Motorway Cops Catching Britain's Speeders S06E01 (24th June 2024)
Transcript
00:00I'm just going to push it over there so it's out of the way, do you know what, secretly
00:07I'd love to have a little go at it. Scooter cops!
00:11In Newcastle city centre, the rider of an electric scooter has crashed into a parked
00:18car.
00:19Deep breath in mate, just blow into that for us please.
00:21And the results are in for PC Jan Schiemlischer.
00:25He's hammered, he's blown double over the limit. Not every night you see a 61 year old
00:29drunk on a motorised scooter just flying about the town centre.
00:35He's landed straight on his face, he looks quite sore, but I think his head is going
00:41to hurt more than anything in the morning.
00:49UK police forces have been sent over 100,000 dash cam clips, exposing the most dangerous
00:57drivers on our roads.
01:00All hell has broken loose on our highways.
01:05You on a lesson? At least it wasn't your test.
01:09We join the motorway cops of Northumbria police.
01:12Shall we gun? Why aye, of course we're gunning.
01:17As they drive criminals of the North East off the roads.
01:21Crash, crash, crash.
01:23And put the deadliest drivers behind bars.
01:27Stand still, tears out.
01:29You want to tell us who you are?
01:31I'm a police officer, what do I look like? Am I in fancy dress?
01:34Do whatever you want. Do you want to arrest me? Do it.
01:36I'll let the dog out on you.
01:37I'm getting a little bit bored of you now.
01:39Jazz, watch your moppings.
01:41Helping them in their battle with idiots behind the wheel is dash cam.
01:47It's vital evidence.
01:48Does everyone have any dash cam at all?
01:50And proof that Britain's dumbest drivers.
01:53Bloody idiots.
01:55They are a law unto themselves.
01:58Police one, criminal nil.
02:08Tonight, criminals are taken down.
02:15Means you're tired of me driving it.
02:17Suspected drug dealers dress down.
02:19Underneath your gown or just your trousers?
02:21No.
02:24Do you want to fasten that up again?
02:28What's your name then?
02:29George.
02:30And learner drivers dumbed down.
02:32Spell George for us.
02:34G-E-O-R-G-E-R-O.
02:38George.
02:40Mate, give us your real details.
02:42In their fight against crime, Northumbria police make over 27,000 arrests a year.
02:51And at Etole Lane station in Newcastle, cops know a good time to catch the bad guys is after dark.
02:59Night shifts are definitely the best.
03:01I think you get the more exciting job.
03:03It's a lot of fun.
03:05It's a lot of fun.
03:07It's a lot of fun.
03:09It's a lot of fun.
03:12Tonight, PC Brian Camsell is leading the charge.
03:16Sort of.
03:18This is laser tuner working.
03:20This is the battery spot.
03:27Right, it's all the kit ready, let's go.
03:34Behind every successful motorway cut is a high-tech car.
03:38All me emergency lighting on the top there.
03:41I've got me alarm stack, so all of the NPR cameras across the force feedback into my mobile device.
03:47Not quite a James Bond car. I'd like a few more gadgets.
03:50But if the equipment works well and without it, I wouldn't be as safe as I am.
03:57Tango 1286 on Tango 17, please.
04:00Northumbria's very own 007 could also teach Q a thing or two.
04:05I like mechanics and engineering.
04:07Just all self-taught.
04:09At the age of three, I was a little bugger.
04:12My dad left a screwdriver.
04:14I was caught taking door handles off and electric sockets off the wall.
04:17I still hate to tell the tale.
04:21We're going to do Newcastle today.
04:23It's an area where there's a lot of cars.
04:25We're going to do Newcastle today.
04:28It's an area I've worked for years.
04:30I tend to get some decent results in the city centre.
04:32And during a night shift, it's the highest chance of finding somewhere.
04:35Living the dream out in my patrol car, seeing what I can get a hold of.
04:41Three, I've got a call in, check me out.
04:43Mark, we're in the vehicle scene. It's a pool car.
04:52Across the network of NPR cameras, we've had a sighting for a vehicle.
04:57There's an intelligence on it that it may be a pool car.
05:02We're going to do Newcastle today.
05:04It's an area I've worked for years.
05:06I tend to get some decent results in the city centre.
05:09It's a vehicle that a lot of different people use it.
05:13Quite often it's up to criminality.
05:16Anything from simple shoplifters to burglaries and drugs of some sort.
05:25I don't know whether I'm going to be able to catch up with it because I'm a little bit behind now.
05:29It could have gone a number of ways.
