0:00:02 > 0:00:04Stay there, pal, sit down. No, sit down, sit down.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06I just want you to sit down there, fella.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Are you suddenly feeling unwell?
0:00:09 > 0:00:13- I'm not, I'm not... - I know you're not.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Just stop messing about and put your socks on.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19All right, we're going then. We'll deal with it in the van.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Come on, no, we'll deal with it in the van.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Every day in the UK,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the police are on the hunt
0:00:27 > 0:00:29for known and suspected criminals.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Get back from the door!
0:00:31 > 0:00:34They're armed with warrants and big red keys.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37The Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire forces
0:00:37 > 0:00:40have granted exclusive access to their raids.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Police!
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Their officers are wearing special equipment
0:00:46 > 0:00:48to give you a cop's-eye view
0:00:48 > 0:00:52and bring you closer to the action than ever before.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54What's your name?!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Britain's streets are a battleground.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02On one side are the men and women fighting to keep us safe...
0:01:02 > 0:01:05and on the other are the wanted.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Greater Manchester,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18the second-largest conurbation in the UK -
0:01:18 > 0:01:21with a crime rate to match.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Operation Hamilton. You may have heard of it.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29It's quite a large series of courier frauds that's taking place
0:01:29 > 0:01:33across the country. Manchester's been hit quite hard by it.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38The Serious Organised Crime Team has to track down
0:01:38 > 0:01:40some of the region's most wanted criminals.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43It's a massive operation, this.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46The OIC's got 200-odd, nearly 300 victims.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Today, its officers are targeting
0:01:49 > 0:01:53a gang whose activities have left their victims penniless,
0:01:53 > 0:01:57and whose scam has caused a nationwide alert.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13It's called courier fraud, a fast-growing scam
0:02:13 > 0:02:17that reaches right into your home and tricks you into handing over
0:02:17 > 0:02:20your bank card and the vital PIN number that goes with it.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23In Manchester, police are working hard to warn people
0:02:23 > 0:02:27about the con that's affecting people right across the country.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32The fraudsters phone up, pretending to be from the police or the bank.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38So far, they've conned their victims out of millions of pounds.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44In Greater Manchester alone, we've had in excess of 300 victims,
0:02:44 > 0:02:51where the victims predominantly are elderly, vulnerable, isolated.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56They're targeted because they're generally trusting people.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58What the offenders do is they contact them
0:02:58 > 0:03:00pretending to be the bank or the police,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02convincing them that somebody's
0:03:02 > 0:03:05been arrested with a cloned bank card of theirs.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07They then go on to try and convince the victim
0:03:07 > 0:03:12that they need to hand their bank cards over as evidence,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14and, in doing so,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17they also trick them into speaking to who they think is their bank -
0:03:17 > 0:03:21and the so-called bank asks them to input their PIN number.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Effectively, what the victim is doing is giving the offenders
0:03:24 > 0:03:26the bank card and the PIN number,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28which gives the offender the opportunity, then,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31to go on a bit of a spending spree. Essentially, it's easy money.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35But, for the victims, it's absolutely devastating.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39What we're intending to do today is execute two Section 8 PACE warrants.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41This is in relation to a small offshoot.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44We don't think this group are responsible for a large portion,
0:03:44 > 0:03:46but they've decided to take it upon themselves
0:03:46 > 0:03:47to have a go at it themselves.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50This first chap, Abdulfatah Wali,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53he's one of the main reasons why we're conducting these warrants.
0:03:55 > 0:04:01Abdulfatah Wali is 26 and lives in the city centre of Manchester.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04The police suspect he's involved in hiring cars
0:04:04 > 0:04:08to then go and use the stolen bank cards on a spending spree,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11thinking he couldn't be traced.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13It's really important, obviously, today,
0:04:13 > 0:04:14that we try and find the evidence
0:04:14 > 0:04:17that links him to the actual commissioning of the offences.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19It's a massive operation, this.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21So if you could give us everything you've got today,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23it will make things so much easier.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Right, let's crack on.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Crime knows no boundaries,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43and criminals don't respect borders.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48Every week, the authorities deport over 20 foreign fugitives
0:04:48 > 0:04:49from the UK.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53These are Europe's most wanted,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55sought by police in their own countries
0:04:55 > 0:04:59for offences ranging from the trivial to the most serious.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07The European Arrest Warrant allows British officers to detain them.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Then put them on planes back home, where justice awaits.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14If somebody's committed ten burglaries
0:05:14 > 0:05:17and moved to the UK to avoid prosecution
0:05:17 > 0:05:21or avoid serving their custodial sentence,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24it's down to us to track them down, locate them, arrest them,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27put them before the court so the legal process can start
0:05:27 > 0:05:29to extradite them back to their country
0:05:29 > 0:05:32to either serve that sentence or appear in court.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Right, chaps. Thanks very much for joining us at this early hour.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45When it comes to executing those European Arrest Warrants
0:05:45 > 0:05:48in West Yorkshire, PC Dave Lockwood and PC Andy Mullein
0:05:48 > 0:05:50are the specialists.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Their latest target
0:05:53 > 0:05:56is 45-year-old James Igbinovia,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58a convicted drug smuggler
0:05:58 > 0:06:00who absconded from a Spanish prison
0:06:00 > 0:06:01three years ago
0:06:01 > 0:06:03and has been on the run ever since.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09In a nutshell, this gentleman, in 2006,
0:06:09 > 0:06:15travelled from Gran Canaria to Tenerife on a boat.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18When he got to Tenerife,
0:06:18 > 0:06:23he was found to have within him 64,000 euros of cocaine,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26which he'd swallowed. For the last three years,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28the National Crime Agency's been tracking him.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32They've probably done enquiries all over, I'm told, all over the UK.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34He's got addresses everywhere.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37He's been very difficult to track and locate.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41He had been given a day release from prison.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44He'd not gone back, and he'd absconded
0:06:44 > 0:06:46straight to the UK into hiding.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49That's his picture. This may be from 2006, though,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51so he may not look like this any more.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55'When I received the paperwork for James,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57'I did quite a bit of intelligence and a bit of work on it
0:06:57 > 0:07:00'before we decided to conduct the arrest.'
