0:00:01 > 0:00:05Rural Britain has some of the most challenging environments in the world.

0:00:05 > 0:00:09In Scotland, the mountains, lochs and coastline encourage tourists

0:00:09 > 0:00:11and locals to get out into the wilds.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14But with that comes danger.

0:00:18 > 0:00:22Are there any injuries with those in your party, over.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25The emergency services north of the border have to deal with

0:00:25 > 0:00:27extreme challenges every day.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32We've just got a vehicle that way that we just want to look at.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35From severe weather and treacherous terrain...

0:00:35 > 0:00:37You feel it crack, yeah?

0:00:38 > 0:00:41..to covering huge distances on country roads

0:00:41 > 0:00:42with time against them.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44OK?

0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Is she usually a lot more responsive?- Definitely.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48They work around the clock,

0:00:48 > 0:00:51battling against some of the most difficult situations.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56We'll be right at the heart of the action.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Side by side with Air Rescue saving lives.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03On the road with paramedics caring for the injured

0:01:03 > 0:01:05and following the police fighting crime,

0:01:05 > 0:01:08as the emergency services work together

0:01:08 > 0:01:13to pick up, patch up and protect the public in rural communities.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16This is Countryside 999

0:01:34 > 0:01:35Coming up...

0:01:35 > 0:01:40traffic police in Dumfries are on a stakeout for drug dealers.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43That's our boy that we've been waiting on.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Rural paramedics help a coal worker in agony.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51What would you give your pain as a score out of ten.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52It's about nine.

0:01:53 > 0:01:58And the Royal Navy helicopter crew race to a sick man who's all at sea.

0:01:58 > 0:02:0554-year-old male who's got chronic abdominal pains on our vessel.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21The UK not only boasts more than 6,000 islands,

0:02:21 > 0:02:24it has some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32But that doesn't mean our rural regions escape

0:02:32 > 0:02:35problems found in our cities.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Every year, millions of pounds' worth of drugs

0:02:37 > 0:02:40are seized from ports and motorways.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43In the countryside, the police have to be vigilant

0:02:43 > 0:02:44in their fight against drugs.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49In Dumfriesshire, the traffic police keep watch over a network

0:02:49 > 0:02:54of country roads, but patrolling the M74 is also a priority.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58The motorway bridges Scotland and England, and drug traffickers

0:02:58 > 0:03:00regularly travel up and down the UK on this route.

0:03:01 > 0:03:07PC Ally Bell, known in the force as the human sniffer dog,

0:03:07 > 0:03:09has an uncanny ability to hunt out drugs.

0:03:11 > 0:03:1515 years in road policing means his hunches usually pay off.

0:03:17 > 0:03:18Bingo.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Tonight, Ally's on patrol with PC Callum Kingstree,

0:03:23 > 0:03:27determined to track down drivers on drug runs to and from

0:03:27 > 0:03:30known hotspots in Manchester and Liverpool.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34They head for the motorway, to spot-check southbound cars.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41I think he might be a candidate.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44We'll have a wee look and see what he's doing up in Scotland.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45He's from Oldham.

0:03:45 > 0:03:50According to records, the car owner is 150 miles from home,

0:03:50 > 0:03:52so they decide to pull him over.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58Just a routine check, nothing to worry about.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Is it your car, is it?

0:04:05 > 0:04:08The driver gives details which are different to the police database.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12And he says he's from Edinburgh, not Oldham.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23Carrying around your birth certificate is unusual,

0:04:23 > 0:04:27but in the drug world, dealers often demand to see them for ID.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Ally suspects there's more to this man than meets the eye.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33He runs a check on his background.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Thank you, I've one person, I'm looking for any previous conviction.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Thanks very much.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Although he's been done twice before for selling drugs,

0:04:54 > 0:04:57they have nothing on the suspect tonight and let him go.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00But since he's heading south,

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Ally's got a feeling he may be up to his old tricks.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07I was of the opinion that he was travelling

0:05:07 > 0:05:10to the Manchester or Liverpool areas,

0:05:10 > 0:05:14to be involved in some form of drug activity,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17and if I think that I can disrupt that

0:05:17 > 0:05:20and get a result when he comes back, I will wait on him.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24So PCs Ally and Callum start a stakeout.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36Five and a half hours later, Ally's hunch pays off.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39They spot the same car, returning to Scotland.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Lights, camera, action.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44That's our boy that we've been waiting on.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47We'll just get a stop on the Misuse of Drugs Act now, and detain him

0:05:47 > 0:05:51and we'll take him back to Lockerbie and have a search of his car.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54So the wait was worth it.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58The driver is pulled over for the second time tonight

0:05:58 > 0:06:01at around 11pm.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03All right, pal, how are you getting on?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Good listen, I'm just going to detain you at the minute

0:06:06 > 0:06:09under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, for the purposes of a search.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11OK?

