TV viewers will be able to watch the dramatic moment detectives take down a Liverpool drug lord as he tries to skip the country.
Paul Prescott was ready to escape when a cat and mouse hunt led police to a Manchester runway - and you can watch the full events unfold on 24 Hours in Police Custody.
The Channel 4 show will show what happened when detectives tracked a lorry to a warehouse in Bedfordshire, where Prescott had stashed 745 kilos of drugs - a mix of herbal cannabis, cannabis resin and amphetamine.
With the haul having an estimated street value of around £3million, Prescott quickly became Bedfordshire’s most wanted suspected drug trafficker.
Originally from Huyton, the now 55-year-old plotted to leave the UK on a flight to Spain's Costa Blanca.
Prescott was no stranger to the police having been previously jailed in 2006 for eight years having been involved in amphetamine production at a house in Huyton.
Fast forward to 2016 and Prescott is tracked down and jailed again.
In September 2017, Prescott was sentenced to 26 months in prison at Luton Crown Court after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply herbal cannabis.
Working on the case, DC Scott Hannam told 24 Hours in Police Custody: "I’ve never worked on large-scale drug operation before. The drug cases I usually deal with are sort of the lower end, the street dealers.”
Prescott’s cousin, Steve – a former intelligence officer from Merseyside, who made a career out of these types of cases - takes the 24 Hours In Police Custody cameras back to the drug trafficker’s childhood home in Liverpool, where he reminisces about him and his family.
The five miles that will change Liverpool forever
He said: "His mum and dad worked hard. His brothers and sisters worked hard. And he was the one well off as far as I knew. His dad worked in the power station I think.
"So what made Paul different from his brothers and sisters, who would know?"
Talking about the case Prescott was arrested for in 2005, Steve said: "I was asked to do a financial profile on him because I think at that time The Major Crime Unit wanted to take him on as a target.
"I did a report there and then at that time. I said, 'listen, there is no way that I can get involved in that. He’s too close. He’s my cousin. Paul’s my cousin.'
"His dad and my mum were brother and sister. At one time they all lived together in our house where we lived.
He told the producers on the show: "Even though I’ve never seen him for years, when he gets arrested just let me know and we’ll all have a beer. ‘Cause he’s a criminal and he should go to jail shouldn't he?”"
