03:07are primed for any crime that comes their way
03:16taser working oh yeah let's go i'll drive just because i'm more skilled

03:27time

03:40all right 21 and a half at the minute 21 degrees with us two in the car as well it's gonna be about 45 degrees
03:45isn't it ready for action
04:00no besides for me best place in the world uh you can be sunning yourself on the beach cliff hops one
04:05minute within a short drive you're out in the countryside out with the dog and the kids
04:11as much as i love going away on holiday there's nothing beats viewing that humber bridge knowing
04:16that you're back home it's like a comfort blanket into look at that perfect
04:24i love policing in the area you've been in seven years i've done eight we're almost like veterans
04:31that's it yeah you just don't know what you're coming into so you never know what's going to happen
04:35and that's the excitement for me we'll be heading to the south bank covering the motorway fast road
04:44network so we're in a position to respond to any incident and when this dibble crewed unit's out and
04:49about two biggest units on the biggest roads
05:03that's me sundaro in blue giving away to westbound they believe they contain a male wanted burglary
05:10to be offensive he's also got warnings of the weapons files and rub
05:21this vehicle has traveled out of grimsby he's as wanted
05:28the vehicle's also shown is having no insurance so it could be if we try and stop him we might fail to stop
05:32go ahead obviously he's wanted i just wondered if we've got any other teapack resources anywhere near
05:42to the bridge i'm up to the center at the minute but i can't start making that way
05:48can you put me on that one please it's a good few miles down the road there's a chance it could have
05:53turned off anywhere but we're just going to hold here and see if it comes past us
05:57can you see from that because i can't see yeah because you're right mate massive head
06:05sorry your average sized head
06:16there it is there it is underneath us now
06:19it's just gone underneath the m180 junction five it looks like one male occupant
06:40it's lane three
06:45i don't want to get right up close to it
06:47matt and redders need to tread carefully criminals behind the wheel will risk everything to avoid capture
06:59in newcastle northumbria police are pursuing a wanted driver
07:04who fancies himself as a filmmaker
07:06the wannabe spielberg hits the gas dangerously overtaking a bus on the wrong side of the road
07:21hurtling down a busy high street
07:23the reckless suspect
07:29the reckless suspect only just misses a pedestrian the dramatic pursuit takes another twist when the
07:37the driver calls the cops
07:38and pretends to have a child in the car
07:49but officers see through his lies
07:52and strike to end the chase
07:54the man was found guilty of dangerous driving and failure to stop he was given a two-year community order 200 hours unpaid work
08:06and banned from driving for two years
08:16that's it from zero in blue they believe they contain a male wanted
08:22third three offenses there it is there it is
08:30in north lincolnshire matt and redders have hunted down a wanted driver
08:34hang on has it gone into the hard shoulder standby standby standby standby standby
08:46yeah there it is looks like it's got a blowout
08:50tango bike one three the subject vehicle stopped on the hard shoulder if any of the patrols behind
08:55us can get there other we've had to pass it
09:00roger
09:09we're just going to have to spin around in the next junction and try and get back
09:12round it wasn't going to be safe to slam on um when we're in lane three of the motorway
09:17i'd like to think he's going to go anywhere too soon
09:19second bike one three confirm either of those units are with that vehicle now
09:23negative it looks like it's probably moved on
09:32just confirm is the vehicle still there or has it moved off we're just going to hold at junction four
09:39it's moved off
09:43i wonder if it's seen us pulled over and then waiting for us to pass so it should come up to us in a minute
09:53what's that there there it is there it is
10:04tango bike one three sighting of the vehicle
10:06there's enough drama on the roads
10:25to rival a soap opera
10:27oh my god that was close with chaos at the crossroads
10:35and not so friendly neighbors
10:40some drivers are lucky they don't end up in casualty
10:53what's that line

11:49just get ready in case he goes hard shoulder again
11:51yeah
11:55we're trying what we can to avoid a pursuit hopefully the other cars can catch up before we run out of motorway
12:00it's going to be a bit touch and go at the minute we've only got a few miles left
12:08left in the middle way
12:15it's just swerved left going into lane one now
12:17i think he might come off here