05:39As the suspect's car activates another camera, Brian picks a spot to lie in wait.
05:46Brian picks a spot to lie in wait.
06:06We're in that vehicle now, requesting assistance from tackling trained units, air support and dogs.
06:12We're literally held on the other side of the line. When you turn, we're falling back.
06:24Right, right, right, it's off road. This is now a pursuit.
06:31Coming out onto Richardson Road.
06:34Across Moorbeth Street.
06:37And a right, right, right.
06:41It's going to be a day camp.
06:56When darkness falls on our roads.
07:01Dash cam plays out like a scary movie.
07:07With jump scares.
07:11Unpredictable twists and turns.
07:15Come on, idiot.
07:16And just when you think it's over.
07:18Wow.
07:19There's one last fright.
07:21Whoa!
07:22F*** the bed.
07:27Coming out onto Richardson Road. This is now a pursuit.
07:31In Newcastle, Brian is closing in on the driver of a car who was made off.
07:37It's going to be a day camp.
07:41White male, black tracksuit, white stretch down his sleeves.
07:46Down at the fire, police officer with tears in his eyes.
07:49Richardson Road towards the hospital.
07:52Running again towards the flats.
07:56They got away from us. We don't know where they've gone.
08:00Would you have air support nearby?
08:02Yes, sir.
08:03A police helicopter and unmarked units join the hunt for the runaway suspect.
08:09I think he's gone that way because I didn't see him go that way.
08:12Where you are, that's where I last saw him.
08:16So he's just trying to evade us at the minute.
08:18The helicopter's up, so hopefully we'll get a track.
08:21And we'll get him for our own fingers crossed.
08:28I think I've got him inside.
08:31I think I've got him inside.
08:34Tracksuit top, white stripes on the side of the arm.
08:36Confirmed, double stripe.
08:39He's trying to get into the student accommodation. I've got eyes on him.
08:42I think that's over to my left.
08:54I'm getting back.
08:56You're under arrest for dangerous driving. Feel to stop for police.
08:59Pretend that'll be.
09:01Hey, I'm sorry.
09:05There's some stuff that's come out of his pocket.
09:08And more.
09:10Further arrest on suspicion of possession with intent to supply.
09:13I think they just picked my lad up.
09:16It's for yourself, is it?
09:17Yeah.
09:19What do we do first?
09:21I don't know. I don't know what your previous is like.
09:23Obviously you're in possession of a load of drugs.
09:25You've already said you use drugs and they're your drugs.
09:28So we'll see what comes back on that.
09:34Sounds like you've damaged somebody's car as well.
09:36Have you got permission to use the car?
09:39You have, right.
09:44How come you've not got his number?
09:47Right.
09:49Right, this is your taxi.
09:51Grab yourself a seat.
09:53Are you okay? You seem to be limping a little bit.
09:55You sprained your ankle? Right.
10:08Which ankle do you think you've sprained?
10:10The left one.
10:12Yeah, it's a serious pain, right?
10:21I'm going to drug right while we're here.
10:25It'll give us an answer as to whether you're under the influence of a drug.
10:28And if you stick your tongue out for me.
10:30Stick it right out.
10:32Open your mouth wide. I'll rub your cheeks as well.
10:47Your drug wipes actually come back.
10:51You've tested positive for both cannabis and cocaine.
10:55And I'm further arresting you on suspicion of driving a motor vehicle with a controlled drug over the prescribed limit.
11:02Alright.
11:03So in layman's terms, drug drive.
11:15Can you manage?
11:16You alright?
11:17Right.
11:20Hobble that way.
11:23I've been running across the town more, Sarge.
11:25Is that why you're limping?
11:27I think I sprained my ankle.
11:53A bit of adrenaline kicked in there.
11:55Pursuit in the car.
11:57And then a hunger foot pursuit across the moor.
11:59Is it Steve Crampton aid or is it Usain Bolt?
12:01Maybe not Usain Bolt.
12:03I don't know.
12:05I don't know.
12:07I don't know.
12:09I don't know.
12:11I don't know.
12:13I don't know.
12:15I don't know.
12:17I don't know.
12:19I don't know.
12:21Absolutely no Usain Bolt.
12:23Maybe not Usain Bolt.
12:25I probably would of caught him a bit quicker.
12:27Can't grumble and certainly a lot happier there is wound in the cells because of it.
12:45Smells lovely that now.
12:47Nice and fresh today.
12:49awful smell coming from my locker.
12:52Didn't know what it was, so I've assumed it to be my vest.
12:54Washed it, could still smell the smell.
