North Yorkshire is considered a soft touch by criminals using the county’s back roads to come in and out under cover of darkness. Tasked to stop them is the Road Crime Team.

The cops deal with the horrific consequences of cars hitting pedestrians and cyclists.

Yorkshire officers are cracking down on thieves and burglars using the county’s highways and byways to get from job to job.

The stresses of surviving Yuletide lead to late night argy-bargy and screaming matches. Shop lifters are out stealing to order for Christmas and costing the UK economy millions in lost revenue.
