When we get there, there was the one window...
...which was broken...
...and then...
Clearly that was a sign of there was someone inside.
Hey!
Don't move, freeze!
He cut it on...
So what we did is, I took off the sack off the suspect...
...and his hand was sticking out...
...and he was dripping blood onto the floor.
Hey! Stop!
Stop.
So we had a break in in one of our complex's.
The client reported it to us and what we do...
...is we normally go out to the site and we do an investigation...
...to see how they got into the complex.
I've just done a U-turn.
The guys have pushed through the palisade fence.
They've headed up to Witkoppen.
I let my brothers know that the suspects...
...were running down Cedar on their way to Witkoppen.
If they could try cut them off on Wikoppen somehow.
-Good Morning, guys. -Morning.
Good morning.
You know what, I love my sleep too much.
On a weekend, I like to sleep in late and...
...you know, it can be difficult to get me out of bed.
-Did you have a good sleep? -Yeah, of course.
Where you going to now?
To work or to dive?
I'm gonna go dive.
To dive.
We've gotta very close family.
My dad's, actually from Germany...
but he's been here for over 40 years.
You know what temperature is outside?
Its freezing, that's all I know.
Jackie's my sister and...
...she's...
...married to JP, so he's not just my boss.
He's also my brother-in-law,
hence why there's a lot of old photos of him around the house.
Like all the other guys, you know, I need to...
You've gotta have a hobby.
Something that...
...you can escape with.
Diving is definitely that hobby for me.
Diving is one of those things, you know...
Again it takes my mind off, you know,
the crime and all the trouble that's around.
I get to jump in the pool a little bit.
So, what we'll be doing basically today in the pool session is that...
...I'm just going over some practice.
So not a lot of the guys know that...
...I'm actually training to become a scuba instructor.
You know dealing with crime everyday, its very stressful...
...and very hectic.
Even dealing with your cards and...
...that kind of stuff you're on call 24/7.
What's nice is that diving, you go under the water.
No one can even say anything.
You know, it's quiet serene.
Okay so, we've just arrived at my diving school...
They accredited paddy dive school.
So let's get going.
As you can see here, this is...
Basically, they're teaching classroom.
Dive master teaching stuff is on the board there.
Some of the guys are going through their dive masters at the moment.
We're gonna be doing some of that stuff in the pool as well.
I quite enjoy the teaching side of things, it's quite enjoyable.
Okay, lets run through some hand signals.
That means okay that means stop...
...going up, going down.
If you have a problem, show me where the problem is.
You wanna go up...
One of the things is that, I also was you know a diver.
I was one of the youngest divers ever at the time.
I started when I was about 13...
...and at the time, I think I was the youngest in the world.
First of all you got your cylinder, all right?
Your high pressure hose will go into here...
...and you can inflate and deflate.
Okay?
While I dive with one of the paddy schools...
...and I really like it there you know.
The guys are very chilled.
It's...
...very family orientated environment.
Everyone is there too...
...you know...
...have a good time.
Okay, we're ready to go.
When you're under water,
it's a completely different world.
You kind of float around which is really a great feeling.
Also you know, no one's kind of...
No one can talk under water, you know.
It's just kind of a serene environment...
...and it's really relaxing...
...and you become relaxed under the water...
...and a completely different world opens up to you.
Johannesburg is one of the most prosperous cities in Africa...
...and lots of illegal immigrants find their way here...
...in hope of finding jobs or money.
Hello.
And unfortunately,
amongst these immigrants, we have the bad apples.
JP's got this informant that we meet from time to time.
He comes up with some really useful information that we use.
I was tipped off by my informer that...
...amongst the illegal immigrants is a gang operating.
Although there's lots of people,
just regular people living here.
There's also the criminals who hide amongst them here.
We went into the township where we supposed to meet this guy.
We went to the cul-de-sac where we supposed to meet him...
...and we waited about 20 minutes and no one showed up.
Perhaps he was scared of Night Guard vehicles.
Quite often that these informants get cold feet...
...or they get threatened by some people...
...or they kind of just feel intimidated.
So it stretches all the way down into the valley...
...and onto the office parks there.
You know driving through these areas you know, it's...
If anything, it's an eye opener.
Pretty irritated with this guy.
He's taken away time out of my life that I'm not gonna get back again.
Really a waste of an afternoon.
Yesterday Zaine and I were in Kya Sands.
