00:00It's not helping the tinnitus very much, this.
00:08My head is banging two in the morning, loud noises, bad mix.
00:14In Gateshead, PCs Jamie Leslie and Jan Scheimlicher are hunting for a chassis number on a suspected
00:21stolen car.
00:22Yeah, God.
00:24But it's refusing to come quietly.
00:26You've got your big talk, what do you want in Jan?
00:32What?
00:33We've got an exact match for a Black Ford Morgan.
00:40From the checks on the chassis number, it's confirmed that it was stolen well over a year
00:44ago.
00:45Good result, but not a fan of loud noises, I like me peace and quiet.
00:54Bad drivers beware, if the cops don't catch you, dash cam will.
01:01With 25,000 traffic convictions a year, down to your cameras, Britain's deadliest drivers
01:09have nowhere left to hide.
01:16And on the front line are our motorway cops.
01:24We join Northumbria police.
01:25Can I get a selfie with this?
01:26No, I've just took your car off you.
01:29As they chase down dangerous drivers.
01:31Mate, you're all bladdered, you've had a drink, haven't you?
01:34I've had two.
01:35And get the worst offenders.
01:36Did they do what I've just done, which is shoot and hit, but I nearly got away.
01:41Nearly got away, but you didn't.
01:42Off our roads.
01:43Do you know how to be a coach?
01:46Yeah.
01:47Anything I do say may be given in evidence, Mr. Officer.
01:51In their battle with idiots behind the wheel, is dash cam.
01:56Have you seen the dash cam footage?
01:58It's vital evidence.
01:59So, your address there?
02:01And proof that Britain's dumbest drivers are a law unto themselves.
02:09Police one, criminal nil.
02:20He's absolutely mortal.
02:21He's going to kill somebody.
02:22Tonight.
02:23You're absolutely hammered, you.
02:24I've had a drink.
02:25All you need to do is take a breath test.
02:26A drink driver gets some sobering last orders.
02:27Well, I'm losing my license.
02:28Don't lie.
02:29Yous are the people who kill most people, man, on the roads.
02:30A boy racer lays down the law.
02:31Your car's going to get seized under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act.
02:32No, it's not.
02:33You can't take it.
02:34Oh, OK, then.
02:35You can't take it.
02:36You can't take it.
02:37You can't take it.
02:38You can't take it.
02:39You can't take it.
02:40You can't take it.
02:41You can't take it.
02:42You can't take it.
02:43You can't take it.
02:50You can't take it.
02:51You can't take it.
02:52You can't take it.
02:53You can't take it.
02:54You can't take it.
02:55You can't take it.
02:56You can't take it.
02:57You can't take it.
02:58You can't take it.
02:59You can't take it.
03:00You can't take it.
03:01You can't take it.
03:02You can't take it.
03:03You can't take it.
03:04You can't take it.
03:05You can't take it.

03:07You can't take it.
03:08You can't take it.
03:09You can't take it.
03:10You can't take it.
03:11You can't take it.
03:12You can't take it.
03:13You can't take it.
03:14You can't take it.
03:15You can't take it.
03:16You can't take it.
03:18Northumbria's patch has a fine collection of castles.
03:22And today, a new battle for authority
03:25is raging in the halls of power at Eitel Lane station.
03:30So he's being given the keys to King's Landing.
03:32Clark, he's been promoted in the absence of the inspector and the sergeant,
03:36so he's taken the reins.
03:38He's got command and control,
03:39and he's just fitting into them old slippers nicely.
03:43Pretender to the throne, acting sergeant Andy Clark,
03:47is facing dissent in the ranks from PC Mark Crammond.
03:52Don't lose your hair now.
03:53It's not grey enough yet.
03:54We need to cause a little bit of carnage, and that'll be full grey.
03:57Yeah.
03:58As they say, a penalty spot on the back.
04:00Yeah, you'll be the silver fox by the end of the shift.
04:07I've got my dad's glasses on.
04:09I can see.
04:20Keeping their eyes peeled for crime,
04:22Mark's come equipped for any eventuality.
04:26I've just got my kit bag, and the bag gets to me.