12:56Turns out that it was a three-week-old pasta
12:59that'd been sat rotting away in my kit bag.
13:01So that's gone, and it's nice and fresh in there now.
13:06Got everything.
13:12When it comes to crimes against food,
13:14PC Martin Anderson's a repeat offender.
13:20If the kids were asked who makes the best packed lunch,
13:23I think they'd probably say me,
13:24because I've put things in that I probably shouldn't put in.
13:27Basically school contraband.
13:29There's loads of times where they've come back home
13:31with little treats and sweets that I've put on the packed lunch
13:34and they've been like,
13:35the dinner nanny wouldn't let us have it because it's sweet.
13:37So I've probably just got my face up in the staff room.
13:40Dinner lady's most wanted.
13:44Today for us, it's gonna be patrolling.
13:47Using our own sort of copper's nose
13:49to see what we can spot, anything that catches our eye.
13:52Get the cars stopped that need to be stopped.
13:54Raring to go, which is bad news
13:56for the criminals of the world.
14:06I've just spotted a black Renault Laguna.
14:09It's just caught my eye.
14:10It's got a couple of young lads in it.
14:13I'm gonna go and have a look at it.
14:15It's just caught my eye.
14:15It's got a couple of young lads in it.
14:17The car looks to be of a bit of a poor state of repair
14:20as well.
14:21We're just gonna try and get caught back up to it now.
14:26Angle 461, Albie.
14:28Go ahead.
14:29Vehicle check, please, on Station Road.
14:31Sure, it's a sell.
14:33That's received.
14:34It does come back as registered and insured,
14:36but I'm still not 100% happy with it.
14:38A lot of this role is, you know,
14:40things will catch your eye and you sometimes do rely
14:42on your sort of gut instinct a little bit
14:44that if something doesn't quite look quite right,
14:46it usually is the case.
14:49We'll get it stopped and make sure it is the person driving
14:52that should be.
15:07Afternoon.
15:09Handling that, you'd like?
15:09Aye, sorry, mate.
15:11No bother, mate.
15:12Is this your motor, is it?
15:13I'll include my name as well.
15:15What's your name, then?
15:16My name's George.
15:17George.
15:18Come and have a seat in here.
15:19Let's just do some checks on you, mate.
15:22Have you got any ID on you at all?
15:24No, no.
15:25What's the crap with your licence?
15:26I haven't got one, mate.
15:27Have you not?
15:28I don't know how your teachers drive, mate.
15:30Well, so without help plates?
15:39Have you got anything ID-wise at all?
15:42A bank card, Facebook, out like that to show your name on?
15:45Just so I know that you are who you say you are.
15:47I haven't got my phone on this.
15:49I've got my wallet on this, mate,
15:50but I don't think I've even got any ID on me.
15:52Out in there or not?
15:53No, no.
15:55So, George, spell George for us.
15:58G-E-O-G-E-R-O.
16:04G-E-
16:06E-R-O, George.
16:09Mate, give us your real details.
16:13Oh, there we go.
16:16What you're not giving us your details for,
16:17then, are you wanted or you're disqualified or...?
16:20No, no, I haven't been disqualified.
16:21I've never been driving before.
16:23Right.
16:24I just can't be arsed for getting locked up.
16:26Well, you would have got locked up
16:28if you'd continued giving the false details, mate.
16:29Would I?
16:30But we can potentially deal with this at the roadside
16:32if it's just a case of no licence.
16:33That's a lie.
16:34Right, let's...
16:35Shall we start again?
16:36Right.
16:37Right, what's your address?
16:39Is it the one that's on here?
16:4032 or 33?
16:46No, cos I'm thinking the next door,
16:47cos I always put it in the next door's bin,
16:49cos their bin's just outside my door.
16:53Are you on the insurance for this to learn to drive, then?
16:55No, mate, no.
16:57Tell you the truth.
16:58Is he the proper owner of it as well, then, or not?
17:00No, no, he's just insured on it.
17:01Right, OK.
17:03Well, we'll deal with you first,
17:04and then we'll decide what we're going to do with him
17:06and do with the car.
17:07To drive a car, you have to have a licence.
17:09To drive a car on a public road, you need to have L plates on.
17:13Here, you've not got L plates.
17:15You're not on the insurance or anything like that.
17:16OK, mate, so I am reporting you for the offence of driving
17:19otherwise than according to the licence
17:21and driving a motor vehicle on a public road
17:23without insurance, OK?
17:26Mate, just learn how to drive properly.
17:27Just, I know it's expensive,
17:28but just get added on to the insurance,
17:30or get the L plates on and stuff like that.
