This time on Police 24/7, the eyes of the world are

0:00:020:00:06

on Cardiff for one of the biggest derby games in the Premier League.

0:00:060:00:10

220 countries worldwide are going to watch this event on the telly.

0:00:100:00:13

A possible audience of 4.7 billion people.

0:00:130:00:16

It's a crash with serious consequences for one drink-driver.

0:00:160:00:20

-Keep hold of the back of your trousers.

-You've got my hands cuffed.

0:00:200:00:23

Look. Hold them there, look.

0:00:230:00:25

And the hunt is on for a wanted man.

0:00:250:00:28

Police! Show yourself!

0:00:280:00:31

This is a week in the life of the largest police force in Wales.

0:00:330:00:36

Seven days of action with cops on the street

0:00:390:00:42

and the criminals that they try to meet.

0:00:420:00:44

This is Police 24/7.

0:00:450:00:49

The time is 8:51 on 3rd November.

0:00:560:00:58

This is evidence-gathering footage.

0:00:580:01:00

SPC1 filmed by PC3935 Simon Chivers for the football event

0:01:000:01:05

Cardiff City versus Swansea - 1600 kick-off.

0:01:050:01:07

Thanks for coming, everyone.

0:01:070:01:09

I think everybody knows it's Cardiff versus Swansea City today.

0:01:090:01:12

I think everybody's excited, like all the fans,

0:01:120:01:14

for the first game in the Premiership.

0:01:140:01:15

It's live on Sky so the eyes of the world are watching.

0:01:150:01:18

PC Simon Chivers is a football intelligence officer

0:01:180:01:22

and he's been collecting information on potential troublemakers

0:01:220:01:26

to share at the team briefing.

0:01:260:01:29

A person has made a phone call saying that Swansea supporters will be

0:01:290:01:32

staying at the Travelodge on St Mary's Street

0:01:320:01:34

the night before the game, so that would be last night.

0:01:340:01:37

They have access to three Range Rovers and weapons and they intend to

0:01:370:01:41

use these weapons to attack Cardiff fans, so be aware of that.

0:01:410:01:44

Policing today's event will be an enormous operation

0:01:460:01:49

for South Wales police,

0:01:490:01:50

with thousands of fans travelling from Swansea to the capital.

0:01:500:01:54

REPORTER: 'The biggest derby game in the history of Welsh football.

0:01:560:01:59

'A clash of rivals and styles and cities. It is East versus West.

0:01:590:02:04

'And let's not dress this up into something it is not.

0:02:040:02:07

'These fans do not like each other. It is hostile, it is intense.'

0:02:070:02:13

And it's not just the players on the pitch that'll have to be

0:02:130:02:16

at the top of their game today.

0:02:160:02:18

Derby day for any football fan - and I am a football fan,

0:02:180:02:21

first and foremost - is, you know, the one you look forward to.

0:02:210:02:24

You always look to see, when the fixtures come out,

0:02:240:02:27

when we're playing Swansea.

0:02:270:02:28

So, yeah, very much looking forward to it

0:02:280:02:30

and looking forward to a good day.

0:02:300:02:31

Criminal activity doesn't stop

0:02:350:02:37

just because there's a big event in the city.

0:02:370:02:40

The priority policing team are on patrol,

0:02:410:02:44

led by Sergeant Vincent Easton.

0:02:440:02:46

We deal with whatever the priorities are, which,

0:02:480:02:51

generally in Cardiff, are burglary, auto crime, drugs, organised crime.

0:02:510:02:55

Today, Vincent's team are about to arrest a man suspected of burglary.

0:02:570:03:01

They've been hunting him down and they think they've found him.

0:03:030:03:07

The door's going to open up, mate.

0:03:070:03:10

-No?

-No.

0:03:100:03:12

Police! Show yourself!

0:03:160:03:20

-WOMAN:

-Can you stop it? There's kids in here.

0:03:200:03:23

Where is he to? Where is he to?

0:03:230:03:24

-We've been sleeping!

-He's upstairs.

0:03:240:03:27

We was sleeping. There's no need for that.

