SIREN WAILS
Luxury German motors are a perk of being a cop,
and thrilled to be driving one tonight...
...Rob Eley alongside co-pilot Dan Machin.
152, we're not far. We're going to have a look.
They're part of a pack of interceptors hunting
for a black Astra, which has been reported as taken without consent.
Meadow Lane? Remind me, Dan.
Straight down.
Yeah, got it. I remember now.
Another unit have got behind the Astra.
We'll be caught up in 30 seconds, caught up behind you.
É
Rob takes up position as car two.
There you go.
Ancl within seconds, the target's got six interceptors
and a police dog in his rear-view mirror.
The car may not be his, but he's treating it with kid gloves.
More Driving Miss Daisy than runaway baddie.
É
Agreed.
Yeah, received.
Rob's an advanced driver with 12 years on the force.
He's an adrenaline junkie who's at his happiest going full throttle
in a theme park.
But a roller-coaster ride looks off the cards tonight -
the driver's pulling up, as good as gold.
F
é
If something seems too good to be true...
Boys, we have a runner.
...it probably is.
The driver's decided to take his chances on foot.
Police with a dog! Stop, stop! Stop there! Police...
Stop, stop! Police with a dog!
He's made a beeline for the back gardens...
SHOUTING
Round the back, round the back!
...and cleared a fence like a thoroughbred...
Rambo! Rambo! Over, over, over! Get over!
...followed by police dog Rambo...
Go on, mate. Go on.
...and Rambo's handler, Coups.
Get the gate if you can.
RAMBO BARKS
The suspect's fence-hopping for England...
Do you want... Can you get over?
...so the team divide...
Have we got him?
...and conquer.
Get up. Get up.
Rob's collared the driver.
Oh, what do you think?
INDISTINCT SPEECH
What's your name?
Come on, then let's get walking.
Have you got a licence?
Have you got insurance?
So why'd you run, then?
Scared of what?
Unfortunately for this sprinter, Dan never forgets a face.
I think you've got a provisional licence.
Oh, so you haven't got a licence, then?
Dan's bang on.
He's got no licence,
no insurance and was a fence away from being Rambo's dinner.
You almost got eaten by the dog.
And I hate running.
Back at the starting line, both the driver
and his mate, who stuck around, are searched.
One steady blow till I tell you to stop.
Keep going.
The runner's got enough puff to pass the breathalyser.
BOTH: Zero.
In fact, he's full of hot air.
Well, no, you didn't.
Almost? Almost's not enough, though is it? You didn't, though, did you?
It seems Nottingham's answer to Usain Bolt is a sore loser.
Yeah, and I followed you all the way, carrying 2$t of kit, mate.
Yes, I did. Of course I did, I went straight through there...
Cheated? Cheated?
LAUGHTER
What is it, a sports day? Well, exactly.
We're not playing running races, are we?
The car's owner doesn't want to make a complaint,
so the cuffs are coming off.
Oh, aye, next time the dog will have you.
But playtime's over.
So you're being reported for consideration of the question of
prosecuting you of the offence of driving without insurance,
driving otherwise in accordance with a licence.
You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention now something which you
later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
Sport Billy will get a summons to attend court.
I overtook the dog.
Despite being allowed on his way for now,
motormouth seems desperate for round two.
Q
What do you reckon, Rambo?
What, even from a dog?
You reckon you're faster than the dog, then?
OK.
If I had 100m on you, I might win the 100m race.
After a few parting pleasantries...
F
Exactly, but I'd still beat you cos I've had a head start, ain't it?
...and something for the socials, they call it a night.
Ta-ra.
Q
I'm only joking.
He did his own legs, literally, because as he's come
out of the garden onto the road, he's tripped over his own feet.
His mouth did run a lot quicker than his feet did.
It's always the same though, isn't it?
Once they've been caught, they give it all the mouth.
We still ran him down. Yeah. Probably will next time, as well.
1-0, Notts police. Especially now he's got a limp!
No legal action was taken against the driver for taking the car,
but he will be limping to court
for driving without a licence or insurance.
Coming up...
