Watch: BBC visits area at heart of police investigation after A66 crash It is just after 8pm in Grangetown, near Middlesbrough, and the light is fading.
观看：BBC 探访 A66 坠机事故后警方调查的核心地区 现在是米德尔斯堡附近格兰奇敦晚上 8 点刚过，天色渐渐暗下来。
Two teenagers in balaclavas tear across a park on a muddy red quad bike, pulling wheelies as they pass a man walking his dog.
两名戴着头套的青少年骑着一辆泥泞的红色四轮摩托车穿过公园，在经过一名遛狗的男子时拉着前轮离地。
Younger boys, some not yet in their teens, gather excitedly around the bike.
年轻的男孩们，有些还不到十几岁，兴奋地聚集在自行车周围。
We're here because Grangetown and neighbouring South Bank now find themselves at the centre of a large police operation, with fears organised crime is out of control after the deaths of two police officers and five young men in a car crash on the A66.
我们来到这里是因为格兰奇敦和邻近的南岸现在发现自己处于一场大规模警察行动的中心，两名警察和五名年轻人在 A66 公路上发生车祸后，人们担心有组织犯罪会失控。
Suddenly one of our team is hit by a pellet, which appears to have been fired from the group.
突然，我们团队中的一名成员被一枚弹丸击中，这颗弹丸似乎是从团队中发射的。
It stings but he's OK. Then the quad riders pull over for a chat, engine running.
很刺痛，但他没事。 然后，四轮摩托车骑手停下来聊天，发动机运转起来。
I ask the riders if it is normal to be driving around the park on a quad bike.
我问骑手们骑四轮摩托车在公园里行驶是否正常。
"Yeah, this isn't any special day," the passenger says.
“是的，今天不是什么特别的日子，”乘客说。
"You're born and bred and brought up with it. What do you expect? You don't know anything different." Since the crash, more than 20 people have been arrested in Middlesbrough and the surrounding area as part of a wider operation into what police have called "serious and organised crime".
“你是伴随着它出生、长大和长大的。 你期望什么？ 你不知道有什么不同。” 自事故发生以来，米德尔斯堡及周边地区已有 20 多人被捕，这是针对警方所谓的“严重有组织犯罪”的更广泛行动的一部分。
Sources say there are two feuding gangs at the centre of a spike in violence.
消息人士称，暴力事件激增的核心是两个不和的团伙。
Is this area out of control, I ask the quad bike riders.
我问四轮摩托车骑手，这个区域是否失控了。
Then they reveal something we repeatedly heard from young people here.
然后他们透露了我们反复从这里的年轻人那里听到的一些事情。
They do not trust the police. "They're saying there are gangs, but there are no gangs," the driver says.
他们不信任警察。 “他们说有帮派，但其实根本没有帮派，”司机说。
"It's not London, mate. Do you know what I mean?" Like many young people here, they blame the police for the deaths on the A66.
“这不是伦敦，伙计。 你知道我的意思吗？” 和这里的许多年轻人一样，他们将 A66 上的死亡事件归咎于警方。
The circumstances remain under independent investigation. The quad bike riders we met said they felt the area wasn't out of control What we do know is that on Saturday 22 August, a Volkswagen Passat that had been pursued by police travelled the wrong way along the A66 and collided head-on with a police vehicle.
有关情况仍在独立调查中。 我们遇到的四轮摩托车骑手表示，他们认为该地区并未失控 我们所知道的是，8月22日星期六，一辆被警方追赶的大众帕萨特沿着A66逆向行驶，与一辆警车正面相撞。
PC Matthew Blades, 37, and PC Tom Clough, 38, were killed.
37 岁的警官马修·布莱兹 (Matthew Blades) 和 38 岁的警官汤姆·克拉夫 (Tom Clough) 遇难。
So were all five people in the Passat: Michael Cahill, 23, Jakub Matusiak, 23, Makai Saddington, 18, Theo Rae and Cole Worthy, both 17.
