0:00:02 > 0:00:04We're just pulling up now near the address.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06CAR HORN TOOTS
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Yeah, we're just pulling up at the address now.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Go get the whammer.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22- Police!- Here you are, Rob.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23- Rob...- There you go!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Go!
0:00:25 > 0:00:28- Police!- Police!- Police! Police!
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Every day in the UK, the police are on the hunt
0:00:33 > 0:00:36for known and suspected criminals.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Get back from the door.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40They're armed with warrants and big red keys.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44The Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire forces
0:00:44 > 0:00:47have granted exclusive access to their raids.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Police!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Their officers are wearing special equipment
0:00:52 > 0:00:54to give you a cop's-eye view
0:00:54 > 0:00:58and bring you closer to the action than ever before.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00What's your name?
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Britain's streets are a battleground.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Stay back! - Get out of the way. Calm down.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07On one side are the men and women fighting to keep us safe.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11And on the other are the wanted.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Greater Manchester spans over 500 square miles
0:01:23 > 0:01:27and has a police force of nearly 7,000 Officers.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31The Serious Organised Crime Group
0:01:31 > 0:01:35are tasked with tracking down some of the region's most wanted criminals.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39If everybody wants to go to the bottom end, we'll do a briefing.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Every single day that you come in to work,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43you never know what you're going to come in to.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Robbery, drugs, kidnap, extortion.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50The run-of-the-mill stuff, really.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Recently, the team celebrated success
0:01:54 > 0:01:58after putting a large organised drugs gang behind bars.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Right, thanks very much, everybody,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03for scrambling together this morning.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I know you've all got other jobs on this morning.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10But now officers have been able to link one of the gang members
0:02:10 > 0:02:12to another known drugs dealer
0:02:12 > 0:02:15who's still at large.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19We'd got in control of quite a big organised crime group
0:02:19 > 0:02:20in the Oldham area
0:02:20 > 0:02:24and by analysing the phone records, we moved on to Jahngeer Ali
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and start looking at what his actions were
0:02:27 > 0:02:29and what his criminality was.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Jahngeer Ali is already known to the team,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35having previously served time for dealing heroin.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Today's operation, code name Sustain,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44will involve taking Ali into custody and searching his property.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50We're looking for any items, drug paraphernalia, drugs,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53mobile phones, et cetera.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56You've all been on these warrants numerous times
0:02:56 > 0:02:58so you know what you're looking for.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00There's no gate to it,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02so we can get round the back, but it's, like, secure...
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Let's just get going very, very quickly.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07In charge of the operation on the ground,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Detective Sergeant Mark Whittaker.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11There's always a suspicion
0:03:11 > 0:03:14and I would always say that a sophisticated member
0:03:14 > 0:03:17of an organised crime group, like Jahngeer Ali,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19knowing that his criminal associates
0:03:19 > 0:03:23have been arrested earlier this year,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26will potentially be aware of the fact
0:03:26 > 0:03:29that they may be the next person to be looked at
0:03:29 > 0:03:32or investigated by the Serious And Organised Crime Group.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35What do you want us to do now? Do you want us to wait here?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38No, I need everyone up there now and secure the premises.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I'm looking at locking them up for possession and supplying.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Who's going?
0:03:43 > 0:03:44New intelligence has come in
0:03:44 > 0:03:48suggesting there could be drugs at Ali's house.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52So the team's been brought together at short notice.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54The officers need to act fast.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09At any one time, there are hundreds of foreign criminals
0:04:09 > 0:04:11hiding out in the UK.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15They're on the run from the police in their own countries...
0:04:15 > 0:04:18which are determined to bring them back.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22The European Arrest Warrant gives the police here
0:04:22 > 0:04:25the power to take them into custody,
0:04:25 > 0:04:29then put them on planes bound for home - and justice.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33A European Arrest Warrant
0:04:33 > 0:04:37is basically issued for anybody throughout the EU,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39and if they're wanted in one country
0:04:39 > 0:04:40and living in another,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43we can issue this warrant in order to arrest them
0:04:43 > 0:04:46and send them to their country for sentencing, for trial.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Nobody has a problem with anybody that wants to come to the UK,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52work hard, raise a family.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55It's the people that are intent on coming here
0:04:55 > 0:05:00and committing crime and not contributing anything to society.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I think the public have got less tolerance for these sort of people.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10It's PC Dave Lockwood and his partner Andy Million
0:05:10 > 0:05:14who deal with all the European Arrest Warrants for West Yorkshire Police.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Are you glad to come back to work?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- No.- Oh, dear. - But since I'm here anyway...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Tell me what we're doing. - ..we might as well crack on.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25The officers have just received a new warrant.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Right, we've got a high priority one
0:05:27 > 0:05:30that's come through from the National Crime Agency.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32It's a Polish chap called Rafal.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37He's wanted for robbery and six assaults.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40He stole money from a lass
0:05:40 > 0:05:42and beat her and threatened her with murder
0:05:42 > 0:05:45with an object resembling a firearm.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47He...