04:29I've got my bag.
04:30I've got my bag.
04:31I've got my bag.
04:32I've got my bag.
04:33I've got my bag.
04:34I've got my bag.
04:35I've got my bag, and the bag, it's just got a bit of everything in it.
04:39For a little first aid kit, I've got some scissors,
04:43cable ties, got some cleaning cloths.
04:47I bought some double-sided tape yesterday, actually.
04:51As long as you've got a pen and paper, that's all that matters.
04:55Police emergency.
04:56There's been a very loud car derailing on the north side of the Prime River in Newburn.
05:01Right, look at somebody in bed, we're OK.
05:05We're near the unit, we're going to float round.
05:07We're going into the estates.
05:08We're getting calls about car mates.
05:10We've got vehicles derailing up and down now.
05:13Roger that.
05:14We've got a vehicle derailing up and down.
05:16We've got a vehicle derailing up and down.
05:18We've got a vehicle derailing up and down.
05:20We've got a vehicle derailing up and down now.
05:23Roger that.
05:26We'll make some progress to get across.
05:32There's been a number of reports from members of the public
05:35of a large group of car enthusiasts driving in an antisocial and dangerous manner.
05:40There'll be a small minority treating it as a racetrack when it's a public road.
05:45They're the people who tend to make mistakes and end up killing somebody,
05:48so it's really important that we take positive action when dealing with them.
05:56Come on, little Pete.
06:04We've been sighted straight away.
06:07Look at them all lined up, man.
06:14They obviously know it's a...
06:15Fuzz.
06:16Aye.
06:18Game over.
06:22949, we're down Newburn now.
06:24And it's busy.
06:25Skid marks all over the road.
06:26You've seen them on the road behind.
06:28That one's got no front wrench placed.
06:32Who's this? That one?
06:39Ooh.
06:49So we've got to the bottom of the road and we've heard some sort of high revs.
06:53As we've turned around, we've seen that car just accelerate
06:56very harshly at speed up the road,
06:59basically driving in an antisocial manner.
07:02Is he doubled back round? I can't even see him in the distance.
07:05Look at all these tracks.
07:10There he is, there.
07:14Well, I'm in.
07:19Yeah?
07:20What do you mean, yeah?
07:21Mate, you're driving like an idiot on this road.
07:23How?
07:24How?
07:25I've legit just pulled out, yeah.
07:27Went round the roundabout.
07:28Put my foot down a little bit.
07:29Are we on the wrong side of the road?
07:31Why? Cos I've just legit pulled in quickly to see if he wants a tug home.
07:35OK.
07:36You're not cutting the mustard with me.
07:38Get out the car for a sec.
07:39Come have a seat in the back of our car.
07:43Is it your vehicle?
07:44Yes, it is my vehicle.
07:45Is it your vehicle?
07:46Yes, it is my vehicle.
07:47Have you got your licence with you?
07:48Nope.
07:49This side.
07:50Other side.
07:53Stop swearing, cos that's your first warning.
07:57Mate, you're driving like an absolute lunatic.
07:59Look at all the trademarks on the road.
08:01Look at that car.
08:04Don't swear at me.
08:05Whoa, whoa, whoa.
08:06Mate, I've got anger problems, Devon.
08:08Don't start shouting and swearing at me
08:09and trying to walk away one bastard sitting in the car.
08:16THE DRIVER
08:24I once was a driver who sped.
08:29Who stupidly ran through a red.
08:31Hello.
08:34Swerved over the lane.
08:39Drove road users insane.
08:42Before crashing into a hedge ahead.
08:45Oh, my days.
08:46Oh, my God.
09:01At a car meet on the outskirts of Newcastle,
09:04Andy and Mark are dealing with an irate petrol head.
09:08Look at all the trademarks on the road.
09:10Look at that car.
09:11Don't swear at me.
09:13Whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:14Mate, I've got anger problems, Devon.
09:16Don't start shouting and swearing at me
09:18and trying to walk away one bastard sitting in the car.
09:27Andy, do not drive like a...
09:31You've accelerated hard to get to speed.
09:33Why do you need to do that?
