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,
00:03:19because you 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 not busy
00:03:24so I'm less likely to get given any jobs
00:03:26by 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 slogging 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 the 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.
00:03:45At Follingsby Police Station in Washington,
00:03:51PC Martin Anderson is 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 into Northumbria.
00:04:03And it's a brilliant car.
00:04:04So, yeah, we're back together.
00:04:06It's a bit like when you put like
00:04:09an old pair of comfortable slippers on
00:04:12or an old comfy sofa.
00:04:14We're quite fortunate, Dane,
00:04:25that we've got the full team in
00:04:27to see what the day produces.
00:04:28We've got a cloned vehicle
00:04:36in the riot area at the moment.
00:04:38It's red to 1-4.
00:04:40That clore's just hit southbound A19.
00:04:44Yeah, I'm southbound A19 now,
00:04:46just passing the 690.
00:04:51We've got a cloned vehicle.
00:04:53It's a silver Ford C-Max.
00:04:57It's just activated a camera
00:04:58a bit further south to where we are.
00:05:00So we're just trying to see if we can see it.
00:05:04We want to get this stopped
00:05:05because it's potentially disguised
00:05:07in a stolen vehicle
00:05:08or it's going to be, you know,
00:05:10committing crimes in the area.
00:05:16Get out of the way.
00:05:17Come on.
00:05:17It'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 for Merton.
00:05:38I'll be on top of the train
00:05:39in a super vehicle.
00:05:40Requesting authority for pursuit
00:05:42if the vehicle does make off.
00:05:43Suits what's right.
00:05:44Requesting other TPAC units,
00:05:45air support and dogs.
00:05:46Yeah, just at the port or away.
00:05:51Yeah, impact is offside.
00:05:54Free suit there, boss.
00:05:56LB occupant is unknown.
00:05:58We're low risk.
00:05:59Speed 5-0.
00:06:00How far out to the TPAC cars?
00:06:03We don't want to tell me
00:06:04and I need to get ahead.
00:06:06Yeah, mate.
00:06:06First exit.
00:06:071-8-2.
00:06:08The world's seeing.
00:06:10So we're just waiting
00:06:11for the other TPAC cars
00:06:12to catch up.
00:06:13At the minute,
00:06:13it hasn't reacted to us,
00:06:14which is good.
00:06:14He's in his mirrors quite a bit,
00:06:17so he's obviously aware of us.
00:06:18I want to try and get
00:06:19the other TPAC cars
00:06:20or maybe there's a stinger
00:06:20ahead of it.
00:06:22Still no reaction to my presence.
00:06:26We're going to be
00:06:26temporarily held
00:06:27by a red ADS.
00:06:30Here we go.
00:06:31Bad drivers make it their business
00:06:53to monopolise the roads
00:06:55to monopolise the roads.
00:06:56Oh my f***ing God.
00:06:58With hostile takeovers
00:07:00and squeezing the competition.
00:07:06But when stocks hit red,
00:07:10expect a market crash.
00:07:12Here we go.
00:07:22Here we go.
00:07:27I'll pay this vehicle
00:07:28is now failing to 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.
00:07:35We are approaching
00:07:38a 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 trying
00:07:48to catch him
00:07:48back up to him.
00:07:49Stand by.
00:07:50We're coming in
00:07:50along the course
00:07:51and trying to get him.
00:07:52We want to.
00:07:53We're not far off.
00:07:54Three, two,
00:07:55four and a half with itself.
00:07:58We're Dean Road.
00:07:59General direction, Martin.
00:08:01We're just coming
00:08:02into Donnelly, Dale.
00:08:03Yes, yes.
00:08:06I'll get a sting slide
00:08:07at the port.
00:08:09Speed 5-0.
00:08:10We're coming up
00:08:11towards the A19.
00:08:12I'm going to try
00:08:12and feed him
00:08:13towards the A19.
00:08:14High risk
00:08:15towards the red ATS.
00:08:20Currently wrong
00:08:20side of the road.
00:08:21Stand by.
00:08:27Yeah, 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 tactical unit.
00:08:31He's going to be
00:08:33A19 northbound.
00:08:36I've got three, two.
00:08:37We've got it
00:08:38in the visual now.
00:08:39Going to be high risk.
00:08:40Went into Roadworth.
00:08:41Took out a couple of cones.
00:08:44A1018 within the Roadworths.
00:08:49I think we need to go
00:08:56for tactical conduct
00:08:57if the opportunity arises.
00:08:58going to be high risk.
00:09:00I'll see you in the back of the road.
00:09:02This is a very good way.
00:09:03If we're going to be able to take this
00:09:06through the back of the road,
00:09:07we're going to be back to the EPS.
00:09:09The car's got a warning light on it, 461 our cars went in a limbo way game over I think
00:09:36Oh
00:09:38Bad luck fellas my transmissions too hot. I'm just after I can only go as fast as 30 mile an hour. I'll just limit it to the general area
00:09:46Absolutely good
00:09:49I'm just looking for somewhere suitable
00:09:59So left left left back towards the a183 Chester Road
00:10:06And at that junction it's a left left left of the hill road. Stinger site set up on riot road if we can get him along there
00:10:29He's taking a back lane he's going to come out in front of you 917
00:10:33No PC
00:10:39It's coming to medium risk 60 Westbound Hilton Road
00:10:43Martin's out of the pursuit, but PC Tommy Wade has taken up the chase
00:10:48Tommy's behind it now. The highest into the oncoming lane. I think two vehicles
00:10:52Leader 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 still mobile, still A183 towards the city centre
00:11:16So Tommy's just made technical conduct with it, but it's still going
00:11:19So it just shows the intent of this car
00:11:23It's going to come out of that junction in front of you now
00:11:27Tactical contact, tactical contact at the bottom of riot road, officer needs assistance, the vehicle's currently stopped
00:11:43Drivers out and down
00:11:45Yes, we've got him
00:11:47Four Tango units start with this vehicle, driver is detained
00:11:51Oh, a bit of excitement, eh?
00:12:10Albie, can you just give us the details of this motor vehicle, please?
00:12:14Yeah, Jordan's using lane, and I'll pop the details on the log
00:12:18Lovely, thank you
00:12:20Hi mate
00:12:21Hi, hi
00:12:22Didn't do what I've just done since you couldn't eat
00:12:24But I nearly got away
00:12:25Nearly got away, but you didn't
00:12:26Nah, I didn't that
00:12:27Yeah, we always get you in the end
00:12:28We always get you in the end
00:12:29We always get you in the end
00:12:40Naughty that, man
00:12:42Well why'd you do it then?
00:12:44Because I wanted to get away, obviously
00:12:46And nearly I didn't get any
00:12:47That's off today, you've done a good job, didn't I?
00:12:49That escalated quickly, didn't it?
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
00:12:53It's a total blessing in a little bit of a way to get away from the police
00:12:56It's a total blessing in a little bit of a miracle that no one's been injured
00:12:59You know, I've been involved in quite a few pursuits
00:13:00You know, I've been involved in quite a few pursuits
00:13:01And that's probably up there, like, with one of the naughtiest ones, I would say
00:13:02It's a total blessing in a little bit of a miracle that no one's been injured
00:13:06You know, I've been involved in quite a few pursuits
00:13:07And that's probably up there, like, with one of the naughtiest ones, I would say
00:13:08Thankfully, we've had a lot of resources to throw at it
00:13:09And, you know, it's very difficult to get away from the police
00:13:10That escalated quickly, didn't it?
00:13:11That escalated quickly, didn't it?
