What Trevor's mission was, was not to buy the drugs...
...but to get the guy to offer him drugs.
He pushed the drugs on me so I said okay ja sweet,
and he went somewhere and got the drugs.
Okay JP just radioed in now,
he wants me to get medical back up.
I don't know what for.
I don't know if there has been a robbery and somebody is injured.
I got a call from JP to respond to the house,
I don't know exactly what I am responding to…
Come help me here.
The car is running and this oke is inside here.
On approach, I saw three suspects running through the bush up the hill.
I can see a lot of these guys have been warned by someone.
They are already starting to move off.
You can see these guys carrying timber on the right hand side already.
It's always a case in operations...
...where suspects get warned of what we are about to do...
...and it actually messes up our whole day.
On approach, I saw three suspects running through the bush up the hill.
I jumped out of my car and went for one of the suspects.
Man, I missed him...
I really don't ever miss people but on this occasion I missed him.
The wall there,
but let's go up.
I can see the guys running there.
I jumped in my car and gave chase.
See them running there.
On giving chase, I saw the three suspects running to a shopping Center.
All three of them were running down the corridor.
I saw two of them go down the stairs,
and one of them tried to escape into the bathroom on the right.
I am giving you 5 seconds to come out here.
I ran towards the bathrooms...
...and I saw the other two guys were heading on.
So, I cut my losses and gave chase into the bathroom.
5 seconds buddy...
...one...
...two…
There is a guy hiding in here. I saw him go in here.
Watch it he is anonymous.
Ladies bathroom first.
In this circumstance, I always search the first room first...
...which was a ladies room.
Somebody.
And when I knocked on the door, a lady in the back went somebody,
so I was like that is definitely not him.
I made my way into the men's bathroom.
When I worked my way through I saw there was one door sealed,
I kind of knew it had to be him inside there was no one else.
Brother I am giving you 2 minutes.
Don't be clever.
When I looked over the stall, he looked up at me...
...and then he kind of froze for a second...
...and then he pulled down his pants and sat on the toilet.
Come!
I am not going anywhere open.
Young man, you've got 2 seconds to open here.
I will wait here the whole day.
I said to him, brother, you can sit there the whole day,
-but you are going to jail.
Listen don't be clever.
-I am on the toilet. -No you are not!
That's fine, you stay here because I'm gonna...wait.
When you come out I'm gonna arrest you.
Take all the...time you want,
Don't talk...
You're wasting your own time.
This guy thinks he is clever.
Is it possible to close here?
There is a suspect inside here and he has locked himself in the toilet.
Once I saw that the bathroom was quite sealed off...
...with basically one way in one way out.
And it was just a men's and a women's bathroom,
I knew I had my guy.
You don't work for here hey?
The problem with this site was that, it wasn't the site that I was protecting,
so I didn't really have jurisdiction on what I was allowed to do,
can we just kick the door in,
I don't want to damage other client's property.
I have got one of the suspects.
One of the suspects locked in the bathroom in the shopping center,
please send police backup as soon as possible,
I need assistance.
So what I did was I called the police, I waited for back up,
I told the security that was on site to watch the guy.
Watch it.
Airfox come into...
Working with the SAPS is awesome.
When we call them and get backup like that...
...and they are always willing to help us,
and they know if we call and we need assistance,
we tell them the location,
we need that assistance flipping quickly.
-No one came out? -He's still inside?
He has been... for 20 minutes.
The other security guards had managed to get some tools...
...and open the actual door.
And true as hell there was the oke sitting.
When I told this guy come on stop wasting time,
he just kind of stared at me.
I had told this guy, you're wasting your time,
he is sitting there pretending to take a...
We all know you are not taking a...
You might have been... yourself,
but you definitely weren't taking a...
When we finally got him off the toilet and pulled his pants up,
I just took him by his collar and his pants.
Why you don't listen hey?
You don't...listen.
It's really something when you arrest these criminals...
...and you put another one behind bars.
You have got to question them and try get information,
and try make arrests on the other three.
We are just visiting this abandoned house,
there is word of a lot of drug dealing...
...and pretty much bad stuff going on inside here.
We are just going to go in and ask them questions.
We are not going to arrest anybody,
we are not going to hurt anybody, we are just going to ask some questions.
We think crime is emanating from here as well,
so let's go and see what we can find.
We got this area that we've got a lot of security work in,
and there is a few dilapidated buildings where people are too scared to live in.
