When shop staff see three men stealing a piece of garden furniture, they contact the police. But once apprehended, one of the men will not give in easily and becomes increasingly volatile. And when he starts spitting, the police have no choice but to place a spit hood on him, and it takes six officers to get him into the custody van. PC Bailey and PC Evans are driving the custody van, a job that means a busy shift picking up those arrested for various offences and transporting them to custody to be booked in. Many of them are arrested for being drunk and disorderly - and tonight is no different. And roads policing officers respond to a grade one call coming in about a man threatening a female with a hammer. 

PC Smith spots a suspected burglar, but as he calls his colleagues for back-up, the man takes off, leading to a chase. Sgt Okyere and student officer West have reports of a car nearby which has been involved in the supply of drugs, giving West the chance to make his first drugs stop and arrest. Sgt Gladwin and PC Bowers pull over a driver at a drive-through for having no insurance.