00:13:12Nothing short of dangerous and reckless driving in order to get away from the police
00:13:15It's a total blessing in a little bit of a miracle that no one's been injured
00:13:20You know, I've been involved in quite a few pursuits
00:13:21And that's probably up there, like, with one of the naughtiest ones, I would say
00:13:22Thankfully, we've had a lot of resources to throw at it
00:13:23And, you know, it's very, very satisfying knowing that he is now in custody
00:13:50You going out, mate?
00:13:51I am
00:13:52Do you want to tidy yourself up?
00:13:53I think that's your bush, isn't it?
00:13:54PC Andy Clarke is making a clean sweep of the office
00:13:57I'll give you a tie-up, get rid of the druff
00:13:59I'll find you, mate
00:14:00And the beard
00:14:01It sort of matches my crown
00:14:03You're missing a bit in the middle, is it?
00:14:04It's funny when you get cold-balled by his office
00:14:07It's funny when you get cold-balled by his office
00:14:09It's funny when you get cold-balled by his office
00:14:12It's funny when you get cold-balled by his office
00:14:14It's funny when you get cold-balled by his office
00:14:19It's funny when you get cold-balled by his office
00:14:20Full of bald people
00:14:21We don't have a full head of hair between
00:14:23You're missing the back, I'm missing the front
00:14:25The man's missing the lot
00:14:27Right, stay safe, I'll see you later on
00:14:37Right
00:14:44On his time off, local lad Andy
00:14:46Likes to let his hair down in the great outdoors
00:14:49From this area of Newcastle
00:14:51You'll be in the countryside in about 10-15 minutes
00:14:53The coastline in the north-east
00:14:55Probably is the best in the country, I would say
00:14:57Absolutely love it
00:14:59Dog loves it as well
00:15:01But Andy's sightseeing isn't all about beauty spots
00:15:07So driving around this area, I've seen all sorts of 90s fashion coming back
00:15:13I've seen pink velour juicy jogging suits
00:15:16I'll have to get mine back out of the wardrobe
00:15:18Kind of knock a 90s, early 2000s boy band
00:15:23Bit of blue, five, Backstreet Boys
00:15:27Kind of beat it
00:15:37That was 10-1949
00:15:38Go ahead
00:15:39Let's get a vehicle check on the 193 please
00:15:41This is a young lad, he's driving a Mercedes
00:15:44There's information on the car that's been seen exchanging packages over the last few days
00:16:05So there's a chance that it might be linked to a drug dealer
00:16:10Quite common that rental cars can be used for drug dealing
00:16:14So we'll give it a stop, see who's driving
00:16:18Hello mate, you alright? Your car is it?
00:16:35Mine
00:16:36Who's an insured too?
00:16:38Me
00:16:39Not you?
00:16:40Yeah
00:16:41Right, at the minute I'm going to detain you on the purposes of a drug search
00:16:43There's information that this vehicle's being used for drug dealing
00:16:45Right
00:16:46Okay
00:16:47What?
00:16:48Make sure it's been used for you
00:16:51Is there anything on you or in the car that there shouldn't be?
00:16:53Nope
00:16:54Can you just stay out the car a minute?
00:16:55Just leave that there?
00:16:56Just go stand with the back of the car for us
00:16:58Where's the keys?
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 these for that
00:17:15Why have you stayed up the desk please?
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, I've just followed him in
00:17:21I'm driving
00:17:22You were stood there with all your hoovers and everything
00:17:24Just come have a quick seat in my car
00:17:27That was the relink of drugs you know?
00:17:30How's the relink of drugs you know?
00:17:32It's been seen exchanging items over the last few days
00:17:35We've been in Edinburgh the last few days
00:17:37Have you?
00:17:38How long have you had the rental for then?
00:17:39I've had the rental because my car's in the garage
00:17:41That's not what I asked you?
00:17:42About two weeks
00:17:45Just stay away from the car please
00:17:47Just move over there
00:17:48Listen, if you carry on as you are
00:17:49I want to be dealing with Obstruck Police
00:17:51So just go stand over there
00:17:52Until we'll finish with the car
00:18:03How are we telling you for now?
00:18:05Right
00:18:06Could you just run a driver through please?
00:18:08Yeah
00:18:09Mark, hang on in
00:18:12Yeah, that's received
00:18:16Right, I'm going to conduct a drug wipe on you
00:18:18Have you had any drugs recently?
00:18:19No
00:18:20Cannabis or cocaine?
00:18:21No
00:18:22Nothing at all?
00:18:23Nothing at all
00:18:24Right
00:18:25So all I need to do with your tongue
00:18:26Swirl it round your mouth for us
00:18:27Get some saliva on your tongue
00:18:32Unpleasant I know
00:18:33Right
00:18:37What are you doing round here then?
00:18:38Just picking my girlfriend
00:18:39Just cleaning round here is she?
00:18:40Mm-hmm
00:18:43Give me a sec
00:18:44I'll tell you you're the one who's rented this car
00:18:47It's not rented
00:18:48It's a courtesy
00:18:49Right, you realise it is going to be uplifted?
00:18:51He'll be reporting for driving offences
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 come to pick you up hasn't he?
00:19:02No, I drove it together 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
00:19:09You've allowed someone without a licence or insurance
00:19:10To drive your car
00:19:11Regardless of whether you didn't know what's going on
00:19:13Because 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?
00:19:22It's a simple question isn't it?
00:19:24You kind of
00:19:25Are you reporting me?
00:19:26I'm not going to
00:19:27Unless you want to carry on and play funny buggers with us
00:19:28Because you're talking about
00:19:29He hasn't driven this
00:19:30And he hasn't driven that
00:19:31But you need to remember
00:19:32Not only have we got all these millions of cameras in here
00:19:34I'm a police officer with eyes
00:19:36And I've followed them all the way from Norham Road
00:19:40Okay?
00:19:41Don't lie to the police
00:19:42Don't lie to the police
00:19:43Right?
00:19:44I'm going to see if this is negative or positive
00:19:50Negative
00:19:51100% correct
00:19:52100%
00:19:53Right?
00:19:54Didn't drink Audrey Ducks
00:19:56Right
00:19:57You're going to be reported for driving a motor vehicle on a road
00:19:59With no insurance
00:20:00And driving otherwise in accordance with your driving licence
00:20:02Yep
00:20:03I'm going to come round
00:20:04Take the cuffs off you
00:20:05Two minutes
00:20:06You'll be on your way
00:20:07Okay?
00:20:08Cheers
00:20:09Thanks
00:20:10There you go
00:20:11Take care
00:20:12There's another one cleaned up
00:20:15She was trying to obviously fib to protect her boyfriend
00:20:16But it's really important to get uninsured and licensed people off the road
00:20:17Because they're not capable of driving to a stand
00:20:19They're not capable of driving to a stand
00:20:20I think they're really good
00:20:21No
00:20:22No
00:20:23No
00:20:24No
00:20:25No
00:20:26No
00:20:27No
00:20:28No
00:20:29No
00:20:30No
00:20:31No
00:20:32No
00:20:33No
00:20:34No
00:20:35No
00:20:36No
00:20:37No
00:20:38She was trying to obviously fib to protect her boyfriend.
00:20:42But it's really important to get uninsured and licensed people off the road
00:20:45because they're not capable of driving to a standard where they should be on the roads.
00:20:50Which, as a result of that, they have a collision.
00:20:53They're uninsured.
00:20:54How are they going to be able to afford to get the car repaired, replaced?
00:20:58We end up paying on their behalf with our premiums increasing.
00:21:02So it's important that we stop these people and get them prosecuted.