0:05:47 > 0:05:50showed blatant disregard of law and order
0:05:50 > 0:05:55and he took part in beating... one, two, three, four males
0:05:55 > 0:05:57with his hands, and kicked them,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00exposing them to injury and direct danger and loss of life.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04According to the Polish authorities,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Rafal Wrzeszcz could be violent
0:06:07 > 0:06:09and may even possess a firearm.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Dave and Andy head to the address held on record for their suspect.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19..It is, isn't it?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Morning.- That'll do. - Do you both live here?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30The warrant allows the team to search the property
0:06:30 > 0:06:33if they believe the subject might be hiding there.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- Have you got ID? Passport? - Passport?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Am I OK to go upstairs?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Hello?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Are we OK?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49OK?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Hello?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52As Dave starts the search,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56the Polish occupant of the house calls her English speaking-friend
0:06:56 > 0:06:58who may be able to help.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59All right, and they speak English?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Hello?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Hello there. Who am I speaking to? It's the police. PC Million here.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Hubert? Right, do you know somebody called Rafal?
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Rafal.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14How do you know him?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16He lives here? How long ago did he move out?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20About three or four years.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Yeah, but you might be able to find out where he's moved to?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- She lives here on her own. - Two bedrooms.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Rafal used to live in the other bedroom before she moved in.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- I believe four years.- Which one's this one in?- I don't know.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35We need to establish, cos there's some upstairs.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Just come upstairs with me a second.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39If you go in that first bedroom directly above us,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41as soon as you walk in the door, on your left,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43there's a bed drawer open, you know, like a divan.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Is this your room?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Is this your room?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- No.- You sleep...? OK.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Both bedrooms show clear signs of recent use,
0:07:57 > 0:08:01so Dave strongly suspects that someone else is living here.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- So, you sleep in here?- Mm-hm.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Yep. These all your clothes?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Someone's living in here. I'm not having it she's on her own.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12No chance.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I'm going to do a full search of this room for ID, then.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18What we're searching for, under the Extradition Act,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21we have a power to search for ID.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28So, what we're trying to do is rule this address out of our enquiries.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30So...
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Whilst Dave continues his search for ID,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Andy uses translation technology to help him communicate.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41If I type English and then... Does that make sense?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Type in Polish, press English, I read and then I'll send it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50I don't know how I'm speaking in me Polish language for the camera...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52But we've established why we're here.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Thank you for your time. - No problem.- OK.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59It was absolutely clear that she couldn't speak English.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02You know, she wasn't doing it to mislead us.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04So, brilliant - Google Translate straightaway.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's something Andy chose to do.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10If Hubert finds out where Rafal is... Yeah?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Rafal.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15No, Hubert. When I speak to him, he ring my friend.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- OK.- Yeah?- Mm-hm. - He's got the number. It's OK.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Fantastic. Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Brilliant, thank you.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Now they're confident their suspect has moved on, the team leave,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28hoping their message will soon spread
0:09:28 > 0:09:33that Rafal Wrzeszcz is wanted by the West Yorkshire Police.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Come on, Andy.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54SIREN WAILS
0:09:54 > 0:09:58In Greater Manchester, the Serious Organised Crime Group
0:09:58 > 0:10:01are on their way to a drugs raid.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Hiya. Do you want us to go straight in this address?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06They've received information
0:10:06 > 0:10:09that drugs are being held at an address in Oldham.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Any particular vehicles we need to know outside,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16we need to block in?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Keep heading for the direction. A vehicle's just left.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22They're waiting on a cell site update.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Yeah, turn your blue lights off, mate, and pull over.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31We're just pulling up now near the address.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32CAR HORN TOOTS
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Yeah, we're just pulling up at the address now.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Got the whammer?
0:10:43 > 0:10:47As officers suspect there are drugs in the house, they opt for surprise.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50They don't want to give the occupants any chance
0:10:50 > 0:10:52to hide or destroy vital evidence.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54There you go!
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Go!
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Police!- Police!- Police! Police!
0:10:59 > 0:11:00- Down!- Police! Police!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- Clear!- Clear!