0:03:270:03:29

We're sleeping, we are.

0:03:310:03:33

He's on the roof!

0:03:330:03:35

He is on the roof.

0:03:350:03:37

-Echo-Tango 2-7...

-There he is. He's up there. He's up there.

0:03:370:03:41

With all the usual exits covered,

0:03:410:03:43

the suspect has chosen an alternative escape route.

0:03:430:03:47

-He's on this roof here.

-All right. All right.

0:03:470:03:51

-You'll fall, mate.

-Huh?

0:03:510:03:52

I tell you, you'll fall, so why don't you come down, mate?

0:03:520:03:55

WOMAN SHOUTS

0:03:550:03:56

Basically, the suspect we've been looking for

0:03:560:03:59

has gone to the roof of the property.

0:03:590:04:01

He's climbed across and we're basically going to try

0:04:010:04:04

and keep a containment on the area until we can get him down, basically.

0:04:040:04:08

We may have to call a negotiator out if he refuses to come down

0:04:080:04:11

so that's where we are at the moment.

0:04:110:04:13

We got several officers covering the back and front of the properties.

0:04:130:04:17

We're not going to follow for, obviously, health and safety reasons.

0:04:170:04:20

Cos obviously it's...

0:04:200:04:21

it's not very safe for himself up there, as you can see.

0:04:210:04:24

Stay there until the Fire Brigade, mate, I don't want you falling.

0:04:240:04:28

-I don't want you falling, though.

-Uh.

-All right.

0:04:280:04:31

SHE LAUGHS

0:04:330:04:35

As well as persuading the suspect to come down,

0:04:350:04:37

the officers now have his angry friends to deal with.

0:04:370:04:41

Watch it, mate. Careful. Get on the floor. Get on the floor.

0:04:410:04:43

-What do you mean you just...?

-You just swore at me!

-No, I didn't.

0:04:430:04:47

-You just heard that.

-Listen.

-No!

-What do you mean?

0:04:470:04:50

You're going to hurt him!

0:04:500:04:51

MAN SHOUTS ANGRILY

0:04:510:04:52

You're going to hurt him.

0:04:520:04:54

Stay there. I'll get ladders.

0:04:580:05:02

Yeah, 2-0, he's refusing to come down.

0:05:020:05:04

Can we call a negotiator and let bronze know, please?

0:05:040:05:07

Reporting for duty is Whisky-Oscar 9-9,

0:05:150:05:19

the police eye in the sky...

0:05:190:05:21

..and heli-cop Nick Cain is preparing for a busy shift.

0:05:230:05:26

This is our area on the map.

0:05:280:05:29

This is all of South Wales and Gwent police force.

0:05:290:05:32

We got Gwent over here, South Wales and we've got a border area, which...

0:05:320:05:37

So, we can go, using our hi-tech equipment,

0:05:370:05:40

we can go to Swansea in 25 miles.

0:05:400:05:47

Half of that, 12 and a half minutes.

0:05:470:05:49

So thank goodness for that hi-tech equipment.

0:05:490:05:53

One thing that is certainly hi-tech is the helicopter.

0:05:550:05:59

And Officer Cain has been part of the team for the past 14 years.

0:06:000:06:04

All the police officers out there who are on response,

0:06:060:06:09

that's what they are doing all the time.

0:06:090:06:10

I'm doing exactly the same as them

0:06:100:06:12

except I'm sat in the back of a £3-million aircraft.

0:06:120:06:15

The heli-cops' job now is to assist officers patrolling Cardiff

0:06:190:06:23

before the big match kicks off.

0:06:230:06:25

CHEERING AND SHOUTING

0:06:250:06:27

We're going to have a great day out.

0:06:300:06:32

-THEY CHANT:

-We're coming for you! We're coming for you!

0:06:320:06:37

HE CHANTS

0:06:370:06:38

Fortunately, the potential trouble between fans

0:06:380:06:41

raised at the morning briefing hasn't materialised.

0:06:410:06:44

You will be receiving 14, 1-4, coaches.

0:06:450:06:49

I'll let you know when the first ones are on their way to you.

