0:00:03 > 0:00:05This time on Police 24/7...
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Whiskey Lima 5-5.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Officers respond to a distressed man's call for help.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12I've dealt with people like Peter Sutcliffe.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15You name them, I dealt with them in Brixton Prison.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17I can't cope with this.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20The detectives are out looking for clues.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22There is an old glove on the floor here.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Soaking wet, don't know if we'll get anything, but it's worth keeping.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28And a suspected burglar isn't happy about spending
0:00:34 > 0:00:36I love you, Dad. Right, ta-ra.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42This is a week in the life of the largest police force in Wales.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Seven days of action with the cops on the street
0:00:47 > 0:00:50and the criminals that they try to beat.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55This is Police 24/7.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05South Wales Police protect over one million people
0:01:05 > 0:01:08with nearly 3,000 serving officers.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14We're to execute a warrant at an address in Alltwen...
0:01:14 > 0:01:17In Neath, neighbourhood officer Jules Simpson is
0:01:17 > 0:01:20briefing his team on their latest warrant.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Basically, we've got intelligence to state that the weapon is
0:01:24 > 0:01:32a discharging Taser, very similar to the ones that the police use.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37and then conduct a search for the items.
0:01:37 > 0:01:45Intelligence suggests that the suspect
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Every call that we go to, you never know -
0:01:49 > 0:01:53there's always the potential for somebody to become aggressive.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56It's just... That's the nature of our job.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Hello, police with a warrant.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09The reason why we're here is that we believe that
0:02:09 > 0:02:17OK, I'll get it for you.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20It's upstairs, boys. Just upstairs, next to my bed.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26All right, just let them clear the room first. Yeah.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30confesses to possession of a Taser, but this firearm is unconventional.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34A torch. Is that a torch?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Or not? Eh... No?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39It's next to my bed. It's a torch, it is, boys.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41It's a torch.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47A torch. Yeah. Is it a touch Taser?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Yeah, just torch and touch. It doesn't fire barbs?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53No, no, no, no.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Touch Taser, mate.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57CRACKLING
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Having identified the torch as the firearm,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Officer Martyn Langan takes a closer look.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Yeah, it's going to cause a burn and quite a nasty shock.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10More to prod against the skin
0:03:10 > 0:03:13rather than as the police use, with the barbs.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17There's no legitimate reason for anybody to have possession of this.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Under the Firearms Act,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20the only authorised persons being the police,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23there's no reason he should have this whatsoever.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Am I going in?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30At the moment, if we confirm that this is a firearm,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32you will be coming with us into custody.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34You've got no choice about that. Right.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37We're going to have a quick search of the property first
0:03:37 > 0:03:41and then take it from there.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Kendrick is already on a suspended sentence for a motoring offence.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Now that the firearm has been found, things aren't looking good for him.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55It's not a nice job, looking through somebody else's property,
0:03:55 > 0:04:00but we want to be absolutely certain that we're not going to leave here
0:04:00 > 0:04:04leaving something in here that could be dangerous.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07The only reason why we cuffed you was for our safety
0:04:07 > 0:04:09while we done the search. Oh, right.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10If you've got a Taser,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14the last thing that I want is for you to hit me with a Taser.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16All empty?
0:04:16 > 0:04:17With the Taser seized,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Kendrick is taken into police custody for further questioning.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26A successful warrant for the Neath neighbourhood team.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36When people call for help from the police,
0:04:36 > 0:04:40it's normally the response officers who are sent to investigate.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I had a lovely day yesterday.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Really enjoyed it.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48What did you do yesterday?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50It was Eid, innit? End of Ramadan.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Oh, right, yeah. So it was basically almost like...
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Almost like Christmas Day for the Muslim... Oh, yeah?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57With all your family?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Yeah, all the family there.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04PCs Jamal Ali and Jo Williams have been working together for two years.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09The first call of the day was to a burglary victim
0:05:09 > 0:05:11in the Morriston area of Swansea.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14DOG BARKS
0:05:14 > 0:05:15All right?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Hello!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Cute little dog, isn't he?