帕萨特车里的五个人也是如此：23 岁的迈克尔·卡希尔 (Michael Cahill)、23 岁的雅库布·马图西亚克 (Jakub Matusiak)、18 岁的马凯·萨丁顿 (Makai Saddington)、17 岁的西奥·雷 (Theo Rae) 和科尔·沃西 (Cole Worthy)。
Four of the five young men killed had amassed 30 convictions between them for offences including car theft, drug possession, assaulting police officers and driving offences. Cahill had no convictions.
被杀的 5 名年轻人中，有 4 人因盗窃汽车、持有毒品、袭警和驾驶等罪行而被定罪 30 项。 卡希尔没有任何信念。
The chain of events that ended on the A66 is believed to have begun eight miles away, in a quiet suburban street in Acklam. It feels a world away from Grangetown.
据信，在 A66 公路上结束的一系列事件始于八英里外的阿克拉姆一条安静的郊区街道。 感觉与格兰奇敦截然不同。
Hanging baskets and neat front gardens line the bay windows of 1930s semi-detached homes.
1930 年代半独立式住宅的凸窗上排列着吊篮和整洁的前花园。
Disorder at balloon release unacceptable, says MP Who has been arrested in the wake of the A66 fatal crash? Schools close early for A66 crash funeral Many residents are reluctant to speak. Why?
议员表示气球释放过程中的混乱是不可接受的 谁在 A66 致命事故后被捕？ 学校提前关闭 A66 坠机葬礼 很多居民都不愿意说话。为什么？
Because of what happened to one house here that stands behind large metal barriers.
因为这里一座位于巨大金属屏障后面的房子发生了什么事。
A car was rammed into the bay window, exposing the room inside.
一辆汽车撞上了凸窗，露出了里面的房间。
Some of the other windows were also smashed.
其他一些窗户也被砸碎。
Fragments of lights and bumper remain scattered across the driveway. The home belongs to Cole Worthy's father, Gye Worthy, and the ramming happened on the same night Cole died.
车灯和保险杠的碎片散落在车道上。 该房屋属于科尔·沃西 (Cole Worthy) 的父亲盖伊·沃西 (Gye Worthy)，撞击事件发生在科尔去世的同一天晚上。
Police say the car used in the attack was a Volvo XC60. The BBC understands that Cole Worthy and the four others then set off in the Passat to find the Volvo.
警方称，袭击中使用的汽车是沃尔沃 XC60。 据英国广播公司了解，科尔·沃西和其他四人随后开着帕萨特出发寻找沃尔沃。
Now neighbours describe a street living in fear and say the home has been targeted for more than a year.
现在，邻居们描述了一条生活在恐惧之中的街道，并表示该房屋已成为袭击目标一年多了。
There is no suggestion that Gye Worthy is involved in criminal activity.
没有迹象表明盖·沃西参与了犯罪活动。
Gye Worthy's house was rammed on the same day as the A66 crash, which killed seven people All but one of the residents who speak to us do so on the condition of anonymity. They are worried that showing their faces could place them or their homes at risk.
盖·沃西 (Gye Worthy) 的房子在 A66 坠机事故发生的同一天被撞，造成 7 人死亡 除一名居民外，所有与我们交谈的居民都要求匿名。 他们担心露面可能会让他们或他们的家园面临危险。
What message do the attacks send to people on this street, I ask one.
我问其中一人，这些袭击向这条街上的人们传达了什么信息。
"Well, they should be scared, shouldn't they, that something's going to happen to their property if they say anything or get involved.
“好吧，他们应该害怕，不是吗？如果他们说出任何话或参与其中，他们的财产就会出问题。
So we don't."
所以我们不这样做。”
Victoria, who moved here several years ago, says the escalating violence cannot be separated from the wider condition of the town. "This is a social problem, especially in this area.

