0:00:02 > 0:00:05This time on Police 24/7...
0:00:05 > 0:00:09stolen antique furniture is hunted down by the Priority Policing Team.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14I've got a warrant to search the premises under the Theft Act, OK?
0:00:15 > 0:00:18On Gower, PC Phil Davies is on the hunt for an oil thief.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22That looks wet to me. That looks as if there's oil there.
0:00:24 > 0:00:29And officers on the night shift try to keep Swansea's party people safe.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Mike, sit up! Mike.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38This is a week in the life of the largest police force in Wales.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Seven days of action with the cops on the street
0:00:42 > 0:00:45and the criminals that they try to beat.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52This is Police 24/7.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Swansea, Wales' second largest city,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01with a population of almost a quarter of a million.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Like most urban areas, South Wales Police are fighting drug crime 24/7.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12The intel obviously came in last night
0:01:12 > 0:01:14that a quantity of controlled drugs is there as we speak.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Darren's been up this morning, had a quick look.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Tiny's going to do the door, via the ram hit.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21You've had a chance to have a look, haven't you?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Yeah, it's one big panel, by the look of it.- Yeah.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Sergeant Mike Francis is leading the Priority Policing Team,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31who are preparing to execute a warrant.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36The subject himself, Jordan McGuire, date of birth, 17th March, '92,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38he's got no warning markers.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39As far as the intel is concerned,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41the controlled drugs are somewhere on the premises.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Don't know exactly where.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45So it'll be in, secure, and a thorough search.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Is everyone happy?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51This elite team is tasked daily with the force priorities,
0:01:51 > 0:01:56and PC Lee Robbins has been part of the unit for the last nine years.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Priority Policing Team.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Literally whatever the priority is in the sector
0:02:00 > 0:02:02we're working in at that time.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05It might be burglaries, it might be drugs.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09We just target that for whatever period of time's required.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12The priority can change at any time, and then we'll just move on to
0:02:12 > 0:02:14whatever the bosses want us to actually target.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24The team are responding to intelligence which suggests
0:02:24 > 0:02:28the man at the address may have illegal pills in his possession.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35- Breach. Police!- Police!- Police!
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Stay back, show me your hands!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Came here, we're executing a drugs warrant here, all right?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42You're being detained while this warrant's carried out, all right?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- What's your name?- Jordan.- Do you live here?- Yes.- Anyone else?- No.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47OK, I'm going to take you downstairs, sit you down,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- and we'll have another chat down there, all right?- OK.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53OK, it's a drugs warrant we're executing.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Is there anything here that shouldn't be here?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- I've got pills for myself. - Where are they?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- In the bookcase.- OK.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It's been a straightforward knock for the team, as the suspect
0:03:02 > 0:03:04has offered up the evidence that they were looking for.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07This is what you pointed out over here, is that right?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Is this what you were referring to? - It is.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20The team have recovered what looks likely to be ecstasy tablets.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Things aren't looking good for McGuire.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- WATER GUSHES - Oh, Jesus!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Is the washing machine on?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Problem with your washing machine, mate.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38We've got a swimming pool in here now.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Have you got a mop or anything, mate?
0:03:40 > 0:03:44First item found is a clear plastic bag
0:03:44 > 0:03:45containing brown coloured tablets.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Quite simply, what is it?- Pills.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I'm now arresting you on suspicion of being in possession
0:03:52 > 0:03:54of a class A drug.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57The controlled drugs are there, we've taken them off the streets.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58No doubt at the weekend, they would've been
0:03:58 > 0:04:00flooded out throughout Swansea,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03so preventing that from happening is great.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08One wanted suspect arrested,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11and off to custody to answer some tough questions.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Come and stand in front there. - Stand there, Jord.- All right, mate.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Do you understand why you've been arrested?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28As per the evidence received by the officers,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31a drugs search warrant was executed at your home address.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Officers have entered and found a large quantity of MDMA,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37drugs, which is a class A drug,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39therefore, you've been arrested.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41I'm authorising your detention
0:04:41 > 0:04:42to secure and preserve evidence
0:04:42 > 0:04:45and to obtain evidence by way of questioning.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46- Do you understand all that so far?- Yeah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49You can go down.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- What number, Sarge?- 13, pal.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00When McGuire appeared before the courts, he was found guilty
0:05:00 > 0:05:05of possession of class A drugs, and was ordered to pay a £1,000 fine.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Just a few miles from Swansea city centre
0:05:18 > 0:05:20is the beautiful Gower Peninsula.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Its rich country landscape is a haven for holiday-makers.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35Policing the area for rural crime is the job of Gower cop PC Phil Davies.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Come on!
