0:00:01 > 0:00:03Yeah, we're going straight on to Platt Street.

0:00:03 > 0:00:04Don't draw attention, Nobby.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19Down! Down! WOMAN SCREAMS

0:00:19 > 0:00:21In, in, in! Into the back! Into the back!

0:00:24 > 0:00:27Every day in the UK, the police are on the hunt

0:00:27 > 0:00:29for known and suspected criminals.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31Get back from the door!

0:00:31 > 0:00:35They're armed with warrants and big red keys.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38The Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire forces

0:00:38 > 0:00:41have granted exclusive access to their raids.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43SHOUTING

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Their officers are wearing special equipment

0:00:46 > 0:00:50to give you a cop's-eye view, and bring you closer to the action

0:00:50 > 0:00:52than ever before.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54What's your name?

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Britain's streets are a battleground.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Stay back!

0:00:58 > 0:01:02On one side are the men and women fighting to keep us safe.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05And on the other...are the wanted.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Greater Manchester,

0:01:14 > 0:01:17home to the third largest police force in England.

0:01:17 > 0:01:22Nearly 7,000 officers and 2.5 million people.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27It's the job of the Serious Organised Crime Group

0:01:27 > 0:01:30to track down the region's most wanted.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34We're just getting some intelligence regarding a lad called Lee Shaw,

0:01:34 > 0:01:38also known as Boggle Eye, who resides in the Leigh area,

0:01:38 > 0:01:41that his premises at No.40, Platt Street in Leigh

0:01:41 > 0:01:44is being used to store and prepare Class A drugs.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49The team are receiving a briefing about an imminent drugs raid.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53'The Serious Organised Crime Group, where I work, our job is to'

0:01:53 > 0:01:55investigate people involved in serious

0:01:55 > 0:01:57and organised crime. That could be anything,

0:01:57 > 0:02:00it could be from drug dealing to handling firearms,

0:02:00 > 0:02:01or it could be to human trafficking.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Hello, just ringing about that job.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Did you get the forensics in?

0:02:07 > 0:02:09'It's very exciting, very dynamic.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10'You could be sitting at your desk'

0:02:10 > 0:02:13thinking, "I finish in a quarter of an hour, I'll get to go home,"

0:02:13 > 0:02:18then suddenly something'll happen and everyone has to turn out. You could be there for five, ten hours,

0:02:18 > 0:02:20but you might at the end get a large amount of drugs

0:02:20 > 0:02:23or get a firearm back, and that's always a great feeling.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25We don't know who's going to be at the property.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Lee Shaw's got previous for drug supply, not much for violence,

0:02:28 > 0:02:31but we don't know who else might be at the address

0:02:31 > 0:02:34so we're going to get our kit together, mate, and head up straightaway now.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Operation Boma focuses on drug dealing

0:02:37 > 0:02:41on the streets of Manchester and its surrounding boroughs.

0:02:41 > 0:02:46Today's targets are Lee Shaw, a low-level dealer and user,

0:02:46 > 0:02:51and Philip Turner, a known armed robber and suspected drugs supplier.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57The officers suspect that Turner and Shaw

0:02:57 > 0:02:59are part of an organised drugs gang.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04We've just put Nobby in a shop nearby with eyes on the address,

0:03:04 > 0:03:09so if he sees any of this lot come into it then we'll be rolling out.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11On this day, we had some intelligence in relation to

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Shaw and Turner potentially handling some drugs.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18We didn't have anything too specific, but we had enough that we could get into the area

0:03:18 > 0:03:21and see if we could identify exactly when this drop would happen,

0:03:21 > 0:03:24which would give us an opportunity to arrest those involved.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30Suspicions about Class A drug dealing allow the police to obtain a warrant

0:03:30 > 0:03:32and get ready to strike.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37We had somebody who was going to watch the location covertly

0:03:37 > 0:03:40so then they could pass us information, exactly what was happening.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43The rest of the team, they were nearby, out of the way,

0:03:43 > 0:03:45so that when we had the information, that we believe, that

0:03:45 > 0:03:48potentially, the drugs were there, we could then move forward

0:03:48 > 0:03:51and arrest the individuals concerned and search for the drugs.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55The plans for the raid are now all in place.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Crime knows no boundaries.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Every week, 27 foreign criminals are extradited from the UK.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22These are Europe's most wanted,

0:04:22 > 0:04:24sought by police in their own countries

0:04:24 > 0:04:28for everything from murder and rape to a breach of bail.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36The European Arrest Warrant allows police in the UK to arrest them

0:04:36 > 0:04:39and put them on planes back home, where justice awaits.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45If somebody's committed ten burglaries,

0:04:45 > 0:04:48then moved to the UK to avoid prosecution

0:04:48 > 0:04:51or avoid serving their custodial sentence,

0:04:51 > 0:04:54it's down to us to track them down, locate them, arrest them,

0:04:54 > 0:04:56put them before the court so the legal process can start

0:04:56 > 0:04:59to extradite them back to their country

0:04:59 > 0:05:02to either serve that sentence or appear in court.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07PC Dave Lockwood and his team are tackling the most wanted

0:05:07 > 0:05:11European criminals who are now living in West Yorkshire.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14The chap we're looking for that's up here on the screen

0:05:14 > 0:05:15is Michal Kawczynski.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17He's a Polish male,

0:05:17 > 0:05:21and he's wanted on three separate European Arrest Warrants

0:05:21 > 0:05:25in respect of robbery, theft and drugs trafficking.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28He knows he's wanted. He's been avoiding the authorities

0:05:28 > 0:05:32and he's using a fake name and may have fake ID.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35The name he is using is Tomasz Linka.

