 0:19:27a second chance, thanks to Humberside's Female Triage Scheme.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31This scheme helps people tackle their problems head-on
0:19:31 > 0:19:34and understand the consequences of being involved in anything
0:19:34 > 0:19:36that can break the law.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39This groundbreaking justice alternative not only saves
0:19:39 > 0:19:43millions of pounds of taxpayers' money by freeing up the courts,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45it is also very successful.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50It has reduced reoffending by over 90% in the Humberside region alone.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Ever since Britain entered the big economic downturn, there is
0:19:59 > 0:20:02one enterprise that has been booming - shoplifting.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04I ain't even done nothing.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Shoplifting really, really upsets me,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10because I think I work really hard for what I've got.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12My business is my own business, I'm the only one.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14And when they shoplift from me, it is
0:20:14 > 0:20:17literally shoplifting money straight out of my pocket.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19You're pulling on my arm.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21No, fella, you're under arrest, and I am in control of you,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23not the other way around, do you understand?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Shoplifting has risen 6% year on year,
0:20:26 > 0:20:30with a staggering 3.3 million sticky-fingered acts of theft
0:20:30 > 0:20:33happening in the last year alone.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34In Humberside,
0:20:34 > 0:20:37the neighbourhood team work closely alongside shopkeepers
0:20:37 > 0:20:40and the business community to try and keep thieves in check.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Fellow, who are you following and what's going on? So we know.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48And members of the public are doing their bit to help the police
0:20:48 > 0:20:49track the culprits down.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52One biggest guy with tattoos on his arms.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- So, they're working the shop or what? - No, they were in there and...
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Where have they gone now?- Down there.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Information comes in over the radio that a man fitting
0:21:02 > 0:21:06the description has been rounded up, and Alan is quickly on the scene.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08What's going on, man?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Alan searches through the man's bag, looking for the stolen items.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Have you got anything on you that's stolen?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- I'm PC Coley. - I know who you are.- Yeah.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I'm going to carry out a search
0:21:18 > 0:21:20cos I suspect you've got stolen property on you, OK?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Just let me have a look.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31On opening up the rucksack that belongs to his friend,
0:21:31 > 0:21:34the suspect makes an on-the-spot confession.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36His bag, but he says he put something in it.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38But he doesn't know what it is.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45That's what I robbed from that shop.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47All right. And who was carrying this bag?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50He didn't know that was in the bag. I put it in the bag.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02You are under arrest for shop theft at the moment, all right?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05The suspect is taken to the station for further questioning,
0:22:05 > 0:22:08and Alan has crossed paths with him before.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11This young lad used to be prolific in the city centre,
0:22:11 > 0:22:16begging in shop doorways and basically bothering people for money.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It's fair to say,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I was bothering you three, four times a day in the town centre,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- if not more. - Just messed up as it is.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Unusually for someone in custody, the suspect is in an open
0:22:26 > 0:22:28and talkative mood.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I didn't rob them to sell on to...
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I robbed them because I've got into painting models,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35which I'm doing instead of begging.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37That's the daft thing, innit?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41If I had lied about who carried it,
0:22:41 > 0:22:44all I'd have done is mess things up for myself.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45It would have taken ages.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49They know I did it, I know I did it, I mean,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- we all know- BLEEP, - just get it over and done with.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Back at the station, the man is booked in.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- It's real nice, innit? - It's all posh, isn't it?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12We were stopped in front of the city centre and was alerted
0:23:12 > 0:23:14by store staff who was following this male
0:23:14 > 0:23:17from the Gamestation on Paragon Street.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20And alerted that he had stolen some items.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Upon searching one of the bags that this male had with him,
0:23:23 > 0:23:25it was a bag of toy soldiers.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29He is fully admitted to stealing the toy soldiers to feed his hobby.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Whilst this man may have come quietly,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34back out in the city centre,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Mick Davison, who assisted Alan in the earlier theft arrest,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40is making his way to another incident,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43with the suspect looking like he may be about to put up a fight.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Yeah, they've just detained somebody who is
0:23:45 > 0:23:49suspected of a shop theft, from a shop in the city centre.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51The IR, Incident Response, are going there,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53but we'll make our way just as backup,
0:23:53 > 0:23:54just in case they might need a van.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56This guy is drunk, I think, as well.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59So it is always good practice to have a van available
0:23:59 > 0:24:02just in case somebody is going to be violent or they're not going
0:24:02 > 0:24:04to cooperate with being arrested.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22On arriving at the destination,
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Mick gets given the lay of the land by officers already on the ground.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29The man in the blue has got a ticket and the lad in the back
0:24:29 > 0:24:33of the car is being locked up for theft from Bargains.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35It is his birthday today.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Nothing to do.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39But it's your birthday, go off and get drunk.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43His friend was giving him a present, just forgot to pay for it.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Mick backs the man up in order for the suspect to be
0:24:45 > 0:24:48taken into custody.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Of course it offends me, you little- BLEEP- runt, mate.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54The suspected thief has plenty to say for himself as well,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56but nothing that is very polite.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- Take my boxer down if you want, mate.- I'm not going to do that.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- I don't give a- BLEEP, - to be honest, mate.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05I'm telling you the truth, I know nothing of it, mate. Yeah?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I was all right in the first place, to be honest, mate, wasn't I?
