Cars, Cops and Criminals - Casting the Net

Three-part series examining the changing face of car theft, narrated by Jamie Theakston. Specialist crime squads from all over Britain come together for the first time to tackle organised car theft gangs, using new technology and tactics. Joining the ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) squads, the police show how a device used to track down terrorists is also used to catch drug dealers and car thieves, as well as those driving without tax or insurance. And how one campaigning MP managed to clone Gordon Brown's official number plate.
