Dan and Daz are out and about in Slough, responding to a call from a local resident who is concerned at what appears to be drug dealing in a local park. Daz takes the cartoony approach, and they sneak up to a fence in true comedy style, with Dan peeking over the top of the fence, and Daz crouching to look through a knot hole. Spotting the suspects, they consider a suitable way of ambushing the group – and watch a deal take place from their hiding place. Rather than attempt to nab the guys in the park, they instead decide to speak to the customers, who are now heading away – Dan on foot, Daz in the car. Speed is essential, as they don’t want the customers to swallow their merchandise – but they quite blatantly do so as the car pulls up, and despite desperate efforts to prevent the purchases heading stomachwards, they don’t manage it. They freely admit to swallowing drugs (heroin, in one case) – but without the evidence, it’s not possible to charge them with possession, so they’re free to go.

Dave Jones is patrolling in Reading, when he’s called to an assault on security staff at a club – by a girl. He spots her as soon as he gets to the scene, but she spots him and performs a perfect sidestep, fleeing down the street. Fortunately, to save Dave’s embarrassment at being outrun by a girl, she runs straight into another copper.

It’s ANPR time again – and Simon and Conrad are on the streets of Slough picking up suspect vehicles spotted by the van. Dixie and Tom are also busy, dealing with an untaxed moped being seized from someone who just can’t seem to accept that he’s losing it and refuses point blank to hand over the keys. With Simon and Conrad nearby sorting out some illegally tinted windows, and are freely able to help as the youth is so determined not to cooperate that things get ridiculously out of hand, and he has to be arrested. The guy with the tinted windows, on the other hand, is much more cooperative, and is quickly on his way – with the windows wound down until he can get the tint removed!

When not using advance technology, the Proactives rely on their instincts, and Roma, with Flipper, spot a young girl out on her own in Slough late at night, who has been picked up by a vehicle. Not sure whether she’s being picked up after a night out, or meeting a punter, they hunt the car down and approach the driver, who has parked up. They claim that nothing is going on, but the unfastened clothes suggests otherwise. The guy – who is married – knows he’s been caught bang to rights, but the girl gets a lecture over the danger of what she’s doing, rather than being nicked. She is quite blasé about her activity; but what she doesn’t realise, however, is that her client is a registered sex offender with a rape conviction. He is extremely lucky on this occasion, however, as he has been stopped before things got too far, so he hasn’t committed any offences – but there’s going to be an information report put on his record.

Dan and Daz, along with a whole gaggle of other Proactives, are out in the early morning as part of a major operation to disrupt a gang dealing in stolen goods. They’re going to the main suspect’s house, and spend a bit of time planning how they’re going to get in, primarily by climbing over the back fence while Lloydy and Wayne ‘Millsy’ Mills knock on the front door. The place appears to be empty, until someone emerges to let them in. To describe the house as a treasure trove of stolen merchandise, is a major understatement, as the downstairs cloakroom is crammed with fourteen desktop computers and there are lap tops, Hard drives, HD Satellite receivers and all sorts of electronics lurking everywhere. Everything is being confiscated, so this requires a lot of form filling, while Dan hunts through bank statements to look for financial transactions, and finds a huge amount of details of where the money’s going – to build a very nice house in South Africa. The suspect himself has been at work, so he is finally arrested as soon as he gets home.

Still with Dan and Daz, still in Slough, spot a driver who is cheerfully showing off to a passenger with both hands off the wheel, not realising that there’s a cop car behind him. They pull him, and find that he’s been qualified for only two weeks! His female passengers think it’s all terribly funny, but the driver’s smile is hastily wiped off his face when Daz reminds him that six points on his license will get it revoked. Suitably chastened, they allow him on his way.

Mish and Charlie are in Reading, and spot a truly knackered Peugeot which just has to be stopped as it’s an appalling shed that doesn’t look remotely roadworthy. The driver is, not surprisingly, uninsured – but he doesn’t have a license either. For some reason, the driver is concerned that he’s about to get nicked, which confuses Charlie somewhat – until it is revealed that the guy is on bail and carrying cannabis seeds in his pocket. As one can’t do much with cannabis seeds apart from grow them, this is not quite so important as the driving offences – so he’s got a date with the Magistrates, and the car’s got a date with the scrapyard.

Dan and Daz are also in Reading, heading to reports of a burglary in progress at a disused car dealership. Lloydy and Jim have got there first, however, and have a suspect – a homeless man who merely wants a warm place to rest his head for the night. As he is now surrounded by coppers, the opportunity to have a bed in a cell proves deeply tempting so he starts swearing at them as much as he can. This is unnecessary, as he’s going to be nicked anyway for damaging the windows in his efforts to get into the dealership – though getting into the van is a complicated affair as they need to pull his trousers up first…
