00:00What is wrong with him?
00:30Your what? Where? What do you mean? You don't know where it's gone? You went into the shock?
00:47Oh, what kind of a car is it? Oh, yeah, I've seen it. Yeah, let's take it.
00:55We'll come back. Just stay there.
01:15You're not going to go into a job where everything's perfect. There is extra responsibility when you are frontline.
01:21The drugs in the city is a massive challenge. It's a cracker coke.
01:25Well, we only ever really deal with criminals and high-end criminals and people who don't want to engage with us.
01:31I'm Daddy! Get the rest of it now. Don't fucking waste our time.
01:36Every day we go out, there's challenges. You never know what's going to happen.
01:41What was the reason for the night?
01:45Listen up there, will ya? Get up. You're ruining the flowers.
01:48If he runs now and I run, right, you take the car.
01:52They'll see us coming, they'll have spotters, they'll have watchers. They have plenty of security measures.
02:00I'm here to get back to the door!
02:03There's no one in there to find a committee. They need to be taken on society for a while.
02:06You're fit, but not that fit.
02:09It's hard at times. Not everybody can do this job. It's not easy.
02:13It's late at night in Limerick City and Gardie, Katie and Dave have happened upon a group of people whose car has just been stolen from the forecourt of a petrol station.
02:26It was a focus, so I'd imagine it was that car, that, yeah.
02:33Oh, there he is. That's him.
02:35There's a group of up to 15 youngsters from maybe 12 to 16 just stealing cars.
02:44You don't feel the keys in the car, do you?
02:46Oh, my God.
02:48Yeah.
02:51You can see some of their social media pages. They're showing themselves with balacladas and gloves, taking the cars, driving the cars on the wrong side of the road and racing each other.
03:00They see it as entertainment.
03:06It's like Leica.
03:07Yeah.
03:10It's just opportunity. It's fun.
03:11It's entertaining for them.
03:13We've had a number of serious incidents regarding members of the public being rammed off the road causing serious injury.
03:20We had an ASU Jeep rammed last August.
03:23Car thefts in Ireland are an ongoing issue that pose a constant challenge for the Gardaí.
03:33Although there has been a decrease in reported unauthorised takings of vehicles in Limerick, it's still the third worst affected city for car thefts after Dublin and Cork.
03:41The current spate of young people stealing cars is a major concern for those investigating the cases and has become a priority for them to resolve as soon as possible.
03:52They're probably starting at around 10, up to 15, 16.
04:04There's a long process in initially getting permission to bring them before the courts and an even longer one to prosecute them in courts because there's special hearings within the courts regarding where things should be heard and jurisdiction and stuff like that.
04:20In an effort to thwart the perpetrators carrying out the car thefts, Sgt. Rob and his specialist unit have been tasked under Operation Cree to detain the main players involved.
04:34Operation Cree was a task force set up in Limerick city centre to tackle street crime thefts, burglaries and drug offences in the Henry Street district.
04:42It's like a clean up operation really, housekeeping. Everyone targeted will be known to us. We targeted who we believe to be most appropriate at the time, who was most wanted for charges, for example.
04:55And we bring them in pro rata if we can.
04:58Just huge work in initially putting all the investigations together, getting all your evidence regarding your DNAs and your CCB forages and putting compilations together, getting your search warrant, seeing your exhibits, getting permission to charge them.
05:12And the fact is, if we don't have a custody place for them, they go home. So, unfortunately.
05:22Due to the amount of offences being committed, the Operation Cree task force are under pressure to build books of evidence against the offenders who are repeatedly breaking the law.
05:30It's a deep and complex investigation. The added constraints of lack of spaces in Ireland's only youth detention centre, Oberstown, means the timings of any arrests will be crucial if they are to see offenders held in custody.
05:44E-mail possibly having a stroke in the car. Controlled with Gialto 103 with Gialto 103.
05:51Juvenile crime levels are on the rise across the country, with a noticeable increase in thefts and assaults. The Gardaí of the Henry Street district are seeing this play out on their daily patrols of the city.
