Episode 2

Tracker Richard is racing to find a stolen Audi before it’s chopped up for parts. It’s being stored in a garage in Newport, South Wales. But will Richard get to it in time?

Many stolen cars end up in illegal garages known as chop shops, where they’re broken up for parts. Each part is sold on the black market, making it a potentially lucrative business for the criminals. Tracker Richard is racing to find a stolen Audi before it’s dismantled. According to the vehicle’s tracker, it’s being stored in a garage in Newport, South Wales. But will Richard get to it in time?

At Felixstowe port, stolen vehicle examiner Adam discovers a shipping container crammed full of stolen car parts. Adam’s job is to piece together the parts and identify the stolen vehicles, one by one.

Caravans and motorhomes are also being targeted by criminal gangs. But one proud owner gave chase when his motorhome was stolen. Dramatic dashcam footage shows how he closed in on the thief, eventually forcing him to abandon the stolen motorhome at the side of the road and make his getaway on foot.
