RPU: Road Policing Unit

Officers from North and West Yorkshire hunt down car thieves and speeding drink-drivers. At the end of one high speed pursuit in Bradford, tensions in the local community come to boiling point as the cops face a potential riot.

Officers resort to CS gas during a chase through housing estates, a cocky thief tries all the tricks in the book to evade paying the price, and two different teams of the Road Crime team track two cars thought to be connected with firearms offences.

A high velocity chase in suburban Bradford baffles the cops as it seems the driver just wants to get home to eat his pricey takeaway while it is still hot; but is that the whole story?

The roads are teeming with thieves and burglars, on the look-out for a quick profit from nicking everything from quad bikes to mini-diggers.

Drivers push their cars to the limit and beyond. A speeding murder suspect is pursued and trapped in downtown Bradford while another speeding car thief whose mindless risk taking only ends when he picks a fight with a tree.

Police from North and West Yorkshire are cracking down on young risk takers, both behind the wheel and on the streets.
