Yorkie and Dixie are in Reading on a Burglary exercise when they’re called to a break-in. They hear that the suspects have made off in a blue Saxo and commence the hunt. A local unit spots them lurking, which leads to a spot of shock and awe. There’s some stolen property in the vehicle from the property that they’d just fled from – good call. Still in Reading, a bunch of young men make the foolish mistake of racing past Yorkie and Dixie while hurling abuse. They are brusquely stopped and expected to account for themselves. The passengers are gobby and trying to out-impress each other. It appears that this is normal, as the car is flagged for antisocial behaviour, the driver being too chicken to stop his passengers from being idiots. Worse still – it’s his mum’s car, and she’s going to keep on being stopped now because the car is flagged! Simon and JK are patrolling in Aylesbury when Simon notices a car with a whopper crack in the windscreen. While they’re dealing with that in a multi-storey, a car park attendant asks JK to investigate what he thinks might be dealing going on in one of the toilets. They stop the two suspects and carry out a drugs search. One is carrying a wrap of heroin; the other isn’t, but admits being a user, so he was able to go; unlike the other. Yorkie and Dixie are listening in on a chase through Reading with commentary by Rosie. A bloke has nicked a bike and is trundling sedately across a playing field with Rosie in tow on foot. What he doesn’t know is that Dixie has stationed their car at the proposed exit, so Yorkie is waiting for him by the gate. Rosie is dead impressed, and does a nice little dance to celebrate not having to do all the paperwork. Lloydy and Jim are travelling on the A40 in Oxford and get a hit on their ANPR – as usual there’s no insurance. The guy’s just bought it a few days ago and is ‘in the process of changing it over’ from his previous vehicle. Which is never going to happen a