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Yo! Come on.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Phil's lived and worked on Gower for the last 16 years.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50It's a lot different to my colleagues in town.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53You're a lot closer to the community, particularly
0:05:53 > 0:05:55if you happen to live in the community, as well.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Things you deal with will be a lot different,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00and when things tend to go wrong,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04you're aware of it far earlier, because it's day to day life.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08First call of the day is to farmer Denver Austin,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10who has reported a hit and run.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Just as well, cos there was no way I was going to catch him.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- What time yesterday roughly? - In the afternoon sometime.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Sheep has been killed? - I had to put it down, yeah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25No idea of any car or anything?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27There was a number of cars there, I understand,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29but nobody could tell him who hit it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Some years you can go with nothing, you're lucky,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- but I've had two now in a month. - Yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It's not always a question of speed.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37The chap who knocked down the last lamb,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39he reckoned he was only going at 30mph,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42but it's for people to be aware that when there's stock there,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44they can at any moment just cross the road.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I think it's important that these accidents are reported because...
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Absolutely, yeah.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51I mean, at the end of the day, it's your stock, isn't it?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54People don't know how big the problem is unless we say it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Absolutely, yeah.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I'll catch up with you soon. - Thank you.- See you.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Dealing with livestock is a regular part of Phil's job,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08as cattle and horses have the right to graze freely on the common.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11A lot of people will say, "Well, why don't they fence the commons?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14"Why don't they enclose the animals on the commons?"
0:07:14 > 0:07:16They're not allowed to do that by law.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Recently, road collisions have increased, so Phil is hoping
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Peter Lanfear from the Gower Commoners Association can help him.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27It's quite convenient, actually.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Just been down to speak to Denver. - Oh, right.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31He's had some sheep knocked over down in...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Yesterday, I think we had one fall knock-down,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38we had a sheep with Denver, last week, we had a cow.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41You know, if you sort of had these type of accidents with
0:07:41 > 0:07:43someone on a push-bike...
0:07:43 > 0:07:46suddenly it becomes high policing.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49If you get hold of a hand-held camera, and we can deploy it.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Once our presence is there, it's like the van -
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- other road users are warned, they will slow down.- Yeah.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Just bring people's awareness to, it is 40mph,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- so, please, slow down a bit.- Yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Guys, there's been a burglary in West Cross area.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17A number of items stolen, all antique furniture.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Back in Swansea, the Priority Policing Team
0:08:19 > 0:08:21has been tasked with their next case.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26PC Rob Hill is leading the team on today's antiques hunt.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Enquiries have been made on Gumtree.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33The items appear to be for sale from a male person in the Swansea area.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Subscriber checks have come back to an address
0:08:36 > 0:08:39in Skewen, so we've got a search warrant under the Theft Act.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41OK, no problem.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46One in 10 crimes committed in Wales are burglaries,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50and stolen antiques can be traded online at a fast pace.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Even though the burglaries happened a few months ago, the information
0:08:53 > 0:08:57we've received is quite recent, and we've got to act on that
0:08:57 > 0:08:59as quick as we can.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03We're hoping that we find the furniture that's been stolen.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- That's the back, isn't it? - I think this should be it.- Yeah.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07This right here.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Hello there. I'll just explain why we're here first, mate.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17We've got a warrant to search your premises under the Theft Act, OK.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Go sit in by here.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Right, the allegation is, there's been a burglary, OK?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25A load of antique furniture has been stolen.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Are you selling anything on any internet websites?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Gumtree.- Gumtree, is it?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33There we are, so you've got items for sale
0:09:33 > 0:09:34on Gumtree at the minute, yeah?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Two little tables. There's two little tables on it.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39We'll have a quick cursory search.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Cheers, pal.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46The team are looking for distinctive pieces of stolen furniture.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49We're in possession of photographs of the stolen property.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52We've executed the warrant, as soon as we've come upstairs,
0:09:52 > 0:09:53we seen the chaise longue there.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Obviously matches the description, bang on, of the property