0:06:490:06:53

Because passions run high on derby day,

0:06:530:06:55

all Swansea fans must travel together in a convoy

0:06:550:06:58

and meet the police at the services on the M4.

0:06:580:07:01

-Hey!

-Hey-hey!

0:07:010:07:03

And PC Simon Chivers is there to greet them.

0:07:030:07:06

Some very well-behaved Swansea fans here. Tremendous.

0:07:060:07:09

-Gentleman, how are we?

-Oh!

-Oh, no, you can't have the hat.

0:07:090:07:13

Come on, let me have the hat.

0:07:130:07:15

-Come on, the Swans!

-Come on, the Swansea.

0:07:150:07:18

99% are here to enjoy the day and it's the same with Cardiff fans

0:07:180:07:23

and the whole policing operation is to facilitate the people who

0:07:230:07:26

come here with legitimate intent to watch a game of football.

0:07:260:07:29

My job is to identify the small amount of people

0:07:290:07:31

who aren't here for that reason.

0:07:310:07:33

CROWD ROARS

0:07:340:07:36

The police have been lovely, the weather's been fine

0:07:370:07:40

and the Swans are going to get three points.

0:07:400:07:42

This is a huge event.

0:07:420:07:43

You know, we're talking 220 countries worldwide are going to watch

0:07:430:07:46

this event on the telly. A possible audience of 4.7 billion people.

0:07:460:07:50

That is Cardiff on the world stage like it's never

0:07:500:07:52

been before that I can recall.

0:07:520:07:55

Guys, can you start boarding the coaches, please?

0:07:550:07:59

As the Swansea fans begin their final leg of the journey,

0:07:590:08:02

the heli-cops have spotted a potential problem.

0:08:020:08:05

We've got a vehicle stationary there. Parked up.

0:08:090:08:13

We're trying to find out if there is somebody in it at the moment.

0:08:130:08:15

Parked at a bit of a weird angle.

0:08:150:08:17

Yeah, that's what I'm concerned about. I don't like this...at all.

0:08:170:08:21

With the convoy just minutes away, the crew are concerned that there

0:08:230:08:26

might be a sinister reason for the car's presence on the bridge.

0:08:260:08:30

This vehicle is tucked away on the road.

0:08:300:08:33

Could be innocent but could be waiting for the convoy.

0:08:330:08:37

-RADIO:

-'Yeah, we're just arranging for officers to go and check now.'

0:08:370:08:41

Do we know where the convoy is?

0:08:410:08:43

It must be close now, I would have thought.

0:08:430:08:46

Just making the rear of the convoy approaching.

0:08:460:08:49

They're definitely waiting there for something. It doesn't look right.

0:08:510:08:54

-Not right. It's not right at all, that, is it?

-Back door's open.

0:08:540:08:57

-Is that the back door?

-Yeah, looks like.

0:08:570:08:59

This convoy is going to be closing up now, I would have thought.

0:08:590:09:02

I'm keeping an eye out. I can't see them yet.

0:09:020:09:04

'We have two traffic officers on their way.'

0:09:040:09:07

Yeah, it looks as if there's two persons in this vehicle.

0:09:090:09:13

The heli-cops' hunch was right.

0:09:160:09:18

They were waiting for the Swans fans,

0:09:180:09:20

but with nothing more harmful than a Cardiff City banner.

0:09:200:09:24

The convoy can make its way safely to the match.

0:09:240:09:26

In the capital, the rooftop escapee is going nowhere.

0:09:310:09:35

And he's drawing quite a crowd,

0:09:350:09:37

which is a concern to Sergeant Easton.

0:09:370:09:40

There is dangers of, obviously,

0:09:400:09:41

him falling off the roof, is the biggest one,

0:09:410:09:43

him knocking things off the roof onto people below -

0:09:430:09:46

tiles, things like that.

0:09:460:09:47

So our main priority is his safety and our safety

0:09:470:09:50

and everything else is secondary.

0:09:500:09:52

The man claims he'll come down as long as some of his demands are met,

0:09:530:09:57

including the light for a cigarette.

0:09:570:09:59

Fag break over, the man finally decides to hand himself in.