00:21:08Oh, starting a night shift when it's like this.
00:21:20Well after half eight now and it's still as if it's daytime.
00:21:25PC Martin Andersen is hoping for some light duties tonight.
00:21:29It just makes you feel totally different about your own nights, doesn't it?
00:21:34You would think that it's the first time to ever happen, but it happens every year, doesn't it?
00:21:37But everyone seems to, like, be amazed by it.
00:21:40Like, oh look, it's half eight, it's nice.
00:21:50Just on the lookout for a Silver Superb Skoda.
00:21:54Well, it's activated one of our AMPR cameras.
00:21:57It's linked to organised crime.
00:21:59There seems to be a lot of these vehicles kicking about the local area.
00:22:04A lot of them are linked to cannabis scrolls.
00:22:06There's usually always something when you get these cars stopped.
00:22:13Should have been just ahead of us, but we're sort of like chasing shadows a little bit.
00:22:17I don't want to knock the lights on just yet.
00:22:43So I don't want anybody to be spooked.
00:22:45I think that's it just up there.
00:22:49There it is.
00:22:50Call the cops.
00:23:09Stupid.
00:23:10Because Britain's bad drivers are twisting our melons, man.
00:23:16Crazy.
00:23:17As they step on the gas.
00:23:21What the?
00:23:22Pushing their new order.
00:23:27Leaving the rest of us to roll with it.
00:23:30It's just ahead of us.
00:23:39Don't want to knock the lights on just yet.
00:23:42So I don't want anybody to be spooked.
00:23:44In Sunderland, Martin is on the tail of a car linked to organised crime.
00:23:50So the bizarre thing here is that he's done what's going to be a loop.
00:23:55We'll have to sort of test to see if we are following.
00:23:57Which we are.
00:24:20Do you want to just turn the engine off for me, please?
00:24:24Come and have a seat in my car.
00:24:25It'll be a bit drier for us to do some checks there.
00:24:27I'll bring the key.
00:24:29Do you have any identification on you?
00:24:31No, I don't have no at the moment.
00:24:33No, nothing at all?
00:24:35Is the car yours, is it?
00:24:37No, it's my friend's car.
00:24:38It's not mine.
00:24:39It's not yours.
00:24:41Right.
00:24:47Right, what's your name?
00:24:48I'm sorry, but I don't speak very good.
00:24:50What's your nationality, I hear?
00:24:52Albanian.
00:24:52Right.
00:24:53Do you want to write it down on there?
00:24:54And if you write your date of birth as well, please?
00:24:56Okay.
00:24:56No, I'll leave this one.
00:25:03Pango 461, I'll be.
00:25:05Go ahead.
00:25:06I've got the details of this driver.
00:25:08If I can run him through, please.
00:25:10Pango 461, I'll leave this one.
00:25:13What sort of a driving license have you got?
00:25:15I have an Albanian license.
00:25:16An Albanian one.
00:25:18How long have you been in the UK?
00:25:19For four years.
00:25:21Have you never changed it to an English?
00:25:23I know, but I've been waiting for the visa.
00:25:25I have the application for two years.
00:25:27So you don't have any UK license?
00:25:29You're still driving on an international one?
00:25:31No.
00:25:31Right, okay.
00:25:33Pango 461.
00:25:35Go ahead.
00:25:37Nothing else done or anything for him.
00:25:39I've got him down as non-license holder.
00:25:42Yeah, received.
00:25:43Right.
00:25:44I'm reporting you for the offence of driving with no UK driving license
00:25:48and also for driving on a road with no insurance.
00:25:51So you're going to be losing the car tonight.
00:25:53That's going to get seized.
00:25:56The last thing is, before you go,
00:25:58I'm going to be searching the vehicle under section 23
00:26:00of the Misuse of Drugs Act
00:26:01because through investigation
00:26:03we're aware that this vehicle is linked to organised crime.
00:26:06No.
00:26:07Okay?
00:26:07Okay.
00:26:08Is there anything in the car?
00:26:10No, I don't have any room.
00:26:11Right.
00:26:18I can't smell anything.
00:26:20I can't smell cannabis.
00:26:20But sometimes there's, like,
00:26:24bags of, like,
00:26:27plant food and things like that.
00:26:28So, like, things like this.
00:26:35Just fertiliser, like, a grow bag.
00:26:39Probably is a good idea what it's for,
00:26:41but it's not illegal to have a grow bag in your car.
00:26:45You might just have green fingers,
00:26:46but given that the car is linked to organised crime
00:26:49and the production of cannabis
00:26:51and in the car is a grow bag,
00:26:53that sort of strengthens the link to this vehicle
00:26:57to potentially organise crime.
00:27:01Right.
00:27:02Happy?
00:27:06You're free to go.
00:27:08Just out of interest,
00:27:08what's the grow bag?
00:27:10What's the compost in the boot for?
00:27:13Sorry?
00:27:14The compost?
00:27:14I'll show you.
00:27:15I'll show you.
00:27:17I don't know.
00:27:24Maybe for the house?
00:27:27For the house?
00:27:28For growing things?
00:27:30No, no.
00:27:31No.
00:27:33So, the car's going to come with us.
00:27:35That's how you get the car back.
00:27:36You'll keep an eye on your post
00:27:37because you'll get something through the post.
00:27:40And you'll have to get a new bag of soil
00:27:42for your plants,
00:27:43for your tomatoes.
00:27:44You'll be right back.
00:28:14He's denied any knowledge of the soil being there.
00:28:16He claims it's his mate's car
00:28:17and that it's for some sort of
00:28:19some plant in the house or something like that.
00:28:22He could be telling the truth,
00:28:25but
00:28:25he's repotting exercise
00:28:27is going to have to be on hold
00:28:29until he gets a new bag of compost.
00:28:31Whatever it is that he's repotting,
00:28:33who knows?
00:28:33At Eatle Lane Station in Newcastle,
00:28:46the motorway cops never run on empty.
00:28:49As you can see,
00:28:50we've got a nice bit of chocolate fudge cake,
00:28:53which was kindly donated.
00:28:55I might have had two of these already.
00:28:57Not such a fan of these ones.
00:28:59PC Jamie Leslie
00:29:01will have to share the goodies
00:29:03as he won't be riding solo today.
00:29:08The day we've got
00:29:09Maya on an attachment
00:29:11from Area Command.
00:29:12You know how I remember that name?
00:29:14Because I write it on me hand.
00:29:16So it's Maya
00:29:17and it rhymes with soya.
00:29:20But even that's probably a far stretch for us,
00:29:21so I've decided to call her Mo.
00:29:23Been in, what, four years
00:29:24and I've never had a nickname,
00:29:25so it's going to stick.
00:29:34As Jamie heads out
00:29:36on his first patrol
00:29:37with PC Moya Cullen,
00:29:39Look out about this new kit.
00:29:40he's keen to show her
00:29:42how everything works.
00:29:44I've broken it already.
00:29:46I know.
00:29:48Imagine that.
00:29:50Dope.
00:29:55Which area of command
00:30:01do you usually work?
00:30:02In Gateshead.
00:30:03Alright, so are you
00:30:04just on attachment
00:30:05to kind of see if you like it?
00:30:08Really, I just wanted
00:30:09to come and brush up
00:30:10on my basic traffic offences
00:30:12that I would deal with
00:30:14when I'm on response.
00:30:15And to be honest,
00:30:16just nice getting out
00:30:17in Gateshead for a little bit.
00:30:18Not having to go and deal
00:30:20with domestics.
00:30:20Yeah.
00:30:21It's a different environment.
