00:00:00It's a fairly straight path in.
00:00:09The chances are it doesn't look like it's collided with anything else.
00:00:12Sergeant Dave Roberts is in Ashington at a suspiciously quiet crash scene.
00:00:18There's no me with the vehicle.
00:00:19The cynical of me says that somebody's either fallen asleep at the wheel or is drunk,
00:00:23crashed the car, panicked and ran.
00:00:25The non-cynical side of me is somebody's had a bit of an accident, has panicked and got a lift home.
00:00:31But either way, they're not here.
00:00:34And the fact that somebody's left the scene of an accident, left the car in a potentially dangerous position,
00:00:38that's a risk to everybody else.
00:00:40You don't just get to crash cars and run away.
00:00:46Bad drivers, beware.
00:00:48If the cops don't catch you, dashcam will.
00:00:52With 25,000 traffic convictions a year, down to your cameras,
00:00:58Britain's deadliest drivers
00:00:59have nowhere left to hide.
00:01:04Here we go.
00:01:07And on the front line
00:01:08It's conduct.
00:01:10are our motorway cops.
00:01:12Are we going?
00:01:13Why, aye. Of course we're gunning.
00:01:15We join Northumbria police.
00:01:17You're not getting a selfie with us, no?
00:01:19I've just took your car off you.
00:01:20As they chase down dangerous drivers.
00:01:23Brother, mate, you're bladded.
00:01:25You've had a drink, haven't you?
00:01:26I've had two.
00:01:27And get the worst offenders.
00:01:28Did he do what I've just done with Stu Kennedy?
00:01:31But I nearly got away.
00:01:32Nearly got away, but you didn't.
00:01:34Off our roads.
00:01:36Do you know how they're good?
00:01:37Yeah.
00:01:38Anything I do see may be given in evidence, Mr. Officer.
00:01:42Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel.
00:01:47It's dashcam.
00:01:48Have you seen the dashcam footage?
00:01:49It's vital evidence.
00:01:51So, you're dressed, eh?
00:01:52And proof
00:01:53that Britain's dumbest drivers
00:01:55What you've done?
00:01:57are a law unto themselves.
00:02:00Police 1, criminal 0.
00:02:08Tonight.
00:02:10Here we go.
00:02:11A jaw-dropping chase
00:02:13to catch a car thief.
00:02:14High risk.
00:02:15High risk.
00:02:15I've been pulled over by the police here.
00:02:23Am I insured on your insurance?
00:02:25Oh, you're talking.
00:02:26An uninsured driver gets a lesson in the law.
00:02:29I am seizing the vehicle
00:02:30under section 165 of the road traffic act.
00:02:33He said I wasn't allowed to give you the key.
00:02:34That would be then obstructing me
00:02:36and you'll get locked up.
00:02:38I don't even know that he's been driving it.
00:02:40And an imposing partner
00:02:41tells Porky's.
00:02:43He's come to pick you up, hasn't he?
00:02:44No, I drove it to you this morning.
00:02:46He has been driving.
00:02:46I've just followed him in.
00:02:48I'm driving.
00:02:49Don't lie to the police.
00:02:50First job of the day,
00:03:02make sure I've got all my kit.
00:03:03We don't really travel light
00:03:05and I'm always amazed
00:03:06at how heavy my bag is.
00:03:08But everything that we take
00:03:09for just in case,
00:03:11got my traffic folder,
00:03:13which has got like,
00:03:14you know, the important paperwork in there
00:03:15that we need for like seasoned vehicles.
00:03:17What else have I got in here?
00:03:18A clipboard because
00:03:19you always look like
00:03:20you know what you're doing
00:03:21if you're walking around
00:03:22with a clipboard under your arm.
00:03:23It looks like I'm looking busy
00:03:24so I'm less likely to get given
00:03:26any jobs by my sergeant.
00:03:27So that's me all packed.
00:03:29We're good to go for 12 hours.
00:03:30Next job is just
00:03:31slogging it into the car.
00:03:33It's a shame we haven't got
00:03:34baggage handlers here, isn't it?
00:03:35Like take our kit over
00:03:36and load it up in the police car for us.
00:03:38But no, that's just a dream.