0:10:050:10:09

At Cardiff Bay custody suite,

0:10:200:10:22

there's no chance of making a quick getaway.

0:10:220:10:25

-What's he here for?

-Burglary.

0:10:250:10:28

-Where was he arrested?

-On the roof.

0:10:280:10:30

Got a job as a roofer, has he?

0:10:320:10:34

I should have.

0:10:360:10:37

-Did you arrest him?

-Yes.

0:10:390:10:40

You have got a better head for heights than I have.

0:10:400:10:43

OK, sign your name on the pad in front of you. If you can see.

0:10:430:10:47

Thank you. OK, all done.

0:10:490:10:51

If you go through that door and we will see you in a bit, OK.

0:10:520:10:56

-Bye-bye.

-Cheers, mate.

0:10:560:10:57

Although the police found their suspect,

0:10:570:11:00

the evidence against him was not conclusive.

0:11:000:11:03

Eventually, another man connected to the suspect

0:11:030:11:05

went to prison for the burglary.

0:11:050:11:09

Kick-off here is at four o'clock

0:11:120:11:14

and the stadium is filling up very nicely.

0:11:140:11:17

The noise starting to grow, as I'm sure you can hear.

0:11:170:11:19

THEY CHANT

0:11:190:11:23

As Cardiff and Swansea fans arrive at the stadium,

0:11:230:11:25

officers from all over the force area are on duty.

0:11:250:11:29

-Hiya. How's it going? All right?

-Yes, good.

-Looking forward to this?

0:11:300:11:35

After 15 years as a football officer,

0:11:350:11:37

there are not many fans' faces that PC Chivers does not know.

0:11:370:11:40

-Hi, mate. How's it going?

-Good, yourself?

-Not too bad.

0:11:400:11:44

-Come on!

-As you can see, everyone is in good spirits.

0:11:440:11:47

A lot of these people, their whole footballing calendar,

0:11:470:11:50

the whole footballing year, is going to revolve around this day.

0:11:500:11:54

Without fear or favour, completely neutral, I am.

0:11:540:11:58

You heard.

0:11:580:11:59

CHANTING

0:11:590:12:02

The stakes could not be higher,

0:12:030:12:07

the Cardiff City Stadium is a cauldron of noise.

0:12:070:12:11

This stadium is packed to the rafters,

0:12:110:12:14

there is not an empty seat in the house.

0:12:140:12:15

Officer Chivers's role during the match will be to monitor

0:12:170:12:20

the segregation line between the two sets of fans

0:12:200:12:23

and deal with any trouble should it arise.

0:12:230:12:27

There is a guy about halfway up in a grey/blue tracksuit top.

0:12:270:12:34

I've been doing this for such a long time,

0:12:340:12:36

as a football supporter first and then as a police officer, that when

0:12:360:12:41

there is something in the offing, I have an idea of what I'm looking for.

0:12:410:12:46

So while looking at the crowd, I'm looking for associations,

0:12:460:12:48

I'm looking for people acting in a different way,

0:12:480:12:50

doing things that they don't normally do.

0:12:500:12:53

That's why I'm here, to give our commander, the match commander

0:12:530:12:58

a heads-up as to what's going on that I can see that he can't see

0:12:580:13:01

because he is remote from the situation.

0:13:010:13:03

As the eyes of the world are watching the football players,

0:13:050:13:08

the police cameras are scanning the fans.

0:13:080:13:12

It's history in the making as Swansea City kick off.

0:13:120:13:16

-It's time for cool heads.

-Yeah, right.

0:13:160:13:18

In the west of Cardiff, the Ely response team are on duty.

0:13:240:13:28

Right. Let's go.

0:13:280:13:30

Barry Walker has been a police officer for 23 years.

0:13:300:13:33

One more check down the front, job done.

0:13:330:13:37

His partner, PC Liz Window, used to run shark diving trips

0:13:370:13:40

in Australia before joining up six years ago.

0:13:400:13:44

INTERVIEWER: Being a police officer or shark diving, which is most scary?

0:13:440:13:48

-Definitely the sharks.

