00:13What is wrong with him?
00:31The car just got stolen.
00:36Where?
00:37You don't know where it's gone?
00:42You went into the shop?
00:47Oh, what kind of a car is it?
00:51Oh, yeah, I've seen it.
00:52Yeah, one second.
00:55I'm going to come back.
00:57Just stay there.
01:14You're not going to go into a job where everything's perfect.
01:17There is extra responsibility when you are frontline.
01:21The drugs in the city is a massive challenge.
01:24It's a crack of coke.
01:26We only ever really deal with criminals and high-end criminals
01:29and people who don't want to engage with us.
01:31I'm Daddy!
01:34Get the rest of it now.
01:35Don't fucking waste our time.
01:38Every day we go out.
01:39There's challenges.
01:40You never know what's going to happen.
01:43What was the reason for the night?
01:45Listen up there, will ya?
01:46Get up. You're ruining the flowers.
01:48If he runs now and I run, right?
01:50You take the car.
01:55They'll see us coming.
01:57They'll have spotters.
01:57They'll have watchers.
01:58They have plenty of security measures.
02:00I'm sure they get back in the door!
02:03There's no one in the requirement of committing.
02:04They need to be taken on society for a while.
02:06You're fit, but not that fit.
02:08It's hard at times.
02:10Not everybody can do this job.
02:12It's not easy.
02:17It's late at night in Limerick City
02:19and Gardie, Katie and Dave have happened upon a group of people
02:22whose 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.
02:30That, yeah.
02:33Oh, there he is.
02:34That's him.
02:35There's a group of up to 15 youngsters from maybe 12 to 16
02:40just stealing cars.
02:44You don't feel like the keys in the car, don't you?
02:45Oh, my God.
02:47Yeah.
02:50You can see some of their social media pages.
02:52They're showing themselves with balaclavas and gloves.
02:55Taking the cars, driving the cars on the wrong side of the road
02:58and racing each other.
03:00The seed is entertainment.
03:05It's like lightning.
03:07Yeah.
03:09It's just opportunity.
03:10It's fun.
03:11It's entertaining for them.
03:13We've had a number of serious incidents
03:17regarding members of the public being rammed off the road
03:19causing serious injury with an ASU Jeep rammed last August.
03:28Car thefts in Ireland are an ongoing issue that pose a constant challenge for the GardaĂ.
03:33Although there has been a decrease in reported unauthorised takings of vehicles in Limerick,
03:37it's still the third worst affected city for car thefts after Dublin and Cork.
03:42The current spate of young people stealing cars is a major concern for those investigating the cases
03:49and has become a priority for them to resolve as soon as possible.
04:01They're probably starting at around 10, up to 15, 16.
04:07There's a long process in initially getting permission to bring them before the courts
04:11and an even longer one to prosecute them in courts because there's special hearings within the courts
04:16regarding where things should be heard and jurisdiction and stuff like that.
04:22In an effort to thwart the perpetrators carrying out the car thefts,
04:25the police and the police.
04:26Sergeant Rob and his specialist unit have been tasked under Operation Cree
04:29to detain the main players involved.
04:33Operation Cree was a task force set up in Limerick's city centre
04:37to tackle street crime thefts, burglaries and drug offences in the Henry Street district.
04:42It's like a clean up operation really, housekeeping.
04:46Everyone targeted would be known to us.
04:49We targeted who we believed to be most appropriate at the time,
04:51who was most wanted for charges, for example.
04:55And we bring them in pro rata if we can.
04:58There's huge work in initially putting all the investigations together,
05:03getting all your evidence regarding your DNAs and your CCB forages
05:06and putting compilations together, getting your search warrant,
05:10seizing your exhibits, getting permission to charge them before the court.
05:12And the fact is, if we don't have a custody place for them, they go home.
05:17So, unfortunately.
05:21Due to the amount of offences being committed,
05:24the Operation Cree task force are under pressure to build books of evidence
05:28against the offenders who are repeatedly breaking the law.