00:03:40I can't see supervision signing that one off
00:03:42so I'll just carry it to the car instead.
00:03:45That's that.
00:03:48At Follingsby Police Station
00:03:50in Washington,
00:03:51PC Martin Anderson
00:03:52is getting reacquainted
00:03:54with an old friend.
00:03:56So we're back in Tango 16.
00:03:59Basically this was my allocated car
00:04:00since the time I transferred
00:04:01into Northumbria.
00:04:03It's a brilliant car.
00:04:05So yeah, we're back together.
00:04:08It's a bit like
00:04:09when you put like
00:04:09an old pair of
00:04:10comfortable slippers on
00:04:12or an old comfy sofa.
00:04:24It's quite fortunate today
00:04:25in that we've got
00:04:26the full team in
00:04:27to see what the day produces.
00:04:28We've got a clone vehicle
00:04:36in the Ryup area
00:04:37at the moment.
00:04:38It's red to 1-4.
00:04:40That clone just hit
00:04:41southbound A19.
00:04:44Yeah, I'm southbound A19 now
00:04:46just passing the 690.
00:04:47We've got a clone vehicle.
00:04:53It's a silver
00:04:54Ford C-Max.
00:04:57It's just activated
00:04:58a camera a bit further south
00:04:59to where we are.
00:05:00So we're just trying
00:05:01to see if we can see it.
00:05:04We want to get this stopped
00:05:05because it's potentially
00:05:07disguised in a stolen vehicle
00:05:08or it's going to be,
00:05:10you know,
00:05:11committing crimes
00:05:11in the area.
00:05:12Get out of the way.
00:05:17Come on.
00:05:22We'll be there, it's there.
00:05:24It's just ahead of us.
00:05:29Yeah, we've got it.
00:05:33461 urgent.
00:05:33Behind that vehicle now.
00:05:36It's just come off
00:05:37for Merton.
00:05:38I'll be entirely trained
00:05:39in a super vehicle
00:05:40requesting authority
00:05:41for pursuit
00:05:42if the vehicle
00:05:42does make off.
00:05:44Request other T-PAC units,
00:05:45air support and dogs.
00:05:47Yeah, just air support
00:05:48or aware.
00:05:51Yeah, impact is offside.
00:05:54Free suit airborne.
00:05:56LB occupant is unknown.
00:05:58We're low risk.
00:05:59Speed 5-0.
00:06:00How far out
00:06:01to the T-PAC cars?
00:06:03We don't want to
00:06:03tell me and I need
00:06:04to get ahead.
00:06:06Yeah, mate.
00:06:06First exit.
00:06:07182 to 1, see him.
00:06:10So we're just waiting
00:06:11for the other T-PAC cars
00:06:12to catch up
00:06:12at the minute
00:06:13it hasn't reacted to us
00:06:14which is good.
00:06:15He's in his mirrors
00:06:16quite a bit
00:06:17so he's obviously
00:06:17aware of us.
00:06:18I want to try
00:06:19and get the other T-PAC cars
00:06:20or maybe there's a stinger
00:06:20ahead of it.
00:06:22Still no reaction
00:06:24to my presence.
00:06:26We're going to be
00:06:26temporarily held
00:06:27by a red ADS.
00:06:30Here we go.
00:06:35I'll pay you
00:06:35this vehicle is now
00:06:36free a little stop.
00:06:37Now pursuit,
00:06:38now pursuit.
00:06:38Bad drivers make it
00:06:53their business
00:06:53to monopolize
00:06:54the roads.
00:06:56Oh my
00:06:57f***ing God.
00:06:58With hostile
00:06:59takeovers
00:07:00and squeezing
00:07:03the competition.
00:07:04But when stocks
00:07:07hit red
00:07:08expect
00:07:11a market
00:07:12crash.
00:07:22Here we go.
00:07:23I'll pay you
00:07:27this vehicle is now
00:07:28free a little stop.
00:07:29Now pursuit,
00:07:30now pursuit.
00:07:31In County Durham
00:07:32a driver on cloned plates
00:07:34is making off
00:07:35from Martin.
00:07:36We are
00:07:37approaching a roundabout.
00:07:40Yeah he's went
00:07:41wrong side
00:07:42of the roundabout.