0:07:00 > 0:07:02It had been passed from the Spanish authorities
0:07:02 > 0:07:05that he were a violent individual,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07but I couldn't work out what meant what.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It made it too much of an unknown -
0:07:09 > 0:07:14and, through that, I decided that we needed at least Taser authority.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18With permission to use a Taser now received,
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Dave has called for backup from the firearms team.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25So, obviously, if anything... If we get any threat inside,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27it's over to you guys, we'll move out of the way
0:07:27 > 0:07:28until you call us back in.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31'We don't work on gut feelings, we like to work on intelligence.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33'But there's something that we're just saying,'
0:07:33 > 0:07:35we could have a big player here.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Involved in big, organised crime.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Yeah, we're just about to go code 6 on log 101
0:07:45 > 0:07:47with the X-ray Alpha units.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50If we see somebody within the property,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I would leave somebody in the property
0:07:52 > 0:07:54and they're not opening the door to us.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56We'll try and engage with them first.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59If that fails, then...
0:07:59 > 0:08:00we'll force entry.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03OK, just stop here.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11As the target's been identified as potentially dangerous,
0:08:11 > 0:08:16Dave won't knock on the door until the firearms officers are in place.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19We're outside the address, we're waiting for you to join us.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Hiya, love, it's the police, can you come to the door, please?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Yes, please. There's a male in the property.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Is it a male?- There is a male in the property, yeah.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Hiya, it's the police, are we OK to come in?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Yes, you can.- OK, are we all right to go through to the living room?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Are you coming with us, sir?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- Come with us, sir. - What's the problem?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55We'll explain in the living room, please.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Just come through...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- What's your name, please?- James.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04James. OK, have you got some identification with you, please?
0:09:04 > 0:09:05My passport.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Is it upstairs? - My photocopy is upstairs.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Whereabouts is that? Because we're going to need to get that,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14but I don't want you to go back upstairs for the moment.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17After three years of searching for their fugitive,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20the officers need to ensure they have the right man.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Please, what's the problem?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Well, if you are the person I think you are,
0:09:24 > 0:09:27there's a warrant out for your arrest, OK?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30But I need to check your identity first, to make sure it's you.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Is one of my colleagues OK to go and get that passport?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Or your partner?
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Show me where his identification is, please.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39If you're the person I think you are,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41there's a warrant for your arrest, OK?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Once I've checked your identity, we've checked that,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46then I'll tell you further, OK?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I know it's alarming for you with us coming to your address
0:09:49 > 0:09:50at this time in the morning, but...
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- What is the problem?- I believe you are wanted on a warrant.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56You just stay there and stay calm.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Across the Pennines,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11the operation against a gang
0:10:11 > 0:10:14of suspected bank card fraudsters is underway.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20In charge, Detective Chris Nield from Greater Manchester's
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Serious Organised Crime Squad.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29His target - 26-year-old Abdulfatah Wali.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47HE KNOCKS ON DOOR
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Morning. It's the police, can you come and answer the door, please?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Hello, it's the police. Can you open the door? Or we'll open it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Morning, you all right? It's DC Chris Nield from the fraud unit.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09We've got to come in, a second.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11We've got a warrant to search the address.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Can we speak to you in the living room?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Please take a seat a minute while we get everybody downstairs.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Good morning.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22What are your names?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- And your name?- Abdul Wali. - Abdul Wali.- Yeah.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29OK, Abdul. Bear with me one sec.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Abdul, we've got a warrant to search the premises, all right?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35It's been signed by the magistrates on the 11th of this month.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37At the same time, I'm arresting you
0:11:37 > 0:11:38on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40OK, you don't have to say anything,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43but it may harm your defence if you don't mention when questioned
0:11:43 > 0:11:45something that you later rely on in court,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47and anything that you do say may be given in evidence.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50And we're doing that so that we can promptly and effectively
0:11:50 > 0:11:52investigate the offence that you've been arrested for. OK?
