1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: And pleased to say that joining me in the studio

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: right now as we do here from the Northern Territory

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: Police most Wednesday mornings, but joining me in the studio

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: is Commander David Moore as well as Detective Acting Senior

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Sergeant Chris Humphries from TRIDENT. Good morning to you.

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: Boss, Good morning, good morning to your listeners.

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: Good to have you in the studio now. David, I

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: might go to you first, if that's okay, and ask

9
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: you there has been a bit of coverage over the

10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: last week or so about a death at Royal Darwin Hospital.

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: Where are things at with this investigation.

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we've got we've basically got an incident here

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: at Ryal Dalen Hospital where we've obviously had a doctor

14
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: that actually a forty five year old male doctor who's

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: been charged with some child abuse material and obviously that

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: was on the fourteenth of February this year. Following that arrest,

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: he has been given bal and he will appear acord

18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: on the first of April of this year. But what

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: we also have is a second doctor obviously that we've

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: discovered through the emmergency services, has been deceased and this

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: is out located out near the All Darwin Hospital. Police

22
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: attend it at this stage and the circumstances appear to

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: be non suspicious. However, obviously we're still investigating that. Just

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: want to make it quite clear that there's no correlation

25
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: between that particular doctor who's been charged and this particular doctor.

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: There was some leading in relation to that, obviously, is

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: it this doctor has become deceased because is there a

28
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: leading because of the offending of the child pornography for

29
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: the other doctor. There's no correlation to that.

30
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's quite clear. So there's no correlation between

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: those two because that had certainly been the questioning and

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: the speculation.

33
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: I guess that's definitely. I can definitely state there's no

34
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: correlation whatsoever between between those two the first doctor has

35
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: been charged and the doctor that's deceased.

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: So is there still investigations ongoing in relation to this, Yes,

37
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: there is. I mean, look, hearing this or hearing about

38
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: this whole situation. You know, when I first had at

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: about the forty five year old doctor being charged in

40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: relation to alleged child abuse material, I mean my first

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: reaction was, people, are patients have those patients at the hospital?

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: Are they safe?

43
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 2: Well, I believe so, Katie. I believe so, and that's

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: something obviously. Look, we're not discovering anything more at this stage.

45
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: There's still a live investigation. Nevertheless, Look, it is alarming

46
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 2: obviously any types of offending in that nature does give

47
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: community a bit of obviously a heightened alarm, particularly patience.

48
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: But at this stage MI understanding it's still under investigation,

49
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: but the public is quite safe.

50
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. I want to move along because there

51
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: is so much to cover off this morning, and I

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: want to ask you about the arrest of a thirty

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: three year old male for indecent assault in the Darwin

54
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: CBD on Sunday morning. Now, at about two ten in

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: the morning, members in the area witness this man in

56
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: decently assaulting multiple victims outside of a licensed premises on

57
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: Mitchell Street, adjacent to Nuttle Place. I mean, it sounds

58
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: gross to put it bluntly, I suppose, but this thirty

59
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: three year old he is what's the situation Now? Has

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: he been charged, Jesse, he.

61
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: Has, Look, he's been arrested. He's expected to be charged

62
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: later today. So that's that's pretty much. But obviously, what

63
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: the main thing here is that we're obviously still investigating that.

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: It's still live, it's still raw, but we are urging

65
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: any victims that may have left the era prior to

66
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: talking to police to make contact on one three one

67
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: Triple four. Obviously seeking any further information in relation to that,

68
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: but we do have someone that's helping us with our

69
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: inquiries and we've led to believe there's possibly a charge

70
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: that may come today and obviously if that does, the

71
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: media will be informed.

72
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: Do we know how many victims there were?

73
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: No, I don't have that in front of me.

74
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: But there could potentially be more.

75
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: Hence why I'm seeking any other witnesses or anyone that

76
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: may feel that they are involved in the Internet or

77
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: know something about it help us with our inquiries.

78
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: Comander, I also just want to ask you before I

79
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: before I start to ask Chris a few questions about

80
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: some arrests that have happened through Trident, but before I

81
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: go there, this situation with hand sanitizer, right, so we're

82
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: talking about it. Yesterday we heard from the Chief Health

83
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Officer who had said it was more a situation where

84
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: there'd been some anecdotal evidence from the Northern Territory Police

85
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: more so in Central Australia. From my understanding about hand

86
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: sanitizer being misused by people who maybe can't get their

87
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: hands on alcohol. Is this something that's happening across the territory.

88
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not certain if it's across the territory. We

89
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: certainly have had some incidents, particularly in the southern region

90
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: where obviously, as you have alluded to, where we have

91
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: seen the consumption of hand sanitizer being consumed. That's obviously

92
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: quite alarming because even though it's not classified as a

93
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: volatile substance, its ingestion actually falls under the broader issue

94
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: of the poisoning and obviously we're more concerned with what

95
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: the chemicals could be doing to someone quite harmful. It

96
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: is a public health matter. But well I can say

97
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: is that we're obviously working very closely with the public

98
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: health to obviously address this and to look at the

99
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 2: bigger issue and obviously get that messaging out, particularly around

100
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: the dangers to it and looking at how many incidents

101
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: we're having an ongoing thing. Is it something that's larger

102
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: and what can we do to minimize the harm?