06:03We were out on patrol. A call came over the radio. A male, all in black, with a black balaclava, went into a butcher's with some sort of an implement.
06:14I don't know, was it a hurley or a bar? He took off running and then Clare came over the radio and gave out the directions.
06:20We were actually coming back in the road anyway, so we said we'd go over that way.
06:29Go ahead.
06:30Yeah.
06:31Go ahead.
06:32O.
06:43What's your question?
06:44It's not true, ho?
06:45Yeah.
06:46Nicola Street, tell her, yeah.
06:47Roger, no bother. We'll head for there.
06:52Nicholas Street, he'd be coming over onto Mary Street, which would be over past the bridge, wouldn't it?
06:57past the bridge, wouldn't it?
06:58Alpha 101 to 115.
07:03Where abouts are you, Clare?
07:11Roger, we're coming over by the absolute side there.
07:18Now, keep eyes open from here on.
07:22Let's see.
07:27If he runs now and I run, right, you take the car.
07:39North Face Jacket.
07:41Is it?
07:48On foot back up Nicola Street there,
07:50male in North Face Jacket there.
07:52C-D-Sandy, by the end.
07:57We're better direction, now.
08:05Back up onto the bridge there.
08:07Woo!
08:08We're going towards the edge of the bridge.
08:12Heaven.
08:17Walk down this.
08:18You're fit, but not that fit.
08:25You know, there's a sense of achievement after it.
08:28Like, you know, it would have been worse if I didn't catch him.
08:31Why did you take off running?
08:33If you have done, I don't know.
08:35But you took off running for freebies for that.
08:38For what?
08:39For a fair night.
08:41Fair night over what?
08:42I don't know.
08:43Huh?
08:44Did you have something on you?
08:45What age you?
08:49What are you at like?
08:52We'll follow you back there.
08:55You sure?
08:57Yeah.
08:58Thank you, Shane. Alan.
09:06If he didn't have any reason to run, why would you run?
09:09We kind of would have rolled up, rolled down,
09:11doing the, well, how are you?
09:13What's your own name?
09:14No.
09:15Well, yeah.
09:16No problem.
09:17Have a good day.
09:2016.
09:21It's like the lads when he stopped and talking to you.
09:25Do you know what I mean?
09:26Did you throw a bike at him?
09:27I like when I stopped the bike.
09:29I never really had a problem.
09:31What are you like?
09:32Have you ever had trouble before?
09:34So I was working, say, as a social care worker with different organisations for, I suppose,
09:40over 10 years.
09:41It was kind of youth groups, youth diversion groups, youth justice groups, homelessness.
09:47Working in the community as well with families and kids that were kind of involved in crime
09:54or were coming through the justice system.
09:56Are you in school?
09:57No.
09:58How are we getting on there?
10:00What are you doing over this side?
10:03Meeting with people.
10:05Meeting with people?
10:07I suppose it would help because you can see both sides of the coin in relation to where
10:13the kids are and why they're doing, what they're doing.
10:17Are you taking drugs?
10:18Are you selling drugs?
10:19It doesn't add up, like.
10:22I stop.
10:23I could stop 50 people a day.
10:25They don't throw a bike and run.
10:27And they don't certainly then if there's nothing.
10:29If there's nothing to hide or nothing to hide and then you run the second time.
10:33Pure stupidity.
10:35After that, in the custody area, the story he gave me was that there was an ongoing feud
10:44between two fractions in the city and he was kind of on one side.
10:51And he said he didn't realise it was the guards running after him.
10:57Even though we're illuminated in a car with blue lights.
11:02There is interventions there.
11:05You know what I mean?
11:06There is supports there for family if they believe that their son or daughter may be going
11:12down the wrong path.
11:13I suppose at the end of the day, like, you can only do so much.
11:17Like to say, like, you can bring a horse to water but you can't make it drink it.
11:20They're not thinking the consequences in between until they get caught.
11:23If we believe that a 12, 13 and 14 year old needs to go into Oberstown, they need to go in there.
11:38If you can't learn to do what you're told, how would these anyone imply?
11:50But this is life lesson for you. You learn from it.
