S6 E2 • Tip-Offs and Tearaways

Britain's motorways are getting busier and with fewer officers on the road the motorway cops often need the public to tip them off about illegal cars and drivers. PCs Dale Anderson and Doug Lofthouse receive a radio report of an overturned car on the motorway and head off on foot to search for the missing driver. In Bradford, PCs Mike Wroe and Chris Spencer are on a night shift when they spot a car driving erratically. As soon as they take a closer look the driver puts his foot down and they give chase through the back streets and alleyways in the north of the city. The driver abandons the car near a park and as the cops investigate they are approached by the driver, who gives them a confession that takes them by surprise. PCs James Alderson and Paul Crabtree respond to an anonymous tip-off about a car that might be involved in drug dealing. After finding the car and following it, the cops box in the driver at the roadside and quickly apprehend the suspects. While some tip-offs come at a moment's notice, others require more planning and patience. Matt Hemingway and Aidy Brown are parked up just off the M62 bypass in Castleford on the lookout for a driver suspected of having a revoked licence. When they find him, he's surprised to discover that his car is being taken away, leaving him with no mode of transport for his daily commute. Back in Bradford, PC Bob Hoyle responds to a call of burglars making their way from the scene of the crime. When he stops the car full of lads and questions them they deny everything. But what they don't know is that they were caught on camera, proving that help from the public can make all the difference in the cops' fight against crime.

S6 E3 • Riding into Trouble

PCs Dale Anderson and Doug Lofthouse receive a radio report of a serious motorbike crash and the cops respond to find a young rider of an off-road bike with life-threatening injuries. An air ambulance lands near the residential street in an attempt to save his life. On the A1 motorway, PCs Michelle Rookes and Brian Harrison are parked up in a layby using a laser gun to check drivers' speeds. When a car speeds past at 98mph, and the driver is pulled over, his name and account of his driving history doesn't match the information on the Police National Computer. The cops begin to get suspicious that the driver isn't who he says he is and after some probing questions he finally confesses, giving the cops a surprising excuse for trying to deceive them. It's close to midnight and PCs Simon Ellis and Mark Maiden are patrolling the M62. They stop a young motorbike rider who explains that his insurance runs out at midnight, but after a quick check the insurance records show that in fact his policy expired the night before. The cops have no option but to confiscate the bike and give the rider a ticket, but not wishing to leave the young man stranded on the motorway Simon and Mark give the rider a lift home. In Dewsbury, PCs Richard Clarke and Andy Howarth are working the night shift when they spot a car drive past with a potentially illegal number plate. While the teenage occupants give the cops some banter the cops smell something suspicious - cannabis. A search turns up a small amount of the Class B drug and when it's confiscated the friendly driver is given a street caution. In South Bradford, there's a report of a serious collision involving another motorbike and a car. PCs James Alderson and Dick Infield respond to find an injured rider being treated in an ambulance and the driver of the car missing. With the rider seriously injured, finding the car driver is critical in investigating who or what was at fault. Back in Dewsbury, Andy and Richard are in pursuit of a known disqualified driver. The cops follow the car for twenty minutes, pushing twice the legal speed limit, before the chase leads into a cul-de-sac and the car is forced to stop. The driver switches seats with a passenger, but the cops are right behind it and arrest the driver, now claiming innocence sat in the back seat. The driver was convicted of dangerous driving and driving without a licence and sentenced to 15 months in prison.