He's legging it now, look.
After dark, deja vu.
We just let you go. to speak to that copper, man.
You threatened to smack me.
And...
You two go forward to the door, you two go second.
...the firearms team respond to reports of a gun in the wrong hands.
His intentions are to provoke a police shooting,
so we don't want that to happen.
Stay where you are. Look at me. Do not move.
Across England and Wales, there are over 6,500 armed response
cops who can be called upon at any time to tackle the most
high-risk situations and protect those most in need.
I'm just going to come forward and put some cuffs on.
No sudden movements.
It's the early evening.

Q
Reports like this are treated with extreme caution.
The team are going to be coming through shortly,
so we won't be too long to the RV.
Lisa DeSantis and Bruce Arnold are in one of several armed
response cars en route to the address.
I'm reading this now that the sun is at a different location,
father's at his home address, and he is worried that he's
relocated this gun that he took off him, and that he may want to
harm himself with it, because he's unsure whether it's a real firearm.
Firearms cops rendezvous and kit up ready for anything.
With reports that the suspect may harm himself or incite
suicide by cop, his safety as well as the team's is a chief concern.
Fellow interceptor Lee Frith is heading up the operation.
É
F
Yeah.
So we just go in with the pistol and shield...
£
F
4
It's not just guns at the team's disposal.
They're also armed with the latest crime-fighting technology.
Using this eye in the sky equipped with a high definition camera,
they can scope out the area.
F
So the bungalow that we need to go to is just down the road.
His intentions are to provoke a police shooting,
so we don't want that to happen. We're going to be part of
the team going forward with all the necessary equipment we need,
and hopefully will get a good resolution, safe resolution.
With everyone briefed on the plan,
the interceptors make their way to the address.
I think it's actually that one there.
The reportedly vulnerable suspect could have a real gun.
Outside.
So the interceptors aren't taking any chances.
Armed with bulletproof shields, baton guns and carbines...
...they advance towards the address.
Did you say it's the other door?
Preventing anyone coming to harm is top priority.
That is the front door.
So they surround the house quickly and quietly.
The suspect's allegedly fragile state of mind means
they need to tread carefully.
Once everyone is in position...
...two officers move forward.
KNOCKING
No answer.
I think someone has confirmed he is in.
If reports are correct, the suspect could come to the door with a gun.
Door's opening.
It's a tense moment.
Hello.
É
The suspect is unarmed.
I'm not going to let you go in here.
The man may be in safe hands...
Get him away.
But it's not over until the gun's secure.
Got it!
I've got it. Just one weapon has been found.
All done?
Looks like a...
What is it? For me at this stage,
it looks like it could be potentially a blank firer.
So, if someone pointed that had me,
I wouldn't have a clue whether that was a real weapon or not.
It's got some substantial weight to it.
It's just, with the magazine that loads inside it,
at the moment, that's empty.
As operational firearms commander,
Lee's been in charge of many ops like this one,
and he's learned that, when it comes to firearms,
you can never be too careful.
He needs to check whether the weapon is clear using a download bag.
So this is a ballistically protected bag,
so that it's safe for me to point the weapon in there.
If anything was to happen, then it's contained within the bag.
So what I'm going to do is keep my finger away from the trigger,
and just try and cock the weapon, which I can do,
and I can see that that's clear.
Can you...? Mm.
It's blocked off, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah.
So that would indicate to me even further
that that's a blank firer, because...
...the breech is actually blocked so no projectile can come out of that,
but it will make a loud noise and go bang.
The gun's being removed from the address
and, for Lee, the team has achieved the best possible outcome.
So what we've got to do is protect him
and protect ourselves at every opportunity that we can,
and the only way we can protect ourselves
is make sure that we're armed. It was a discreet mode of arming.
So, unfortunately, when you dress like this, it's not very discreet.
But I think the idea is that you don't point weapons at people.
Not one gun was pointed in that direction.
A mental health nurse, accompanied by a police officer,
will travel with the suspect in a triage car, to assess his wellbeing.
His son's just worried about his welfare, and that's why we're there.