11:52It's simple.
11:53It's late on Saturday night in Monaghan and Gardie, Anthony and Tom are on patrol.
12:06With the pubs closed and the only nightclub in the town getting close to finishing up,
12:10the lads are facing into a busy couple of hours.
12:13Night time you tend to have a lot more people that are under the influence of alcohol.
12:18How they would react probably when they're sober can be day and night in a sense.
12:22Hello?
12:23Will you sit up there, will you? Come on, get up there. Come on, sit up. Come on. Get up.
12:35Come on, get up, lads.
12:36Get up. You're ruining the flowers.
12:39It's destroying the whole thing. Huh?
12:42Look at the state of the place. Don't be looking at what you're after doing to the old flowers there.
12:48Right. Come on. Don't be sitting back. Come on.
12:52Nature's a blessing.
12:54Nature's a blessing.
12:55Yeah, but look. Look at the state of the place.
12:57These have sat here and have a fucking flower.
12:59No, thanks. Don't be lying back. Come on.
13:02I'm sorry. I'm telling you.
13:03All right. Come on.
13:04Oh, God. I can lead to some tricky situations,
13:08because often sometimes we might get the only patrol car that's out
13:11and our next closest backup is, say, Casperlaini, which is a good 25 minutes away.
13:19With closing time fast approaching,
13:21they are called to attend an incident in the centre of town.
13:24It's been reported that a young man has supposedly been assaulted by security staff
13:29while being removed from the nightclub.
13:31I'm not Americano.
13:33and then the next thing I put an incident in the centre of town
13:35and I got a boxing match.
13:37I have to admit it.
13:43I have to admit it.
13:45Yeah, yeah.
13:52They gave you a few digs?
13:55Well, it's you that was involved.
13:56Yeah.
13:57Well, then look, I'll speak with him.
14:03You got a box in the mouth?
14:04I got a box in the mouth.
14:05A young male-led reporter had been assaulted in the nightclub.
14:09He had a friend, though, that was a bit more excited
14:12about the situation.
14:14Can we see you see?
14:15No.
14:16No.
14:16What is that?
14:18Wait, Mr. You can't see straight.
14:21I'm going to go in and look right there.
14:23Look, would you go away?
14:24This has nothing to do with you now.
14:26Go over there.
14:27I'm not here with you, sir.
14:28Yeah, but you're wasting my time now,
14:30because you're not doing what you're told to do.
14:31Look, do I have to give you a direction of the public order
14:34actually, if I have to do that?
14:37Why?
14:38Because I'm telling you.
14:39Because you're interfering here.
14:41OK, just end of it.
14:42I'm directing you under Section 8
14:44with the public order act.
14:45To leave this area immediately,
14:48clear our refusal to do so with a result of an arrest.
14:51And if you do get arrested, you will get fined in court,
14:54and you can spend up for six months in prison.
14:57OK, so I'm giving you the direction now,
14:59so you have no choice.
15:00If you fail to comply with that direction, last chance.
15:03Last chance I'd always go into the station, all right?
15:05I'm not messing around.
15:06We don't start our shift at the start of the night
15:09with the intentions of arresting someone for public order.
15:11We try and give everyone an opportunity.
15:14Sometimes people listen, but a lot of the time with drink,
15:17there's no reasoning.
15:18There's two young bucks about out just to see what is the...
15:22It says there's a bait and match above in the smoking area.
15:24Right.
15:25And they grabbed whoever was throwing punches.
15:27So there were throwing punches.
15:28Those lads throwing punches.
15:29Right.
15:30Whoever was throwing punches was grabbing them.
15:31Who grabbed out.
15:32So he was literally just chatting to them before we came up here.
15:34Fair enough.
15:35So that's the real story.
15:37Craig's been down and had a look.
15:39Craig can look what he wants.
15:41Well, Craig has seen, so look what I'm on about.
15:44If whatever happened in there or whoever it was with,
15:47leave it at that.
15:48Yeah.
15:49Don't go looking for retaliation.
15:51I'd suggest, look, go get your food at home.
15:59Oh, for fucking hell.
