Episode 2
Detectives in Cheshire investigate a prolific international criminal gang responsible for stealing £160,000 worth of premium goods from Asda over 81 raids, distracting security as they hit stores across the country. Police use ANPR to trace their vehicles and close in on the group.

In Operation Even, police must piece together incriminating clips to determine the roles played by suspects, preparing a dawn raid to catch them by surprise. In Burnley, Sgt Victoria mobilises her team to go after prolific suspects, including two brothers whose campaign of shoplifting is out of control.
Episode 4
Officers pursue suspects armed with a crowbar and an air rifle who robbed a member of the public, and the police helicopter is called in to assist when the chase goes off road. PC's John Douglas and Joe Gorman spot a BMW driver with his foot down and when they get behind the car, the rear wheel is so worn down that sparks are coming from the tyre. In Hull, PC Susan Scott and Rich Starkie race to the scene after reports of a pedestrian being knocked over by a car.
