0:00:10 > 0:00:12Where is it?

0:00:12 > 0:00:13This one here.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22Are you going to ram it?

0:00:23 > 0:00:25On two...

0:00:27 > 0:00:28Go.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30- Police!- Police raid!- Police!

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Every day in the UK, the police are on the hunt

0:00:36 > 0:00:38for known and suspected criminals.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40Get back from the door!

0:00:40 > 0:00:44They're armed with warrants and big red keys.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47The Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire forces have granted

0:00:47 > 0:00:50exclusive access to their raids.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Police!- Drop to the ground!

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Their officers are wearing special equipment

0:00:55 > 0:00:57to give you a cop's-eye view

0:00:57 > 0:01:00and bring you closer to the action than ever before.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03What's your name?!

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Britain's streets are a battleground.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07- Stay back.- Stay out of the way. - No, stay back...

0:01:07 > 0:01:12On one side are the men and women fighting to keep us safe,

0:01:12 > 0:01:14and on the other are the wanted.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25Greater Manchester - a population of two and a half million

0:01:25 > 0:01:29and a police force of nearly 7,000.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32INDISTINCT CHATTER

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Eight of those officers are in the Divisional Tasking Team in Oldham.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Two are preparing for their night shift.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45'We work at Oldham Divisional Tasking Team where basically'

0:01:45 > 0:01:48we locate wanted people. That's our main target -

0:01:48 > 0:01:49people who are wanted for crime.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51They're a little bit hard to find

0:01:51 > 0:01:53so we have to do a lot of digging,

0:01:53 > 0:01:57go to loads of addresses sometimes to find these people,

0:01:57 > 0:01:59lock them up and get them before the courts.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05This team deal with those wanted for low-level crimes

0:02:05 > 0:02:10committed by everyone from novice law breakers to serial offenders.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13A lad here, Carl Warren is wanted times six.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15We've had no intel on him for ages.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18It's just come to light now he might be in Warrington.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20It's a good hour to get there, an hour back, but it's worth it -

0:02:20 > 0:02:21he's a good prisoner.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Just causes loads of problem when he's on the run.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Right, I'll see you there, then, mate.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Officers Cross and Rawcliffe have been tracking down

0:02:33 > 0:02:36wanted suspects together for the last six years.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38When you're working in a small unit,

0:02:38 > 0:02:39you get to know each other well,

0:02:39 > 0:02:42you get to know, you know, bits about their personal life -

0:02:42 > 0:02:45what they like, what they don't like, what winds them up,

0:02:45 > 0:02:46what doesn't wind them up -

0:02:46 > 0:02:48and, you know, you have the banter.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51'But it's all part of being a small team

0:02:51 > 0:02:55'and you know when you arrive at an address what each person's

0:02:55 > 0:02:57'going to do and how they will react to certain things.'

0:02:57 > 0:02:59You know you've got backup there.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05So the hunt for Carl Warren begins.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08He's been successfully avoiding his pursuers for weeks

0:03:08 > 0:03:10and has even taunted them.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13Thing is, he laughs...

0:03:13 > 0:03:16In fact, last time I spoke to him on the phone -

0:03:16 > 0:03:18not this time, this one, to the time before -

0:03:18 > 0:03:22he said to me on the phone, "Cross, you'll never find me."

0:03:22 > 0:03:24A week later, he was in custody,

0:03:24 > 0:03:26so it was quite funny, actually.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32The officers don't have definite information about

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Warren's current address

0:03:34 > 0:03:36but they do have his last one.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Hello, sir, it's the police.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Hello, sir, sorry to trouble you. It's the police.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Nothing for you to worry about at all. Erm...

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Is... Does Carl live here?

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Carl?- Carl Warren.- No, no.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Did he used to? Is there a story there?

0:03:55 > 0:03:56He's... I've not seen Carl Warren

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- since he went back to Oldham. - Oh, right.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01'To find one person,'

0:04:01 > 0:04:03we can do 15 addresses.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07It starts off nice and tidy at the first one, home address,

0:04:07 > 0:04:09Mum and Dad, brother, sister,

0:04:09 > 0:04:13and then we have to expand it then to friends, associates,

0:04:13 > 0:04:16erm, criminal associates,

0:04:16 > 0:04:20'because they're like little rats hiding away everywhere.'

0:04:20 > 0:04:22They may not have found Warren at the address

0:04:22 > 0:04:27but their enquiries in the area have yielded valuable information.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30We've just been to the secondary address,

0:04:30 > 0:04:32which was on his intelligence last year.

0:04:32 > 0:04:37Spoke to, erm, a fellow at this address,

0:04:37 > 0:04:38who does know the offender Carl Warren,

0:04:38 > 0:04:41because his son's an associate of his

0:04:41 > 0:04:44and he's been seen in this area, I think it was last week,

0:04:44 > 0:04:46and certainly within the last month,

0:04:46 > 0:04:50in his stepson's vehicle,

0:04:50 > 0:04:52so we've got the name of that stepson.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54So we'll go there now and see if he's in.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Street crime is usually mopped up by uniformed officers.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Right, we're going to be executing a warrant shortly,

0:05:17 > 0:05:20and that is the home address of Andrew McFadyen.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23But when the criminals step up a gear,

0:05:23 > 0:05:27it's the Serious Organised Crime Group that hunts them down.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Basically, intelligence indicates that he is a drug dealer

0:05:29 > 0:05:32so we're going to be searching that house for drugs

0:05:32 > 0:05:34and any other related paraphernalia. In terms of...

0:05:34 > 0:05:36'It can be a difficult job.'

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Could be recovering a load of drugs from a drug dealer.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40It could be helping someone who's been burgled.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42It could be someone who's been a victim of assault.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45There's so many different things, and they'll look

0:05:45 > 0:05:47to someone to come and help them, and you can come in there and try

0:05:47 > 0:05:51and hopefully solve the crime, or get some kind of result for people.