We went to meet the informer...
...but he didn't rock up.
So I'm gonna phone this guy now and see where he is...
...and what the problem is.
Yes, how is it, bru? Where you?
But yesterday we come to meet you, you didn't come.
What's going on, buddy?
I phoned the informer the next day.
This fool's all apologetic...
...and so I'm pretty... off at him.
So his story is that some of the gangsters...
...were actually there in the township at this specific point in time.
What you scared of?
You know me, we not...
We're not here to play games.
And he couldn't be seen talking to us...
because he would land up dead the next day.
Where there? Where you showed me last time?
This guy is still too scared to meet with me.
He's scared for his life,
but he gave me as much information as he could over the telephone.
How many guys?
They got guns?
Guns, guns. Do they have guns?
JP's informant told him that there's a gang in the Fourways area.
He got tipped off that they are looking and surveying places to rob.
So what we did is we planned a pre-operations...
...with the police to stop these guys...
...before they can even suss out the joint...
...or before they can actually rob the place.
We on our way to... Police station.
We gotta joint operation with SAPS,
South African Police Services.
We gotta tip off from one of our informants...
...that there's gonna be a robbery going down.
So we gonna make a move on these guys...
...before they even think about robbing the warehouses.
We're ready.
Zaine's already on his way there.
I want you guys to back him up.
You know what he's gonna do.
He's gonna go crazy.
He's gonna be the first one out.
Please look after princess over here.
Focus.
I don't want any...
...funny, falling over anthills and shit like that, okay?
Just... do what you're going there to do, okay?
I'm gonna be in the control room.
I'm gonna be watching your every move.
So listen carefully.
Listen what I tell you.
I'll tell you where you are on the map...
...and I'll tell you where you should be.
Listen carefully keep your ears open, keep your radios on, okay?
Let's get serious.
Get the fuck out of here.
Your post, your post.
I sent my team through to meet at the SAPS headquarters.
They had a briefing at the station.
First of all they have a parade and then they plan the strategy.
It's such a pleasure working with such professional police.
We met at the SAPS station.
We had a briefing with the crime team we were working with.
So I kind of gave them a brief on what the situation was...
...and how I think we should of moved in.
You know, I kind of briefed them on what the information was...
...and what different scenarios could play out...
...and how we could tackle those scenarios.
We just had our briefing with the police.
We just rolling to the location...
...where our informant told us the suspects were gonna be.
It's important for us to split the team up...
...and get a good coverage 2on the ground...
...because as soon as we roll up there, they are going to run.
So, we're going to be heading straight down...
...the main road here Witkoppen...
...and the rest of the team will be heading...
...down Cedar.
So let's see what happens.
Juliet Papa, Juliet Papa come in for Zulu one.
Zulu one, Zulu one, Zulu one, for channel one for Zulu one.
Listen, we rolling with the cops.
We are on our way to location...
...where your informant gave you the information.
What I need you to do is make sure the team is split up properly.
Tell him to come around.
Take William Nicol past Monte Casino...
...and head through to Cedar that way.
Yeah, confirm, confirm.
Everything for this mission was coordinated...
...from the new control room.
And then meet at corner Cedar and Boulevard.
Yeah, confirm, meet point, meet point Cedar.
Cedar and Boulevard, Boulevard confirm?
The situation is...
It's quite nerve wrecking.
Not sure what's going to happen,
but it's just another day in the life of the Night Guard team you know.
Roll with the punches and come out on top.
I've got visual on the suspects.
They are standing right there on the street corner.
Manuel, I've got visual on the suspects.
What's your location?
I'm behind you, bro. We can go in hard.
We can go in hard. Lets tackle these guys.
When we got to the scene, all the guys were huddled up...
...and were having a chat.
Not quite sure what they were chatting about...
...but as they looked up and saw us they scattered.
We pulled down. They saw us coming from the top of the hill.
By the time we got there, they all started sprinting.
Running through the palisade there by Cedar Square.
So we just all got out our car and started running after these guys,
trying to get as many of them as we could.
Why you running?
Do you think you can take me down? Your mother...
When I jumped out my vehicle and ran after the one,
I managed to grab him through the palisade.
Thanks to our new state of the art control room,
Dave and JP could see exactly where all our units were.
By communicating with all the units...
...and seeing visibly on the screen where we were positioned,
they could start strategising how to close these suspects down.