0:09:57 > 0:09:58that has been stolen during the break.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00We've taken photographs of it in situ,
0:10:00 > 0:10:03and it's going to be seized now as part of the enquiry.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07You're going to be arrested now, OK, on suspicion of burglary.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
0:10:10 > 0:10:11if you do not mention when questioned
0:10:11 > 0:10:13something which you later rely on in court.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I ain't done nothing.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I didn't pinch anything, like.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23The gentleman who's just been arrested
0:10:23 > 0:10:26states there's a couple of lock-ups he uses to store
0:10:26 > 0:10:29property in, so he's going to take us there now to have a look around.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31So that's our next stop.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Swansea City Centre is a mecca for retail outlets.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49But not all customers are willing to part with their cash.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Lifters who don't want to pay for their shopping
0:10:52 > 0:10:56are a daily problem for neighbourhood PC Ruth Davies.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59We've got a male adult shoplifter detained.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03He is compliant at present in the 99p Store.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06So he's saved himself a lot of money by going there.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I think they think because this stuff is so cheap,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11they won't bother reporting it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14I did have someone who stole pasties and concealed them
0:11:14 > 0:11:18in their armpits, which was nice.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20And they weren't packaged, either.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22They were loose pasties in the armpit.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27So I'm hoping he wasn't going to give them away after that.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29That's pretty grim.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Where is he?- He's in the office. - Fab.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- You all right to show me?- Need me to show you?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Cos I haven't had one in here before.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41It turns out that the suspected shoplifter
0:11:41 > 0:11:43and PC Davies have met before.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- You all right? - Yeah, fine, thank you.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- What have you been doing, then? - He's admitting to the theft.- Right.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51But he won't admit to everything else
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- that we found in his possession. - Right, I'm going to caution you.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence
0:11:57 > 0:11:59if you do not mention when questioned something
0:11:59 > 0:12:00which you later rely on in court.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Anything you do say may be given in evidence. All right?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05So, you're saying you've only had the fish today?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I'm saying I've had the fish today.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Am I all right to see the CCTV? - Yeah.
0:12:13 > 0:12:19The footage shows Danny stealing the tins of fish, but nothing else.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22What can you confirm that you sell in your store?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- We sell the Fox's biscuits, and we sell the fish.- OK.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Let me tell you now, you don't sell Fray Bentos pies any more.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29You stopped selling them.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Hang on a minute now. We're having a discussion.- I know, but I...
0:12:32 > 0:12:35You will get your opportunity on interview to say what's happened.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Listen to me now, you're under arrest for shoplifting.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you don't mention when questioned
0:12:41 > 0:12:43something which you later rely on in court.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you want to make a reply?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50I'm happy to turn on and say that the fish is from the store.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51And nothing else.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56It's only shoplifting fish, like.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Not exactly the crime of the century, is it?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Are you all right to grab the doors for me?- Yeah.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Danny is taken into police custody, and Ruth now has to investigate.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07He's got tons of stuff on him.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10So, that'll be the fun bit now,
0:13:10 > 0:13:14trying to sort where the rest of it's come from.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Ruth has 24 hours to prove Danny lifted the other goods,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20as well as the fish he's admitted to stealing.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22The custody clock is ticking.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35The Swansea Priority Policing Team have arrested a male suspect
0:13:35 > 0:13:38on suspicion of theft of antique furniture.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45The team are about to search his lock-up for further stolen items.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54CLATTERING
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- It's not here, is it?- They'd be indoors, as well, wouldn't they?
0:14:00 > 0:14:05- Right, where would that table be if it's in here?- There somewhere.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07This one by here, is it?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- It looks tiny there. - It looks small, doesn't it?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Mike, try that.- That's more like it.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19This is what we're looking for.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25The suspect will now be taken into police custody to answer
0:14:25 > 0:14:29questions about the stolen furniture found in his possession.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34Burglary occurred in the West Cross area in February.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Antique furniture was stolen.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40The victims of the burglary are Ishi Church and his family.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- So do you mind coming down? - Yeah, sure.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Ishi's here to identify the furniture
0:14:45 > 0:14:47that the team have retrieved.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49At least you got one of the good ones.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Is that the one of them?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Yeah, both ours, definitely. - OK.- Definitely, yeah.