16:07The thing is, you put him in cuffs and he'll be crying.
16:10Oh, absolutely, will you?
16:12I don't want to talk to you.
16:14I don't want to talk to you.
16:15Go on.
16:16Go home.
16:17We're done.
16:18Go home.
16:19What?
16:20Done.
16:21I'm not talking to you anymore.
16:22We're finished with you.
16:23Right.
16:24Go on.
16:25Good luck.
16:26I don't want to talk to you.
16:27Go on.
16:28Go home.
16:29Lad, if you're around town in the next 20 minutes,
16:30you're going to be lifted, all right?
16:31You'll be given a direction under Section 8 of the Public Order Act
16:33to leave the area.
16:34If you fail to do it, you're going to be arrested.
16:35You'll be already told three or four times then.
16:37I'm out.
16:38Oh.
16:39F**k.
16:40Why don't we get lifted over?
16:41No, no.
16:42I'll take him with me.
16:43I'll take him with me.
16:44I'm so sorry.
16:45I'll take him with me.
16:46I'll take him with me.
16:47No, please.
16:48Please, I'll take him with me.
16:49Please, please.
16:50101-2-106.
16:51Call up.
16:52Back car passes.
16:57Following his arrest, the young man is brought back
17:00to Monaghan Garda Station to be processed.
17:03All I was trying to do was fucking stand up for a man.
17:06On your own.
17:07And he's arresting me.
17:08There's no other way.
17:09Yeah, but there's a s**t place out there.
17:11F**k.
17:12Yeah, but there's no other place out there, f**king.
17:14F**k.
17:15We were about to leave, and you kept coming back,
17:17won't let us leave.
17:18And we had dealt with your friend.
17:20And he was happy with how we had dealt with him.
17:22All I was trying to do, there's a place out there doing nothing.
17:25And I'm out here, f**king, trying to f**king make a living.
17:29But do you not know, when you stick your nose in,
17:32and you're told to go, by us.
17:34You listen.
17:35I've never been coming around.
17:37You'll have an adult caution.
17:39You'll get one chance.
17:40They'll be like, f**k him, he's not getting a job.
17:43For a public order.
17:44For a public order.
17:45Yeah.
17:46But if you can't learn to do what you're told,
17:47how would anyone employ you?
17:48But this is life lesson for you.
17:50You learn from it.
17:51Look, have you ever been arrested before?
17:53No.
17:54You can add a caution.
17:55That's it.
17:56There's no current record.
17:57There's nothing.
17:58So this is your one chance now, you can mess up.
18:01You've messed up once.
18:03Learn from it, and don't do it again.
18:04You'll have a meeting to come in here, and that'll be it.
18:06Sometimes I kind of just get a sick sense of how things are going to transpire.
18:10Sometimes that shock, the handcuffs going on the back of your wrist,
18:13is over us a lot.
18:14That's up.
18:15Sorry, but I'm just...
18:16Yeah, but just learn next time.
18:18If we ask you to go, go.
18:20Just listen.
18:21Not to give me the context, you know.
18:23Yeah, but you're a bitter one, let's be honest.
18:25You can admit that, can't you?
18:29You can agree.
18:30No, you're fair enough.
18:32You're on your strings in that, buddy.
18:34No.
18:35Hello.
18:36Electric scooters are now commonplace on the streets of towns and cities across the country.
18:43While legislation states that you must be over 16 to operate one,
18:58juveniles much younger are consistently using them,
19:00and this has brought about a worrying increase in accidents and fatal collisions.
19:04Just these two young lads now going around.
19:05The black e-schoolies are after getting offered there.
19:06Just go up and have a chat with him.
19:07It's kind of a pay aid of me and his, because two young lads got kids.
19:10The black e-schoolies are after getting off one of them before.
19:14They see a guard of car coming up and they're looking for too much.
19:17They're not going to take a vote or let them go.
19:18They're not going to take a look.
19:19I haven't got the right word.
19:20Now that they've been going to take a look.
19:21The white car gets the lead.
19:22They're not going to take an eye on the other side.
19:23The white car is one of them.
