Police Interceptors

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.

A new VW Golf is reported stolen from a rental firm and Chris Lock is soon behind the vehicle, but its driver proves a handful and an armed response unit is called in to assist. Meanwhile, officers from Operation Revive execute a warrant, where they unearth a hiding place for suspected Class Bs, before seizing suspected cocaine from a teenager in a local park. Michael and Keith are called to a residential address where a lad has somehow managed to ride his vintage motorbike through a brick wall.
