From Sunderland to Newcastle, the elite motorway officers of Cheshire face a variety of challenges, keeping the roads safe and apprehending those who flout the law. Narrated by Nicky Campbell.

When the occupants refuse to cooperate, the officers are forced to take decisive action, smashing down the door to gain entry. Expect a few tense moments as the situation unfolds.
