In Felixstowe, ports intelligence officer Adam and his colleagues intercept hundreds of stolen vehicles before they are smuggled out of the country. Today, they find a suspect shipping container crammed with stolen cars. One of the vehicles, a Toyota RAV4, is hoisted up at the back of the container and has to be removed carefully. It looks like a well-loved family car with a child seat and several children’s toys, including a teddy bear, on the back seat. Adam and his team contact the owners so the children can be reunited with their toys. Successes like this help motivate them in the fight against organised car crime.\n\nThere is also shocking footage of thieves stealing another family car - a Range Rover - from a driveway in Essex. It takes them less than a minute to break in using a reprogrammed key. The car is fitted with a tracker, but the signal goes dead, and the car disappears without trace. It is later found at Tilbury Docks, wedged inside a shipping container.\n\nMeanwhile, tracker Richard is searching for a heavy-duty roller stolen from a construction site in Bristol. The roller is fitted with a tiny tracker, and after a lengthy search, Richard finds it hidden inside a van.