0:05:51 > 0:05:56The team's latest target is 40-year-old Andrew McFadyen,

0:05:56 > 0:06:01who also has a previous conviction for drug dealing.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03In terms of him, his warning markers are for drugs

0:06:03 > 0:06:05and failing to appear.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08He is currently on licence until around 2016,

0:06:08 > 0:06:12in relation to being in possession with intent to supply.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14He does have a violence marker.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17He has been locked up for an affray back in 2004.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20There's no intelligence or information regarding him

0:06:20 > 0:06:21being in possession of any weapons.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Erm, when we go to the address, we're going to be forcing entry

0:06:24 > 0:06:27straight away and going into the address. It's quite a big premises.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30I'm concerned if we end up knocking on the door, and there is any

0:06:30 > 0:06:33controlled substance in there, that could be flushed or destroyed.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37I could do with two going round the back with a sledgehammer.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Any volunteers for that?

0:06:39 > 0:06:40How do we get round the back? Do we know?

0:06:40 > 0:06:43You're going to have to go to here.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Basically, the back of this address is just fields.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Erm, any questions?

0:06:48 > 0:06:49No.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50No? Right, let's get on the road.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56Briefed, kitted up, ready for action,

0:06:56 > 0:06:58but however good the preparations,

0:06:58 > 0:07:01the team can never predict what awaits them.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04'You look to see, do they carry weapons all the time,'

0:07:04 > 0:07:07or do they use violence against people?

0:07:07 > 0:07:10But that doesn't really mean you can get an accurate picture of someone.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13If he's had a particularly bad day or if he's used drugs that day

0:07:13 > 0:07:14or there's a million things that could mean

0:07:14 > 0:07:16he could have a particularly short fuse

0:07:16 > 0:07:19if seven, eight people come bursting through his door.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21'So you just try and plan for everything,'

0:07:21 > 0:07:24always assume potentially there could be some risk,

0:07:24 > 0:07:26get control of everyone, make sure no-one's in kitchens

0:07:26 > 0:07:29and things like that, so that the risk to us is as low as possible.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Oldham PCs Kev Rawcliffe and Phil Cross

0:07:49 > 0:07:52are on the hunt for a wanted man.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56You might have to ask Mike the exact details of the want...

0:07:56 > 0:07:59the various wanteds that there is now...

0:07:59 > 0:08:02He's always... He's got, like, loads of restraining orders.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04He's always breaching them.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Their search for Carl Warren has led them to Warrington in Cheshire.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15He's been on the run for three months

0:08:15 > 0:08:18and has now found a new hiding place.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Not for the first time.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24When he's wanted, always, nearly always,

0:08:24 > 0:08:27goes off area or away from division.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31He's always really hard to... you know, get hold of.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Again, he's a lad with a load of contacts,

0:08:33 > 0:08:36'who can quite easily just walk away from the division

0:08:36 > 0:08:39'and go and, you know, get his head down wherever.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41'He needed catching.'

0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Spoke to him about the mic in case he comes out.- Erm...

0:08:47 > 0:08:48Can you get round the back?

0:08:50 > 0:08:53473, showing the shop, this one on the corner.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56There's not a back door to a flat there, is there?

0:08:56 > 0:08:59The address we were at was an associate of his,

0:08:59 > 0:09:02and we believed that person to be on a curfew,

0:09:02 > 0:09:05so we were confident that he would be in.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Push-bike and...- Eh?

0:09:14 > 0:09:16All sorts of...

0:09:16 > 0:09:17Is that a shop front?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Yes, but it takes you...

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Excuse me, sorry. It takes you through that way,

0:09:22 > 0:09:24so there's nothing there apart from a shop front,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26which is going to take you that way,

0:09:26 > 0:09:28so I'm guessing it's going to be these here.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32HE KNOCKS ON WINDOW

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Thank you.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37Erm, officers from the GMP

0:09:37 > 0:09:40are trying to effect an arrest attempt at 47...

0:09:40 > 0:09:43There were officers at the back, we were at the front,

0:09:43 > 0:09:46and despite banging, kicking the door,

0:09:46 > 0:09:50all sorts of verbal communications through the letterbox,

0:09:50 > 0:09:51we got no response.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54We made a decision at that stage that there's a good chance

0:09:54 > 0:09:57he's going to be here, and we intended to smash the door in.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59- WOMAN:- Contact.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- He's here. He's just packing his bag.- Right.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07- He's here.- Right, he's here.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Just step back from the door. Just open the door and step back.

0:10:12 > 0:10:13'Because it wasn't his address,

0:10:13 > 0:10:17- 'he probably thought, "Right, now's a good time to give myself up."- '

0:10:17 > 0:10:19- It's not opening.- Eh?

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Why's the door not opening?

0:10:21 > 0:10:23I don't know. Your door, not mine.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Inside, they find their fugitive.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31How are you, Carl?

0:10:31 > 0:10:32Mr Cross has got you.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35- LAUGHTER - How are you, mate? Are you OK?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Long time.- OK, I was just letting your... The bag...

0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Does that come with me? - Yeah, yeah, course it does.

0:10:41 > 0:10:42Cheers, mate.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44I could hear him behind the door saying,

0:10:44 > 0:10:46"Hold on, hold on, I'm just packing my bag,"

0:10:46 > 0:10:48'and fair enough, when his friend opened the door,

0:10:48 > 0:10:50'he was stood there with his bag in his hand.'

0:10:50 > 0:10:55Pyjamas and his toothbrush and his Sure deodorant.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Because some of the offences that you've been arrested for...

0:11:00 > 0:11:01What offences?

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Well, you're going to be told that in a second.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Yeah, we'll give you the list in one minute.- There's six of them.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08- What?- There's six of them.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Right, let's get him secured in the van, and then come back.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Warren's three months of evading justice are over.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17You didn't expect to see us here, did you?

