0:00:00 > 0:00:01Today on Real Rescues:
0:00:01 > 0:00:06using battlefield skills, medics fight to save the life of an injured biker.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09From my experience in Afghanistan and Iraq,
0:00:09 > 0:00:12serious injuries of this nature do bleed.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16So I applied tourniquets to both his hand and his leg.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19And the two-year-old boy who's locked himself in his parents' car
0:00:19 > 0:00:22and will hand over everything but the keys!
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Jack, can you get the keys for me, please?
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hello. Welcome to Real Rescues.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56We're in one of the busiest police control rooms in the country.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59We're used to dealing with call centres, but this one is vital.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01This one could save your life.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Just before we started the programme, there was an incident here.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Yes, and the whole atmosphere in the place changed.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Everybody becomes very serious.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11- Very busy.- Very tuned in.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15There was an incident where somebody was armed and attacked somebody.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- They believed they needed to send an...- Armed Response Unit.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23The call came in over here on the desk by the motorways there.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26The lady took the call over there.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30And then it was picked up by the area that deals with that area.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Having cleared up that incident, there's another one going on now.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38That's Inspector Phil who's in charge of the control room today.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42He's shouting over to the other desk because they have another serious incident.
0:01:42 > 0:01:47- So we won't talk to them for the moment.- This is an extraordinary place to be.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50We'll keep out of their way for the next few minutes.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54The medical techniques used to treat injured soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan
0:01:54 > 0:01:57are influencing the way accident victims are helped back home.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02Those skills are very much needed when a doctor fights to save a life and a limb.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09It's late rush hour and PC Alex Dale is on duty.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13There's a report of an accident in an area of Portsmouth
0:02:13 > 0:02:16with at least one injury.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18There's been mention on the radio
0:02:18 > 0:02:20of a person with fractures, still in the road.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32He arrives to find a motorcyclist lying on his back in the road.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36It's clear straightaway that he's suffered very serious leg injuries.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Rapid Response paramedic Pete Hackett is on the scene.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43An emergency doctor has been called as well.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45A couple saw Darren hit the ground.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47We just saw the guy fall out of the sky
0:02:47 > 0:02:51then the motorbike came flying into my car and bounced off it.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Graham jumped out and ran over.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55And the ladies came along.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58They sat with him while I phoned the ambulance.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Fingers crossed he's OK. I know he's hurt his knee but fingers crossed he's OK.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Darren is desperately trying to see what's happened to his leg.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Dr Brando Tamayo is the emergency doctor on call.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23He arrives and immediately realises the injuries to Darren's leg are very serious indeed.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24But he tries to calm him.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36It was fairly clear that this was likely to be very significant.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38He had a large hole in his jeans
0:03:38 > 0:03:41with a large amount of disruption underneath.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45You could see bare flesh where his kneecap used to be.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48You could see some elements of broken bone inside.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52The nerves, the blood vessels, arteries, veins that supply the lower leg
0:03:52 > 0:03:54go through that area.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58If you disturb it, you potentially threaten the whole leg.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06The paramedic, Pete Hackett, has prepared Darren for intravenous pain relief.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Pete had already put a cannula in his arm.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10That allowed me to give him powerful drugs,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13more potent than morphine and very quick acting.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Darren is lying quite close to his motorcycle
0:04:16 > 0:04:18so it was not a very high-speed accident.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22However, he's also suffered dreadful injuries to his hand.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I didn't take the glove off because you can cause injuries
0:04:25 > 0:04:28by taking clothing off when you don't need to.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32But by looking through the glove material which was damaged,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36I could see blood and significant tissue disruption
0:04:36 > 0:04:38and at least the loss of two fingers,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40or partial loss of two fingers.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44An ambulance has arrived to take Darren to the hospital.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52With such serious wounds, it is not just the limb that is under threat but potentially Darren's life.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57In my experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, serious injuries of this nature do bleed.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Not necessarily at the instant they occur, but after a period of time,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05the spasm in the blood vessels that have been damaged goes away
0:05:05 > 0:05:06and it starts to bleed.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10So I applied tourniquets to both his hand and his leg.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Darren has now received the strongest painkiller.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17But his leg must be straightened before he's loaded into the ambulance.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18Aghhh!