05:31It's a deep and complex investigation.
05:33The added constraints of lack of spaces in Ireland's only youth detention centre, Oberstown,
05:39means the timings of any arrests will be crucial if they are to see offenders held in custody.
05:44The email possibly having a stroke in the car.
05:47Control to a scale of 103, a scale of 103.
05:50Juvenile crime levels are on the rise across the country,
05:53with a noticeable increase in thefts and assaults.
05:57The GardaĂ of the Henry Street District are seeing this play out on their daily patrols of the city.
06:04We were out on patrol.
06:05A call came over the radio.
06:07A male, all in black, with a black balaclava,
06:10went into a butcher's with some sort of an implement.
06:14I don't know, was it a hurley or a bar?
06:16He 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.
06:26How's that 105, 1010, it's an island road?
06:28Of course I go ahead.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Go ahead.
06:33Yeah.
06:34And then, if I'm left on running after I led there,
06:36I'd say he's gone up Nicola Street.
06:38Black feet, cast.
06:40So there's horse-faced, black jacket on him.
06:44Isn't there true, huh?
06:45Yeah, Nicola Street, tell her, yeah.
06:47Roger, no bother, we'll head for there.
06:48Yeah.
06:53Nicola Street, he'd be coming over onto Mary Street,
06:55which would be over past the bridge, wouldn't it?
06:58Alpha 101 to 115.
07:01Yes.
07:03Whereabouts are you, Clare?
07:06We're just going down Nicola Street there.
07:08He took off running from Island Road.
07:11Roger, we're coming over by the absolute side there.
07:18Now, keep eyes open from here on.
07:21Let's see.
07:22I thought there was going to the ground.
07:36If he runs now and I run, right, you take the car.
07:39Yeah.
07:40North Face jacket.
07:48On foot back up Nicola Street there,
07:50made it north of his jacket there.
07:52Oh, there's a city centre-by-day in there.
07:57Go better direction than that one.
07:58Go better direction than that one.
08:05Back up onto the bridge there.
08:08Go better direction than that one.
08:22You're not going to the bridge there.
08:24Go better direction than that one.
08:26Back up onto the bridge there.
08:27Back towards a car, David.
08:28It would have been worse if I didn't catch him.
09:00Thank 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, doing the,
09:12well, how are you? What's your own name?
09:14You know, well, yeah, no problem. Have a good day.
09:2016.
09:21It's like the lads running, stopping and talking to you.
09:25Do you know what I mean? Did you throw a bike at him?
09:30What are you like? Have you ever been in trouble before?
09:34So I was working, say, as a social care worker
09:38with different organisations for, I suppose, over ten years.
09:42It was kind of youth groups, youth diversion groups,
09:46youth justice groups, homelessness,
09:48working in the community as well with families
09:50and kids that were kind of involved in crime
09:54or coming through the justice system.
09:56Are you in school? How are we getting on now?
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
10:12in relation to where the kids are and why they're doing,
10:16what they're doing.
10:17You're taking drugs.
10:19You're selling drugs.
10:19You're selling drugs.
10:21It doesn't add up, like.
10:23I 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,
10:28if there's nothing to hide or nothing to hide,
10:31and 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.
10:52And he said he didn't realize it was the guards running after him,
10:57even though we're illuminated in a car with blue lights.
11:02There is interventions there, you know what I mean?
11:06There is supports there for family if they believe that their son or daughter may be going down the wrong
11:13path.
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.
11:32If we believe that a 12, 13, and 14-year-old needs to go into Oberstown,
11:37they need to go in there.
11:42Fuck him, he's not getting a job.
11:44For a public order?
11:45For a public order?
11:46Yeah.
11:46If you can't learn to do what you're told, how would anyone employ you?
11:49But this is life lesson for you, you learn from it.
11:52It's simple.
12:01It'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,
12:11the lads are facing into a busy couple of hours.
12:14Nighttime, you tend to have a lot more people that are under the influence of alcohol.