0:11:17 > 0:11:20We just had a phone call saying you were in Warrington.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22- Right. - LAUGHTER

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Sit on that, by that window.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28'Great result for us,

0:11:28 > 0:11:30'and a good, good result for the division, really,

0:11:30 > 0:11:34'because all those crimes were showing on the division

0:11:34 > 0:11:37'side of things as undetected, so it paid off.'

0:11:37 > 0:11:40All that hard work from us, and perseverance, has paid off,

0:11:40 > 0:11:42so, yeah, it was a good result.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55Following his arrest, Carl Warren was formally charged

0:11:55 > 0:11:58for the breach of his order.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01He was later sentenced to 17 weeks in prison.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19In Greater Manchester, the Serious Organised Crime Group

0:12:19 > 0:12:22are on their way to execute a warrant.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Andrew McFadyen is wanted on suspicion of

0:12:32 > 0:12:34the intent to supply class B drugs.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40MACHINE BEEPS

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Right, I'm putting it next door.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44- What number are we after? - This one here.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Got to ram it.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58One, two...

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Go.- Police! - Police!- Police raid!- Police!- Police!

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Where is that room?

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Police, police, police! Show yourselves!

0:13:10 > 0:13:11'It's a bit strange, really,

0:13:11 > 0:13:14cos you go in there, you're obviously hyped, thinking,

0:13:14 > 0:13:17is it going to be people sitting on a couch who are just compliant?

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Is it going to be ten guys who want to fight?

0:13:19 > 0:13:22And you get in there, and you're obviously in someone's home

0:13:22 > 0:13:23and they don't know you're in their home.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Clear. Clear.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28'That's normally a little bit, sort of, surreal, I find.'

0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Clear upstairs.- Anyone? - Clear. Anyone?- Clear.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35'He is a drug dealer. He's received a custodial sentence

0:13:35 > 0:13:36'and he'd just been released,

0:13:36 > 0:13:38'so he's still on licence for drug dealing.'

0:13:38 > 0:13:40- Clear top room.- Cool. All clear!

0:13:40 > 0:13:43'He had some kind of job doing some kind of manual labour'

0:13:43 > 0:13:47but when you looked at his house, it looked very affluent.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49It was very nicely done up.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51It looked like someone who earned a lot more money lived there.

0:13:51 > 0:13:52Have you got a search kit?

0:13:52 > 0:13:54Yeah, there's one in the back of my car.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57No-one is in the house,

0:13:57 > 0:14:00but when officers have already obtained a warrant,

0:14:00 > 0:14:03they can search it for any evidence of drug dealing.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08'We split off into teams of two

0:14:08 > 0:14:12'and we just start working our way through the house.'

0:14:12 > 0:14:14'The house was a three-storey townhouse.'

0:14:14 > 0:14:17On the ground floor was a garage, a kitchen,

0:14:17 > 0:14:20and me and my colleague, Wes Knights,

0:14:20 > 0:14:22we started in the garage,

0:14:22 > 0:14:26'started searching round the garage

0:14:26 > 0:14:29'and we found a suitcase in the corner of the garage.'

0:14:34 > 0:14:37One, two, three,

0:14:37 > 0:14:40four, five,

0:14:40 > 0:14:42six, seven.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44What do you reckon that is, mate?

0:14:44 > 0:14:48- By the appearance, it's amphetamines, Sergeant.- Very good.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Right.- All right.- Very good.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58I'll just make sure we're getting all the photos and everything.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01We've got about seven kilos of amphet in the garage

0:15:01 > 0:15:03so can you make sure phones come in?

0:15:06 > 0:15:09There's another couple here. Sarge!

0:15:10 > 0:15:13How many more is it, Wes?

0:15:13 > 0:15:18Another three, but, I mean, they do look slightly dinky, these.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Another three here, mate. - Another three kilos?

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Three more in a bag on top of the fridge.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27When we go into an address like that, just because McFadyen

0:15:27 > 0:15:29is a drug dealer, we have to be reasonably open.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31He could turn round and say,

0:15:31 > 0:15:33"I didn't know anything about those drugs."

0:15:33 > 0:15:36So we need to have quite an open mind so people who are living

0:15:36 > 0:15:38in that address and have control of that address,

0:15:38 > 0:15:40initially they will be treated as suspects.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41Andrew David McFadyen.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Yep.

0:15:47 > 0:15:48He's only just...

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- 1st August, so his brand-new passport.- Take that, mate.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54When you find a significant amount like that, it's always good.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56It's getting product off the streets, potentially

0:15:56 > 0:16:00dangerous drugs which could harm people when they take it.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02It's good cos it's harming the dealers themselves.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04You know, that's a lot of money,

0:16:04 > 0:16:06there's a lot of investment in these drugs from them

0:16:06 > 0:16:09so that's financially harming them and it's always really good

0:16:09 > 0:16:12for the team cos the team will get buoyed up by that.

0:16:12 > 0:16:13It's really positive result

0:16:13 > 0:16:17and everyone will be buzzing after a result like that.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31To the east of Greater Manchester are the Pennines

0:16:31 > 0:16:34and across these hills is West Yorkshire.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42Its beautiful country landscapes attract hordes of tourists.

0:16:44 > 0:16:49But its big towns and cities also have their share of urban crime.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Did you hear about the robberies yesterday?

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Ken Robbo rang me and said they're linking them.

0:16:56 > 0:17:01'Here, uniformed officers have their own wanted list.

0:17:01 > 0:17:06'They're taking part in a crackdown known as Operation Keyman.'

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Operation Keyman is an operation that's run in Bradford

0:17:09 > 0:17:13just to focus on the arrests of wanted people.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16We get so distracted on dealing with other things and...

0:17:16 > 0:17:19whether it be paperwork and bureaucracy and things like that.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22And it's just really, get out, find people that are wanted, lock 'em up,

0:17:22 > 0:17:25bring them in and they'll get dealt with.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27What's this guy called, then?

