The Metropolitan Police's extradition team stage a double dawn raid as they search for two brothers on the run from the USA. Charged with the cultivation and supply of almost four kilograms of illegal hallucinogenic mushrooms back in 2009, the brothers fled the United States while awaiting trial.

West Yorkshire is home to one of the busiest extradition units in the UK. PCs Dave Lockwood and Tom Allen are out looking for a Polish man who is accused of theft and fraud. They have been searching for him for more than two years, so will today's visit to a house in Bradford give them the result they need?

Every year the National Crime Agency and Crimestoppers run Operation Captura. Giant screens displaying wanted faces are displayed in popular tourist resorts in Spain. One of the operation's biggest success stories was the arrest of paedophile Michael McCartney, hours after his face was displayed on billboards and TV in Alicante.

There is also the story of a Liverpool drug baron who ended up behind bars after an unexpected appearance on this programme. Terrence Earle and his younger brother Michael were part of a gang smuggling drugs from Liverpool to south Wales. After a lorryload of drugs was intercepted by South Wales Police, the brothers fled to the Netherlands. Then, in January 2016, as Dutch police were being filmed for this programme, Terrence Earle made an unexpected cameo appearance which led to his arrest.