00:07:46I haven't followed.
00:07:47We're just
00:07:48catching back up to him.
00:07:49Stand by.
00:07:50We're coming in
00:07:50along with Port
00:07:51and try getting him.
00:07:52We want to
00:07:53we're not far off.
00:07:54Three, two's
00:07:55four and a half
00:07:55with itself.
00:07:58We're Dean Road.
00:07:59General direction,
00:08:01Martin.
00:08:01We're just coming
00:08:02into Don'tley, Dale.
00:08:06Yes, yes.
00:08:06I'll get a sting
00:08:07sight at the port.
00:08:09Speed 5-0.
00:08:10We're coming up
00:08:11towards the A-19.
00:08:12We're going to try
00:08:12and feed him
00:08:13towards the A-19.
00:08:14High risk
00:08:15towards the red A-D-S.
00:08:19Currently wrong
00:08:20side of the road.
00:08:21Stand by.
00:08:22Yeah, I'll be.
00:08:28The Durham cars
00:08:28took over.
00:08:29I'm going to follow
00:08:30behind them
00:08:30as another
00:08:31tactical unit.
00:08:33He's going to be
00:08:33A-19 northbound.
00:08:36I passed 3-2.
00:08:37We've got it
00:08:38in the visual now.
00:08:39Got it high risk.
00:08:40We went into
00:08:41road work.
00:08:41Took out a couple of
00:08:42cones.
00:08:44A-10-18
00:08:46within the road works.
00:08:49While I'm just
00:08:50about behind him.
00:08:55I think we need to go
00:08:56for tactical conduct
00:08:57if the opportunity
00:08:57arises.
00:08:58We've got it.
00:09:06We've got it.
00:09:07We've got it.
00:09:07We've got it.
00:09:08We're in the back
00:09:08now, leave.
00:09:09The car's got a warning light on it, 461-hour cars went into limbo, weird game over, I think.
00:09:39Good luck, fellas, my transmission's too hot, I'm just gonna have to, I can only go as fast as 30 miles an hour, I'm just limping it to the general area.
00:09:46Absolutely gutted.
00:09:47Father, can you get anything around, please?
00:09:49I'm just looking for somewhere suitable.
00:09:59So left, left, left, back towards the A183 Chester Road.
00:10:09And at that junction, it's a left, left, left of the Hilton Road.
00:10:23Stinger site set up on riot road, if we can get him along there.
00:10:25He's taking a back lane, he's gonna come out in front of you, 917.
00:10:31I'm out in front of you, 917.
00:10:33917, I'm no PC.
00:10:39It's coming to medium risk, 60, westbound Hilton Road.
00:10:42Martin's out of the pursuit, but PC Tommy Wade has taken up the chase.
00:10:47Tommy's behind it now.
00:10:49The highest into the oncoming lane, I think two vehicles.
00:10:55Leader 2743, we're in support of the PC, two cars.
00:11:02There'll be technical conduct, technical conduct.
00:11:04Tommy's crashed into it.
00:11:07Tommy, it's been technical conduct, it's so nice to carry on.
00:11:10Vehicle's still mobile, still A183 towards the city centre.
00:11:15Tommy's just made technical conduct with it, but it's still going.
00:11:19So, it just shows the intent of this car.
00:11:24It's going to come out at that junction in front of you now.
00:11:36Tactical contact.
00:11:37Tactical contact at the bottom of riot road.
00:11:39Officer needs assistance.
00:11:40The vehicle's currently stopped.
00:11:42Driver's out and down.
00:11:45Yes, we've got him.
00:11:47Four Tango units start with this vehicle.
00:11:50Driver is detained.
00:11:55Oh, bit of excitement, eh?
00:11:56Can you just give us the details of this motor vehicle, please?
00:12:13Yeah.
00:12:14Jordan's using lane.
00:12:15I'll pop the details on the log.
00:12:17Lovely, thank you.
00:12:19All right, mate?
00:12:20Hi, hi.
00:12:21Didn't he do what I've just done since Stu Kennedy?
00:12:23But I nearly got away.
00:12:25Nearly got away, but you didn't?
00:12:26Nah, I didn't.
00:12:27Yeah, we always get you in the end.
00:12:28We always get you in the end.
