0:00:02 > 0:00:07This time on Police 24/7 - on the hunt for a suspected drug dealer.

0:00:07 > 0:00:12We'll be seizing that. That may well be being used as the surface to cut the drugs.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14That's not good.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17In custody, the all-day breakfast hasn't hit the spot.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20This is why I don't eat baked beans. Yuck!

0:00:22 > 0:00:24It's the police!

0:00:24 > 0:00:28And a missing student gets traffic cop Peter breathless.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31I'm getting too old for this. Oxygen will be kind, actually.

0:00:33 > 0:00:37This is a week in the life of the largest police force in Wales.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42Seven days of action with the cops on the street

0:00:42 > 0:00:44and the criminals that they try to beat.

0:00:44 > 0:00:49This is Police 24/7.

0:00:54 > 0:01:0010am in Cardiff and traffic officer Peter Hoole is on a stakeout.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03INDISTINCT FROM WALKIE TALKIE

0:01:03 > 0:01:07As I said, I've got eyeball on Glyn, so Glyn will see it first.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09So now we wait.

0:01:09 > 0:01:14The police have received a tip off that a 26 tonne council

0:01:14 > 0:01:18refuse truck is being driven by someone in possession of drugs.

0:01:18 > 0:01:23We've only got the intelligence at the moment and we don't know the validity of that intelligence.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25It could be genuine, we don't know.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29So the only way we are going to find out is if we stop them

0:01:29 > 0:01:33and if they've got nothing to hide and they've done nothing wrong, then no harm done.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Just come over here for me.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42You stay there. Just keep your hands where I can see them at all times.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Away we go. Empty your pockets for me, please.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Because your colleague has got some cannabis on him

0:01:48 > 0:01:52- I'm going to give you a quick search. - He can check the ashtray.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56- Have you had a caution for drugs before?- No.- Never ever?- No.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57Just never been caught?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00I'll tell you what though, back in the '80s I got done for it.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02I had a £30 fine.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04It's been a positive result.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07We found the driver in possession of some cannabis.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Because it's such a small amount and we're happy it's for

0:02:10 > 0:02:13personal use, it's possible he's entitled to, we might give him what's called

0:02:13 > 0:02:17a street caution. We'll obviously seize the cannabis.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19He can't have it back.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22And potentially it will have to be reported to his bosses

0:02:22 > 0:02:24because he's a council worker on duty and let them

0:02:24 > 0:02:26take any internal action that they wish to take.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31To check if the driver is under the influence of smoking the

0:02:31 > 0:02:34cannabis, he needs to take a sobriety test.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37It's a simple test just to make sure we're happy.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40As you can see, it's a big unit, we don't want that driving

0:02:40 > 0:02:42around the streets if he is under the influence.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48The police are happy the driver is not intoxicated.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51But the council are not taking any chances with public safety.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54We've brought a driver to take the vehicle back,

0:02:54 > 0:02:58- so we'll take the extra driver and the vehicle back ourselves.- Right.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00We'll have to deal with that ourselves with our policies

0:03:00 > 0:03:02- and procedures.- OK.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05I don't want to comment any more than that because we'll have to investigate it.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11The driver was cautioned for possession of cannabis

0:03:11 > 0:03:13and dealt with by his employers.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22If you're arrested in the capital you will be visiting

0:03:22 > 0:03:24the custody suites in Cardiff Bay.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30MUFFLED SHOUTING

0:03:30 > 0:03:35Able to host 60 detainees, it's one of the largest lock-ups in the UK.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's open 24/7.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Hopefully now it will be not too bad.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Mopping up after the guests...

0:03:48 > 0:03:49Oh, Jack...

0:03:49 > 0:03:51..are cleaners Jackie and Lesley.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52That's not good.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56I said it was too good to be true, didn't I?

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Yes.- It's on the side of the toilet and everything.

0:04:00 > 0:04:05Somebody obviously didn't want their all-day breakfast.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09He didn't like the sausages. There's two full sausages there.

0:04:09 > 0:04:10What a waste.

0:04:11 > 0:04:16- Angry maybe. Bored. - I don't know. It's not good.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20This is why I don't eat baked beans. Yuck!

