Police Interceptors - Season 24

The documentary returns to follow Northamptonshire police once again. A routine check on an untaxed truck in Northampton quickly goes from nought to 100 when the irate owner sees red, while dog handler Lucy and her canine partner Bryn catch suspected lorry thieves in the act at a service station. A rush-hour crash sees a wrecked van left abandoned and wedged on top of railings at a pedestrian crossing, and Lloyd and Harrison spend the night shift catching up with a drink-driver in Kettering.

Officers from two counties chase a seven-and-a-half-ton runaway lorry, but just as it seems the chase will be aborted, the occupants bail out on a dual carriageway and flee into the woods. Meanwhile, a young driver is inches from disaster when the fence he crashes into passes straight through his engine bay, while there are worrying reports of a teenage kidnapping in Northampton.

Charlie's first solo pursuit is at 115mph when he tails a dangerous driver taking risk after risk, but the officer is forced to abort when the reckless suspect takes off down the A4 the wrong way. Following reports of three men armed with weapons, handler Steve and his police dog Blue join forces with the firearms team for an operation in Kettering. Sandra and Chris face a battle to bag a sample of breath from a suspected drink driver, who's lucky to be alive after ploughing into a roundabout, leaving exposed electrics and potentially smouldering wreckage in his wake.

A dangerous driver in a stolen car causes havoc on the streets of Northampton and the firearms team carries out a high-speed tactical contact to bring it to a halt, but the four occupants fllee across the motorway. Following an attempted burglary on a cannabis factory in Kettering, officers embark in pursuit of a van seen leaving the area.

As the sun sets over Northampton, Rob gets behind a suspected stolen van on the M1, but when the driver fails to stop, the officer buckles up for his first-ever pursuit. Assisted by armed response vehicles, Rob and the team must find that delicate balance between robust pursuit and road safety. In Wellingborough, Griff and Scott arrive at the aftermath of a suspected road-rage incident, and the main suspect stinks of booze.

Officers are joined by several firearms units, a helicopter and a drone as they track a group of men suspected of attempting to steal from parked lorries. However, it is police dog Bryn who becomes the star of the show, following a mile-long track through fields, a housing estate and a park, all the way to a bridge over a dual carriageway. Meanwhile, Charlie and Rob chase a van suspected of being on cloned plates, but the driver is reckless and dangerous, hitting high speeds while going the wrong way on roundabouts and dual carriageways.

There is an alarming report of thieves wielding machetes in order to steal the keys to a BMW in London and the chase spills onto Northamptonshire's patch and all units head to the M1. But just as the cops are about to pounce, the bad guys slip through a gap in traffic and escape on the hard shoulder. A motorbike proves nearly as hard to pin down for Locky, who chases it up and down the county in the dark.

Firearms officers raid a house and recover two suspected weapons, but the suspect remains at large, sparking a 24-hour manhunt that ends in a Taser takedown. A fleeing driver is stopped by a stinger, but officer Rob Harfleet's tyre gets spiked too, while Interceptors Callum and Stewart deal with a drink-driver blasting ragga in the dead of night,

Officers pursue a vehicle suspected of being involved in several car thefts and a search of the vehicle reveals cannabis and a nasty-looking sock containing a snooker ball. In Rushden, the Operation Revive team raids a house that has been converted into a cannabis factory, while Lucy and tracker dog Bryn chase a couple of runaways from a van that failed to stop and Bomber tackles a suspected drink-driver, who gives him the silent treatment and refuses to take the roadside breath test.