12:19How they would react probably when they're sober can be day and night in a sense.
12:25No, no, no.
12:29Will you sit up there, will you?
12:31Come on, get up there.
12:32Come on, sit up.
12:33Come on.
12:35Come on.
12:35Get up.
12:35Come on, get up.
12:36Come on.
12:36Get up.
12:37Come on, get up.
12:37You're ruining the flowers.
12:39It's destroying the whole thing.
12:42Huh?
12:43Look at the state of the place.
12:46Don't be looking at what you're after doing to the whole flowers there.
12:48Come on.
12:49Right, come on.
12:50Don't be sitting back.
12:52Come on.
12:52I'm sorry.
12:54Nature's a blessing.
12:54Nature's a blessing.
12:55Yeah, but look.
12:56Look at the state of them now.
12:57These have sat here and have a fucking flower.
12:59No, thanks.
13:00Don't be lying back.
13:01Come on.
13:02I'm sorry.
13:02I'm telling you.
13:03All right?
13:03Come on.
13:05Oh, God.
13:06I'm going to lead to some tricky situations, because often sometimes we might be the only patrol car
13:11that's out, and our next closest backup is, say, Casperlaini, which is a good 25 minutes away.
13:20With closing time fast approaching, they are called to attend an incident in the centre of town.
13:25It's been reported that a young man has supposedly been assaulted by security staff while being removed from the nightclub.
13:32Not Americano.
13:38WHINK-
13:40Well.
13:41How are ya?
13:41Was your chef?
13:42What happened?
13:43See us by here in the ...
13:45Yeah.
13:45Yeah.
13:45The trailers him out and then the gave the man a few dicks.
13:51They gave you a few dicks?
13:55Well, it's you those involved.
13:56Yeah.
13:57What did I look on speak with him?
13:58I was getting put out, yes, and the next thing I put him downstairs, and I got a box in
14:03the mouth.
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 about the situation.
14:14Can we see you see you as well?
14:16No.
14:16Why's that?
14:18Why, I'm sure 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.
14:25Go over there.
14:28Yeah, but you're wasting my time now, because you're not doing what you're told to do.
14:31Look, do I have to give you a direction of the Public Order Act to leave?
14:35If I have to do that, why?
14:37Because I'm telling you.
14:39Because you're interfering here.
14:41Okay, just into it.
14:42I'm directing you under Section 8 of the Public Order Act.
14:45Delete this area immediately.
14:47Clear a refusal to do so with a result of an arrest.
14:50And if you do get arrested, you will get fined in court, and you can spend up for six months
14:56in prison.
14:56Okay, so I'm giving you the direction now, so you have no choice.
15:00If you fail to comply with that direction, last chance.
15:02You will get arrested.
15:03Last chance of the result of an arrest.
15:04I'm not messing around.
15:06We don't start our shift at the start of the night with the intentions of arresting someone for public order.
15:12We try and give everyone an opportunity.
15:15Sometimes people listen, but a lot of the time with drink, there's no reasoning.
15:19There'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.
15:25Right.
15:25And they grabbed whoever was throwing punches.
15:27So there were throwing punches.
15:28Those lads throwing punches.
15:30Whoever was throwing punches was grabbing them.
15:31Who grabbed it out.
15:32That's what he was literally just chatting to them.
15:34Fair enough.
15:34Before we come up here.
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.
15:42So, look what I'm on about.
15:45Whatever happened in there or whoever it was with, leave it at that.
15:49Yeah.
15:49Don't go looking for retaliation.
15:51I'd suggest, look, go get your food at home.
15:59Oh, fucking hell.
16:07The thing is, you put him in cuffs and he'll be crying.
16:10Oh, absolutely.
16:11The thing is happening with it.
16:12What?
16:13Not in the classics.
16:18We're done.
16:19Go home.
16:19What?
16:20Done.
16:21I'm not talking to you anymore.
16:22We're finished with you.
16:22Right, go on.
16:23Good luck.
16:24I'm sorry, Jay.