Zulu one, Zulu one, Zulu one, Zulu one, talk to me.
Coming in from channel one.
Yeah, listen, the suspects have fled the scene onto Cedar road.
Looks like they're heading down towards Witkoppen.
We giving a chase. We've jumped in our vehicles.
We need assistance as soon as possible.
Mike one please take SAPS back up to Zulu One's vehicle.
I've just done a U-turn.
The guys have pushed through the palisade fence.
They've headed up to Witkoppen.
I'm coming around to see if we can catch them.
I let my brothers know that the suspects...
...were running down Cedar on their way to Witkoppen.
If they could try cut them off on Wikoppen somehow.
It just becomes mayhem.
It's kind of like a controlled chaos.
Guys getting arrested, running away.
Guys getting tackled and thrown into the back of police vans.
You know, so its quite an intense thing.
Please, can you give me a description of the suspects?
Then we proceeded down Witkoppen...
...where we picked up the last of the guys.
Don't move. Don't even move.
And then, two guys started sprinting.
They started sprinting I just, I didn't think for one second.
I just started chasing after them.
It was two of them and one of me.
So I was out numbered, but I was catching them.
Next thing I knew, Moolie was right passed me.
Did a hand brake, turn in front of these oaks and we got both of them.
You know the scary thing for me was that we just up the road...
...and we're arresting suspects and going after,
would be house robbers and all that kind of stuff,
you know, and I kind of realized that...
this is right next door to where I live,
and I realize how important...
These operations we do are and I realize how important my job is.
Okay, well done guys.
We've got 19 suspects in custody.
Escort the van back to the station.
Lets book these guys in.
We all headed back to the police station, so we can book all these guys.
It's gonna be a lot of paperwork...
...but it has to be done.
You know what, it's always a good feeling...
...like when you at the police station. You know, and you're unloading the guys.
It's a really good feeling to, you know...
...fill that police truck up and to see some results.
In situations like this,
we take great pride in working with other security companies.
You know, it's all for the benefit of the community at the end of the day.
So you know, in situations like this...
...strength in numbers always works.
It was vital that me and Dave were in the control room together.
You know, Dave started out in the control room and...
...he's one of the best at getting the message through to the troops.
So this time, Dave wasn't part of the tactical team.
Wow, this is the best operation team ever.
He was inside the control room.
I had a phenomenal team in that control room...
...and the instructions got out quick and fast...
...and the co-ordination was fantastic.
Hi, baby.
My family has a game farm.
It's up in the Waterberg Mountains.
It's an awesome place.
I mean, we've had it for close onto nine years now.
It's just basically for family and I mean, we go there...
Try get there once a month if possible,
but with our schedules and that, time is crazy.
This is a very stressful industry.
So it's very important that we get away...
...to a place where there is total relaxation...
...and when you're in the middle of the bush,
it's just total total relaxation.
This is...
You see it doesn't actually flick.
This one... This is...
I like this one with a Kudu on it.
JP loves collecting knives.
He's got a hell of a collection of knives.
We are going to start also collecting guns now...
because we've all done our sport shooting...
...and we are going to start on a wardrobe full of...
...different types of firearms because it's my hobbie, it's my life.
I'm always carrying a gun.
Look we still take phone calls, but...
...at least we not dealing with a situation on the ground.
The rest of our team is doing it.
Basically, we're on our way to one of our complex...
...where there has been an attempted robbery.
Attempted robbery happened yesterday I think it was...
...and we going through to investigate and have a look at...
...you know, see if we can find any entry points,
any evidence of the guys coming through over the fence...
that kind of thing.
Unfortunately, when it's an attempt, you know,
There no break in or anything like that.
So it's often very difficult to find any evidence of the guys' shoe prints,
sometime you won't find anything.
So what we going to do is do a check of the perimeter,
speak to a couple of the residents,
and there's always three stories.
The one that gets reported...
...the one that somebody else has to...
Someone else tells us and then the truth.
You've got to try get as close to the truth...
...and as much information as possible.
So we had a break in one of our complex.
The client reported it to us...
...and what we do is we normally go out to the site...
...and we do a investigation to see how they got into the complex.
Okay, so as you can see here at the back,
I think it's highly unlikely they came through here.
So on-site, we saw that the electric fence was up.
There was no electric fence reports being done.
Reaction was called to the scene.
