24 Hours in Police Custody: The Unusual Suspects: Best TV on Tonight

24 Hours In Police Custody: The Unusual Suspects is on Channel 4 tonight at 9pm.

The Unusual Suspects reveals how the new routes behind large scale cannabis importation are leading police to some very different suspects, far from the gangs who traditionally ran the drugs trade. Detectives in Luton CID take on a case after UK Border Force intercept multiple packages of cannabis addressed to properties across Bedfordshire.

DC Adam Geary is handed what will become the biggest investigation of his career. He quickly discovers the route the drugs have taken to the UK: 'dealers are always using new tactics to get drugs to the people they're trying to supply to and drugs are coming through the post, being shipped from America'. After arresting a middle-aged woman who has taken in a package, Geary admits that the homemade crafts enthusiast is unlikely to be his chief suspect.

Every fascinating twist and turn of his attempts to understand the novel form of drug importation are captured on camera as he interrogates the suspects who have received the packages, on what they know about the source of the drugs, and who might lie behind the conspiracy. The investigation appears to be going nowhere until forensics make a breakthrough…