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Clear.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Come down. Get in there.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Police.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Clear.- So far, mate, clean.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I'm just going to take these items out of your pocket, OK?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Look away, please.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Officers find and arrest their suspect, Jahngeer Ali.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Good teamwork, that. - Yeah, thanks, mate. Cheers.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41The team start their search.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45And it's a fruitful one.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Stand back.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Their haul includes four large packages containing cannabis.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57All the same, mate. Another two boxes here.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Things are not looking good for Jahngeer Ali.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
0:12:06 > 0:12:08if you do not mention, when questioned,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10something which you later rely on in court.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You're now under arrest. You're under caution.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16You'll be coming to a police station
0:12:16 > 0:12:18to be interviewed about the offence.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20It was an amazing result,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22because we'd gone in there to arrest Jahngeer,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25concerning the supply of controlled drugs,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27and as a result of his arrest,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30we then do the house search, we secure everyone in the property.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32We commence a house search after that
0:12:32 > 0:12:35and subsequently find this large amount of drugs.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38We just came across three boxes.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40As you lift the lid of them,
0:12:40 > 0:12:45it's just vacuum-packed bags of cannabis, a kilo per bag.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Which was just the icing on the cake for us. It was fantastic.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53To find large amounts of drugs in anyone's house is fantastic,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56but in Jahngeer's, with the fact that
0:12:56 > 0:12:59he's been convicted previously for conspiracy to import heroin
0:12:59 > 0:13:03was even better, cos it just shows he's not learnt his lesson.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07And after the raid, the interview.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11The officers take Ali to the station for questioning.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24In West Yorkshire, a European Arrest Warrant is still out
0:13:24 > 0:13:27for Rafal Wrzeszcz, wanted for
0:13:27 > 0:13:29suspected crimes committed in Poland.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Officers Lockwood and Million have hit a dead end on tracking him down.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Your favourite friends! - WOMAN CHUCKLES
0:13:40 > 0:13:41They've returned to their first address.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43OK.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Does this lady have Hubert's mobile number?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49SHE TRANSLATES INTO POLISH
0:13:49 > 0:13:50My mother try call to Hubert.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Is this your mum?- Yes.- Ah, right.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57They know that a man associated with the suspect,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01known as Hubert, has been in contact with Wrzeszcz.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Hubert helped us last time and he made loads of calls.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07And the man that we were trying to speak with,
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I think Hubert spoke to.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12So, we just need to speak to Hubert again and see if he can help us.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- He's on his way back home now? - Yeah, yeah.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16- Hubert.- 0777...
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Superb. No trouble here.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22We've no problem with you. We just need his help.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24OK? Well, it's been a pleasure meeting you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Take care. See you later. - Thanks again.- Thank you, bye.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Now armed with Hubert's number, Dave puts in a call.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37My job is to arrest him and get him before the court, OK?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39When he gets to court, he will have a legal team,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42he will have an interpreter, and if he's got that evidence
0:14:42 > 0:14:47that you're saying he's trying to get hold of, he can put that...
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Yeah. He can put that before the court.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52All right, see you, bye-bye.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Basically, what Hubert's just said
0:14:54 > 0:14:57is that he is not directly in contact with this guy.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59They're from the same village, he does know him
0:14:59 > 0:15:01and he's hung around with him.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03The only way he's in contact with him
0:15:03 > 0:15:05is via Facebook with his family in Poland.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08So he keeps messaging his family in Poland.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Family in Poland and they message back over here.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11And they get get him over here, yeah.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15What he's saying is, it's lies what the Polish are saying, er,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18it's not true, and he's going to prove that he was in the UK
0:15:18 > 0:15:20when they said he's carried out this offence.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22So he's getting payslips,
0:15:22 > 0:15:23he's getting all information from work,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25he's sort of building his own case
0:15:25 > 0:15:27and doing his own investigation.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29And what he's saying is, he's going to hand himself in
0:15:29 > 0:15:32over the next couple of days, so we can all deal with it then.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- We're trying to find Rafal, OK? - Yes, I know him well.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Later, Hubert returns from work.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Officers can now talk to him personally.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Yeah, I will do, as long I can help the guy, I will,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48because he's a good lad, he haven't done what they saying he done,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50because he wasn't in Poland. I'm not saying that because
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I'm trying to cover his... But he was here...
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Just because he gets arrested...
0:15:54 > 0:15:56..at the time they're saying he's been in there,
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- which is impossible.- ..it doesn't mean he's going back to Poland.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02It starts a legal challenge, a legal argument,
0:16:02 > 0:16:03and if he's got evidence to show...
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Yeah, but that's the time for him to get it.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07If he get it now, he don't have to be worried.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Well, he's had five weeks. We're police, we can't sit and wait
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- for him to sort himself out. - I understand.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I'll pass all details, and hopefully get in touch with you tomorrow,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- or by latest tomorrow morning. - Right, superb.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- That's all I can promise. - All right.- OK.- Enjoy your tea.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- So... I hope. - All right, cheers.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25The reason he'd absconded was
0:16:25 > 0:16:27he wanted to prove his innocence,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29so if arrested and put into prison
0:16:29 > 0:16:31he'd not be able to do that,
0:16:31 > 0:16:32so he just needed time.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36But when a European Arrest Warrant is issued,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39the suspect must be hunted down.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I will not give up on one.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45If there's any possible lead whatsoever and it's not dead,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47any lead, I will follow it. I will not give up.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00In Greater Manchester, a tip-off about a drugs delivery
0:17:00 > 0:17:02led to a raid on this house.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- Police!- Police!- Police!
