Murder-Linked Car Leads Police to a Suspicious Warehouse | Motorway Cops

Motorway cops patrol the Midlands in pursuit of travelling criminals, dangerous drivers and suspects linked to serious offences. A police helicopter tracks a vehicle connected to a suspicious death, leading officers to a Birmingham warehouse packed with equipment that could be used to create cannabis farms. Elsewhere, motorway units intercept suspected organised shoplifters carrying foil-lined bags, lists of target locations and stolen electronics. One routine stop also uncovers a man wanted in connection with a firearms offence. Meanwhile, an unmarked patrol catches a driver using her mobile phone—but a simple ticket turns into something much bigger when her details don’t add up. And after another motorist races through two red lights, he offers officers an extraordinary excuse involving his enormous passenger. From high-speed searches and roadside arrests to hidden evidence and unlikely explanations, the motorway cops must trust their instincts to uncover what’s really happening on Britain’s busiest roads.