09:34You're driving in an antisocial manner.
09:36We've been down here for 30 seconds
09:38and you're the first car to drive like an idiot.
09:40If you say so.
09:43Have you got any identifications?
09:45No.
09:46I'm in the back of the police car.
09:48I drove away like a...apparently.
09:50Well, there you go.
09:51Apparently.
09:52Admit it.
09:55Have you had any cocaine or cannabis recently?
09:57Not what I know of, no, unless I got spiked yesterday, but...
09:59That's unlikely, isn't it?
10:01I need you to swirl your tongue around your cheeks.
10:03My mouth's dry as hell.
10:04I don't care.
10:05Failure to provide me with a sample.
10:08Now you're interrupting me to listen to me when I'm speaking to you.
10:12I will give you one if you ask nicely.
10:15I'm not here to ask nicely.
10:16I'm here to give you a lawful order, and that lawful order is
10:18you're going to provide a sample of saliva,
10:20otherwise you'll be arrested.
10:21Arrest us.
10:22Is that a refusal?
10:23Not refusing.
10:24Right, well, lean forward and put your tongue out.
10:34Can I get out for a vapour now, because I'm getting very stressed?
10:36You're not having a vape while you're in the middle of a process for drug driving.
10:43Please!
10:45Do you provide a negative sample of saliva for drugs?
10:51I can tell you exactly what's on my record.
10:53I've got a 59.
10:54You've got a 59?
10:55Yeah.
10:56Active?
10:57No, well...
10:58If it's active, mate, that's your cargo by today.
11:00Are you going to let us speak or not?
11:02Because I was just speaking, that is really interrupting.
11:04OK, go on, then.
11:06He gave us a 59, but I didn't get any written paperwork with it.
11:09Doesn't matter.
11:10No, I spoke to the cop last time.
11:11I've got to get a piece of written work.
11:13Nothing came through the post or nothing.
11:14You're well aware of it?
11:15Well, no, because...
11:16I'm not aware because I spoke to a cop.
11:19Listen, you're aware of it because you've just told us about it?
11:22I am aware I've got it, yeah, but I don't know if it's verbal or if it's...
11:25It can be either.
11:27See, I don't know.
11:28This is why I asked the cop the last time.
11:30I know, but I appreciate you asking about it.
11:32I told you about it.
11:33You're still trying to argue about it?
11:35I'm not arguing about it.
11:36I'm just...
11:40I'm just going to reverse his car round the corner.
11:42No, you're not. You're not insured.
11:44What's that, Terry?
11:45You're not insured.
11:46I am aware the chief constable will not permit police to drive any vehicle
11:48for the purposes of the police search.
11:50I'm just asking.
11:52I'm going to go wild.
11:53You're welcome.
11:54The problem that you've got now is your car's going to get seized
11:57under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act.
11:59No, it's not, you can't take it.
12:00OK, then.
12:01No, because...
12:02Thanks for letting me know.
12:04It's all like a...
12:05Apparently.
12:09I'll give you the paperwork for the seizure of your vehicle.
12:11Am I allowed to get out or not?
12:13Yeah, jump out.
12:17This is that, is it?
12:18Come to pick them up?
12:21How much is this?
12:22Could have cost...
12:23Loads.
12:24Might be an ace.
12:25It's not...
12:26Simply not down to me.
12:28Is he gone, has he?
12:31He's going to get off his mother when he gets there.
12:36This is your second Section 59 warning, OK?
12:39Do you wish to sign that?
12:42That's fine.
12:46That's a reason why you probably didn't get your first one.
12:49Unfortunately, it's £192.
12:53Aye.
13:01BANG
13:11His attitude stinks.
13:12He's just really immature.
13:14He's got no regard for anybody else.
13:16He's disrespectful towards his parents, the police,
13:19the roads, people around him.
13:21As soon as he said that, that was...
13:24I've got a 59 warning.
13:26Keys.
13:32MUSIC
13:40The beautiful British summer.
13:44Right, best give the car a quick check over.
13:47A little flashy light.
13:49If all else fails, the car breaks down or something,
13:52just turn one of these on.