-I don't know.

0:13:480:13:50

If you've been stuck in the middle of the Bob Bank,

0:13:500:13:52

when it was there, on your own with about 300 marauding

0:13:520:13:55

Cardiff City fans coming at you, that's quite hairy.

0:13:550:13:58

-'We are receiving a call for an RTA on Cowbridge Road East outside 477.'

-What's going on?

0:13:580:14:04

Dave needs help.

0:14:060:14:08

SIREN BLARES

0:14:080:14:10

The scene involves a four-vehicle collision.

0:14:150:14:18

It appears a man has already been apprehended for the crash.

0:14:180:14:22

-Can you step out? Put your hand behind your back.

-No problem.

0:14:220:14:27

Hand behind your back.

0:14:270:14:29

Why have you undone your trousers? What have you put down your trousers?

0:14:290:14:32

-I haven't put nothing down them.

-A drug dog's going to come down.

0:14:320:14:34

-It's going to search your car, OK?

-I'm not stupid.

0:14:340:14:37

You keep hold of the back of your trousers, mate.

0:14:390:14:41

-Keep hold of the back of your trousers.

-I've got my hands cuffed.

0:14:410:14:45

Hold them there, look.

0:14:450:14:46

-There you go.

-Come with me, mate.

-Put him in the back of the van.

-OK.

0:14:460:14:50

The Clio was travelling down this way and there was a people carrier

0:14:520:14:56

that was just pulling out of this junction here.

0:14:560:14:59

Basically, the Clio has decided to swerve around it

0:14:590:15:02

and as he has come around the side of the vehicle, he has smashed into

0:15:020:15:05

the Iceland van, bounced off that and collided with that red Toyota, forcing it onto the pavement.

0:15:050:15:11

He's obviously now in custody.

0:15:110:15:15

-Step up for me and just take a seat.

-No problem.

0:15:150:15:18

Just so you know, look, there is nothing in the back of this van.

0:15:180:15:21

It's all been forensically cleaned,

0:15:210:15:23

anything that's left in it after you've come out is down to you.

0:15:230:15:27

-Was it a drunk drive?

-Yes.

0:15:270:15:29

And he's been fiddling about in the back of the car,

0:15:290:15:31

that's why his trousers are loose.

0:15:310:15:33

Trying to hide something,

0:15:330:15:34

so we will have him strip-searched down there now.

0:15:340:15:37

It's no laughing matter for the man's daughter,

0:15:370:15:41

who needs to go to hospital.

0:15:410:15:42

There is a 12-year-old girl, a front-seat passenger.

0:15:440:15:48

That is the airbag that has done that. Luckily, not her head.

0:15:480:15:51

RADIO CHATTER

0:15:590:16:02

The heli-cops are on a shout in Bridgend to assist officers

0:16:020:16:07

and a dog handler on the ground.

0:16:070:16:09

We can only assume he may be under that bridge.

0:16:090:16:12

I am checking under the bridge now with the dog handler.

0:16:120:16:16

A vehicle has been abandoned and the driver

0:16:160:16:19

and passenger have made a run for it.

0:16:190:16:21

We've got them now. They have cleared the bridge,

0:16:210:16:24

onto the south side of the motorway.

0:16:240:16:27

INAUDIBLE

0:16:270:16:30

We are down the banking, bottom of that path on the right side now.

0:16:300:16:34

Have you got him?

0:16:340:16:37

-I can see him.

-The suspects split up in an attempt to get away.

0:16:370:16:41

We are sticking with one at the moment.

0:16:410:16:44

He's heading across, back towards the cinema complex.

0:16:440:16:48

One has taken cover,

0:16:480:16:49

but he can't escape the helicopter's thermal imaging cameras -

0:16:490:16:53

enabling the crew to direct the officers to his hiding spot.

0:16:530:16:57

We've got one in custody. Where is the other one now?

0:16:570:17:01

We have got one now from underneath the gantry.

0:17:030:17:07

The other suspect is soon sniffed out by the dog

0:17:090:17:11

and his handler, hiding in the nearby bushes.

0:17:110:17:14

We have got two in custody at the moment, is that right?