00:30:23Slightly cleaner car.
00:30:24Oh, yeah.
00:30:26Much cleaner car.
00:30:28If you want to see
00:30:28a worse car
00:30:29than a recommended car,
00:30:31go and have a look
00:30:32at a dog handler's car.
00:30:33They are rough, rough.
00:30:52So, just had an
00:30:53activation for a black BMW.
00:30:56The animal's been reported
00:30:57in is smelling strongly
00:30:58of cannabis.
00:30:59So, we'll see if we can
00:31:00catch up with it.
00:31:03They're heading more
00:31:04into Woldstown?
00:31:05Yeah.
00:31:06You can get up quite quick.
00:31:10A lot of the fatals
00:31:11I've dealt with,
00:31:12the drivers
00:31:13are impaired
00:31:14through some way.
00:31:16It's quite important
00:31:17to try and get a hold
00:31:18of them.
00:31:18Particularly with
00:31:19these weather conditions
00:31:20where your driving standards
00:31:22might slip anyway.
00:31:26Drivers under the influence
00:31:28on wet roads
00:31:29can be deadly.
00:31:35On the rainy A1,
00:31:37a driver high on drugs
00:31:39performs a dangerous
00:31:40undertake in heavy traffic
00:31:41and then refuses to stop
00:31:44for Jamie and Moyer's
00:31:45fellow Northumbria cops,
00:31:47sparking a high-speed chase
00:31:49between Newcastle
00:31:50and Gateshead,
00:31:51with the driver
00:31:51hitting speeds
00:31:52of over 120 miles per hour.
00:31:56He leaves the dual carriageway,
00:31:59still going at 70
00:32:00in a 30 zone.
00:32:03The suspect abandons his car
00:32:05to crash into a gate
00:32:06and makes a run for it,
00:32:08but is quickly
00:32:09caught by the cops.
00:32:12He pleaded guilty
00:32:13to dangerous driving,
00:32:14driving without a licence,
00:32:16driving without insurance,
00:32:17failing to stop
00:32:18and possession of cannabis
00:32:20and to Mazepan.
00:32:22He was jailed for nine months
00:32:23and given an 18-month
00:32:25driving ban.
00:32:32They're heading more
00:32:33in towards town.
00:32:34Yeah.
00:32:35He got them quite quick.
00:32:39In Newcastle,
00:32:40Jamie and Moyer
00:32:41are on the hunt
00:32:42for a suspected drug driver.
00:32:46We could be in this
00:32:47village traffic yard,
00:32:48or we could see.
00:32:55I don't know.
00:32:56Do us a favour, mate,
00:33:03just pull over
00:33:04straight up at the top.
00:33:05Hello, mate, Harry.
00:33:26Have you got a driver's license?
00:33:27Yep.
00:33:28Can I have it?
00:33:29No, I just want to know.
00:33:30No, I have...
00:33:31Sorry, sorry.
00:33:35What's happening?
00:33:36Do you want to have a
00:33:36sit in the back of my car
00:33:37for two minutes?
00:33:38I'll tell you.
00:33:40It's jumping there.
00:33:41Have you got your passport there?
00:33:55Yes.
00:33:55Can I have it?
00:33:56Yes.
00:34:00What's happening?
00:34:01I'm just stressed.
00:34:03No, don't stress.
00:34:03Don't worry about it.
00:34:04Have you got a British
00:34:08driver's license?
00:34:11When did you come to the UK?
00:34:16How long have you
00:34:16had the car for?
00:34:17I'm second driver.
00:34:19So it's his car?
00:34:20Yes.
00:34:21Are you in Chad?
00:34:22Yes, I'm in Chad.
00:34:23Oh, yeah, right.
00:34:24What it is,
00:34:25is your vehicle,
00:34:26we've got a report
00:34:27that the person driving it
00:34:29is potentially using
00:34:30cannabis.
00:34:32No, no, mate.
00:34:33No.
00:34:33You check,
00:34:34I'm not cannabis.
00:34:35You use, though.
00:34:36You smoke cannabis.
00:34:37No, no, no.
00:34:38You check me if you want.
00:34:39No, no, no.
00:34:40When did you last
00:34:41smoke cannabis?
00:34:43About two days.
00:34:47Two days ago?
00:34:48Because your eyes
00:34:49do look glazed.
00:34:50No, I'm working, mate.
00:34:52Really, I'm working.
00:34:52If you want,
00:34:53I do test it.
00:34:56Two days before I smoked.
00:34:58Now, really, not smoke.
00:34:59Cigarettes, really.
00:35:00Really, really.
00:35:01Well, cigarettes won't show up,
00:35:03don't worry.
00:35:03No, I see what they're eating.
00:35:05Just lean forward for us.
00:35:06Stick your tongue out.
00:35:09Right, now,
00:35:09just get a couple
00:35:10from the inside of your mouth.
00:35:11Inside of your mouth.
00:35:13You smell of cannabis.
00:35:16Okay, that'll take
00:35:17a couple of minutes
00:35:17to come back.
00:35:25Somehow lost a name.
00:35:27Oh, have you?
00:35:27I hope it didn't fall into your air.
00:35:31Oh, and I've eaten it
00:35:32in my chicken.
00:35:35That's a crunchy bit, that.
00:35:36Extra crunchy.
00:35:38You've got nice nails.
00:35:39My nail girl won't be happy
00:35:45when I turn up tomorrow
00:35:46without one.
00:35:47Neither will your purse.
00:35:48No.
00:35:55You've tested positive
00:35:56for cannabis, okay?
00:35:58So you're going to be arrested?
00:35:59OK.
00:36:10So put your hands
00:36:12across your chest for us, mate.
00:36:13There we go.
00:36:15Sit tight for two minutes, all right?
00:36:16Hello, mate.
00:36:24He's been locked up
00:36:25for drug drive.
00:36:27You've got a full licence
00:36:28and that's just for
00:36:29getting this box.
00:36:31Right, take it easy.
00:36:32You can drive off.
00:36:38I'm getting absolutely soaking.
00:36:40Could have picked up
00:36:40a better idea
00:36:41for his drug driving,
00:36:42aren't they?
00:36:46I just have a seat in there
00:36:52for us just on the bench.
00:37:13You're nice and dry there, Maure?
00:37:15I was lovely and dry.
00:37:17It's only out in the room
00:37:18for about five seconds.
00:37:20I'm suitably soaked
00:37:21right through, yeah.
00:37:23I feel like I've had
00:37:24to blow dry my hair.
00:37:27Silly larder.
00:37:28A little stop, though.
00:37:29Good intel.
00:37:30You did have quite nice nails,
00:37:31though, didn't you?
00:37:32They were very well-groomed.
00:37:33Is that the right one?
00:37:34Have we lost any more nails
00:37:35in there?
00:37:35No, just the one.
00:37:39I don't know where it's gone.
00:37:41Brush my teeth in the morning.
00:37:43Shower.
00:37:43That's as far as
00:37:44my beauty sessions go.
00:37:46Probably couldn't do with me.
00:37:47Roots touched up because...
00:37:49You graze.
00:37:55There's a real graze in there.
00:37:56I've got a new car
00:38:07off the door.
00:38:08Just seeing my children
00:38:09missus.
00:38:09She's six.
00:38:10It's a lovely little thing
00:38:11to have to just sort of
00:38:12get you going
00:38:13and just...
00:38:14You know,
00:38:15just remind you
00:38:16why you're doing it,
00:38:16to be honest.
00:38:17Means everything to us.
00:38:19Anyway,
00:38:19that's enough about me.