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Once inside, officers found large bags of cannabis.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Two boxes here.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26The main suspect, Jahngeer Ali, has now been taken into custody.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29But the investigation is only just beginning.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Back at the house, four other people are also arrested.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Now, they obviously need investigating,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41cos in the eye of the law, they are in possession of cannabis.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43But you can't just show to a court,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46"Well, we've just "picked on this particular chap."
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Our job then is to determine,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51"Well, actually, who is responsible for this?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53"Who is the person that's supplying these drugs?"
0:17:59 > 0:18:01The scenes-of-crime officers have arrived.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05They'll take photographs of the drugs
0:18:05 > 0:18:08which will later be used as evidence in court.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- What do your spots mean?- No idea.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Those ones there, the smaller ones,
0:18:17 > 0:18:19look like tester samples, you know,
0:18:19 > 0:18:23as if to give them out as a tester. I don't know.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24- What's the difference?- Mmm.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34As the drugs are laid out, the full extent of the find is revealed.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42And there's a lot of it to document.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- 30 bags.- There's 30?
0:18:46 > 0:18:4830, and we reckon a kilo a bag.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- Skunk.- £6,000 a bag.- Bloody hell. - Street?- Mm.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02We've found 30 large bags of...
0:19:02 > 0:19:07Vacuum bags of what we believe to be cannabis.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09It's worth a large amount of money.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12I wouldn't like to put a value on it at the moment,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15but potentially in the region of £200,000,
0:19:15 > 0:19:19but all that will be assessed back at the police station.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24This isn't just the fact that they've got a bin liner
0:19:24 > 0:19:26and stuffed it full of cannabis.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29This is extremely well packaged and sophisticated,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32set up to stop the smell of cannabis
0:19:32 > 0:19:34when they're transporting it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37All from when it's imported from other countries.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41The drugs will be taken to the lab for analysis.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47But the team are going to need a bigger vehicle.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48FEMALE OFFICER LAUGHS
0:19:48 > 0:19:50You've done it before!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05In Leeds, PC Dave Lockwood has been attempting to track down
0:20:05 > 0:20:11and execute a European Arrest Warrant on a suspected criminal.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13He is Rafal Wrzeszcz,
0:20:13 > 0:20:15wanted by the police in Poland in
0:20:15 > 0:20:18connection with robbery and assault.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21We've been looking for this lad for two months, loads and loads
0:20:21 > 0:20:23and loads of work and enquiries.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Dave is briefing his shift partner PC Andy Johnson
0:20:27 > 0:20:30on the recent developments in the case.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Basically, I've been talking to his legal team and we've managed
0:20:33 > 0:20:36to negotiate an agreement where
0:20:36 > 0:20:38he's going to surrender himself today.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41So hopefully he's going to come in within next 20 minutes,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43we'll be arresting him here and then taking him through to custody.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Show me a picture of this lad. - This is the picture.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48He reminds me of...
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Mmm, can't think.- Yourself.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Well, he's got a little bit of resemblance,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56he looks a bit more fair-haired than me. Shall I get in t'back?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- LAUGHING:- Yeah, change jackets.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I don't know what he's going to look like,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- you just have to use that as a guide, don't you?- Yep.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04After being on the run for weeks,
0:21:04 > 0:21:08the fugitive has engaged a solicitor and agreed to hand himself in.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14He claims he's needed time to gather evidence that he can use
0:21:14 > 0:21:16back in Poland to prove his innocence.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Rafal?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Hello. OK, good English?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Er, it's not bad. - You OK, are you OK?- Yeah, yeah.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Would you come down here, pal?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Thanks for coming, have you got all the things you need?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Have you got them with you as well?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Yeah, I have... my passport here.- Yep.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Er, this is my payslips,
0:21:38 > 0:21:43my statement here which prove I've been working at that time.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45OK. Could I just take your passport, please?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48'I have to rely on, you know, what other agencies
0:21:48 > 0:21:51'and other forces tell us, and they've laid the fact out that
0:21:51 > 0:21:54'he's committed these offences and he needs to go deal with them.'
0:21:54 > 0:21:56It doesn't matter
0:21:56 > 0:21:57if I think he's guilty or not,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I do t'job same way, don't I?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Right, I'm arresting you on a European Arrest Warrant
0:22:02 > 0:22:03that's outstanding for you.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05So you do not have to say anything,
0:22:05 > 0:22:08anything you do say may be given in evidence.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11The European Arrest Warrant relates to a robbery which
0:22:11 > 0:22:16occurred in 2008, four section 47 assaults which occurred in 2007
0:22:16 > 0:22:19and a section 18 assault which occurred in 2008.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22You're going to be going to London in the morning,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- you understand all this, don't you? - Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27And your solicitor's meant to have sorted court out ready for you.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Mm-hmm.- Right. OK, let's go through to custody.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30You want me to come with you?