Reaction didn't see anything.
So what we did was we just trying to find out if these guys...
...did get into the complex...
...and how they would got into the complex.
Okay, let me just go look from the bottom, Zaine.
There's a little drainage area in the complex,
in the corner of the complex.
We went in there.
There was a grid over it.
So we were like this could be an entry point.
If they have to lift this.
There's a tunnel right there, so they can crawl.
If he lifted the grid and he went down there and he looked,
he climbed down there and he looked with the Go Pro...
...and he saw that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
So that could of been a way into it.
I can see that this tunnel system goes just behind the wall.
This is a storm water drain.
So what these guys do is they use storm water drains...
...to get into complex.
So we going to go check where the storm water drain is...
...and see if it's been tampered with.
Get into the sewer system there and see what we can see.
I honestly didn't think it had anything to do with the tunnels...
...because that grid was...
Zaine's a strong guy and he struggled to get that grid off.
So it's not like anyone could come and just push that grid off.
So I don't think it was that.
I just think it may be an inside job like a gardener or a domestic.
Just taking chances...
because the unit didn't actually get robbed.
The client just reported there was someone in his yard.
So he saw footsteps and stuff.
So we just have to see why this...
Because that's probably someone looking at the unit,
seeing what he can take and stuff.
The thing is what's concerning me the most...
...is why would he come through the storm drain.
There's two houses on either side of the storm drain,
but he will go right past those two houses...
...and go straight to the house that's in the complex.
That's the furthest away.
It just doesn't... make sense to me.
We did take a drive around the opposite side as well...
...to check the fences there.
There were some areas where the fence...
...is quite close to the house...
...and there might be a slight possibility...
...that the guys could...
...over the fence and get onto the wall.
But again, there was no evidence to suggest that happened.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's the cover there and you can see...
It hasn't been tampered with.
We looked if we could see anything there,
but all the drains, all the manholes were covered.
You could see there was no recent activity.
So we don't know how these people got in,if they got into the complex.
Scott.
Zaine here, how's it...?
Sorry to trouble you again, man.
Listen, I went through...
I've got my whole team here.
We've gone through this complex with a fine tooth comb.
There's no way someone came over the fence.
Not with the new system you guys have put in...
...and all that kind of stuff.
As Zaine called the client,
the client informed Zaine that there's a property...
...that's abandoned in a complex.
So what we did is we went to that complex property...
just to see if someone could've got in through there...
...or if someone's inside there.
Normally what happens is,
when there is vacant houses in these complex,
obviously residents can't find tenants to fill the house,
Criminals catch wind of this...
...and they might not live in the house,
but on their escape route,
they design their escape route to go into that house...
...and then wait for the heat to die down...
...then escape from the complex.
So we've picked up on this MO.
So what we do is when we come to our complex...
...is we always check the vacant lots.
I went through to the empty house...
...and we, you know, just had a look around there.
When Trev jumped the wall,
he managed to set the alarm off.
I jumped on the wall and I looked over into the yard...
...and as I looked over there was a beam that crossed the top of the wall.
So if someone does jump over the wall, the alarm went off straight away.
So we know definitely the intruders definitely didn't come...
...from that property,
because there were beams all around that house.
It's very easy to send a patrol car to check it out and...
...we can just sit back and you know, relax a little bit,
but it's not kind of what we do.
We're very hands on, get involved,
and we make sure that...
...we know what's going on as well as the client.
It's always nice to go on a game drive.
The first evening we get to the farm.
Just to see what's new and what's happening on the farm.
We never know if there's a new baby...
...or which animals are doing well.
So it's great to see.
The one animal you can count on seeing every single time you do a game drive...
...is an eland.
Her name is Ella.
She was rescued from a parcel of eland that we bought.
The mother gave fall and left her behind.
So we hand raised her and now she's part of the family.
The only problem is she doesn't think she's an eland.
She think she's a human.
Ella does not like to let us go out of her sight.
Even when we go on game drives, she's behind the game gear.
She trots along even if we go on half an hour, hour game drive.
She's still behind us.
She'll do up to like 50 k behind us.
Just following us the whole time.
We need one more.
When it comes to cooking at the farm,
me and Zaine get stuck into it...
because we know I love cooking, Zaine loves cooking.
So at the end of the day, everyone's going to get a good chow.
JP always sits on the couch relaxes.