19:24This is the only one of them in the back.
19:26But the white car is the only one of them in the middle,
19:28one of them it's kind of a pain of me and his because two young lads got killed off one of them
19:35before they see a guard of car coming up and they're looking to take chase from the guards
19:42they think it's great crack they're not really paying attention to what's going on around they
19:46can just fly across the road and get hit by a car like that we're the ones going to have to call
19:50to the family and saying your jimmy or johnny now was in hospital or dead unfortunately and we don't
19:59want to be doing that story very often why do you see violence
20:20okay the massive issue with them is there's regulations that have to be put in place
20:26they're not being adhered to at all by a lot of people especially juveniles um that are under the
20:31age of 16 they're not allowed to be on e-scooters he's not in trouble like we just we're only stopping
20:36him because there's no lights on the e-scooter until you're dressed in black you're not in trouble
20:40he's not in trouble it's absolutely lethal that we're only looking out for that
20:46it's 13. i think people aren't aware of the dangers and i think they're also ignorant to
20:53the fact that there is dangerous and they're just getting on and doing it anyway it's extremely
20:57traumatic for us for everyone involved and especially family members they don't want us
21:02knocking on the door those two young lads killed there last year me and ray were first that scene
21:08to that but we were only around the corner when we got the call actually it was literally a fatal rtc
21:15there two of us looked sure oh geez oh what are we going to see here we and we were there i'd say
21:21within two or three minutes of it happening it's actually a blur yeah it already remembered us like
21:28the first thing we saw was the driver of the bus it was like way it was down like roared and shouting
21:34and it was pitch black so we actually could barely see the two young lads on the ground it was definitely
21:40the worst thing i've seen in it oh we got his name so we're going to call into his home place and just
21:49he's not going to be there but we just have a word to parents if you can prevent him doing it you might
21:56now you might not but you might prevent him getting killed by a car because on roads where there's no
22:01lighting dressed all in black and it's a car they could be drunk like you get hit by a carrier
22:06the body's like a balloon they're just going to pop
22:21hi how's it going is there a different here is he here no he's not good is he your son
22:27um he was out on an e-scooter earlier yeah he's 13 so it's actually illegal for him to be on an e-scooter
22:36okay he also had another another male with him there was two of them on the one e-scooter
22:41so it's lethal but also he he took off from us he wouldn't stop for us we were just trying to stop him
22:47to tell him not to be on not to be carrying someone else in an e-scooter but
22:52he didn't he wouldn't stop for us where where is he now is he he's in his father's and do you let
23:01him out on d-scooter you do he's not meant to be on one he's under 16. you'll get a fine for that
23:09yeah well just just for future references don't leave him out because if he stopped and that's taken
23:15off me you'll get a fine for it you'll have to go to court okay and we'd have to put in referrals in as
23:21well all right all right mind yourself
23:37guardian limerick city have been dealing with a spate of car thefts over several months
23:44that are being carried out by a group of teenagers
24:03these incidents are causing havoc on the roads and streets across the city and surrounding towns
24:08the guardi are under pressure to dismantle this gang and commit the perpetrators to custody if we
24:14believe that a 12 13 and 14 year old needs to go into overstone they need to go in there for the
24:20purpose of getting assistance to change because they're they're committing crime at 10 like at 12
24:25years of age they're most days now at least they're they're active criminals it's long before they
24:31come to our attention that you need intervention they steal the cars in there to get fuel getting
24:38fuel to doing drive-offs
24:43back to limerick city and just engage in general criminality we know by who's in and out of custody
24:47we can put names on it immediately
24:49you have young young persons who have gone to the stage that they're just they're on control
25:02with but but the young person wasn't born like that it's my outlook on it
25:08there's no total of a 13 year old that has the foresight of saying i'm going to go
25:20up and commit crime it's it's come from somewhere
25:25members not for us to be intercepted those youngsters a number of times when they were
25:30intercepted and brought in there was a heap of incidents outstanding for them that were put to them
25:33there's mechanisms in place for underage people you can't just charge them with the mid under 18