0:22:30 > 0:22:33This European Arrest Warrant's different to the last one,
0:22:33 > 0:22:34different to the one before that,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37and you don't know where it's going to take you
0:22:37 > 0:22:38or where you're going to find them,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40'and what story the individual's going to have
0:22:40 > 0:22:42'or if they're going to talk to you.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45'You just deal with what's in front of you and be right with them...
0:22:45 > 0:22:48'and take it from there.'
0:22:48 > 0:22:50You're producing your bank statement?
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- Yes, from the time, yeah. - So that's during November 2008?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- Yes.- To show where you were.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01En route to custody, Rafal shares the evidence he's gathered.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04He says this proves he was in the UK
0:23:04 > 0:23:07at the time of the alleged offences in Poland.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13The time sheet there for...15th of November 2008.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Then you've got your payslip.- Yes.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- For that period. - This should be enough?
0:23:18 > 0:23:19I can't say, I'm not sure.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21My job's to get you before the court
0:23:21 > 0:23:23and put all the available evidence before the court.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26So I'm putting through the evidence that's come from Poland
0:23:26 > 0:23:29and t'National Crime Agency and what I've collated.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I'll be putting that there. I'll put yours there as well,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35and basically I give everything to the court and they decide tomorrow.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I can't promise you. It's down to the judge, your legal team,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40what happens tomorrow.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Still I get my, all them papers, yeah?- Yeah.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I was very sad, because, you know, how I can...
0:23:45 > 0:23:48So if we'd have got you three weeks ago without those papers,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50you wouldn't have been able to prove your innocence.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Yeah, and then I will get big problems,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55now I've got something so I feel more confident now, yes.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58He was quite a likeable chap when you were talking to him.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02He was working hard here, law-abiding life here,
0:24:02 > 0:24:03not committing any crime.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06He had a good life here, good job, good family,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10so maybe it's just a mistake from the past.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Wrzeszcz later appealed against the extradition,
0:24:13 > 0:24:17but it was rejected by the court in London.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Six months on, he was sent back to Poland to stand trial.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25If you come from one of the Eastern European countries
0:24:25 > 0:24:26and you make a mistake,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29sort it out, cos it won't go away, they don't forget.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Tracking down the wanted when they're on the move
0:24:43 > 0:24:46is the job of the roads policing officers.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49We go out and we tackle
0:24:49 > 0:24:51criminality on the roads,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53criminal use of motor vehicles,
0:24:53 > 0:24:58road traffic offences, general things around the roads.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Why has that just changed its mind, coming out of there?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04PC James Alderson has been part of
0:25:04 > 0:25:08West Yorkshire Roads Crime Team for nearly six years.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10I never know what's going to come,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12never know what's going to be there that day.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13I might get in one day, you know,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16and I might have to go to a serious road traffic collision.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I might get in the next day
0:25:18 > 0:25:20and be taking a car off someone for no insurance.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21You never know.
0:25:21 > 0:25:235-0, can you do me a moving vehicle check, please?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Leeds Road, at Thornbury.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Tonight, James is patrolling Bradford,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31looking out for suspicious vehicles that may be involved in crime.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- OVER RADIO:- 'The driver of the vehicle....'
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Gone, that's where it was.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37'..McMenamin, who's the registered keeper.'
0:25:37 > 0:25:41I come to the junction and there were a couple of cars approaching,
0:25:41 > 0:25:45and I was indicating to go right, and this VW at the very last minute
0:25:45 > 0:25:49when it saw me, it indicated to turn,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51and it was all very last minute,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53which straightaway sets alarm bells ringing in my head.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56"Why has it done that? What's the reason for it?"
0:25:56 > 0:25:58It could be nothing, but it could be
0:25:58 > 0:26:01somebody not wanting to drive past me.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Blues, mate.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09James turns the patrol car's blue lights on as a request
0:26:09 > 0:26:10for the vehicle ahead to stop.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15But it fails to pull over.
0:26:16 > 0:26:185-0, got a vehicle failing to stop.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- 'All right, then.'- The chase is on.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Yeah, Bolton Road -
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Foxtrot, Hotel, 5, 2, Delta, Whisky, Yankee.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26Going to inter-ops.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28SIREN WAILS
0:26:29 > 0:26:315-0.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37'Romeo, 5-0.'
0:26:37 > 0:26:405-0, we've just gone right, right, right, onto Kildare Crescent.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42'If I'm perfectly honest, you don't notice the speed.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45'There's times when you're in pursuit and you think
0:26:45 > 0:26:47'you're doing 30, and you look and you're doing 70.'
0:26:47 > 0:26:51The nature of our job is that we are trained to drive fast
0:26:51 > 0:26:53and we do often drive fast,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55so it's like anything, you become used to it.
0:26:55 > 0:27:01Speed...5-0 miles per hour, risk assessment at this time is low.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Going left, left, left, Ashbourne Drive, it's safe to continue.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09We're down to 2-0mph, we might have some mechanical problems here
0:27:09 > 0:27:12and it's a right, right, right, back alley behind some shops.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Decamp, decamp. Go, Jamie.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18The driver leaves his passengers behind and flees,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22but Special Constable Jamie Brown is closing in fast.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Units to Bolton Lane, please, that's where he's decamped, Bolton Lane.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Then back-up officers arrive. - Spin round!
