CAMERA crews have buckled up for two more series of high-speed pursuits on North-East roads alongside the ever-popular Police Interceptors.

Filming has begun for more than a dozen new episodes following the Cleveland and Durham Specialist Operations Unit on their day-to-day routines of firearms operations, tackling dangerous drivers and catching criminals.

Two series being filmed by Raw Cut TV across County Durham and the Tees Valley are due to air in early 2018.

Inspector Phil Grieve, from the Cleveland and Durham Specialist Operations Unit, said: “Having been featured in three series’ of the show previously, a lot of the work carried out by the team has already been seen by the public and it was received really well and was popular with fans of all ages.

“We are again taking the opportunity to highlight the work of the unit and we hope that it will be just as popular this time around.

“Our officers will be out dealing with incidents including collisions, intoxicated drivers, armed suspects and uninsured vehicles with cameras on scene to capture the action.

“There will be some new faces as well as some familiar ones.

“Members of the public will see how hard the team works in keeping them safe and it will continue to be educational as well as entertaining.”
