Road Wars

Simon and Chris tackle a car thief in the snow – who comes very close to turning Chris into a pancake with his car. Charlie and Chris out doing some Drug Dealer Falconry find some shady characters lurking in the bushes. Back at the nick, their arrestee’s drug stash is found in his nether regions, and someone in the custody suite fancies an attempt to swipe the takings! And, is that Grant behind the counter? Charlie and Chris head back out for some more Falconry and a demonstration of their Crim Radars Charlie and Ruffy tackle a sensitive situation with a garden spade. Chris and Simon demonstrate the Jedi-like powers of the Proactive team by tracking down a car thief to a wheelie bin! Yorkie and Dixie get down to a spot of Car Washing before heading out to track down disqualified drivers in bushes.

Chris and Simon step into the breach in a nasty car chase and save the day with a baton strike or two. Chris and Simon interrupt a healthy lunch to tackle a really angry bloke showing off a rather big sword. And he’s much taller than either of them! Chris, Simon, Ronnie, Roma, Charlie and Ruffy, in association with Conrad – now a motorbike cop – chase a nasty piece of work on the M1 with another sword – and this time the bloke’s not afraid to use it. Scary stuff. Not to mention Ronnie’s now famous prang with the marked car. Charlie and Ruffy head out to arrest a bail defaulter – and find a man with a head wound. By the time they finally get to the flat they were looking for, everyone ends up in trouble! Yorkie and Dixie chase down some panic-stricken teenagers in a Peugeot and give their own car a flat in the process. One of them, when caught, wants her mum. Understandable, given that Dixie is kneeling on her. Yorkie and Dixie are back out and about – and find a drunken teenager passed out on the pavement. Needless to say, they don’t take her home in their car.

Charlie and Ruffy track down an ANPR hit, whose driver ends up falling through a garage roof trying to get away. Simon and Chris catch up with a previous stop from ep one – but this time it’s his passenger who’s got the drugs. Chris, Simon and Ronnie do a drugs stop and deal with a guy who goes a bit, well, berserk in the back of their car. Just as well there’s three of them. Yorkie and Dixie sort out a minor fracas in a supermarket carpark involving a bit of stolen golf gear, a flying beer can and a guy with wings on his heels. Charlie and Ruffy hit the streets with tracker and come up trumps with some high value vehicles. And Charlie makes his first track!

Carrying out a drugs stop, Charlie, Chris and Simon make a right mess of a Renault Megane while Ruffy batters ineffectually at the passenger window; is it made of Transparent Aluminium or something? And Grant’s waiting for them back in the Custody Suite… Chris and Simon help to nab a pair of distraction burglars at a set of traffic lights Yorkie and Dixie collar a burglar that’s just left the scene using their Crim Radars. The chap is, naturally, not pleased at being stopped – but, hey; what’re those credit cards in different names doing in his pocket and how come a nearby tree has grown a pair of socks? And, as for the stolen goods in the wheelie bin… Chris and Andy give an unfortunate, burgled household a rude awakening at three in the morning. Yorkie and Dixie lose the stolen car they were chasing, but find an occupant legging it across a golf course. But is it the passenger or the driver they’ve caught? And does it matter anyway, given that the owner changed their mind over whether or not it was nicked? Chris and Simon carry out an ANPR stop and Chris has to climb in through the back window – fortunately replaced by lots and lots of cling film – to open up the car. Chris and Simon are back on the ANPR routine and find another uninsured driver – who (surprise, surprise) only bought the vehicle two days ago, can’t remember who he’s insured with (because he isn’t) and just happens not to have a full license, either!

Chris’s Crim Radar spikes again, leading him and Simon to stop a car with a passenger who makes a run for it, leaving Simon on the floor with a knee injury as he attempts to give chase. Chris ends up sorting out a binbag full of cannabis and a raft of paperwork showing just exactly who’s been making money from it, and his mobile phone, so they can call him at home if they want! Charlie and Ruffy carry out surveillance to grab a wanted man with a habit of running away and snatch him at a fast food counter! Simon and Chris, Ruffy and Charlie indulge in some more Falconry and the op they’re on reveals a drugs haul to make the eyes explode, not to mention more than a few brain cells if they had ended up on the street… Chris and Simon stop the unluckiest man in the world – it was just a stop for no tax until it turns out he’s uninsured too – and as for the bag of weed falling out of his pocket… Charlie, Ruffy, Lloydy and Jim pursue a kid who’s nicked a people carrier, and Tango Victor 36 ends up diving into a ditch… Charlie and Ruffy out on Seatbelt and Phone patrol. Charlie and Ruffy deal with another phone-bound driver who doesn’t even notice when they try to pull him over!