25:39you have to get permission from the national juvenile office they can deem that due to the
25:44volume of offenses that are seriously offenses that they can be charged
25:55having built a large book of evidence the specialist team overseeing operation cree hold one final
26:01meeting before conducting an operation to arrest and detain one of the gang members this specific
26:07target is one of the youngest involved in the thefts and there's growing concern that rapid intervention
26:13is needed they hope to arrest charge and have them convicted to oberstown within 24 hours
26:19that's just a quick background for the rest of this morning there's nine incidents just to go
26:26through there was a car hijack and that was recovered in limerick city and his dna came back
26:31there was dna taken from cars but had no record for it but then when he was arrested and his dna was
26:37uploaded to dublin he came back for seven or eight matches it's a ut he was seen driving it about an
26:42hour later um no dna cctv again a day later of him driving it he's coming up to about 30 charges
26:50he couldn't be charged until he was 12 so he's just after hitting 14 he's in his 30s for his number of
26:55territory we'll go up now there's no warrant he's just taken from the scene straight away and straight
27:00back so that's it enough
27:10from our side we genuinely believe that it's early early really early intervention because they're
27:16they're committing crime at 10. they can't be convicted of most crimes at 10 11. like he was 14
27:21in last week crazy maybe one of that crew of six or seven in the city that are just
27:30full-time actors it's causing wreck really
27:35there's no active criminals at 24 5 6 that weren't active at their age it's horrendous for them because
27:40they're at this early teenage years and their their futures are so bleak in so far as they're ruining
27:45their own lives before they even start with the arrest operation underway this is just the first of
27:54several that the creed team will conduct as part of the focus on disrupting unauthorized taking of
27:58vehicles in limerick
28:00there was an attempt to steal a motorbike the owner came out and the lock of his motorbike was caught and
28:11he's beaten it there's no ending to the crime they're committing they need to be taken out of society for a while

30:50uh racially abusive to the owner and um as stephen was getting the information from the owner listen
30:57i just spoke to the young lad would you obviously said something to him enough to rile him up to
31:01for him to ring us like listen what i do see it
31:04one question yes another question sorry yeah what's the consequences if i was being a dickhead say for
31:10example if i was abusive to him if he wants to make a complaint about you being abusive to him then
31:15we'd follow up with that all right but i don't i think it's more i think it's more than once we have

31:24steven has spoken to him and i'll give you a call anywhere tomorrow evening and let you know

32:20to come home with me to the stations you have a choice so most people 99 times out of 100 will
32:27will walk on and and go away down the street or get in to their taxi or get into mommy or daddy's car
32:33who's collecting them and they'll go away home where in god's name did i put the fucking key
32:50you know i take that pocket four times
33:03back in limerick city it's rag week for the local colleges expecting a busy night
33:10gardie john and rose are on the beat in the city's student quarter
33:14we have 20 plus thousand students in limerick so even if an absolute minority of them go into town
33:22they're busy nights from about 10 o'clock on now if it does get busier it's going to start
33:28it was quiet now today our job when we go in is to mind them and that is it we want to make sure they
33:36have a good time and we want to make sure they get home in one piece where somebody is a danger to
33:42themselves and a danger to others majority it's going to be somebody is you know so drunk that
33:49they need assistance whether that's going to be ourselves or it's going to be an ambulance

34:32hello now it says going into message reminder now give me a friend's name not because we can't get
34:43through to right okay give me another friend's name you're not coming up with much information
34:51for us are you it's a tiered approach the cell being the last option we're trying to phone parents
34:59we're trying to phone friends we want to make sure that we can hand over somebody
35:04that somebody's going to look after them and we need to be satisfied with that i want to get a
35:08couple of hours kip coffee and something to eat we look after him he'll be fine he'll sleep it off and
35:14he'll be out in a couple of hours go enjoy your night all right with i suppose alcohol also comes
35:22drugs that's part of the nightlife and it can alter an individual's behavior whether
35:29they might put themselves in situations that ordinarily they wouldn't like to be in
35:38public order section four
35:42he's ground in place in camp a bit worse for wear he just needs to sleep off of it don't you