We're not there as the bad guys, we're there to...
...to help him, really, more than anything.
Sad, really.
Following this operation,
the man agreed to relinquish the blank gun for his own safety.
No legal action was taken against him.

In Mansfield, Rob Eley and Spencer Pugh
are responding to a worrying 999 call.
Someone's saying there's a bloke on the street with a knife.
We're not a million miles away, so we're just responding to it now.
The suspect's allegedly made threats to stab his mum.
It's here, next left. Is it? Oh, right.
Response cops are close,
but the boys reckon they can tackle this one on their own.
Somebody here, look.
It could be their man.
Mate, you all right?
Why are you getting a bit twitchy?
There's only two of us. Relax. Relax.
The guy's suspected of carrying a knife, and he's jumpy.
I'm not mad.
Not the best combination.
Right, mate. Turn round, put your hands behind your back.
Being detained at the minute. Turn round, face away.
Turn around for us. Give me... Give me your hand!
Relax. Chill out, mate. Chill out. Relax.
On the floor. On the floor.
F
Get on the floor, mate. Get on the floor. Relax, relax. Chill out.
Chill out. You're not going to win, mate.
You're not going to win. Relax.
BYSTANDER:
Mate, go back inside. Go back inside.
You're making it worse for yourself.
Rather than a civil conversation, the bloke's kicked off,
which usually ends one way.
Rolling him on to his back. Get him onto his back.
F
Well, how do I know when you won't talk to us properly?
Stop resisting us, you...blooming idiot.
Right, then. Stand up.
It's time for a search.
Have you got anything on you you shouldn't have?
Information that there's a person on this street with a knife.
How do I know...?
What do you keep calling me mad for?
Chill out. Relax.
Spencer joined the force 20 years ago to lock up troublemakers.
But, tonight, he's PC Peacemaker.
Right, why are you getting so agitated, mate?
F
é
Who you had an argument with? Your mum?
Well, we're here because someone's heard you saying,
"I'm going to get a knife and stab my mum."
Right, have you...?
F
But have you said that?
É
é
They're happy this is their suspect, and check for a discarded knife.
But there's no sign of any weapon.
Right, so why have you fell out with your mum
if she lives 100 miles away?
£
It's not a great reason to fall out with your mum, is it?
That's what you're mad about? You feel like stabbing your mum
cos she won't answer her phone?
Yeah, I know it is one, but it's an extreme...
é
It's an extreme thing to say, isn't it?
F
He claims his threats to stab his mum were just a figure of speech.
Right, I'm just going to have a word with these folks in here.
Spencer's off for a chat to try and figure out what's been going on.
So what's brought you here?
So do you know these people here? Hm.
And he returns with the lowdown.
Obviously, they've said you've come round here, asking for money,
asking for a knife.
And that you've been asking for a knife.
£
You also told me it was a figure of speech,
and it's OK cos your mum lives 100 miles away.
É
F
Right, how far away does your mum live?
Not 100 miles away, is it, mate?
F
The lad's fond of a turn of phrase,
but he seems all mouth, no trousers.
And, with no knife, the boys are going to let him go.
OK, so we'll uncuff you, we just expect you to go away.
Happy? I'm happy, mate, yeah. Happy to let you go.
Not happy about you acting like an idiot.
You need to chill out, cos you're getting yourself wound...
That killed you...?
É
They need to move, don't they, otherwise they won't come off.
F
Well, not everybody kicks off as much as you do, do they, pal?
£
é
He's free to leave,
and it doesn't look like they're going to swap numbers.
Let's see you get on your way.
É
OK.
Right.
You instigated that by your behaviour.
F
Well, how many...? Yeah! What else do you expect?
HE LAUGHS
Because our job... Ourjob's not to hurt you, mate.
It's to restrain you.
F
Mansfield's hardest man walking away.
F
Ta-ta, mate. Ta-ra. See ya. See ya!
The suspect's said his goodbyes...
The cops have been round to Mum's, and she's fine, by the way.
Yeah.
But it looks like he's missing Spence.
See, just clear off, pal. You're not getting the hint, are you?