0:11:52 > 0:11:53What we're going to do is,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55my colleague's going to search the address.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57You're going to be taken to the police station
0:11:57 > 0:12:00and you're going to be questioned under caution later on.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Do you understand?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03OK, then. If you guys want to crack on with the search
0:12:03 > 0:12:06and what have you, and I'll start with the paperwork.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08The search is yet to start,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12but one of the officers makes an important discovery outside.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16..from the rear window.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17What was that, sorry?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19One of the lads tried to throw this from the rear window.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21As you knocked on the front door, the window opened.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- Which window was that? - The back bedroom, that corner.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Right, OK.- Whose bedroom is that? Which one of you was it?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30It was you, was it?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Can you let the guys upstairs know, from that bedroom?
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Obviously...
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Thanks very much.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40The piece of paper that Mr Wali was trying to get rid of
0:12:40 > 0:12:43out of the back window was actually a hire car agreement
0:12:43 > 0:12:45with his name on it, with the registration
0:12:45 > 0:12:48of one of the vehicles that was involved in the spending
0:12:48 > 0:12:50of the money on the cards.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52So, you've just got to ask yourself,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55who would throw a piece of paper out of a window
0:12:55 > 0:12:58with a hire car agreement on it?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Why would somebody do that?
0:13:00 > 0:13:05It's obviously not ordinary behaviour, it's very suspicious,
0:13:05 > 0:13:07to say the least. So, yeah,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11it was a good result before we'd even got through the door, almost.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15It's a promising start -
0:13:15 > 0:13:17but the team are on the lookout for goods
0:13:17 > 0:13:20that may have been bought with the stolen bank cards.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26In here, we've got a couple of new iPhone boxes,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28which would indicate...
0:13:31 > 0:13:33..purchase of new iPhones.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36We've got some Samsung tablets.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Some ID documents.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43It's not clear just yet whether these items
0:13:43 > 0:13:47are the items that have been purchased with the stolen cards,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50but obviously every phone has an IMEI number,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53and that IMEI number can be checked with the stores,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56and we can find out whether those devices were purchased
0:13:56 > 0:13:58with the stolen cards.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Step up for me.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Watch your head on the top there, mate.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04And while those checks are carried out,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07the suspect is taken into custody.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23In West Yorkshire,
0:14:23 > 0:14:28PC Dave Lockwood is executing a European Arrest Warrant.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31He's tracked down a drug smuggler who's been on the run
0:14:31 > 0:14:33from the Spanish authorities for three years.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36What's your last name, James?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38My last name's Igbinovia.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Can you spell that for me, slowly?
0:14:40 > 0:14:45The officer's been warned that the suspect may be violent.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48He needs to be on his guard at all times.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Stay there, pal. Sit down. No, sit down. Sit down.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I just want you to sit down there, fella.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- What have I done?- I'm going to explain everything to you.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I'm just waiting to check your identity,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01to make sure you're the right person that matches my paperwork.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Then I'll tell you more and go through it officially.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- What is the problem? You told me.- Yeah.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09What have I done, that's what I'm asking.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I'll explain. I want to get your identity card, OK?
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I like to be prepared as much as I possibly can.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16It's not always possible,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18because sometimes you just have to go in with
0:15:18 > 0:15:22what you know but on this occasion I had time to do all the work.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25We had the right officers, we had firearms officers, we had Taser,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27we had the house under containment.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30We planned it, so whatever was going to happen in that house
0:15:30 > 0:15:32we'd have dealt with.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Right, James, I'm arresting you on a European arrest warrant.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38The European arrest warrant relates to an offence of drug trafficking
0:15:38 > 0:15:41which occurred in Spain in 2006.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44So, you do not have to say anything, but anything you do say
0:15:44 > 0:15:45may be given in evidence.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49The warrant is because you have absconded
0:15:49 > 0:15:52from a prison in Spain in 2011.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55So my job is to arrest you, take you to the police station,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57put you before the next available court
0:15:57 > 0:15:59which will be in London tomorrow,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02where you're going to have to deal with this matter.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03OK.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I'm going to get cuts cuffs on him once he's dressed,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- but no point putting them on now. - Where's your actual passport?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- I sent it to... - Got any Quick Cuffs?