00:38:21We've got a job to do.
00:38:22And it's time
00:38:24to get out there
00:38:24and do it.
00:38:37Just moments
00:38:38into his shift,
00:38:39Tommy already
00:38:40has a mystery to solve.
00:38:44Put me phone somewhere
00:38:45and I kind of feel
00:38:46like I have to remember
00:38:47the way it is.
00:38:49Just want to make sure
00:38:50it's not on the roof.
00:38:54Hi.
00:38:55Guess where it was.
00:38:59Now,
00:39:01that was lucky.
00:39:04What do you see?
00:39:05Just drive sensibly.
00:39:06It doesn't fall off, man.
00:39:06Well,
00:39:11heart attack inverted.
00:39:12Let's get out there.
00:39:19Today,
00:39:20we're going to have a look
00:39:20at South Shields
00:39:22and just see what's happening.
00:39:25See what's wearing its head.
00:39:26I've got a hit on a BMW here.
00:39:38It's got a mark at us here.
00:39:40It might be driven
00:39:41with no license.
00:39:42It's heading north
00:39:43on the N18.
00:39:45I just want to try
00:39:45and position myself
00:39:46so I can get a good look
00:39:47at what's coming up
00:39:48the N18.
00:39:56there's a chance
00:40:03you may be heading north.
00:40:07Please use BMW.
00:40:14There it is.
00:40:26Dodgy drivers
00:40:35are making a splash
00:40:36on Britain's roads.
00:40:41Diving headfirst
00:40:42into trouble
00:40:43and swimming
00:40:46against the tide.
00:40:48One wrong stroke
00:40:50and you could end up
00:40:53completely
00:40:53out of your depth.
00:40:56B-Series BMW.
00:41:06There it is.
00:41:13On the A19,
00:41:15Tommy's clocked a car
00:41:16with a possible
00:41:16illegal driver
00:41:17behind the wheel.
00:41:20We've potentially
00:41:21got someone here
00:41:22with no license
00:41:23driving a motor vehicle
00:41:25on
00:41:25and me and I.T.
00:41:26rail route
00:41:27which is obviously
00:41:28a risk.
00:41:29that looks like
00:41:36up there.
00:41:39Try and get it stopped.
00:41:50Just stop on there.
00:41:51Oh my goodness,
00:42:09this is still going to
00:42:09stop on the A19.
00:42:10Right.
00:42:13I'm going to get him
00:42:14to just pull off.
00:42:15Hello, mate.
00:42:20Would you do
00:42:20a favour?
00:42:21Yeah.
00:42:21There's a little
00:42:22stopping area
00:42:22just ahead of you.
00:42:23Are you ready?
00:42:23Just pull in there.
00:42:24Yeah.
00:42:24Right.
00:42:32Right.
00:42:35Definitely best
00:42:36not to just
00:42:37stop on the A19.
00:42:38hopefully.
00:42:39He's understood
00:42:40what I said
00:42:41and just
00:42:41nope.
00:42:46Excellent.
00:42:47Yeah.
00:42:47Oh, dear me.
00:42:54Let's see if I can
00:42:55just get it on the side.
00:43:00If you just follow me
00:43:02round the roundabout
00:43:02and just stop behind us.
00:43:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:43:04Yeah.
00:43:05The car, when it's been
00:43:33coming up, the
00:43:34A19 has registered
00:43:37to say that
00:43:37the person driving
00:43:38may not hold
00:43:39a valid licence
00:43:40to drive the car.
00:43:45What licence
00:43:45do you hold?
00:43:50See, recently
00:43:51I got a British licence.
00:43:53Right.
00:43:53Yeah, I went to India
00:43:54and I changed it.
00:43:55I changed it like
00:43:56I didn't even have
00:43:57my international licence.
00:44:00Right.
00:44:01Have you got
00:44:01a British licence?
00:44:03No.
00:44:03So you live here,
00:44:04you've gone back to India
00:44:05and then you've obviously
00:44:06come back here?
00:44:06Yeah.
00:44:07Are you a student or...?
00:44:08I became a student.
00:44:09Student.
00:44:10Yeah.
00:44:11How long have you been here?
00:44:13Yeah, three years.
00:44:14Yeah.
00:44:14So am I right in thinking
00:44:15that your licence from India
00:44:17has expired
00:44:18because you've been here
00:44:18that long?
00:44:19OK.
00:44:20OK.
00:44:21Right.
00:44:24I'll get the check done
00:44:25in two seconds.
00:44:26No, you tell me, yeah?
00:44:27Got a vehicle check
00:44:28followed by a person,
00:44:29if you don't mind,
00:44:30on the A19.
00:44:32No, it seems to be
00:44:33driving on a professional
00:44:34from Leicestershire.
00:44:36So because you're
00:44:37driving on an Indian licence,
00:44:38that isn't valid
00:44:39to drive in this country?
00:44:40OK.
00:44:40Since you're driving,
00:44:41otherwise,
00:44:42in accordance with the licence?
00:44:43OK.
00:44:44So what that means
00:44:45is firstly,
00:44:45obviously,
00:44:46I can't let you
00:44:46drive the car any further.
00:44:47Sorry?
00:44:48I can't let you
00:44:49drive the car any further.
00:44:51Whenever someone's
00:44:52driving without a licence,
00:44:53we'll have to seize the car.
00:44:55But, but, mate,
00:44:56like, sorry,
00:44:57not mate,
00:44:58in my car,
00:44:59I had another friend
00:45:01who can drive
00:45:01any car
00:45:02which had insurance.
00:45:03Right.
00:45:04Then he should've,
00:45:05if he's got a licence,
00:45:06you should've let him drive.
00:45:07Yeah, I don't mistake.
00:45:08Well, I kind of,
00:45:09see,
00:45:10I kind of allow you
00:45:11to leave.
00:45:12And the reason for that being
00:45:13is I'm sure
00:45:14you're a nice person,
00:45:15but if you want to leave
00:45:17and then switch drivers again
00:45:18and have a crash,
00:45:20they will come back to me
00:45:20and say,
00:45:21you didn't do
00:45:22what you should do.
00:45:23No, I don't.
00:45:24I don't,
00:45:24I don't drive again.
00:45:26Right.
00:45:26I will make promise that.
00:45:30Will I get the fine?
00:45:33There'll be a fine
00:45:34and points
00:45:35put on a licence for you.
00:45:37OK.
00:45:37Going forward,
00:45:38you need to set
00:45:40a British driving test
00:45:41so that
00:45:43you can then legally
00:45:43be driving in the country.
00:45:46OK.
00:45:48I'm planning to get...
00:45:49Yeah.
00:45:50Yeah, I'll come and let you out.
00:45:52Appreciate your time,
00:45:53I'll let you get on
00:45:54with your friends.
00:45:54He knew what was coming there,
00:46:11I think.
00:46:12I'm not entirely sure
00:46:13he was expecting his car
00:46:14to get taken,
00:46:15but I can't risk
00:46:16them driving off
00:46:17and for him to get back
00:46:19behind the wheel again
00:46:19and if he was to then
00:46:20crash.
00:46:21It's a daily battle.
00:46:24Every day there's
00:46:24a new battle,
00:46:25every day there's
00:46:25people on the road
00:46:26that shouldn't be
00:46:27so just keep fighting.
00:46:40Start the shift,
00:46:41I think it's quite important
00:46:42we'll start off
00:46:42with a bit of a brew.
00:46:45It's probably one of
00:46:45the most important things
00:46:46in the office
00:46:47if I'm honest.
00:46:47The boiler.