OK? We said if you stay around here,
or if you go back to your mum's, you're going to get locked up.
The feeling isn't mutual.
Simple as. Go away.
The lad's finally on his way and so are the boys.
But it seems this bloke just doesn't know when to quit.
He's legging it now, look.
The suspect's running away from response cops.
What are they off to him for? What's he done?
SHOUTING
What's going off now?
We've just let you go.
Relax, get your arms behind your back.
He's suspected of making threats to assault the copper.
Threatened to smack me.
É
F
Maybe it was just another figure of speech.
It's all going off in Mansfield tonight.
You're under arrest for threatening behaviour.
You do not have to say anything
but it may harm your defence if you do not...
é
I don't care what you say.
Maybe he should choose his words more carefully
as, in court, he was convicted for threatening behaviour,
as well as two counts of shoplifting.
He received a fine and 15 days' rehabilitation.
Coming up...
Oscar Tango 8-2, got eyeball on the vehicle.
...interceptors go incognito in Mansfield...
Move up, move up. Box on, box on.
...and investigate a suspicious package in Hucknall.
Down the front of your pants, mate, you've got something.
A plastic...

Boasting a fleet of high-performance unmarked cars,
Nottinghamshire's Interceptors are often hidden in plain sight.
Unmarked cars are brilliant.
You become part of society and you can blend in.
Sometimes, they just offer us that...
...that last little few seconds or a few minutes,
just to creep up on them and then, the moment they realise
and spot the vehicle and clock on that it's the police,
it's too late for them.
They're a cracking bit of kit, really. A cracking bit of kit.
Flying solo in "a cracking bit of kit",
Phil's after a stolen Ford ST on cloned plates.
We think he's heading into the Mansfield area,
so, we're just having a wander round there just to see if we can see it.
RADIO: Can you run a search on that?
Hidden in an unmarked 3 Series,
Phil hopes to spring a surprise on the suspected car thief.
We need to be a little bit crafty with it.
We've got the unmarked cars out, so, if we do spot it,
the main aim would be to try and stop it
before it even knows any police are there.
The Ford ST is still on the move...
Ooh, where?
...and Phil's in the perfect position.
I'm at the Rufford Junction, but it's not come by yet.
The nicked Ford under false plates should appear any...
...second...
...now.
Oscar Tango 8-2, I've got eyeball on the vehicle.
The ST can reach 60 in just over six seconds,
and has a top end of 154mph.
They don't want it to run.
Got no vehicles for cover.
It's a left, left, left onto Shaftesbury Avenue.
Phil rallies the troops.
Can I have another unit heading up to Abbott Road,
just in case it comes through?
Still no vehicles for cover.
It's doing a resit, Nightingale Drive.
Vehicle speed is increasing.
Seemingly spooked by the sight of a marked car...
It's a left, left, left into the car park, Esso.
Vehicle is straight through, straight through the car park,
back on Chesterfield Road.
It looks like the driver's now clocked Phil, as well.
8-2, it would have been with our presence,
as the marked cars have gone by it.
Speed is 5-0 on Chesterfield Road.
A pursuit could be on the cards...
How many vehicles have we got in state?
...but they want to stop him before he gets the chance.
Yeah, we've got sufficient vehicles to do a three-car box.
As soon as we come to the traffic lights,
potentially look at doing it there.
With a stream of cop cars now in convoy...
Stand by, approaching the traffic light junction. It is on red.
...Phil seizes the opportunity to strike.
Stand by, stand by.
It's TPAC time.
Move up, move up.
Box on, box on.
Vehicle stopped.
All right, mate. Out you get.
It's all right. Stay there, mate. Stay where you are, all right?
Stay where you are.
A smooth manoeuvre.
By that vehicle.
In an instant, both the driver and his mate are surrounded.
Put handbrake on. Handbrake.
Out the car.
I mean, that was the best result we could have had.
Obviously, stopped, not gone to a pursuit,
er, managed to recover a car without it being damaged.
Just checked the VIN on it, it does come back to a stolen vehicle.
So, cracking result.