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I'm seizing that photocopy of your passport, OK?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Just to prove it, you are who we say you are.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Obviously he knew he were wanted, cos he'd not gone back to prison.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28But he was denying it was him.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30You know, he knew nothing about why we were there.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32And again that's probably panic.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34That's his initial reaction, I'll deny it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36And see if I can get away with it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38And then once we're pretty firm with him,
0:16:38 > 0:16:39tell him, "Look, we know who you are,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42"we know what you've done, and you're coming with us."
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Then, I think he was starting to put in delaying tactics.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Are you suddenly feeling unwell?
0:16:52 > 0:16:57Get him handcuffed and let's get him out. Hold your hands out.
0:16:57 > 0:17:02INAUDIBLE
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Please.- Have we got shoes for him? Put your socks on and nothing else.
0:17:07 > 0:17:13Experienced PCs can easily recognise deliberate delaying behaviour.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Just stop messing about and put your socks on.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17The black one.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Right, we're going them. We'll deal with it in the van.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Come on. No, we'll deal with it in the van.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28INAUDIBLE
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Yeah, he's going through the motions, isn't it,
0:17:34 > 0:17:35trying to delay it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38This is something we're used to as police officers a lot.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41People try it a lot.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46And then for him to mess around and say he can't get his shoes on.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49We try and be accommodating, but I think his patience went then
0:17:49 > 0:17:52and he were just coming with us. No more messing about.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Come through.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Hang on.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Right, in you go. Watch your head.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Right. Thanks for your help, chaps.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- His body warmer's in the middle. - Cheers.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12XW X-ray November 64.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Think we'll have fun with this one in custody.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19XW X-ray November 64.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24X-ray November 64.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Would you mind informing cells we've got a code 112?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29We're en route to Elland Road.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Think his world's just collapsed. From what he's looking at.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35Got his head in his hands.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40He is obviously thinking, "They've got me, I'm going back to Spain,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42"I'm going back to prison. I'm not going to see me kids,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45"I'm not going to see me wife. I'm not going to come back to the UK."
0:18:45 > 0:18:49All those sort of things. So, again, that's down to me, to reassure him,
0:18:49 > 0:18:50no matter what he's wanted for.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53You don't want him to be violent, do you?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55So, I've got to be conscious, when he's in the back of that van,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I don't want him to be building himself up
0:18:58 > 0:19:00so as soon as I open the door he bursts out.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Concerned with his behaviour right now.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07Maybe a deterioration in his mental health when we get in to custody.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09It may be genuine,
0:19:09 > 0:19:12or it may be to frustrate the purpose of his detention.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30There are around 100 outstanding arrest warrants
0:19:30 > 0:19:33in Greater Manchester at any one time.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Right, let's crack on.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Officers, like PC Keith Warhurst,
0:19:38 > 0:19:42are dedicated to tracking down the wanted suspects
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and making sure those warrants are executed.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47There are different kinds of wanted people.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49There are people who are wanted
0:19:49 > 0:19:50because they've been issued a court warrant,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53so they need to appear at court cos they haven't done.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56There are people who are wanted because they've not paid fines,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58or for things like that.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02But my main role is for people who are wanted who have been connected
0:20:02 > 0:20:06or linked to a crime and have yet to be spoken to about that crime.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10So it's mainly people who've been identified as possible offenders
0:20:10 > 0:20:12who need to be spoken to for that matter.
0:20:12 > 0:20:18This morning the officer needs to speak to Jonathan Buckley, who's 27.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22He faces questioning about a credit card stolen during a break in.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27This is basically a report of a burglary,
0:20:27 > 0:20:31and various items were taken from the burglary.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35One of the items taken was the victim's wallet,
0:20:35 > 0:20:38and within that wallet was contained
0:20:38 > 0:20:41a bank card, credit card, debit card.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45That card has since been used to purchase a variety of items.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47So what's happened today is,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51we've managed to track where that card has been used
0:20:51 > 0:20:53and an item that's been purchased -
0:20:53 > 0:20:56and the item is due for delivery today.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59So the plan is we're going to go to the address,
0:20:59 > 0:21:04wait for the item to be delivered, and then go and execute a warrant
0:21:04 > 0:21:07at the address in relation to the stolen bank card,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09stolen from the burglary.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18The suspect's address has been pinpointed,
0:21:18 > 0:21:22and officers are in place to strike once the delivery is made...
