In Derbyshire, the team are on the road before dawn looking for a man wanted in Slovakia. Ludvik Banda is convicted of perverting the course of justice and has a four-year prison sentence waiting for him. On a previous visit to his home, DS Stuart Kershaw and PC Charlie Lewis were told the wanted man had moved out. Now they know that’s a lie, and they’re not leaving without their man.

Meanwhile, a team of officers from the Metropolitan Police’s extradition unit are travelling to Norfolk to track down a convicted armed robber from Brazil who has a five-year sentence to serve back home.

The ‘Costa del Crime’ is a popular escape for criminals on the run, and police there are often on the lookout for fugitives from the UK. One who came to their attention was Gareth Bryan Edwards. In 2014, Edwards and his accomplice robbed a pawnbrokers shop, wielding axes and threatening staff. They smashed their way into display cabinets, stealing more than £75,000 worth of jewellery and watches. Before he could be captured, he fled to Spain and became one of the UK’s most wanted criminals. It was only a matter of time before he was spotted, and arrested, by Spanish police in Benidorm.
