The programme returns for a new run, this time following officers from Humberside police. On the M180 near Scunthorpe, a car carrying a suspected burglar hits an ANPR camera. When the vehicle exits the motorway, the police seize their chance and box it in, but the driver seems more concerned about losing his footwear than getting nicked. In Hull, PC Adam Barley stakes out the main route in and out of the city for drivers with their foot down and it doesn't take long before he spots a driver doing 59mph in a 40 zone, while PC Moff McEwan hunts for a suspected cloned car that has been linked to a recent burglary.

On the M62, Billy is partnered with Sgt Lucy Hunnybun in pursuit of a vehicle suspected to be involved in multiple car thefts the previous night.

Cops pull over the driver of a suspected cloned car, who claims he's just swapped the regs between his two cars because one doesn't have insurance! In Hull, the cops' attention is drawn to a car.
