Series 2: Episode 4
Officers catch a fly-tipper red handed as he illegally dumps tonnes of stinking waste in the grounds of an Oldham primary school for children with severe learning needs. The school was left with a £22,000 clean-up bill. They also track down a man who sold dozens of defective brake parts to unsuspecting motorbike riders, putting their lives in danger, and the National Trading Standards e-crime team seizes a £1 million property from a couple who were part of a gang responsible for a copycat website scam that conned the public out of a staggering £37 million.