16:25I'm sorry, guys.
16:25I don't want to talk to you.
16:26Go on.
16:27Go home.
16:28Lad, if you're around town in the next 20 minutes, you're going to be lifted, all right?
16:31You'll be given a direction under Section 8 of the Public Order Act to 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.
16:38I'm out of the car.
16:39Oh, Jesus, you f**k.
16:40Why don't we get lifted over?
16:42I don't know.
16:42I'll take him with me.
16:43I'll take him with me.
16:44I'm so sorry.
16:44I'll take him with me.
16:45I'll take him with me.
16:46No, please.
16:47Please, I'll take him with me.
16:49Please, please.
16:49101-2-106.
16:57Following his arrest, the young man is brought back to Monaghan Garda Station to be processed.
17:15We were about to leave and you kept coming back and won't let us leave.
17:18And we had dealt with your friend, and he was happy with how we had dealt with him.
17:30But do you not know when you stick your nose in and you're told to go by us?
17:34Do you listen?
17:35I'm not going to come around.
17:37No, we'll get it.
17:38You'll have an adult caution.
17:40You'll get one chance.
17:41They'll be like, f**k him, he's not getting a job.
17:43For a public order?
17:44For a public order.
17:45Yeah.
17:45Yeah, but if you can't learn to do what you're told, how would anyone employ you?
17:49But this is life lesson for you.
17:50You'll learn from it.
17:51Look, have you ever been arrested before?
17:54No.
17:54You can add a caution.
17:55That's it.
17:56There's no criminal record.
17:57No court.
17:58There's nothing.
17:58So this is your one chance now you can mess up.
18:02You've messed up once.
18:03Learn from it and don't do it again.
18:05You'll have a meeting to come in here and that'll be it.
18:07Sometimes I kind of just get a sick sense of how things are going to transpire.
18:11Sometimes that shock, the handcuffs going on the back, your wrists over us a lot.
18:14That's up.
18:15Sorry about the soundtrust.
18:17Yeah, but just learn next time.
18:19If we ask you to go, go.
18:21Just listen.
18:22Not to give me the country flu.
18:23Yeah, but you're a bitter one, let's be honest.
18:26You can admit that, can't you?
18:30You can agree.
18:31No, you're fair enough.
18:33You're on your strings in that, buddy.
18:35No.
19:01Electric scooters are now commonplace on the streets of towns and cities across the country.
19:06While legislation states that you must be over 16 to operate one, juveniles much younger are consistently using them, and
19:14this has brought about a worrying increase in accidents and fatal collisions.
19:46Just these two young lads now going around.
19:47If you don't get hit by a car like that, we're the ones going to have to call to the
19:51family and say, you're Jimmy or Johnny now is in hospital, or dead, unfortunately, and we don't want to be
19:59doing that.
20:01Where?
20:02Where?
20:03Store it.
20:05Where are you at?
20:06Checking in now, but you never know.
20:08By C-videns.
20:08By C-videns.
20:10By all.
20:11By the other breath.
20:14By the run.
20:15By the run.
20:17By the ****.
20:19Nothing.