0:05:18 > 0:05:23I normally check the house every night. Yeah.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Make sure the windows are locked.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29I'll make sure the doors are locked, because I'm very conscious of it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Alison noticed her laptop was missing when she woke this morning.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39What's the value of this computer? I paid 420 for it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Where did you buy it from?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43A catalogue.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46So 9:30, you went to bed. Which window...?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48When you say the window was open...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Both of them? Both of those. As it is?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Mm-hm. As it is now.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53CID team along tonight, they're going to come
0:05:53 > 0:05:55and speak to you in a few hours.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I'm sorry about what's happened, all right?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I'll keep you updated and I'll give you a ring tomorrow, OK?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I don't have a lot of stuff.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06I don't have anything of any value other than my laptop.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09That's what they've walked away with. Extremely angry.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I really would like to see them brought to justice.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16One way or another.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17That's how angry I am.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Burglaries account for around one in ten crimes in Wales,
0:06:23 > 0:06:27and the success rate of finding stolen items is low.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29She said she's lived at the address for ten years
0:06:29 > 0:06:32and that's the first time that his has happened,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35which is quite sad, really.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40That's one of the things I hate, burglaries,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43especially when she's seen this happen overnight.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50At Swansea Central police station,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Nathan Kendrick is about to be booked into police custody.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56I won't be in here long, guys, do you reckon?
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Well, we'll try to get you in as quick as we can, but we can't...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Neighbourhood officers Jules Simpson and Martyn Langan
0:07:02 > 0:07:07earlier arrested him for possession of an illegal firearm.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11That's the genuine South West Police one.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15The Taser, which resembles a police torch, has been seized
0:07:15 > 0:07:19after a successful warrant at Kendrick's house in Neath.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Offence? Possession of a Section Five firearm.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26What firearm did he have possession of?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28A Taser.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Do you understand why you've been arrested? Huh?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Do you understand why you've been arrested? Yeah.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Right, mate, do you have any illness or injury?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38No. Do you have any dietary needs? Are you allergic to any food
0:07:38 > 0:07:40or can't eat any food for religious reasons?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I don't like curry, mate. I don't like curry.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45You don't like curry.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Do you have any drug or alcohol dependencies?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Honestly, I do a bit of coke now and again is all.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Do you need help with reading and writing?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57No, I'm all right. I just don't understand big words is all.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04It's going to stun you and it's going to cause you a lot of pain.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07You could torture somebody with it if you were just continuously
0:08:07 > 0:08:11pressing it down on somebody's arm, leg or face.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12It's going to seriously hurt.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I'm just googling buying these things.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20You can buy it on the American eBay site for $11.99.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24According to the description here,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26it makes a great gift for a loved one.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29HE CHUCKLES
0:08:29 > 0:08:32It's not something I considered on my Christmas list,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34but each to their own.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Kendrick, who was already on a suspended sentence,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41appeared before the Crown Court
0:08:41 > 0:08:44where he pleaded guilty to possession of an offensive weapon.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48He was sentenced to two years and four months in prison.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54South Wales Police have nearly 700 detectives
0:08:54 > 0:08:59working to solve crime 24/7.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01The guy's entered, taken a hold of his walking stick
0:09:01 > 0:09:04and pinned him down with it, prodded him a couple of times,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07demanding to know where his money is.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Leading this specialist burglary CID team
0:09:10 > 0:09:12is Detective Sergeant Simon Thomas.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16So he's gone in there, then taken the tin, which contained ?3,000,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18his car key and his house key.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22The team are just starting on a new case.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Yeah. He's threatened a neighbour before jumping in the car
0:09:26 > 0:09:27and driving off.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31The cause of their investigation is the aggravated burglary
0:09:31 > 0:09:34against 75-year-old Gwynne Williams.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36How are you feeling? OK, good.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Has anything like this ever happened to you before? No, no.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41No. No. Bit of a shock, isn't it?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Yeah, yeah.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47He's got you down on to the floor, has he? Yeah, yeah.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Prodding me. OK.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51How was he doing that?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Huh? LOUDER: How was he doing that?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56With the stick. Right.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Were you injured at all?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59No. No? No.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Mr Williams' stolen car has been found,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06and Detective Sergeant Thomas
0:10:06 > 0:10:08is hoping to gather some forensic clues from it,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10as the team want to find the perpetrator
0:10:10 > 0:10:12of this horrible crime.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14How much worse could it get?