0:21:28 > 0:21:31..but after all that planning, frustration.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37There'll be no delivery today.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43So, it sounds like the delivery driver's had no answer at the door.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46He's getting ready to leave.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49The problems with the best laid plans is,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51all of our plans are reliant on people.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Both people working for us, people working with us,
0:21:55 > 0:21:56and people we're trying to find.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00You know, so, you can have the greatest plan in the world,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02and it can be so specific,
0:22:02 > 0:22:06but all it takes is for one slight deviation and you've got to react.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10That job, in particular, it was set up perfectly.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The job itself, on paper, was perfect.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Yeah, received. Jack, are you happy for us to pull up right outside?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Yeah, in that case, we're here.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Despite no signs of life at the address,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26the team decides to execute the warrant anyway.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31HE BANGS ON THE DOOR
0:22:33 > 0:22:36They're determined to search the house for evidence.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Hello, police. Open the door, please.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44If we walk away,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47we know the chances are, when the occupants of that house come back,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49someone's going to say, "The police
0:22:49 > 0:22:51"have been round to your house today,"
0:22:51 > 0:22:53and if they have got anything in the house to hide,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55they're going to get rid of it - and then evidence is gone,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57and when we do catch up with them,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01we're going to be less likely to prove the offence.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Tell him it's the upstairs flat, round the back.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08The decision was made that we're better off going into the address,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10securing any evidence that might be there,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13and then once we catch up with the occupants later on,
0:23:13 > 0:23:14we've got the evidence then.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22With the help of a locksmith, PC Warhurst can now enter the house.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Cheers. Hello, police!
0:23:27 > 0:23:31Hello. Hi, doggy. There's a big bull mastiff in here.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- You're joking.- No, I'm not joking.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36It's coming. Hello.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Hello.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Marcus, you have to come round the back, but there's a big dog.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Hello, hello.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Normally, if you go to an address
0:23:45 > 0:23:48where there's a dog and you even touch the front door,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50most dogs bark, or most dogs run around,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52or most dogs will come to the window.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55The amount of banging and crashing that had gone on at that address,
0:23:55 > 0:23:58and the dog did not move. It didn't do a thing.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02So, it was the last thing I expected to be in there.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04You've not got this on camera, have you?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Dog whispering.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Come on, big boy. Come on.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Yes, you're gorgeous, aren't you?
0:24:13 > 0:24:14You are gorgeous, aren't you?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18His name's Rooney, which round here,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21if you're not the red side of Manchester, it can create problems.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Yeah, it's OK, it's OK.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29The surprise discovery of Rooney means the officers have to divide up
0:24:29 > 0:24:36their roles, one search team inside, one PC outside.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39When the doors open and the first person in, that being me, says,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41"Oh, there's a bull mastiff in here,"
0:24:41 > 0:24:44everybody decides to stand and wait outside.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49But as you can see, he's absolutely gorgeous,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51and mega, mega friendly.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53He just wants attention.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55You're lovely, aren't you, Rooney?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00And he's got me out of doing a house search,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03so I'll just sit here and look after Rooney while the others,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05who are scared of him, search the house.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10The search proves fruitful.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14The officers find evidence of goods likely to have been bought
0:25:14 > 0:25:16with the stolen bank card,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19including a brand-new mattress and tumble dryer.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22They've used it once and they've got away with it, so they try it again,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24so they get away with it. Before you know it,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27it's every day or every week, they are using it and using it.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28And the more they get away with it,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31the more likely they are to carry on using it, aren't they?
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Until eventually,
0:25:32 > 0:25:36either the card is stopped or we find out, and then it stops.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38But that's just human nature, isn't it?
0:25:39 > 0:25:44As the team take the goods away from the house, Rooney is put back in.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46There's some water for you, pal.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49There you go, back to bed. Good boy.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54For PC Warhurst, a reminder of the perils of working with animals.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Watch out. Looks like someone's trod in some dog poo. Watch out.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Think I've just stood in a little bit of it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Good job I've got flat trainers on.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09With the evidence gathered, the case against Jonathan Buckley stacked up.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11He eventually stood trial
0:26:11 > 0:26:14and was given a three-year, eight-month prison sentence
0:26:14 > 0:26:17for the fraud and the original burglary.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22It's one of those crimes that is very personal.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23You know, if you think about it,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25there is very few people in this country
0:26:25 > 0:26:28who would like the thought of knowing a complete stranger's
0:26:28 > 0:26:30been rummaging through their personal effects,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33or even been in their house, or moved something that's there,
0:26:33 > 0:26:35so it's a great result on numerous fronts.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38But certainly, when you manage to convict someone of a burglary,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41it's that sense of closure for the victim,
0:26:41 > 0:26:43that they might not get their stuff back,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46but you've actually managed to track down who's done it,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48and hopefully stop them from doing it again.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Manchester's Serious Organised Crime Squad are continuing their fight
0:27:00 > 0:27:04against a gang of fraudsters who prey on the elderly.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10As part of Operation Hamilton, they've arrested one suspect,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Abdulfatah Wali,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14and have now taken him in for further questioning.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Abdul, did you say you had a middle name?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22The fraudsters have been tricking their vulnerable victims
0:27:22 > 0:27:25into believing their bank cards have been compromised.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Posing as police officers and bank workers,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32they con them into handing over their card and PIN numbers.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39It's suspected that Abdul has been hiring cars
0:27:39 > 0:27:41to transport other suspects,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44who then go on a spending spree with the bank cards.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50We think they play a part in the organisation and planning of it,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53but that doesn't necessarily mean to say that they have to be the person
0:27:53 > 0:27:57that takes the card, has to be the person that makes the phone call,
0:27:57 > 0:28:02or has to be the person that spends money using those cards.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04So, it's just their roles in it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06If they play a part in the overall offence,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09then they're as guilty as the rest of them.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14These are the rental documents relating to that vehicle.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20These officers specialise in fraud and money-laundering crimes
0:28:20 > 0:28:23committed by organised gangs.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26This is one of the vehicles that was used to transport the suspects
0:28:26 > 0:28:29to the scene where the transactions were made.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34He's regularly hiring cars for more than a few days at a time,
0:28:34 > 0:28:38and there's more than a few cars, as well,
0:28:38 > 0:28:41so you're easily talking hundreds of pounds there, anyway,
0:28:41 > 0:28:42to hire these cars.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Where is he getting that money from in the first place?