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Going to caution you at this time, you're not obliged to say anything.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Anything you say, though, may be used as evidence.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18OK, you understand that?

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Yeah.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Out you come.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24Just come round here for me now.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31The driver is handcuffed and taken back to the station.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34He's put in a holding cell and searched.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Ally and Callum then examine his car.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Eventually, Ally finds a white substance

0:06:45 > 0:06:48wrapped in Clingfilm on the driver's side.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50A wee lighter up there.

0:06:51 > 0:06:55They suspect this small bag contains amphetamine.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59But the search for a bigger stash of drugs is less fruitful.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05All right, we've checked just every void in the car.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Unfortunately, looks as though he's just got a bit of personal amount

0:07:08 > 0:07:12but hey, it's better than nothing at the end of the day, isn't it?

0:07:12 > 0:07:15And hopefully it'll pass the message on to him that,

0:07:15 > 0:07:17if he is wanting to be involved in supply of drugs, not to...

0:07:17 > 0:07:21not to come up our road, or he'll be harpooned again.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24The white powder will be sent to the lab for testing.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27But this driver now knows that Ally will be on his tail

0:07:27 > 0:07:31if he suspects he's trafficking drugs through Dumfries and Galloway.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47The emergency services face unique challenges in the countryside.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52Despite vast distances and narrow rural roads,

0:07:52 > 0:07:55they must still be on scene within minutes.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59In Dumfries, former nurse and now paramedic, Elaine Main,

0:07:59 > 0:08:02is on shift with trainee Keith Roxburgh.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05'999 road activated.'

0:08:05 > 0:08:08They've just received an emergency call

0:08:08 > 0:08:10to a man who's injured himself at work.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13We're responding to an emergency call, it's...

0:08:13 > 0:08:18All we know is it's a 39-year-old man with a back injury.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20We don't know anything about the severity,

0:08:20 > 0:08:22but we'll soon find out when we arrive on scene.

0:08:22 > 0:08:2412 minutes after the call,

0:08:24 > 0:08:27they arrive on site and locate the casualty.

0:08:27 > 0:08:3039-year-old Colin is in agony.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34What's happened to you today?

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Yesterday I was in hospital getting a bronchial,

0:08:37 > 0:08:41or tube down my nose into my left lung.

0:08:41 > 0:08:48But it's like my left... right lung, at the bottom,

0:08:48 > 0:08:51is absolutely killing me.

0:08:51 > 0:08:56Colin's been suffering for several hours. And it's taking its toll.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58It started about ten o'clock.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Um, but I just...

0:09:05 > 0:09:09I get a certain pain, I keep on working through it and...

0:09:09 > 0:09:11But this is completely different from...

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Completely different.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Can I just have a look at your chest?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Very painful?- Mm-hmm.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27OK.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Pop this onto your finger, OK?

0:09:30 > 0:09:33So the pain is more down this, here?

0:09:33 > 0:09:35A bit further down, and round.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39So, round...?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41From about there, yeah.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43What were you actually doing when the pain started?

0:09:43 > 0:09:45I was actually driving.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Is there any pain going down your leg at all, or...?

0:09:48 > 0:09:53- No.- Any different sensation, pins and needles or...?- No.

0:09:54 > 0:09:59With no diagnosis so far, Keith prepares an ECG

0:09:59 > 0:10:03to identify any problems with Colin's heart rhythm.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08Basically we pick up the electrical conductivity of the muscles in the heart.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Usually you've got a degree of suspicion -

0:10:11 > 0:10:13you know, his pulse might be irregular,

0:10:13 > 0:10:16or he's complaining of pain or shortness of breath -

0:10:16 > 0:10:20and you can use the machine just to help you confirm a diagnosis.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Right, just nice and still, OK?

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Sometimes you can have the back of the heart being affected

0:10:27 > 0:10:30and you can have back pain with some heart attacks.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Finding the cause of Colin's mystery pain is a process of elimination.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40What would you give your pain as a score out of ten,

0:10:40 > 0:10:44if ten was the worst pain you could ever imagine?

0:10:44 > 0:10:45It's about nine.

