The One With the Impossibly Tight Squeeze (6x5)

Uitzenddatum: Aug 26, 2008

Conrad and Simon are in Slough, and head off to assist a youth who has been violently assaulted to force him to relinquish his bike. The report has come in from a good samaritan with whom the victim has sought refuge and so they head there first. It looks like he’s had a pretty nasty blow to the face, and a possible broken nose. He is able to give a description of the bike, along with some money and a mobile. Armed with descriptions, they head off in search of the ‘oiks’, and it doesn’t take too long to find some likely suspects. The lads know they’ve been spotted, so they flee – but not before hastily hiding the bike in a stairwell. One of the suspects, however, is still lurking, and mines the usual depths of bad language and clichéd insults when Simon arrests him. The others might have escaped TV31, but not a local unit called in to assist with the search. Nice. Lloydy and Jim are in Burnham are out to execute a warrant to arrest a man wanted for armed robbery, which requires kitting up to use the enforcer. Lloydy is the lucky man in pads tonight. The front door gives easily, and people pile in – straight into another door which is much tougher to get through. In the end they resort to smashing the glass panes. – only to find that there’s no one in. There is no such thing as giving up, however, so Charlie and Mish are called in to assist with the arrest of the suspect, who is at a local doctor’s surgery. Not only that – Waller and Flipper are also lurking to help; but the local units get there first. Astonishingly, for bloke with a lot of form for violent robbery, the suspect takes one look at all the coppers and gives up without so much as a squeak. Everyone is on the lookout for a fast Golf V6 whose occupants have been spending the day razzing around stealing from other motorcars; and have managed, so far, to evade the law. That is, until Mish and Charlie spot them on Langley High Street outside a takeaway. Charlie is just a squeak too