0:28:45 > 0:28:47If he's not got a job and he's not getting any benefits,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49who's paying for these vehicles?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53With their suspect detained,
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Detective Nield responds to a new lead.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58When Mr Wali's been booked into custody,
0:28:58 > 0:29:02he's given a different address from the one we've searched this morning,
0:29:02 > 0:29:05so we now need to consider whether to search that address,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07which is what we are going to do.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09When someone's arrested for certain offences,
0:29:09 > 0:29:12we have the power then to go on to search further premises we think
0:29:12 > 0:29:15they've got control of and where we believe there is evidence.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16If there is, great.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18If there isn't, then we tick that off
0:29:18 > 0:29:20and we don't need to worry about it any more.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22We'd be daft, really, not to.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Right, there doesn't appear to be anybody in.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41The team have enlisted the help of the local housing association
0:29:41 > 0:29:43to get them through the door.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50Thank you very much. Police.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- Is that his bedroom? - Yeah, one bedroom, one bathroom.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Does it actually look like it's lived in?
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Yeah, I suppose. You could survive in here, couldn't you?
0:30:07 > 0:30:11The officers will now search the property for any further evidence
0:30:11 > 0:30:14linking their suspect to the fraud.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16There is still a lot of property outstanding,
0:30:16 > 0:30:20so if this is his home address and he is living here,
0:30:20 > 0:30:23if he is involved, the chances of there being something
0:30:23 > 0:30:24here are quite strong.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26But you never know.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Also, we're looking for clothing, as well,
0:30:31 > 0:30:36that matches the clothing on the CCTV that we've recovered
0:30:36 > 0:30:39from when the stolen cards have been used,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42so if we can locate a piece of clothing that matches,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44it makes our case a little bit stronger
0:30:44 > 0:30:48if it's them that's been wearing it. Has he got the heating on?
0:30:52 > 0:30:55One of the team finds another car rental agreement,
0:30:55 > 0:30:57which could prove significant.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00These hire cars, they hire them from the hire place,
0:31:00 > 0:31:03and then they're used to drive the offenders to shopping centres
0:31:03 > 0:31:06such as the Trafford Centre, places like that.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09So, that's not too bad, really. We got a hire agreement there.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12We'll check that out to see if that's linked to any of the crimes.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Back at the station,
0:31:17 > 0:31:21it's time for Abdulfatah Wali to answer some serious questions.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Right, Abdul, shall we go to the interview room
0:31:26 > 0:31:28and we'll take it from there?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I think they're down here.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Abdul, if you could sit there for us, please.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44The green Seat was caught on camera in the vicinity of the offence, OK,
0:31:44 > 0:31:47it was leased to you. How can you explain that?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49No comment.
0:31:50 > 0:31:56It was used to transport the person who used a stolen bank card
0:31:56 > 0:32:00at 17:39 hours at Costcutter on Hathersage Road.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04- It was leased to you, how can you explain that?- No comment.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07If he is innocent and has done nothing wrong,
0:32:07 > 0:32:09why is he not assisting the police?
0:32:09 > 0:32:13By giving as much information as you can to help us investigate crimes
0:32:13 > 0:32:16against the most vulnerable and elderly people in the community.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Again, he chose to say, "No comment."
0:32:20 > 0:32:22You don't contact him anyway...
0:32:22 > 0:32:25He later pleaded guilty to this offence
0:32:25 > 0:32:28and received seven months' imprisonment
0:32:28 > 0:32:30plus seven months for another fraud.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34During the investigation,
0:32:34 > 0:32:38an important associate of his was uncovered.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Ismail Jama was revealed to be the person
0:32:40 > 0:32:43who had been acting as a bogus policeman,
0:32:43 > 0:32:46obtaining victims' PIN numbers over the phone.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53He was caught on CCTV in a shop,
0:32:53 > 0:32:56attempting to withdraw cash from an ATM
0:32:56 > 0:32:59using one of the stolen credit cards.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Jama also pleaded guilty
0:33:02 > 0:33:06to the offence of conspiracy to commit fraud.
