Police 24/7

A vehicle belonging to a crime‑prevention unit was forced into a collision by a stolen car that fled the scene, causing damage to the police vehicle. In a separate matter, a homeless woman was formally warned to stop physically assaulting members of the public.

The programme follows a dedicated crime‑prevention unit as it tackles a range of incidents across the city. In this particular episode the focus shifts to two separate, yet equally urgent, situations that test the officers’ response and the community’s safety. The first storyline sees the unit’s patrol car struck by a stolen vehicle that’s trying to flee the scene. The stolen car, driven at speed, crashes into the police vehicle, forcing the officers to deal with the immediate aftermath while still pursuing the suspect. The second thread centres on a homeless woman who has been involved in a series of assaults. Police intervene and issue a clear warning, telling her to cease her attacks on members of the public. The warning serves as a direct attempt to prevent further violence and to protect both the woman and those she encounters. Both incidents unfold within the same broadcast, highlighting the varied challenges the crime‑prevention team faces—from high‑speed chases that end in collisions to confronting repeat offenders in the community. The episode therefore presents a snapshot of the unit’s day‑to‑day work, showing how quickly officers must move from one crisis to the next.