00:12:29One of them things, eh?
00:12:40Naughty that, mind?
00:12:41F***ing kind of thing.
00:12:42Well, why'd you do it, then?
00:12:43Well, I wanted to get away, obviously.
00:12:45And nearly, I didn't do anything at any...
00:12:47Hats off today.
00:12:48You've done a good job, didn't I?
00:12:50That escalated quickly, didn't it?
00:12:51Nothing short of dangerous and reckless driving in order to get away from the police.
00:13:19It's a total blessing and a little bit of a miracle that no one's been injured.
00:13:24You know, I've been involved in quite a few pursuits, and that's probably up there, like,
00:13:29with one of the naughtiest ones, I would say.
00:13:31Thankfully, we've had a lot of resources to throw at it.
00:13:34And, you know, it's very, very satisfying knowing that he is now in custody.
00:13:39You going out, mate?
00:13:40I am.
00:13:41Do you want to tidy yourself up?
00:13:42I think that's your brush, isn't it?
00:13:43PC Andy Clarke is making a clean sweep of the office.
00:13:44Give you a tie-up, get rid of the druff.
00:13:45Thank you, mate.
00:13:46And the beard.
00:13:47Sort of matches my crown.

00:16:59Look up the car.
00:17:04Where's that money from then?
00:17:06Universal credit.
00:17:09Have you got a driving licence?
00:17:11No.
00:17:12Right.
00:17:13Obviously the vehicle gets seized for that.
00:17:15Why does he have to get seized?
00:17:17Because he hasn't got a licence or insurance.
00:17:18He's not been driving it.
00:17:19He has been driving.
00:17:20I've just followed him in.

00:18:53By rights.
00:18:54I could do the same for you.
00:18:56I've been inside.
00:18:57I don't know what's been going on.
00:18:59I don't even know that he's been driving it.
00:19:01Well, he's coming to pick you up, hasn't he?
00:19:02No, I drove it here this morning.
00:19:05You're going to start playing funny buggers with us?
00:19:07I'm not playing funny.
00:19:08I'll tell you now, you've allowed someone without a licence or insurance to drive your
00:19:11car, regardless of whether you didn't know what's going on because you're inside.
00:19:14How's he got access to the keys?
00:19:16And how do you know he was coming to pick you up at the corner?
00:19:18It's a simple question, isn't it?
00:19:23You kind of...
00:19:24Are you recording me?
00:19:25I'm not going to, unless you want to carry on and play funny buggers with us, because
00:19:28you're talking about he hasn't driven this and he hasn't driven that.
00:19:30But you need to remember, not only have we got all these millions of cameras in here,
00:19:34I'm a police officer with eyes, and I've followed them all the way from Norham Road.
00:19:38Okay?
00:19:39Don't lie to the police.
00:19:40Right?
00:19:41I'm going to see if this is negative or positive.
00:19:45Negative.
00:19:46100% correct.
00:19:47100%.
00:19:48Right?
00:19:49Didn't drink audio drugs.
00:19:50Right.
00:19:51You're going to be reported for driving a motor vehicle on a road with no insurance and
00:19:52driving otherwise in accordance with your driving licence.
00:19:53Yep.
00:19:54I'm going to come round and take the cuffs off you.
00:19:55Two minutes, you'll be on your way.