17:32I didn't even know about that, mate.
17:33I just thought it was L plates, truthfully.
17:34I didn't know about the insurance.
17:35I thought as long as he was in the car with us,
17:37I could drive.
17:38I'm going to let them jump out, because you're sorted.
17:41I'm going to have a bit of a crack with your mate
17:43to see what he's got to say.
17:46All right?
17:48Why are you letting him drive the car?
17:49Teaching him how to drive.
17:51Why have you not got L plates on?
17:52They were on, so I had one on the front and one on the back.
17:55Right.
17:55Came off yesterday, we were meant to be picking up new ones.
17:57But the auto shop was shut.
18:01Have you seen the state of these tyres?
18:02The cords are all exposed.
18:04All right.
18:05I can get them changed today.
18:06My dad owns a garage.
18:08Well, it shouldn't be on the road with them.
18:09I can get new ones put on immediately.
18:11Right.
18:12Really, we should uplift the car,
18:13but I'm going to give you some benefit of the doubt.
18:14Yeah, yeah.
18:16Obviously, he can't be driving it without the L plates.
18:18You need to get him on the insurance and things like that.
18:19Yeah, yeah.
18:20How much does that cost?
18:22Got to weigh it up compared to normal lessons,
18:24haven't you?
18:25Because they're about 40, 50 quid an hour, aren't they?
18:27Oh, you're talking to the guy.
18:28Right.
18:29I'll be putting something on the computer.
18:30If I see this or anyone else sees it with that tyre on,
18:32it's three points and a fine,
18:34which you don't, no one wants.
18:35Oh, definitely.
18:36They'll have to give us an hour, though,
18:37in case we pull out and another one attacks us.
18:39They'll just, they'll not.
18:40I'll hear it if it gets checked again.
19:00We've used a little bit of discretion, to be honest.
19:02We could have seized the car,
19:03but they were pleasant enough with us.
19:05We got there in the end,
19:06after a little bit of storytelling.
19:10Driving lesson gone wrong.
19:12I don't know when I learned to drive.
19:14It certainly wasn't with someone
19:15that was sad vaping out the window,
19:16in a car that's of a very sort of poor state of repair.
19:20I don't think that lad's going to be getting headhunted
19:22by the British School of Motoring anytime soon,
19:23put it that way.
19:35See you out there.
19:40Oh, sign of things to come.
19:49I think it's dead.
19:52That's what you need for the start of the day, yeah?
19:54All right, I'll see if they've got any jump leads.
19:57PC Jan Schimlischer is more at home
19:59charging criminals than he's charging the police.
20:03He's more at home charging criminals than cars.
20:06Red to red, black to black.
20:08This is one I'm not colour blind, eh?
20:12More than a trick.
20:19Hey, it's alive!
20:23This cop car isn't the only one running on empty.
20:27Just tired, spent days off decorating.
20:30Strip paint and then repaint, move furniture.
20:33I haven't got the patience for it, it's not for me.
20:36Yeah, I'll stick to policing.
20:37Get out then, save the world.
20:49Today, Jan will be painting North Tyneside blue.
20:53And he's due a good day for brushes with the law.
20:56Sometimes you go through a spate
20:58of just finding everything every day,
21:00but going through a bit of a dry spell at the minute
21:03is starting to bother us.
21:05I'm sick of looking for things and not finding it.
21:08This must have been what Peter Crouch must have felt like,
21:10going through his dry spell at Liverpool
21:12when he didn't score for ages.
21:15I wouldn't mind being a couple of quid behind Peter Crouch.
21:28I'm just going to spin round for this van.
21:30There's a marker on it for drug supply and drug use.
21:37If the intelligence is correct,
21:39then it's important for us to stop these vehicles
21:41and carry out drug wipes, any searches,
21:44because a lot of the times,
21:46the information that we receive is bang on correct.
21:50Drivers involved with drugs are a danger on our roads.
21:54In Selby, unmarked cop cars from North Yorkshire Police
21:57are trying to stop a black 4x4 containing a wanted drug dealer.
22:04But as they go to block the car...
22:08..the pick-up truck makes a break for the hills.
22:11It's a black 4x4.
22:13It's a black 4x4.
22:15It's a black 4x4.
22:17It's a black 4x4.
22:19It's a black 4x4.
22:21The pick-up truck makes a break for the hills.
22:24It's a field. It's a field.
22:26The cops struggle to keep up with the off-road vehicle.
22:30He's got a suit. He's objectively covered.