0:27:30 > 0:27:33He's going to be gone up Bolton Lane. Just watch them.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Jamie's gone down there, but I don't know exactly where he is now, pal.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Vic, he's detained.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47The special constable's efforts have paid off.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Yeah, he got him.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50He's caught up with the driver.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Humberside, go on.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59- Humberside...- Stop shouting.- All right, all right.- Behave yourself.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01We don't want no Humberside here, get a life.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03SUSPECT LAUGHS
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- You got anything you shouldn't have, mate?- No.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14Officers search their detainee, but there's no sign of a car key.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- Are they keys for your house?- Yeah.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21An important piece of evidence that would identify him as the driver.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33- Young man, all right?- All right?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36That weren't the most sensible thing you've ever done, wasn't it?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- Where's t'keys?- What keys?
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It is hard to stay cool and collected when
0:28:43 > 0:28:46you absolutely know 100% that he's the driver and they're...
0:28:46 > 0:28:49They're just blatantly lying to your face, that frustrates you.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50- ..already done it.- No, no, no,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52I'm asking you where t'keys for t'car are,
0:28:52 > 0:28:56since I've just seen you get out of the driver's seat with it.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59All right, kid. Have a nice night in custody, yeah?
0:29:01 > 0:29:03See you, dude.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06'If he wants to play silly beggars'
0:29:06 > 0:29:09and he wants to spend all night in custody because he's going to lie
0:29:09 > 0:29:11and say that he wasn't driving - fine, let him do that.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Everyone can go home. Right, go on.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23With no sign of the keys, the car's passengers face a long walk home.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30But Officer Alderson is convinced he's caught his driver.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Back at the station, he gets a chance to review
0:29:35 > 0:29:37the onboard camera footage.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42I don't particularly believe in luck, because I think you make
0:29:42 > 0:29:45your own luck, but I have to say...
0:29:45 > 0:29:48I don't know what it is, but I have got
0:29:48 > 0:29:51this sort of knack of being in the right place at the right time.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54And tonight, his luck is in.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- OTHER OFFICER LAUGHS - Good effort.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59110% yes, there's no getting out of this.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02We've got his image of him getting out the car.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04He can deny it all he wants,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06but he's going to get charged with this offence.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08After we've interviewed him.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10No court in t'land's going to believe him
0:30:10 > 0:30:12when he says it's not him driving.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Sure enough, the driver was found guilty of dangerous driving
0:30:18 > 0:30:21and theft of a motor vehicle.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25He received a five-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months,
0:30:25 > 0:30:27and was disqualified from driving for a year.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43In Manchester, the Serious Organised Crime Group have arrested
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Jahngeer Ali on suspicion of dealing Class B drugs
0:30:47 > 0:30:51after finding a large amount of cannabis at his address.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Have you conspired with others to supply these controlled drugs?
0:30:58 > 0:30:59No comment.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Is that how you choose to answer all your questions
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- during this interview? - No comment.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07He was challenged on the fact
0:31:07 > 0:31:08that the drugs were found
0:31:08 > 0:31:10in his particular address
0:31:10 > 0:31:11and also the fact
0:31:11 > 0:31:12of these text messages
0:31:12 > 0:31:14on his mobile phone, and he answered
0:31:14 > 0:31:16"no comment" to every single question.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18You were found in possession of a mobile phone.
0:31:18 > 0:31:19No comment.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Jahngeer will have had legal advice and it's not for me to comment on
0:31:22 > 0:31:25his legal advice, but, to me, my own gut feeling is when
0:31:25 > 0:31:27someone's going "no comment" on an interview,
0:31:27 > 0:31:29they've got something to hide.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Albeit they do have a legal right to answer "no comment" if they wish.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40After a successful morning's raid,
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Mark reports back to his boss, DI Robert Cousen.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Where are we at, then, now in terms of the actual investigation?
0:31:48 > 0:31:52Jahngeer's been interviewed and at this stage has gone "no comment",
0:31:52 > 0:31:56and we're currently working our way through the numerous mobile phones
0:31:56 > 0:32:00that were seized up from Jahngeer and his family.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- Any indications at the minute of any...- Yeah.- ..any relevance?
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Yeah, certainly. Incoming messages requesting,
0:32:05 > 0:32:08"Have you got any bud?"
0:32:08 > 0:32:12There's mention about 2.5k.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Various messages indicative of the supply
0:32:15 > 0:32:17and distribution of drugs.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20It's just another nail in his coffin, that, ain't it?
