Last job of the day, #tpac tactics to stop this van in @npsouthtyneside area. Stop lead to me spending the next hour or so in a red hot custody suite dealing with the arrest from the van. Good spot by @NPASNewcastle & the staff @NPFSU to help deny criminal use of the roads 👍🏼

Officers from @NPFSU train wound packing using large piece of meat with out-of-date human blood so the first time they have to do it for real isn’t the first time they’ve packed a wound - there is a knack to it #CasCPD18