0:05:35 > 0:05:41The warning markers from Poland from the National Crime Agency are,

0:05:41 > 0:05:44"He has a very large build and he is violent."

0:05:44 > 0:05:46That's obviously why there's five of us going

0:05:46 > 0:05:48and we're asking for Taser authority.

0:05:48 > 0:05:53Michal Kawczynski has been on the run for more than five years,

0:05:53 > 0:05:55wanted for 22 different offences.

0:05:59 > 0:06:04According to intelligence, he's living in the Bramley area of Leeds.

0:06:09 > 0:06:10Dave is on the trail.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15So there's five of us, which is all that's on our team tonight,

0:06:15 > 0:06:17so that allows us to contain the property,

0:06:17 > 0:06:21cos you don't want one or two of you going in the front and someone shooting out the back.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29The Polish criminal has been using a false name in the UK

0:06:29 > 0:06:34and the police have been unable to track him down...until now.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37DOG BARKS

0:06:40 > 0:06:41Contact to the front.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Hiya, it's the police! Hello. WOMAN: Hi.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48OK, do you speak good English? Yes. Are we OK to come in, please?

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Thank you.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Who's here at the moment?

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Hiya. What's your name, pal?

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Tomasz. Have you got any ID for us, please?

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Just take a seat for us, mate.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01I'm just going to put these handcuffs on you for a minute, pal.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04You're not under arrest. I'm just detaining you at this time, OK?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06WOMAN: What's happened, though?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08I know it's alarming. We'll explain to you in a second.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11I'm just going to do some checks, Tomasz, OK?

0:07:11 > 0:07:14I believe you're somebody else and this is a fake name.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17I believe your correct name is Michal Kawczynski,

0:07:17 > 0:07:2035th... 23.05.82.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24Right? Is that correct? Is that who you are?

0:07:24 > 0:07:27That's your real name? OK.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29You're under arrest for three European Arrest Warrants

0:07:29 > 0:07:32issued by Poland for your arrest.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35The offences that relates to is eight offences

0:07:35 > 0:07:39of possession with intent to supply controlled drugs,

0:07:39 > 0:07:42seven offences of burglary, two robberies, a theft, and assault.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46So you do not have to say anything, OK?

0:07:46 > 0:07:48But anything you do say may be given in evidence.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50This is your fake name.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Have you got any more ID with your correct ID?

0:07:53 > 0:07:55We will be searching your house for it, OK?

0:07:55 > 0:07:59Is there anything else in this property that shouldn't be here?

0:07:59 > 0:08:00MAN AND WOMAN SPEAK POLISH

0:08:00 > 0:08:04Drugs? Anything like that?

0:08:04 > 0:08:06OK. You can sort your missus out or let her know what she needs to know

0:08:06 > 0:08:09but you're going to be coming to the police station with us, OK?

0:08:09 > 0:08:11SHE SOBS

0:08:11 > 0:08:13HE SPEAKS POLISH

0:08:17 > 0:08:21Despite Kawczynski's denial that there are any drugs in the house,

0:08:21 > 0:08:24officers soon find them.

0:08:24 > 0:08:29About 20 small cannabis plants, which are ready to be grown

0:08:29 > 0:08:32and cultivated, obviously used later on.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Downstairs in the kitchen,

0:08:38 > 0:08:42they also find the crucial identification evidence they need.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46There we go. Excellent. "Michal Kawczynski."

0:08:46 > 0:08:47"Date of birth 23.05.82."

0:08:51 > 0:08:56Passports... Which are good. Happy days. That's the one. Yeah.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58That's him.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02Any element of doubt within the court system of who he is

0:09:02 > 0:09:06might void the warrant, might cancel the warrant

0:09:06 > 0:09:07until further information is found,

0:09:07 > 0:09:11so if I can negate that problem at the scene and document that

0:09:11 > 0:09:14and put that information to court, then the judge and the solicitors

0:09:14 > 0:09:17can make an informed decision, having that information.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19It's my job...

0:09:22 > 0:09:24With the circumstances of what I'm being told,

0:09:24 > 0:09:27it's the judge's decision whether you get bail or not -

0:09:27 > 0:09:30I honestly don't think you'll get bail, but that's not my decision.

0:09:30 > 0:09:31HE SPEAKS POLISH

0:09:31 > 0:09:34If you've got some paper, I'll write down the court he's going to,

0:09:34 > 0:09:36the telephone number and if he gets remanded,

0:09:36 > 0:09:39which prison he'll be in which you can visit him at, OK?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41THEY SPEAK POLISH OK.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47One thing... He's involved in all that criminality in Poland...

0:09:47 > 0:09:51Is he going to come to the UK and live a normal law-abiding life?

0:09:51 > 0:09:55If he is, great, but if he's not then we need to know about it

0:09:55 > 0:09:56and we need to look at that.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01Following this arrest, Kawczynski appeared before the court in London.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05He appealed his extradition but was unsuccessful.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07He was sent back to Poland.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21In Manchester, the Serious Organised Crime Group

0:10:21 > 0:10:24are about to attempt to arrest two suspected drug dealers.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Lee Shaw and Philip Turner have both been under surveillance,

0:10:31 > 0:10:35along with an address in the Leigh area.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37INTO RADIO: Start making your way.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42Yeah, that's received, Matt. We're making our way now.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48As they near the location, the team need to know if Turner,

0:10:48 > 0:10:50their main suspect,

0:10:50 > 0:10:52has entered the house to deliver the drugs to Shaw.

0:10:54 > 0:11:00RADIO: Female, small female child, male and subject are out...