0:04:22 > 0:04:25I just for the life of me don't understand why they do it.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28I also think if they were made to clean it up themselves,

0:04:28 > 0:04:29they probably wouldn't.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34But there you go. I guess that's what we're paid for.

0:04:34 > 0:04:39- I think it should be left to us to decide what food they can eat.- Yeah.

0:04:39 > 0:04:44They'd live on toast, I think. You can't do much damage with toast, can you?

0:04:44 > 0:04:48Are you going to mop these beans off the floor, or do you want me to do it?

0:04:48 > 0:04:50I can cope with that, I think.

0:04:51 > 0:04:56Yuck. It's the smell. Eugh!

0:05:03 > 0:05:07On B wing, custody sergeant Darren Jones-Matthias is on duty.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12In there. If you go and sit down on the orange chair.

0:05:12 > 0:05:1629-year-old Jadine has been brought in for questioning.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20She's in for a shoplifting and a minor public order offence.

0:05:20 > 0:05:21However, the nurse believed

0:05:21 > 0:05:24when she came in that she was under the influence of something,

0:05:24 > 0:05:26probably drugs, cos she didn't smell of drink.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- I'm Jan, OK.- Hiya.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Darren wants Nurse Janet Whitwell to assess

0:05:30 > 0:05:33if Jadine is fit for interview.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36- So, you take heroin? - I haven't recently.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38- For a few days. - Monday is the last time I took.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- What day are we on, Friday? - Yeah.- MCAT? Today?

0:05:41 > 0:05:47I've partied from, like... Tuesday on MCAT.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50How are you finding the depression on MCAT?

0:05:50 > 0:05:57MCAT seems to, like, block out what's going on in my life,

0:05:57 > 0:05:59do you know what I mean? I've got a hell of a lot going on.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03I mean, I'm homeless. So it's like, you know, it's chaotic.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08- My lifestyle is chaotic at the moment.- How do you do MCAT?

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- IV.- IV, is it? Have you got any ulcers or anything?

0:06:11 > 0:06:12I don't know if it's going to develop.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14OK, well, I'll have a look at them.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16It's red. It's inflamed, so...

0:06:16 > 0:06:20- MCAT will destroy your veins quicker than heroin, OK?- I know.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- It's destroying people quicker than heroin. Let me tell you.- Yeah.

0:06:26 > 0:06:31MCAT, also known as meow meow, is a highly addictive drug

0:06:31 > 0:06:32and it's cheap,

0:06:32 > 0:06:35so more and more young people are being arrested

0:06:35 > 0:06:37for MCAT-related crimes.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Clearly, she's been partying for the last three days

0:06:39 > 0:06:42and she freely admits she's been injecting MCAT.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44And, although you didn't see it,

0:06:44 > 0:06:48but she's got quite bad ulcers on her arms because she's injecting.

0:06:48 > 0:06:49It's quite a caustic substance.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52You can see the health deteriorating because of it.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Jadine's in no fit state for interview

0:06:57 > 0:07:00so she's given a cell and encouraged to try and get some sleep.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09MCAT is a Class B drug

0:07:09 > 0:07:13and tackling its use is high on the agenda for South Wales Police.

0:07:15 > 0:07:20In Pontypridd, Sgt Chris Peters is preparing for a drugs raid.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23We've got a warrant now and we'll go down there now to execute it.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Primary concern is child concern. All right?

0:07:25 > 0:07:28So for that reason it's going to be a soft knock to get in.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32There are four children there. They're aged twelve down to age four.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33And I don't want those children

0:07:33 > 0:07:37getting upset by seeing a load of police traipsing through their house.

0:07:39 > 0:07:44This suspected dealer has been on Sgt Peters' radar for a while.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Both us and the local authority are well aware that there

0:07:47 > 0:07:49is drug misuse at the address.

0:07:49 > 0:07:54Possibly the supply of controlled drugs, in particular MCAT.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57MCAT is the scourge of society at the moment.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01I've not seen anything like it in my 14 years' experience in the police.

0:08:06 > 0:08:09It says 14 there, see it?

0:08:10 > 0:08:13With no-one answering the door and armed with a warrant,

0:08:13 > 0:08:16a more robust approach is required.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Dave is going to be getting our magic red key now, which opens most doors

0:08:20 > 0:08:22and...

