We stood at the gate with a kitchen knife saying he’s going to stab police Prime is on the rise armed with a ax and a machete trying to break into two separate houses but cometh the hour my unit my unit cometh the interceptors get on the flo out and running out and

Running we’re riding with West yorkshire’s Elite alongside their Pursuit drivers contact contact sag on target with their Firearms unit your in the air with their eye in the sky off and running off and running this is the front line in the fight against Crime get on the ground get on the

Ground this is police interceptors I cannot believe we get paid to do this yeah coming up move move move move move a car chase a foot race and a face full of pavement behind Firearms hunt a gunman with a soff shotgun C where’s the weapon where’s the weapon and The Circus Comes To

Town these two clowns it’s acceptable for 110 mph while they have a chitty chat through [Applause] Window Terrace an Interceptor is a formidable Force but one CP can only do so much stop it is all about teamwork we cannot do the job alone we’re not a oneman army we are a team um and that uses everybody within that Firearms police helicopter

Really to to do the job to the best of our ability it’s the we small hours and a major crime has occurred that calls for a concerted team effort too males have’ turned up in a dress um threatening the occupant um they both believe to have machetes and

One of them’s um got a hand gun one report suggests it’s a soff shotgun and the gunmen have already fled they’re on a motorbike so we’re just getting ourselves and armed units into the area we’ll meet up the Firearms team will get kicked up and we’ll go off in Convoy

Arriving at the rendevu point dog handler Duncan Matthews dun’s been on the force for 19 years he once turned up to a dog training course without his dog but he’s better prepared tonight police dog tier is primed for Action ready to support a significant Firearms presence they keep getting glimpses don’t they

With dogs and Firearms kitted up armed response vehicles or arvs roll out to intercept the gunman’s motorbike arvs Eastern arvs location please we are long League Road at the minute W 1,000 ft up yeah we’re more than half out the eye in the sky sees all control

Should be getting on down images the National Police Air Service Chopper has more gadgets than 007 and the fleeing bike can’t hide from its thermal imaging camera is lights out at this moment in time the vehicle is five left turns ahead of you so keep coming the Net’s tightening keep turning left and

There’ll be another left turn just there it’s coming towards you now on your left three armed units move to block the road turn just there but the mass gunmen Mount the pavement and they’re away hidden by Halloween masks they’re inches from a collision with a 2ton cop car Uh he’s now on to the Bradford Road uh wrong side is uh the offside WR side of the carriageway the Riders taking big risks but interceptors must tread carefully still two up no helmets uh uh just little like jackets no protective gear as I can see the speed is quite high

This time um he’s got nothing behind him directly with arvs catching him up the rider presses home his advantage and takes a rural road straight over straight over appears to be uh an off road now he’s kid roid Lane is’s onto Somerset and he’s straight over onto longly Lane standby

He’s turned off uh and he’s now into the penny spring wood it’s dense Woodland but not dense enough they are often r running off and running they have decamped uh and they are on the foot trudging across the uh it’s quite they’re quite slow at the moment arvs are struggling to get

Close with knowled director you’ve got three behind you but the chopper doesn’t miss a trick including the suspects digging in the ground there somewhere marking that location I think he should bu something in the ground yes if they buried something odds are it’s not spring buls you can probably see our nights on

I’ve I’ve lit these two up um cuz it is pitch black out there the chopper surch light bathes Penny spring wood in 40 million candle power even so this is needle in a Hast stacked St we have lost them in trees at this moment in time um we’ve got the uh

Thermal out area contained they’re in danger of losing them we’re still getting glimpses of them on the camera but they are very faint they are in and amongst the trees while the chopper hunts Duncan and the arv team throw a ring of interceptors around the woods we’ve contain this as soon as we

Got it here a chief concern is that an accompass sneaks into the wood to retrieve whatever’s buried there can I help here good morning sir good morning you all right yeah what are you doing I’m in the bed you will not walk me up so I have you’ve seen enough mate first

Of all you PED in a bus stop secondly running this time of night yeah it’s still an offense secondly you’re inside the inner containment of a Firearms operation so for your safety I’d like you to move away please thank you no one’s getting in get back out the area

Please or out get back out the area and air support has a sighting of the suspects we need a unit to longly Road please there’s like a large house and they’re in and around the back Garden of that at least one man is in the garden of a detached House and armed units are all over it there is an out building at the back of the property in the back of the garden uh the door is slightly a jar on it door that you seen a jar is it a garage door yeah the unit of the black

Side um it’s that out building just your near side it looks like the armed men are in this shed I’ve got that right hand car on a mate and with automatic rifles trained on the window two armed officers advance and please show yourself interceptors are chasing masked gunmen

Who fled a crime scene by motorbike oh they have decamped uh and they are on the foot they bailed into a wood and buried something in the undergrowth and we’re still getting glimpses of them on the camera but they are very faith and they’ve been tracked to a garden out

Building anyone Inside by yourself no now Reports say the men had machetes and a soff shotgun any please show yourself now they’re in danger of being shot anyone inside yourself now yourself out that one man is hiding in a a car inside on your back keep your keep your he’s wisely given himself

The suspect is Led away stand up get him out that way a search reveals the only thing left in the shed is shotgun cases where’s the weapon where are the weapons where’s the weapon the answer to that question may well be any spring wood I think he should bury something in the

Ground at this point you’re under arrest yeah for possession of a firearm intent to cause fear of violence all Right arrest is one thing any conviction hinges on the alleged firearm and by Daybreak they found the motorbike and found Crush down area they have coming from over side nothing else we found the area where they believe something’s been discarded but it’s just it’s chest height with brambles they can’t search it properly