0:17:140:17:19

Yes. The male kicked out at the dog.

0:17:190:17:23

She has bitten him.

0:17:230:17:25

Good for her.

0:17:270:17:29

I couldn't possibly comment.

0:17:290:17:32

-Thanks for your assistance.

-No, no, thank you, they'd have got away otherwise.

0:17:350:17:38

It has been a team effort.

0:17:380:17:40

The driver was later charged with driving whilst disqualified

0:17:400:17:44

and without insurance.

0:17:440:17:45

He was left to nurse a sore leg.

0:17:450:17:47

Back at the drink-drive incident in Cardiff, PC Walker has had

0:17:550:17:59

to give some bad news to one of the owners whose parked car has been damaged.

0:17:590:18:03

At the minute, there is no insurance on his car.

0:18:030:18:08

It may well be that he has some sort of trader's policy

0:18:090:18:12

that we are not aware of, that we have yet to find out about.

0:18:120:18:16

All right? I know it is not all right,

0:18:160:18:18

but unfortunately that's where we are at the moment.

0:18:180:18:20

I just walked up and I saw it. I was 20 yards away, wasn't I?

0:18:200:18:26

But I'm parked perfectly legally and as I said,

0:18:260:18:32

-I'm the innocent party in all of this, so...

-Which is your car?

0:18:320:18:36

The one that's there, on the pavement. The one that's wrecked.

0:18:360:18:40

Let's us get it off there and see how it looks, OK?

0:18:410:18:43

I've just spent £600 on it.

0:18:460:18:50

A new clutch, it's just passed the MOT, would you believe?

0:18:500:18:53

-He was definitely over 30 and he didn't have lights on.

-No lights?

0:18:580:19:01

No, and I mean the visibility is a little bit...

0:19:010:19:04

As the damaged car is towed away, PC Window

0:19:090:19:13

gets confirmation of the arrested driver's breathalyser results.

0:19:130:19:17

He blew 98 roadside and then what did he say?

0:19:170:19:20

71 back at the nick, so twice the legal limit.

0:19:200:19:25

It's just a shocking thing to do

0:19:250:19:27

with your 12-year-old daughter in the car.

0:19:270:19:29

I think, every police officer has got no tolerance

0:19:290:19:33

whatsoever for drink-drivers.

0:19:330:19:35

I lost a cousin through drink-driving and it...

0:19:350:19:38

It kills, at the end of the day. There is no excuse.

0:19:400:19:44

In custody, the drunk driver was found with a credit card

0:19:470:19:50

hidden in his underpants.

0:19:500:19:51

In the end, he was found guilty of drink-driving with no licence

0:19:530:19:57

and no insurance.

0:19:570:19:58

He was banned from driving for three years.

0:19:580:20:02

CROWD ROARS

0:20:020:20:06

Ballamy hits it. Caulker header. 1-0 Cardiff City.

0:20:060:20:09

Steven Caulker.

0:20:090:20:11

With spirits high amongst the home team supporters, PC Chivers

0:20:110:20:16

needs to identify if anyone in the crowd is acting inappropriately.

0:20:160:20:21

Our friend up there started jumping around as soon as they scored.

0:20:210:20:25

And pointed at the camera and he stopped straightaway.

0:20:250:20:27

We've got one of Swansea's main supporters amongst this group

0:20:300:20:33

and in the stand.

0:20:330:20:34

Their behaviour since Cardiff has scored has deteriorated a bit.

0:20:360:20:40

And I wanted to gather some evidence of what they're doing.

0:20:400:20:43

To hold them accountable should their behaviour get any worse.

0:20:430:20:46

But it's a Cardiff City fan that Simon has to have a word with.

0:20:460:20:50

Tell you what, right?

0:20:500:20:51

Just enjoy the rest of this game

0:20:510:20:53

because what's going to happen next

0:20:530:20:54

if you don't is I'll have you over this fencing,

0:20:540:20:57

you'll be getting arrested and you'll be getting banned, all right?

0:20:570:21:00

OK? I don't even want to know your name. Just have a bit of sense.