20:22the 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
20:31that are under the age of 16 they're not allowed to be on e-scooters he's not in trouble like
20:35we
20:35just we're only stopping him because there's no lights on the e-scooter until you're dressed in
20:39black you're not in trouble he's not in trouble there's not my line it's absolutely lethal that
20:45we're only looking out for that he's 13. i think people aren't aware of the dangers and i think
20:52they're also ignorant to the fact that there is dangers and they're just getting on and doing it
20:56anyway it's extremely traumatic for us for everyone involved and especially family members they don't
21:02want us knocking on the door those two young lads killed there last year me and ray were first seen
21:08to that but we were only around the corner when we got the call actually it was literally all a
21:13fatal rtc there two of us looked at her like oh geez oh what are we going to see here
21:19anyway we
21:20and we were there i'd say within two or three minutes of it happening it's actually a blur like
21:26yeah it already remembered us like the first thing we saw was the driver of the bus it was like
21:32way
21:32it was down like roared and shouting and it was pitch black so we actually could barely see
21:37the two young lads on the ground it was definitely the worst thing i've seen in it
21:46we got his name so we're going to call into his home place and just he's not going to be
21:50there
21:50but we just have a word to parents if you can prevent him doing it you might now you might
21:56not
21:57but you might prevent him getting killed by a car because on roads where there's no lighting dressed
22:02all in black and it's a car they could be drunk like you get hit by a car your body's
22:07like a balloon
22:20they're just going to pop
22:21hi how's it going is there a different here is he here is he your son um he was out
22:30on an e scooter
22:31earlier yeah he's 13 so it's actually illegal for him to be on an e scooter okay he also had
22:37another
22:37another male with him there was two of them on the one e scooter so it's lethal but also he
22:44he took off
22:44from us he wouldn't stop for us we were just trying to stop him to tell him not to be
22:49on not to be carrying
22:51someone else on an e scooter but he didn't he wouldn't stop for us uh where where is he now
22:57is
22:57he he's in his father's and do you let him out on the scooter you do he's not meant to
23:05be on one
23:05he's under 16 you you'll get a fine for that yeah well just just for future references don't leave him
23:12out because if he stopped and that's taken off and you'll get a fine for it you'll have to go
23:17to court
23:18okay and we'd have to put in referrals in as well all right all right mind yourself
23:40guardi in 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 orbit's home they need to go in
24:19there for
24:20the purpose 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 night of weeks they're they're active criminals it's long before they
24:31come to our attention that you need intervention
24:36they steal the cars in there to get fuel getting fuel to doing drive-offs
24:43back to limerick city and just engage in general criminality
24:46we know by who's in and out of custody we can put names on it immediately
24:58you have young young persons who have gone to the stage that they're just they're on control
25:02of it but but the young person wasn't born like that it's my outlook on it
25:15there's no title of a 13 year old that has the foresight of saying i'm going to go up and
25:20commit
25:20crime it's it's come from somewhere
25:25members not for you to be intercepted those youngsters a number of times when they were
25:30intercepted and brought in there was a heap of incidents outstanding that were put to them
25:35there's mechanisms in place for underage people you can't just charge them with the middle under
25:3918 you 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
26:00final meeting before conducting an operation to arrest and detain one of the gang members
26:06this specific target is one of the youngest involved in the thefts and there's growing concern that
26:12rapid intervention is needed they hope to arrest charge and have them convicted to oberstown within
26:1724 hours that'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
26:37dna was
26:37uploaded to dublin he came back for seven or eight matches it's a ut he was seen driving it about
26:41an hour
26:42later um no dna cctv again a day later of him driving it he's coming up to about 30 charges
26:49because he
26:50couldn't be charged until he was 12. so he's just after hitting 14 he's in his 30s for his number
26:55of charges
26:56we'll go up now there's no warrant he's just taken from the scene straight away and straight back
27:00that's it enough
27:10from our side we genuinely believe that it's early early really early intervention because they're
27:15they're committing crime at 10. they can't be convicted of most crimes at 10 11. like he was 14
27:22last week crazy to be one of that crew of six or seven in the city they're just full-time
27:30act is
27:31causing wreck really
27:35there's no active criminals at 24.6 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 insofar as they're ruining their