0:05:18 > 0:05:25Arteries and veins work best in the anatomical position they were designed to be in.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Which is the leg straight.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29The injuries are so severe,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Dr Brando is preparing Darren on the roadside for surgery at hospital.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37The aim is to get him straight into the operating theatre.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Darren is so badly injured, his leg and possibly his life are in danger.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44As you'll see, the medics can't relax.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Their emergency skills are needed even in the ambulance.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Just to let you know, the armed response is still ongoing.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54They're dealing with the situation.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56If we get any details of what's going on
0:05:56 > 0:06:01and what's causing the police to be so much on their game we'll let you know.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Moving on. The Hampshire Police spotter plane
0:06:03 > 0:06:07is a resource that can be called upon by any officer on the ground.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Louise has been to meet the crew and hear about a race against time
0:06:11 > 0:06:12to find a missing man.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17This here is the police spotter plane. Mark works for the Air Support Unit.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22You've got some amazing equipment. Show me the cameras that do the work - with you in control.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25On the front is the 360-degree camera system that we use.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28It's equipped with three types of camera.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30One is a thermal image camera
0:06:30 > 0:06:32which we tend to use at night.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35And we have a normal video camera which we can zoom in and out
0:06:35 > 0:06:37and a fixed zoom, colour zoom.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41And these pictures can be broadcast live into the control room.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44We down-link them from the aircraft to the control room.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47And you can take charge of an incident if you're involved in it?
0:06:47 > 0:06:52With most incidents, when we get overhead, we take over command from the control room.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55We're better able to deploy resources where they're needed.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Let's have a look at some of the vital work they do from this aircraft.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04An elderly man had gone missing for 24 hours and they went out to find him.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16The New Forest in Hampshire. Spotter plane Boxer 1-0
0:07:16 > 0:07:20is looking for a vulnerable man in his late 60s who's been missing all night.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25He left his care home for his daily walk and never came back.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31A search was carried out but was called off at three in the morning.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33They're now back out again.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35PC Andy Sparshott is on board.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38He knows the longer the man remains lost,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40the less likely he is to be found alive.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45He'd been missing 13 hours.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48He's been out overnight, so your fears are
0:07:48 > 0:07:51that you're going to find him too late.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54You're going to find him and by the time you get to him,
0:07:54 > 0:08:00the exposure of being outside has resulted in him losing his life.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Andy is controlling the plane's immensely powerful camera.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07It can read a number plate from a height of 2,000 feet.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11But it's a huge area to search.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15The area we worked out to be 23 square miles.
0:08:15 > 0:08:21To find a person in a 23-square-mile area is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24The person could be anywhere within that area.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Below them, people are going about their daily activities,
0:08:28 > 0:08:30unaware that in this scenic landscape,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32somebody might be in distress.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39With painstaking care, the team investigates anything that moves,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41every bright or strange object they see.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50So far, nothing.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51But then, after half an hour,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54something catches the corner of Andy's eye.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59I get the glimpse of something on the edge of this pond
0:08:59 > 0:09:01which is a different colour.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05'Boxer 1-0. We think we've located a male. Stand by for location.'
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Amazingly, they've found him.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14'Boxer 1-0. We can confirm we have a male. He's lying on his back
0:09:14 > 0:09:18'on the edge of a small pond. He's waving, so he is moving.'
0:09:18 > 0:09:22My heart skipped a beat. Straightaway,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24it was euphoria.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Shouting out, "I've got him! I've found him!"
0:09:28 > 0:09:32The man is conscious and breathing but he's been out all night
0:09:32 > 0:09:34and is lying in water.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36He could be in a fragile condition.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40They want to get emergency services to him as soon as possible.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43'Unit two, it's on Long Cross Plain.'
0:09:44 > 0:09:48'Delta 149. We'll get a unit out to them. Thank you.'
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Pilot John Harding flies lower over the man
0:09:51 > 0:09:53to try and let him know he's been spotted.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58'1-0. There is a track that runs off the main road there
0:09:58 > 0:10:00'that vehicles can come down through.'
0:10:00 > 0:10:03'Can I have an ambulance to this location also, please?'
0:10:04 > 0:10:10In this terrain where the roads and tracks can seem indistinguishable,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13the spotter plane comes into its own. From above,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15the team can direct the forces on the ground
0:10:15 > 0:10:17to an exact location,
0:10:17 > 0:10:19saving valuable time.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23'Continue driving up the road. You've still got a little way to go. Over.'
0:10:25 > 0:10:28'Is it further up?'
0:10:28 > 0:10:31'Continue through the crossroads
0:10:31 > 0:10:35'150 metres up on the left hand side
0:10:35 > 0:10:39'is a further gravel track with a small silver hatchback parked in it.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41'You need to turn left on that track. Over.'
0:10:43 > 0:10:45'Yes. Left there. Left there.'
0:10:52 > 0:10:56The two policemen first to the scene are guided straight to the casualty.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59'Less than 100 metres and he's on the far side of the pond
0:10:59 > 0:11:01'as you will see him.'