13:54Just put it on your head and just run to the job.
13:57And shout, Nino, Nino.
13:59At Eitel Lane station, PC Jamie Leslie stays ahead of the game
14:04with cop car tech at his fingertips.
14:09We've got EMPR stacks, we've got speed monitors,
14:12we've got radios, sat-navs,
14:14but for some reason, we still rely...
14:18..on the good old trusted...
14:21..1960s telephone handset.
14:25I remember watching Heartbeat as a kid and thinking they had these
14:28or they would have to pull up at one of the police boxes, wouldn't they,
14:32and ring for one of their colleagues to come.
14:34I don't know what they did back in the day
14:36when they had the car making off from them.
14:38It's a right, right, right.
14:40But we'll leave that there today, I think.
14:48As Jamie takes to his beat,
14:50another old-school tool is letting him down.
14:54Yeah, I must have a bit of a cold or something
14:56cos me cop has noses off a little bit.
14:58We're having a bit of a dry spell at the moment.
15:01Some cars that you look at are general dead ringers
15:05for having no insurance or document offences,
15:08but there's a lot of legit people out there.
15:12It's frustrating.
15:15It's still early in the day.
15:18It's just got to be the right place at the right time.
15:49If I can talk to you,
15:51there's one thing that's going on the wrong side of the road as well.
15:55Tango 10-50, have you put me down for that one?
15:59So, a member of the public's rang in,
16:01saying that they've sighted a potential drink driver.
16:04So we're just making our way into the area now,
16:06see if we can pick him up.
16:10More than that, we'll get this one stopped.
16:12He's had a skinful. It's very concerning to me.
16:19Jamie needs to act fast.
16:22Drink drivers cause around 300 deaths a year on Britain's roads.
16:31Nottinghamshire Police are chasing a drink driver with his foot down.
16:37At 80 miles per hour in a 40 zone,
16:40he rockets through Nottingham, on the wrong side of the road.
16:44After running a red light,
16:46cops surround the car,
16:48but the boozed up racer takes off.
16:54He hurtles through a roundabout
16:56and careers into a cul-de-sac,
17:01where his dangerous driving meets a dead end.
17:05At twice the drink drive limit,
17:07the man was found guilty of drink driving and dangerous driving.
17:11He was sentenced to one year in jail
17:14and banned from driving for three and a half years.
17:23He's absolutely mortal, he's driving.
17:26He's going to kill somebody.
17:30Back in Newcastle, Jamie and another patrol
17:33are racing to catch a suspected drink driver.
17:36More than that, we'll get this one stopped.
17:40He's had a skinful, it's very concerning to me.
17:46Got eyes on this vehicle now.
17:48He'll catch up a little bit.
17:54The other vehicle's in front of us now.
17:57Doing 26 and a 40.
18:02He'll be within a minute or two.
18:10Aye, he's a bit worse for wear, him, like, isn't he?
18:19Well, that's actually really hurt us, mate.
18:21Is it because of your watch?
18:23I can't point because obviously it's the way it is.
18:26Sorry, mate.
18:28Above where my thumb is now.
18:30Keep it straight like that.
18:32Where do I need to keep it, then?
18:34I'll take your watch off me and put it in your pocket.
18:37You're absolutely hammered, you.
18:39I've only had four drinks.
18:41You stink of drink, man.
18:43I've had a drink. All you need to do is take a test.
18:46I've got a licence, I've got insurance.
18:49Have a seat in there for us.
18:53Just take a seat there and watch yourself as you're stepping in.
19:02He looks it up. He's only had four drinks, he reckons.
19:05He stinks of drink.
19:07This'll be a canny blow, I think.
19:09This'll be about 100, I reckon.
19:17What did he blow?
19:19104.
19:21Can't it be getting behind the car like that, then?
19:24I do apologise, but I'm always honest and, like I said...
19:28The problem is, it's being honest,
19:30but all it takes is for you to hit somebody and kill them
19:33and you're going to jail for a long time.
19:35Have you got anything in your pockets you shouldn't have?
19:38No, you can keep that, man. You can keep that money.