00:20:20thanks there you go take care
00:20:28there's another one cleaned up
00:20:32she was trying to obviously fib to protect her boyfriend but it's really important to get
00:20:43uninsured and licensed people off the road because they're not capable of driving to a standard where
00:20:48they should be on the roads which as a result of that they have a collision they're uninsured how
00:20:54are they going to be able to afford to get the car repaired replaced we end up paying on their behalf
00:21:00with our premiums increasing so it's important that we stop these people and get them prosecuted
00:21:12oh starting a night shift when it's like this well after half eight now and it's still as if it's
00:21:23daytime pc martin anderson is hoping for some light duties tonight it just makes you feel totally
00:21:30different about like you're on nights doesn't it you would think that it's the first time to ever

00:21:51just on the lookout for a silver superb skoda well it's activated one of our ampr cameras it's linked
00:21:57to organized crime there seems to be a lot of these vehicles kicking about the local area a lot of
00:22:04them are linked cannabis scrolls there's usually always something when you get these cars stopped
00:22:13should have been just ahead of us but it's sort of like chasing shadows a little bit
00:22:27it's just activating again it's just ahead of us
00:22:41i don't want to knock the lights on just yet so i don't want it to be spooked
00:22:44i think that's it just up there there it is

00:23:18as they step on the gas
00:23:23pushing their new order
00:23:24leaving the rest of us to roll with it
00:23:37it's just ahead of us
00:23:39i don't want to knock the lights on just yet so i don't want it to be spooked
00:23:43in sunderland martin is on the tail of a car linked to organized crime
00:23:48so the bizarre thing here is that he's done a what's going to be a loop
00:23:55was like to sort of test to see if we are following which we are
00:24:09so
00:24:20do you want to just turn the engine off for me please

00:24:54and if you write your date of birth as well please
00:24:56okay
00:25:03tango 461 to help you what i've got the details of this driver if i can run them through please
00:25:13what's all the driving license have you got i have the albanian license an albanian one
00:25:17how long you've been in the uk for four years have you never changed it to an english
00:25:22i know by the time waiting for the visa i have the application for two years so you don't have
00:25:28any uk license you're still driving on an international one no right okay
00:25:33sorry tango 461 go ahead nothing else done or anything for him i've got him down as non-license
00:25:41holder yeah received right i'm reporting you for the offensive driving with no uk driving license
00:25:48and also for driving on a road with no insurance so you're going to be losing the car tonight that's
00:25:53going to get seized
00:25:56the last thing is before you go i'm going to be searching the vehicle under section 23 of the
00:26:00misuse of drugs act because through investigation we're aware that this vehicle is linked to organized
00:26:06crime okay is there anything in the car right i can't smell anything i can't smell cannabis but
00:26:22sometimes there's like uh bags of like plant food and things like that
00:26:28so like things like this this fertilizer like a grow bag
00:26:39but it probably is a good idea what it's for but it's not illegal to have a grow bag in your car
00:26:45you might just have green fingers but given that the car is linked to organized crime
00:26:50in the production of cannabis and in the car is a pro bag that sort of strengthens
00:26:55the link to this vehicle to potentially organize crime
00:27:01right happy
00:27:06you're free to go just out of interest what's the uh what's the grow bag what's the
00:27:11compost in the boot for sorry the compost i'll show you
00:27:15i don't know maybe for the for the house for the house for growing things
00:27:33so the car's going to come with us that's how you get the car back you'll keep an eye on your post
00:27:37because you'll get something through the post um and you'll have to go a new bag of soil for your plants
00:27:43for your tomatoes
00:27:54i mean he's denied any knowledge of the soil being there claims it's his mate's car
00:28:17and that it's for some sort of some plant in the house or something like that he could be telling
00:28:23the truth but he's a repotting exercise is going to have to be on hold until he gets a new bag of compost
00:28:31whatever it is that he's reporting who knows
00:28:33the motorway cops never run on empty as you can see we've got a nice bit of chocolate fudge cake
00:28:53which was kindly donated i've might have had two of these already not such a fan of these ones
00:28:59pc jamie leslie will have to share the goodies as he won't be riding solo today
00:29:08the day we've got moya on an attachment from area command you know how i remember that name
00:29:14because i write it on my hand so it's moya and it rhymes with soya but even that's probably a
