Fugitives - Season 1 Episode 11

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 US 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. 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.