0:11:00 > 0:11:02With Turner on the street, speed is essential.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05Go, Nobby.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08RADIO: Subject remains on the road.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Yeah, we're going straight on to Platt Street.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Don't draw attention, Nobby.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18And with Turner now approaching the address...

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Where is he from our position, Matt?

0:11:22 > 0:11:27..the team need to strike immediately or the operation could fail.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28Go.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35Police! Stay where you are! Get down!

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Quickly! In, in, in!

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Into the back, into the back!

0:11:39 > 0:11:42WOMAN SHOUTS HYSTERICALLY

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Get your hands out!

0:11:47 > 0:11:51Get the little girl, get the little girl!

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Philip, at this moment in time you're under arrest on suspicion

0:11:54 > 0:11:57of possession of controlled drugs with intent to supply, OK?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence

0:12:00 > 0:12:03if you don't mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?

0:12:07 > 0:12:10These are people that choose to be involved in crime.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12They choose to be involved in serious crime.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15They don't choose to go out and get an education or go and work,

0:12:15 > 0:12:18they choose to, for example, move drugs around.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22At the level, in relation to this incident, high-level drug dealing,

0:12:22 > 0:12:24they're not worried about who that drug goes to

0:12:24 > 0:12:25or where that drug might end up.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29It is about, "I can make tens of thousands of pounds on this."

0:12:29 > 0:12:32One wanted suspect detained.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35Now the hunt is on for his accomplice.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52Over in West Yorkshire, PCs Andy Million and Dave Lockwood

0:12:52 > 0:12:55are back on duty with another European Arrest Warrant

0:12:55 > 0:12:57for a wanted criminal.

0:12:57 > 0:13:02The address, Andy, just so you know, it's back-to-back,

0:13:02 > 0:13:04just one door in.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Today's target - Piotr Betlejweski,

0:13:08 > 0:13:10wanted for burglary in Poland.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13The offence, involving theft

0:13:13 > 0:13:15from commercial premises,

0:13:15 > 0:13:18took place back in 2009.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's a relatively simple one on paper.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23We only have one address for him.

0:13:23 > 0:13:28He contacted the police four weeks ago to report his phone stolen,

0:13:28 > 0:13:32so to me that says that he doesn't know he's wanted.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34It's going to be probably quite a shock and quite sensitive,

0:13:34 > 0:13:36should we locate him so...

0:13:36 > 0:13:37Are we on the street now, Andy?

0:13:37 > 0:13:40So we're here now, so we'll just see what we find.

0:13:47 > 0:13:52Betlejweski contacted the police after his mobile phone was stolen.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55How do, fella? You all right to come and open the door please?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Yeah, one second. But once his name appeared on the system,

0:13:58 > 0:14:01it came up as, "Wanted in his homeland."

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Good afternoon. You all right, mate?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06PC Andy Miller from West Yorkshire Police. Are you Piotr? Yes.

0:14:06 > 0:14:11Right, I need to speak to you, Piotr, about an enquiry we've got.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Are we OK to come in for a couple of minutes and speak to you? Yeah, that's fine. OK.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16He thinks he's about to speak to officers

0:14:16 > 0:14:19as a victim of crime in the UK,

0:14:19 > 0:14:23not as a perpetrator of crime in Poland.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26The reason why we're here, Piotr...

0:14:26 > 0:14:30In a nutshell, there's a warrant outstanding for you from Poland.

0:14:30 > 0:14:32Is your English good enough to speak to me?

0:14:32 > 0:14:37You're OK with that. Are you aware of that? Yeah.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39You are aware of the warrant?

0:14:39 > 0:14:42What we're going to have to do is get your ID, your passport, etc,

0:14:42 > 0:14:46and take it with us cos I'm going to have to seize that, OK?

0:14:46 > 0:14:49Do you want me to give you a couple of minutes just to get a breath?

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Yeah. Can I just reassure you, before you start worrying, OK?

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Our job now is to take you to the police station. You're going

0:14:55 > 0:14:57to be coming with us cos my colleague's just arrested you, OK?

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Our job is to put you before the court tomorrow.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03It does not mean you are going back to Poland immediately,

0:15:03 > 0:15:07so tomorrow you might be coming back home and living here on bail.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Do you know what bail is? Tag? Tag on your ankle?

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Yeah. So you may be here, living a normal life,

0:15:12 > 0:15:14working for maybe a month, six weeks...

0:15:16 > 0:15:19You'll have to go, keep going back to court, reappearing.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Yeah. Well, you can appeal that,

0:15:23 > 0:15:26but the Polish authorities want you to go back to Poland

0:15:26 > 0:15:30to sort this problem out, which you're aware of, aren't you?

0:15:30 > 0:15:32I need to be able to trust you if you're going to get bail,

0:15:32 > 0:15:34that you're not going to run.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Well, I can guarantee you won't be in work tonight or tomorrow.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51He didn't think he was wanted, but he said to us

0:15:51 > 0:15:53he knew about the warrant, he knew about the situation,

0:15:53 > 0:15:56so maybe he thought when he were living here

0:15:56 > 0:15:58we couldn't act upon it. And as we expected, he's a little upset.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02Did you not think about handing yourself in or going to the police,

0:16:02 > 0:16:04or did you just think...?

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Unfortunately, it's...

0:16:08 > 0:16:10At the end of the day, like my colleague says,

0:16:10 > 0:16:13you may be back here tomorrow, yeah?