00:29:20far stretch for us so i've decided to call her mo been in what four years and i've never had a nickname
00:29:25so it's gonna stick as jamie heads out on his first patrol with pc moya cullen
00:29:40he's keen to show her how everything works
00:29:43which area command do you usually work in gateshead all right so are you just on attachment they came here
00:30:07see if you like it really i just wanted to come and brush up on my basic traffic offences that
00:30:13i would deal with when i'm on response and to be honest just nice getting out okay
00:30:19not having to go and deal with domestics yeah it's a different environment slightly cleaner car
00:30:25oh yeah much cleaner car if you want to see a worse car than area command cars go and have a look at a dog
00:30:32handlers car they are rough so just had an activation up for a black bmw
00:30:55yeah that's been reported in is smelling strongly of cannabis so we'll see if we can catch up with it
00:31:03they're heading more in towards town yeah you get up quite quick
00:31:11a lot of the fields i've dealt with the drivers are impaired through somewhere it's quite important
00:31:17we're trying to get a hold of them particularly with these weather conditions where your driving
00:31:22standards might slip anyway
00:31:26drivers under the influence on wet roads can be deadly
00:31:35on the rainy a1 a driver high on drugs performs a dangerous undertake in heavy traffic
00:31:43and then refuses to stop the jamie and moya's fellow northumbria cops
00:31:46sparking a high-speed chase between newcastle and gateshead with the driver hitting speeds of over 120 miles per hour
00:31:56he leaves the dual carriageway still going at 70 in a 30 zone
00:32:03the suspect abandons his car to crash into a gate and makes a run for it but is quickly caught by the cops
00:32:10he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving driving without a license driving without insurance failing to stop
00:32:18and possession of cannabis and to mazapan he was jailed for nine months and given an 18-month driving ban
00:32:25they're heading more into waterstown yeah he got him quite quick

00:38:47i just want to make sure it's not enough
00:38:54all right guess where it was
00:39:00now oh that was lucky we see just drive sensibly it doesn't fall off man
00:39:10well heart attack inverted let's get out there
00:39:17today we're going to have a look at south shields now just see what's happening
00:39:25see what's we are in its head
00:39:34but i hit on a uh a bmw here it's got a mark at us here i might be driven with no license
00:39:42it's heading north on the n18 i just want to try and position myself so i can get a good look at
00:39:47what's coming up the n18
00:40:01at least if i sit up here there's a chance you might be heading north
00:40:07please use bmw
00:40:12there it is
00:40:34dodgy drivers are making a splash
00:40:36on britain's roads
00:40:41diving head first into trouble
00:40:45and swimming against the tide
00:40:49one wrong stroke
00:40:51and you could end up completely out of your depth
00:40:55bc-series bmw
00:41:06there it is
00:41:13on the a19 tommy's clocked a car with a possible illegal driver behind the wheel
00:41:18well we've potentially got someone here with no license
00:41:24driving a motor vehicle on a main arterial route which is obviously a risk
00:41:29that looks like it's up there
00:41:39try and get it stopped
00:41:41just stop on there
00:41:54nice
00:41:55nice
00:42:06oh my goodness it's still going to stop on the inning right
00:42:13when again i just pull off
00:42:14hello me would you do a favor yeah there's a little stopping area just ahead of you are you ready just
00:42:23pull in there yeah great thank you
00:42:32right
00:42:35definitely best not to just stop on the a19
00:42:39hopefully he's understood what i said and just nope
00:42:46excellent yeah oh dear me
00:42:54let's see if i can just get alongside
00:43:01if you just follow me around the roundabout and just stop behind us yeah yeah yeah
00:43:08the car when it's been coming up the um a19 okay it's registered to say that the person
00:43:38driving may not hold a valid license to drive the car
00:43:45what license do you hold
00:43:51recently i got british license but yeah i went to india and i changed it i changed it like i didn't
00:43:56have my international license right have you got a british license no so you live here you've
00:44:04gone back to india then you've obviously come back here yeah are you studying or i became a student
00:44:11how long have you been here yeah three years yeah so am i right in thinking that your license
00:44:16from india has expired because you've been here that long okay
00:44:21right
00:44:21i'll get the check done two seconds i've got a vehicle check followed by a person's if you don't
00:44:29mind on the in any now it seems to be driving on a professional from leicestershire so because you're
00:44:37driving on an indian license that isn't valid to drive in this country okay since you're driving
00:44:41otherwise in any accordance with the license okay so what that means is firstly obviously i can't let