13:19are you calling these pages
13:21jeez a mad user absolutely crazy
13:30you in
13:31i can't i want to put the seatbelt on but
13:43a bit hectic for a few minutes that
13:50that's maybe why he stops on the hard shoulders just put his shoes back on properly
14:02we started just south of the umberbridge and then we've ended up at junction 33 on the m62 so
14:07we used a fair bit of fuel i think but in the end we've got the man that was after
14:12before he potentially commits any further offences the afternoon's exploded into action
14:32coming through
14:35it's always nice to get a nice clean car at the beginning of the shift he gets the bush because
14:39sees lethal with his jet wash manual labor at melton station nothing escapes pc adam barley's
14:48attention you don't want to watch this bit liam especially when it comes to the state of his
14:52colleague's car sorry have i missed a bit i think you've missed the monkey's bit on the car
14:59trust him with the bush and he didn't even wash the car
15:02what side missed a bit
15:12having freshened up the fleet adam's heading out in his own unmarked cop car to clean up the streets of
15:18his hometown happy days right i'm ready to move
15:30i'm poor born and bred all my family from hall so i'm certainly proud to police an area that you've
15:36grown up in
15:39the people from hull do get taunted a little bit about the lack of the use of hitch all the time with
15:45jackson hall has been more locally known as all
15:56yeah bomb then start looking
15:59so the humberside area is split into two um north bank and south bank the north bank is generally
16:05hull and he's riding south bank is grimsby scunthorpe and everything in between it's a big area for a
16:12traffic department if a job comes in at one end of the force it's quite a distance to travel across
16:20so today they're looking for anything that causes serious injury on the roads
16:24mobile phones speeders seat belts
16:26last year humberside police caught 50 000 speeding drivers
16:39today adam's on a mission to stop some of the worst offenders on hull's roads armed with his trusty
16:45speed gun because it's a dual carriage rare it's almost an easy road to speed on
16:52the reason it's a 40 there's roundabouts where hdvs often tip over because they go around them too
16:59fast there's a lot of entrances and exits on onto the road so what a priority has safety over getting
17:05anywhere 59 oh i love that one
17:26so
17:38still unaware of our presence at the minute but it's got blue lights and sirens behind him
17:42and he's blissfully unaware going about his normal day

25:31it looked like he was trying to make a way from march unit then
25:34another officer already on scene races on foot to capture the rider
26:04it's a hair-raising experience driving on britain's roads
26:27with too many close shaves
26:34and drivers that just don't gel

26:42there are a few highlights on the highway

29:04Talk about wrong place for him, right time for us.
29:08Just getting kit ready for night shift.
29:22Coat, bag and bits and bobs I need to take out with us.
29:26Ready to go.
29:28Hang on.
29:29No we're not.
29:30Ah, that's why I'm missing my hat.
29:32Bloody hell.
29:38Matt can be forgetful with force uniform, but never the big occasions.
29:49Being a police officer, it's my eight year anniversary in a couple of weeks.
29:52I've got a day off so I'll celebrate at home with my family.
29:56I've got wife and two kids and Elvis, my dog.
30:00My kids love the fact I'm a police officer.
30:02Catching bad guys, putting people in jail.
30:05And before coming to work, they always ask me how many bad guys I'm going to catch tonight.
30:09I usually say five or six.
30:10In Humberside at night, this can be a real mixed bag.
30:22In cities such as Hull, especially towards the city centre, in the livelier areas you'll get your drink and drug drivers.
30:28Out in Grimsby, Scunthorpe, you do tend to get more beggars.
30:33Well, it's a PC.
30:34Eight years doing nights now.
30:36It's taught me to be prepared for anything.
30:40I've had naked people come to my window.
30:43I've had violet people come to the door.
30:45At night time, when it's dark, expect the unexpected.
30:49We've got intel on this vehicle that's suspected to be driven by a disqualified driver and has no insurance.
31:14They've just passed observations for a vehicle that's just hit one of our cameras on the east of the city.
31:27It's possible a cloned vehicle.
31:29It might be that they've cloned the vehicle just for the fact that he's disqualified and doesn't want to be caught driving.
31:363-2, full start tank, start tank.
31:54Cloned vehicle leads to a parking area where a lot of people go because it overlooks the river Humber.
31:59Try and get hold of it.
32:01I'm going to have a complete loop in there.
32:06Received, I'll sit and wait at the roundabout.
32:09Roger.
32:14We're just coming up to the docks now.
32:18Colleagues have got sighted the vehicle.
32:20It's parked up with a single male occupant in the driver's seat.
32:23The engine's off at present time.
32:25There's only one way out, in and out.
32:27We'll come up with a plan to try and prevent any high-speed pursuit.
32:39We know it can only come out this way.
32:41Yeah.
32:42We can do a two-car box, so one of us at the front, one at the back.
32:45Yeah.
32:46Did you want to take the front?
32:47Yeah.
32:48Do it that way, yeah?
32:49Yeah, we'll go in then.
32:50Let's try and see what the car is going on.
33:00Let's try and see what the car is doing.
33:01Let's try and see what the car is going on.
33:03Obviously, we've been and we did it.
33:04So I used to af

