North Yorkshire Road Policing Group chase down career criminals and disqualified drivers.

Series following Britain's traffic police. Officers from the North Yorkshire Road Policing Group chase down career criminals and disqualified drivers.

Over the last decade there has been an average of 20 deaths each year during police pursuits throughout the UK. This episode follows officers from the North Yorkshire Road Policing Group as they chase down career criminals, disqualified drivers and a desperate suspect who fails to stop for the police after a report of a shop theft.

An early morning burglary involving a pair of career criminals forces the traffic cops into high-speed pursuit of a stolen car, and with its occupants desperate to evade capture, Tadcaster traffic officers enact a risky boxing tactic to bring the dangerous pursuit to an end.

On the outskirts of York, a driver wanted in connection with a shop theft fails to stop for the police, and when she crashes whilst trying to get away from the pursuing officers, the traffic cops are called in to deal with the aftermath of the crash and investigate their colleagues.

When a Selby officer spots a disqualified driver parking up outside an address, the traffic cops are placed on alert. After a short stakeout at the address, the disqualified driver returns to the car and soon realises the officers are on his tail. Another high-speed chase ensues, but this time the driver abandons the car. Not willing to let their man get away, the traffic cops call in a search team and a manhunt begins.