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- Yeah, certainly. - Well, crack on, then.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23- OK.- Excellent.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29But Operation Sustain isn't over yet.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32There's still a question mark over a car seen outside
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Jahngeer Ali's house just before the raid.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Was this the vehicle that delivered the drugs to him?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41We did a lot of investigation surrounding that vehicle -
0:32:41 > 0:32:44who owned the vehicle, who insured the vehicle?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47And try and trace that vehicle and its movements
0:32:47 > 0:32:48for that particular day.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Numberplate recognition technology helped officers
0:32:53 > 0:32:55establish that the car had earlier been driven
0:32:55 > 0:32:58to a motorway service station by these two men.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03What was very unusual is this car is travelling throughout
0:33:03 > 0:33:05the early hours of the morning.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09It's travelling down the M6, down the M1
0:33:09 > 0:33:11at sort of two, three o'clock in the morning.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Very unusual when you look at the pattern of it,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16of its movements prior to it.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19It just wasn't right, and my initial hunch
0:33:19 > 0:33:23and suspicion was that this car has travelled down somewhere
0:33:23 > 0:33:26to collect a commodity to bring it back up to Oldham.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Police identified one of the men on the CCTV
0:33:32 > 0:33:35as 37-year-old Sohile Earfan.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39They found that he was both the owner of the vehicle
0:33:39 > 0:33:41and the insured driver.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45We're just leaving now, should be
0:33:45 > 0:33:47at the RV point in about 15 minutes.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Further enquiries led officers to Earfan's address
0:33:55 > 0:33:57in the Rusholme area of Manchester.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Straight across.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Sure enough, the car was parked outside.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16We believe that that vehicle had transported those drugs
0:34:16 > 0:34:19from a location in London back up into Oldham.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22As a result of that, with an inspector's authority,
0:34:22 > 0:34:27we took that vehicle for forensic examination to look for any other
0:34:27 > 0:34:31identifiable property or any further evidence to support this case.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38Earfan was later cleared of any involvement in drugs offences.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41However, he was also found to be living in the UK illegally
0:34:41 > 0:34:42and was deported.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Can you just make sure that you've notified West Yorks
0:34:48 > 0:34:50that you're on their patch?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52'Yeah, I'm doing it, just stand by.'
0:34:52 > 0:34:56But the hunt for the second man on the CCTV footage continued.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Police soon identified him.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25With a population of over two million, West Yorkshire Police
0:35:25 > 0:35:28have high crime rates to deal with
0:35:28 > 0:35:31and a long wanted list to work through.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33It's a multicultural city, is Bradford.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35You work there long enough,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37you get used to it and you know how to police it.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38It's not always easy,
0:35:38 > 0:35:40and you take more stick than
0:35:40 > 0:35:43you maybe do in other places, but you just...
0:35:43 > 0:35:45you get on with it, you deal with it.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Steph, you monitoring?
0:35:50 > 0:35:51INDISTINCT REPLY
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Thank you. It's Victor, 9, 5, 4.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Tonight, Roads Policing Officer James Alderson
0:35:57 > 0:36:00is back on patrol in Bradford.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Started down Leeds Road and just had a car set t'speed camera off
0:36:03 > 0:36:06trying to get away from me, but he's slowed down now.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10'..believe it were involved in a make off...'
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Yeah, it's a silver Avensis.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Turn it off.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Just have a jump out for us, mate.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21What's happened?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Just want to have a chat with you, that's all.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Just have a seat in our cab. Watch the rest of them, mate.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28Jump in our motor.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Jump in there. You're a disqualified driver, aren't you?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Are you not any more?
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Are you sure?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39All right, watch your arm, let me shut t'door.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Cos I've met you before,
0:36:46 > 0:36:49you've met me before, and we know we don't mess about, all right?
0:36:49 > 0:36:52You're disqualified, and you're still disqualified.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53You said this last time.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56You said the exact same thing the last time I dealt with you
0:36:56 > 0:36:59about 12 months ago, that you were disqualified...
0:37:02 > 0:37:03Saying what, though?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Right, that might be the case but you still...
0:37:08 > 0:37:10If that is the case and you have got a letter
0:37:10 > 0:37:13saying your disqualification has ended - which it hasn't,
0:37:13 > 0:37:15cos you're disqualified until the 7th of the 11th,
0:37:15 > 0:37:18you're still only a provisional driving licence holder.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20I'm getting deja vu from 12 months ago here.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27We're having the same conversation that we had 12 months ago.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29We're going to end up same as we did last time.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31All right, I'm going to interview you at t'roadside
0:37:31 > 0:37:33about your disqualification.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34All right?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Do you want some legal advice before we do the interview?
0:37:40 > 0:37:44You do know the basics, cos we've done this before, haven't we?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I didn't go to court last time.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Really? So how come you got disqualified again?