0:11:04 > 0:11:08To just see that image of him lying on the ground
0:11:08 > 0:11:12and the fact we'd found him and he's still alive, he's waving his arms.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14It was just absolute elation.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Paramedics are also on their way.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21The police get the man out of the water and start to warm him up.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27His lonely ordeal is over.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36Mark, there must be an incredible sense of relief when you find somebody like that man
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- who was in quite a lot of danger. - Indeed.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40It was a 24-hour operation, really,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43and it was nice to find the gentleman.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44And he was safe and well.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49You also have a story about a little boy who is autistic and got into trouble.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53A five-year-old autistic lad ran off from his parents. He had an attraction to water.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56A similar area to where that gentleman was.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59We found him in a pond, up to his knees, drinking the water.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04At great risk to himself. If he'd tripped and fallen in, the situation could have been different.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- So by spotting him from this plane, you saved his life. - Effectively, yes.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13The thing about this plane is any officer can call you up and ask for help.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16They can, yes. Mostly, the requests come through the control room.
0:12:16 > 0:12:22But we do have our own channel where any officer can call us up and request our services.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Do you get called out for all sorts of things?- Yes.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Not just missing people. Criminal incidents as well. Tell me about that later.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- And you've promised to take me flying to see how it works.- Yes.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39We're in the air later on, following a man so desperate to escape the police
0:12:39 > 0:12:43he jumps off a cliff. And I can give you an update on what's going on.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47We've had an Armed Response Unit sent out before the programme.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51As we started the programme, another incident kicked off. We have some information.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56The call is being handled by that desk with the supervisors working with the call taker.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00On this side, the inspector is considering what to do next.
0:13:00 > 0:13:07He has already sent out the Armed Response Unit. That's the second time inside an hour, locally.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11So a lot going on here for the guys to think about.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14In the meantime, we'll move on. Louise?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I'm on this side to keep out of their way while they deal with that.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22Now, forensics. Something happened earlier that Sarah can tell me about.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- You're not busy?- Hi.- A security guard had a problem with ten people. What was going on?
0:13:27 > 0:13:33I believe he was on site, and ten men came and bundled him into a corner
0:13:33 > 0:13:36and stole £3,000-worth of copper piping from the site.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39OK. A serious incident. Why has forensics been called in?
0:13:39 > 0:13:44We've been called in because copper piping is a nice shiny surface.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49If we recover it, we might find prints on it. Also, there was a tyre print left in some mud.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53We don't normally attend for tyre prints, vehicle marks,
0:13:53 > 0:13:58unless there's a vehicle involved and there was a vehicle tagged in the area.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- OK.- So if we can track that down. - You take an imprint of the tyre? - They've taken photos, I believe.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07We put a scale rule next to it to say how big it is and everything.
0:14:07 > 0:14:13If they can track the vehicle down, they can match it to the tyre print on the photo.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- So that, with the copper piping, who knows what will happen?- Yeah.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20As we saw earlier, a motorcyclist has hit a car and is seriously injured.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25Both a Rapid Response paramedic and a critical care doctor are on the scene.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28The victim has been given the strongest painkiller possible
0:14:28 > 0:14:31but straightening his leg proves difficult.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Aghhh!
0:14:33 > 0:14:35They now need to get him to hospital.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42Darren's leg is so badly injured, his limb and possibly his life, are in danger.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47Critical care doctor Brando Tamayo has given him the strongest pain relief.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51His leg is now in the correct position, in a splint.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54The next step is getting him into the ambulance.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55One, two, three.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59They gently roll him onto a scoop stretcher.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02This is used when the patient can endure only minimum movement.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10He's now ready to go to hospital, but he's not out of danger.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Dr Brando will travel with him.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Meanwhile, PC Alex gets on with the police investigation.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22He talks to the driver of the car which was in collision with Darren.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24What happened?
0:15:24 > 0:15:28The car and the bike were going in opposite directions and collided at a turning.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32The driver is very shaken after Darren bounced off his bonnet.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37Alex's colleague, Sergeant Scott Davison, clears up the debris from the road.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39As you can see,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42there's blood down there from the motorcyclist.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I'll remove anything bloodstained or medical so kids don't get hold of it.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51Meanwhile, on the way to hospital, Brando's fears about Darren's wounds are realised.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55As soon as we got him into the ambulance, the spasm in the blood vessels relaxed.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00His knee started to bleed. I tightened the tourniquet at that point,
0:16:00 > 0:16:06stopped the bleeding and so stopped any potential for him losing his life related to blood loss.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Back at the roadside, PC Alex has finished routine tests
0:16:10 > 0:16:14which are carried out on every driver involved in an accident.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18He's passed everything we've done. He's not been drinking or on anything.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22But he is understandably upset about what's happened.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Recovery has arrived to take Darren's motorbike away.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Alex has gathered all the evidence for his investigation.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I have to make sure it's documented correctly.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Gather all the stuff the other officers have.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37They've all got stuff - photos, or spoken to witnesses.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Make sure it's collected together.