19:42Why, you don't want to keep the money?
19:44I just thought...
19:46We're not keeping any of your property.
19:48We're just going to check what's in your pockets, etc,
19:51in case there's anything that shouldn't be there.
19:54Even though I'm insured and got my licence,
19:57what happens when you call them?
19:59We'll park it up somewhere.
20:01And?
20:02Well, you'll not have your licence much longer.
20:06But I'll lose my licence.
20:08No, aye. We can't just go like, oh, it's drink driving.
20:11Youse are the people who kill most people, man, on the roads.
20:15You're in that category now, mate.
20:31Oh!
20:39When I've got right behind the vehicle,
20:41obviously he's driving, he's got his stand up,
20:43he's moving across the road.
20:45Obviously when I've pulled him over, he's stopped,
20:47and then straightaway he's said that he has, like, four alcoholic drinks.
21:02SIREN BLARES
21:07He's blown 104 on the roadside breath test,
21:11which is just ridiculous.
21:13The legal limit's 35.
21:15Can't emphasise how dangerous it is.
21:17The amount of fatals we go to,
21:20which are linked with drinking, drug, driving, it's unbelievable.
21:25I think we've probably prevented something by getting behind him.
21:32SIREN BLARES
21:42Can I deal with a car that's got different tyres on each wheel?
21:45No.
21:47Have you got different tyres on each wheel?
21:49I've got Uni Royals on the front and Goodyears on the back.
21:54It's like going out on the street with one Adidas trainer and one Nike trainer.
21:58Well, that's if you put trainers on your hands, cos you'd need four.
22:03Ensuring they tread carefully in Newcastle.
22:06I feel like I'm going to get a puncture on the way home now.
22:09Andy and Mark are keeping tabs on unauthorised car meets.
22:14Keep an eye out for the next hour or so if it comes back north.
22:17Don't want to spoil their fun again.
22:20SIREN BLARES
22:27Yeah, if that's the case, we will head over.
22:34There's a chance he used me knee-nose.
22:39They've all migrated over to Washington
22:41and the calls have come in again saying it's carnage.
22:49SIREN BLARES
22:53My neck of the woods.
22:57Here they are.
23:10Have you even got a barbecue with these?
23:14A tiny play there's a tiny play to gain.
23:18So we'll sit around and be able to witness some issues
23:21and stop and deal with them.
23:28Can I be doing that?
23:30Ho-ho-ho-ho!
23:44Fancy a real-life game of Mario Kart?
23:47Then try driving on Britain's roads.
23:55Where road rage turns us into street fighters.
24:01And city centre parking is tougher than Tetris.
24:05SIREN BLARES
24:09But if player one gets it wrong, it's game over.
24:23Can I be doing that? Ho-ho-ho-ho!
24:27At an unauthorised car meet in Gateshead,
24:29Andy and Mark are after a white van burning rubber on a roundabout.
24:35Do you think he noticed us or what?
24:37I don't know if the van did.
24:43Is he going back round? Has he reset? No, he's come off.
24:50Strange going to a car meet in a van.
24:5560 through the 50.
25:00Let's get him in the Angel.
25:02SIREN BLARES
25:06To be fair, I'm happy to take it.
25:08Bye.
25:17Hello. Do you want to come and have a seat in my car?
25:19I want to show you something.
25:23Have you got your licence with you? Yeah.
25:26OK, let's come and have a seat.
25:29Where are you heading to? Just round the corner.
25:36Right, this is video of somebody decides they want to come
25:40drifting round the roundabout, leaving their tyre tracks.
25:43Is there any reason why you were driving in that manner?
25:46No. It was just daft.
25:48Daft. What do you think that looks like?
25:50It doesn't look great.
25:54On top of that as well, right,
25:56why were you driving at 60mph in the 50s on the start of the A1
26:00in the roadworks?
26:02Was I doing 60? Yeah.
26:04The only time you slowed down was when you saw the average speed camera.
26:07Is that not the start of the 50?
26:09No, the 50 start is where it has a big sign that says 50.
26:12I've then just seen you at a car meet, which is an antisocial meet,
26:15so you've kind of got three things there.