00:44:46you drive the car any further sorry i can't let you drive the car any further whenever someone's
00:44:52driving without a license we'll have to seize the car but but met like sorry not in my car i had another
00:45:00friend who can drive any car which had insurance right then he should if he's got a license you should
00:45:06let him drive yeah i don't mistake well i cannot say i cannot allow you to leave and the reason for
00:45:12that being yes i'm sure you're a nice person but if you want to leave and then switch drivers again
00:45:18and what i have a crash they will come back me and say you didn't do what you should do no i don't i
00:45:24don't i don't drive again right i will make promise that
00:45:27will i get the fine there will be a fine and points put on a license for you okay going forward
00:45:38you need to set a british driving test so that you can then legally be be driving in the country
00:45:46okay i'm planning to get yeah yeah i'll come and let you out appreciate your time i'll let you get on
00:45:54with your friends he knew what was coming there i think i'm not entirely sure he was expecting his
00:46:14car to get taken but i can't risk them driving off and for him to get back behind the wheel again
00:46:19and if he was to then crash that's a daily battle every day there's a new battle every day there's
00:46:25people on the road that shouldn't be so just keep fighting
00:46:40start the shift i think it's quite important we'll start off with a bit of a brew it's probably one of
00:46:45the most important things in the office if i'm honest the boiler i've borrowed this mug they did
00:46:50i don't think it quite fits my mood this morning i'm feeling quite uh positive somebody else might
00:46:55be grumpy when they realize i got the mug though at eatle lane station cup of tea's finished i think it's
00:47:03time to get ready and hit the road buoyed by his brew pc brian council is ready to dive into the day
00:47:11a little bit scuba diving at the weekend fantastic couple of dives out in the north sea we are spoiled
00:47:21across uh the northeast we've got some fantastic dive sites the number of crabs fish lobsters um that
00:47:28we do get there to see it's fantastic don't dive all year round because it does get a little bit chilly
00:47:33in the north sea but uh you've got the the stresses of life and work i mean just a bit of escape
00:47:39by going diamond opens up a whole new world and water
00:47:52so we're just getting an alert on the npr in the car for a vehicle with no insurance i've got 1286
00:47:58can you run one through sitting the stack yes yes
00:48:01yeah we'll just see if it um pops past us
00:48:18i would have expected it on this bit of road
00:48:20that's the one
00:48:32behind it now we'll see if we can get it stopped
00:48:34hello is it your car well what it is it's a trade car right what do you mean by that i'm lending it off
00:48:51the finance company because i'm buying it so the finance company's giving you it yeah so what insurance
00:48:56are you using to drive today it's his insurance what do you mean his insurance he's the man who
00:49:01i'm lending this car off but he's not a finance company so i don't get how that's working he likes
00:49:06like sells cars to people if you get what i mean i'll tell you what if we just knock it off for now
00:49:10if you can show me some insurance so i don't know if you can get in touch and find out what yeah
00:49:15find out what insurance you're driving on see the thing is my car's broke right i've lent this car
00:49:20off him so i'm assuming i'm on his insurance i really don't know give us the case he didn't

00:49:55seizing this car today
00:49:58can i not get back you'll be able to get it back but you'll have to make sure that the vehicles
00:50:02insured to be able to get it out the police compound so you're driving license and insurance
00:50:07you produce those along with the registration documents at the police station and i'm guessing
00:50:11because it's not in your name you'll not be able to do that because you haven't got the v5

00:51:00okay hello oh you want to speak to you again uh i'm not going to speak to him okay
00:51:12so he's not going to speak you spoken with the chap from the garage and she from what he's told me
00:51:18they've agreed to a sale so this car on all terms belongs to this lady that being the case it's her
00:51:23responsibility to get insurance have you got your badge not he wants your badge number
00:51:27i'm going to provide you a piece of documentation which gives you all of my details even if you want
00:51:32to give it to him that's entirely up to yourself
00:51:39right the car's going to go to the compound and unfortunately there is a charge to get the car
00:51:43back it's 192 pounds i'm not arresting you but because you're driving with no insurance i've got
00:51:49to report you for the offense

00:52:04is that true no i've got i've got the key already um i am seizing the vehicle and i want section 165 of
00:52:10the road traffic act because he said i wasn't allowed to give you the key that would be then obstructing me

00:52:45at the end of the day he's not the owner of the vehicle i'm not required to discuss it with him
