Channel 5 Police Interceptors: Armed response vehicles stop cars in Nottingham street

Armed police officers stopped city criminals who were turning blank firing guns into deadly weapons. Five armed response vehicles and a dog van help stop two vehicles in Bramhall Road, Bilborough, during Friday, June 19's episode of Channel 5 Police Interceptors.

Within one of the vehicles was a case containing a gun, magazine and rounds. The five occupants - connected to a crime operation involving the conversion of blank-firing guns into live firearms - were then arrested.

Meanwhile, officers are called into action after a dangerous driver travelling at frightening speeds in the city puts the safety of other road users at risk. The driver hit speeds of up to 85 miles per hour before ploughing into the side of another car after speeding through a set of red lights.

Officers pull the man from the burning wreckage and start to deliver first aid. Elsewhere, Nottinghamshire Police knife crime team members find wraps of suspected Class A drugs hidden in a man’s trousers, after detaining a suspect for a stop search, and a driver leaps out of his moving car after officers close the net on a suspected car thief in the Worksop area.

Police Interceptors will be featured on Channel 5 at 8pm.