26:17If we see somebody doing one, we give them a yellow card,
26:20it's called a Section 59 warning.
26:22If you get two of those, OK, the van gets seized.
26:25Do you think it would be unfair if we seized that vehicle from you?
26:28Probably not, no.
26:35Clearly you see you're a little bit shaken and quiet,
26:38but what's amazing is that people can be shaken and quiet
26:41and as soon as they drive off, they're like,
26:43oh, whatever, and do what they want.
26:45I think I was just in a daft mood.
26:47I know, but, mate, what happens in six weeks' time if you're in a daft mood?
26:50I'm not going to go to any more car meets.
26:52To be fair, that one, I'm not going to go.
26:58As we pulled up, I would have been hell-bent,
27:00that van's come with us and it's not been driven any further.
27:03But having spoken to you, you seem quite reasonable and sensible,
27:06but then I've got the devil on my shoulder seeing what happens
27:09if he drives off here and clatters someone. Yeah.
27:14I've never actually done this before, ever, if you're on my shoes.
27:18Would you give yourself another opportunity to drive off
27:21or would you seize the vehicle and make one of your folks come and collect you?
27:25I think I'd give us another chance.
27:28You've seen there how many people are lying on the streets.
27:32You lose control of your car and you've just killed somebody.
27:35When you've been to multiple fatal collisions like we have,
27:39seen the dead bodies and then gone and delivered the message to the family,
27:43it's not pleasant.
27:45We have to live with the stuff that we deliver and say, you know,
27:48and we want to prevent that.
27:51So, today,
27:54I think you're going to be lucky.
27:58You are going to be issued a warrant under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act, OK?
28:02If you drive in that manner, in any antisocial or careless manner,
28:06in any vehicle, you're going to be seized.
28:08Just cut it out. How old are you?
28:10I'm 20.
28:11You need to mature and grow.
28:13OK. Do you want to hop out?
28:16Apologies, sir.
28:25CAR DOOR SLAMS
28:37I'm sure that he's had the shock of his life
28:40and he's acknowledged his wrongdoings,
28:43so he's been given a warning rather than his vehicle seized.
28:46He's now on our radar.
28:55CAR DOOR SLAMS
29:02Even in a six-foot, I'm still struggling.
29:07And it's just a case of power on and then testing it.
29:15And I have had to use it once.
29:17100% accuracy so far, so we'll see how that goes.
29:22I'm going to use it tonight and completely miss.
29:27At Follingsby Nick, PC Tommy Wade is all charged up
29:31for another 12-hour shift on the roads of Sunderland.
29:44Tommy's been picking off the bad guys for 17 years.
29:49But it won't just be criminals getting under his skin today.
29:53I can feel the spot warming.
29:55It's one of them ones, you can't see it,
29:57but it irritates the life out of you,
29:59but there's nothing you can do about it.
30:01It's a fair thing to kill them.
30:03Thankfully, I don't get many spots, but when I do...
30:10..then you look like you've picked your nose, other people.
30:19HEARTBEAT THUMPING
30:29So we've got a possible...
30:31Well, the driver's just hit the car.
30:34HEARTBEAT THUMPING
30:45There it is.
30:48Would you mind just running one through?
30:50That's at the car for a possible disqual driver.
30:53978, yeah, looks like a potentially disqual driver.
30:56Showing no insurance at the minute.
31:04If there's something the police know about a car,
31:07they'll act right for it.
31:09You're the only human, you're never going to spot everything that's going on.
31:12So that little bit of help is massive.
31:17If it is a disqual driver, I want him off the road.
31:20Driving while disqualified can land you in jail.
31:24But reckless drivers will take that chance behind the wheel.
31:34A disqualified driver in a stolen car is on a collision course
31:38through the streets of Bolton, racing the wrong way at a junction
31:42as he makes off from Greater Manchester Police.
31:48Hitting speeds in excess of 70 miles an hour,
31:52he terrorises traffic on the high street.
31:58From above, the police chopper keeps patrols on the ground
32:02in the chase.
32:07Cornered, the suspect flees on foot to a nearby house,
32:11where cops catch him naked in the bath.