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Just get a cigarette inside you.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17We try and deal with them nice and fair,

0:16:17 > 0:16:20and hopefully he don't mistake kindness with weakness,

0:16:20 > 0:16:22and he understands we're doing a job.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24He says he's going to cooperate with us.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27We've had that before, though, where some people are in shock,

0:16:27 > 0:16:29and then when they've had time to think about it later...

0:16:29 > 0:16:31So we'll still be thorough with him,

0:16:31 > 0:16:35but we'll be sensitive and kind with him.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38I know it seems like it's the end of your world right now...

0:16:38 > 0:16:40but our job is to put you before the court,

0:16:40 > 0:16:42so I don't want you to start panicking or do anything silly.

0:16:45 > 0:16:48I deal with many of these and that's what many people ask -

0:16:48 > 0:16:51they don't want to go back to Polish prisons, but...it just don't happen.

0:16:51 > 0:16:52No.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58There's no escape for Betlejweski.

0:16:59 > 0:17:04The officers take him into custody, where he'll be processed.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Thank you. Ta.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Back in Greater Manchester,

0:17:22 > 0:17:24the Serious Organised Crime Group

0:17:24 > 0:17:27have detained their main suspect, Philip Turner,

0:17:27 > 0:17:29wanted for drug dealing.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence

0:17:33 > 0:17:36if you don't mention when questioned something you later rely on in court.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?

0:17:39 > 0:17:42But it soon becomes apparent that they have a problem.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46They've taken Turner down, but at a different address to the one

0:17:46 > 0:17:48where he was due to deliver the drugs.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52Another address. 40.

0:17:52 > 0:17:5340!

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Yeah, we're at 48.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Police! Open the door!

0:17:59 > 0:18:01HE KICKS DOOR

0:18:01 > 0:18:02Kick it, Mark, kick it.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09It seems Turner managed to leave the target house

0:18:09 > 0:18:11before the team could strike.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14DOG BARKS

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Any others? Eh? Any others?

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Once they enter the correct house, they find their second suspect,

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Lee Shaw, at home.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29But the delay is costly.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32There's no sign of the Class A drugs exchange

0:18:32 > 0:18:34that they believe has taken place.

0:18:36 > 0:18:37And without that evidence,

0:18:37 > 0:18:40the whole of the team's operation could unravel.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44It's Lee, isn't it? Is it Lee? Yep.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47Anything in this house that shouldn't be in here, Lee?

0:18:47 > 0:18:49How many, mate?

0:18:49 > 0:18:51One plant?

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Right, let's have a look at it.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58Up in the bedroom, officers find the said cannabis plant.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00It's enough for them to bring a charge

0:19:00 > 0:19:04but not exactly the result they were hoping for.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Philip? You're also under arrest on suspicion

0:19:07 > 0:19:09of the cultivation of cannabis.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12OK, I remind you that you're under caution. All right, pal?

0:19:14 > 0:19:18Rory? Yeah? Do us the honours, mate. Cultivation of cannabis for him, please.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22Listen to me now, you're under arrest on suspicion of cultivating cannabis.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25So I'll note that down, you said the plant is yours upstairs, yeah?

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Yeah.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29'It's always a disappointment, especially when we've put in'

0:19:29 > 0:19:32a lot of work and think, "We've got everything now.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34"All we need is that golden nugget, just to make sure

0:19:34 > 0:19:36"we can prosecute all these individuals."

0:19:36 > 0:19:38So, it's really disappointing sometimes

0:19:38 > 0:19:41when you go into the address and it's not all quite there.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45The covert officer leading the operation now has to deliver

0:19:45 > 0:19:47the bad news to his superiors.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Right, that was a debacle.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Yeah, I think we missed it, mate.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54I don't know if they were round the back in time.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Well, we can't confirm whether we prevented anybody from coming

0:19:57 > 0:20:00out the back cos the team didn't have time to get round the back.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02So we're just going to detain Turner here

0:20:02 > 0:20:06till we can do the searches, and then we'll take it from there.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09But there's no obvious signs of any gear at the minute.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11When you have to make those kind of calls, it can be difficult

0:20:11 > 0:20:15because you can sense the disappointment in the boss

0:20:15 > 0:20:18or the DI that you're speaking to, the team are disappointed,

0:20:18 > 0:20:20so it's not pleasant. Unfortunately, it does happen.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23I'm quite realistic that sometimes these things do happen,

0:20:23 > 0:20:26but it's just a shame for the team if we've put

0:20:26 > 0:20:28a lot of work into something and it doesn't come out right at the end.

0:20:32 > 0:20:37Despite the disappointment of the initial search, the team persist.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40We can't search the house while those dogs are here, can we?

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Yeah, yeah, I understand that. All right.

0:20:43 > 0:20:47In this situation, my job was to go round to the back of the address

0:20:47 > 0:20:49just to stop people escaping out the rear of the address.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52We've been to this address, there's a cannabis plant in the back

0:20:52 > 0:20:55so we've just got him for that at the minute.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Was he? Right. I've not, mate.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06'As the address was detained, we went into the address.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08'I said, "What were you doing outside?" and he made a comment'

0:21:08 > 0:21:12about sorting something for the dogs or sorting something for the bins.'

0:21:12 > 0:21:14As the search went on and we hadn't found anything,

0:21:14 > 0:21:17at that point the relevance of that started to become apparent to me

0:21:17 > 0:21:19and I thought, "Well, he's heard something on the street

0:21:19 > 0:21:21"and then suddenly he's gone round to the back."

0:21:21 > 0:21:24So, I went into the garden, and normally searching the bins

0:21:24 > 0:21:26would be part of where we would search.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Do you want to film this, Phil?

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Just let Phil get this on film here, right?