0:10:45 > 0:10:50I'm just drawing up some morphine just now, which I'm diluting.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Nice and still. Sharp scratch.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55The morphine should give Colin immediate relief.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58And what would you say your pain score was now?

0:11:01 > 0:11:03It's about a seven.

0:11:03 > 0:11:04It's helped?

0:11:04 > 0:11:07It's a little bit better.

0:11:07 > 0:11:12The team are reassured that Colin isn't suffering a major heart episode.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14With his pain more manageable,

0:11:14 > 0:11:17they must now get him to hospital as soon as possible.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29It's only a short journey, but it's still a painful one.

0:11:31 > 0:11:3315 minutes later,

0:11:33 > 0:11:37Colin's transferred to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40The hospital medics will run further tests

0:11:40 > 0:11:41to get to the root of the problem.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Illegal drugs are as big a problem in rural areas

0:11:53 > 0:11:55as they are in the cities.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58And in Dumfries and Galloway, drug crime is on the rise.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03I think he might be a candidate.

0:12:03 > 0:12:08Now Ally's back on motorway patrol with PC Cammy Thomson.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Determined to hunt out drugs in their Border region,

0:12:11 > 0:12:13they carry out random spot checks.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19All right, pal? Nothing to worry about, just a routine stop.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21Can I just get you to turn your music down for a minute?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Is this your vehicle, is it?

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Do you have your driving documents with you at all?- Aye.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Where you heading to today?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Back to Alloa? Where've you been?

0:12:32 > 0:12:34Right, what was that for?

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Right.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Just, for the holidays, or...?

0:12:38 > 0:12:42Right, OK. So when did you set off?

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Right. Got your licence there, have you, pal?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48How long were you down there for?

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Couple of hours?

0:12:50 > 0:12:51About an hour?

0:12:51 > 0:12:54So you went down for an hour to visit your cousin?

0:12:54 > 0:12:55Right.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Have you ever been in any bother with the police before?

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Ally has a hunch that something's not right

0:13:01 > 0:13:02about driver Adam's story.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Before you can search the vehicle, and search them,

0:13:08 > 0:13:10you need to have a reasonable suspicion

0:13:10 > 0:13:12that there's drugs in the car.

0:13:12 > 0:13:17So if you can put together the plan that he's left his home address

0:13:17 > 0:13:19to go and visit his relative,

0:13:19 > 0:13:22and the timescale he gives is very, very short,

0:13:22 > 0:13:26he's not going to drive from Alloa to Manchester for a half hour visit.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29'That's raising your suspicion straightaway.'

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Just jump out for me a minute.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42Just watch yourself next to the road there, buddy, just stand in here.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45The officers continue to question Adam,

0:13:45 > 0:13:47and he soon gets stuck for answers.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52Whereabouts did you meet your cousin? At his house?

0:13:52 > 0:13:54What kind of house has he got?

0:13:54 > 0:13:57Is it semi-detached, detached, bungalow?

0:13:58 > 0:14:00- A house?- Aye.- All right. OK.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03'When we stop him, he was nervous anyway,'

0:14:03 > 0:14:05so if you can fire a few quick questions at him,

0:14:05 > 0:14:07even very, very simple questions,

0:14:07 > 0:14:09like, "What sort of house does your cousin live in?"

0:14:09 > 0:14:13and you could see how difficult he found that to answer.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16You know, it's not rocket science.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19Adam, just listen to me for a second, all right?

0:14:19 > 0:14:21Is there anything in the car that shouldn't be there?

0:14:21 > 0:14:24The situation is getting more serious for Adam.

0:14:38 > 0:14:42The British mainland has over 11,000 miles of coastline,

0:14:42 > 0:14:45and emergency services covering the countryside,

0:14:45 > 0:14:49travel massive distances to save lives on land and at sea.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54It's 10.53 in the morning at HMS Gannet in Ayrshire.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59It's the start of the Navy Search and Rescue crew's 24-hour shift.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02ALARM BEEPS

0:15:02 > 0:15:04In Brodick Bay? Right, OK.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08An emergency call has come in.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12Phil Gamble will be the Sea King helicopter's observer.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14He gathers the necessary information.