提赛德被严重忽视和忽视，”她说。
The attack in Acklam is far from Middlesbrough's only recent case of a vehicle being used as a weapon. Back in May, a tractor was driven into a house on Priory Road, and since the A66 crash Cleveland Police has investigated at least two further rammings.
阿克拉姆的袭击事件远非米德尔斯堡最近发生的唯一一起车辆被用作武器的案件。 早在 5 月份，一辆拖拉机就被开进了 Priory 路的一所房屋，自 A66 事故发生以来，克利夫兰警方已经调查了至少两起进一步的撞击事件。
Detectives have also linked their wider investigation to a caravan fire on Attlee Road in Grangetown.

"It's getting worse," a nearby resident says. "They're always balaclava-ed up as well, do you know what I mean?"
“情况变得更糟了，”附近的一位居民说。 “他们也总是戴着巴拉克拉法帽，你明白我的意思吗？”
"It can't be anything else. Why would you be like you are unless it was drugs?" he says.
“不可能是别的什么。 除非是毒品，否则你为什么会变成现在这个样子？”他说。
Whether every incident is part of a single feud has not been established.
每起事件是否都是单一争斗的一部分尚未确定。
But taken together, the rammings, fires and arrests have created a powerful sense that violence is being used to intimidate, punish and send messages. What is most unsettling for these residents is the sense that nobody is fully in control.
但总的来说，撞击、纵火和逮捕让人产生了一种强烈的感觉，即暴力被用来恐吓、惩罚和传递信息。 对于这些居民来说，最令人不安的是没有人完全控制的感觉。
Grangetown and South Bank are communities still living with the void left by the decline of heavy industry. Both now rank among England's most deprived neighbourhoods.
格兰奇敦和南岸社区仍然生活在重工业衰落留下的空白之中。 现在，这两个社区都跻身英格兰最贫困的社区之列。
In South Bank, we see a group of teenagers tend three ponies tethered on the grass. Two perform wheelies on electric scooters while another uses a long stick to scatter rubbish.
在南岸，我们看到一群青少年正在照料拴在草地上的三匹小马。 两个人在电动滑板车上表演特技表演，另一个人则用长棍子撒垃圾。
On the adjoining estate, more than a dozen homes have boarded-up windows.
在毗邻的庄园里，有十几户人家的窗户都用木板封住。
On a wall are the words "RIP 2UZZI", said locally to have been the nickname of Jakub Matusiak, who lived one street away. One 17-year-old boy tells us he knew him.
墙上写着“RIP 2UZZI”，当地人说这是住在一条街之外的 Jakub Matusiak 的昵称。 一名 17 岁男孩告诉我们他认识他。
"He was my best mate," he says. "It's sad." Elsewhere, three letters are repeated: "FTP" - an expletive directed at the police.
“他是我最好的伙伴，”他说。 “这很伤心。” 在其他地方，重复了三个字母：“FTP”——针对警察的咒骂语。
I ask the teenager if he would call the police if another young person approached him carrying a knife.

"No," he says.

Before adding: "I've never needed the police in my life. I'd rather die than ring the police."
然后补充道：“我一生中从来不需要警察。 我宁愿死也不愿报警。”
Again and again, the young people we speak to express a profound distrust of the police.
一次又一次，我们交谈的年轻人表达了对警察的深刻不信任。
Cleveland's Chief Constable Victoria Fuller said what we'd heard was "horrifying".
克利夫兰警察局长维多利亚·富勒表示，我们听到的消息“令人震惊”。
"Yes, there are a small minority of people in the Grangetown area who blight those communities. But we will continue relentlessly to serve our communities." The scale of the challenge facing the force and the community it serves is not new.
“是的，格兰奇敦地区有一小部分人破坏了这些社区。 但我们将继续不懈地为我们的社区服务。” 部队及其所服务的社区所面临的挑战的规模并不新鲜。

Its leaders have been warning for years that its resources did not match the demands placed upon it.
多年来，其领导人一直警告称，其资源与需求不符。
But recent inspections show Cleveland is one of the most improved forces in England and Wales, with performance levels also judged to be some of the best in the country. The force has recently arrested 87 people for offences linked to organised crime gangs and over the past two years 16 people have been jailed for such crimes.
但最近的检查显示，克利夫兰是英格兰和威尔士进步最快的球队之一，其表现水平也被认为是全国最好的。 警方最近因与有组织犯罪团伙有关的罪行逮捕了 87 人，过去两年已有 16 人因此类罪行被判入狱。
Since the crash, more than 200 additional officers have been deployed in Middlesbrough and surrounding communities.

There is also the question of restoring order and rebuilding trust and confidence.
还有恢复秩序和重建信任和信心的问题。
The graffiti is a tribute to 2Uzzi, said to be the nickname of Jakub Matusiak - one of the five people who died in the A66 crash As darkness settles over Grangetown, the quad bike is still circling the field and one woman, who moved here not long ago, asks us to move our car from outside her home, frightened we will be targeted and her property will become collateral damage.
这些涂鸦是向 2Uzzi 致敬，据说是 A66 坠机事故中死亡的五人之一 Jakub Matusiak 的昵称 当夜幕笼罩格兰奇敦时，四轮摩托车仍在田野上盘旋，一位不久前搬到这里的妇女要求我们把车从她家外面移走，她担心我们会成为目标，她的财产会受到附带损害。
But what worries her more is her children's future.
但更让她担心的是孩子们的未来。
"I'm terrified my son will end up like them, he's only 10, I don't want him to grow up like that," she says gesturing to the lads with balaclavas tearing up the grass on the quad bike.
“我很害怕我的儿子最终会像他们一样，他只有 10 岁，我不想让他像那样长大，”她指着四轮摩托车上戴着巴拉克拉瓦撕扯草地的小伙子们说道。