22:33He's going cross-country, cross-country.
22:36But eventually, corner the driver, ram the car
22:39and force the wanted man to flee on foot.
22:42He's got a tailor! Stop where you are!
22:44Stop! Stop!
22:46However, his getaway is short-lived.
22:50He was found guilty of supplying heroin and crack cocaine
22:54and sentenced to five years and nine months in prison.
22:58The driver also pleaded guilty to failing to stop
23:01and was given a conditional discharge.
23:12I'm just going to spin round for this van.
23:14There's a marker on it for drug supply and drug use.
23:18Back in North Tyneside, Jan's tailing a van linked to drugs.
23:32Yes, which way's he going?
23:37Straight back out? Oh.
23:41Have a little bit of a chat with the driver.
23:43See what he's got to say for himself.
23:49When bad drivers cook up a storm on our roads...
23:54..it has all the ingredients for total carnage.
24:02It doesn't take much for anger to boil over.
24:08And there's no way to stop it.
24:11It doesn't take much for anger to boil over.
24:17And those with too much on their plate...
24:23..have plenty of food for thought.
24:26Stupid cow!
24:32Have a little bit of a chat with the driver.
24:34See what he's got to say for himself.
24:36In North Tyneside, Jan's hunted down a van linked to drug supply.
24:47Hey, mate, you all right? Yeah.
24:48Am I just knocking the van off for a second? Yeah.
24:50Is this your van? Yes.
24:51All right, can I borrow you for two minutes?
24:53We'll just sit in the back of my car. No problem.
25:00Strange attire to be driving in.
25:02Just jump in there for us, please, bud.
25:07Right.
25:10The reason I've stopped here is we've got intelligence to suggest
25:13that whoever's using this vehicle may be involved in drug supply.
25:17Right.
25:18With any drug involvement, usually comes drug use as well.
25:22Do you use any drugs, or...? No.
25:24No? Definitely not? Definitely not.
25:26OK, mate, couldn't drug wipe you as well.
25:29It's a test for cannabis and cocaine.
25:31Just lean forward, mate, and stick your tongue out.
25:35Thank you very much.
25:39It's my mate's van, like...
25:41Does he know you've got it? Yeah.
25:43Right. But you're insured to it?
25:45No. You're not? No.
25:47Right, OK. Have you got a licence?
25:49No. No? Right, OK.
25:51That van's going to have to be uplifted, mate,
25:53cos you're driving without insurance and licence.
25:56That's positive for cocaine, so I'm resting on the suspicion
25:59of driving whilst over the prescribed limit for cocaine,
26:02driving without any insurance and driving without a licence, OK?
26:05Right. Do you understand that? Yeah.
26:09Right, OK. Do you want to pop out? I'll give you a quick search as well.
26:12Have you got anything on you that you shouldn't have? No.
26:15Out underneath your gown, or just your trousers? No.
26:20Right, OK.
26:21Just cos of the information, I'm going to give the van a quick search as well.
26:24Is there anything in the van that this shouldn't be? Yeah.
26:27Where? In the back, on the shelf.
26:29Right, OK.
26:32Interesting stop for a quarter to nine in the morning.
26:35He's got strange attire. I mean, each to their own in that.
26:38But I wouldn't be driving dressed like him.
26:40Anyhow, I'm not here to get my licence.
26:42I'm here to get my licence.
26:44I'm here to get my licence.
26:46I'm here to get my licence.
26:48I wouldn't be driving dressed like him.
26:50Anyhow, I'm not here to judge.
26:52That was sent them all. Not illegal.
26:56Oh, there we go.
26:58There's more than what looked like for personal use.
27:01I'll have to sit down and count all that up.
27:03Potentially possession with intent to supply there.
27:08There we go. Who carries these round as well?
27:10That's another one he can get locked up for.
27:13Got the keys, got the secret.
27:15Got a lovely knife there.
27:17A load of snap bags with loads of white powder.
27:22So good at my job, aren't I?
27:24Yeah, I definitely deserve a coffee after this.
27:33Right, mate, so you're further under arrest for offensive weapon
27:36and possession with intent to supply, OK?
27:39Yeah.
27:47Hi, mate. All right?
27:51Well, it's nine o'clock, isn't it?
27:53Should be here any minute, I guess.
27:55If you wait long enough, you might get yourself some breakfast.
28:03Not what I was expecting on a Friday morning.
28:06I know.
28:07Were you going there for your breakfast or something?
28:09It's my mate's place. I thought it would have been open.
28:12Oh, right. I'm surprised it wasn't.
28:14It does do good pie, mate.
