PCs Billy Stead and Nathan Saltmer race to intercept the car, and are told that the driver is high on magic mushrooms and isn't letting a female passenger out of the vehicle.
2Episode 2After reports come in of a cloned car, officers get behind the suspect vehicle and start putting together a plan. When pulled over, the driver doesn't have a licence or insurance and when the car is searched, something else illegal is found that changes everything. While on patrol near Grimsby, police watch in shock as a motorbike dangerously weaves in and out of traffic, but the rider refuses to see anything wrong with what he's done, leaving the cops questioning if there is another motive for his shocking riding.
3Episode 3Humberside police respond to a 999 call from a member of a public about an HGV that is all over the road, with officers giving a running commentary as the truck narrowly avoids other cars and completely misses a roundabout. Meanwhile PC Martin Leak is patrolling in Cleethorpes when a car goes straight through a red light right in front of him, and PCs Emily Green and Susan Scott join the pursuit of a car involved in a burglary in Hull.
4Episode 4Sgt Tom Elvidge heads to Grimsby on the hunt for a prolific criminal who is linked to multiple burglaries, and is also known for not having a driving licence.

In Grimsby, officers stumble across a white transit van in poor condition. They pull it over and discover it's not passed its MOT, but more digging reveals a shocking list of fails - plus the strong smell of cannabis.

They're then faced with a very irate driver, furious for being stopped when trying to get to work as an HGV driver. His anger starts to make sense, when cops search his car and find an open bottle of lager. PCs spot a motorbike using L-Plates as a mud guard.