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Never cause no trouble, mate, have I?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- Good lad.- Good lad(!)
0:25:12 > 0:25:15No need to tense up, keep it nice and friendly.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I ain't going nowhere, am I?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- I'd rather go in. I know what's happening.- Hey, keep it down!
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- All right, well,- BLEEP! - Calm it down!
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Shut me in the van, I can't be arsed, man.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25No, I'm going to search you.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30- Who's this- BLEEP- in my face with that?- Hey.- BLEEP.- Just calm it down.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- There is no need for any of this, is there?- No need, mate?
0:25:33 > 0:25:34No, there isn't, fella.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36You're far off it, kid. To be honest, mate.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37I'm doing my job, fella.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40You're saying that while smiling. I'm not a stupid little lad, kid.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42BLEEP!
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Go on.- Good lad.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46BLEEP!
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- I swear to God, mate... You little- BLEEP!
0:25:54 > 0:25:56OK?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59It's not ideal to put them in the back of a police car.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01We do on occasions put them in the back of police cars,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03but it's not ideal.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06If they're in the back of the van, they can't hurt themselves,
0:26:06 > 0:26:08they can't hurt other people. And you can put an officer
0:26:08 > 0:26:10in the back to monitor and make sure they're OK.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16At court, the man was convicted and received a 12-month
0:26:16 > 0:26:21conditional discharge for stealing two bottles of peach schnapps.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26He must pay £85 cost and a £15 victim surcharge.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31This man got a 12-month conditional discharge and a fine,
0:26:31 > 0:26:36ending up turning his therapeutic hobby into an expensive mistake.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Whilst carrying out a routine night patrol,
0:26:46 > 0:26:51Dave Mackinder and Allison Munro take a call over the radio.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54A member of the public has phoned in, concerned about a man
0:26:54 > 0:26:58who has been seen loitering around a children's playground all day.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Yeah, that's received, thanks.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18As Dave blue lights it to the location, Allison provides
0:27:18 > 0:27:23more information about the nature of the call that they're responding to.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Yeah, we've just had a call in relation to a suspicious male,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28and he is still actually in the area,
0:27:28 > 0:27:33so my colleague is responding to get there as soon as he can,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36to get this gentleman stopped so we can get his details.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Dave uses his strong local knowledge to take back roads
0:27:39 > 0:27:42and shortcuts to race to the location.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45All the while, he maintains close radio contact with
0:27:45 > 0:27:48the CCTV Centre in an effort to track the man.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Yeah, we're just going on to Savoy now, is the male still in view?
0:27:51 > 0:27:53'Yes.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58'He's walked past the flats on the left-hand side of the footpath.'
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Yeah, received. We should be with him in a minute, then.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06On approaching the park, Dave spots a man.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09He gets out to ask him a few questions.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Police work is often based on an elimination process
0:28:13 > 0:28:14whilst facts are gathered
0:28:14 > 0:28:17and the officers concerned can get to the bottom of the problem.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Somebody's rung us cos they've been concerned about somebody
0:28:19 > 0:28:23vaguely matching your description acting suspiciously near the shops.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- I've just left my girlfriend.- Have you? You haven't been near the shops?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I cut through and there was, like, a group of people,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32and I heard one of them say, "He ran that way."
0:28:32 > 0:28:34They've got their wires crossed, I don't think it's you.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Thanks for your time.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38This man is left to get on with his evening,
0:28:38 > 0:28:40as Dave and Allison get on with trying to locate
0:28:40 > 0:28:42the suspicious-sounding loiter.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46In the meantime, more calls have come in from members
0:28:46 > 0:28:49of the public, concerned about this person.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52One tip-off is from a resident who has managed to engage
0:28:52 > 0:28:55the man in conversation whilst parked in his car long
0:28:55 > 0:28:57enough for the police to arrive.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Well, then, all right. All right.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Step off the road so we can have a word
0:29:04 > 0:29:06and I'll explain what's going on.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11- Is it you that called us?- No, it's my friend.- Is it? No worries.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15You can put your arms down, you're all right. What's your name? BLEEP.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17BLEEP, have you got any identification on you?