0:16:39 > 0:16:45We'll look at it tomorrow when we have an idea of what the guy's injuries are. Take it from there.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Darren and Dr Tamayo have joined us.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Firstly, how's the leg? It looked pretty horrific.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It's coming on very well, Nick.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Can we see the scar? - You can if you want to see it!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Quite substantial. Got much movement in the leg?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I've got about 60-degree motion in the knee at the moment.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05That's not bad, is it?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- Five months.- Yes, it's slow progress, isn't it?
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- And you lost a couple of fingers? - Yes.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- Which is a problem because you work in...- IT.- IT.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Are you managing to retrain, or finding it difficult?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22A bit difficult because you miss certain keys on the keyboard!
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- I see. Do you get like the ghost... - Phantom fingers, yeah.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I could swear blind my fingers were there.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- So you're moving as if to type, and missing the keys.- Yeah.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38A complication I hadn't thought of. Looking back at the film, and that evening,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- do you remember much of it? - Absolutely nothing.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45What's it like to see it and see everybody looking after you?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49A bit surreal. But obviously grateful for all the help that was there.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51We can take a look at some of your x-rays.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Not being medical, Dr Tamayo, which bit is that?
0:17:54 > 0:17:59That's the femur and the screws are holding it together.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- So he'd shattered it.- Shattered the top part of the knee.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- That's the...shin bone? - That's the mid shin bone.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08There are two breaks. Both bones in the lower leg.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Yes, the little bone, bottom right. And the next one?
0:18:11 > 0:18:16This is how you mend a shin bone. Or one of the ways.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19There's a substantial bit of metalwork there,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21holding the tibia together.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25The smaller bone will knit together, if it's in the right position.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- It seems to have done the job. You lost part of your kneecap? - About 40%.- 40%.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36- Has that made a difference? - Obviously with mobility. Walking and stairs.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I imagine that's a problem.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42You're not considering going back on a motorbike again?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- Hmm...- You sort of are?- Pass!
0:18:44 > 0:18:48So at first it's, "I'm never going back on a bike" and now...
0:18:48 > 0:18:51No, since Day One, I wanted to get back on the bike.
0:18:51 > 0:18:57- Yeah.- OK. Dr Tamayo, talk us through... What was fascinating for me,
0:18:57 > 0:18:59you have a military background. The navy.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04- I was navy up to about 19 days ago. - As recently as that?
0:19:04 > 0:19:11- Yes.- OK. And you were often ferrying the injured troops away from the front line by helicopter?
0:19:11 > 0:19:17Yes, in the last few years I've done tours in Afghanistan with the helicopter-based ambulance service.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20There's talk now in the medical community
0:19:20 > 0:19:23about how some of the techniques from war knowledge are coming back.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27One of them is tourniquets, which had gone out of fashion.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- It's come back?- Indeed. Tourniquets have been around for a long time
0:19:31 > 0:19:35but they lost favour in the '70s and '80s in civilian practice.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39The workload we've had in Afghanistan and Iraq means we've revisited their use
0:19:39 > 0:19:43and they've been absolutely life-saving in serious injuries
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- where blood loss is significant. - You used it with Darren.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Indeed. I put them on in case I needed to use them
0:19:50 > 0:19:54and once he started to bleed, I tightened them to stop him losing blood.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59- And there's a new kind of chemical...- In the last few years,
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- It's like a pad.- One way the military have looked at things
0:20:04 > 0:20:10is you stop the bleeding using a tourniquet device. This is a military tourniquet.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15But there are other things. Special dressings. Granule forms
0:20:15 > 0:20:20or a dressing here, you may be able to whiff a bit of sea air.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- Very sea...- A fishy smell.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- Yeah.- It's made from the skeleton of crustaceans.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31The material itself actually prompts the blood to clot.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36So it's novel. We shouldn't use it except for major injuries
0:20:36 > 0:20:42- and it can be life-saving in those areas.- In a life-threatening situation.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Fascinating work. Amazing that you give your time to do this
0:20:47 > 0:20:49because it's voluntary as well.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54- You must be chuffed to bits that these people are around. - Absolute respect for them.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59- Brilliant. Nice to see you looking a lot better. Thank you very much for coming in.- Thank you.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Still to come on Real Rescues:
0:21:03 > 0:21:06the man who thought it worth jumping off a cliff to escape police.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09'We think it's a 30-foot drop.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13'The crew on the aircraft think this guy is in serious trouble.'
