Police Interceptors

Armed with outrageously fast cars and the very latest kit, the police interceptors are the new kids on the block in the fight against crime – and they are getting results fast. The government is spending serious money on cutting-edge technology and hand-picked, highly trained officers. Using Essex as a test bed, they have created the hardest-hitting police unit in the country.

In this instalment, police chase an escaped prisoner down a dual carriageway; a stolen van carves a chaotic course through suburban streets; and the interceptor chopper joins the hunt for an armed robber.Elsewhere, the Air Support Unit harnesses its multi-million pound chopper to search for an armed robber in a late-night scramble.

In this instalment, a criminal in a Lexus flees the interceptors but regrets his actions when his luxury car ends up a total wreck. Elsewhere, an Essex girl’s car grabs the cops’ attention; and one of the interceptors’ Mitsubishi Evos takes a battering.

In the final instalment, a BMW driver with a suspect package risks his life to escape the police; and the interceptors uncover the hideout of a gang of prolific robbers.