00:46:49I've borrowed this mug
00:46:50that I don't think
00:46:50it quite fits
00:46:51my mood this morning.
00:46:52I'm feeling quite positive
00:46:53to it.
00:46:54Somebody else might be grumpy
00:46:55when they realise
00:46:56I got the mug though.
00:47:00At Eatle Lane Station...
00:47:02Cup of tea's finished,
00:47:03I think it's time
00:47:03to get ready
00:47:04and hit the road.
00:47:06Boyed by his brew,
00:47:08PC Brian Council
00:47:08is ready to
00:47:10dive into the day.
00:47:11A little bit
00:47:15scuba diving
00:47:16at the weekend.
00:47:17Fantastic couple of dives
00:47:18out in the North Sea.
00:47:21We are spoilt
00:47:21across the North East.
00:47:23We've got some
00:47:23fantastic dive sites.
00:47:25The number of crabs,
00:47:26fish, lobsters
00:47:28that we do get there
00:47:29to see,
00:47:30it's fantastic.
00:47:31Don't dive all year round
00:47:32because it does get
00:47:33a little bit chilly
00:47:33in the North Sea.
00:47:35You've got the
00:47:36stresses of life
00:47:37and work
00:47:38and just a bit of an escape.
00:47:40I go and dive
00:47:41around, opens up
00:47:41a whole new world
00:47:42and water.
00:47:52So we're just
00:47:52getting an alert
00:47:53on the NPR
00:47:54in the car
00:47:55for a vehicle
00:47:56with no insurance.
00:47:57I've got 1286.
00:47:59Can you run one
00:47:59through the stack?
00:48:01Yes, sir.
00:48:02Fear witness,
00:48:03I'm sure no
00:48:04current feedback
00:48:05and insurance
00:48:06has come back.
00:48:06It's not held.
00:48:08Yeah, receive.
00:48:09We'll just see
00:48:09if it pops
00:48:10past us.
00:48:18I would have
00:48:19expected it
00:48:19on this bit of road.
00:48:26That's the one.
00:48:32It's behind it now.
00:48:33We'll see if we can
00:48:34get it stopped.
00:48:34Hello.
00:48:46Is it your car?
00:48:47Well, what it is,
00:48:48it's a trade car.
00:48:49Right.
00:48:49What do you mean by that?
00:48:50I'm lending it off
00:48:51the finance company
00:48:52because I'm buying it.
00:48:54So the finance company
00:48:55has given you it?
00:48:56Yeah.
00:48:56So what insurance
00:48:56are you using
00:48:57to drive the day?
00:48:58It's his insurance.
00:48:59What do you mean
00:48:59his insurance?
00:49:00He's the man
00:49:01who I'm lending
00:49:01this car off.
00:49:02But he's not
00:49:03a finance company
00:49:04so I don't get
00:49:04how that's working.
00:49:05Well, he sells
00:49:06cars to people
00:49:07if you get what I mean.
00:49:08I'll tell you what,
00:49:09if we just knock it
00:49:09off for now,
00:49:10if you can show me
00:49:11some insurance
00:49:12so I don't know
00:49:13if you can get in touch
00:49:14and find out what
00:49:14insurance you're driving on.
00:49:17See, the thing is
00:49:18my car's broke
00:49:19so I've lent
00:49:20this car off him
00:49:21so I'm assuming
00:49:22I'm on his insurance.
00:49:23I really don't know
00:49:23if he gives the case.
00:49:24He didn't mention
00:49:25anything about insurance.
00:49:26I don't think I'll phone him.
00:49:32Hiya, I've been pulled
00:49:33over by the police here.
00:49:34Am I insured
00:49:35on your insurance?
00:49:38Oh, you're joking.
00:49:40Well, I just assumed
00:49:40I was on yours.
00:49:42Oh, well, I didn't know that.
00:49:44No, but I'm right.
00:49:44Thanks.
00:49:45Bye, bye.
00:49:45I honestly,
00:49:47did he say no, you know?
00:49:48I gathered from
00:49:49that conversation, yeah.
00:49:51I mean, I could get insured,
00:49:52I think.
00:49:53Unfortunately, what will happen
00:49:54is we'll be seizing
00:49:55this car today.
00:49:56No.
00:49:58So what, can I not get back?
00:49:59You'll be able to get it back
00:50:00but you'll have to make sure
00:50:02that the vehicle's insured
00:50:02to be able to get it
00:50:03out of the police compound.
00:50:05So you're driving license
00:50:06and insurance,
00:50:07you produce those
00:50:08along with the registration
00:50:09documents at the police station
00:50:10and I'm guessing
00:50:11because it's not in your name
00:50:12you'll not be able
00:50:13to do that
00:50:14because you haven't got the V5
00:50:16and potentially
00:50:17this other guy's
00:50:18going to have to get it back.
00:50:20Hello?
00:50:21Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:50:23That's the man who's caught with.
00:50:25Hello, how can I help you?
00:50:26For whatever reason,
00:50:27she hasn't done yet.
00:50:28She hasn't done anything.
00:50:29Right.
00:50:30Now, so the question
00:50:31I've got then is
00:50:32has she agreed to purchase it?
00:50:33Is the car
00:50:34in effect classified as hers?
00:50:36Yeah, yeah, she,
00:50:37she, all the car.
00:50:38So, in which case,
00:50:39what she needs to do
00:50:39is get the V5 off you.
00:50:41No, she doesn't need to do that.
00:50:47V5 is not necessarily...
00:50:48Right.
00:50:49I'll stop you there.
00:50:50I'll just stop you there.
00:50:51If she doesn't do this,
00:50:52she'll not be getting the car back.
00:50:54Can I stop you there?
00:50:55Right.
00:50:55She doesn't...
00:50:57I do.
00:50:57Right.
00:50:58What I'll do is
00:50:59I'll hand you back to her,
00:51:00okay?
00:51:01Hello?
00:51:02Oh, you want to speak to you again?
00:51:08I'm not going to speak to him.
00:51:10Okay?
00:51:12So he's not going to speak to you?
00:51:15Spoken with the chap
00:51:16from the garage
00:51:16and from what he's told me,
00:51:18they've agreed to a sale
00:51:19so this car
00:51:20on all terms
00:51:21belongs to this lady.
00:51:22That being the case,
00:51:23it's her responsibility
00:51:24to get insurance.
00:51:25Have you got your badge?
00:51:26No, he wants your badge number.
00:51:28I'm going to provide you
00:51:29a piece of documentation
00:51:30which gives you
00:51:31all of my details
00:51:32and if you want to give it to him,
00:51:33that's entirely up to yourself.
00:51:39Right.
00:51:40The car's going to go
00:51:40to the compound
00:51:41and unfortunately
00:51:42there is a charge
00:51:42to get the car back.
00:51:44It's £192.
00:51:46I'm not arresting you
00:51:47but because you're driving
00:51:48with no insurance,
00:51:49I've got to report you
00:51:49for the offence.
00:51:55My details are on the bottom
00:51:56so my calling number's there.
00:51:57I'm working with motor patrols
00:51:59so that's all the information
00:52:01you need.
00:52:01Right.
00:52:02All right.
00:52:02He sees I'm not allowed
00:52:03to give you the key.
00:52:04Is that true?
00:52:05No, I've got the key already.
00:52:07I am seizing the vehicle
00:52:09under section 165
00:52:10of the Road Traffic Act
00:52:11because it...
00:52:11Well, he said I wasn't allowed
00:52:12to give you the key.
00:52:14That would be then
00:52:14obstructing me
00:52:15in the execution of any duty
00:52:16and you'll get locked up.