27:45own 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
27:59vehicles in limerick there was an attempt to steal a motorbike the owner came out and the lock of
28:11his motorbike was caught and he was beat with it there's no ending to the crime they're committing
28:15they need to be taking all society forward

33:36we want to make sure they have a good time and we want to make sure they get home in
33:39one piece
33:41where somebody is a danger to themselves and a danger to others majority it's going to be somebody is you

34:52it's a tiered approach the cell being the last option we're trying to phone parents we're trying
34:59to phone friends we want to make sure that we can hand over somebody that somebody's going to look
35:05after them and we need to be satisfied with that i want to get a couple of hours kip cup
35:09of tea
35:10and something to eat we look after him he'll be fine he'll sleep it off and he'll be out in
35:15a couple
35:15of hours go enjoy your night all right with i suppose alcohol also comes drugs that's part of the night
35:24life and it can alter an individual's behavior where they might put themselves in situations
35:30that ordinarily they wouldn't like to be in
35:37public order section four
35:42he's grinding place in camp a bit worse for wear he just needs to sleep off a bit
35:49don't you i'm going to go through a medical questionnaire okay which answers given to
35:54these questions were not used it's not going to be used against you all right this is just for your
35:59safety while you're here have you taken stuff tonight it's all right if you have it it doesn't
36:04matter you have okay what did you say okay
36:13it's massive the drug use in the college scene and in young people and i suppose another side of
36:19it is is they don't know what's mixed with it what they're actually taking it could be life-changing
36:26for a family overnight and we've seen incidents like that roughly how much do you have to drink
36:31tonight
36:34a rough estimate i do
36:36for a pleasure and you're still standing there
36:42as part of the process once you're brought into custody you're brought to the search room
36:47to carry out a search of your person and to see if there's anything of evidential value or
36:53anything that can harm you or others while you're here in the station it's mandatory across the board
36:59evidence bag there more um ecstasy and cocaine i see lovely they're after doing a search and
37:08him there and they're after finding some drugs on him he's 21 like when you run the risk of a
37:14drugs
37:15conviction then it's getting visas to different countries they won't accept you in like
37:20you'll have to think about him now after tonight when he's over his office
37:32so it's a bit more than just his public order ticket now with that being found in the search but
37:38look
37:39he's a it's a cocktail there if he'd taken that it would could have been a different story
37:46i'm just like what are you doing i just want to shake you if you get caught and you get
37:52a criminal
37:53conviction like it's it's it's with you for life like i say you 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
38:25the owner came out and the lock of his motorbike was caught and he was beat with it
38:40with respect to the assault and the taking of the motorbike there was um it was unique enough cctv in
38:48that um the sleeve of his top had a rip in it so we got a warrant for house just
38:53in the hope that we
38:54could seize them the specialist unit are preparing for an early morning raid on the home of one of
39:01the suspects involved in the violent attack on the motorbike owner he has a litany of charges against him
39:07in relation to unauthorized taking of vehicles okay that's just planned order to arrest and detain
39:13this young's left for a spate of offenses from the 18th of april last year up until the 13th which
39:20is last
39:20week just to go over them the first instance ut in the clonroe dennis mac found on lift card bmn3
39:26is identified ut at a brian's car park clear street three youths reported have forced the door of 142
39:32aqua the link to that is our man was seen in the driver's seat of it in bancha for a
39:38drive-off few
39:39hours later clothing in the house today be um crucial to this there's a number of young children in the
39:43apartment possibly 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 before
39:56the courts so the intention is to as i said get before uh especially sitting tomorrow and hopefully
40:01your man in custody happy enough of that the main objective of this morning's operation is to seize
40:09evidence 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
40:22history of this this night ever being gone or being at anything at this hour of the day just typically
40:29early afternoon on into the evening especially nighttime with you teasing that
40:34so we're here are we um yes we're looking around the corner we're looking around there aren't we
40:39yeah that's a few yeah i think i'm still going to tie you up though yeah houses like that like
40:43you're
40:43aware there's there could be five or six young people in there there's going to be stressed you know
40:47there's going to be upset upset parents and upset children and and then when there's a warrant
40:52obviously it has to be searched so you have to you have to manage the kids so you're going to