0:21:000:21:03

You would not arrest someone for a minor public order offence

0:21:050:21:08

inside the stadium today.

0:21:080:21:09

They would have to be doing something pretty seriously wrong

0:21:090:21:12

that endangered people's life or safety.

0:21:120:21:14

What we'd do is we would look at their behaviour

0:21:140:21:16

and if it is significantly worse than the people around them

0:21:160:21:19

then it falls below the standard that is universally accepted.

0:21:190:21:23

We'd find out who they were.

0:21:230:21:24

They would be arrested and we'd go to court

0:21:240:21:27

and ultimately they would probably be banned.

0:21:270:21:30

There's certain parts of the fan groups that think they can still

0:21:300:21:34

behave in a way that they did in the '90s and those days are gone.

0:21:340:21:38

We won't have it.

0:21:380:21:39

OPERATOR: What's your emergency?

0:21:470:21:49

My girlfriend kicked off with me.

0:21:490:21:51

Started booting my car and started attacking me.

0:21:510:21:53

I can't handle it no more.

0:21:530:21:55

She was threatening to stab herself. She's just gone mad.

0:21:550:21:58

Drove a screwdriver into her. I didn't see where it went.

0:21:580:22:01

I didn't see any blood.

0:22:010:22:03

SIREN BLARES

0:22:030:22:04

PCs Walker and Window are the nearest to respond to this

0:22:060:22:09

domestic call for help.

0:22:090:22:10

They're searching for a young girl who is in a vulnerable state,

0:22:140:22:17

according to her boyfriend who made the 999 call.

0:22:170:22:20

Can we clarify

0:22:210:22:22

if this female is still in possession of the screwdriver?

0:22:220:22:26

That's her there. We're with the female now.

0:22:280:22:31

-Hi.

-Hi, lovely.

0:22:370:22:38

-What's going on then?

-Have you got a screwdriver on you?

-No.

0:22:390:22:43

-Where's it gone?

-I don't have one.

0:22:430:22:46

-Did you have one when you were in the house?

-No.

0:22:460:22:49

-OK, not my colour.

-I'm confused.

0:22:510:22:54

What's going on is there has been an issue with your boyfriend.

0:22:540:22:57

We had an argument. I left the screwdriver in the house.

0:22:570:23:01

-I said to him I was going out.

-Right.

0:23:010:23:03

-Were you going to harm yourself with it?

-No.

0:23:030:23:05

-No. I got a tattoo of his name.

-Right.

0:23:050:23:09

We had a bit of an argument because I think my mother died.

0:23:090:23:14

I've been adopted when I was younger so I don't know what happened.

0:23:140:23:18

Should we go back down to the house and sort out what's going on, then?

0:23:180:23:22

Yeah. I'd like to, yeah.

0:23:220:23:23

Abbey has heard some distressing news

0:23:260:23:28

whilst looking into her adoption

0:23:280:23:30

which has triggered tonight's incident.

0:23:300:23:32

My real mum could be dead.

0:23:330:23:35

And I just don't know what to do with that.

0:23:370:23:40

If my mum is dead, then I never got to meet her.

0:23:400:23:43

And I'm really emotional about it. I don't know what to do.

0:23:430:23:47

I feel my whole life is falling apart

0:23:470:23:49

because my birth mum is the only thing that kept me alive.

0:23:490:23:53

He's going to look after you, but you've got to look after him.

0:23:530:23:56

Stop running around the streets and stuff.

0:23:560:23:59

OK, thanks.

0:23:590:24:00

Good night.

0:24:000:24:01

Job done. Another missing person found and reunited.

0:24:090:24:13

But just as the team get ready to leave...

0:24:130:24:16

-..it all kicks off again.

-I've lost him. I don't care.

-Behave.

0:24:170:24:24

-Get off me.

-Let's cuff her up.

0:24:240:24:26

I hate you, Chris. I hope you die.

0:24:290:24:31

I want to kill you. One day I'm going to kill you.

0:24:310:24:35

Watch your foot.

0:24:380:24:40

For some reason she's flipped.