0:15:15 > 0:15:21We've got a 54-year-old male

0:15:21 > 0:15:26who's got chronic abdominal pains on a vessel, a Fishery Patrol vessel,

0:15:26 > 0:15:30that's in the vicinity of Arran, on its way to Ardrossan,

0:15:30 > 0:15:34so we're going to go and take him off to the hospital.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37The Fisheries Protection vessel with the sick crewman

0:15:37 > 0:15:40is making its way from Brodick on the Isle of Arran,

0:15:40 > 0:15:42to Ardrossan on the mainland.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45It's 22 miles from HMS Gannet's base at Prestwick.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52They don't yet know the severity of the man's condition.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58So the nearest hospital, around 20 miles away, is on stand-by.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01Winchman and Search and Rescue medic Lee Haggerty

0:16:01 > 0:16:05will descend to the deck of the ship to assess the situation.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30Phil contacts the ship's captain for an update.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04The ship is out at sea,

0:17:04 > 0:17:07and with the possibility of a man's life at risk,

0:17:07 > 0:17:10the crew arrive on the scene in just 12 minutes.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15Now they need to winch medic Lee Haggerty onto the deck of the moving vessel.

0:17:19 > 0:17:20Lower the winch.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Two o'clock.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Right. Half past two.

0:17:25 > 0:17:2612 yards.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Five yards.

0:17:30 > 0:17:31Right.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35Four yards. Three yards.

0:17:37 > 0:17:38Continue right. One yard. Easy.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39And steady there.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41On the deck.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44On board, Lee is led straight to the casualty,

0:17:44 > 0:17:46Graeme, who's had serious health issues before.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00As Phil repositions the winch, Lee prepares Graeme for the uplift.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Graeme, take your hat off. That'll go everywhere.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Have you put your glasses in your pocket? If you can.

0:18:07 > 0:18:11- Absolutely fine on your feet to get a single strop?- Yes.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Within half an hour of take-off,

0:18:29 > 0:18:33the team have winched Graeme to the safety of the helicopter.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39Now they need to get him to hospital in case his condition deteriorates.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Lee gathers Graeme's vital information to pass on to

0:18:44 > 0:18:47the staff at Crosshouse hospital in Kilmarnock.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13And in just ten minutes, Graeme is delivered into safe hands,

0:19:13 > 0:19:16and the crew can return to HMS Gannet.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38Whether by air or on land, when someone is in severe pain,

0:19:38 > 0:19:41the emergency services speed to their assistance.

0:19:43 > 0:19:48In Dumfries and Galloway, ambulance crews cover huge distances,

0:19:48 > 0:19:51but their average response time for emergency calls,

0:19:51 > 0:19:54is just ten minutes.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58Paramedic Elaine is back on shift, this time with Paul McGill.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02They're on their way to help a man with suspected diabetic problems.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07He's in Lockerbie town centre,

0:20:07 > 0:20:1014 miles from their Dumfries ambulance base.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Although it's outside their catchment,

0:20:12 > 0:20:16Elaine and Paul respond to the call, as local ambulances are all busy.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20We're going to somebody with diabetic problems.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24I don't know if it's a collapse on the high street in Lockerbie.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28Over three million people suffer from diabetes in the UK.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31It's a disease that affects the level of sugar in your bloodstream.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38Symptoms can range from mild dizziness, through to coma.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40And it can sometimes be fatal.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45Hello.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48We'll get you into the back of the ambulance, I think, will we?

0:20:50 > 0:20:52And you're struggling to walk...

0:20:56 > 0:20:58When they reach George, he's conscious but dizzy -

0:20:58 > 0:21:01a clear sign of hypoglycaemia or low blood sugar.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06He's been diabetic for around 18 years.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08How are you feeling just now though,

0:21:08 > 0:21:11what's making you think that you're hypo?

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Elaine takes a blood sample to check blood sugar levels.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Just a wee sharp scratch.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24You do that quite often, aye.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35George forgot to check his blood sugar when he woke up,

0:21:35 > 0:21:38so it could have been slowly dropping all day.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41But he carries an emergency supply of sugar.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12George's blood sugar reading isn't dangerously low at the moment,

0:22:12 > 0:22:15but his drowsiness is a concern.

0:22:17 > 0:22:22As time passes, George becomes more and more lethargic.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25Elaine needs to boost his blood sugar level.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Open your eyes a wee minute.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30I'm nearly blind, by the way.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33OK, right, well, it's just... If you feel here, it's just...

0:22:33 > 0:22:35- I know what it is. - A tube of gel.- Yeah.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38OK, well, if I give you this, you can just

0:22:38 > 0:22:40put little bits into your mouth.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43If George's blood sugar plummets like it did when he was out

0:22:43 > 0:22:47in the town centre, he could end up slipping into unconsciousness.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54The combination of the sugary gel and oxygen is bringing George

0:22:54 > 0:22:58round again, and restoring his sense of humour.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Are you allergic to anything, George?