0:08:22 > 0:08:24he'll be putting the door through.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27- That's it.- That's got it. - There we are.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Obviously, there is no-one here or children in at the moment

0:08:39 > 0:08:44so that's one relief, that they haven't been left here on their own.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45What we're going to do now,

0:08:45 > 0:08:47we're going to carry out a search of the house.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51The priority is to find any evidence of drug use or dealing - fast.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00There's a lot of used needles in there.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03There doesn't appear to be any insulin in the fridge,

0:09:03 > 0:09:05so it's not used as a diabetic...

0:09:08 > 0:09:12Here's a mirror that we found on the fridge here.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16If you look closely at that, there are white lines across there.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18We'll be seizing that

0:09:18 > 0:09:23because that may well be being used as the surface to cut the drugs.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Sarge! Found it.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31It's not long before Officer Rhys hits the jackpot.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40I don't need any tests to confirm to me what that is.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42You can see the flaky texture of it.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46- I'd say that's MCAT, isn't it?- Yeah. - It's quite flaky looking.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Mam is now an outstanding suspect

0:09:52 > 0:09:56and the priority now is secure the evidence here and be deploying

0:09:56 > 0:10:00some officers to locate Mam and arrest her this evening.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14South Wales Police looks after 42% of the Welsh population.

0:10:17 > 0:10:22And it's the job of the traffic cops to keep the roads safe and sound.

0:10:22 > 0:10:262758 Grand Avenue check-in. Yankee, Echo, 5-4.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30Officer Peter Houle is on a night shift.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34That car, I think, has just come off the pub forecourt so

0:10:34 > 0:10:36I'm just going to have a look at that Clio

0:10:36 > 0:10:38in case they've had a drink.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48Hi, thanks for stopping. Just pop the engine off for me a sec.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Right, do us a favour, can I have a chat to my car a second?

0:10:50 > 0:10:52We'll just try and sort this out.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57Yeah, I can smell some alcohol on you, so I've got this lovely device

0:10:57 > 0:10:59which I will now ask you just to blow into for me, OK?

0:10:59 > 0:11:03So, nice, long, hard, continuous blow until I tell you to stop. Keep going.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Keep going, keep going, that's it.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07So, as long as that number is 34 or less.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09BEEPING

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- OK, it's showing 52.- OK.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14So what that indicates to me is you might be over the drink-drive limit.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16It doesn't say that you are but it gives me

0:11:16 > 0:11:19an indication that you might be. So, based on what that tells me,

0:11:19 > 0:11:22I've got to actually arrest you now on suspicion of drink-driving.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25I've got to take you down to Cardiff Bay Police Station where we'll put

0:11:25 > 0:11:28you on another machine and it's that machine that we go

0:11:28 > 0:11:31by that'll tell us if you are or are not over the limit, OK?

0:11:31 > 0:11:35Last year, nearly 2,000 people tested positive for alcohol

0:11:35 > 0:11:37by South Wales Police

0:11:37 > 0:11:41and those who drive after a few beers can risk losing their licence.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Just grab a seat there for me for a sec. The legal limit is 35.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47This force, we don't prosecute you unless you're over 40.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50So we give you, in effect, an extra five as well.

0:11:50 > 0:11:51So we take the lowest number

0:11:51 > 0:11:54and give you an extra five as well. So it's pretty fair.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57So, the odds are sort of... The odds are pretty good.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59You've got a sporting chance.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02When you're ready away from the tube, breathe in...

0:12:02 > 0:12:03HE GASPS

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Get as much air as you can, then blow and keep it in the middle for like 10 seconds.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Blow, blow, keep going, bit harder, keep going, bit harder.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13That's it, keep it there. Keep going. That's it. Great, that's one.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16When you're ready, so get it in the middle and keep it there again.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19Keep going, keep going. That's it, keep going.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23Keep going. More, bit harder. Bit harder. That's it, perfect.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Grab a seat, mate. Well done.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Do you want to know the result? - Yeah.- Your second one was 41.

0:12:30 > 0:12:35So that's over. Your first sample was 38, which is under.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37- You're under the limit.- Lovely.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40You've passed by the skin of your teeth.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42That's about as close as it gets, yeah.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Second sample was over the limit, the first sample was under the limit.

