Lorry theft: it’s a costly crime, estimated to drain the UK of over £250 million annually. This week on “Traffic Cops,” Derbyshire officers join forces with Nottinghamshire Police to crack down on a surge in HGV attacks. The action kicks off with a high-speed pursuit of a suspected cloned van, believed to be carrying stolen goods.
The chase intensifies near Chesterfield, culminating in a five-car pile-up. As the suspect attempts to flee, a police dog springs into action, bringing the drama to a, shall we say, biting conclusion. The episode provides a revealing look at the challenges faced by traffic cops in combating crime on the roads. Tune in to Channel 5 at 8:00 PM on Monday for a dose of high-octane law enforcement.
