6 - 9: Episode 9

In the middle of the night in Sunderland, PC Will Hunter spots a BMW with a bust tyre, spitting out plumes of smoke. As he turns around to follow it, the driver decides to ditch the car in the middle of the road and make a run for it. Will chases him on foot, but he disappears into thin air. Will searches the car, which looks like it's been in an accident. The driver has left his mobile phone behind and checks reveal he lives nearby. Time for Will to pay the driver a home visit and see what he has to say!

In Newcastle PC Brian Camsell's on the hunt for an uninsured driver. After tracking her down, the driver is adamant she's insured the car on a day policy, but can't produce her policy claim because she has no phone signal. Luckily Brian has great reception on his mobile, and a quick call to the Motor Insurance Bureau reveals the driver has been trying to take out a policy while in the back of Brian's police car!

On the nightshift, police receive reports of a massive unauthorised car meet taking place on an industrial estate. When Brian gets there he's confronted with boy racers buzzing through the streets while dozens of people watch on. As Brian prepares to disperse the crowds, a car noisily draws his attention. He pulls over the young driver, who gets a lesson in tyre standards in front of a jeering audience!
