The search for a cocaine smugger leads to an arrest in a wealthy suburb of Accra in Ghana.
Early morning in London and the Metropolitan Police鈥檚 extradition unit are out in search of two people wanted in Italy for slavery and extortion. DS Pete Rance and his team decide to take a cautious approach as the pair has a history of violence. But, after a couple of days searching, the officers track down the pair and find the fugitives are not what they were expecting.
Meanwhile, in Derby, the team are in the city centre, looking to arrest a man with a history of violent crime. The Latvian robber is an expert in martial arts and cage fighting, so the team are taking no chances and have an armed response team with them. After trying twice to catch him at the shopping centre he works in, the team seem to be out of luck and head to another job. Then they get a call from a security guard that might change their fortunes.
And in the north west of England, a container of beef hides 400kg of cocaine destined for the streets of the UK. In 2013, port officials were doing routine checks on cargo when they came across a huge drugs haul. The NCA were alerted to the 拢70m find, and planned a sting to find those responsible. With the drugs switched for a dummy load, undercover officers followed the lorry to Wigan. The gang were traced, and most arrested, but one man proved elusive: David McDermott. Thinking he鈥檇 fled to Spain, officers concentrated the search there, before new information sent them to Ghana. With help from local police, the NCA began the task of tracking McDermott down in Accra, one of Africa鈥檚 biggest cities. But can they find their fugitive in a city of millions?
