Traffic Cops: Road Crime

SYNOPSIS

New series. The work of North Yorkshire's specialist road crime team, which uses a network of number-plate recognition to track the movements of burglars, drug dealers and wanted criminals. A drug dealer absconds from Scarborough court, so the officers get a tip-off to the man's whereabouts and scramble to get themselves in a position to intercept the suspect. A shoplifting arrest turns nasty when officers come under threat from a suspect who resents being caught, and after detectives identify a van linked to a spate of burglaries, the cops are on a mission to find and arrest the driver. But when they do, he refuses to come quietly.