103
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: Are we going to get to a point where the

104
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: hands and he's got to be behind lockdoors.

105
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 2: Look, I hope not. I know we've been down that

106
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: path with mouthwash and other substances. I hope not. But

107
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, that's something that the

108
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: Health Agency will have to obviously determine and put something

109
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: up in relation to if they feel that's the case.

110
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: It's still look it's obviously still very raw, very live,

111
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: and we'll have a good look at that. But we're

112
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: working very closely with the Department of Health in relation

113
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: to this incident.

114
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: Now, if you have just joined us in the studio

115
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 1: with me this morning, Commander David Moore and Detective Acting

116
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: Senior Sergeant Chris Humphries from Strikeforce Trident. Now, Chris, I

117
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: understand that just this morning you guys have been out

118
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: and investigating something to do with Molotov cocktails.

119
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: Is that right?

120
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: That was a bit of yesterday, Kama, But I can

121
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 3: talk to this morning. We got to work straight away

122
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: and there was a couple of stolen vehicles from the

123
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: Parmesan Bus Exchange. We've since then recovered those vehicles. We've

124
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 3: arrested two offenders out of a bunch we're still looking

125
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: for the rest, and we also arrested two offenders from

126
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: a burglary that occurred yesterday morning at midnight yesterday at

127
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: a business in Fanny Bay, a pub down there. Yeah right,

128
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: and that was all within the first hour of this morning,

129
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 3: so it was a quick start.

130
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Hit the ground running, mate. I hope you'd had a

131
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: coffee at home first, Yeah, well I had.

132
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: One on the way and actually make normal's coffee. Yesterday

133
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 3: was a busy day as well. Could we had that

134
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 3: response to that burgery. Subsequent investigations we had to identify

135
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 3: those offenders led to the arrest this morning. We also

136
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: arrested three offenders yesterday, a nineteen year old, at twenty

137
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: three year old and a thirty year old for an

138
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: unlawful entry that happened at a Nightcliff pub. Earlier in

139
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: the week We arrested a sixteen year old for a

140
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 3: robbery that occurred in Crame at bottle shop on the weekend.

141
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 3: GDS actually arrested the first one on the weekend. They

142
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: did a great response. We followed up with a subsequent

143
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: arrest and that was both the offenders now in custody

144
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: and there was there was a search weren't done by

145
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: a few people in our team yesterday on a fellow

146
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: we arrested last week he was arrested for property crime

147
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: and for stolen motor vehicle offending and he's currently on

148
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,679
Speaker 3: remand in prison. But we worked out where he was staying.

149
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: We executed a search, weren't at his unit in the

150
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: Darwin CBD, and we recovered a bunch of stolen property

151
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: and also a box of pre made malts of cocktails,

152
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: which was a strange fine but it was a good

153
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: one to get back and it's something we can use

154
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: now as intelligence for that person going forward.

155
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: Books.

156
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: So what you know, like to to you know, someone

157
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: like me who's got no idea what you'd have a

158
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: box of Molotov cocktails for?

159
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: What?

160
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: You know? What would he know? So what you'd be

161
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: planning on using it for? But what would somebody have

162
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: something like that in their possession for.

163
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: I can't talk to his mindset, Katie, but generally most

164
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 3: people know that, you know, you throw them at things

165
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: and they set on fire. So there was a bunch

166
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: of bottles filled with different sort of flammable liquids with

167
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: little bits of fabric coming at the top or boxed

168
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: dot ready to go, and some numb chucks which was

169
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: a weird one as well, but they've all been seized.

170
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: Now they're going to go on to top of his

171
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: prosecution files, okay, and hopefully, you know, we can keep

172
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: an eye him from here on in.

173
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: So that was following a search at his at where

174
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: he'd been staying after he was already in custody from

175
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: previous offending. By the sounds of USh, Yeah.

176
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 3: Katie, just chasing our tail a bit sometimes for work.

177
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: But we got we ended up doing that search went

178
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 3: yesterday and it was a good find I think.

179
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: So a box of them. Yeah, it was like a.

180
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: Probably about fifteen or sixteen in a plastic box and

181
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: it was just it's just an odd one and coupled

182
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 3: with the circumstances around him as well, I think it's

183
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: just a a.

184
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: Bit in relation to that, as lines inquiry still need

185
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: to be established as to why what the intention was

186
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: Trent's got that. So they're looking heavily at that.

187
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, it is alarming. Hey, I mean with all

188
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: it sounds like you guys, I mean Trydent's always run

189
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: off their feet, right, like you guys have always got

190
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: so much going on. But in relation to so, you

191
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: said there was stolen vehicles this morning at the Palmerston

192
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: Bus Exchange.

193
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: Was that right, two of them when I left work.

194
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 3: That was what I understand. I'm not sure if one

195
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: was stolen from there or they were both stolen from there,

196
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: but there was definitely at least one style from there.

