BBC Two - The Detectives, Taking Down an OCG, Episode 2

After 18 suspected gang members are released, detectives target the OCG’s main drug lines

After the release of 18 suspected gang members, detectives target the OCG’s drug lines whilst dealing with an attempted murder case involving the son of the gang’s alleged boss.

Following the release of 18 suspected members of the Adam OCG into the community due to lack of evidence, DS Martin Soutter and his team begin targeting the gang’s lower tier drug dealers one by one, with the hope of finding new evidence linking them to the men at the top. At the same time, the team is still involved in an attempted murder case, in which the main suspect is the son of the man alleged to be the Adam gang’s overall boss.

This episode follows axe attack victim Cameron and police officers as they face the suspected gang members in court. Then, in a new development, Adam gang members are involved in the kidnapping of a man and his young son, and the kidnap victim becomes a critical witness.

A two-year operation to take down Rochdale’s most significant Organised Crime Group.

Following one specialist police unit over an extraordinary two-year operation to take down Rochdale’s most significant Organised Crime Group.

When a man is attacked with an axe on a Rochdale estate and a local gang member emerges as the main suspect, a small team of specialist police officers launches an attempted murder investigation. The operation leads to an extraordinary two-year operation to take down one of Greater Manchester’s most significant Organised Crime Groups.

Investigating detectives uncover a sophisticated criminal network involved in large-scale drug-dealing, widespread grooming of children to deal drugs, witness intimidation, money laundering and kidnapping - but it soon becomes clear that bringing the gang to justice will not be easy.