0:38:02 > 0:38:06PNC shows that you're disqualified, do you have any comment to that?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Right, so you deny, you deny that you're driving without insurance
0:38:14 > 0:38:17and driving whilst disqualified? Do you deny it?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Yeah, I know, it's weird, innit?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Mmm.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37We all have to pay insurance premiums
0:38:37 > 0:38:41if we want to be legal and legitimate, and unfortunately,
0:38:41 > 0:38:44the comeback of these criminals driving without insurance
0:38:44 > 0:38:48and without licences and being involved in collisions maybe,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51is that our premiums go up and we have to pay more
0:38:51 > 0:38:54towards insurance because they do what they're doing.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57It's a vicious circle, you know, they're driving without documents
0:38:57 > 0:38:59because they can't afford insurance, but by driving
0:38:59 > 0:39:03without documents they're actually bumping the insurance up more.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05So we're the victims.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Right, mate, last thing to say is that you're reported for
0:39:09 > 0:39:11driving whilst disqualified and using a vehicle
0:39:11 > 0:39:12without insurance. Got any reply?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17I'll get you your seizure notice in a minute.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Seizure notice.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Seizing the vehicle.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Cos you don't have any insurance or a licence.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Right, well, I know you haven't, so...
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Every time we have this game, don't we?
0:39:28 > 0:39:31We have this game, where you deny it and I say you are,
0:39:31 > 0:39:35and you say you don't, but you know the score, all right?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40So, the man has been caught again for driving
0:39:40 > 0:39:41with no licence or insurance.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47With his car impounded, he had to walk home.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50He was eventually given a conditional discharge,
0:39:50 > 0:39:55six points endorsed on his licence and a £15 fine.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- Police!- Police!- Police!
0:40:08 > 0:40:11In Greater Manchester, the drugs operation code-named Sustain
0:40:11 > 0:40:14came to a successful end.
0:40:15 > 0:40:1630 bags.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Three people were arrested, including
0:40:18 > 0:40:20their main target, Jahngeer Ali.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27He was charged with conspiracy to supply Class B drugs
0:40:27 > 0:40:30with a street value of £300,000.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36After pleading guilty, he was sentenced to four years
0:40:36 > 0:40:37and six months in prison.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41It couldn't have been a better result for us.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44The fact that we've made this arrest, that we've recovered
0:40:44 > 0:40:46such a large amount of drugs,
0:40:46 > 0:40:48it's just the icing on the cake.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Investigations like Operation Sustain just show
0:40:53 > 0:40:57how much drugs are actually out there and how much hard work
0:40:57 > 0:41:01we put in to dismantling these organised crime groups.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Now we've taken out people like your Jahngeer Ali,
0:41:03 > 0:41:05we're clearing up the streets,
0:41:05 > 0:41:07we're getting rid of these individuals
0:41:07 > 0:41:10that are impacting heavily on our communities.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Shahnawaz Qumer, caught on CCTV while suspected of
0:41:17 > 0:41:20delivering cannabis to Ali,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23was eventually detained during the investigation.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27You said that you did not know Jahngeer Ali,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30but contained within the phone seized of Jahngeer Ali
0:41:30 > 0:41:33is your number saved as Shani.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35No comment.
0:41:35 > 0:41:36You've contacted him 136 times,
0:41:36 > 0:41:39how do you account for that?
0:41:39 > 0:41:40I haven't.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42- Who has? - No idea.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Shahnawaz Qumer said he didn't know Jahngeer Ali on interview.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51What we found on Jahngeer Ali's phone is Shahnawaz Qumer's name
0:41:51 > 0:41:54and telephone number on his phone.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Quite clearly not telling the truth
0:41:56 > 0:41:59on interview of how he does actually know Jahngeer Ali.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04The trip which we saw you captured on CCTV cameras,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06was that in the Volkswagen Passat?
0:42:06 > 0:42:07No comment.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Well, who drove that car to those service stations?
0:42:10 > 0:42:11No comment.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Have you conspired with others to
0:42:14 > 0:42:16import controlled drugs into the UK?
0:42:16 > 0:42:19No.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Are you under any duress to conduct criminal acts
0:42:22 > 0:42:24in fear of your own or another's life?
0:42:24 > 0:42:26No.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Following this interview, Qumer was also charged with
0:42:29 > 0:42:31conspiring to supply drugs.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35He was later convicted and jailed
0:42:35 > 0:42:37for two years and three months.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42A positive outcome for the Greater Manchester Force
0:42:42 > 0:42:44and its Serious Organised Crime Group.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48I joined the police for quite a specific reason, and to me,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50it's quite an interesting reason.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54One particular night I went out with me dad for a pint
0:42:54 > 0:42:57and we called at an off-licence to get him some cigarettes.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00And as we went round the back there was clearly an armed robbery
0:43:00 > 0:43:01going on, which ended up
0:43:01 > 0:43:05us tackling these armed robbers and they eventually got detained
0:43:05 > 0:43:07and were arrested a few weeks down the line.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10So that inspired me to become a police officer,
0:43:10 > 0:43:11and hence the reason why I think
0:43:11 > 0:43:14I've moved into the Serious and Organised Crime Group,
0:43:14 > 0:43:17because that is the type of stuff that interests me.