0:17:27 > 0:17:33Shazam Hussain, born in 1990, he's wanted for an assault.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Happened back in March, he's been wanted for quite a while

0:17:35 > 0:17:38so we'll see whether he's there cos the intel says that the father

0:17:38 > 0:17:42confirms he's living at the address. So we shall see.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46The team have been searching for this suspect for five months.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49He's been avoiding his known address.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04Today the team have received new information about Hussain.

0:18:04 > 0:18:10He's been spotted coming and going from this house in Bradford.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Morning, I'm looking for Shazam.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Can I have a word for a second? Who else is here?

0:18:16 > 0:18:19It was a young child who answered the door, it was a young boy

0:18:19 > 0:18:22who initially said that he wasn't in and you just get that sense

0:18:22 > 0:18:25or that little feeling that, "That's not right, I think maybe he is,"

0:18:25 > 0:18:28so we sort of asked if we could come in, which he let us.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32- Where will he be at the moment? - I don't know.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34- OK, does he have a bedroom here? - Yeah.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36Can you show us his bedroom?

0:18:36 > 0:18:40The officers believe their suspect is inside the house

0:18:40 > 0:18:43and, because he's classed as a wanted person,

0:18:43 > 0:18:46they have legal powers to search it.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Shazam?

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Hi, how are you doing, just sit down there for two seconds.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54What have you got behind your back? All right, cool.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Do you know why we're here? - I don't, no.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58OK, so you're wanted for an offence of assault, OK,

0:18:58 > 0:19:00that happened on the 23rd March of this year.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03At the moment, you're going to be arrested on suspicion of that.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06I'm going to caution you, you don't have to say anything but it may harm

0:19:06 > 0:19:08your defence if you don't mention when questioned

0:19:08 > 0:19:10something which you later rely on in court.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Anything you do say may be given in evidence.- OK.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14I'm just going to let my colleague do a quick search of you.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Have you got anything in your pockets or anything like that

0:19:17 > 0:19:20that could hurt you or me? No, sure?

0:19:20 > 0:19:22Just turn around and face the bed.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24It's easier to do it that way, mate.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Where was this?

0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Pocket?- Yeah, his pocket. Come out with the tissues, yeah.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Can I put on my T-shirt and jacket?

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Just bear with us, we'll sort that out in two seconds.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40I'm going to further arrest you for possession of cannabis, OK?

0:19:40 > 0:19:43I'm going to remind you that you're under caution

0:19:43 > 0:19:44and you don't have to say anything.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Do you need anything to take with you? I see there's a phone

0:19:47 > 0:19:49- down there, do you need that? - Yeah, I'll take my phone.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Some tissues have come out of his pocket, I've seen a bag of cannabis.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55I thought, "Right, there's another offence, there."

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Arrested for that and I took him down to the van

0:19:58 > 0:20:00with another officer.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03There was no reason up to that point, because he'd been arrested

0:20:03 > 0:20:06for assault, necessarily to search for the offence of assault.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09Having found the drugs, though, it was quite clear this could be

0:20:09 > 0:20:11somebody with a habit, there could be other things in the room.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13We're lawfully on the premises,

0:20:13 > 0:20:16we've therefore got the power to then search.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Just watch your step up there, mate. All right?

0:20:28 > 0:20:30I've taken him to the van, we've placed him in the cage of the van.

0:20:30 > 0:20:34As I'm done, sort of thing, I've been contacted on the radio

0:20:34 > 0:20:37by PC Boswell to say come back upstairs.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Still in the same one?

0:20:40 > 0:20:43PC Boswell has discovered further evidence

0:20:43 > 0:20:45of potential criminal activity.

0:20:45 > 0:20:49There was that amount of money, that and that, all folded up in that bag.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51There's all them.

0:20:51 > 0:20:56Empty dealer bags, what I believe are dealer bags at the moment,

0:20:56 > 0:20:58So I'm going to go through it with a fine tooth comb

0:20:58 > 0:21:01- just in case there's owt.- Right, OK.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Then we continued to search his room. It wasn't a big room

0:21:03 > 0:21:06by any stretch. There was, I think from memory, a wardrobe or two

0:21:06 > 0:21:08and couple of sets of drawers.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11'And then we found some further stuff.'

0:21:11 > 0:21:13In the jacket, just down at the bottom of the bed there,

0:21:13 > 0:21:15I think it's got some cash in the top pocket.

0:21:15 > 0:21:20In this bottom pocket here is a carrier bag.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24There's about I would say 15 maybe dealer bags that looks as though

0:21:24 > 0:21:27it's got cannabis inside. It's definitely green vegetable matter,

0:21:27 > 0:21:29smells distinctly of cannabis as well.

0:21:29 > 0:21:34Coupled with what we've found in terms of the bags and the cash,

0:21:34 > 0:21:36another couple of sort of standard Nokia phones that are used,

0:21:36 > 0:21:39then this gentleman will be getting arrested further on suspicion

0:21:39 > 0:21:42of possession with intent to supply cannabis.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45There's clearly signs of dealing from the dealer bags, from the cash,

0:21:45 > 0:21:46from the phones.

0:21:46 > 0:21:50So what is it? Is it top, top left pocket, top left heart pocket?

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Probably say it's good bobbying and, you know, that's what

0:21:54 > 0:21:57people would expect and the public would expect bobbies to be doing,

0:21:57 > 0:22:00police officers to be doing, going out and being thorough

0:22:00 > 0:22:03and looking for those extra things but with an element of luck,

0:22:03 > 0:22:06I would suggest, as well.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10The police search ended with Shazam Hussain admitting to possession

0:22:10 > 0:22:12of the drugs but not supply.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15He received a fixed penalty notice.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19No further action was taken regarding the alleged assault.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Earlier in Manchester, the Serious Organised Crime Group

0:22:30 > 0:22:33raided the home of a known drug dealer.

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Go. Police!- Police!- Police!

0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Stay where you are.- Police!- Police!

