24 HOURS IN POLICE CUSTODY RETURNS TO CHANNEL 4 FOR NEW SERIES

The UK's biggest and most successful true crime documentary series returns with the first of four gripping new films that take viewers behind the scenes of police investigations into major crimes.

The first episode takes viewers to Bedfordshire, where a 23-year-old man is under arrest, but this isn't his first time in custody. In fact, he claims he has been held by the police many hundreds of times before. He is accused of committing a string of crimes where his victims have been left badly hurt.

Every twist and turn of the case is recorded as DS Gilbert and her team piece together enough evidence to convict a suspect she regards as a danger to the public.

Channel 4 tease: "This is real-life drama where the facts turn out to more compelling than fiction."

24 Hours In Police Custody returns Monday 22nd March at 9pm on Channel 4.
