Police Interceptors

This high-octane episode begins with an epic battle to put the brakes on a dangerous disqualified driver who leads Northamptonshire's Interceptors on a gruelling 20-minute pursuit.

Rob and Charlie track down a Mitsubishi reportedly being driven dangerously, but within seconds the driver hits the accelerator and speeds through villages at 80mph, eventually taking the pursuit down a treacherous country track. Callum faces a race against time to help an off-duty colleague who has been headbutted and punched while grappling to detain a violent suspected shoplifter in a supermarket

Officers are called to a busy town centre bar where a man who had been thrown out by bouncers has been putting his boot into the windows and shattered four of them. Harrison is rammed twice by a 4x4 at a fast-food drive-through, with the driver running off across a busy dual carriageway, risking his life to avoid capture.

When a cloned car being tracked by officers stops, a gang of masked men get out. Some are armed with saws, and intel suggests they're in town to rob a cannabis factory. With no available support from the Firearms squad, a pair from Roads Police approach with extreme caution. Out on the roads, a van driver flees the scene of a crash and hides in the dark. A little detective work and a thermal imaging sweep later and the cops have two men in cuffs. The question is, can they prove if either was driving at the time of the accident? Another suspect is reined in the old-fashioned way, when police dog Blue sniffs out a driver who gave traffic cops the slip.

The firearms squad responds to reports of a gang armed with machetes trying to break into a house and one officer ends up on the roof as the officers try to locate the suspects. On the roads, the pursuit of a stolen motorbike reaches an unsatisfactory conclusion when the rider nips down an alleyway to freedom, but when Callum uses a tracker to locate a second stolen bike, it's parked right next to the one that got away.

Officers take part in a high-speed pursuit of a suspected drink driver who tries to ram the interceptors off the road. With the chase hurtling towards Northampton town centre, packed with late-night revellers, the runaway takes one risk too many, jumps a red light, crashes and comes to a halt. Callum and Chris chase after a gang from London suspected to have raided a rival's cannabis farm, while Harrison and Tanya catch a repeat disqualified motorist up to his old tricks again, resulting in him being sent back to prison.

Officers pursue a car on the M1 that is veering across lanes, flashing other motorists and pushing the speed to 115 mph, with advanced driver Scott getting rammed twice by the reckless fugitive. Meanwhile, three dogs are put through their paces in training, with cocker spaniel Socks and handler Lucy putting their training to use in a real-life operation when a man accused of selling drugs to students is stopped and his car searched

Reports of a break-in spark a pursuit of a vehicle, ending in a dramatic dog-led search as police canine Peggy quickly tracks down the driver, who fails a cocaine drug wipe. Elsewhere, burglars strike in the worst possible place, stolen vehicles are chased across counties in snow and storms, and officers deal with everything from cargo thefts to a fallen tree blocking the road.