0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Anything medicine-wise?- No.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12George normally manages his diabetes with insulin.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14When did you start taking insulin?

0:23:14 > 0:23:18But it's crucial to balance that with food, or a hypo is inevitable.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21So when did you last eat?

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Last night. You've not had anything to eat today.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33It's three o'clock in the afternoon. Did you not have any lunch?

0:23:33 > 0:23:35No.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41Nearly at Dumfries hospital, Elaine rechecks his blood sugar level.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45It's gone back down to 7.6 from 8.1.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50It must just be dropping, so, do you want to take some more of this stuff?

0:23:51 > 0:23:53He's given a second tube of glucose.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57That it?

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Thank you.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03You're welcome. I'll pop this back on.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06Not eating anything today and then not checking his blood sugar,

0:24:06 > 0:24:09led to George's bad turn in town.

0:24:09 > 0:24:13Fortunately, the ambulance crew got to him

0:24:13 > 0:24:15before his hypo became severe.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17They'll just monitor him, monitor his levels.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21From the history that we've been given this morning it does look like

0:24:21 > 0:24:24it's purely because he's taken his insulin and he hasn't fed himself.

0:24:24 > 0:24:28Any diabetic would tell you that just doesn't work.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Just a few miles south,

0:24:38 > 0:24:41on the motorway bridging England and Scotland,

0:24:41 > 0:24:42driver Adam is being questioned by

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Dumfries and Galloway Traffic Police.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49He was stopped at random by PCs Cammy Thompson and Ally Bell.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53They throw him quickfire questions about where he'd been,

0:24:53 > 0:24:54leaving him flummoxed.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58What kind of house have you got?

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Semi-detached, detached, bungalow?

0:25:02 > 0:25:03- A house?- Aye.- OK.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Ally thinks he's onto something.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10- Is there anything in the car that shouldn't be there?- Aye.- What is it?

0:25:10 > 0:25:13How much is there?

0:25:14 > 0:25:16- Nothing in your pockets?- No.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21Adam's been stopped in his tracks.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23He's taken to Lockerbie Police Station

0:25:23 > 0:25:24to be charged.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Just stand there.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31What we're waiting for is the authority to give you a full search.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Do you want to grab...shorts and T-shirt out for him?

0:25:34 > 0:25:35- Right.- Ta.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39He's then taken to a holding cell.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Back at the charge bar, he's cautioned.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54Section 14 of the Criminal Procedure of Scotland Act 1995

0:25:54 > 0:25:56for being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58OK?

0:25:58 > 0:26:00That gives us the power to hold you for up to 12 hours,

0:26:00 > 0:26:03while we make further enquiries. You understand that?

0:26:03 > 0:26:06I'll caution you again. You're not obliged to say anything

0:26:06 > 0:26:09but anything you say may be used as evidence. Do you understand that?

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Was there anything you want to say at this time?

0:26:12 > 0:26:14- No.- Good. You understand how we're going?- Aye.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17INDISTINCT TANNOY

0:26:18 > 0:26:24We'll put you back in a cell while we search your car. OK?

0:26:27 > 0:26:31Outside, Cammy takes photos of Adam's car for evidence.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46They make a thorough search of the car

0:26:46 > 0:26:49but both know where they're likely to find the drugs.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57Lo and behold, there's the 15-ounce stash of cannabis

0:26:57 > 0:26:59Adam admitted to.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07I can usually identify who I want to stop

0:27:07 > 0:27:11and are more likely to be bringing drugs into Scotland.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13It's something I enjoy doing

0:27:13 > 0:27:16and I feel it's rewarding for myself

0:27:16 > 0:27:19to get a good case.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25With an estimated street value of between £2,000 and £3,000,

0:27:25 > 0:27:27Adam's got some explaining to do.

0:27:38 > 0:27:42It's been all go for the emergency services in Scotland's rural areas.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48Graeme was kept in hospital overnight.

0:27:48 > 0:27:49After more routine tests,

0:27:49 > 0:27:52he was given the all-clear to rejoin the ship at Troon.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58It turned out Colin the coalman had kidney stones,

0:27:58 > 0:28:01a very painful condition.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03He was kept in hospital for two days.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09George was also kept in hospital for a night.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13He's now fully recovered and is taking more care when he goes out.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17Adam was released on bail.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21He later pleaded guilty to being involved in the supply of drugs

0:28:21 > 0:28:24and was sentenced to 200 hours unpaid work.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28And you thought it was quiet in the countryside(!)