33:43understand everything we just got to the chest and is it correct that you haven't got insurance

34:02yes he just said he knows it's on false plates he said that i ain't gonna lie about no i've been
34:09caught doing something stupid obviously i know you're gonna throw the book at me but

36:33concern of a happy customer but maybe not so happy he was more of it about um
36:39potentially damaging his grill and being arrested whereas if it had just been more bothered about

39:59police to sting the vehicle in the car park
40:01drive drivers who risk it all on the roads
40:18Drivers who risk it all on the roads can get there just desserts.
40:28Sticky situations make some drivers crumble, leaving them with a soggy bottom.
40:48Observations for a blue Freelander.
40:58We've just had an activation on a vehicle that's connected to a burglary.
41:06The vehicle's being sighted, driving into McDonalds.
41:12Plan is to sting a vehicle in the car park.
41:16In Hull, Moff and two other units are ready to pounce on a suspected thief, picking up his fast food.
41:243-3, sting a goal.
41:323-3, successful sting.
41:34Go to your popcorn.
41:41Charge room, charge room.
41:46You're going to be arrested for suspicion.
41:56Burglary.
41:57Why the?
41:58Ernst, do you nap?
41:59This vehicle's conceding Luke at speed.
42:01I've seen her burglary.
42:02Ernst, do you nap?
42:03Yeah, this time we can't confirm it's stolen.
42:08He's trying to claim he's borrowed it.
42:11Why is it displaying them plates?
42:13It links to a different Freelander.
42:15Why is a steering rack like that?
42:17Has it been tampered with?
42:18All the stereo and everything's ripped out.
42:20What's again suspicious?
42:22We'll have a look in the boot.
42:25See what there is.
42:29Ah yeah, there we go.
42:31We've got the original plate that the car's linked to.
42:34The fact that we've got the original plate there would show that someone has consciously swapped in plates, so why are they doing that?
42:42And loads of tools like snips and screwdrivers, etc. They are tools that would gain entry to places.
43:01Further arresting you and that's unsuspiciously granted up to steal.
43:04I can prove it's from my girlfriend, mate.
43:06I'll just put it to my left.
43:07You're going to let me finish?
43:08They're just driving.
43:09They're just going far driving.
43:11I'm driving with no insurance.
43:13F***ing sick.
43:16I know I shouldn't be even driving.
43:18I'll just be like...
43:22What, I bought my phone.
43:23I bought my phone.
43:24You got?
43:25I bought my phone.
43:26I can't at least have my drink.
43:34I blew up.
43:58Spot on team work.
43:59I've stopped a pursuit happening, which ultimately is the perfect outcome.
44:06When I was a lot younger, I was really bad for Mackey's,
44:09and I used to call it Moff Donalds, because I was there all the time,
44:12but not so much now.
44:14I think my palate's developed.
44:15I prefer lobster.