00:52:19I've just finished work.
00:52:21Right.
00:52:21I need me car for work.
00:52:22What do you do?
00:52:24Clean up.
00:52:25What about cleaning?
00:52:25Right.
00:52:26What?
00:52:28Right, thank you.
00:52:29Okay, thanks now.
00:52:30At the end of the day,
00:52:51he's not the owner
00:52:52of the vehicle.
00:52:52I'm not required
00:52:54to discuss it with him.
00:52:55Fortunately,
00:52:56he disagreed
00:52:56with what I was saying.
00:52:58It's pointless me
00:52:59going on.
00:53:00It becomes an argument
00:53:01and all I've done
00:53:02is nipped it in the bud.
00:53:03So, yeah,
00:53:04off to the compound
00:53:05it goes
00:53:05and we'll see
00:53:07if we can pick up
00:53:07anything else.
00:53:26I'm just a bit tired.
00:53:29Second night shift.
00:53:30I didn't have a great sleep today
00:53:32if I was honest.
00:53:33I don't know
00:53:35if I'm starting
00:53:35to get to that age
00:53:36where you need
00:53:36to keep getting up
00:53:36for a wee.
00:53:39At just 38,
00:53:40Martin isn't quite
00:53:41the old Bill
00:53:42but he'll need
00:53:44to find some energy
00:53:45in Sunderland tonight.
00:53:47We've got a job
00:53:48to do as cheesy
00:53:49as that sounds
00:53:49and we haven't got
00:53:50a gentleman's agreement
00:53:52with criminals
00:53:53where, you know,
00:53:54they all knock it
00:53:54on the head
00:53:55at midnight
00:53:56and go home.
00:53:57So I need to find
00:53:58something to cheer us up
00:53:58and get us through the shift.
00:54:03Oh, look at this
00:54:05white barn up here.
00:54:08It's sort of
00:54:08kicking on a bit, isn't it?
00:54:15This upper brake light
00:54:17is out
00:54:18seemed a little bit quick.
00:54:21It's a Friday night.
00:54:22It's 10 o'clock.
00:54:23We'll just make sure
00:54:24that it isn't someone
00:54:25that's up to no good.
00:54:25Tango 461 12B.
00:54:33Perfect.
00:54:34It's after a mobile
00:54:35vehicle check, please.
00:54:36No report.
00:54:37There is insurance sales.
00:54:39That's received, thank you.
00:54:41The check comes back
00:54:42shows it's registered
00:54:43and insured to someone.
00:54:45We'll have a look at it
00:54:46and just make sure
00:54:46that it is in order.
00:54:47Many motorists
00:55:03make a meal
00:55:04out of driving.
00:55:08Taking the biscuit
00:55:09with half-baked
00:55:13manoeuvres.
00:55:14And when they're
00:55:17stuck in a jam
00:55:18end up
00:55:21in a pickle.
00:55:30He's
00:55:31up a brake light
00:55:32is out.
00:55:33Seemed a little bit quick
00:55:34but the check come back
00:55:36shows it's registered
00:55:36and insured to someone.
00:55:38We'll have it
00:55:39and we'll have to
00:55:39just make sure
00:55:40that it is in order.
00:55:40In Sunderland
00:55:44Martin has some
00:55:46questions for a
00:55:46white van driver.
00:55:55Hi mate,
00:55:56you alright?
00:55:57Have you got your
00:55:57licence on you?
00:55:58No, I don't know.
00:55:59Do you have any ID
00:55:59on you at all?
00:56:00No.
00:56:00Right, what's your date of birth?
00:56:011986.
00:56:02Right.
00:56:0386?
00:56:04How old does that make you?
00:56:07Right, fine.
00:56:07Mate, just jump out
00:56:13and come and have a seat
00:56:13in my car.
00:56:14I don't believe
00:56:15that that's your
00:56:16correct details.
00:56:17Is it?
00:56:19No, that'd be me at one.
00:56:20Isn't it?
00:56:20Right.
00:56:22I think I've been
00:56:23given some false details.
00:56:24I'll come back here shortly.
00:56:25OK.
00:56:28Have a seat in there, buddy.
00:56:37Just wait over there for us.
00:56:39I'll wait up.
00:56:40Eh?
00:56:40I'll wait up.
00:56:41Well, I'll tell you something.
00:56:42If you try and open the door
00:56:43you'll get locked up.
00:56:45I'm just saying.
00:56:46Do you look like I'm
00:56:46off the door?
00:56:48Well, I'm just mentioning it
00:56:49just in case you thought about us.
00:56:50Yeah, but I'll put you down on.
00:56:52Right.
00:56:53What's the crack with the van?
00:56:54Not this.
00:56:55Does your mate know
00:56:56you've got it?
00:56:57Aye.
00:56:58Have you got a licence?
00:56:59No, I've got a provisional.
00:57:00OK.
00:57:01All right, OK.
00:57:02Give us your date of birth.
00:57:04Your real one.
00:57:042001.
00:57:05Have you gave false details
00:57:07because you wanted or something
00:57:08or is it just purely
00:57:09because you've got no licence?
00:57:10I've got no licence to all of us.
00:57:11What's the crack then?
00:57:12What was you using the van for?
00:57:15I've got a job to do tomorrow for him.
00:57:17Does he know you've got no licence
00:57:18and you're not on the insurance?
00:57:19I didn't tell him.
00:57:20That's my fault.
00:57:21Right, mate,
00:57:21because you've been driving
00:57:22without a licence
00:57:23and without insurance.
00:57:24I'm going to get points now, isn't I?
00:57:25Yeah, you will do.
00:57:29The good news is
00:57:30that you're not going to get arrested.
00:57:31I thought we were going to have to
00:57:33when you were initially
00:57:33not giving your details,
00:57:34but I'm satisfied
00:57:35that the details you've gave
00:57:37does match up
00:57:37with who you are now.
00:57:39The van's going to get seized
00:57:40under Section 165
00:57:41of the Road Traffic Act.
00:57:42I'm reporting you
00:57:43for the offence of driving otherwise
00:57:44in accordance with a licence
00:57:45and also driving a motor vehicle
00:57:47without insurance.
00:57:48Is that your partner, is it?
00:57:56Yeah.
00:57:57She's very protective, isn't she?
00:57:59Mm-hmm.
00:58:00Have you just been together long?
00:58:01Two years.
00:58:03Yeah, when you said 1986,
00:58:05I was looking at you
00:58:06and I thought,
00:58:06you must use a good moisturiser.
00:58:08Yeah, it's a good moisturizer.
00:58:09I know it's details, so...
00:58:11You were quite convincing.
00:58:12You just need to get a bit of
00:58:14a harder paper around
00:58:16to age you a bit
00:58:17to pull it off.
00:58:19Right, I'll come and let you out.
00:58:29It's a lovely night.
00:58:30The sky's beautiful.
00:58:31We've took some off the road
00:58:32that shouldn't be on there,
00:58:33but we've also, hopefully,
00:58:35generated a little bit of love for them
00:58:37to, you know, have a stroll
00:58:38this beautiful evening,
00:58:39courtesy of Northumbria Police.
00:58:58The issue he's had
00:58:59is that the year of birth
00:59:00that he's gave
00:59:01is the same as mine.
00:59:03I mean, I know that I look quite useful
00:59:05and don't have many wrinkles and stuff,
00:59:06but, um...
00:59:08I could just tell
00:59:09that he clearly wasn't
00:59:11the same age as me.
00:59:14She was a protective girlfriend.
00:59:16She didn't want to
00:59:17let him out of his sight.