0:22:43 > 0:22:48Andrew McFadyen has already served one jail sentence.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52The search of his house means he's in serious trouble again.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56Reviewing some intelligence and we've seen Mr...

0:22:56 > 0:22:59The individual who lives with Andrew McFadyen, he is involved

0:22:59 > 0:23:02and linked to drugs, so based on that, we've gone to the magistrates.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04They've given us a warrant to come and search this premises,

0:23:04 > 0:23:07and on doing so, we've found this large quantity of what

0:23:07 > 0:23:11we suspect to be amphetamine, so we're just in the process of trying

0:23:11 > 0:23:14to find Mr McFadyen, so then we can speak to him regarding this.

0:23:16 > 0:23:23The stash of drugs has an estimated street value of £400,000.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26The priority is to take it out of circulation,

0:23:26 > 0:23:31identify the owner and ask some serious questions.

0:23:31 > 0:23:32Just finishing getting all the exhibits

0:23:32 > 0:23:34and everything bagged and tagged.

0:23:34 > 0:23:35They could come back to the address

0:23:35 > 0:23:38so with that in mind, we're going to keep a couple of officers here,

0:23:38 > 0:23:40just in case that does happen,

0:23:40 > 0:23:43and they can then obviously effect the arrest, if they do come back.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47Detective Sergeant Meeney's hunch,

0:23:47 > 0:23:50that the suspect would return to the house soon,

0:23:50 > 0:23:52proved to be correct.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54'I was standing on the landing on the first floor'

0:23:54 > 0:23:56which is where the main living room is,

0:23:56 > 0:24:00cos it's a townhouse, and I just saw this van coming along.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06- Yeah, it's him.- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:24:17 > 0:24:20'I went downstairs. I went flying out the door,

0:24:20 > 0:24:22'at which point, he'd just finished his three-point turn

0:24:22 > 0:24:24'and he was just accelerating away.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27'So I managed to get the reg of the vehicle,'

0:24:27 > 0:24:32to pass that to other officers in the area to try and locate.

0:24:32 > 0:24:33For a white flat-back truck...

0:24:33 > 0:24:37believed to have an Andrew McFadyen on board

0:24:37 > 0:24:42who can be arrested once the vehicle's stopped and he's on board.

0:24:42 > 0:24:44To me, initially, it showed, A, he knows there's something

0:24:44 > 0:24:47criminal in that house, so that for me was a really important fact.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50If he was to turn round and at a later date say,

0:24:50 > 0:24:51"I had no idea what was in my garage.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54"Someone could have put it there I didn't know who put it there."

0:24:54 > 0:24:57That wouldn't explain the way that he drove off.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59WHISTLING

0:24:59 > 0:25:02The drugs were later taken to the laboratory to be tested

0:25:02 > 0:25:05and the house was made secure.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07Following that, we then start what we call a manhunt,

0:25:07 > 0:25:09which is just trying to find him,

0:25:09 > 0:25:11and there's lots of different tactics of things

0:25:11 > 0:25:13we would do to try and find him.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Yes, mate, what we'll do is, we're just going to go and just do

0:25:17 > 0:25:19a general area search around Oxendale

0:25:19 > 0:25:22cos it's a previous address of his. So if you stick with us, follow us

0:25:22 > 0:25:25and then keep an eye out for him on foot, generally, in the area.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28That manhunt is now on.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32All units are put on high alert to look out for McFadyen and his truck.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52I'm hoping, of course, Michael,

0:25:52 > 0:25:57- this kid doesn't know he's wanted. - We'll see.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01In Bradford, Sergeant Mike Cox and his team are still rounding up

0:26:01 > 0:26:04their wanted criminals as part of Operation Keyman.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07'Operation Keyman's been really, really effective.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09There's a push every day for the cops going out

0:26:09 > 0:26:12on the streets of "here's your current list of wanted people"

0:26:12 > 0:26:14but they've got to balance with going to 999 calls,

0:26:14 > 0:26:17dealing with everything else that your general, day-to-day,

0:26:17 > 0:26:19you know, policing work involves.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22This time their target is Shuel Ali,

0:26:22 > 0:26:26wanted on a suspected burglary charge.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28He's already known to the police.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32Come on, then, mate, how are you doing?

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Well, sit up, mate, and I'll have a quick chat with you.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Just sit yourself up.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Officers find two brothers at the address -

0:26:39 > 0:26:43both bear a strong resemblance to the photo of the wanted suspect.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45- What's your... What's your name? - Shuel.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Eh?- Shuel.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51That's you. Stick some clothes on.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Yeah, are you decent? - No, I'm not.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Right, well, you're going to have to jump out, decent or not,

0:26:58 > 0:26:59stick some underwear on.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02I've had a copy of the photograph, of which Alex hasn't.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05I think Alex has spoken to the lad in the bed and got his details.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08I've compared to the lad that I've found in the bed to the photo,

0:27:08 > 0:27:10and been fairly certain, shall we say,

0:27:10 > 0:27:12that he was the lad on the photograph,

0:27:12 > 0:27:16so I've duly arrested him on suspicion of the burglary.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Right, OK, you're under arrest, OK? - What is that for, then?

0:27:19 > 0:27:20On suspicion of burglary.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Burglary?- Yeah.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24When I caution you, you don't have to say anything

0:27:24 > 0:27:26but it may harm your defence if you don't mention

0:27:26 > 0:27:28when questioned something you later rely on in court.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30Anything you do or say can be given in evidence.

0:27:30 > 0:27:34- OK?- Are you sure?- Yeah. Jump up.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37The one that I arrested and the one that I spoke to

0:27:37 > 0:27:39was telling me that he wasn't who we were after,

0:27:39 > 0:27:42he wasn't Shuel Ali, who we were looking for.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Erm, but then, do you believe them on face value?

0:27:44 > 0:27:47Especially given that they look like the photograph.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49'One of the other considerations that we had was

0:27:49 > 0:27:52'if you're not happy with them, arrest them both on suspicion of...