0:12:45 > 0:12:46So...

0:12:48 > 0:12:52Yeah, he gets to keep his licence. So he's a happy chap.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01Not everyone's as lucky to leave the custody suite scot-free.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06Jadine?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Sergeant Darren Jones Mathias is checking in on Jadine, who needs to be

0:13:09 > 0:13:13interviewed for the shoplifting charges made against her.

0:13:13 > 0:13:19- Your moment has come.- What?- Sorry? Interview.- Interview? OK.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21But he's not happy.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Have you been smoking anything in here?- Smoking?

0:13:24 > 0:13:30- I can smell an acrid smell.- Acrid? There's some bruising.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Hi, Jadine, all right? - All right.- Mick?- Yeah.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Can you come down with Kate, or someone?

0:13:36 > 0:13:39It smells like she's been smoking something or burning something

0:13:39 > 0:13:42in here and she's a little bit more dopey than she was.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46Can you give her a quick search and I'll just double-check on the camera.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Check. Check all you like.- We will.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52- You can check all you like.- Come on.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Clothing is routinely inspected on arrival in custody.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00However, a full body search may be required

0:14:00 > 0:14:05- if a detainee is suspected of concealing something.- Sorry.

0:14:05 > 0:14:09- Well, tough. You're not- BLEEP - doing...- And give you some privacy.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11- BLEEP,- right.

0:14:11 > 0:14:16- And I'm not, right, stripping off, right, for- BLEEP- you...

0:14:16 > 0:14:18I haven't done nothing!

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Shut the door while they do that.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22The reason why we're strip searching her is

0:14:22 > 0:14:26because when I went into the cell then, it smelt really acrid.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29There is no smoking in the place, so has she been burning something?

0:14:29 > 0:14:33It smelt like heroin to me and her eyes are all glazed again,

0:14:33 > 0:14:36whereas she's quite clear, the last time we spoke to her.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39I think she's probably been smoking something.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42We can't interview her while she's intoxicated with something.

0:14:42 > 0:14:43She is delaying the process.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48I demand a solicitor. I didn't have a solicitor.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Jadine is going to have to wait again to be questioned.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59I sprayed that one. Sorry.

0:15:00 > 0:15:04In cell C29, Jackie and Leslie aren't wasting any time

0:15:04 > 0:15:08clearing up after another unhappy occupant.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10Ooh! That's disgusting.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Don't need a work-out when you do this, see the muscles.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20When it comes to handling food, Jackie's got previous.

0:15:21 > 0:15:27I used to be a catering manager. Ha, ha, ha.

0:15:27 > 0:15:28Quite ironically.

0:15:28 > 0:15:33Catering manager, coming to this, she's still in contact with food.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36It just means it's all over the walls now as opposed to

0:15:36 > 0:15:37dishing it up to somebody.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40I just haven't got to cook it this time.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43And I haven't got to serve it, just got to clean it.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46As much as we clean them, I wouldn't want to be locked in one overnight.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Trust me, when my grandkids are old enough,

0:15:48 > 0:15:50if ever they come in here, I'll be the first one to batter them.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52Never mind their mum, I'll do it.

0:15:52 > 0:15:56And there's no fear of me ever being locked in one.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Because I clean them.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02- REPORTER:- Does it give you a sense of satisfaction, looking at that?

0:16:02 > 0:16:07- I'm quite proud of myself, are you? - Yeah.- Yeah, me too.- Why not?

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Got to blow your own trumpet sometimes.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- Somebody's got to, nobody else does it.- No, nobody else does.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Back in the Rhondda Valleys, Sergeant Peters

0:16:19 > 0:16:22and Constable Rees are on the hunt for the drugs raid suspect.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24SHOUTING

0:16:24 > 0:16:27When a few choice words bring them to a halt.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Why, why say that?- Why say that? What? Say what?

0:16:32 > 0:16:35So you were having an argument with your friend,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38so you thought you'd shout, "effing pigs" as we drove past?

0:16:38 > 0:16:40That's just the way it goes, isn't it?

0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Have you got anything on you you shouldn't have?- Do you want to check me now?