The vehicle is going to be seized.
The two occupants will be arrested and taken to a police station.
We've just noticed these cars smell of cannabis within the vehicle,
so, what we'll also do is, with the drivers,
go through the drug driving procedure with them, as well.
The whiff of weed has left the driver
with some questions to answer.
Hello, chap. Right, first things first.
You're under arrest on suspicion of theft of that motor vehicle,
you don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
if you don't mention when questioned
something you later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may be given in evidence. OK?
There's also a strong smell of weed in there.
When was the last time you smoked some weed?
F
You don't smoke it at all? No worries.
Also, the alcohol bottles.
When was the last time you had a drink of alcohol?
You don't drink at all?
50, deep breath for me, seal and blow.
Drivers can be tested for alcohol almost immediately.
Thank you very much.
That zero, that's fine, with that one.
But there's an eight minute wait for drugs wipe results,
so, Phil keeps himself busy.
Whoever's been using it, if it's not solely them,
they've been using it as a bit of a drug runaround car, haven't they?
É
é
He might not know anything about the stolen car,
but some name checks reveal the driver
only has a provisional licence - and, to top it off...
Ey up, chap.
Right, this has come back positive for cannabis.
So, at this moment of time,
you are also under arrest on suspicion
of driving this motor vehicle
whilst over the specified limit for cannabis.
So, we're going to be taking that down to the police station now.
So, he's under arrest for the theft of the vehicle,
we'll run through the drug drive procedure with him
down in custody, which will mean taking a blood sample
and sending that away for forensic examination.
Back at the nick, the blood samples have been taken.
During the blood procedure,
he finally admitted that he had smoked cannabis,
which I think we already knew that,
seeing as how he tested positive for it.
I mean, pretty much we've got a chap
who's only a provisional licence holder,
so, he is driving with no licence,
he's got no insurance and his driving around
in a high-powered stolen vehicle -
and not only that, he is also on drugs.
So, he is a danger.
He's somebody who should never be on the road,
and I think, to be honest with you,
they've got that illusion that they can do what they want.
So, it's just nice to be able to put a stop to it.
Following this textbook TPAC, the driver is under investigation
for drug driving and driving without a licence or insurance.
No legal action was taken against the driver or passenger
in relation to the stolen car,
and the Ford ST was returned to its rightful owner.
Nottinghamshire's specialist knife crime team

They make use of intelligence led stop and searches...
Stand still!
...and interceptor instinct...
It's gonna be 30, 40-plus in there.
...to know who to look out for...
There's intelligence linking you
to the supply and control of drugs in this area.

a mountain bike, on his phone.
Intel suggests this lad could be peddling drugs.
You all right? Stop a sec for us, pal.
So, Gav leaps out to have a word.
No, mate. The reason I've stopped due to speak to you...
...is because I recognised you from an image,
and some checks I'm aware of link you to drug supply.
I'm only gonna ask you now if you've got anything on you.
F
I'll give you a search on the misuse of drugs act, mate.
You'll get a copy of the search record.
Let me just say, though, buddy, I'm just gonna hold you,
because I don't want you running off. You wouldn't get nicked
if you had a bit of personal or anything like that, OK?
All right, buddy.
Just keep your hands where I can see them, buddy.
Nottinghamshire police
have the most successful stop and search rate in the country.
Are you OK? You look a bit nervous.
Yeah, you all right?
Dan and Gav might be about to top up the tally.
All right, mate, just spin round to me.
É
F
Whoever keeps calling will have to leave a message.
I'm just going to pop some cuffs on you,
cos I think you've got something concealed down the front...
F
Just put your hands to your back, mate.
Stinks of weed.
Right, what have you got stuffed down the front, mate?
É
Mate, I can...take you in for a strip, mate.
You got a bit of personal down there?
Right, what have you got down the front?
É
We've been through this before, haven't we?
É
Down the front of your pants you've got something...
F
Dan thinks he can feel a plastic package...
If you want to double-check, mate.
No, I trust you.
F
...but the suspect wants a second opinion.
É
You can hear it.