00:52:55fortunately he disagreed with what i was saying it's pointless me going on it becomes an argument
00:53:01and all i've done is nipped it in the bud so yeah off to the compound it goes and uh we'll see if we

00:57:29the good news is that you're not going to get arrested and i thought we were going to have to
00:57:33when you're initially not giving your details but i'm satisfied that the details you've gave
00:57:37does match up who you are now the van's going to get seized under section 165 of the road traffic act
00:57:42i'm reporting you for the offense of driving otherwise in accordance with a license
00:57:46and also driving a motor vehicle without insurance
00:57:52is that your partner is it yeah she's very protective isn't she
00:58:00you've just been together long too yeah yeah when you said 1986 i was looking at you and i thought
00:58:07you must use a good moisturizer you were quite convincing
00:58:13you just need to get a bit of a harder paper around to age you a bit to pull it off
00:58:17it's a lovely night the sky is beautiful we've took some off the road that shouldn't be on there
00:58:33but we've also hopefully generated a little bit of love for them to you know have a stroll this
00:58:38beautiful evening courtesy of northumbria police
00:58:58issue he's had is that the the year of birth that he's gave was is the same as mine i mean i know that
00:59:04i was quite useful and don't have many wrinkles and stuff but um i could just tell that he clearly
00:59:10wasn't the same age as me she was a protective girlfriend she didn't want to leave them out of
00:59:17her sight so i don't think my wife would have been stood as close to the police car if that was us
00:59:22i should have got the taxi home we left a friend for myself
00:59:35in northumberland jamie's getting the low down from moya how do you like living in the northeastern

01:00:12observation are requested for a black box on the 898 northbound
01:00:20it's on the office wanted male believed to be in this vehicle
01:00:24it's just on the way to a report of the apple which is uh carrying the wanted male for serious
01:00:43offenses he's been known to make off in the past so this could turn a bit of a pursuit here
01:00:54it's on the way to be in the past so this could be in the past so this could be in the past
01:01:05bad driving
01:01:08can send you round the bend
01:01:13blockages stop you going with the flow look at that that's just impatient simple good manners go right
01:01:20down the drain
01:01:24and patience is a pipe dream
01:01:28oh my god
01:01:37the male's got links with uh violence and he's been known to make off in the past
01:01:42in northumberland jamie and moya are looking for a wanted driver with a serious record
01:01:50and several other units have joined in the hunt
01:01:53we're just trying to get all the eggs in a row before we try and get them stopped sounds like
01:02:09we're trying to come up with a plan here now if you've got opportunity to be able to sting the
01:02:14vehicle then just sting it all options will be authorized it's coming northbound through the
01:02:21tunnel but i think it's been standing traffic for a while so it's going to be a bit difficult trying
01:02:26to get a sting on it i think
01:02:30i'm not going to pass the lift
01:02:35good one to get stopped try and take it by the end of the surprise we've got a
01:02:39a couple of unmarked cars in the area so
01:02:43be good to just try and keep arms on it and then try and get some tactics in play
01:02:47you see i'd all play into our hands
01:02:57we made three five six lb that vehicle it's three ahead of me
01:03:01with you with you now
01:03:32so we're gonna look for a tactical box so the idea is yeah we're gonna have to try
01:03:36and keep very close to ben
01:03:40jamie put it on
01:03:49stop turn the engine off
01:03:53stop
01:04:06intel was that it was carrying a wanted meal so we'll just figure out if the wanted meal was
01:04:11within this vehicle
01:04:22jamie have you seen that what's that
01:04:24and then we've got uh oh this as well
01:04:38load of cash in a couple of the jackets in the car
01:04:41we've got one person who's wanted not the person we're initially looking for
01:05:00but the lad he's wanted for driving offences he's uh he's gone to a cell anyway
01:05:05obviously we thought he was going to be carrying the a wanted meal but uh
01:05:18we haven't got him uh but it's been carrying a wanted meal nonetheless anyway
01:05:23someone different who's been wanted for uh driving offences good result in the end
01:05:43got uh didn't get one man but his deal come and then we'll uh at least we've got someone else in the bins
01:05:51apparently all the cash was due to buying and selling gold
01:05:54so i'll be uh asking for my p45 tomorrow and i think that's buying and selling some gold
01:06:02change of occupation yeah
01:06:04gold seller be like that with one of them big monocle things where they're looking at the
01:06:08pool i don't know if that's how you buy and sell but i'd probably buy one bit and then make a loss on
01:06:12it be like bankrupt