0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Yeah, we're going to search you because I can't understand why... - No, honestly ,I insist, go on.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50We're telling you we're going to search you

0:16:50 > 0:16:54and the reason is your behaviour suggests you must be under the influence of something, all right?

0:16:54 > 0:16:57I can't imagine a normal person would behave like you tonight.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Stand away from the fence. - No problem, yeah.

0:17:04 > 0:17:05Sorry.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09There's no need to tense up. No need to try and be tough. All right?

0:17:09 > 0:17:13You've had your warning under the Public Order Act, all right?

0:17:13 > 0:17:16You're going to make your way home quietly. Right?

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Any further problems with you tonight, you'll be locked up.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- All right?- Yeah. - OK, off you go, then.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Thank you very much.- Goodbye.

0:17:25 > 0:17:30Right, just make sure he gets home and doesn't get in any more trouble, all right?

0:17:32 > 0:17:36Little bit disrespectful. So he's had his word of warning.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39He can go home quietly. Any further problems, we'll lock him up.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49With hundreds of bars and nightclubs, Cardiff is

0:17:49 > 0:17:53a honeypot for party people seeking thrills and spills in the capital.

0:17:53 > 0:17:54SIRENS WAIL

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Traffic officer Peter Hoole has been

0:17:59 > 0:18:03called to a 999 incident in the city centre.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06I've got a report of what's called a PIRTC, which is

0:18:06 > 0:18:10a personal injury road traffic collision in the city centre.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12It's pedestrian versus taxi.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18It's right outside The Castle, just down from Revolution,

0:18:18 > 0:18:20so obviously it's chaos down here.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24The vehicle has hit her stationary and that hasn't moved.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27She's fallen onto the ground and landed underneath a parked

0:18:27 > 0:18:29and unattended vehicle.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32Until the medical team have assessed her injuries,

0:18:32 > 0:18:36Officer Hoole holds the area as a potential crime scene.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40All I seen was something come into the back of my car, and bang!

0:18:40 > 0:18:44I felt the thud on the back of the car. I felt the car move, like.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47- Taxi driver is the gentleman in the hoodie, yeah?- Yeah.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49- OK, you guys saw it all happen, yeah?- Yeah.

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Standard procedure if you've been involved in an RTC is to give you a quick breath test.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57And basically, a nice, long hard blow into the end of the tube until I say stop.

0:18:58 > 0:18:59That's it.

0:19:00 > 0:19:05It's nought, as I'm sure you already knew. OK.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Obviously I've got to call out all the boys and toys now

0:19:08 > 0:19:11if you're concerned this is life-threatening or potentially life-threatening.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14- At the moment I don't think it's either.- You don't?

0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Thank you.- All right. - Thank you, Doc.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18The patient was taken to hospital

0:19:18 > 0:19:22and PC Hoole was able to clear the accident scene.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25It could have been a lot worse, when you pick a fight with a taxi.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28So, thank goodness the young girl now,

0:19:28 > 0:19:32she's got a bit of a headache I think, but she's fine. She'll, er...

0:19:32 > 0:19:34She'll obviously learn to look both ways now,

0:19:34 > 0:19:37when she crosses the road next weekend when she goes out.

0:19:42 > 0:19:48Down in Cardiff Bay, the custody suite provides 24/7 room service for the detainees.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54Sergeant Jones Mathias and the team dish up around 500 of these ready

0:19:54 > 0:19:56meals to their guests each week.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00Everything's microwaveable, near enough... We've got lasagne.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04Curries, tuna and pasta Italian,

0:20:04 > 0:20:07one of the favourites is the all-day breakfast.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09I'll show you my cooking skills right now.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15As Delia would say, open the microwave.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Pop it in.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Press one. Start.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Lovely meal in seconds.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24- REPORTER:- Have you tried this one?

0:20:24 > 0:20:29No. No, the smell of it cooked isn't pleasant.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33That's not to say they haven't been tried and tested and they're approved by the Home Office,

0:20:33 > 0:20:36but people are very keen on all-day breakfasts.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40They can't seem to get enough of them. So they can't be too bad.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44Right, ding. My dinner's done. I am the ding chef.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Give Delia a run for her money, anyway.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Take it down to him.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59OK, mate. Still here.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05Jadine has finally made it to the interview room

0:21:05 > 0:21:08and is about to answer Detective Constable Nick Miller's

0:21:08 > 0:21:12questions regarding her shoplifting spree with another drug user.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Roughly what time was it you woke up this morning?