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Finally, the result they've been after.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50The officers discover three bars of pressed cocaine

0:21:50 > 0:21:53hurriedly dumped in a wheelie bin.

0:21:53 > 0:21:54Estimate, Dave?

0:21:54 > 0:21:57Three lumps. Half kilo.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01I'm not going to interfere with the packaging too much

0:22:01 > 0:22:03cos that'll be subjected to forensic examination

0:22:03 > 0:22:05when we get back to the station.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08A lot of the work we do, we have to be in the right place

0:22:08 > 0:22:10at the right time, and this is one of those examples.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13If I hadn't been standing at the back of the garden

0:22:13 > 0:22:16and we still had found those drugs, he could have said someone else put them in the garden,

0:22:16 > 0:22:19anyone could climb over the fence and put that in the garden.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22But in this situation, fortunately, I was in the right place,

0:22:22 > 0:22:25so if at court later on he tried to say, "I've never been near that bin.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27"I didn't put anything in the bin that day,"

0:22:27 > 0:22:30he wouldn't be able to say that cos my evidence was there.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34It's a great feeling because it means that all this work

0:22:34 > 0:22:36has been worthwhile because then we've got the evidence there

0:22:36 > 0:22:39that we can implicate, not just the person in the address,

0:22:39 > 0:22:42but it's about those who are involved in arranging the movement

0:22:42 > 0:22:44of these drugs and the sale of these drugs. So, it's great.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Personally, it's great to find, but also, you know, for the team,

0:22:47 > 0:22:49it's something that's really good for the team.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Who's already arrested these gentlemen in here?

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Possession of Class A with intent to supply.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Steve, we've found some drugs at the back of the address...

0:22:57 > 0:23:02Listen to me now. You're also arrested on suspicion of possession with the intent to supply.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05Philip you're under arrest - further arrest -

0:23:05 > 0:23:08conspiracy to supply Class A, OK?

0:23:08 > 0:23:11I remind you that you're under caution. All right?

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Officers take Philip Turner off to the station,

0:23:19 > 0:23:22while their colleagues complete the search.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31Main table in the room here, we've got a number of pairs

0:23:31 > 0:23:33of latex gloves. There's another small bedside table here

0:23:33 > 0:23:37with the remnants of white powder on it and a razor blade.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Just at the side of that, on the floor there,

0:23:40 > 0:23:42there's two individual bags of white powder

0:23:42 > 0:23:44and, like, a rock substance.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47So I believe that they're using this bedroom basically for cutting up

0:23:47 > 0:23:51and preparing controlled drugs for resale in smaller amounts.

0:23:51 > 0:23:55MUSIC RINGTONE PLAYS

0:23:55 > 0:23:56Why's that phone ringing?

0:23:56 > 0:24:00That's the phone that was on this table when we came into the room.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03It might be somebody trying to get their hands on controlled drugs.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04We'll get it downloaded and examined

0:24:04 > 0:24:07and we'll get evidence off it at a later time.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10'When we searched the address, there was a mobile phone

0:24:10 > 0:24:13'ringing continuously. It happens where you'll go into an address,'

0:24:13 > 0:24:17word gets around, people find out there's a warrant at so-and-so's address

0:24:17 > 0:24:19and suddenly they'll start worrying, thinking,

0:24:19 > 0:24:22"I've invested all that money in that batch of drugs."

0:24:22 > 0:24:25So, it is something that does happen.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Ah, there's the scales. Hooray!

0:24:28 > 0:24:30'When we find scales, that does implicate and it is quite

0:24:30 > 0:24:33'significant to us that they are involved in wider drug dealing.'

0:24:33 > 0:24:37And it's a way of measuring exactly smaller amounts of drugs,

0:24:37 > 0:24:40and that shows us the person in that address is involved in,

0:24:40 > 0:24:41as well as holding on to the drugs,

0:24:41 > 0:24:44the wider distribution of handing those drugs out,

0:24:44 > 0:24:46or bashing the drugs up to make it into smaller amounts.

0:24:49 > 0:24:55During the search, they also discover a note handwritten by Lee Shaw.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58There's a document that's been found in the drawer here.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01It's titled, "Costs/benefits of my drug use."

0:25:01 > 0:25:05It says here, "Continuing my drug use." The costs are,

0:25:05 > 0:25:08"Everything. Every time I get involved with cocaine,

0:25:08 > 0:25:11"I lose my home, my friends, family and all my money."

0:25:11 > 0:25:15There's not many benefits on there, so we'll see.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18We'll seize that. He can tell us about that in the interview.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Lee Shaw is also off to the custody suite.

0:25:26 > 0:25:28The phones found will now need to be analysed

0:25:28 > 0:25:32to see if there are further names linked to this criminal gang.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45In Beeston, West Yorkshire,

0:25:45 > 0:25:48the reality of the European Arrest Warrant

0:25:48 > 0:25:53is slowly dawning on Polish national Piotr Betlejweski.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56PC Dave Lockwood goes over the charges again.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59This is the warrant for your arrest, which is your European warrant,

0:25:59 > 0:26:01which my colleague's given you.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04It's in English and Polish, so if you don't read English too well...

0:26:04 > 0:26:07You can read both, can you?

0:26:07 > 0:26:09So, acting with co-accused, other people,

0:26:09 > 0:26:12you broke into a butcher's shop and stole...

0:26:12 > 0:26:15You broke a window pane in the entrance door,

0:26:15 > 0:26:21got inside where you've taken meat products worth 173.99.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25Right.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43Suspended, yeah. So I've got that.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Many people have said, you know,

0:26:46 > 0:26:48they knew it would come in and just for one reason or another

0:26:48 > 0:26:52it's not been sorted out or I think hope. People hope it just goes away.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11Does your mum know about this problem?