28:16Right.
28:24Don't let that door over there, please, mate.
28:47Ooh...
28:53Who goes out driving in their dressing gown, pyjama bottoms and slippers?
28:58He hasn't got the right footwear for driving, for one.
29:01It's certainly a nice way to get rid of a little dry patch at work.
29:05It's nine o'clock in the morning, drug driver off the road,
29:08and to top it off, a load of drugs found in the car.
29:13A little pat on the back, good work, a treat to myself.
29:17A little bit of chocolate and a long overdue coffee.
29:26Oh, it's nice.
29:29HE SIGHS
29:40Feeling good. Blue skies and the sun's out and everything.
29:43Another three degrees, we might ditch the jacket,
29:45but if it gets any warmer than that,
29:47we'll be swapping the jacket for Factor 50 suncream with my colour,
29:50and it's very sensitive.
29:52It doesn't take much for me to go all red and sore.
29:56Martin's been a cop for eight years,
29:59but his passion for police work started young.
30:02He was always destined to do this job
30:04because I used to be a massive fan of the Bill.
30:06My mum and dad apparently used to have to turn the music for the Bill down
30:09on their night-time because I would come running downstairs to watch it.
30:12But since doing this job, I don't watch that much police stuff on the TV
30:16because I get wrong off my wife because I'm like,
30:18oh, that would never happen. She's like, we just don't watch it.
30:22If anyone wants to approach us in some sort of advisory capacity,
30:26then give us a call.
30:28It'll save more marriages.
30:33We'll be south of the Tyne today.
30:35Gateshead, Sunderland, South Shields.
30:38Could be a slow day, could be a busy day.
30:40You never know which is the beauty of this job.
30:42When you get up in the morning and you genuinely don't know
30:45what you're going to be dealing with.
30:52SIREN BLARES
30:59We're looking for a black Ford Focus.
31:01It's potentially heading in towards Sunderland city centre at the moment.
31:06There's some intelligence that suggests
31:08that when officers try to stop it previously, it's made off at speed.
31:11Obviously, if it's failed to stop previously, it's got something to hide.
31:15But we'll get in the area, we'll see if we can get it stopped.
31:19Drivers who won't stop for police are a coppers' worst nightmare.
31:30In Newcastle, Martin's fellow motorway cops are in hot pursuit
31:34of a thief in a stolen Mini Cooper.
31:38The driver hurtles through the city at breakneck speeds,
31:41on the wrong side of the road.
31:43More patrols race to end his reckless driving.
31:47A roundabout puts the suspect in a spin,
31:51bringing the mayhem to a close.
31:55The driver was found guilty of burglary,
31:57aggravated vehicle taking, driving without insurance,
32:01driving while disqualified and drink driving.
32:05He was jailed for three years and banned from driving for four and a half years.
32:11We're looking for a black Ford Focus.
32:13It's potentially heading in towards Sunderland city centre.
32:17Martin is on the lookout for a car that's made off from police in the past.
32:22It's failed to stop previously, it's got something to hide.
32:30The driver was found guilty of burglary,
32:32aggravated vehicle taking, driving without insurance,
32:35driving while disqualified and drink driving.
32:38It's potentially heading in towards Sunderland city centre.
32:43It should be in this sort of facility really.
32:48There it is there, just passing us now.
32:53This is him.
32:54Hi mate. Can I just switch this off?
33:11Yeah, yeah.
33:12Well the reason I've stopped you in the way I've stopped you is
33:14apparently this car's made off from police in the past.
33:16Made off?
33:17Like took off at speed.
33:18It's just been bought by my partner.
33:23Has it?
33:24Yeah, because he's just opened a car garage.
33:26Right, it could be that it's been a previous keeper then that it's happened on.
33:30Can you come take a seat in the car?
33:33Have you got your licence on you?
33:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:35Take a seat and I'm going to put my car behind that one.
33:38Can you get me a phone and ring the partner on that?
33:40I'll grab it for you. Take a seat, let's move my car.
33:49Give me that.
33:50Right, I'm just going to shift this out of the way a bit just so we're in a better position.
33:58One second.
34:02I've been pulled over by the police for this car.
34:05Apparently it's made off by the police in the past.
34:08Do you want us to pass you the phone over to them?
34:11There you go.
34:13Hello.
34:14Are yous in the motor trade game?
34:18Right.
34:19So apparently this vehicle's previously failed to stop for police, but how long have yous had it?
34:23About two and a half, three weeks.
34:25Right, that predates when yous have had it, then it might be the previous keeper.