0:21:13 > 0:21:17And the milkman who made an unusual discovery on his morning rounds.
0:21:31 > 0:21:37Now, if you've got one, you'll know it's difficult to get a two-year-old to do as they're told.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41When he's locked himself in your car and he's holding the keys,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43what's your next move?
0:21:45 > 0:21:50It's early evening. Green Watch respond to a call from an anxious parent.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53We're going to West Quay shopping centre.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55We've got a child locked in a car
0:21:55 > 0:21:59so we've got an emergency response just in case. They're in distress.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Can you confirm it is level seven, please? Over.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Seven flights later, they're greeted by a sheepish Lee and Lisa.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Hello.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18That's all right.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22He's in the front. Right.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27We wanted him to press the button on the key fob, but he's chucked them down the side.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30They accidentally let the door close behind them,
0:22:30 > 0:22:35leaving the key fob on the seat for their son Jack to press and lock himself in.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Jack, can you get the keys for me, please?
0:22:38 > 0:22:43For the past half hour, his parents have been trying to get the two-year-old to release himself.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48Lee's part-time job meant he was keen to avoid calling the fire service.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Retained in Fordingbridge? - I am, yeah.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56This will be back there before you are!
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Jack has dropped the key fob somewhere in the front.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04To minimise Lee's repair bill and any distress to Jack,
0:23:04 > 0:23:09the crew hope that if he can press the central locking release on the console of the car,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11they'll be able to get in.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Push the button!
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Jack, press the button.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Push the button in the middle.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Next one. Next one!
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- The other one.- The one next to it. - Push the next button.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26He could kneel on it if we get lucky.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30He's not in any distress. I'm not in a hurry to cause any damage to the car.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32So we'll wait for a few minutes.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37To help the rescue effort, Jack's gran and auntie have arrived.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Jack!
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Jack, are you going to push the button?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Got the keys?- Push the button, Jack.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50But so far, Jack's only succeeded in pushing the hazard lights on and off.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54All the indications suggest this could go on for a long time.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Jack, push the button.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00No? Not interested?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02I'm trying so hard not to laugh.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04That's it. Good boy!
0:24:08 > 0:24:10At least Jack's not upset by the fuss.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13In fact, it all seems like one big game to him!
0:24:17 > 0:24:22Time passes and Jack's parents get more anxious at not being able to reach him.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26The crew decide that they have no choice but to damage the car.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30I'm just taking the window out so that when we break it,
0:24:30 > 0:24:35it'll stay in one piece and we'll be able to lift it out without damaging the little chap in the car.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41With Jack safely distracted and a few sharp taps from a special tool called a ketch,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44they can break and pull out the glass in one go.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Jack, what's this?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49But pulling up the lock on the back door fails to open it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Please pop up!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I've even got the button. Would you believe it?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Next, a slightly different use for a ceiling hook
0:24:58 > 0:25:00as they try once more to push that button.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03That's it. Go on. Back a bit.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Go on.- Push down. Press down.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09You're pressing it down, but it isn't doing it.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12The button doesn't work.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16To open this car without causing even more damage,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19they must get hold of those keys.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22We don't know where the keys are.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25To encourage Jack to search, they use a touch of bribery.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Pull the handle.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Jack, do you want to go and get an ice cream?- Yeah!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Can you try and find Daddy's keys, please?- Yeah.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34(INAUDIBLE)
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Chocolate? OK. What about down by Daddy's coat? Are they down there?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Having set his terms,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Jack scurries off and brings back...
0:25:42 > 0:25:44a mini basketball.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Jack, can you get the keys for me, please?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52When his next attempt yields a toy car,
0:25:52 > 0:25:55all hope appears lost.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00But then a tantalising glint of metal on the floor catches Lee's eye.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Jack, can you see them there? Yeah, there they are.- Where? - Under the seat.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Having fashioned a make-shift fishing rod,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Paul Sheppard attempts to hook out the keys.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13A successful catch. Finally,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Jack can be freed from his automotive prison.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Ah, you're out!
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Oh, my God. You're boiling.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25What have you been doing in there?
0:26:25 > 0:26:29- JACK:- I stuck! I stuck! - You were stuck!
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Thankfully, unlike Dad's car,
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Jack seems none the worse for his experience.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I think you've got to try and see the funny side of it
0:26:38 > 0:26:41and just hope that it never happens again!
0:26:41 > 0:26:42I'll get a spare key.
0:26:42 > 0:26:48Yeah, get a spare key and always keep the keys on me and don't put them on the seat.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It's asking for trouble.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Green Watch can now head back to their base,
0:26:53 > 0:26:58leaving behind one fireman who's in no hurry to get back to his.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- I don't think I'll hear the end of this down the station!- No!