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Yeah, so she's going to be quite upset when you ring her.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Let's ring her from custody and take it from there, shall we?

0:27:35 > 0:27:37When I'm sat in the back of the van and we're talking,

0:27:37 > 0:27:40we're not mates, you know, I'm a police officer, I'm doing a job,

0:27:40 > 0:27:42but I almost had an arm round him saying,

0:27:42 > 0:27:46"Look, mate, it's going to be all right. We'll get through this."

0:27:46 > 0:27:48From his version, he's here, he's working,

0:27:48 > 0:27:51he's supporting his mum, he's come here to start a new life,

0:27:51 > 0:27:55and something he did a while ago that he regrets doing

0:27:55 > 0:27:57has come back to get him years later.

0:27:57 > 0:28:02So, yeah, what can you do? What can you do?

0:28:06 > 0:28:08You ready? Yeah. Come on, then.

0:28:10 > 0:28:11All right.

0:28:13 > 0:28:17It's time for Piotr to face the formalities in custody

0:28:17 > 0:28:20for the crime he committed five years ago -

0:28:20 > 0:28:22the theft of meat from a butcher's.

0:28:22 > 0:28:27Piotr's been arrested from his home address this evening

0:28:27 > 0:28:30cos there is in existence a European Arrest Warrant for him

0:28:30 > 0:28:32for an offence of theft from shop

0:28:32 > 0:28:36which occurred on the 17 December, 2009,

0:28:36 > 0:28:38which occurred in Poland.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41Is your English OK? Yes. Can you read and write English?

0:28:45 > 0:28:48You can certainly understand what I'm saying? Yes. OK.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50If there's anything else that you need explaining

0:28:50 > 0:28:52whilst you're here then let us know, won't you?

0:28:52 > 0:28:54Please can you sign on the pad?

0:28:54 > 0:28:57You're just signing to say that I've given you your rights.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01We'll contact... In fact, does your mum speak English?

0:29:01 > 0:29:04OK, we'll let her know.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09Yeah, I'll... It's usually me, but...

0:29:10 > 0:29:12I'll sort that out.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18So, that's just to put in your log entry, the extradition one.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Are you OK? Are you all right, mate?

0:29:20 > 0:29:23Was it something in the text message? Yeah.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26Once you get into that sterile area in custody

0:29:26 > 0:29:28and you've got the custody staff sat behind

0:29:28 > 0:29:30and they're asking all the formal questions,

0:29:30 > 0:29:34and it's suddenly really structured and the alarm bells start going,

0:29:34 > 0:29:38"I'm in custody here. It's happening, I might be going back,"

0:29:38 > 0:29:41So, yeah, I think we were quite respectful

0:29:41 > 0:29:45and when we saw, we just gave him a moment to compose himself

0:29:45 > 0:29:47and give him some water, make sure he were all right.

0:30:03 > 0:30:07In Greater Manchester, Operation Boma continues to unfold.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10Police! Stay where you are! Get down, down!

0:30:10 > 0:30:13In, in, in, in! Into the back, into the back!

0:30:13 > 0:30:15WOMAN SCREAMS

0:30:15 > 0:30:17Police! Open the door!

0:30:18 > 0:30:20Kick it in, Mark.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23Earlier, the Serious Organised Crime Group arrested

0:30:23 > 0:30:27two suspected drug dealers in a pre-planned raid.

0:30:27 > 0:30:28Any others?

0:30:34 > 0:30:37Do you prefer Phil or Philip?

0:30:37 > 0:30:41In the custody suite, the covert detective leading the operation

0:30:41 > 0:30:44is about to interview one of the suspects, Philip Turner.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49But first, he must share the evidence for the arrest

0:30:49 > 0:30:54with Turner's solicitor in a process known as disclosure.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58Your client was arrested on Friday the 25th of July, 2014 on suspicion

0:30:58 > 0:31:02of conspiracy to supply controlled drugs and cultivation of cannabis.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05During a search of the address, a number of items were seized

0:31:05 > 0:31:08including a quantity of Class A drugs, which has been confirmed

0:31:08 > 0:31:11as cocaine, plus evidence of the bagging

0:31:11 > 0:31:13and weighing of drugs for sale.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16When he was arrested initially, was he arrested on the way in or the way out?

0:31:16 > 0:31:19He was stood talking at the doorway.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21What evidence do you have connecting my client to that address?

0:31:21 > 0:31:25As it says on the disclosure, your client was seen attending at that address.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27My client having attended and been in that address

0:31:27 > 0:31:30for a matter of minutes is the evidence you have to put to him

0:31:30 > 0:31:33about the supply of drugs from that address, or is there more evidence than that?

0:31:33 > 0:31:37I'm not willing to disclose any more in relation to that at this time. OK.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39The disclosure process complete,

0:31:39 > 0:31:41the officers can now question the suspect.

0:31:41 > 0:31:45What it appears in this, Philip, is that you're the head of this.

0:31:45 > 0:31:46Would I be right in saying that?

0:31:48 > 0:31:52Are you involved in a conspiracy to supply drugs with them two lads?

0:31:52 > 0:31:55Is that what you were doing on Platt Street yesterday?

0:32:00 > 0:32:03You pull up in front... PHILIP YAWNS LOUDLY

0:32:03 > 0:32:05We've asked you...

0:32:05 > 0:32:07Do you want to have a minute before I carry on? No.

