Road Wars

The One With the Damaged Digit (6x20)

Uitzenddatum: Dec 09, 2008

Waller and Kev are in Slough – heading to intercept a nicked car. Apparently the car is now parked up while the driver does some shopping, so they head off to find it and wait for his return. There’s also an ARV at the other end of the road who can deploy a stop stick if necessary. It isn’t – as they manage to shock and awe the occupants enough to prevent them driving off. The stop has resulted in a few injuries, the driver getting a grazed face, and Kev a busted finger. Waller, however, is ready to run down anyone who flees – being able to run like a gazelle. He says. Seeking the advice of a paramedic, it turns out that Kev has actually managed to damage a tendon in his finger – necessitating two whole weeks off work to recover! Conrad, now partnered with Anna, are in Aylesbury with Lloydy and Millsy on a drugs operation to intercept dealing. Unfortunately, the suspect they’re after spots the undercover officers trailing him and flees, so the Proactives have to pile in. The lad’s been nabbed, so Conrad and Anna take over to arrest him, while Lloydy searches him. Everyone’s positive that the lad has purchased drugs, but initial searches reveal nothing, requiring a more ‘intimate’ search down at the nick. While this is being done, Conrad and Anna commence a search of the area in case he’s discarded it into nearby undergrowth. After finding nothing, they manage to get hold of a drugs dog have a good sniff – but instead it’s another officer who finds the suspected package, which has about £1,000 worth of drugs in it! Conrad and Anna are in Slough where they spot a moped driver taking a swig from a can of Stella. As he drives off, they follow to have a quick chat about it. It seems that he just likes to have a can at lunchtime. He needs, however, to give a sample of breath now – which means they’ve got to hang around for twenty minutes to avoid an instant, and unfair, fail. This annoys the driver, who is supposed to be back at work,