0:33:08 > 0:33:13Fraud evolves continuously and there are always new ways do it.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15We have to try and keep up with that.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19And you want to be able to turn back round to the victims and say,
0:33:19 > 0:33:21"We've got him."
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Right, James. Come with us.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38No messing about, fella.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Come on. We'll be right with you, will look after you.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44West Yorkshire PC Dave Lockwood
0:33:44 > 0:33:47has now brought a three year search to an end.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52If you're right with us, we'll be right with you and look after you.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55OK? Everything on the seat, jackets, socks and shoes.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00Using the European arrest warrant, he has detained James Igbinovia,
0:34:00 > 0:34:04a drug smuggler and fugitive from Spanish justice.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Has he being searched?- Yeah, just keep your hands where you are, pal.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08He has been searched.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10He has been arrested on a European arrest warrant,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14for an offence of drugs trafficking which occurred in Spain in 2006.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Do you understand, James, why you've been arrested?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18They've told me, yeah.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20OK, so you understand what the officers have said to you -
0:34:20 > 0:34:22there is this warrant that has been issued by Spain
0:34:22 > 0:34:25in relation to a drugs trafficking, OK? In relation to that matter,
0:34:25 > 0:34:28I'm authorising your detention at this police station
0:34:28 > 0:34:31to appear before the next available court in Westminster
0:34:31 > 0:34:32as the officer says, OK?
0:34:32 > 0:34:35So you're going to be kept at this police station and, in due course,
0:34:35 > 0:34:38you'll be transported down to London for them to deal with you
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- down there, OK?- Just come with us this way, please.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42I think I need a drink of water.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47Igbinovia was arrested in the Canary Islands in 2006
0:34:47 > 0:34:51for trying to smuggle in 64 capsules of cocaine hidden in his stomach.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56He served four years of a six year prison sentence,
0:34:56 > 0:34:59but then absconded while on day release.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01James, do you want to come over here, please?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I'm going to take your fingerprints on this machine.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09Right, your right hand.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Right, you need to put some effort into this, all right?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19By not giving these fingerprints, it's not an option -
0:35:19 > 0:35:23- we will be taking them, all right? - I don't know.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Right, we'll do it again.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34There we are. Got it now, haven't we?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Think he was just objecting in his own little way.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Because I want him to stand a certain way
0:35:38 > 0:35:41I think he was just doing that to frustrate the purpose.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43That wasn't particularly for fingerprints,
0:35:43 > 0:35:46it was for my protection. Because if he wanted to slap me,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48he's in a perfect position there so I wanted him moved.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50And he was a bit, tensing his fingers up
0:35:50 > 0:35:52and wouldn't roll them a little bit.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Whether he felt that I prove he can get away with it,
0:35:54 > 0:35:56- I don't know. - OK? No problem.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19For most officers, hunting down wanted criminals
0:36:19 > 0:36:21is only part of the job -
0:36:21 > 0:36:25but for one in Manchester PC, it's a full-time occupation.
0:36:25 > 0:36:31This guy here he is the boyfriend of the victim.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34The job is a domestic burglary
0:36:34 > 0:36:38whereby he's turned up at her parents' address
0:36:38 > 0:36:39where she has been,
0:36:39 > 0:36:42unbeknownst to her he's taken her house keys
0:36:42 > 0:36:45and, on two separate occasions, has let himself into her house.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46First time he's caused damage,
0:36:46 > 0:36:48second time he's stolen from the address.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50So he's been circulated for the burglary.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53He's got previous for 47 assaults...
0:36:53 > 0:36:58PC Keith Warhurst deals exclusively with outstanding arrest warrants.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Best case scenario he's there and he gets lifted.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Worst case scenario, his mate's there,
0:37:02 > 0:37:03who will phone him at some point,
0:37:03 > 0:37:05and tell him we are looking for him.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08I've got a van, so if we do get him we're good to transport.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10OK? Marvellous.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11Let's go.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14The names on his wanted list are sought by police
0:37:14 > 0:37:18for a huge range of offences, from skipping bail,
0:37:18 > 0:37:21failing to appear in court, to a host of petty crime.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24My sole job is to arrest people.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28The job description to me was, you find them, you arrest them,
0:37:28 > 0:37:32and then you pass them on to whoever needs to deal with them.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33And that's how it works.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41There's been a previous issue between the offender
0:37:41 > 0:37:43and the victim at this address.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45So we came round the other day,
0:37:45 > 0:37:49and there was a car at the address
0:37:49 > 0:37:53which is linked to, and registered to, the chap we are going to see.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57So that's how we've come about the address, basically.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Washing's hanging out.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- Morning.- It's the police, come and open the door, please.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32It's coming out of the bedroom up there, isn't it?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34It's the police - come and open the door
0:38:34 > 0:38:36or we're going to open it for you.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48People don't want to think that the door's going to get smashed in,
0:38:48 > 0:38:50ultimately. What are you doing?
