Speaker 1: the studio right now, Northern Territory Police Commander of Darwin

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: and Road Policing Matt HOLLANDB Good morning to you.

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning Katie, and good morning to your listeners.

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 1: Now, firstly, I know you know, the story that's got

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: everybody talking on social media is this break in at

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: the Funny Bay supermarket. It was terrible to see these

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: young people and this sustained attempt really to get into

16
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: that supermarket.

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: I mean, you guys must find it quite frustrating as well.

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, it's frustrating for us, Katie, and I dare

19
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: say it's well obviously it's more frustrating for Manual and

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: his team at the supermarket. But on this occasion, four

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: people were apprehended in a stolen car and one has

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: been charged, one's been summoned to court and to have

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: been subject to youth diversion.

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: So I was going to ask you that because I

25
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: did see in the press release it said they'd be

26
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: subject to the provisions of the Youth Justice Act of

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and five, and I wasn't sure exactly what

28
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: that meant.

29
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at Katie, that means youth diversion, and you

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: know the provisions are there for people that are first

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: time offenders or very minimal involvement with the courts of

32
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: the justice system.

33
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: And I know there's not a huge amount more we

34
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: can say about that one at this point in time,

35
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: given the fact that one of those people is due

36
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: to appear in court today and charges have been laid.

37
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: Can I just ask, though, did we have a bit

38
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: of a situation where there was a bit of a

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: flare up over the weekend. Maybe not so much break ins,

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: but people trying to get into houses. I know I've

41
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: seen that on Stuart Park and also in fanny By. Yeah.

42
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: Look, Katie, it's not the only unlafluenttry that occurred over

43
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: the weekend. There were others there was were quite successful

44
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: and apprehending people for unlawfuluntries over the weekend. But you know,

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: apprehending the offenders is the you know, the best method

46
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: of crime prevention. It takes people off the straight that

47
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: it deals with the here and now in terms of

48
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: property crime.

49
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Ye sounds like it was a busy weekend for you guys, though,

50
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: was it. Yeah?

51
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: Look, this there was always there's always something happening. Some

52
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: things were good, other things were not so good. So

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: but yeah, the Fanny Bay supermarket was unfortunate in terms

54
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: of you know, we'd actually put a lot of work

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: into the Fanny Bay area during the wet season with

56
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: people congregating there. But yeah, this was this was not

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: not a good moment for It's.

58
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: Real and really disappointing, like you said, so disappointing for

59
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: the owners of that supermarket. We're going to catch up

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: with manual in a few minutes time.

61
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: Can I just ask you.

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: I know that I've been sent vision actually from my

63
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: own street where there was somebody trying to get into

64
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: a home on our street.

65
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 3: On Saturday night, I think it was or Sunday night.

66
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: What's your advice really for homeowners because it does seem

67
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: as though there are people out there maybe trying to

68
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: get inside. You know, we're all making sure that we're

69
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: locking our cars and locking our homes, but is that

70
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: the best piece of advice really?

71
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: Look, I think that it starts with basic home security.

72
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: Lock your doors at nighttime. Don't leave attractive items on

73
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: kitchen benches, particularly car keys and wallets and purses. It's

74
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: not a matter of being paranoid. It's a matter of

75
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: being proactive in protecting your own property. And for people

76
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: with CCTV, yeah, look, we encourage you to share it

77
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: with the police. Even if an offense hasn't been committed,

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: it might be at that particular place, it could provide

79
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: evidence in relation to a nearby crime. So you know,

80
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: the public, the community are our eyes in ears, so

81
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: we actually rely quite heavily on the community for information.

82
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

83
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

84
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: I want to ask as well, we know that there

85
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: was this suspicious vehicle in the rural area. Can you

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit more about it and your

87
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,119
Speaker 1: advice for parents and indeed young people.

88
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 3: I guess yeah.

89
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: Look, we've had more than one report of a man

90
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: in his fifties driving a silver Ford Ranger in the

91
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: rural area who's been following, photographing and approaching children that

92
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: you know, sort of sends some sort of negative message

93
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: to us. Absolutely, So you know, we're seeking the community's

94
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: help to try and identify that vehicle and the driver

95
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: of the vehicle. But we do encourage parents and cares

96
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 2: of young children to remember the three hours which is recognized,

97
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: react and report in terms of suspicious behavior.

98
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent.

99
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: And we've just got to keep an eye out and

100
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: I guess have that conversation with kids as well to

101
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: make sure that they know that they've got to be

102
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: aware of what's going on around them.

103
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Katie. It's you know, it's disturbing, but you know,

104
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: we'd like to push stop to it before anything else happens.

105
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: Hey, over the weekend as well, there was certainly a

106
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: lot happening. I know, police had a big focus on

107
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: our roads and making sure that people weren't getting behind

108
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: the wheel and drinking and driving and that type of thing.

109
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: How did you go, Yeah, look, over the course of

110
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: the long weekend, we breath tested five five hundred and

111
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: fifty people. We also drug tested one hundred and eighty

112
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 2: two people. There was five drink drivers detected and six

113
00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: drug drivers detected. So you know, on a ratio basis,

114
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: it's not too bad, but sadly, somebody died on our

115
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: roads over the weekend, so it's never I can't say

116
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: it was a good weekend because somebody lost their life

117
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: and you know their family won't be celebrating this year

118
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 2: at our road toll or we don't actually call it

119
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: the road toll anymore. We call the numbers that liest

120
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: lost on our road this year is six and it's

121
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: compared to six at the same time last year.

122
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as she said, you know, that's a terrible

123
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: situation for that family that's lost a loved one, and

124
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: it really is just a reminder to everybody just try

125
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: your beast to do the right thing on our roads.

126
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, nobody intends to have a crash, but being

127
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 2: under the influence of drugs or alcohol, it does, whether

128
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: you like it or not, whether you believe it or not,

129
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 2: it does inhibit your ability to drive. And you know,

130
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: you're talking milliseconds microseconds between having a crash and not

131
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: having a crash. So please don't drink and drive. Think

132
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: of yourself, think of your family, and think of the

133
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: world community.

134
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: Matt, I have just got a message from one of

135
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: our listeners asking Hi, Katie, are you able to ask

136
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: specifics on diversion What does it mean?

137
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: Look I it might be best if the diversion team

138
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: were to answer that, but it can be a variety

139
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: of different actions, including victim offender conferencing, including you know,

140
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: other activities which are designed to make young people who

141
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: with limited criminal history realize that the errors of their ways.

142
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: Well, we might see if we're able to have a

143
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: chat to somebody from the diversion team. Matt Holland By,