É
Quiet a second, mate, because I can't hear myself think.
F
You definitely...
é
We'll take him in, then, yeah? Yeah, yeah. Right.
The team are convinced the suspected drug dealer is hiding something.
É
Just grab a seat, there, for us, pal.
É
F
Because I believe, OK, I have a strong suspicion,
that I could feel some plastic,
I could hear some plastic around there.
That's why you've been taken in.
If you can tell me now that is there,
and I can fish it out here, then we can sort it.
You've got nothing on you.
So, we're gonna go down for a strip search, then, yeah?
The lad's bike will be dropped off with a relative.
In the meantime, the promise of a strip search
has sent him backpedalling.
I thought you'd be honest with me.
Let's try and sort this out, OK?
What have you got on you, mate?
OK, how much have we got?
OK, keep your hands out, mate.
OK, right. Right...
Pull out, for me, now. All right? I'm watching you.
You are out for me. OK, brill.
So, that's what we've got down there.
F
A rummage in the nether regions and a bag of suspected cannabis appears.
You're under arrest on suspicion of possessing cannabis
with intent to supply.
You don't have to say anything...
Chalk up another successful stop and search to team knife crime.
We know what's going on. Yeah, of course we do.
Intel, instinct and eagle eyes - job done.
We just took an opportunity to grab him and stop and search him,
and he's got several bags of cannabis down his pants.
His phone's ringing off the hook and he's got cash on him.
We think he's still supplying drugs.
So, we're going to take him into custody
and then we going to do some searches.
All right, happy with that, mate?
As Gav and Dan drop the cyclist off at the nick...
F
...the rest of the knife crime team search the lad's linked addresses.
Joe Riley is booking in the findings.
So, yeah, when we searched the bedroom at his grandma's address,
we found this, which just looks like, maybe,
some female make-up or something like that,
but when we've took it off, you can see the end looks like a torch,
but it's got the metal all around, and when...
IT SPARKS
...it sparks up when you press the button.
As well as what looks like a stun gun-type device,
the team have also seized a knuckle duster.
They could cause a lot of damage to somebody with one of these.
So, yeah, that's off the streets, as well.
For the suspected cannabis weeded out for his pants,
the cyclist awaits his day in court
for possession with intent to supply a class B drug.
The weapons were seized and destroyed.
Still to come...

Jeffery. Er...Wayne... Oh...
Jason.
...as Rob and Jim meet Jeffery Wayne Jason.
Jason, no middle names?
No. Are you sure? Smith.

The truth may be out there, but the interceptor files suggest otherwise.
People will always lie,
as long as they think they can get away with it.
It's just little things
like, "What's your name and date of birth?"
Everyone can reel it off, yet you'll get people stuttering.
It's just these little signs that you need to pick up on,
you need to be observant.
SIREN
It's the run up to fireworks night.
With Guy Fawkes tried and sentenced,
Rob and Jim need something else to light their fire...
Going quick, eh?
...and a sure way to catch their attention
is to rocket past like the bright spark in this Sorento.
He is going quick.
SIREN
A quick light show courtesy of the boys in blue,
and the driver pulls over.
All right, mate?
You all right? Why so quick?
Yeah, why so quick up here?
Is it yours?
The lad claims he's just picked the car up,
and he's brought his mum along for the ride.
Show us the trade plate, mate.
You didn't know that, did you?
F
Trade licence plates are individual to the user or a business,
so the speedy Sorento driver should know his number by heart.
Turn your car off, mate, please. We'll come and talk to you properly.
Jim is an interceptor of many talents.
Advanced driver, specialist firearms officer
and, with over two decades on the force...
...he even comes with a built-in lie detector.
Why are you driving up here so quick?
That's the reason we've come to talk to you.
É
But why? Tell me why.
Can you?
Yeah, but, look, it's 30, innit?
Yeah? It's residential, there could be kids looking around.
He's well versed in engine size,
but how will he fare on general knowledge?
Fingers on buzzers, here's your starter for ten.
What's your last name, bud?
Q
é
And your first name?
F
Q
é
It's not usually multiple-choice.