Yorkie and Lloydy interrupt Chris and Simon’s lunch with a scary car chase which ends halfway up an embankment on the M1 – leading to a nice walk in the country for half the force. Charlie and Ruffy try to stop someone who fits a description. It’s not the guy they’re after, but he gets aggressive over the whole thing when all he needed to do was give his details and be on his way in less than 30 seconds. Fortunately, Roma arrives and calms it all down again. Charlie and Ruffy do an ANPR stop over an out of date tax disc and, the driver also only has a provisional license – but no L plates. And his ‘supervisor’ has had his license revoked. Charlie’s kindly attempt to drive the chap home is then stalled by the small stash drugs in the car. Courtesy of the supervisor who isn’t – to accompany his nasty little lock knife. Roma and Ronnie out doing a spot of Falconry spot a vehicle on their wanted list – but lose sight of him, so Charlie and Ruffy stop the chap. Wow! A small dusting of weed in the glove compartment! Trouble is he’s dead nervous so it’s time for the strip search – though the weed he dropped on the back seat of the cop car doesn’t exactly go unnoticed by Roma. Shame they couldn’t prove it was his. Yorkie and Dixie disrupt the work of the dealers on an estate with their magnificent presence alone – and love every second of it! Sneaky… Roma and Ronnie chase down a suspected flasher. Despite his getting on a train, they manage to catch up with him further down the line. Unfortunately, he’s from Eastern Europe with minimal English, so straightening it out takes a bit longer than usual – which is a shame because all that happened was someone spotted him having an innocent whizz in some bushes. Yorkie and Dixie meet a friendly gentleman sitting on a bench by the side of the road – wearing a negligee. Nice make-up, though. Fortunately they don’t break into hysterical laughter until they get back to the ca

Yorkie and Dixie tackle a pair of wanted men found by CCTV and crush their golden pushbike to stop them getting away; or at least one of them, anyway. Shame the guy they’ve got isn’t the guy they were after! Charlie and Chris demonstrate the Piggott Crim Radar once again and nab a chap on a bike who resembles a persistent thief. Though the green plant material in his pockets is an unexpected bonus. Simon and Chris are in Bracknell doing more Falconry and investigate odd teenage behaviour in a multi-storey carpark. Ronnie and Roma pitch in to help when the tantrums begin and spittle flies. Nearby another youth (on various illicit substances, needless to say) is collared for breach of bail conditions and throws a diva-wobbly of hilarious proportions. Unfortunately, the CS Chris uses to subdue the youth rebounds in his own face! It might say ‘Chris and Charlie’, but it’s actually Chris and Simon and they stop an uninsured driver whose passenger is armed…with a toothbrush. Then they search the car. Ooh – is that a crack-pipe in your jacket pocket, sir? Surprise, surprise; he’s wanted! Shame the allegations were withdrawn… Chris and Simon are back in Bracknell where they meet a couple of people they’ve stopped before and make a sharp discovery in a sports bag followed by a wrap of heroin in the footwell. We also discover Chris’s method of gauging someone’s height. He stands next to them! Charlie and Ruffy bring an impromptu solo Blues Session to an end. Spoilsports.

Yorkie and Dixie are on a stakeout in Whitley. Roma and Ronnie are with them while they work their way through a range of magazines and do semaphore between the cars before doing a Most Haunted audition once darkness falls. And it takes them two nights of that before they get the chance to successfully spring the trap. Interestingly – even Lee whispers! The magnificent Mr Samuels makes his last ever appearance on Road Wars, stopping a chap who takes great exception to being nicked for the cannabis in his pocket. Apparently his name is ‘Noneofyourbusiness’ – though he doesn’t reveal whether it’s his first or last name. He’s not very impressed at being put in a cell, either. Chris and Simon pop down to the river near Windsor and fish up some characters who seem to be sharing a spliff. Interestingly, one of them thinks he can intimidate Chris with the threat of a complaint. They find themselves on the receiving end of a Stern Lecture from Simon. Charlie and Ruffy pick up an ANPR hit in Slough and get into a scrap with a nervous chap who doesn’t like the Police and who hasn’t got a full license – or L plates. But he does have a knife on his back seat and a bit of an aversion to handcuffs. Ronnie and Roma find the guys who were by the river with Chris and Simon. Same car, same problem. This time they’ve got even more weed – and knives. Looks like Simon’s lecture clearly wasn’t Stern enough! Charlie and Ruffy are in Bracknell, and go to the rescue of a security guard attacked while trying to fill a cashpoint. Bizarrely, there is no problem with Charlie parking in a disabled bay to deal with the matter – the guy they’ve nicked only has one leg. Charlie and Ruffy deal with tiny motorbikes, no insurance, no tax and no idea that they weren’t supposed to be riding on the road.