32:16He was found guilty of dangerous driving,
32:18driving while disqualified and handling stolen goods.
32:22He was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
32:26If it is a disqual driver, I want him off the road.
32:30On the A1 near Washington, Tommy's tailing a suspected banned driver.
32:37Some parking vehicles coming up.
32:49Let's see what he's got to say.
32:52Let's see what he's got to say.
33:02Hello, mate.
33:03Sorry to disturb you.
33:04This car's coming back to a disqualified driver.
33:06Is that yourself?
33:08Tommy, will you just come and take a seat in my car, please?
33:12Tommy, you're safe, mate, all right?
33:15If you're all right, just take a seat in the back, mate, all right?
33:18Oh, yeah.
33:22Are you in, pal?
33:23Yeah.
33:31So when you've gone past our car...
33:33Yeah, triggered.
33:34Triggered.
33:35When were you disqualified?
33:36February.
33:37February.
33:38What was that for, mate?
33:39Drink driving.
33:40Drink driving.
33:43Wait, what's the score with the car, mate?
33:45It took for sale.
33:46I was driving it back to my mother's like it hasn't been moved in months,
33:49and the insurance and all that, and then I put it up for sale.
33:53I appreciate that you've got reasons for it.
33:55It doesn't change the fact you're being banned.
33:58Because you're disqualified and there's no insurance,
34:00we've got to seize the vehicle.
34:05What happens if I just leave the vehicle?
34:07No, as far as I'm aware, they'll either sell or crush it.
34:10Don't know how much it is.
34:11It's £200, maybe, for a collection, but...
34:14I suppose if you're going to sell it, then you'll make more.
34:19I need to go out and get my partner home, like.
34:21I can see if my mate's nearby.
34:23You know, you wouldn't be free to do us a favour, mate,
34:25and just pick someone up just to drop them off.
34:28Yes, mate.
34:36Right, if you want to pop on, mate, and I'll grab that key off you.
34:45It's quite a green car you've got, actually, isn't it?
34:47It's in good nick, though, isn't it? 12-year-old.
34:49Have you seen the state of mine?
34:51That's kids for you.
34:57Not here to be nasty to people, man.
35:04Sounds like she'd go and tell you off more than anyone else,
35:06will you, I find?
35:09Oh, hello, mate.
35:11Hello, mate.
35:12Right, this fine chap's going to get you home.
35:14Spot on.
35:17So, the car gets uplifted, taken to the impound.
35:21The court will then decide what punishment he's going to get.
35:27Good little wind.
35:39I was trying to see who was moving it to the register.
35:41I'm not sure if he was selling a car, that would make much difference,
35:44but now he's going to be massively out of pocket
35:47as a result of us uplifting it.
35:50He should have sold it without driving it.
36:01Here's Newino when the radio goes quiet
36:03and, you know, there's not much on the road.
36:06It's sometimes important to put a bit of music on.
36:11Two hours into the shift
36:13and Jamie's already got his first confession.
36:18I really enjoy listening to The Greatest Showman.
36:21More embarrassing than that,
36:23I really like Cats, the musical,
36:26but I haven't quite found the courage to play that at work yet.
36:30Magical Mr Mistoffelees.
36:32I do an amazing rendition of it,
36:35but I'm not prepared to go global with that just yet.
36:41THE GREATEST SHOWMAN
37:00Tango 10-58, I'm troubling.
37:05Stolen motor vehicle was stolen yesterday.
37:08It's just been sated by cameras.
37:13Yeah, I'm behind that.
37:19With another patrol on the van's tail, Jamie races with backup.
37:24It's not in pursuit just yet, but probably will eventually.
37:32Awful driving conditions.
37:34Got to be on your ear game sometimes with these.
37:39Appears to be pulling over.
37:48Jump out for us, mate.
37:50You're under arrest on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle.
37:57Yes, I'm on scene.
38:08The puzzle of bad driving can leave us scratching our heads.
38:17There's no need to be cryptic...
38:22..when choosing a crossword.
38:26Can you spot the difference...
38:32..between an open road and a blocked one?