00:59:18So I don't think
00:59:19my wife would have been
00:59:20stood as close to the police car
00:59:21if that was us.
00:59:22If she'd have got the taxi home,
00:59:24we'd have to fend for myself.
00:59:34In Northumberland,
00:59:36Jamie's getting the lowdown
00:59:37from Moyer.
00:59:39How do you like
00:59:39living in the Northeastern?
00:59:41It's good.
00:59:41Really good.
00:59:42I'm from the South originally,
00:59:44but I would never
00:59:45move from here now.
00:59:47Absolutely love it.
00:59:48It's like we're
00:59:49our own little
00:59:49kept secret up here.
00:59:50Yeah.
00:59:51Loads of countryside,
00:59:52loads of mint beaches.
00:59:54That's good beaches.
00:59:58It's pure class, isn't it?
00:59:59It's pure class.
01:00:02Pure mint in that.
01:00:02Observation are requested
01:00:14for a black box
01:00:16last road
01:00:16on the A-19
01:00:17northbound.
01:00:20It's on the hop,
01:00:21this
01:00:21wanted male
01:00:22believed to be in this vehicle.
01:00:24A-356,
01:00:27he's known to be violent
01:00:28and sales must stop.
01:00:30Yes, receive.
01:00:31Just on the way
01:00:38to a report
01:00:39of the apple
01:00:40which is carrying
01:00:41a wanted male
01:00:42for serious offenses.
01:00:44He's been known
01:00:45to make off
01:00:45in the past.
01:00:46so this could
01:00:48turn a little bit
01:00:49of a pursuit here.
01:01:04Bad driving
01:01:05can send you
01:01:09round the bend.
01:01:11Blockages
01:01:14stop you
01:01:14going with the flow.
01:01:16Look at that.
01:01:17That's just impatient.
01:01:18Simple good manners
01:01:19go right
01:01:20down the drain.
01:01:24And patience
01:01:25is a pipe dream.
01:01:28Holy
01:01:28f***
01:01:29God.
01:01:30That was it.
01:01:34What did male
01:01:35believe
01:01:35in this vehicle?
01:01:37The male's
01:01:38got links
01:01:38with violence
01:01:40and he's been
01:01:41known to make off
01:01:42in the past.
01:01:44In Northumberland,
01:01:45Jamie and Moyer
01:01:46are looking
01:01:47for a wanted driver
01:01:48with a serious record
01:01:49and several other units
01:01:51have joined
01:01:52in the hunt.
01:01:54A-356,
01:01:55so we're going
01:01:55to head towards
01:01:56the tunnel cell
01:01:57from the A-R-C.
01:02:002-4-4-5,
01:02:01arm limit
01:02:02to spawn
01:02:02flip of the A-90.
01:02:05We'll just try
01:02:05and get all
01:02:06the eggs
01:02:07in a row
01:02:07before we try
01:02:08and get them
01:02:08stopped.
01:02:09Sounds like
01:02:09we're trying
01:02:10to come up
01:02:10with a plan
01:02:11here now.
01:02:12If you've got
01:02:13opportunity to
01:02:14fairly sting
01:02:14the vehicle,
01:02:16then just sting it.
01:02:17All options
01:02:18go over
01:02:18and the pursuit
01:02:19will be authorized.
01:02:20It's coming
01:02:20northbound
01:02:21through the tunnel,
01:02:21but I think
01:02:22it's been
01:02:22standing traffic
01:02:23for a while,
01:02:24so it's going
01:02:25to be a bit
01:02:25difficult
01:02:26trying to get
01:02:26a sting on it,
01:02:27I think.
01:02:30I'm asking
01:02:31them to pass
01:02:31the lift.
01:02:35Good one
01:02:35to get stopped.
01:02:37Try and take it
01:02:37by the end
01:02:38of the surprise.
01:02:39We've got a couple
01:02:40of unmarked cars
01:02:41in the area,
01:02:42so it'd be good
01:02:44to just try
01:02:44and keep arms
01:02:45on it
01:02:45and then try
01:02:46and get some
01:02:47tactics in play.
01:02:49See,
01:02:50they're all
01:02:50playing to our hands.
01:02:51We're in the area.
01:02:59Vehicle,
01:03:00it's three ahead
01:03:01of me.
01:03:02Where's he?
01:03:04I'm out.
01:03:05I'm out there.
01:03:06The police
01:03:07is 70.
01:03:12We're unmarked.
01:03:13It hasn't reacted
01:03:14to my presence yet.
01:03:17And now we are
01:03:18overhead,
01:03:19the telemeters on.
01:03:19with you,
01:03:26with you now.
01:03:27Check it,
01:03:27five or six vehicles
01:03:29behind you.
01:03:32So we're going to
01:03:33look for a tactical box,
01:03:35so the idea is
01:03:35we're going to have
01:03:36to try and keep
01:03:37very close to Ben.
01:03:40Jamie,
01:03:40put it on,
01:03:41close it up.
01:03:41stop.
01:03:50Turn the engine off.
01:03:51I possibly can't stop.
01:03:54Stay in the car,
01:03:54stay in the car,
01:03:55stay in the car,
01:03:56stay in the car.
01:03:57There's only one occupant.
01:03:59There's a four in there,
01:04:00is there?
01:04:00What do you use from now?
01:04:02At the minute,
01:04:03you're just reading
01:04:03to you.
01:04:05That's the mail.
01:04:06Intel was that
01:04:07it was carrying
01:04:07a wanted mail,
01:04:08so we'll just figure out
01:04:09if the wanted mail
01:04:10was within this vehicle.
01:04:22Jamie,
01:04:23have you seen that?
01:04:23What's that?
01:04:24And then we've got
01:04:32one of this as well.
01:04:37A load of cash
01:04:38in a couple of the
01:04:40jackets in the car.
01:04:42Can I have a check on
01:04:45one of the passengers
01:04:45from this vehicle, please?
01:04:48Yeah, he is recorded.
01:04:49He's actually shown
01:04:49how standing matters.
01:04:50I identify a driver
01:04:52whilst disqualified,
01:04:53dangerous driving
01:04:54so I'm with no insurance.
01:04:56Received.
01:04:57We've got one person
01:04:58who's wanted,
01:04:58not the person
01:04:59we're initially looking for,
01:05:00but the lad,
01:05:01he's wanted for
01:05:02driving offences.
01:05:03He's gone to a cell anyway.
01:05:23Obviously, we thought he was
01:05:29going to be carrying
01:05:30a wanted mail,
01:05:31but we haven't got him,
01:05:34but it's been carrying
01:05:35a wanted mail nonetheless anyway.
01:05:37Someone different
01:05:38who's been wanted
01:05:39for driving offences.
01:05:41Good result in the end.
01:05:43Didn't get one man,
01:05:44but his deal will come
01:05:46and then we'll,
01:05:47at least we've got
01:05:47someone else in the bins.
01:05:48Apparently all the cash
01:05:52was due to
01:05:53buying and selling gold.
01:05:56So I'll be asking
01:05:58for my P45 tomorrow
01:05:59and I think
01:05:59I'm buying and selling
01:06:01some gold.
01:06:02Change of occupation?
01:06:03Yeah.
01:06:04Gold seller?
01:06:05Be like that
01:06:06with one of them
01:06:06big monocle things
01:06:07where they're looking
01:06:08at gold.
01:06:08I don't know
01:06:08if that's how many
01:06:09buy and sell gold.
01:06:10I'd probably buy one bit
01:06:11and then make it
01:06:12a loss on it,
01:06:12be like bankrupt.