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Erm... Around nine.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22I sent him to the shop to get some cans.

0:21:22 > 0:21:28He bought four cans of Oranjeboom, 8.5.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Obviously I didn't...rocket fuel.

0:21:30 > 0:21:36Erm, two cans of that and you're on your way, I'm telling you.

0:21:36 > 0:21:42So we drunk them and then we had some MCAT,

0:21:42 > 0:21:45we had a gram of MCAT between us.

0:21:45 > 0:21:48And we went to Morrison's.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52What did you think was going to happen when he was persuading you to go to Morrison's?

0:21:52 > 0:21:56- What was going to happen?- Just to fund my drug habit.- All right.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59When you've got the issues that I've got, do you know what I mean?

0:21:59 > 0:22:05- It's hard to stop taking them because it helps, like, a bit.- Yeah.

0:22:05 > 0:22:11But it's hard for you to understand because you're not going through it,

0:22:11 > 0:22:14- do you know what I mean? - I appreciate that.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18No-one will help me and that's the only reason I'm taking drugs at the moment.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21You know, I'm sick of my life. That's how I feel.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24- OK, are you in any kind of programme at the moment?- No.

0:22:24 > 0:22:25- Not at all?- No.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32In Rhondda Cynon Taf,

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Sergeant Peters is playing a game of cat and mouse,

0:22:35 > 0:22:38searching for the suspect wanted for possession of the MCAT.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44She's probably on pins now, not knowing when she can go home,

0:22:44 > 0:22:46not knowing if the police are waiting for her.

0:22:46 > 0:22:50We've got absolutely no doubt she knows about what's gone on.

0:22:51 > 0:22:52So...

0:22:53 > 0:22:55..she's in limbo

0:22:55 > 0:22:58and she's going to want some sort of conclusion

0:22:58 > 0:23:01as to what's going to happen to her tonight.

0:23:04 > 0:23:05The team have to check

0:23:05 > 0:23:08every possible connection known to the suspect.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14Right, that would appear to be an ex-friend who I kind of belief

0:23:14 > 0:23:17doesn't know where she is, at the moment.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20HIGH-PITCHED NOISE Certainly, the drums are beating down here

0:23:20 > 0:23:24as to what's going on.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27So she may well go to ground now.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29I don't think she'll survive long doing that.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31But we'll keep looking for a bit anyway.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35And then suddenly,

0:23:35 > 0:23:37the suspect appears.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39It seems she's caught wind of the fact

0:23:39 > 0:23:41that the police have raided her house.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Listen to what my colleague is going to say to you.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44You're going to be arrested, OK,

0:23:44 > 0:23:47on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs. OK?

0:23:47 > 0:23:49You do not have to say anything

0:23:49 > 0:23:52but it may harm your defence if you don't mention when questioned

0:23:52 > 0:23:53something which you later rely on in court.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Anything you do say can be given in evidence. Do you understand?

0:23:56 > 0:23:58I'm going to put these on you, all right?

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Cos you are under arrest.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02- OK, not too tight, are they?- No.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05All right, let's get you in the back of the van.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13It was obviously the right move to go in there

0:24:13 > 0:24:15and take a search warrant

0:24:15 > 0:24:17so that we could give the house a thorough search.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20And apart from the welfare of the children,

0:24:20 > 0:24:25now we've taken a large amount of the scourge of society, MCAT, off the streets.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27And this is what this job is all about, really,

0:24:27 > 0:24:30protecting the public and thinking on your feet.

0:24:31 > 0:24:34Because the house was being used by many people to take drugs,

0:24:34 > 0:24:37further investigation resulted

0:24:37 > 0:24:40in another suspect being charged for the drugs found.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48- 'Police, what's your emergency?' - 'I'm lost in the woods.'

0:24:48 > 0:24:50'I'm lost, I'm panicking,

0:24:50 > 0:24:53'I've got a disability called Asperger's syndrome.'

0:24:53 > 0:24:56'OK. We won't be too long, all right?'

