Channel 5's Major Crimes Unit airs a new episode tonight following an attempted murder investigation in Wolverhampton.

Channel 5's Major Crimes Unit returns tonight with a new episode documenting a violent attempted murder investigation in Wolverhampton. The episode follows a hit-and-run attack on an estate where a man was struck by a black Vauxhall Insignia, which then circled back and ran him over again.

The series, dubbed 'Birmingham's own 24 Hours in Police Custody', provides unprecedented access to West Midlands Police's major crimes unit investigations. Following the format of the established 24 Hours in Police Custody programme, it uses never-before-seen footage to track real investigations from start to finish. The show has covered cases involving firearms attacks, kidnappings and gang violence.

Major Crimes Unit launched earlier this year with three episodes released weekly on Channel 5, though it was removed from schedules before returning last week. Tonight's episode airs at 9pm on Channel 5.