0:14:54 > 0:15:00I've been checking eBay and Gumtree like Sherlock Holmes at home
0:15:00 > 0:15:03on the computer all the time every week.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05He hasn't looked after them. No.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Definitely have to repaint them now.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14The suspect was charged with handling stolen goods.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17When he appeared before the courts, he pleaded guilty,
0:15:17 > 0:15:22and was sentenced to a year-long community and rehabilitation order.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24He also had to pay a £250 fine.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Neighbourhood officer Ruth Davies is also on a hunt
0:15:31 > 0:15:34to reunite some items with the rightful owner.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Shoplifter Danny is in custody,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41having admitted to stealing 13 cans of fish,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44but not the other items found with him.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Ruth has to find the evidence of the purchase.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Right, we've got NutriGrains, batteries...
0:15:55 > 0:15:57..pork pies.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Yeah, this is what I joined for(!)
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Serious crime.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08But finding which shop the goods have come from is no easy task.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Right, we'll try the other pound shop.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Is there any way of checking your tills
0:16:18 > 0:16:21to see if these items have gone through today?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Meanwhile, in custody,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27fish thief Danny is taking advantage of room service.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29He's on to his seventh lasagne.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Lovely. Thank you. Ta-ra.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Erm... All theirs,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40every single thing, so they've now got to check the CCTV
0:16:40 > 0:16:43and check the till receipts to see if they match up.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48But Danny wasn't caught stealing on camera this time.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52And there's no proof to say the other items were stolen.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54It's the end of the line for Ruth.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56It's really time-consuming.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00I mean, there is a lot of paperwork that will go in to just this one...
0:17:00 > 0:17:01£13 theft.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05That's me gone for a whole day.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09When there's loads of other stuff that I could be doing,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12making a bigger impact somewhere else within the community.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Danny is free to leave custody,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19and is happy with the treatment he's received.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I just popped in. I had seven microwave meals.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Charged with shoplifting 14...
0:17:25 > 0:17:28No, 13 tins of fish.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31And I've got to catch my own, they said.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36The courts didn't let fish thief Danny Davies of the hook.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40He pleaded guilty, and was fined £330.
0:17:40 > 0:17:4313 tins was pushing my luck.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46The best way to do something is pick two up and put one back.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Don't be greedy.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57If you make your way to the green for the fancy dress...
0:17:57 > 0:17:59They're not throwing sponges of water, are they?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Cos I'm going to be a prime candidate if they are.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06On Gower, and neighbourhood PC Phil Davies is on duty
0:18:06 > 0:18:07at the Llanrhidian village fair.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Hiya, all right? Gareth, all right? How are you doing?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15You've got to stand back a bit, haven't you?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18You're hitting it from point-blank range, man!
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Charlie wants to be a policeman when he's older.- Do you?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25To me, this is what policing is all about.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29It's about getting to know a community and trying to...
0:18:29 > 0:18:32help a community, and have the time to do it.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Hi, all right? How are you doing?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Yeah, well, if you can get to speak to people,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39you can understand what their problems are,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42and then hopefully keep the area crime-free.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44See you. Ta-ra!
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Knowing his people and his patch is vital for Phil to do his job
0:18:52 > 0:18:56over the 70 square miles of countryside he has to patrol.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02This is a gentleman who is reporting the third theft
0:19:02 > 0:19:07of central heating fuel from his tank in the garden.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10He's an elderly gentleman, and quite clearly something like this
0:19:10 > 0:19:15will cause him and his wife quite a lot of concern.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Hello.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19After two previous visits,
0:19:19 > 0:19:24PC Davies is now familiar with Mark Keegan's disappearing oil.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Let's have a look at the tank.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29That looks as if there's oil there.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32There is over the time, I think.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34But that may have been leaking for a good while.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Just very slightly.- Right, OK.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37The problem is...