35:51i'm going to go through a medical questionnaire okay which answers given to these questions were not used
35:55it's not going to be used against you all right this is just for your safety while you're here
36:01have you taken stuff tonight it's all right if you have it it doesn't matter you have okay what did you
36:07take okay
36:14it's massive the drug use in the college scene and in young people and i suppose another side of it is is
36:20they don't know what's mixed with it what they're actually taking it could be life-changing for a
36:26family overnight and we've seen incidents like that roughly how much do you have to drink tonight
36:34a rough estimate i do
36:36as part of the process once you're brought into custody you're brought to the search room to carry
36:47out a search of your person and to see if there's anything of evidential value or anything that can
36:54harm you or others while you're here in the station it's mandatory across the board evidence back there
37:00more um ecstasy and cocaine i see lovely they're after doing the search and there and they're after
37:09finding some drugs on him he's 21 like when you run the risk of a drugs conviction then it's getting
37:16visas to different countries they won't accept you in like you'll have to think about him now
37:21so it's a bit more than just his public order ticket now with that being found in the search but look
37:39he's a it's a cocktail there if he had taken that it could have been a different story
37:46i'm just like what are you doing i just want to shake you
37:49if you get caught and you get a criminal conviction like it's it's it's with you for life like i say
37:56you play stupid games you win stupid prizes
38:06as the creed team continue their investigation into car thefts across the city their attention
38:11turns to a violent incident perpetrated by two of the teenage gang while trying to steal a motorbike
38:20there was an attempt to steal a motorbike on the north side of the city and the owner came out
38:26and the lock of his motorbike was caught and he was beat with it
38:41with respect to the assault and the taking of the motorbike there was um it was unique enough cc tv in
38:48that um the sleeve of his top had a rip in it so we got a worn flouse just in the hope that we could seize
38:54them the specialist unit are preparing for an early morning raid on the home of one of the suspects
39:02involved in the violent attack on the motorbike owner he has a litany of charges against him in relation
39:07to unauthorized taking of vehicles okay that's just planned order to arrest and detain this young
39:14flip for a spate for fences from the 18th of april last year up until the 13th which is last week just
39:21to go over them the first instance ut in the clonroe dennis mac found on lift card bmn3 was identified
39:26ut at a brian's car park clear street three youths reported forced the door of 142 aqua the link to that is
39:35our man was seen in the driver's seat of it in bancha for a drive off a few hours later
39:39clothing in the house today be um crucial to this there's a number of young children in the apartment
39:45possibly ma'am's current partner just be conscious of the kids there we're coming in
39:49looking for clothing looking for himself and get him out just with him there's 42 current charges
39:55before the courts so the intention is to as i said before uh especially sitting tomorrow and hopefully
40:01your man in custody be happy enough for that the main objective of this morning's operation is to
40:09seize evidence linking the suspect to the cases they are investigating to guarantee yourself getting
40:15someone or giving yourself the best chance the earlier the better you know so like there's no history
40:23of this this that ever being gone or being at anything at this hour of the day just typically
40:29early afternoon on into the evening especially night time with you teasing that
40:34so we're here are we um yes we're looking around the corner we're looking on there aren't we
40:39yeah yeah houses like that like you're aware there's there could be five or six young people in
40:45there there's going to be stressed you know there's going to be upset upset parents and upset children and
40:52and then when there's a warrant obviously it has to be searched so you have to
40:55you have to manage the kids so you're going to try and make it as stressless as possible but you
41:01you won't there's going to be an element of difficulty to it they know why you're there and they know our
41:06function and whether you like it or not we have to search a place it's happening whether you like
41:12it or not ready ready how are you how are you how are you going to go what's open what now
41:25bitch what do you know now i'll talk to you there'll be no lies there's going to be this
41:29there's one there's one very recent incident from last week
41:56no one wants a child to go into custody it's it's no place further but when you're at the stage
42:02that there's no one into the crime they're committing 13 14 15 recording themselves just
