The presenters learn about some lorry drivers who stepped in to try and svoid disaster after a 30-tonne lorry raced down a motorway in the wrong direction, and a gang of weapon-wielding motorbike thieves who ended up getting more than they bargained for after some shop owners worked together to stop the theft of £50,000-worth of motorcycles.

This week the show features footage of two pensioners confronting jewellery thieves, and also helping to make sure that they are convicted. It also features the story of a former police officer and his son, who are proof that standing up to criminals can go horribly wrong.

The show features the extraordinary story of a convicted fraudster who went on a spending spree across the country using a stolen cheque book.