0:27:52 > 0:27:54'Bring them down to the police station,

0:27:54 > 0:27:56'put them on the fingerprint machine.'

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Given that he was known to us before,

0:27:58 > 0:28:00he will have come up on his fingerprints,

0:28:00 > 0:28:02and that's 100% accurate,

0:28:02 > 0:28:03so we'd have known then.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05Come in here, my friend.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07We shall get to the bottom of it.

0:28:07 > 0:28:08- Jump in here, my friend. - And we'll do that.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11The officers get the brothers into one room to

0:28:11 > 0:28:14compare their faces to the photograph.

0:28:14 > 0:28:15That's more like it.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Finally, the wanted man reveals himself.

0:28:18 > 0:28:22He also then said that he has had a domestic at county court

0:28:22 > 0:28:25- earlier this year. - So how do we say your first name?

0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Shuel.- Shuel.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29Right, Shuel, start putting some clothes on, mate.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40The correct brother, Shuel Ali - the wanted man -

0:28:40 > 0:28:43is taken off to custody for formal charging.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45Well, I'd hope my son wouldn't be in the court.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48Hopefully the police won't be coming for him.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51Stop swearing, you're the one talking about being respectful

0:28:51 > 0:28:52so stop being disrespectful.

0:28:52 > 0:28:54That's personal...

0:28:54 > 0:28:57Come on. In you get, kid. Sit down.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59- Can you please loosen these? - We will do.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01We're about five minutes away from the nick,

0:29:01 > 0:29:03and then we'll loosen them, mate, OK?

0:29:03 > 0:29:04Just sit tight, it's a big rocky.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07You're under arrest for burglary, committed on the 26th,

0:29:07 > 0:29:10which we explained to you. You do not have to say anything

0:29:10 > 0:29:12but it may harm your defence if you do not mention

0:29:12 > 0:29:14something you later rely on in court

0:29:14 > 0:29:16and if you do it may be given in evidence.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18We're quite happy now he's the right brother,

0:29:18 > 0:29:21but on the face of it, they look quite alike, cos I think, generally,

0:29:21 > 0:29:24brothers do, in the family link, but we're quite happy now.

0:29:24 > 0:29:27He is the right chap. We'll get him in and CID will deal with him.

0:29:27 > 0:29:28All right?

0:29:29 > 0:29:31How are we you doing buddy, are you all right?

0:29:34 > 0:29:38'We don't always have the time just to focus on people that are wanted,'

0:29:38 > 0:29:41so that's where the Operation Keyman sort of fills that void

0:29:41 > 0:29:43'and gets bodies in cells

0:29:43 > 0:29:46'and gets people off the streets that we want to.'

0:29:46 > 0:29:48Shuel Ali appeared before the courts

0:29:48 > 0:29:51and was found guilty of the burglary charges.

0:29:51 > 0:29:54He was sentenced to 32 months in prison.

0:30:10 > 0:30:14Back in Greater Manchester, the Divisional Tasking Team

0:30:14 > 0:30:17are searching for a man wanted on recall to prison

0:30:17 > 0:30:20for breaching his parole conditions.

0:30:20 > 0:30:22If you two go past it, and go round the back,

0:30:22 > 0:30:25and get in position at the back ready to knock on the front door,

0:30:25 > 0:30:27when you're just dropping on,

0:30:27 > 0:30:29we'll go straight to the front of the address.

0:30:32 > 0:30:36Officers Cross and Rawcliffe are tracking down the suspect who

0:30:36 > 0:30:38was last seen in the Oldham area.

0:30:41 > 0:30:43'We're round now.'

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Yep, lovely.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49Morning! Hello, it's the police.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53- Hello, police!- That door's open.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55Hello, police!

0:30:55 > 0:30:58You don't know what you're going to turn up to sometimes.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00You go on, you knock on the door,

0:31:00 > 0:31:01and when you go in,

0:31:01 > 0:31:03very often things are as you as you expect them,

0:31:03 > 0:31:06but other times, you think, "My God, look at the state of this."

0:31:10 > 0:31:12- COUGHING - Hello! Hello, police.

0:31:12 > 0:31:15'You can't, you can't walk away from it.'

0:31:15 > 0:31:17You've just got to do what's in front of you,

0:31:17 > 0:31:19and you never know what's in front of you.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Is that a child? - There's a young kid here on his own.

0:31:24 > 0:31:25What?

0:31:25 > 0:31:27No brother here.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29SOMETHING THUDS

0:31:29 > 0:31:33Police. What's your name?

0:31:33 > 0:31:35The suspect isn't in.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38Instead, the police discover a six-year-old child

0:31:38 > 0:31:42and two teenagers, home alone in poor living conditions.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44And your name, darling?

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Eh?

0:31:47 > 0:31:49How old are you two?

0:31:49 > 0:31:5116, man.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Where's the adult in the house?

0:31:53 > 0:31:55- My mum.- Where is she?

0:31:55 > 0:31:57She should be back by now.

0:31:57 > 0:31:59How old's that little lad in there?

0:31:59 > 0:32:00Six.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02- Right, and you two are looking after him, are you?- Yeah.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Why's the house such a- BLEEP?

0:32:05 > 0:32:08I'm a bit concerned, really.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11- Are social services involved with this family?- Yeah.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14It didn't really twig to start with,

0:32:14 > 0:32:19until you sort of went into the kitchen area, and then upstairs.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22It was a mess, and it was, you know, unkept and horrible downstairs

0:32:22 > 0:32:24but it didn't really set in,

0:32:24 > 0:32:27until you went into that kitchen and then upstairs.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30Watch where you're standing, cos there's poo everywhere.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33The kids were living in squalor,

0:32:33 > 0:32:36the electrics were condemned,

0:32:36 > 0:32:40there was microwaves with electric wires into bowls

0:32:40 > 0:32:42in the area of water.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45There was no food in the address.