So it's over populated by vagrants just moving in,
living there, no rent nothing,
because nobody is there to take ownership of the building.
Obviously, we are taking a risk going into this den all by ourselves,
but we backed ourselves, we had enough fire power...
...if we had to get out of a situation there.
We wanted to understand who was living there...
...and what were they doing there.
Are there people with jobs?
Don't they have jobs?
Are they involved in crime?
What is happening in this house?
It's an unhealthy situation,
we have a lot of complexes in this area,
we protect a lot of clients in this area,
and we feel that crime could be emanating from this abandoned house.
Hello.
Hi how are you?
Good
I just want to ask you some questions,
how many people are living inside here?
As soon as we walked in there,
we just got a bad feeling,
it was very eerie,
rats running around,
dark and dingy,
every single room was locked up with a chain...
...as to say that those guys are at work at the moment.
However we found guys who were not at work,
so we were trying to understand if those guys were not working.
What are they doing?
How are they surviving?
Howzit my buddy?
How many guys are staying in this building?
50?
Guys that are living here?
While questioning these guys, JP had this one guy,
the first guy we spotted.
He was questioning him while I was busy with the other guy.
When we asked them both how many people were staying there,
I got an answer of 60 people from my guy and JP got an answer of five from his guy,
so they weren't making sense.
So, I am going to push on the side of 60 people...
...because of the amount of rubbish and the movement through there.
It was busy.
Okay guys I just want to tell you,
I am just coming here to tell you,
I don't want you that side by the complexes.
I don't want you making trouble that side.
I have got reports that the people that are stealing...
...and the people they are selling the Ganja they are living here.
This is the reports I have got,
so I just need you guys to please stay out of trouble.
We kind of introduced them to the brand...
...and said do you know Night Guard?
and they do know us from the area...
That's my company Night Guard.
Yeah.
We are here to help the people,
we don't want to fight but you have to help me.
We don't want you that side in the complexes making trouble okay?
You got it?
Thanks gents, thanks for your cooperation, sharp.
It places more fear into a would be criminal,
when he sees that the security guards in the surrounding complexes...
...actually have a team of hard-core guys backing them up.
It kind of sends a message,
don't come and play in our neck of the woods.
So it's imperative that we show face,
and we do these kind of missions all the time.
Spreading the word like that makes the difference between us...
...having to arrest these guys,
when they break in or just changing their minds...
...and not committing crime at all.
Zaine and I were doing our routine patrol...
...and we came across one of our senior citizens.
He is a local.
This particular senior citizen goes for long walks...
...and tends to forget the way home.
So it's our duty to look after all the residents in our area,
so we end up giving him a lift home.
-Hello how are you? -This is my brother,
you met him before.
Hi, JP. Nice to meet you.
Let's go.
It gets quite confusing,
because there is a few different boomed areas.
So once he walks out of the first boom and into the second boom...
...or into the third boomed area.
It does get a bit confusing and he tends to get lost sometimes...
...and it's our job to pick him up and make sure he gets home safely.
He is a very cute guy,
he introduces himself to us every single time,
so we have met him a good few times and really got to know this guy.
Ja I love these big indigenous trees in this area,
they are beautiful.
It feels good to help a senior citizen,
I sometimes think to myself,
one day that is going to be me getting lost in the streets,
and I would like to know there are a bunch of decent citizens...
...that are going to look after me.
For... sakes look at me and stand in a straight... line.
It's like... dealing with kids.
One of our shopping centers have told us...
...that there is a guy selling drugs to the kids...
...and to everyone that is walking past.
Okay this is what we are going to do, we are going to have a sting operation.
Okay, first of all, Trevor is going to be the kid buying the dope.
He is going to go walk there to the site.
The moment they see us around,
the deal is off,
so Trevor's going to be walking there.
He is going to talk to the guy,
the guy is going to offer him whatever.
As that happens,
Zaine, you are going to be running in from the shopping center side, okay?
You are going to be running in from the shopping center side.
Me and Moolie are going to be giving you support,
we are going to be in the black Jeep.
As you guys arrest the guy,
we are going to ride on in and give you support.
We are not a task force...
...that deals in the polices portfolio of taking drug dealers...
...and that off the street.
However the community expects us to take pride in our streets...
...and help them clean the streets up.
Klaus you are just going to help put the cameras in the car.
Trevor is going to be using another private vehicle.