0:32:09 > 0:32:13Obviously that drug, that white powder's been field-tested.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15HE BREAKS WIND Excuse you.

0:32:15 > 0:32:20This powder's been tested and it's cocaine, a Class A drug.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23You've been arrested for all these serious offences,

0:32:23 > 0:32:26but yet you still won't answer any questions.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31Yeah, Philip Turner just sat there during interview, basically.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34Gave his name at the beginning and then didn't say a word

0:32:34 > 0:32:36throughout the interview then.

0:32:36 > 0:32:42He just sat there appearing in total disinterest in what was going on.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45A type of arrogance he had whilst he was in the interview.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48Right, just listen to what my colleague says to you.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51You're charged with the following offences. You don't have to say anything

0:32:51 > 0:32:54but it may harm your defence if you do not mention something you later rely on in court.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57Anything that you do say may be given in evidence.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00Charged that, on the 25th of July, 2014 at Leigh in the county of

0:33:00 > 0:33:04Greater Manchester, you had in your possession a quantity of cocaine,

0:33:04 > 0:33:07a controlled drug of Class A with an intent to supply it to another.

0:33:07 > 0:33:10Do you want to make any reply to that charge?

0:33:10 > 0:33:13Whilst Turner remains in custody,

0:33:13 > 0:33:16other members of the Operation Boma team

0:33:16 > 0:33:17are travelling to the Leigh area.

0:33:27 > 0:33:32Philip Turner has been spotted making regular visits to this scrapyard.

0:33:32 > 0:33:35As a result, officers have a warrant to search

0:33:35 > 0:33:37for more evidence of drug dealing.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40Do you want these two back here? Yeah.

0:33:40 > 0:33:45Leading the team on the ground is Detective Sergeant Richard Castley.

0:33:51 > 0:33:55With no-one at the yard, the team have to force entry.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57It's toughened glass, isn't it?

0:33:59 > 0:34:02Right away, they find what they're looking for.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04A couple of cannabis plants, Nobby.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07Yeah, it just looks like two cannabis plants in here,

0:34:07 > 0:34:10just at the side. A little light above them.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13This looks like a mixer, a blender.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15It's got no top on it, or no attachment on it,

0:34:15 > 0:34:18but when you look inside, this is full of white powder

0:34:18 > 0:34:24around the outside, which is quite unusual for a blender-type thing.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Just found a list here with names.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30That looks like a debtors list, to us, with the amount that's owed

0:34:30 > 0:34:33at the bottom, the people who owe money, the people he's sold to,

0:34:33 > 0:34:35so that will be getting seized as a potential debtors list.

0:34:38 > 0:34:39Yes!

0:34:41 > 0:34:43Inside this shipping container,

0:34:43 > 0:34:48there's a potentially more significant find.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50So that goes on the side there...

0:34:50 > 0:34:52Then you press it.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54It's some sort of mechanical press.

0:34:54 > 0:34:58Potentially could be used to mould the cocaine and press it together.

0:34:58 > 0:35:02They'd use that press to get a load of rubbish cocaine together,

0:35:02 > 0:35:06put it into a mould and then they'd press it at high pressure

0:35:06 > 0:35:08and it compresses it and makes it look more sell-able, if you like.

0:35:10 > 0:35:15As the team seize the evidence, the tenant of the site suddenly appears.

0:35:15 > 0:35:19What's the camera for? They're with us at the moment, mate, from the BBC.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21We're from Greater Manchester Police.

0:35:21 > 0:35:23Shout Nobby for us!

0:35:23 > 0:35:27You're under arrest at this moment in time on suspicion

0:35:27 > 0:35:29of cultivating cannabis. Two plants!

0:35:29 > 0:35:32OK. Cultivating cannabis, growing cannabis plants in a nutshell,

0:35:32 > 0:35:37and also being concerned in the supply of Class A and Class B drugs.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40Class A and Class B? You don't have to say anything but it may harm your defence

0:35:40 > 0:35:43if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46Anything you say may be given in evidence. Do you understand? Yeah. OK, mate.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49Let's take you back down here, sit you down somewhere.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51'We searched the yard. We found a couple of cannabis plants'

0:35:51 > 0:35:55and then there was a hydraulic press, a red press,

0:35:55 > 0:35:59usually used in mechanics, but in this type of investigation

0:35:59 > 0:36:04would often be used to compress cocaine, large quantities of cocaine

0:36:04 > 0:36:07to a smaller, more compact portion.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11In cases like this, you build up more and more evidence

0:36:11 > 0:36:13to show their involvement in the investigation

0:36:13 > 0:36:16and the crimes that you're investigating.

0:36:16 > 0:36:20The man at the yard is eliminated from the police enquiries.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23However, the scope of Operation Boma is widening

0:36:23 > 0:36:26and the number of gang members appears to be growing.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42Can you just sit down a minute? Tap there if you want some water.

0:36:42 > 0:36:43All right.

0:36:43 > 0:36:47In Yorkshire, police have arrested Piotr Betlejweski

0:36:47 > 0:36:51for the theft of meat from a butcher's in Poland.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54It's just two swabs on the inside of your cheek.

0:36:54 > 0:36:58Using his powers under the European Arrest Warrant, PC Dave Lockwood

0:36:58 > 0:37:01has taken the 22-year-old into custody.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04This gentleman has never been arrested in this country...

0:37:04 > 0:37:07So, we always take fingerprint and photographs,

0:37:07 > 0:37:10but because he's never been arrested we also do DNA,

0:37:10 > 0:37:14and what happens is, if there's any outstanding crimes within the UK

0:37:14 > 0:37:17where we have a DNA sample, his will be matched against it,

0:37:17 > 0:37:21and same with fingerprints. Any outstanding jobs in this country,

0:37:21 > 0:37:24his fingerprints are going to be fed into this machine and go through it

0:37:24 > 0:37:27and if we have any fingerprints from anything, it'll be matched up.