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Say goodbye to the nee-noos. - Bye-bye nee-noos!
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- Bye-bye nee-noos!- Bye-bye nee-noos.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Good boy!
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Finally. And he was really happy, wasn't he?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14We've seen many trapped youngsters on Real Rescues.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Down a hole...
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Another stuck in a car.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Kateleigh, listen!
0:27:20 > 0:27:22And even in a super loo!
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Oh, you've done it. Well done, mate!
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Alex, you've had to deal with young people in similar situations.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33When you know a youngster is involved, how do you approach it?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Firstly, we try to reassure the parents
0:27:36 > 0:27:41and obviously our initial concern is the safety of the child involved.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45You're quite intimidating when you've got your fire-fighter's outfit on.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Do you just tone it down a bit, or what is it?
0:27:48 > 0:27:53Yeah, we'll take our helmet off and try and strike a rapport with the child.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56"Hi, my name's Alex. What's your name?", that sort of thing.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01Tell me about one incident. You had a child who was stuck between two houses.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- How had they got there?- They'd been playing on the roof and fell between the two houses.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08They became trapped between the two walls.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12So we had to gain access by taking bricks out of one wall.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- They must have been pretty scared? - They were scared.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20We chatted to them all the time, trying to keep their spirits up.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23You literally had to take down a brick wall to get them out.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27You mentioned parents there. Sometimes they panic, sometimes they don't.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32- What do you do?- Some parents can become quite distressed
0:28:32 > 0:28:35but we try and include them in anything we do.
0:28:35 > 0:28:42Because they can be really helpful. And the child can respond better or worse depending on the parents!
0:28:42 > 0:28:45You saw Jack at the end, he was waving goodbye to the nee-noos.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Is that your thing? You want them to have a good impression.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Yes, because any incident like that can be really traumatic.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56But if we can make it light-hearted, a bit of a joke, and fun,
0:28:56 > 0:29:02- and leave them smiling, it leaves us with a smile too.- And bribery sometimes works?
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Yeah. If you can open that door, we'll give you an ice cream.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11- Come and see the blue lights on the fire engine. It all works. - Brilliant.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Now back to the work of the police Air Support Unit.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17A stolen car is being tracked from the air.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20It ends with its desperate driver risking his life.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27It's late at night, and the stolen car is tearing through the streets of Portsmouth.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- AIR SUPPORT:- Vehicle is doing 72 miles per hour. 40 mph limit.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Two police cars are in hot pursuit.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36They have to perform a tense balancing act.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41If they get too close to the stolen vehicle, the greater the risk of it crashing
0:29:41 > 0:29:44and endangering the lives of the general public.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Boxer 1-0. It's through the lights which we believe are red.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48Right, right, right.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52But with the car fixed in the spotter plane's sights,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55it allows the police drivers to keep a safe distance.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Subject vehicle is slowing.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Turn right, right, right.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04The driver clearly knows the area and pulls into a network of residential streets
0:30:04 > 0:30:06in a bid to shake off his pursuers.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09From above, it looks like a surreal computer game.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14But up in the sky, police observer Mark Arnold can help direct his fellow officers
0:30:14 > 0:30:17through the maze and stay on the trail of the thieves.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22Subject vehicle approaches junction with Portsdown Hill Road.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24It's a right, right, right.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28The chase continues into a more rural area
0:30:28 > 0:30:31and a tight road that winds through the fields.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34However, the driver's luck is about to run out.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Losing control, he goes straight into the path of an oncoming car.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Thankfully, the blow is only a glancing one,
0:30:43 > 0:30:47but the damage is enough for the car to finally come to a halt.
0:30:47 > 0:30:53The passenger has given up, though the driver has other ideas and bolts into the surrounding countryside.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58The driver is out of the vehicle, to the offside.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00It's now become a foot chase.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08Mark, you were onboard the aircraft as this whole incident was unfolding.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09We can hear your voice.
0:31:09 > 0:31:15Explain a couple of things. His car, on the thermal imaging, was brighter than anybody else's.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Yes, the reason for that is the way thermal imaging works.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20The hotter the item, the whiter it is.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24So on his car, the tyres were hot cos he'd been screeching around,
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- and you can see the engine through the bonnet.- Was it a tricky pursuit?
0:31:28 > 0:31:31It was to start with, cos it started in an inner city area.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33The street names were difficult.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- Once it got out onto the hilltop, it was easy.- Much easier.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Boxer 1-0 is with the driver. He continues down the hill
0:31:42 > 0:31:45towards the chalk pits.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49The spotter plane's thermal imaging camera easily picks up the body heat of the man
0:31:49 > 0:31:52as he makes his way through the dark undergrowth.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57Boxer 1-0. The driver is at the top of the chalk pits.