40:57try and make it as
40:59as stressless as possible but you you won't just there's going to be an element of difficulty to it
41:04they know why you're there and they know our function and whether they like it or not
41:09we have to search their place it's happening whether they like it or not
41:35okay can i talk to you can i talk to you is that all right
41:44there's a group of incidents and his DNA has found a site in three rob cars when the last few
41:51months
41:52so they're not recently ones there's one there's one very recent incident from last week
41:58no one wants a child to go into custody it's it's no place further but when you're at the stage
42:02that
42:02there's no one into the crime they're committing 13 14 15 recording themselves
42:06just they need to be taken over to society for a while when was the last time you were in
42:21oh okay this is for the apartment okay now we're going to wreck nothing we're looking for a few
42:26things and you were not going to tell me so what you're looking for i won't tell you okay
42:36you're fine okay i'm not fighting with you you're fighting with me okay i'm trying to do this
42:43it's easier to kind of it's our jacket isn't it yeah there's a rip on it beautiful oh man i
42:50was on
42:51over the weight
43:00with the crucial evidence retrieved the team head back to the station to process the suspect
43:07what a result look yeah huh value of a warrant that's why we'll just pick them up oh it's worth
43:14it
43:23at that age if you're not going to be looking to put them to custody and there's no point charging
43:27them
43:27you're only looking for a charge to object to their bail otherwise you just leave them out and send the
43:31to the dpp but while the files of the dpp waiting months for directions they're just they're just
43:37a whole set committing crimes
43:42so here two young fellas here they come in on a bike our man here goes over to the bike
43:50he's a ball cutter's on him here so he gets the lock off now we've just noticed here
43:54to see here and under this jacket you know it is a logo or a rip it's actually there's a
44:00tear in the
44:00jacket and the the pants is identifiable enough there's like a gray or a light blue patch run the
44:06hallway down the back the cap of it and there's a blue under zippy there after the search this morning
44:14then we got this jacket one you can see it here it's distinctive enough with the the tear in the
44:24jacket yeah that's the jacket he was wearing there was an inside and blue hoodie we're sure that's it
44:34and the pants
44:37kind of unique enough there you can see there's like patches covering the cap area of it that's the pants
44:45with young men's like that you need to get them in early in the day because there's a lot of
44:48questioning to be done you need to arrange a parent or a guardian and if none of them agree you
44:53need to
44:53arrange 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 to organize 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
45:08it's unique sample for a unique incident there's a lot in it now here's our boy here with the locky
45:17took
45:17so when he swung the lock at him he actually injured his ankle
45:22that's a bike owner and he received um medical attention after it's just an ankle injury nothing
45:29major but there's bad swelling and bruising there'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 bypass
45:43the caution to deem him unsuitable in national juvenile office so if they deem him unsuitable
45:47that would give us permission to charge and bring before a special court tomorrow but the problem we
45:51have is over some uh with a bed so we can bring him to court and object to his bail
45:57but if there's no bed
45:58in over some we'd have to make that inquiry and if over sign up over son don't have a bed
46:03the judge
46:03won't even hear our objection so in spite of the strength of the evidence the strength of our objection
46:08and our obvious fears that we'll be further offenses committed it's all irrelevant if over some say
46:14they don't have accommodation for him and at the moment i know right now it's for so hopefully
46:17someone might be released in the afternoon overnight or tomorrow morning when we go to court
46:21probably be a special sitting tomorrow because there's going to be a long day with interviews
46:24and 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
46:37beds available in over some they can only guarantee you the bed that's available
46:41at the time you're going to object them to bail literally five minutes before it
46:45so there might be a bed at 11 am and if your objection is at 12 pm at midday the
46:49bank will be gone
46:50so it's a real lottery
46:59so
47:09so
47:10so
47:36I'm just looking for an ETA in relation to a call for a suicidal male.
47:41Control, we have an approximate location. Would you notify Coast Guard first, please? Over.
47:48We're not counsellors, we're not psychiatric professionals, but we might prevent them from doing something that the rest of their
47:56family will have to live with for the rest of their lives.
48:00Put the knife down, girl. Put the knife down. I'm away from it.
48:11I'm away from it.
48:11I'm away from it.
48:40I'm away from it.
48:41I'm away from it.
48:44I'm away from it.
48:49I'm away from it.
48:50I'm away from it.