0:37:27 > 0:37:29So that's the reason we do it.

0:37:30 > 0:37:35Your fingerprints just stick on it sometimes and smudge on t'glass.

0:37:35 > 0:37:36Oh, that's a spot on, that one.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54Probation?

0:37:59 > 0:38:01Yeah. That's why they've issued the warrant.

0:38:16 > 0:38:17That's what the Polish want.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20What I'd say is good for you, is you've not been in trouble

0:38:20 > 0:38:24since you've been in the UK. You've not been a bad boy here,

0:38:24 > 0:38:27committing crime, you've not been violent upon arrest.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29That's good for you.

0:38:29 > 0:38:33The severity of the offence... Yeah, it's theft, burglary,

0:38:33 > 0:38:35it's not, you know, really, really, really bad.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41No, that's a good way of thinking of it,

0:38:41 > 0:38:42just deal with one stage at a time.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45Tomorrow, your worry is whether you get bail or not.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Deal with that now. Don't deal with Poland.

0:38:47 > 0:38:51Once you've got tomorrow over and done with, go on to t'next phase. I know it's not easy to do,

0:38:51 > 0:38:54but that's the best way I can say it for you.

0:38:54 > 0:38:58I've been doing this nearly six years and I've dealt with...

0:38:58 > 0:39:01hundreds, and I don't remember all of them

0:39:01 > 0:39:03but I'll remember Piotr, so...

0:39:03 > 0:39:05He's one I'll remember for a good while.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08I know you're not happy, but are you OK with how we've dealt with you?

0:39:08 > 0:39:10Yeah. Yeah?

0:39:10 > 0:39:12Can't do it any other way, can we?

0:39:13 > 0:39:15OK? OK, thank you.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22I don't know if he felt alone and he just needed somebody there...

0:39:22 > 0:39:26I'm a police officer, I'm there to arrest him, but a police officer,

0:39:26 > 0:39:29you can't put our job description on one sheet of paper, can you?

0:39:29 > 0:39:32We do many other things, so...there we go.

0:39:37 > 0:39:42Six months later, Piotr Betlejweski was sent back home to Poland.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45He's now serving the remainder of his sentence.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51He hopes to return to the UK once his punishment is over,

0:39:51 > 0:39:53if the EU allows him to.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11In Greater Manchester, the Serious Organised Crime Group

0:40:11 > 0:40:16have identified more suspects as part of Operation Boma.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19This is Gemma Bond. She was locked up with a kilo of cocaine

0:40:19 > 0:40:22on the 5th of the 9th, but when we've seized her phone,

0:40:22 > 0:40:24it's quite obvious that she's been dealing.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29Calls and text messages have revealed that Gemma Bond

0:40:29 > 0:40:32has not only been dealing -

0:40:32 > 0:40:35she is also connected to the Philip Turner drugs gang.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38She's about to receive an unannounced visit.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50You might have to give it a louder one, Nobby.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55Police! Come and open the door before we smash the door in!

0:40:58 > 0:41:01Morning, Gemma, you all right? Is he all right? Yeah.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03We need to come in.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07As you know, you were arrested on the 5th, weren't you? Yeah.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09And you're on bail for it?

0:41:09 > 0:41:12We're going to have to further arrest you this morning. What for?

0:41:12 > 0:41:14On suspicion of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.

0:41:14 > 0:41:18Are you joking? No. From the 6th of May...

0:41:18 > 0:41:226th of May? ..up to the 5th of September. Right.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25Cos of further evidence from the telephones and everything.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31HE WHISTLES A TUNE

0:41:31 > 0:41:34'When we looked at Gemma Bond initially she wasn't really'

0:41:34 > 0:41:37on our radar, but when we get the phone,

0:41:37 > 0:41:41which is seized from her, there's a wealth of evidence in there

0:41:41 > 0:41:43which is obviously dealing drugs.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46When Philip Turner gets arrested, she's sending text messages

0:41:46 > 0:41:49to people saying, "Well, my main dealer, he's in custody now,

0:41:49 > 0:41:52"so I can't deal you. Find someone else."

0:41:52 > 0:41:55Some people are phone savvy, some are not.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57And they don't only incriminate themselves,

0:41:57 > 0:42:00they incriminate other people who may be involved in that crime.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05Hiding behind me.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08Another member of the gang is taken into police custody.

0:42:16 > 0:42:20As Operation Boma unfolded, more gang members were accounted for

0:42:20 > 0:42:22with connections to Philip Turner,

0:42:22 > 0:42:25and the suspects appeared in front of the courts.

0:42:31 > 0:42:34It took eight months of surveillance, warrants

0:42:34 > 0:42:38and the gathering of evidence for the Serious Organised Crime Group

0:42:38 > 0:42:40to get a successful prosecution.

0:42:45 > 0:42:49All five suspects went down for conspiracy to supply Class A drugs,

0:42:49 > 0:42:53with sentences ranging from four to 11 years.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58We do a lot of work which is monotonous,

0:42:58 > 0:43:01probably quite boring and laborious, but the success in the end

0:43:01 > 0:43:05is well worth all the work we put in, putting people in prison,

0:43:05 > 0:43:09making the community safer, and making a difference out there.

0:43:34 > 0:43:37To be fair, my navigation was spot on,

0:43:37 > 0:43:39so if we didn't do that great, then honestly,