197
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 3: And we've managed through basically interrogating social media. I've got

198
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: an idea about who these people might be, and we're

199
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: able to locate the vehicles. Two of the offenders have

200
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: been arrested and the team are just trying to dig

201
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 3: into who the co offenders are and things like that.

202
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: Still active, Yeah, working quickly. Result first thing, absolutely, Yeah, absolutely,

203
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: it sounds that way. Hey, I know you'd mentioned some

204
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: of the other incidents where arrests have been made. Now,

205
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: one of the ones that really got everybody's attention over

206
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: the course of the weekend was that situation where three

207
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: male youths were arrested in relation to a number of

208
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: property offenses on Saturday. My understanding is that they started

209
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: out at a residence in Zicoli. They then also there

210
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: was a thirty five year old man not too far

211
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: away that was allegedly struck in the head by a rock.

212
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: Then you had a situation where there was another person

213
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: where there'd been reports or sorry another business that time.

214
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 1: We spoke to that business owner who was targeted on

215
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: the Stuart Highway and Berrima. I mean the list went on.

216
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: Then you arrested these three eleven, fourteen and sixteen. Yes,

217
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: it was.

218
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: It was a busy one, Katie. I started getting calls

219
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 3: at about eleven o'clock at night on Friday, yep, and

220
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: we sort of ramped up a response from there. GDS

221
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 3: actually were the first ones to locate and when they

222
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: attended a robbery in Pinelands and it had a cordon

223
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: off area and eventually we brought those three in. They

224
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: were found they were one of them is still under investigation,

225
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: but the sixteen to eleven year old were found to

226
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 3: be offenders in the aforementioned defending I think everything you said,

227
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: except for maybe that rock throwing incident which is still

228
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: under investigation. During the ram rate of one of those

229
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 3: businesses you mentioned, I think it's out out near Pinelands

230
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 3: or Bram area, there was a bunch of compound bows

231
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: and aerostyle. So we also managed to recover two out

232
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: of the three compound bows and Holly Bavaros that was

233
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 3: just by continuing to engage with the family that was

234
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: assisting us with our inquiries and they produced them for us,

235
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 3: which it was a great result from them. Comcrudos to

236
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: them and you know that was a good recovery as well.

237
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 3: The next day we actually arrested the third offender added

238
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: up address in Parmer and that was where the second

239
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 3: bow and arrow was.

240
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, I mean it does still seem like car

241
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: fift and you know, like that people will know youths

242
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases trying to steal cars is

243
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: a major issue for the Northern Territory place. I mean,

244
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: is it still a situation where a lot of those

245
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: stolen vehicles are being taken out the West Daily region

246
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: like they had been towards the end of last year,

247
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: or what's the situation at the moment.

248
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 3: That is the trend, and that was sort of the

249
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: situation this morning. But we have a few different because

250
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: we're sort of on the pulse pretty well and trident,

251
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: which is good. We have a few different groups and

252
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 3: a lot of those West Daily West Arms sort of

253
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: people are involved in that sort of offending going back

254
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: and forward to community and style cars and we have

255
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: local groups here and obviously when we arrest and they

256
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: get disrupted, and then obviously when they're released, hopefully they

257
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: get rehabilitated, but sometimes that's not the case and they

258
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: just go on to keep going. And yeah, and so

259
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: we get pretty familiar with them. Yeah, the team's really

260
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 3: good at identifying them pretty quickly.

261
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: I'll bet you are. I'll bet you know exactly who

262
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: you're on to very often. Look, I really appreciate you

263
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: both coming into the studio this morning. Is there anything

264
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: else I should be aware of before I let you go?

265
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much that you've been out to

266
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: obviously over the course of the week.

267
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 3: Just tell you one more thing, Katie. It's just to

268
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: highlight how busy we've been. So this month alone, one

269
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: hundred and two arrests, one hundred and twenty six prosecutions,

270
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 3: and over the last three months we've had three hundred

271
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: and twenty six arrests by my account yesterday afternoon. So

272
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 3: we're just you know, flat flat tilted there all the time.

273
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 3: But I just want to highlight what we've been doing.

274
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely, and appreciated by the Northern Territory community, I

275
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: think as well, particularly if you've had your car stolen

276
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: or your home's been broken into. You want to know

277
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: that the police are out there. They're doing their best

278
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: to go and catch these people that are offending. So

279
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean that goes to show that there is a

280
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: lot going on. You guys are out and about trying

281
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: to make sure that you're able to, you know, to

282
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: catch those that are breaking the law.

283
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: Just a final thing for me, Katie look at and

284
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a plug obviously to those hard

285
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 2: working General Duties offices as well as tried and we've

286
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: got strikesforce viper, etcetera, lyra in DV. As you can

287
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: see from some of those statistics in some of the

288
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: w there's a lot of great work going on and

289
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: in trying to keep people safe from reduced crime. You know,

290
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 2: it is it is endless, but at the end of

291
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: the day, we'll still keep making great strides to the

292
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: people to feel safe and out in the all and territory.

293
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: Good stuff, we'll Commander David Moore and Detective Acting Senior

294
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,960

00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for your time this morning. Thanks, thank you,