You're gonna put the camera in there, position the camera...
...so that we can get some good footage of the guy...
...and what he is selling and what he is doing.
It should be nice and easy bearing in mind...
...there's a whole taxi association there.
Just now we get into, you know, we don't know who is who in the zoo.
People can get upset that we are arresting this guy,
it can turn into a big fight.
These small time dope dealers...
...although they may seem harmless to the rest of the community,
we have schools just a few blocks away...
...and we have word of kids buying drugs from these guys.
So we can't afford to leave them on the streets,
we have to get rid of them.
Okay guys the objective is to go in there hard.
We are arresting anybody who is selling drugs there.
We don't really give a... about the weed smokers,
but they are selling drugs to kids,
so we have to get these... off the streets okay?
-100 percent. -Cool.
They put me undercover, they made me the bait,
so what I had to do is approach this guy...
and then wait for him to push the drugs on me.
Once I have taken the drugs, they were going to cuff him,
throw him in the back of the car and take him to the police station.
Okay so you are going to be carrying in with you,
and then you are mic-ed up so that they can't see the mic.
-Ja, sweet that looks legit bro. -Nice Klaus.
So Klaus has put a hidden camera into a take-away packet,
which I carry then I use to film the whole scene.
Okay just keep your eyes front,
just use your peripheral vision,
and don't look directly at the okes.
You guys with the cameras can look anyway you like,
because those back windows are tinted real dark.
They are going to be on that side where the taxis are.
So let's just have a look,
see where they are standing today, who's, who in the zoo.
There is two places they can be standing,
as we turn right and we pass the garage,
you can see the taxi's standing there.
They can either be standing there,
it will be two guys...
...or as we pass the entrance to the shopping center to our right,
you will see there is a palisade fence behind rocks,
behind that they normally sit and also some of them gamble and stuff.
So that is where we will see where they are standing...
...and how we can stop the operation today.
Someone patch me to five end as well.
I am going to ask for a loose draw as well first...
...and then I will ask do you have anything else?
Ja ... you know this is...
Ja, there's one sitting there with that handicap cap,
so let's just drive past him and confirm.
That's our guy that is him,
that is one drug dealer.
What Trevor's mission was, was not to buy the drugs...
...but to get the guy to offer him drugs.
We were undercover at the petrol pump busy putting in gas.
Zaine was hiding in one of the other retail stores around the corner,
and the goal was as soon as this guy produced the drugs,
Zaine would charge him in and tackle him Zaine, the train style.
And we would come in from the petrol station...
...where we were putting in gas.
As I walked up to the guy and asked him for a loose cigarette,
he just started to gain his confidence and he was like...
I asked him for a loose draw,
I even did a little bit of bargaining with him.
I asked him for two for R5 rand,
it was supposed to be R6, so I got a R1 discount.
Awesome hey...
Do you have something else?
He pushed the drugs on me, so I said okay no sweet.
He said wait here, wait here.
He walked away,
I didn't really watch him I was too busy watching the fence,
but he went somewhere and got the drugs.
The guy went to a nearby dustbin,
picked up the product, brought the product through.
As soon as JP and Moolie pulled up,
the guy tried to take the drugs away from me quickly,
but I wasn't letting go,
because he said there the cops,
and he was trying to take them away from me.
Come lets go.
We swooped in.
We searched for more drugs and we found quite a bit or marijuana.
Stand there, put your hands there.
Give us that packet, guys listen…
Where is the packet that man was carrying?
No, I understand it but he had a packet.
We then transported him to the local police station,
where we handed him and his drugs over.
It's not a massive amount of marijuana,
I doubt whether he will be doing any time,
but we plan on doing these clean ups all the time,
and we just want these guys off of our street corners...
...and we want our kids safe.
Welcome to today's training course,
we are here today with SLA our medical service provider.
They are going to go through a refresher course of CPR with us.
We are meeting with our medical partners,
SLA for CPR training session.
I know all of you know what you are doing,
but time to time we all get a bit rusty,
so please pay careful attention.
Over to you.
Okay morning guys.
It's very important for all team member's to refresh themselves,
very often we are the first people on the scene,
and we could be the difference of saving someone's life or losing somebody.
It's also great to get together with our partners in…
When we are on the street together,
we're all working together with the paramedics...
...and all other emergency service providers.
So it's great team building as well,
but more importantly, we are there to save lives.
