This little find caught our tyre pressure gauge by surprise, reading off the charts at nearly 70psi (we think). 65% overweight at the back; but surprisingly light on driving documents. No licence or insurance.

officers were out patrolling the south of the county when they spotted this stolen van in Salisbury, the van stopped and occupants ran away… sadly for them straight into the arms of the armed officers. (Suspects not SCIT)

2 in custody and van recovered.

The chef was seen by on the A36 at Alderbury today.

On stopping the driver it seems exotic salad was on the menu and the driver was on suspicion of drug driving. TOR issues for the speed

Sadly there was no violin 🎻 on board this van today, just 4 piano’s that put the vehicle over its plated weight.
A twinkle on the ivories and relief van on its way 🎶

had the driver of this vehicle make off and try to hide by parking on a random driveway in Chippenham. Unfortunately for him, he couldn’t get away. Disqualified from driving, no insurance and no tax. Vehicle seized, driver off to court.

The driver of this milk float will sadly be a bit ‘Lait’ for their round after being spotted using a phone at the wheel.
They semi skimmed past us and it took a minute for them to realise we were behind with the lights on, this was the slowest pursuit have had.

saw this vehicle being driven around Trowbridge at speed. We thought we'd have a chat, but the driver didn't want to talk. Following a short pursuit, the driver was at his home address for drink and drug driving and money laundering after we found £3k at the scene.

The hard shoulder is for emergency use only. The driver of this van was sailing along the hard shoulder to get passed slow moving traffic. His excuse, he needed the loo

We received a report of a family of ducks on the M4 earlier today near Swindon. One of our 's attended. Sadly, the mother duck was deceased upon our arrival. We managed to save the remaining 9 ducklings. They were taken to oakandfurrows for ongoing care. Chris Packham

noticed this Audi R8 V10 travelling far in excess of the speed limit, in the opposite direction on the A36 near Warminster. We went to catch it up but didn't have to try hard as just around the corner, we found it parked with transmission fluid everywhere.

2 in custody for possession of weapons after a report of threats being made, officers then saw a moped make off from the scene and the Police drone followed it to an address where 2 occupants were arrested and these weapons seized!