0:29:20 > 0:29:21Identification.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24ID card, something with your name and address on it.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Dave checks the man's ID card, which shows he is from Eastern Europe.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30How long have you been in England, BLEEP?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Three years.- Three years.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35The man in the parked car explains the situation as best
0:29:35 > 0:29:37he can understand it.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41He's been on park, watching the kids since three o'clock today.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45All my friends over there was just concerned about him.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47And I just pulled up here and he seen your lot
0:29:47 > 0:29:49and tried running, so I stopped him.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- I'm waiting...- Waiting for somebody to take you to Peterborough?- Yeah.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54OK.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Dave tries to get some more information on the man's back story.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00He claims to be awaiting a lift by a friend to
0:30:00 > 0:30:03a destination that is over 100 miles away.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- You are going back to Peterborough tonight, yes?- Yeah, yeah.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Because you've been seen acting suspiciously, I'm going
0:30:12 > 0:30:14to give you a search, OK?
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Just tobacco?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20The man comes up clean from the search by Dave.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21Over at the car,
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Allison thanks the member of the public for his vigilance.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29The man is now making a telephone call to try and
0:30:29 > 0:30:33track down the lift he claims he has been waiting for all day.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34Five minutes.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36My concern...
0:30:36 > 0:30:38It's time for Dave to explain to him
0:30:38 > 0:30:40why there have been concerns raised by the public.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44If you stand here waiting now, somebody might come
0:30:44 > 0:30:47and approach you and
0:30:47 > 0:30:49potentially be violent towards you.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52We'll take you in the van to the address you need to be at.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53- OK.- OK. Yep.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55To help resolve the situation,
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Dave decides to take the man to his pick-up point.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01This should stop calls from worried residents coming into the
0:31:01 > 0:31:04neighbourhood office, at least, and ensure that the man gets on his way.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Whereabouts do we need to be?
0:31:08 > 0:31:09That way?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Dave eventually reaches the rendezvous point, where the
0:31:12 > 0:31:13man's friends await him.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Hi. You speak English, yeah?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Where are you going now?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- Now we are going to Peterborough. - Back to Peterborough?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21And that's where BLEEP lives? Yes, yes.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24So you're going to get in the car now
0:31:24 > 0:31:26and drive straight back to Peterborough?
0:31:26 > 0:31:27That's fine. OK.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29That's fine, Allison.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30With the story all seeming to add up,
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Dave is satisfied that the man can be sent on his way.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36OK.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41You're free to go, then, all right?
0:31:41 > 0:31:43OK. See you later. Bye-bye.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52Their situation has been resolved swiftly and satisfactorily, and is
0:31:52 > 0:31:55another example of how neighbourhood police teams are always at
0:31:55 > 0:31:59the ready to react to any call from a concerned member of the public.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11The neighbourhood teams respond to an enormous variety of crimes
0:32:11 > 0:32:14and complaints, but what makes them unique
0:32:14 > 0:32:19is their knowledge of the area and the people under their protection.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23With nearly one and a half million incidents of household theft
0:32:23 > 0:32:27a year across the country, the battle against burglars is ongoing.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29People going through your things,
0:32:29 > 0:32:32you know, you feel permanently violated.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35I would absolutely hate that.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38I feel so sorry for anyone that has been burgled.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45They've actually come through off of this here. I've put it back.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I've put all that back. That was missing. That was missing.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50And they come through...
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- What is it that is actually gone missing, then?- Uh... A chain saw...
0:32:53 > 0:32:57They've actually opened everything up, had a look, see what there is.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58See what they can get.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Yeah, see what they can get, what they can take,
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- what they can make money out of. - Stuff that is easily shifted.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08A recent spate of night-time shed burglaries, concentrated on a few
0:33:08 > 0:33:12hotspots, has prompted Humberside Police to launch Operation Kingbird.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Its mission - to crack down on local thieves in the night.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Basically, what I'm trying to look at doing is going in there
0:33:18 > 0:33:20in plain clothes,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24being the one who can actually get in close,
0:33:24 > 0:33:27stop people without being spooked, find out who they are,
0:33:27 > 0:33:28supported by colleagues, that's necessary
0:33:28 > 0:33:31they're close by just to provide that instant response.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35By upping their stop-and-search policy in target areas,
0:33:35 > 0:33:39police not only raise the chance of catching thieves red-handed,
0:33:39 > 0:33:42they send a strong message to any potential criminals to think
0:33:42 > 0:33:44twice about night-time nicking.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Let's go do some checks on you.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Have you been in trouble with the police before? Have you?