Basically they’re going to put a load of officers on there and keep a scene on until the morning um or until later on and we’ll get proper search team to come in and cut all the brambles down and look for it good a thorough search of the wood uncovered a smooth barreled soff Shotgun shed man pleading guilty to possession of a firearm possession of a knife dangerous driving and possession of cannabis he received six years in a young offenders institution and a 4-year driving ban his partner in crime slipped through the net but he’s now a wanted man it’s Saturday night interceptors are

Back of the houses an eagley local has braved the cold with news of the second suspect there was two of them um we seen run up so potentially there’s another one going into the gardens I started to look in the gardens when our attention’s been drawn to other

One there’s no sign of the other suspect but the search has thrown up some interesting discoveries there’s two bags of cannabis of gloves not too bad Class B’s and classic burglar’s attire black gloves both in the car and out and lo and behold a glove in one of the gardens right in between

Where the car uh has been abandoned and where the suspect’s been arrested and Chris is saying it’s one of the same gloves as is in one of in the cars it’s Cinderella with gloves isn’t it I’m sure the glove will F the dog team has arrived and in the nick of

Time go stay shouts have gone up stay where you they may have spotted the second suspect he’s well and truly surrounded back the man suspected of assault and they’re taking no Chances finally he’s in bracelets and being marched off to the neck brilliant last one right take a seat back in there for this thank you what walk could you want it’s the perfect end to a highspeed chase keep myself as fit as possible um and that’s so in occasions like this I

Can keep on keep on the toes uh I always say if you can lose me 100 MERS uh you got a good chance to get away if I can keep up for 100 meters is absolutely there’s no chance I’ll never give up uh and hopefully it’ll show that I can run reasonably

Arrested on suspicion of burglary and assault the investigation is ongoing I cannot believe we get paid to do this yeah uh you play cops and robbers as a kid don’t you and we’ve just continued playing it as we’ve become adults brilliant high Five interceptors often pursue extremely fast cars their speed is now 90 mph but once in a while they come face to face with something truly Special this 1967 Morris Miner has just been stolen and it’s up against 150 mph cop car in Reverse but it’s not about the size of your equipment it’s what you do with it Rome 70 ENT be the stall of Morris Miner now back of the road back towards

Bradford the 67 mgy Miner could do n to 60 in 25 seconds this is not the car for a checks speed 4 5 mph that hasn’t stopped the driver launching over speed bumps and weaving through traffic traveling towards with G Lane stand by red light that was Stand

By and it’s gone right right right loser either he’s incredibly lucky or an exceptional driver this is a coat of paint from disaster The suspected car thief is on the wrong side of the road as he leads the cops on a merry Morris Dan towards leads leads Road continuing 70 mph he’s flat out right and thin enough to nip between Ballards incredibly the driver’s pulling away but a bit of 21st century grunt brings the Interceptor back behind his vintage Nemesis speed is 5 mph the Morris almost loses it on a corner un and we’re going left left left Hall Road more death defying weaves through traffic and a pummeling from the speed

Bumps but somehow the 52e old car is still going thank you we’re going on to Hon Terrace hon Terrace is a dead end but not for this guy it’s gone offro onto pavement and I cannot continue onto Harriet Road the Morris Miner strap line was once wizard on Wheels and this one has

Disappeared The Miner that made a major getaway was found abandoned and undamaged a mile from its Escape point and when the interceptors track down the wizard behind the wheel his driving license will also disappear coming up yeah M just looked in his Mar he’s aware that were here

Closing in on a suspect burglar what happens if we lose him now and he goes back tonight and does something else busting two at a times Twice As Nice who’s coming first you want to come with us you stay here and Nick gets a mouthful from a drun driver just uh just

Give me that in your mouth my love just spit it out thank You burglaries in England and Wales are on the rise but the interceptors are doing their best to bring those statistics Down there’s a car just at the ampr cameras where gentleman’s wanted for domestic uh crimes which are damage and burglary so I think to his ex- partner’s address if you burgle your ex’s house in broad daylight you’re crying out to get nicked yeah give us car details again we’re about 2 miles

Off a little bit ahead ahead of us just towards Graford City Center we are a little bit behind at the minute nothing a fast car speed bump heavy right foot and a little local knowledge can’t solve this goes down to wet laye here which if we turn right we should intercept

It snaking through the back streets the cop they call Benny boy PC Pearson navigates West Yorkshire like a 6ot sack na With a Little Help from wingman Dan Bell clear the cash is just approaching B in Junction they’ve got it on camera now in

The city center on CV it is a a large fell so he’s probably going to be able to handle himself if he has to you’re a big L yeah yeah sure once he takes one look at me the suspect is in traffic up ahead o oh that was a big one and after

Some first class driving they finally have eyes on his car there we go yeah got Inside how far off here Steve just coming up to the plan is to box in the Nissan using multiple Vehicles yeah M’s just looked in his M he’s aware that were here but there’s a worry he’ll make off what’s your ETS Dave I’m just stuck in

What happens if we lose him now and he goes back toight and do something else as the target car pulls up at the lights finally reinforcements arrive behind Ben yeah come up the bus lane still held at red lights now um we’re directly behind the vehicle although the lights

Are just going green I just put it on here the lights are green and the car’s about to pull away so they decide to strike thought he’s going through and the world’s slowest box works a treat he P how’s it going is it all right is it your car just keep your keep

Steel like all great minds interceptors are Seekers of truth how old are you well 61 and Interceptor philosophy says trust no one you got some fake idea with your fake date of birth on Joseph when they’re giving false details you can sometimes you know get that