34:29I'll run everything through, I'll make sure it's all in order.
34:32Thanks for your time. Cheers now, cheers.
34:35When's it made off from you like?
34:37It's been back in January, so I think it's only well before yous have had it.
34:40Right.
34:41They've probably took off in it and then got shot with it straight away, so...
34:45That's the reason they've wanted to stop it to see yous driving it,
34:47in case it's the same nuggets that are using it, you know?
34:50Well, definitely not me.
34:53Have you got your licence on you?
34:54Yeah.
34:55Cheers.
34:57It's an old picture, isn't it?
34:59Oh, yeah, I know.
35:00I look fresh there.
35:02I've aged.
35:08Brilliant, that'll do me.
35:09LB, can we get that marker taken off?
35:12Just to stop them getting pulled over.
35:14The intelligence predates this new keeper.
35:18Is this a T8? V90, this, isn't it?
35:21V60, this one.
35:22I want one of these.
35:23They're nice, aren't they? They're all right.
35:25What's it like on diesel?
35:27It's a petrol one.
35:28It eats the petrol away.
35:29Does it?
35:30Yeah, we do a lot of miles.
35:31Do you get a fuel card, though?
35:32Oh, I've got a fuel card, aye.
35:34Oh, really?
35:35Oh, I wouldn't like to be paying for it myself.
35:37Right.
35:38Sorry I've stopped you in that way.
35:39I've done that because I thought if it's going to go,
35:41I'll try and stop it from taking off.
35:43I didn't know what you wanted intentionally.
35:45I thought you wanted me to mount the kerb to come on,
35:47but then I didn't know whether you were trying to ram us in.
35:50I didn't know what was going on.
35:51I just wanted to stop.
35:52No, mate, that'll do me.
35:54I can't guarantee you'll not get stopped again,
35:56but I'll put something in to say that it's been checked,
35:58it's all in order, it's got a new keeper.
36:00Not really asked, as long as I'm not getting locked up.
36:03No bother, mate.
36:04Thanks for your time.
36:05See you later.
36:08Bye.
36:17With any sort of intelligence that there's someone using the car
36:20who's willing to do stupid things, we've got to stop them.
36:23You know, that's us doing our job.
36:25But it's always nice to find that it's changed hands
36:27and it's now with someone sensible.
36:29He was a nice guy, had a good, big conversation with him
36:32about fuel consumption.
36:34I don't mind admitting that I'm quite a boring person,
36:36so fuel consumption gets us going, you know.
36:55Are you going to be getting into the gym then?
36:57What do you mean, man?
36:59What's that filled with, helium balloons?
37:01Just, like, loads of clothes.
37:03Are they ones that you're hoping to fit into eventually?
37:05You've inspired us, Jamie.
37:07I'm sure I've got something saved on my phone,
37:10just accidentally on purpose.
37:12Back at Eagle Lane station,
37:14Jan needs PC Jamie Leslie's help to identify a person of interest.
37:21Who's this?
37:22Proper handsome lad, isn't he?
37:24I'd just like to say that isn't my hand.
37:26I wasn't that size and have really small hands.
37:29It looks like Jamie's here. Jamie, I think, there.
37:32How much weight have you lost?
37:3450 pounds.
37:35Have you?
37:36Oh, yes.
37:37You'll not understand, there's a place called a gym where you can go,
37:41you do your thing and then you look like this.
37:43I thought every time you mentioned Jim,
37:45that was just, like, your best mate.
37:47Well, yeah, yeah.
37:48He's sometimes there and we just go into the vending machine
37:50and stuff like that.
37:52Oh, car's nice and clean.
37:54Oh, I'm high up.
37:58Oh, goodness gracious.
38:00Great balls of fire.
38:09Where are we going tonight, then?
38:11We'll go round North Tyneside.
38:14Just cos we know them really well, don't we?
38:16Yeah, just be alert, see what comes out of the play.
38:19Not much moving at the moment, though, is there?
38:21No, it's pretty quiet.
38:22We'll find something, though.
38:30What was that?
38:31A car?
38:32Yeah.
38:36It's absolutely flying.
38:40It could have so easily killed somebody.
38:45It's wanting to stop quickly.
38:47It's just...
38:48If it's wanting to stop quickly,
38:50it's certainly not going to do it.
38:52Tango 10-50.
38:53A red Honda Civic Type R.
38:55It is recorded with intel,
38:57but it was stopped travelling at excessive speed.
39:02Is that it down there?
39:03Yeah.
39:06Does he know what to speed behind him yet, or not?