0:33:49 > 0:33:50Oh, that's all right.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Although the number of burglaries is steadily decreasing,
0:33:53 > 0:33:57there are still over 600,000 recorded incidents every year.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Just going to take a quick search
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- to see if you've got owt on you at the moment.- Yeah.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03- Nowt like that?- Good enough.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07And police are determined to bring those numbers down.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09All right, fella, thanks very much indeed.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14The majority of these encounters are met with good humour
0:34:14 > 0:34:17by members of the public, happy to cooperate with Operation Kingbird,
0:34:17 > 0:34:21as shared concerns help build rapport with the community.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- All right, mate.- All right. - Cheers. Thanks very much.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30But prevention is better than cure when it comes to battling burglars.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32And PCSOs are on hand to give advice.
0:34:32 > 0:34:37The aim today is to provide crime prevention advice.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41We are going to fit crime prevention equipment to the shed, garages
0:34:41 > 0:34:43and also within the home addresses.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47And we're also going to have a real shift in property marking.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Because that is something where we need to improve on.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53So, we are going to use UV markers, we're going to property mark tellies,
0:34:53 > 0:34:56anything expensive to that resident.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00And we're also going to fit quite high-quality garage alarms.
0:35:00 > 0:35:06Again, to help tackle this menace of these shed and garage burglaries.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09They are only used to seeing the police now and again,
0:35:09 > 0:35:11when we go flying by in blue lights.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14To them, this is a real personal experience, where we are going
0:35:14 > 0:35:17into their home addresses, where we are showing the passion
0:35:17 > 0:35:21and care and we are giving them real key crime prevention advice,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24which is real key information for them.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26We've given at least
0:35:26 > 0:35:30ten, 11 window alarms to people, just myself and Luke.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32And we have given several...
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Must be about 30 stickers to go on the windows.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38We've also had alarms installed in nearly every one of those
0:35:38 > 0:35:41houses, into the sheds and garages.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44So we've given quite a few things away today.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46So, as I say, it just makes them
0:35:46 > 0:35:50that little less likely to be a victim of crime.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54Heading off crime before it takes hold, the neighbourhood teams ensure
0:35:54 > 0:35:57the only thing burglars will get here is an earful.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01ALARM
0:36:07 > 0:36:10It's not all big red keys and executing drugs warrants
0:36:10 > 0:36:11for Sergeant Mick Stevenson.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Today, Mick and PC AJ Whitehead are off to check out a man
0:36:15 > 0:36:18getting agitated at a local store.
0:36:18 > 0:36:23There is a male at the bookshop at the retail park who is being
0:36:23 > 0:36:25a bit aggressive with the store security.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28I think it is a case of he has been asked to leave
0:36:28 > 0:36:31and I think he is not too pleased about that.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42As the security guard fills in AJ, the man tries to slip away.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44But Mick's got a hand on things.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47It is immediately clear that he has been drinking
0:36:47 > 0:36:50and he's not keen on being the centre of attention.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- I'm telling you no! - Come have a word.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- No, I'm telling you now. - Calm yourself down.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58How much of you had to drink?
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Does it matter?- You all right?- Yeah.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04What is your first name, mate? BLEEP.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Hey, I'm being polite to you. BLEEP.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09But there is more than just tonight's incident
0:37:09 > 0:37:10on the security guard's mind.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12I believe I recognise him
0:37:12 > 0:37:14because I believe he's responsible
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- for a theft at Mamas And Papas last week already.- Right.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- So he was quite abusive, aggressive. - You know which theft it was?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- I have a log number.- You have a log number for it?- Yeah.- OK.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- And a picture as well. - Just write your ID.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- That's our office number.- Yep.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35The man continues to protest.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38But when Mick invites him to go into detail, suddenly,
0:37:38 > 0:37:41he's got all tongue-tied and emotional.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43You just need to calm yourself down a little bit.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Yeah, I don't like it. - What don't you like?