My dad... chills out now.
We like to let my mom chill out also...
because she used to do all the cooking.
Now that me and Zaine have taken over, she can chill and relax.
Guys, come! Dinner's ready.
-Melis! -Thank you.
Zaine normally does most of the cooking.
He's not here tonight.
So Moolie's taking care of that this evening.
Okay.
Thank you.
No.
My dad is the same guy that he was when we were kids.
I can see the same qualities and the same...
...stories and lessons that he teaches my two children...
...and Zaine's two children.
Stories about...
what to look out for, the dangers of life,
how to live your life,
and I think its these stern qualities that brought us up...
...to be who we are today.
My dad was a little irritated...
...because he likes that when the family goes away,
that we all go away together...
...and not one person stays in Jo'burg.
My dad gets irritated.
My dad likes family.
He likes us all to be together the whole time.
That's why we're a strong bond.
So theoretically he packs his car,
then he gets in his car at 12:00 and comes here.
-Yeah, it's gonna be an hour or two... -He'll be here tomorrow at 3.
We on our way to a call out in...
One of the guys out there hit his panic button...
...and the controller made contact with him...
...and he said there's...
...some guys breaking into his shed.
He needs urgent back up.
So we're on our way there.
It's in quite a dodgy area in Kyalami.
So let's see what we can do.
The guy lives on a property out in the middle of nowhere.
So it is quite a vulnerable spot for him.
There is a township right across the road.
He's got electric fence.
Yeah, we arrived...
...and then Trevor and I went to the other side of the building...
...and then Zaine went to speak to the client.
Okay.
Yeah, I think the client did a good thing.
He is a tough guy as we know 'cause he is our client.
He has his own gun.
For him not to take the action into his own hands...
...was actually quite a good thing.
He did the right thing. He pressed his panic.
He waited for us to arrive. He kept his eyes on the suspect.
You see anything?
Yeah, me and Trevor...
...we went to the other side...
...and we got each other's back, covering each other and then...
Until we get to the back side.
He's there.
Trev...
When we get there,
there was the one window which was broken...
...and clearly that was a sign that there was someone inside.
Don't move.
Hey!
Okay.
When we get there,
there was the one window which was broken...
...and clearly that was a sign that there was someone inside.
Don't move.
Hey!
Done move! Freeze!
Stay still, don't move.
Don't move.
Freeze.
Looks like he...
So what we did is I took the sack off the suspect,
and his hand was sticking out and he was dripping blood onto the floor.
First thing I noticed about this guy is he was very old.
He must of been desperate.
Please, don't...
Don't move.
-Nothing. -Okay.
Nothing. There's nothing here.
-Clear! -Who you here with?
What are you doing here?
Yeah, so it was a little bit spooky, the situation,
because I was left there with the suspect,
but he was an old suspect and he cut his hands open...
...and he was bleeding and stuff and I was telling him to,
"No, don't move. Don't move."
"Where, who you here with?"
And he wasn't responding to me.
So I didn't know what he was thinking or what he was going to do.
It was kind of scary.
-Clear! -Clear!
They're there. There.
Hey! Stop!
Stop!
I'll watch this guy.
Stop.
Yeah, when he ran away,
we chased him through the driveway which is 150 meters.
Just next to the property of our client,
there is a location.
And then, so that guy...
...he ran through the location.
So we had no other option, but to follow him.
Careful, gents.
Careful.
I and Zaine we followed him...
...and then he thought that...
...because of now he was running into the location...
...now we're going to lose him and then so...
-Freeze! -On your knees!
Don't move.
You know what is happening now?
You are under arrest for breaking and entering.
Do you understand?
We seriously... outnumbered here.
I'm not fucking joking.
Hold the suspect up!
Help him up.
Let's get the... out of here, Dave.
You walk first, I'll cover.
I got your back, brother.
Camera crew... stay close.
I waited with the suspect.
The ambulance arrived and they put the suspect inside the ambulance.
They nursed his wound.
And after the ambulance went,
the client showed me where the township was.
I didn't go in by myself...
...because I didn't know where Zaine and Dave were.
So I stayed in the car with the client.
The next thing I saw was Zaine and Dave bringing the suspect to the car.
So well done, boys!
End of the day...
the other guy, he hurt himself...
...and then the other one ran away,
but he couldn't make it because...
...we always win wherever we go.
It's going to be okay.
