Documentary series. Intelligence from the UK's National Crime Agency links an armed robber to the Netherlands, where he is spotted by a Dutch police officer.

Six years after a violent escape, a chance encounter with a Dutch police officer brings a dangerous robber to justice. Noel Cunningham tried to steal more than a million pounds from a cash-in-transit van in Brixton, south London, over a decade ago. After years on the run, intelligence from the UK's National Crime Agency linked the armed robber to the Netherlands. In Amstelveen, on the outskirts of Amsterdam, a local policeman was sent the fugitive's mugshot. Thirty minutes later, he spotted the fugitive in a bar, and called for back-up.

In London, DS Pete Rance and his team from the Metropolitan Police's Extradition Unit are faced with a challenge. A Turkish man convicted of death by dangerous driving should be going home. He's due to board a plane at Heathrow, but he's refusing to leave his flat. Will the officers manage to get him extradited today?

In West Yorkshire, PC Dave Lockwood is part of the team responsible for executing European arrest warrants. The unit tracks down around 100 people a year who are wanted for crimes committed in other countries. On their list today is a woman who faces two years in prison for theft and resisting arrest - crimes she committed in Poland almost ten years ago.