0:31:57 > 0:32:03He's running perilously close to a cliff with a 100-foot drop into a quarry.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Mark helps protect the officers on the ground
0:32:06 > 0:32:07by warning them to go slow.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11The fugitive is now heading straight for the cliff edge.
0:32:11 > 0:32:19Boxer 1-0. The subject man is now gingerly trying to go over the edge of the chalk pits.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21The man seems to know the location
0:32:21 > 0:32:23and has found a section that isn't too steep.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28Trying to locate the man. I think he's gone over the edge of the chalk pits.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32He's gradually making his way down on his backside down to the bottom of the chalk pits,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34towards Lime Grove.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37The plane's crew tell the men on the ground to hold back.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42I suggest no-one tries from the Portsdown Hill end. It's too dangerous.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Instead, they arrange to send a unit to intercept him at the bottom.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49We've got four officers. Can you guide us in, please?
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- We'll try and locate you. - We're next to one of the pylons.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57But suddenly, the man slips.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01He's fallen a long distance straight down
0:33:01 > 0:33:03and looks to be in a bad way.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07If we look again at those pictures of him falling off the cliff,
0:33:07 > 0:33:09what were you thinking?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12We think it's about a 30-foot drop,
0:33:12 > 0:33:15so the crew were thinking, "This guy's in serious trouble."
0:33:15 > 0:33:19But amazingly, he got himself up and carried on.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- As we'll see, it wasn't over yet. - One of the longest pursuits I've been on.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27The man is conscious and has staggered to his feet.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Male is now walking out into the open. Appears quite dazed.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35I suggest you pick the pace up, guys.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39He's a little way ahead and coming out into the open now.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44But he gets a burst of energy as he sees three officers haring towards him.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49Our male is now running in the general direction of Leominster.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53He heads for a labyrinth of houses and gardens.
0:33:53 > 0:33:59It may be dark, but there's no escaping the camera's-eye-view from the spotter plane.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04Male is now left, left, left behind a vehicle, trying to climb a fence.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10As he clambers over, they grab his leg, but he briefly evades capture.
0:34:10 > 0:34:15Leaping another fence, he stumbles and the police have finally got their man.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21With guidance from the spotter plane, his reckless run has finally been brought to an end
0:34:21 > 0:34:23with nobody getting seriously hurt.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29A most extraordinary chase.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30We've seen it in action,
0:34:30 > 0:34:34later in the programme, Louise flies with the police Air Support team
0:34:34 > 0:34:36to see the kit they use. Louise.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39I was going to talk to Lisa, a controller.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42She's been on board that plane for training purposes.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47But I can't talk to her as she's taking calls to do with the armed response they have.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49We'll talk later. Let's talk about something else.
0:34:49 > 0:34:54On Real Rescues, we've heard many 999 calls but this one is something different.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Milkmen are known for witnessing unusual sights in the early morning,
0:34:58 > 0:35:00but this one had everybody baffled.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Extraordinary. Now the police have to make their own emergency call.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Well, Craig, there you were, delivering milk, early in the morning
0:36:59 > 0:37:02thinking, I understand, "Nothing ever happens to me."
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- And you suddenly see something fluffy...- Yeah.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08I turned left and immediately thought, "That's a big rabbit."
0:37:08 > 0:37:12It obviously wasn't. On closer inspection, it's a kangaroo,
0:37:12 > 0:37:14as far as I was aware.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17So I saw that, pulled over, put my hazards on
0:37:17 > 0:37:22and rubbed my eyes a few times, thinking, "Is this for real or what?"
0:37:22 > 0:37:27When you called the police, did you think you were going to be a hoax call?
0:37:27 > 0:37:31I think so. It took me a good ten minutes to think, "Who do I phone?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34"And who's going to believe me when I tell them anyway?"
0:37:34 > 0:37:39I rang the police, thinking, "How do I tell them without saying the word kangaroo?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42"As soon as kangaroo comes out, it'll be laughed at."
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Then you spent some time trying to look after this kangaroo.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50Yes. They said, "Can you keep hold of it, or keep it in sight."
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Again, it sounds like a joke.- Right.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56I've never been near a kangaroo before, so I don't know how they react to humans.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00I didn't want to get too close in case it kicked me or, I don't know!
0:38:00 > 0:38:03You didn't go too close. Did you chase it on foot, or..?
0:38:03 > 0:38:10Yes, it went away from my milk van. So I chased it down the road.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13I thought, "If this gets out of my sight, and the police turn up,
0:38:13 > 0:38:17"and say, 'Where's this kangaroo?' I'll be like, well...