39:19Some drivers behave like naughty kids.
39:23What are you doing?
39:26They refuse to share.
39:30Never do what they're told.
39:32Double red light, you f***ing idiot.
39:36They've now got a red light, that's why they've stopped.
39:38Watch the cyclist, you should be good to go.
39:40And love to tell tales.
39:42The cyclist is going to go through.
39:44The best way to deal with childish drivers,
39:46give them a time out.
39:48Oh, thanks so much.
39:58What was that?
39:59A car?
40:00Yeah.
40:01It's absolutely flying.
40:04In North Shields, a sports car has blown past Yankee.
40:08In North Shields, a sports car has blown past Yan and Jamie.
40:11You could hear them before you saw them, couldn't you?
40:13Aye.
40:15Does he know what to speed behind him yet, or not?
40:19Give him a little shout in his ear.
40:23Get them stopped on their normal.
40:30I'll just wait here, just in case he does decide to do something silly.
40:34I'll just wait here, just in case he does decide to do something silly.
40:42Hello, mate.
40:43You all right?
40:44Can you knock my engine off for us for two seconds?
40:46Just come and have a sit in the back of the car for two minutes, thanks.
40:50Have you had anything to drink or anything to eat?
40:52No, no, I've just got your flute working back.
40:54Hiya, mate, you all right?
40:55Hello, mate.
40:57The reason that stopped is obviously just the impossible quite quick there, mate.
41:01It's the ABS, it's my traction control, and that's not got on the car.
41:06So every time that I go up the revs, it, you know...
41:11The what?
41:12The wheel spins and stuff when I go up the revs.
41:17As I come up the roundabout, I was in third gear and I put my foot down a bit.
41:21But that doesn't explain your speed.
41:23I wasn't going fast.
41:25You were going so quick that I couldn't tell when you went past me
41:29whether it was a motorbike or a car.
41:31So that might give you an idea of your speed.
41:34Have you been stopped before?
41:35No, I didn't.
41:36What was that for?
41:38He says I was going fast, but I wasn't.
41:41Right, OK.
41:42Is that the same at night?
41:43Yeah.
41:44It's that exhaust, I need to take it off.
41:46Honestly, it makes it sound like you're going faster than you actually are.
41:49You've had nothing to drink, have you?
41:50No, no.
41:51It's how I fly to work.
41:52All you're supposed to do is work and that's it.
41:54So where do you work?
41:55I'm just a bus driver.
41:58So you're a professional driver?
42:01Just to make sure that you haven't had a drink,
42:02I'm going to require your roadside specimen of breath aid, OK?
42:06Deep breath in, mate.
42:07Just blunt it like that, I'll hold it.
42:12Excellent.
42:14That came back as a positive reading, OK.
42:19So I'm arresting you on suspicion of driving whilst over the prescribed limit of alcohol.
42:24I'll just move that so it's not blocking that.
42:26Right.
42:31I'm going to request your roadside specimen of breath aid, OK?
42:34Deep breath in, mate.
42:35Just blunt it like that, I'll hold it.
42:38Excellent.
42:44We do, mate.
42:46I'm probably soberer than you.
42:47How could you possibly be more sober than me?
42:49You've just blown 58 on the...
42:5058?
42:51Yeah.
42:52The legal limit's 35.
42:58That's even more concerning to me.
43:01Maybe you shouldn't have drunk before you got behind the wheel.
43:04You've made the decision, haven't you?
43:06And it's more concerning that you've just told us
43:08that you've actually been driving buses for the last three, four hours.
43:13You've already been spoken to in relation to your speed.
43:16Yeah, you've decided to continue driving that manner, haven't you?
43:21That's not the case at all.
43:22That doesn't control your speed.
43:27It doesn't control your foot on the accelerator, though.
43:29More excuses?
43:30I think you need to start thinking and taking a little bit of responsibility for your actions.
43:37Cheers.
43:41I used to have one of them.
43:42It was mint.
43:43I had the Vekra for four years.
43:45Hadn't any bother.
43:47As soon as I've had that, everybody I'm getting pulled.
43:49Just because I've got tinted windows is a god-spoiler.
43:52That wasn't the reason you were stopped, mate.
43:54It was just due to the way you were driving.
44:13What's his problem?
44:15Right attitude problem on him, didn't he?
44:17He had every excuse going in the book tonight.
44:20I can't comprehend why people still get behind the wheel, like drunk.
44:25Especially doing a driving job.
44:26Like, there's only one word to describe him.
44:29Silly sausage.
44:31Yeah, that's two words, isn't it?