0:24:480:24:49

And started to perform with him again

0:24:500:24:53

and he's come back outside, as you saw.

0:24:530:24:54

It's all over.

0:24:560:24:57

And she's gone berserk. So the problem is we can't leave her now.

0:24:580:25:02

Cos it's going to keep happening.

0:25:020:25:04

The officers now have no choice

0:25:070:25:09

but to take Abbey into custody for her and her boyfriend's safety.

0:25:090:25:13

CHEERING

0:25:160:25:17

It's full-time at the Cardiff City Stadium.

0:25:200:25:22

The bragging rights are going to the capital.

0:25:240:25:28

It's finished Cardiff City 1, Swansea City 0.

0:25:280:25:32

THEY SCREAM

0:25:320:25:33

With the home fans celebrating a 1-0 victory,

0:25:390:25:43

it's been an eventful day for PC Simon Chivers.

0:25:430:25:46

THEY SCREAM

0:25:460:25:48

Of course I'm happy about the result, I'm a Cardiff fan.

0:25:480:25:50

But I'm happier the day went with no problems, no disorder.

0:25:500:25:54

All the work and planning and intelligence that goes into these

0:25:540:25:57

big events has proved worthwhile and we've got a good result all round.

0:25:570:26:01

Yeah, I'm happy.

0:26:010:26:03

With over 25,000 people attending the game and millions

0:26:090:26:13

across the world watching, South Wales Police got a result too.

0:26:130:26:17

They didn't have to make one arrest.

0:26:170:26:19

In Cardiff Bay Station...

0:26:280:26:29

..Abbey's arrived in custody.

0:26:310:26:33

What we'll do is, since you're freezing cold, we'll get you

0:26:380:26:41

some clean, dry clothes, put you in the cells for a couple of hours

0:26:410:26:45

until you've sobered up and we'll have a chat about who is going

0:26:450:26:48

-to pick you up and take you home.

-That's great.

-Happy with that?

-Yep.

0:26:480:26:52

Hopefully my boyfriend, if he's happy with me.

0:26:520:26:56

I've sobered up a little bit.

0:26:560:26:58

-Not quite enough.

-It's my mother. I don't know if she's dead or not.

0:26:580:27:01

It's quite emotional.

0:27:010:27:03

Couple of hours and we'll get you sorted, all right?

0:27:030:27:07

-Thank you so much for that.

-No problem at all.

-All right.

0:27:070:27:12

SHE LAUGHS

0:27:120:27:13

Abbey will now get a chance to calm down in a cell for a few hours.

0:27:140:27:18

I have pretty much got myself into a big state. I've drank quite a lot.

0:27:190:27:24

I've, you know...

0:27:240:27:25

..shown actions of aggression to my boyfriend.

0:27:260:27:31

As in trying to go for him with certain items.

0:27:310:27:35

But this is my first time here. I don't want to be here again.

0:27:350:27:38

Definitely not.

0:27:380:27:40

I'm one of these people who have learned straight away

0:27:400:27:43

not to be here again.

0:27:430:27:44

Abbey won't be charged,

0:27:470:27:49

and response officers Walker

0:27:490:27:50

and Window can return to the city streets.

0:27:500:27:53

You can call me love all you like. It's not a problem.

0:27:540:27:56

You just can't block the road, I'm afraid. Thank you very much.

0:27:560:27:59

He called me love.

0:28:010:28:02

He did.

0:28:020:28:03

THEY LAUGH

0:28:030:28:04

-All right, love.

-I enjoyed that.

0:28:080:28:10

Next time on Police 24/7...

0:28:120:28:14

-On the hunt for a suspected drug dealer.

-We'll be seizing that.

0:28:150:28:19

It may well be used as the surface to cut the drugs.

0:28:190:28:22

That's not good.

0:28:220:28:24

In custody, the all-day breakfast hasn't hit the right spot.

0:28:240:28:28

This is why I don't eat baked beans.

0:28:280:28:30

Yuck!

0:28:300:28:32

It's the police.

0:28:330:28:34

And a missing student gets traffic cop Peter Hoole breathless.

0:28:340:28:37

I'm getting too old for this.