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- "G'day!"- Right.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23So he was eventually caught. He/she was eventually caught.
0:38:23 > 0:38:29- Eventually I was able to corner it. - With the float? With the milk float? - Yes.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33When the police got there, fortunately it bounced in front of the car
0:38:33 > 0:38:37and I just said to them, "Do you believe me now?"
0:38:37 > 0:38:39They were in hysterics at that time.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Where did it go back to? It had a happy home.
0:38:41 > 0:38:46Yes, it was from a care home not far from the site where I found it.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49It was on the road outside, at first.
0:38:49 > 0:38:55- Not a care home for kangaroos? - No, a care home for old people.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00They've got peacocks and goats and all kinds of strange animals.
0:39:00 > 0:39:06- Brilliant. I expect lots of people were worried about their milk that day!- Yes, they were. I was late!
0:39:06 > 0:39:07Thank you.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10One of the more unusual stories on Real Rescues!
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Well, we've seen how police Air Support can play a vital role in searches
0:39:14 > 0:39:19and it's all down to the sophisticated technology on board, as Louise found out.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30I'm now on board Boxer 1-0. Mark is going to show me how it works.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33You sit here normally. These are your controls.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Run me through it. You've got this system here.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39This works very similar to GPS. It goes right down to house numbers.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41We can pick a particular house out.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45This is the video screen you've seen, with the camera on the nose.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49And these are the controls. Are you going to show me how this works
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- and you've found a bus for me. - There's a bus on camera now.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54- We're following.- OK.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57So in a pursuit scenario,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00we would be figuring out what road it's on.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- And we'd relay that to the officers on the ground.- How would you do that?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06You see it here and you have a map here.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- There's our plane on the screen there.- Yeah.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13- The bus is at a bus stop behind a tree.- Yeah.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16There's the camera point. So I can work out the name of the road.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19We can zoom in nicely and get some good detail
0:40:19 > 0:40:21for the officers on the ground.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26- You can say how many people are on the bus, or a car, how many passengers.- That's right.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30I'll give you an example of what it's like at night.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- This is a thermal image we've got. - Yes, thermal image works on heat.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37The tyres on the bus are white cos they're hot.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39The engine is obviously at the back.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43That's emitting a lot more heat, so that's why it's glowing white.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- Strangely, it's almost easier to follow it, actually.- It can be.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50You do look for something distinguishable on the vehicle.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53That is classic, it's a heat signature that we can use.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58What's really obvious to me is that you are absolutely key to any ongoing operation
0:40:58 > 0:41:03because at night, a pilot can't see where he's going, nor can people on the ground.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- You give what's called the commentary.- We do the commentary.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Naming the road and any hazards and we give the traffic conditions,
0:41:10 > 0:41:13flying a particular route that they're going to
0:41:13 > 0:41:17so the officers on the ground can use such resolutions as stingers.
0:41:17 > 0:41:22- They put that across the road. - Nails across the road to puncture the tyres.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25So you're the eyes of the whole operation at that stage.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28Tell me a bit about this aircraft.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33I don't know how many times we've gone round now, but we've only been looking at it a couple of minutes.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35We've been round about nine orbits.
0:41:35 > 0:41:40I feel it's making me feel a bit nauseous, to be honest with you!
0:41:40 > 0:41:45- Do you guys get used to it? - You do get used to it. We still have our moments.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50But after a few months of flying on here, you get the hang of it,
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- It's normally fine. - Just for everybody at home,
0:41:53 > 0:41:57just in case it gets bad, look behind the seat!
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- It's all OK. - Always an available bag!
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- Thank you very much. Great work. - No problem.
0:42:04 > 0:42:10While we've been making our programme today, we've been watching the police do what they do best.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Inspector Phil Jones is in charge.
0:42:12 > 0:42:17Very unusual for you to have two armed response events inside an hour.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Yes. We've had to deploy armed units
0:42:21 > 0:42:24to two incidents in the same hour in two parts of the county.
0:42:24 > 0:42:28- The first one?- The first one was a male armed with a butcher's knife,
0:42:28 > 0:42:31threatening somebody he worked with.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35He then left on a pedal cycle into the area.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Armed units went to the area, located him and arrested him.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Which was a good result.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43The second one was an altercation between two males.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Both said to be armed, one with a machete and one with a knife.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Again, they went their separate ways into the area.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Armed units were deployed to carry out an area search.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56We're still there now looking for them as we speak.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00We're relying on basic information from an informant at the moment.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Thank you very much. I'll let you get back to it.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Amazing to see them all absolutely on their game.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Total change of atmosphere as well.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11- We'll have more Real Rescues soon. - Goodbye.- Bye!