0:19:37 > 0:19:40the camera isn't pointing quite correctly on this.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- I'll show you the film in a minute. - Right, OK.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- I haven't got it quite on the tank. - So where?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- The tank is over here, is it? - Just here, yes.- Right.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54The camera itself is a motion sensor, so if there is any movement,
0:19:54 > 0:19:55it will record events.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57The cow has set that off!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Although there is nothing wrong with what it's recording,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03if we could get it on the tank rather than the side,
0:20:03 > 0:20:05that may be advantageous.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I couldn't move it around, actually.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Right.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10You're a big bloke. You can help there.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15So we want to move it across a bit, don't we?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17It's very, very stiff, and I'm reluctant to...
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- RECORDING OF DOG BARKING - ..to force it,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22because I could damage it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Try a little bit harder.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Oh, wait there. Now it's moved.
0:20:26 > 0:20:27Oh, well done.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Right, I take it you've got the sound of the dog
0:20:31 > 0:20:33attached the camera, have you?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Doesn't do any bloody good though. It didn't wake me up.- Oh!
0:20:39 > 0:20:41When I joined the police, this is what I wanted to do.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I wouldn't necessarily say I wanted to be a Gower policeman,
0:20:44 > 0:20:49but you're certainly part of the community and try to do your bit
0:20:49 > 0:20:51to make sure that if they are the victims of crime,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53that you do your best for them.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02At night, Swansea gets swamped with party people.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06He's not going to lock you up tonight!
0:21:06 > 0:21:08LAUGHTER
0:21:08 > 0:21:10My next-door neighbour.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Deal with the headaches in the morning and give them a knock.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17The infamous Wind Street is a 300-metre strip
0:21:17 > 0:21:20that is home to most of the city's bars, pubs and clubs.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26And when the revellers get seriously intoxicated
0:21:26 > 0:21:28and need medical attention,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31there is a safe haven close by.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32I'm the nurse, OK?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I fell on the dance floor...
0:21:34 > 0:21:36On the dance floor, OK.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41This mobile first aid unit was installed to help police
0:21:41 > 0:21:43deal with injured and drunk people.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Where are you stopping, byt?
0:21:46 > 0:21:47It's funded by the South Wales
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Police and Crime Commissioner, Alun Michael,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52and tonight,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55he's meeting with the student police volunteers who work here.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57There are about 1,000 people who have been helped
0:21:57 > 0:22:00since the help point came into being last September.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04And the statistic I find useful is the fact that on the first night,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07there were 18 ambulance journeys that weren't needed,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11and on 18 occasions, of course, that means police officers
0:22:11 > 0:22:14were back on the streets helping to keep people safe.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18He's drunk a bit too much.
0:22:18 > 0:22:19He can't stand on his own two feet.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22We're bringing him down here now, get him some water,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24sober him up and get a taxi home for him then.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26All right, Mike?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Bring him over here.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Have a little sip of water by here now.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31There's no need to get out of the chair.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Have a drop of that.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I'm OK. I'm OK.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Take a pew, will you?- Mike!
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Well, we'll get you sobered up now, right?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43I'm going to get you some water.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46The St John Ambulance medics are concerned, as their patient, Mike,
0:22:46 > 0:22:50seems to have mixed alcohol with his prescribed medication.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I've just looked up some of the treatment that this gentleman is on,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56and it says that using it with alcohol could cause
0:22:56 > 0:22:59some unpredictable emotional symptoms.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02So maybe that's why Mike feels as he does.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04HE SOBS
0:23:04 > 0:23:07It was a one time only thing, wasn't it?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Come on, you're all right. - I know that!
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Mike has a visitor.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13It's his girlfriend, Lauren.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14HE CRIES
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Come on, now.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I don't want her to be pissed off at me.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Mike, sit up!
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Mike!
0:23:30 > 0:23:31It's all right.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36His blood pressure dropped a little bit and then he had his...