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Between me and you.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- You can't go around... - Yes, I know, I appreciate that.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- ..mouthing off in front of members of the public.- I appreciate that.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Well, then...- I appreciate that.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59If I sit you in this van, take you to the station,
0:37:59 > 0:38:00are you going to behave yourself?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- You are being arrested... - Whatever,- BLEEP.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06That's not very nice. You are being arrested to prevent
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- any further offences.- BLEEP. Come down.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- You,- BLEEP, BLEEP.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13BLEEP.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18- Guy's a- BLEEP. - You were right, go on.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Go on.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Yeah, go on.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Enjoy yourself.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33He's...he's obviously well drunk and we can't leave him down here.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36He's being disorderly and he's been effing and blinding at the people,
0:38:36 > 0:38:38at the shops, so he's got himself locked up for drunk and disorderly.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41There is some suggestion he might be wanted for shop theft as well.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Once we get him in the cells, we'll do some inquiries,
0:38:44 > 0:38:46see whether he is or he isn't.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51When AJ informs the man that he is under arrest for a suspected
0:38:51 > 0:38:54shop theft as well as being drunk and disorderly,
0:38:54 > 0:38:56he is greeted with a mouthful.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58You are also under arrest for shop theft, all right?
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Do you understand that?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- Shop theft of what?- It is for some baby monitors from Mamas And Papas.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06BLEEP!
0:39:06 > 0:39:08All right, thanks.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Ignoring Mick's advice,
0:39:14 > 0:39:18the man continues to protest his innocence in the police van.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21BLEEP!
0:39:21 > 0:39:23I ain't even stole nothing.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26All right, well, then, all you need to do is sit there,
0:39:26 > 0:39:28enjoy the ride and we will sort it out at the police station.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- I'm not going to enjoy the ride. - Well, you know I was...
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- I'm going to take a piss. - Just keep calm. All right, all right.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Back at the station,
0:39:36 > 0:39:40the man is booked in before bedding down for the night in the cells.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41Go that way, mate.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46The man arrested was eventually given a ten-month suspended
0:39:46 > 0:39:48prison sentence and ordered to pay costs
0:39:48 > 0:39:50and a victim surcharge for shop theft.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04The neighbourhood police teams' attempt to clean up crimes is
0:40:04 > 0:40:08a direct response to local residents' complaints.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10But for this new neighbourhood initiative to work,
0:40:10 > 0:40:13the police need the continued support of the public,
0:40:13 > 0:40:16and results are the only thing that will achieve this.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Many teenagers find themselves on the brink of trouble,
0:40:22 > 0:40:26as the temptations of antisocial behaviour, and worse, beckon.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Neighbourhood police officers know only too well that keeping
0:40:29 > 0:40:32youngsters on the right side of the law is a challenge worth
0:40:32 > 0:40:37rising to, as one ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44PC Andy Derbyshire organises a fortnightly go-karting event
0:40:44 > 0:40:48for youngsters, many of whom are on the verge of getting an ASBO.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52It's motor-based.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54It gives them the thrill of racing each other.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58It gives them the input for fixing karts, fixing engines.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02So in that respect, it also gives them an engineering background,
0:41:02 > 0:41:05cos a lot of them do want to become mechanics or become
0:41:05 > 0:41:08involved with vehicle repairs as and when they leave school.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12And once the mechanics workshop is done and dusted, it is time for
0:41:12 > 0:41:16everyone to kit up and get behind the wheel for a hands-on practical.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Humberside Police's Inspector Steve Lamb is a keen
0:41:19 > 0:41:22defender of such schemes, as he explains.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25People say, "Well, why are we rewarding bad behaviour?"
0:41:25 > 0:41:28You know, I'd counter that by saying that we are not,
0:41:28 > 0:41:29we are not rewarding
0:41:29 > 0:41:32bad behaviour, we are rewarding the kids that are on the cusp of
0:41:32 > 0:41:36being involved in criminality, but they haven't crossed that line yet.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40So we are diverting them away from those particular crime types
0:41:40 > 0:41:43and saying, "What do you want to do? Do you want to play football?
0:41:43 > 0:41:45"Do you want to go go-karting?"
0:41:45 > 0:41:49So it's not rewarding bad behaviour, it's rewarding good behaviour.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58If the lads wasn't here at the moment, I would say a lot of them
0:41:58 > 0:42:01would be just hanging around on street corners, in groups,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03getting bored, causing antisocial behaviour
0:42:03 > 0:42:05and generally just causing problems
0:42:05 > 0:42:09for the rest of the residents on the streets and the police as well.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15If I wasn't go-karting, I'd probably be getting in trouble.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18So it is keeping me out of trouble.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21I want to be a mechanic because it's fun fixing cars and motorbikes.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23And I want to be a mechanic all my life.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Obviously, I'm better than Ronnie because...
0:42:30 > 0:42:34He's just too slow and I am always winning.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41It's good again to get involved with them all on, like,
0:42:41 > 0:42:46a personal level rather than just wearing the uniform
0:42:46 > 0:42:48and just laying the law down with them all the time.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54Neighbourhood policing harnesses the energy and commitment of teenagers
0:42:54 > 0:42:58and police alike to make communities safer and futures brighter.
