Police Interceptors back on screens and West Yorkshire police star again

West Yorkshire police back on the screen as new series of Police Interceptors starts.

Police Interceptors is back again and West Yorkshire Police will be at the forefront of all the action in cities like Leeds and Bradford.

The trailer teasers dramatic car chases, fleeing suspects and armed robberies.

It also shows a clip of eight police cars and a helicopter chasing a driver racing at 80mph northbound onto the M1.

The incident was described as "bringing carnage to the roads of West Yorkshire."

Eerily, it opens with a stark call: "He's stood at the gate with a kitchen knife saying he's going to stab police."