All right, we are going to start on the demonstration on the adult.
What is very importance to know is your stance,
You are going to be down on your knees, you want to keep your back in line,
keep your arms straight and locked.
You'd be able... Look what he's doing, you are going to interlock your fingers,
you want to compress that chest...
...at a compression rate of a 100 compressions per minute...
...allowing for decent recoil.
Important to remember always count out loud,
count to 30 give two breathes.
It's not so hard as it looks,
but you have to do that and make sure that you do that technique right.
Keep your arms locked in the elbow,
and push him little bit.
You don't want to push the baby's chest out his back,
he is a lot smaller than an adult,
so do it nice and slowly for us.
It's very important to know a little bit of CPR, and first aid.
You never know when it could save your buddies life...
...or someone in the office or even your partner.
When you get onto a scene and there is no one that can help,
it's first response.
Obviously, we don't want it to be where they think...
...they are doing the first aid,
it's just until the paramedics get there.
The importance of CPR is basically what we do is massaging the heart muscle...
...to keep the oxygen and blood circulating through the body,
so that we can get a spontaneous heart rate back.
Steady.
Two breaths.
...seven, eight, nine, ten...
Nice breathing, nice breathing.
In the middle of the training section,
Moolie had to go and respond for an alarm activation.
He got a call and then he had to go.
I just received a call from control,
just to give some back up to a response vehicle,
we have a panic call in one of our areas and we know usually at this time,
it's usually the guys lifting the gates off the rails...
...and ransacking the house.
So we just need to do a response and see if we can make an arrest.
So, what's going on? What's going on there?
What's wrong with it?
Did you speak to people?
So let's go look.
They have responded to the house and said there is nothing going on there,
but I am just going to go check it out...
...and jump over the wall and actually see what is going on.
They fixed the spot. I don't know why.
Based on the reaction officers,
when there is nobody home and they check the property,
they issue the area with a slip.
We are at the premises there is nobody here,
everything looks okay.
The electric fence is still on, the dog is here.
There is no body on the premises.
Did we contact the clients?
Okay we found the problem is he's got paradox outside beams,
which are probably sensitive.
so that is probably where we received the signal from.
We responded to a house that had a burglary signal,
we got to the property, Zaldy was already on site.
We check around and it was a false alarm,
because the guy has outside beams.
because their wing span spreads over a meter...
...setting off the outside beams,
so everything was in order, everything looks okay.
Now, we are rushing back to get some more medical training.
We are on our way to a complex...
...where two of the ground staff have failed their polygraph tests,
as well as, all evidence is pointing towards them.
So we are going in and going to pick them up with the help of SAPS...
...and we are going to take them into the police station...
...and question them further,
where we will take finger prints and with the finger prints,
we will just match up the finger prints.
And from there we will see if in fact they were in those two units.
On this particular day, JP phoned me for back up...
...to assist him in a case that was happening...
...with a few burglaries at this complex...
...where everything was pointing back at this Gardner and cleaner.
They both hopelessly failed the lie detector test.
It happened while the residents were not in, they were on holiday.
Items were taken.
The sliding doors were then moved closed.
Only people that we could suspect...
...that could be involved in the crime is the security,
the garden staff and the cleaning staff because they will know who is on holiday,
who is not there and be able to break in.
And they will know how to lift up the sliding door...
without breaking anything.
We polygraphed six guards they came out clean.
We polygraphed the five cleaning and gardening staff,
two of them came out dirty.
We need to take those two in for questioning and finger printing...
...perhaps we can solve those two cases.
Sometimes we call in the help of a polygraph specialist.
His job is to ascertain whether or not a person is lying.
So for instance,
there was one or two thefts at a particular estate,
and we decided that due to the nature of the way it was done,
and the fact that the two parties were away at the time,
it can only be from inside information.
The reason why we put our guys on lie detector tests...
...or people like that, is just to clear people
because people like to always point fingers at security first,
"Oh, no it's the security..."
...before they look at their own domestic workers...
...or people that actually work inside the complex.
So that is why we actually play open cards with people and say,
"Okay you think it's our guards, let's put them on a lie detector test,"
...and our guards always fly through the lie detector test.
Me and JP responded with the cops through to the first complex.
We managed to get the cleaner,
and then we were made aware that the Gardner...
...was working at another complex up the road.
I jumped into the car with the estate manager,
we shot off to the other complex.
Hello!