0:32:45 > 0:32:50There was dog faeces in the toilet - on the floor, I mean.

0:32:50 > 0:32:51It was just horrendous.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57Roger, could you just put this address in the box just to see

0:32:57 > 0:33:00if there's any child issues?

0:33:02 > 0:33:03'Yeah, bud.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06'Children subject to a protection plan.'

0:33:08 > 0:33:10- RADIO BEEPS - Roger, thank you.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15It's horrendous, isn't it?

0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Right.- Just make sure they don't put a call in upstairs.

0:33:17 > 0:33:19Please, she's got a telephone.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22Some officers stay at the property to keep the children safe

0:33:22 > 0:33:25until social services arrive.

0:33:25 > 0:33:30It's a distressing scene but it's not unique.

0:33:30 > 0:33:33The sad thing is there's children involved, and it is sad.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37You know, you go in and you... Children are helpless.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40They rely on you to make important decisions, whether it be

0:33:40 > 0:33:44what's for tea, what clothes am I wearing, have I got clean clothes?

0:33:44 > 0:33:47Where are we going today? Am I going to look OK at school?

0:33:47 > 0:33:51And very often the adults just neglect them,

0:33:51 > 0:33:53so we have to take positive action,

0:33:53 > 0:33:57not only as police officers but as mums, dads and as adults.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00You walk in and you think, "Right, I'm not putting up with this.

0:34:00 > 0:34:04"There's a victim here and that victim's a child."

0:34:04 > 0:34:07The suspect was later found by another team

0:34:07 > 0:34:09and was sent back to prison.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12There has since been regular contact between social services

0:34:12 > 0:34:14and the children.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26Earlier, the Serious Organised Crime Group raided the house

0:34:26 > 0:34:28of a known Manchester drug dealer.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30- Police! Police!- Stay where you are!

0:34:33 > 0:34:35His name, Andrew McFadyen -

0:34:35 > 0:34:39a 40-year-old who's already served jail time for drugs offences.

0:34:42 > 0:34:45The latest raid uncovered a substantial amount

0:34:45 > 0:34:47of illegal amphetamines.

0:34:48 > 0:34:51It's initially been valued at around about £50,000,

0:34:51 > 0:34:53on the basis that

0:34:53 > 0:34:56one kilo can go for £5,000,

0:34:56 > 0:34:58but it depends on purities

0:34:58 > 0:35:00and lots of different things like that.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05When McFadyen returned home,

0:35:05 > 0:35:08Sergeant Dave Meeney had to give chase on foot.

0:35:09 > 0:35:11His wanted man drove away,

0:35:11 > 0:35:14but he couldn't escape eventual arrest.

0:35:14 > 0:35:15A couple of days later,

0:35:15 > 0:35:20we were able to track him down to a flat, or to a building

0:35:20 > 0:35:22and do some enquiries at that building

0:35:22 > 0:35:25and we were able to locate him in one of the flats.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30The suspect was taken into police custody to be interviewed.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32I'm going to caution you, Andrew

0:35:32 > 0:35:34and the caution is that you do not have to say anything

0:35:34 > 0:35:36but it may harm your defence

0:35:36 > 0:35:38if you do not mention when questioned,

0:35:38 > 0:35:40something which you later rely on in court

0:35:40 > 0:35:42and anything that you do say may be given in evidence.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45He was arrested, he was charged in relation to the drugs,

0:35:45 > 0:35:49um, he answered "no comment" on interview.

0:35:49 > 0:35:53I'm just going to go through with you the items that were recovered.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56Inside the garage were ten packages.

0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Do you know anything about those? - No comment.- OK.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03There were ten of those trays

0:36:03 > 0:36:07that were sealed in individual bags, OK? Do you know anything about that?

0:36:07 > 0:36:08No comment.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10What was found in the address?

0:36:10 > 0:36:12- No comment.- OK.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14- Did you attend at the address? - No comment.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18- Did you drive away from the address? - No comment.- OK.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21McFadyen later appeared in court,

0:36:21 > 0:36:24charged with possession with intent to supply class B drugs

0:36:24 > 0:36:25worth £400,000.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30He pleaded guilty and was jailed for six years.

0:36:30 > 0:36:33It's a really good result, because we've recovered a lot of drugs

0:36:33 > 0:36:37from a guy who clearly, the fact he's gone to prison hasn't changed his offending pattern.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40He still has gone into prison, come out of prison

0:36:40 > 0:36:42and carried on doing exactly what he was doing,

0:36:42 > 0:36:45even though he's still technically serving a sentence

0:36:45 > 0:36:46for dealing drugs.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48Um, there was a lot of drugs recovered,

0:36:48 > 0:36:51he's pleaded guilty at the first instance, erm,

0:36:51 > 0:36:52which just shows that we were right

0:36:52 > 0:36:55and the fact that he is guilty of that offence.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57So, it was a really good result for the team.

0:37:11 > 0:37:15In Oldham, the divisional tasking team are on night duty.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21They're taking part in an operation to track down criminals

0:37:21 > 0:37:25who've been grooming underage children for illegal sex.

0:37:25 > 0:37:26- Trapped in a flat?- With some males.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29- Trapped in a flat with some males. - Right.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33That gives us authority to kick the door off, if ever I've heard it.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36Okey doke. Officers Cross and Rawcliffe are responding

0:37:36 > 0:37:39to information about a local girl in her teens.

0:37:41 > 0:37:44We've got a report that there's a vulnerable young girl

0:37:44 > 0:37:46who's stuck in this block of flats here,

0:37:46 > 0:37:50er, allegedly distressed and with four males.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52We don't know the nature of that distress

0:37:52 > 0:37:55or the nature of these males yet, so we're going to go and have a look.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58Er, just sort of see if we can, one, find her

0:37:58 > 0:37:59and make sure she's all right.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03In order to respond immediately,

0:38:03 > 0:38:07the 999 call is categorised under a special code name...