38:35..which real life has a perception.
38:37And joining the dots isn't always a pretty picture.
38:50Yeah, I'm behind that. Stolen Tango.
38:53Seriously, one occupant.
38:56In West Newcastle, Jamie's backing up another officer
39:00who has a suspected van thief in cuffs.
39:03You're under arrest on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle.
39:07Jump in the back of the car for us, mate.
39:14Harry?
39:17He looks a bit surprised. Does he? I wonder if that crap is.
39:26You did?
39:29Where's the phone call to the police?
39:34Because I go to, you know, the police station, I give report.
39:38Oh, right.
39:42Tango 1058, what was the circumstances of the theft?
39:55Yeah, received. We're just trying to get to the bottom of it now.
39:59So he's taken another van, but he's taken tools out of this one?
40:02Yeah, from this one.
40:04What's the registration of the other van?
40:06The registration is here.
40:09So that's stolen? Yeah.
40:12You haven't got it back yet?
40:16So this chap owns two vans.
40:19He's essentially reported one of them getting broken into
40:22and tools getting stolen out of them.
40:24And then the other one being stolen.
40:27The report sounds a little bit cagey, to be fair,
40:30and I'm a little bit hesitant
40:32about whether the truth kind of lies somewhere in between.
40:38You've got a driver's licence?
40:40I own this home.
40:42Where do you live?
40:43Down.
40:46Oh.
40:50Are you in charge of this?
40:53Are you insured on that?
40:54Yeah, yeah. In your name?
40:56Yeah.
40:58What's your full name?
41:01My English is not good, but...
41:03Well, can you not just tell us, cos you're speaking all right?
41:07H-S. H-S.
41:10M. H-S-M.
41:13Yeah.
41:15A.
41:17How A? You must know your name.
41:19Right, was that you?
41:21That's your name?
41:23This is my new name.
41:27What do you mean, new name?
41:29Listen, right, right, you're going to get locked up?
41:32Yeah.
41:33What's your proper details?
41:34You've got two different names going on here.
41:36If you give me interpreter, I will call...
41:39Well...
41:40My English is not...
41:42Well, you're speaking perfectly good English to me.
41:44But I don't understand your English.
41:47Well, you understood what I said there, didn't you?
41:52Do you know the lad whose van this is?
41:55Ah, right, aye.
41:56What's he called?
42:03Ah, right, that makes perfect sense.
42:09You gave your brother's name to them officers, did you?
42:13Yeah.
42:14That's not your name? That's your brother's name?
42:17Aye.
42:18Because you're trying to deceive us?
42:20You're trying to deceive the police?
42:35Yes, yes, that's all received.
42:37Right, you haven't got a driving licence?
42:39No.
42:40You?
42:41You've lied, you've tried to be deceitful.
42:43That's exactly why you've done it,
42:45because we know that you try to provide all the time
42:47your brother's driving licence.
42:49We're the policemen, we're clever.
42:55Your van is getting seized?
42:57Here, my van.
42:59Right.
43:00Right, not today then.
43:02Not if you can take the tools out.
43:04You're going to get a canny fine,
43:06and you're going to have to pay for that to get recovered.
43:08It's going to be expensive for you.
43:14There's your mobile phone back.
43:16Next time, don't lie to the police.
43:18We thought this was the stolen van.
43:20That's why you've been stopped initially.
43:22Then when we've got here, you've lied to us.
43:24How am I supposed to believe that the report
43:26about your other stolen van is true?
43:49A bit of a strange one, that, really.
43:51His major downfall was the place where he's supposed to be doing work,
43:55and the guys came out and said,
43:57oh, yes, he's brought that such and such,
43:59which was the details that he initially gave us.
44:01So, obviously, he tried to pull the wool over our eyes a bit there
44:04by providing false details.
44:06And he'd have to get up pretty early in the morning
44:09to get away with that.
44:12If you have any dashcam clips you think could feature
44:15in the next series of Motorway Cops,
44:17Catching Britain's Speeders,
44:19send them, along with your contact details,
44:21to contact us at purpleproductions.co.uk.
44:41Thanks for watching.