0:24:56 > 0:25:00Roads Policing Officer Peter Hoole is on the case.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Leave it to me, I'll find him. He does sound genuine.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06- Do we know how old this guy is? - 'He's 20...'

0:25:07 > 0:25:10- 'I am now at a building.' - 'Which building?'

0:25:10 > 0:25:14- 'I think it might actually be Castell Coch.'- 'Castell Coch.'

0:25:14 > 0:25:18'What we'll do, we'll get someone to meet you there, all right?'

0:25:18 > 0:25:22Student Nathan has tried to walk home along the Taff Trail

0:25:22 > 0:25:23to save money.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25But he's lost his way in the woods.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27'Where are you, mate?'

0:25:27 > 0:25:31I am on foot, walking up a long, steep hill

0:25:31 > 0:25:33towards Castell Coch,

0:25:33 > 0:25:36shouting "Hello!" and shining a torch

0:25:36 > 0:25:39and...nothing so far.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42'He's on the way up to the top car park now

0:25:42 > 0:25:43'so keep an eye out for me.'

0:25:43 > 0:25:44Nathan?

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Nathan, it's the police!

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Oh, I'm getting too old for this. Especially at four the morning!

0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Yes...- OK, oh, I think I heard something. Stand by.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59'Shout a bit louder. I think he got that so try again.'

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Hello!

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Yeah, I think I've got him. He sounds very close. Stand by.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07- 'Yeah, I see a torch.' - 'You see a torch? Yeah.'

0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Nathan?- Hello.- Hello, mate. Let me shake your hand.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14- I've never been more satisfied to see a police officer!- Good man.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16What are you doing up at Castell Coch

0:26:16 > 0:26:17at four o'clock in the morning?

0:26:17 > 0:26:20HE LAUGHS Trying to walk home!

0:26:20 > 0:26:24- It backfired.- It backfired, it did indeed.- Very, very badly.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27I think what you've done, at the very least,

0:26:27 > 0:26:29you've earned yourself a ride home.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32I think I've bitten off more than I can certainly chew!

0:26:32 > 0:26:35Well, get a taxi next time. Come and jump in the front, mate.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Oh, you've got sandals on as well?!

0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Oh, my goodness.- Yeah.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43Not exactly suitable footwear for a 25km walk.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45- That's what I'm thinking. - There we are.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52Tonight's trek home has been a learning experience for Nathan.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54Yeah, I'm fine.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57I'm on my way home now... in a police car!

0:26:59 > 0:27:03I felt absolutely terrible when I was at the top.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05I was panicking, I was stressed out

0:27:05 > 0:27:09and I've got Asperger's syndrome and that makes it a lot worse.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13But the relief that I had from when I saw the officer...

0:27:13 > 0:27:16it was indescribable.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20It's kind of what I like about the job, I suppose,

0:27:20 > 0:27:22is that you don't know what's going to happen

0:27:22 > 0:27:25literally from one hour to the next, never mind one shift to the next.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33In Cardiff Bay, Jadine is ready to be released.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35I'm dressed...ish!

0:27:37 > 0:27:38I'm going home.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41If you could just sign to say you're getting your property back.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43Will I go to prison?

0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Will I activate my suspended sentence?- Well,

0:27:46 > 0:27:48you are on a suspended sentence so they may.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50They may activate it, mightn't they?

0:27:50 > 0:27:53It depends how much is left and what's...

0:27:53 > 0:27:55I've been good with probation and that.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57Don't get arrested!

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Go on and bring your coffee with you.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Jadine's hunch was right.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06Having breached her suspended sentence,

0:28:06 > 0:28:08she was sent to prison for 12 months.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14Next time on Police 24/7,

0:28:14 > 0:28:18crime scene investigator Joey is looking for clues...

0:28:18 > 0:28:21I don't see how you can examine a crime scene

0:28:21 > 0:28:25if you are not getting into that mindset of that criminal.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28..it's a proud day for the Chief Constable...

0:28:28 > 0:28:31APPLAUSE Thank you.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33..and new recruit Stacey gets a grilling

0:28:33 > 0:28:35on her first day in uniform.

0:28:35 > 0:28:36I hope she's got a boyfriend

0:28:36 > 0:28:38cos she'd make a lovely little wife, I'm sure.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41I'll have to keep kissing a few frogs, I think.