Samuel you just need to come with us when you finish okay?
Let's go, now.
When we got to the club house...
...and we actually got to speak to the guy to apprehend him,
I told him to pack his things and let's go.
He basically took it as a joke...
...and he just carried on cleaning the clubhouse.
Samuel leave the floor please,
this is more important.
You are wasting my time now.
I managed to get the guy in the car.
We took him through to the other complex where we got the cleaner lady...
...and we put them together and the cops took them for questioning.
Behind me the staff members are getting questioned...
...as to who knows what occurred.
They will be taken through to the station shortly.
I'm going to explain...
What we have to ascertain is that if these people were in fact responsible,
so they will be finger printed...
...and we will try look for evidence linking them to the crime.
Unfortunately for them, in their case they are going down either way,
both of them are illegal immigrants...
...and their papers have expired two years ago,
so they have already got two tickets out of here,
the one is to jail and the other is deportation.
So, those two people are still in custody,
and we just hope to get closure on this case.
We have a phone in client that says...
her husband at home sounds strange on the phone.
We have sent the paramedics there already so we are responding as well.
We had a phone in client...
...asked us just to pay a visit to her house.
She wasn't there at the time.
She is worried about her husband...
...who sounded depressed on the phone and is not taking her calls now.
She was very stressed out and worried about her husband...
...who happened to be saying some disturbing things on the telephone.
Okay JP just radio-ed in now...
for me to get medical back up,
I don't know what for.
I don't know if there has been a robbery or somebody is injured.
I got a call from JP to respond to a house,
I am not sure exactly what I am responding to,
but I was a few minutes behind JP...
...and suddenly I get a call from JP saying I must phone the medics.
I tried the intercom there was no answer,
the Gardner he obviously heard the intercom inside,
so he came to the gate.
Inside the garage?
Open quickly.
I asked him where is the husband.
Where is his employer?
And he said this guy is in the garage.
Hello?
The car is running, Moolie come help me here.
We kind of had an idea of what we might be dealing with,
so the control room dispatched a medical unit...
...as well as the tactical unit.
Come help me the car is running and this oke is inside here.
I kind of knew what I was dealing with here.
I knew it wasn't a burglary or robbery or that.
I always proceed with caution but I kind of knew what I was expecting.
As we opened the garage we knew the guy was gassing himself.
It was the fumes from the exhaust pipe, it was all in the air. I was choking.
If we were in there any longer we would have passed out.
The car was running, the fumes were thick in there,
I could hardly breathe.
When JP laid him on the ground I checked for his pulse,
To be honest when I felt his pulse,
it was so slight I thought that was tickets for him.
He's got a pulse.
This guy gassed himself in his car.
He's got a pulse.
A faint pulse, Sir.
We stood back and let the paramedics take over.
Does anybody know what happened here?
Apart from what you told me now about the gassing?
Was the vehicle on when you got here?
Vehicle was on,
there was a hose pipe inside the exhaust and stuck into the back window.
My control got a call from his wife,
saying that she was worried about this guy.
Geez the Paramedics were there quick,
they got there, they put the heart monitors on him,
they checked his pulse,
they stabilized him and then they put him on oxygen there.
Can you continue ventilating I am just going to fetch the stretcher.
Okay.
Here you go. Let's get him as close as we can,
there we go.
They assured us the vitals were there when they stabilized the patient.
-Okay you ready? -Yeah.
One, two, three, lift.
It's quite scary because I'm used to dealing with gunshots...
...and not people trying to kill themselves.
When the paramedics got there they were so calm,
it was like nothing actually really happened,
but I mean that is there job and how they have to deal with situations.
Okay you ready? One, two, three, lift.
Dealing with your own life and your own pressures,
especially in our industry...
...where we are dealing with horrible crime every single day of our lives,
we understand the toll the pressure can take...
...and how fragile the human mind is.
For us it was quite a thing to see,
and we're just glad we could stop this guy...
...before he had the chance to end it all,
there is always a solution out.
When the ambulance left,
reality actually kicked in what was going on.
it came down hard on me.
The husband was in the car and tried to commit suicide,
he is in the ambulance now.
He is on his way to Fourways Life.
Rather text me the ladies number and let me tell her he is okay.
Okay thanks.
It's just sad that somebody can let themselves get so depressed.
How's your lungs bro?
You are coughing like that.
I don't know it's...
I am fine. I just think it's a... way to go.
