Charlie and Mish are in Bracknell and head in to assist with a drugs raid – along with anyone else in the team who is available. Except for the point where they run out of petrol and have to go and fill up, and then get stuck in traffic despite the sirens. Finally, everyone gets together – but it’s too late as the suspects have already driven off. Teaming up with Roma and new boy Kev Murphy with Flipper lurking on the sidelines, they move in, but have to wait again, as the suspects are now out and about on foot. As the suspected dealer has been known to attempt to swallow her stash, they want to get in quickly and hard – and boy, do they! The car has quite an impressive collection of needles, but not much in the way of actual drugs. But then, the driver doesn’t have much in the way of driving documents, either. Anna and Griff are in Aylesbury and are immediately called in to assist Conrad and Mark who are involved in a drugs search of a couple of likely lads. All goes smoothly, including the discovery of some cannabis on the suspect, but things then go a bit wonky when he is asked to remove his shoes – which he won’t do because he’s ‘got rights’ – which apparently state they can’t take his shoes off in a public place. No probs – they’ll just do it in the station instead. Unlike his mate, who is more co-operative, despite accusing Conrad of tickling him. Waller and Flipper are in Reading and get called to an incident which is claimed to involve a knife. Paramedics waiting, they go in first to assess the situation as the ARV aren’t on scene yet. Being under strict instructions not to get too close, they attempt to check the likely suspect from the car, and thus ensues a dance between suspect and vehicle which must look astonishingly odd on CCTV. They can’t tell whether the guy has a knife or not – despite his constantly putting his hands in and out of his pockets – and behaving generally like he has. Eventually, he obeys Flipper