0:10:14 > 0:10:19An elderly gentlemen living on his own in sheltered accommodation.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23He's been disturbed at 4:50 in the morning,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26he's answered the door to a stranger and, in doing so, has been pushed
0:10:26 > 0:10:31to the floor and has been pinned down whilst he's lying on his back.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35He suffered a stroke 25 years ago and his speech is impaired,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38his mobility is restricted, and he's then threatened violence
0:10:38 > 0:10:41unless he discloses where his money is kept.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47You know, to target an elderly person in the first place
0:10:47 > 0:10:51is despicable, then subject him to so much violence...
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I just hope we find the culprit.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55There's a message I need you to read.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Basically, you're going to be looking at 12 photographs.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Nope. No.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05No.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Definitely not. Definitely not one of them. No. OK.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Youngster. Right. So younger than the guys here, was he?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Yeah. OK.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17So that's all recorded, then,
0:11:17 > 0:11:21the fact that you've said it was none of them, it was a youngster.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Well, we're done.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23OK? Thank you for coming down.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28I'll speak to my colleagues now, and we'll give you a lift back up. OK.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31The main thing for us now is to see who can be linked to the car
0:11:31 > 0:11:34from the finger printing and the swabbing for DNA.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Possibly the rear-view mirror, actually.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40That looks quite new as well.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45These fingerprints will be sent off to the lab.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47The detectives will have to wait
0:11:47 > 0:11:50to see if there's a match on the criminal database.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03In Morriston, officers Jamal Ali
0:12:03 > 0:12:06and Jo Williams are responding to another call.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11We've had a report of a shoplifter,
0:12:11 > 0:12:16who was being compliant, but then it sort of escalated.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21The suspected shoplifter has been detained
0:12:21 > 0:12:24by supermarket security staff.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28It turns out he's a familiar face to the police officers.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34You all right, Greg? You all right, pal?
0:12:34 > 0:12:35You've selected a load of toothbrushes
0:12:35 > 0:12:38and electrical goods, razors, concealed them.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Yeah. Yeah, do you want to make any reply to that? No.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42You're under arrest on suspicion of shoplifting. Yeah.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defence... Yeah, yeah. All right.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49BLEEP come on, then. Have you got anything on you
0:12:49 > 0:12:51that's going to harm me or my colleague?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Any needles? Any needles? No, I don't pin up.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I'm not a smackhead, am I? All right.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Van, is it? Come on, then.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Right, we're going to walk out now.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03THUMPING Oi! Chill out.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Calm down, now.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07BLEEP!