0:23:36 > 0:23:38A bit of an episode out there.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43The team decide to take action, and put Mike on an intravenous drip
0:23:43 > 0:23:45to get fluids into him fast,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47as he is severely dehydrated.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53It is, the impact of excess of alcohol is pretty frightening.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57I think what's terrific is the resilience with which the students
0:23:57 > 0:24:00are coping with the sorts of things that they are seeing.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03They are providing a really important public service.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Come on, then.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Taxi's waiting outside.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Eventually, the fluids do their trick,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14and Mike is back on his feet and ready to go home.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I've got to be honest, I'm glad they found me
0:24:17 > 0:24:19and I'm glad they helped me, so...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Right, see you again, Mike.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25All the best, pants and vest.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35It's the morning after the night before,
0:24:35 > 0:24:39and PC Ruth Davies is on duty to mop up the after-effects.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42We are going to Wind Street.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45We are going to empty some of our drug safes.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Each premises, as part of their licensing agreement,
0:24:48 > 0:24:50has got to have a drug safe.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53The door staff then, as a condition of entry,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56they can search their patrons to see if they've got anything on them.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00No-one is prosecuted, so it's more of an amnesty bin than anything,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03to sort of stamp out drug use on Wind Street.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Hiya! You OK?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- How are you doing?- Ruth.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Hi, I'm Phil. - Phil, nice to meet you.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Any drugs that are seized are posted into this safe,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14which only the police have the key to.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17This is quite a lot for a few months.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23On this occasion, looks like we've got some ecstasy tablets.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24That's a bit old school.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Bit of coke in this one.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Just seems to be the go-to thing now, doesn't it?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34They'll go out and do a bit of coke.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37They go out this is more grainy, so that's going to be meow.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It's got a slight yellow tinge to it as well.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42And it absolutely stinks.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44We do get bad batches going around.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46People overdosing and stuff,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48so it's good for us to know what's out there.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50We bag them up then as a job lot,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53and then when we get back to Swansea Central, book them in.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55Make sure none falls out.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Thank you very much. - No problem, that's fine.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02And I'll speak to you soon. Cheers. Ta-ra now.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Being part of the neighbourhood team
0:26:07 > 0:26:11in the city centre is rewarding work for Officer Davies.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14You see a problem through from beginning to end -
0:26:14 > 0:26:15you're a single point of contact.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18You do actually feel like you make a difference.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22As opposed to just being a faceless police officer.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29And being visible when policing in his community
0:26:29 > 0:26:32is at the heart of Gower cop PC Davies' workload, too.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I've had a call from a lady who lives out in Kittle,
0:26:37 > 0:26:41a small community a couple of miles away from here.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46She's found what she describes as a nine-inch dagger
0:26:46 > 0:26:47on the cliffs.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51The weapon in question was discovered
0:26:51 > 0:26:54by retired couple Mr and Mrs Chambers,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57when they were out taking in the views of Three Cliffs Bay.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00It's a little bit more lethal than ceremonial.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02So where did you find that?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05There is a little seat where we always end up sitting
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- after our walk.- Yes?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09And it was under the seat sort of lying in the grass.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I only found it because my hat blew off my head.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16I thought it was just a funny thing to find on the Gower.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18If you were walking about the street with that,
0:27:18 > 0:27:19you would be breaking the law,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22because of the length of the blade and the article that it is.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24You'd be breaking the law.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28I used to work for the police as well. In London.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- But I said, nobody can walk around with that.- No, that's right.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34It's ridiculous.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38There's really no excuse for carrying that around, is there?
0:27:38 > 0:27:42If anything turns up, I'll let you know. OK?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- There we are. Good to see you. - Thanks a lot.- See you.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51The knife may be a sign of changing times on Gower,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54but after 16 years of policing the patch,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57PC Davies is still captivated by its beauty.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00There's very few offices around
0:28:00 > 0:28:02that would offer you a view like that.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06One of the best views going. Can't fault that, can you?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Next time on Police 24/7...
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Whisky-Lima-five-five.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17..officers respond to a distressed man's call for help.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19I've dealt with people like Peter Sutcliffe.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22You name them, I've dealt with them, in Brixton Prison.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24But I can't cope with this.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27The detectives are out looking for clues.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I mean, there is an old glove on the floor here, but it's soaking wet.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33I don't know if we'll get anything, but it's worth keeping.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35And a suspected burglar isn't happy
0:28:35 > 0:28:38about spending the night in a custody cell.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- Wait till I see the boy. Wait till I see- BLEEP.
0:28:40 > 0:28:41- I'm going to- BLEEP- stab him.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I love you, Dad, right. Ta-ra.
