About
Inside the Arrest captures the moment of arrest, conducted more than two thousand times a day by British police, in order to investigate or prevent a crime. The arrest is the start point for every story, a high-stakes moment that can be met with anything from violence to defiance, confession to incredulity.
Each episode features two cases using police bodycam footage to analyse some notorious and high-profile arrests from recent years.
