The One Where Lester Bites Back (5x20)

Uitzenddatum: Sep 18, 2007

Rosie and Daz are out in Reading on a joint operation targeting burglars. They’re called in to chase up a car that’s been nicked from outside a house; the driver of which has crashed it into some bollards. They’ve attempted to move it, given up and fled. With immensely limited descriptions, the team don’t hold out much hope of finding them, but hole up in hopes of catching them out. The tactic pays off as they spot a possible suspect, who they leave with a dog handler and chase after another who vanishes into the night; so they do swapsies with the dog handler and process their first find, who turns out to be the car owner’s son! Lloydy and Jim are in Windsor on the lookout for thieves, but instead encounter a poorly driven car and a motorbike apparently using a car park as a drag strip. Not only that, the car has a Section 59 warning on it – so it’s been driven antisocially in the past. The driver doesn’t seem to have accepted that another one could lead to his car being impounded. Incredibly, while he has a full license, he’s only had it for three months and already managed to get a warning. As he was on private land, they can’t issue another warning, so he’s a lucky lad – he was at risk of six points had he been on a public road, and that would have meant the loss of the car. Lloydy is in Slough with Roma, patrolling an estate. They’re flagged down by a woman who tells them that kids are firing a BB gun out of an upstairs window of a nearby house, so they head in to investigate. The ‘gun’ looks a bit like a ‘raygun’, but the fun element stops there, as the kids are causing real annoyance to the neighbours. They should be at school, but one of them ‘has got a day off’ and the other ‘didn’t want to go’. It’s not an airgun, so they are allowed to keep it – but a flea is firmly applied to the ears. Lloydy is now back with Jim again, and they’re chasing after a driver that’s racing down a dual carriageway outs