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Open the door!
0:38:54 > 0:38:57I think people sometimes are surprised how long
0:38:57 > 0:38:58I persist at the door,
0:38:58 > 0:39:02but that's only because I've had results from persisting the door.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Where eventually people will get sick and tired of the banging,
0:39:05 > 0:39:07and people will think, "They're not going away."
0:39:07 > 0:39:08INAUDIBLE
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Just open the door, then.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18I'm here.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- That's fine, OK. - Just brushing my teeth.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Turn your phone off for us. Well, we don't want to speak to her, do we?
0:39:23 > 0:39:25And we don't want you speaking to her, either.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- OK?- Just let us step inside, a sec.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29You know why we're here, obviously.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I've got to arrest you on suspicion of burglary.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34You don't have to say anything, it may harm your defence
0:39:34 > 0:39:35if you don't mention when questioned
0:39:35 > 0:39:37something you later rely on in court.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Anything you do say may be given as evidence,
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- do you understand all that?- Yeah.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42OK. So I'm going to put this on you just...
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- I...- I know you're not. But just let me put them on you anyway.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- OK.- It's just easier for me.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50Right. That's it. Come on.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Another wanted criminal, tracked down and arrested.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Another success for Keith.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03In the job I do, my sole objective is to arrest people.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06So the motivation's already there for me.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Every job I go to, effectively I am going to that job,
0:40:08 > 0:40:12because I am looking to make an arrest.
0:40:12 > 0:40:13And that's my motivation.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14Give us those cuffs.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19The suspect was later charged with criminal damage.
0:40:19 > 0:40:25He received a conditional discharge and had to pay £85 in court costs.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Just stop messing about and put your socks on.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Right, we're going, then. We'll deal with it in the van.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Come on. We'll deal with it in the van.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45Earlier, in Leeds,
0:40:45 > 0:40:50PC David Lockwood detained a suspect under the European arrest warrant.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55James Igbinovia had served four years
0:40:55 > 0:40:57of a six-year prison sentence
0:40:57 > 0:40:59for drugs struggling in Spain -
0:40:59 > 0:41:01but while on day release,
0:41:01 > 0:41:06he decided to make a run for it and ended up in the UK.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09One thing I think and certainly believe, if he gets bail,
0:41:09 > 0:41:12we're not seeing him again. Because it's taken three years to catch him.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16So we've got to make sure the paperwork is good.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21PC Lockwood's keen to ensure that his suspect is detained
0:41:21 > 0:41:23in a remand prison -
0:41:23 > 0:41:27but if he's to be denied bail, the case must be as strong as possible.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28Yeah, can I just say,
0:41:28 > 0:41:30if we don't get this information
0:41:30 > 0:41:32then the information I put before the court
0:41:32 > 0:41:33is going to be really basic,
0:41:33 > 0:41:36which we're not passing on the full facts, then.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40On the phone to the National Crime Agency.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43I know they've been looking for this guy all over.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I don't have access to that information
0:41:45 > 0:41:47because I didn't need it - but now I do,
0:41:47 > 0:41:51because the court needs to be aware of how difficult it's been
0:41:51 > 0:41:54to track him down, and how much work's been done.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56One, so they can remand him.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Two, because it paints a picture of everything.
0:42:00 > 0:42:01The lady I'm speaking to,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03she said she's never had this request in all her time,
0:42:03 > 0:42:05but I don't know how long she's worked there -
0:42:05 > 0:42:07but if I don't have that information
0:42:07 > 0:42:10I just basically say we've been to one address and arrested him.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14If he gets bail tomorrow, this could be bye-bye him.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15So...
0:42:17 > 0:42:20I have dealt with extradition for about five years
0:42:20 > 0:42:23so I know them pretty well inside and out.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27I just would like an overview of how much time we've spent on this
0:42:27 > 0:42:29and how many police forces have been involved.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Brilliant, thanks very much.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Cheers, bye.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Yeah, I think it was just a case of them understanding why I needed it
0:42:36 > 0:42:40and once that was the case, I had no issue with it whatsoever.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42So that should be coming through to me,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46and I'll be putting that as part of the remand application.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49James Igbinovia later appeared in court
0:42:49 > 0:42:52and was remanded in police custody.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55However, he then appealed and was granted bail...
0:42:58 > 0:43:01..but as the European arrest warrant was watertight,
0:43:01 > 0:43:04he was eventually extradited back to Spain.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10It's with anything, if you spend so much time and effort with something,
0:43:10 > 0:43:13you want to make it successful, you want to work, don't you?
0:43:13 > 0:43:17So I want this to be finished, I want him to be extradited,
0:43:17 > 0:43:19and hopefully not come back to the UK,
0:43:19 > 0:43:22and that will be the job done, won't it?