42:07they need to be taken over to society for a while when was the last time you were in oh
42:13oh yeah
42:19please do not wreck my apartment you know what i mean it listen to me okay this is for the apartment okay
42:24now we're going to wreck nothing we're looking for a few things and you were not going to tell me
42:27so what you're looking for i won't tell you okay the last time the guys came to the house looking for
42:31something like everything what they were looking for looking for clothes yeah what kind of clothes
42:35i'll give them to you you're fine okay oh come on i'm not fighting with you you're fighting with me
42:42okay i'm trying to do this as easy as i can now it's our jacket isn't it yeah there's a rip in it
42:49beautiful oh man i was another white with the crucial evidence retrieved the team head back to
43:04the station to process the suspect what a result look yeah huh huh value of a warrant that's
43:12ah we'll just pick them up oh it's worth it
43:23at that age if you're not going to be looking to put them to custody and there's no point charging them
43:27you're only looking for a charge to object to their bill otherwise you just leave them out and send
43:31the file to the dpp but while the files of the dpp waiting months for directions they're just they're
43:36just a whole second committing crimes so here two young fellas here they come in on a bike our man
43:48here goes over to the bike he's a boy color's on him here so he gets the lock off now we've just noticed
43:53here to see here and under this jacket you know it is a logo or a rip it's actually there's a tear in the
44:00jacket and the jacket and the pants is identifiable enough there's like a gray or a light blue patch
44:06running the hallway down the back the cap of it and there's a blue under zippy there after the search
44:14this morning then we got this the jacket one you can see it here it's distinctive enough with the tear
44:24in the jacket yeah that's the jacket he was wearing it was an inside and blue hoodie well sure that's it
44:34and the pants
44:37kind of unique enough there you can see there's like patches covering the calf area of it that's the pants
44:45with young males like that you need to get them in early in the day because there's a lot of
44:48questions to be done you need to arrange a parent or a guardian and if none of them agree you need
44:53to arrange your arm your peace commissioners come in and sit in for all the interviews all his samples
44:58literally to to stay with them short today for somebody juveniles you could be taking four or five
45:03six dna samples to compare against four or five six different and otherwise takens if that makes sense
45:09it's unique sample for a unique incident there's a lot in it now here's our boy here with the lock he took
45:14so when he swung the lock at him he actually injured his ankle that's why going up and he received um
45:26medical attention after it's just an ankle injury nothing major but there's bad swelling and bruising
45:30there's a cut across the top of his ankle
45:35that's the owner of the bike
45:39due to the seriousness of the offenses and his 42 charge sheets at the moment we'd be hoping to
45:43bypass the caution to deem him unsuitable in the national juvenile office so if they deem him
45:47unsuitable that would give us permission to charge and bring him before a special court tomorrow
45:50but the problem we have is over some uh with a bed so we can bring him to court and object to his
45:57bail but if there's no bed in over some we'd have to make that inquiry and if over signed over
46:02son don't have a bed the judge won't even hear our objection so in spite of the strength of the evidence
46:07the strength of our objection and our obvious fears that we'll be further offences committed
46:12it's all irrelevant if over some say they don't have accommodation for him and at the moment i know
46:16right now it's for so hopefully someone might be released in the afternoon overnight or tomorrow
46:20morning when we go to court probably especially sitting tomorrow because there's going to be a
46:23long day with interviews and that but if over some don't have accommodation for him he goes home
46:30judges are in a difficult position on a number of fronts in that sometimes there's very often no beds
46:37available over some they can only guarantee you the bed that's available at the time you're going
46:42objecting to bail literally five minutes before it so there might be a bed at 11am and if your
46:46objection is at 12pm at midday the bed could be gone so it's a real lottery
47:07just looking for a
47:37We're an ETA in relation to a call for a suicidal male.
47:41Control, we have an approximate location.
47:45Would you notify Coast Guard first, please, over.
47:48We're not counsellors, we're not psychiatric professionals,
47:52but we might prevent them from doing something
47:55that the rest of their family will have to live with
47:57for the rest of their lives.
48:00Put the knife down, girl.
48:02Put the knife down.
48:04I'm away from it.
48:07Have a great day.
