Channel 5’s “The Motorway Cops” returns this Monday with more high-speed pursuits, roadside confrontations, and the occasional dash of dark humor. This episode shows the daily work of officers patrolling Britain’s busiest roads.
PCs Marc Crammond and Andy Clarke stake out the Tyne Tunnel, hunting for a car with cloned plates that has racked up almost 600 fines. Further north, in North Shields, PC Jamie Leslie stops a driver who claims a late-night pizza craving was his only offense. Meanwhile, in Newcastle, officers pursue a car suspected of being involved in drug dealing, leading to the discovery of cocaine on one of the passengers. Will his excuse of liking “a little toot” when having a beer hold water? And will the cops buy the dyslexic driver’s explanation for incorrect plates?
From the mundane to the serious, “The Motorway Cops” presents a view of law enforcement on the fast lane. Tune in to Channel 5 this Monday, 19 May at 8:00 PM GMT.
