Duration: 1 hour

Police teams at Felixstowe and Southampton crack down on organised criminal gangs who are exploiting loopholes in the shipping business to ship stolen luxury cars from Britain to Africa and other parts of the world.

Also, a gangster from Tanzania gets caught stealing Mercedes limos from car hire companies and driving them into containers for export abroad. British car crime cops train the Ugandan police how to spot a stolen car, and the Polish police come to the UK to see how Britain's police use Automatic Numberplate Recognition Systems to catch criminals.