0:38:07 > 0:38:09messenger.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11Messenger...

0:38:11 > 0:38:13is the operational name

0:38:13 > 0:38:17for people, or youngsters,

0:38:17 > 0:38:18both male and female,

0:38:18 > 0:38:22who are subject to child sex exploitation.

0:38:42 > 0:38:43Yeah.

0:38:45 > 0:38:46Open the door.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50Do you not think on back of the lock?

0:38:53 > 0:38:55Who's locked you in?

0:38:55 > 0:38:56BLEEP

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Who else is in there with you?

0:38:58 > 0:38:59You seen the girl?

0:38:59 > 0:39:01- BLEEP - Is she all right?

0:39:01 > 0:39:03Is everybody all right in there?

0:39:03 > 0:39:07Well, you look it, you're walking around with a drink in your hand.

0:39:07 > 0:39:08I threaten him,

0:39:08 > 0:39:11that I hear or you go out of sight or this and that and the other

0:39:11 > 0:39:13then I will put the door in, full stop.

0:39:13 > 0:39:17But she complied and to a certain extent remained by the door

0:39:17 > 0:39:18where I could see her or hear her.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22There's a girl inside, saying she's trapped in there with three lads and another female,

0:39:22 > 0:39:25just wondering if you can come up and drill the lock.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28- You all right, darling? - An officer.- You all right?

0:39:35 > 0:39:37Yeah, yeah. How old are you now, darling?

0:39:40 > 0:39:42Right, I understand that.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44You know, we've got to make sure she's all right

0:39:44 > 0:39:47and we've got to make sure there's nobody else in there who hadn't

0:39:47 > 0:39:49conversed with us through the door.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51She's saying, I'm fine, I'm fine, but for all we know

0:39:51 > 0:39:53there's somebody with a knife to her throat,

0:39:53 > 0:39:55saying, "tell 'em you're OK" when really she's not,

0:39:55 > 0:39:58so we have to stay there, we have to get the job done properly.

0:39:58 > 0:39:59We've got two options.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02- One, obviously, our concern is for you, cos you're 17.- Yeah.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06But if you're not in any grave danger, you don't feel you're in grave danger

0:40:06 > 0:40:08we can wait for somebody to come and drill the locks.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Failing that, I'm going to smash the door down.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17As it turned out, through talking through the letterbox,

0:40:17 > 0:40:19she's just sort of fed up, because...

0:40:19 > 0:40:21you know, the keys have gone missing

0:40:21 > 0:40:24and she's probably drank all the drink that's in the house.

0:40:24 > 0:40:27So, therefore that's why she wants to get out,

0:40:27 > 0:40:29not because she was being held...

0:40:29 > 0:40:31and all the time she was there she was...

0:40:31 > 0:40:33'on the other side of the letterbox while I was talking to her'

0:40:33 > 0:40:36and the other people in the address were there.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38I think it were basically a party where they'd lost the key

0:40:38 > 0:40:41and they were drunk and they needed to get out

0:40:41 > 0:40:45and so, let's use the police as an excuse to get out

0:40:45 > 0:40:46and drill the lock.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Right, the joiner's here, just step back from the door now.

0:40:49 > 0:40:53Just step back from the door, the lad's going to drill the lock. Move back from the door now.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06INDISTINCT VOICE

0:41:06 > 0:41:07Shut up.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10- Keep away from the door. - Keep away from the door.- Yeah.

0:41:10 > 0:41:14Inside, the officers find two teenage girls,

0:41:14 > 0:41:16plus three adult males,

0:41:16 > 0:41:19all apparently under the influence of alcohol.

0:41:19 > 0:41:20Sit down!

0:41:20 > 0:41:22On what basis?

0:41:22 > 0:41:25On the basis I've told you to sit down, now sit down.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30The behaviour of the adults in the flat was disgraceful.

0:41:30 > 0:41:31They were acting like idiots.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Er, they were drunk,

0:41:33 > 0:41:35thought it was some big, erm

0:41:35 > 0:41:37fascination that the police were there

0:41:37 > 0:41:40and they had to play up and perform in front of us.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43- Stop drinking while we're here, mate, OK?- I'm not drinking.

0:41:43 > 0:41:47- Where are the keys?- I don't know. - Can't get out.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49Phoned the fire brigade at first.

0:41:49 > 0:41:50Well, they've got fires to put out.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53If they'd been on the streets, they would've been arrested.

0:41:53 > 0:41:54It's as simple as that.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56But because they were in their own flat,

0:41:56 > 0:41:59not causing any major problems to anyone else,

0:41:59 > 0:42:01erm, there was very little we could do.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03The operation finishes

0:42:03 > 0:42:06with no further action being taken against anyone in the flat.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08Crazy, innit?

0:42:10 > 0:42:13In the end, it was all about a missing key,

0:42:13 > 0:42:15not a sex crime.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17A relief for all concerned,

0:42:17 > 0:42:21but also a matter of frustration for the officers.

0:42:21 > 0:42:22You come down here

0:42:22 > 0:42:25from a call where she's trapped in a flat, she's distressed,

0:42:25 > 0:42:28she's with four males, we don't know anything, to...

0:42:28 > 0:42:30you know, within five or ten minutes of being there,

0:42:30 > 0:42:33it just becomes a big, you know, joke to them.

0:42:33 > 0:42:35I mean, she's in drink, she's had drink,

0:42:35 > 0:42:37er, it's just an absolute joke.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40It's our...a waste of our time to a certain extent,

0:42:40 > 0:42:43because she isn't, in this particular instance,

0:42:43 > 0:42:46as vulnerable as she made out on the telephone.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49Yet the next phone call we have from her, she might be

0:42:49 > 0:42:51desperately in need of our help.

0:42:52 > 0:42:56It could be treated less seriously than we've treated it tonight

0:42:56 > 0:43:00and she gets seriously sexually assaulted, or seriously beaten up.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03If you manifest that...numerous times,