Jason?
I ain't convinced, with this lad. Jason?
It may not be his specialist subject,
but the driver is through to round two.
Jason, no middle names?
Are you sure?
What?
Smith? Middle name?
Q
F
Final answer?
Now, listen. I'm not saying you're lying...
JIM LAUGHS
...but, at the minute, you can't get a right answer.
I've given you, like, 20 chances before getting it.
Next round...
Have you been in trouble before, Jason?
...and "pass" isn't an option.
Yeah? What for?
Right, OK.
Learnt your lesson?
No?
Listen, I need to prove you are who you say you are.
OK?
Don't worry, Jim, I'm on it.
Using the in-car laptop,
Rob searches the DVLA database for the lad's photocard driving licence.
Hm. I'm not convinced.
You got a brother?
Whilst Rob carries on digging, Jim decides to ask the audience,
and checks in with Mum.
Has your boy got a driving licence?
F
What's his name?
People take great pleasure in lying to us
to try and get themselves off certain things,
so, we've just got to do ourjob properly, that's all,
and make sure he's all good to drive.
F
é
F
Promises, promises.
You happy?
We're looking at your photo, mate.
A bit skinnier?
Yeah, probably, a little bit.
F
That's all right, mate.
Putting a few pizzas on, and dishing a few porkies out.
What did you say your first name was?
I'm forgetting already. Jason.
Earlier, this mastermind's shakiest subject was his own name.
And your first name?
F
Well, Jeffery, Wayne, Jason, or whoever you are...
FIREWORKS POP
...that sound means you've got one final chance
at the million dollar question.
You're on the verge of getting arrested.
So, we can do it one of two ways.
We can deal with you here for whatever issues
you are trying to hide by giving us different details...
...or you can continue to tell me that your name is Jason,
we go to the Bridewell, put you on live scan
and prove that you are lying.
He's quite right,
because we've just seen a picture of the person who you are, mate.
Bridewell or no Bridewell?
Wayne?
Wayne, right, OK, Wayne.
Yeah, good one.
É
So, what's the craic?
É
Thank you for apologising.
F
Mastermind does indeed have a brother,
and his trying to pull a fast one by giving his details.
So, tell us why.
Yeah.
Wayne... You're a grown man. You're a liar, mate.
You're a liar. You've just lied to me, to him -
and do you know something else that makes it even worse?
Your mum has just lied to me.
For the sake of no insurance and no driving licence.
Little bit of good old-fashioned policing,
little bit of digging and we've got the man.
And "the man" has bagged the booby prize.
A seized Sorento.
Take them plates out of it, Mam.
É
I'm looking at you because you've lied to me.
No. No.
Because you can't.
Because he's committed a removing road traffic offence. So...
Right.
Yeah, but you're lucky for not getting locked up
at the minute, love.
You should have perhaps thought about that before you lied to us.
You're on the edge for getting locked up
for perverting the course of justice.
Now is probably the right time to keep mum.
OK, you're being reported for consideration
of the question of prosecuting you for the offences
of driving otherwise in accordance to no insurance.
Do you want to offer any reply?
I'll tell you something, right?
You're quite a distinguishable boy. You're a big lad.
So, we cruise round Hucknall quite often,
so, if we see you again, in a car, your gonna get tucked.
I tell you now.
See you another day, all right?
We will do?! We will do!
You're right, we will!
See you later.
Well done, mate.
I mean, he couldn't lie in bed straight, could it?
Mate... So, it weren't that hard to suss him out!
He didn't know the details of the plate. No.
He couldn't give us the right name.
Mum was... Mum!
Mum!
The good thing with the technology we have nowadays, you know,
we've got - we only have to go onto our systems
and we can quite quickly get a photograph,
look at the photograph, it's obvious that it's not him,
so, a little bit of digging, clever use of the policing systems,
and soon detected that it was, you know, that it wasn't the person
he gave the details of, and we figured him out.
The man of many names will be going to court
for driving without a licence or insurance.
How do I turn this bloody thing on, then? Here we go. Hold tight.
Oh, my God, it's gonna take off.