0:13:07 > 0:13:08You're going out, calm down.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Calm down. Oi, there's children out here, there's children.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17I don't give a... Oi. Oi.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20As the suspect has become aggressive,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23the officers are keen to escort him to their van
0:13:23 > 0:13:24as quickly as possible.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Watch your head, yeah?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Take a seat, Greg, or you're going to fall over.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44He is known to us. He is a face I recognise from our wanted board.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47He's been in the area all his life, I believe,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49and most of that he's been in trouble for.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51BLEEP, OK?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Obviously he's under arrest on suspicion of shoplifting.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56We'll take him down to Swansea Central where he'll be booked in.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01BLEEP... You lot like blocking out people on camera, do you?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Gregory Jones was later charged with the shoplifting offences
0:14:11 > 0:14:14and received an eight-week prison sentence,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16suspended for 12 months.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28The CID burglary team are investigating their latest case.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Gwynne Williams had his car stolen along with a cashbox
0:14:33 > 0:14:36containing thousands of pounds.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Detectives Lewis and Thomas are retracing the burglar's route
0:14:44 > 0:14:46in the hope of finding new evidence
0:14:46 > 0:14:49as well as conducting house-to-house enquiries.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51The kids there, they're always out playing.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55So this house that backs on here?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57They're always out playing, all the kids.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02They might have mentioned something. She normally sits by the gate.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06My daughter comes through here every day.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10She'd notice a brand-new car, because she likes cars.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I don't understand cars, I don't, so... Yeah.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19I mean, there's an old glove on the floor here, but...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Soaking wet, I don't know if we'll get anything,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23but it's worth keeping.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Detective Sam Lewis continues to search the area thoroughly.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31There's some money taken from the gentleman's house
0:15:31 > 0:15:34that he described as being in a blue tin.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36There is a blue money tin here.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I'll give him a ring back.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42and it might be something to do with this, it might not.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I'll ring you back.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47That's an elderly person's writing.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49We've got to be realistic.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51It's been out...
0:15:51 > 0:15:53It's been out in the rain. ..in the elements.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56It's a line of inquiry we didn't have half an hour ago.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01DS Thomas visits the victim to update him.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Does that look like yours? Yeah, yeah. That's it, is it?
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Yeah, yeah. Oh, excellent.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Hopefully we'll get something off this one now.
0:16:13 > 0:16:21It's just been out in the rain, that's the problem. Yeah.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25It's a frustrating time for DS Thomas and the team.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27We don't have a suspect at this stage.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29You know, we've got to try and do everything that we can
0:16:29 > 0:16:33to help him, because what happened to him was horrific.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36It's those type of offences you tend to go the extra mile for.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42The detectives are continuing to hunt down the suspect
0:16:42 > 0:16:44who committed the crime.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50However, they have been able to return the stolen car
0:17:05 > 0:17:07INDISTINCT SHOUTING
0:17:07 > 0:17:12Many of them will end up here, in Swansea's custody suite,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15under the watchful eye of Sergeant John Richards.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22He just wants to get it done.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24But the officers are carrying out their inquiries.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Lots of forensic runs to be made.
0:17:28 > 0:17:3219-year-old Corey Rhys has been detained
0:17:33 > 0:17:37What time do you reckon they'll be done with me? Say, 12:30?
0:17:37 > 0:17:44We've got to find out when you're being interviewed.
0:17:44 > 0:17:51but they're looking at a few burglaries.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53cos I think the burglary squad are on top of it
0:17:53 > 0:17:58and are doing what they need to do to get through the investigation.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00But it's never going to be quick enough for him.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Corey can only be kept in custody for 24 hours
0:18:11 > 0:18:16The detectives in the CID team
0:18:16 > 0:18:19It's quite a unique footwear print that's been recovered that
0:18:19 > 0:18:21they've described as small squares.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Oh, yeah...
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Heading to the scene of the break-in that Corey has been linked to
0:18:27 > 0:18:29is Detective Matthew Thomas.
0:18:33 > 0:18:39where an elderly female's house has been broken into
0:18:39 > 0:18:57It was crashed, then. We believe Rhys is responsible.
0:18:59 > 0:19:06We've identified a potential point of entry being the bedroom.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09We'll see in the passageway, we've got some shiny tiles
0:19:09 > 0:19:12and a number of lifts that we're going to take off there.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Hopefully identify the perpetrator's footwear from those.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19The team have also uncovered another key piece of evidence that
0:19:19 > 0:19:25links the suspect to the crime.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28McDonald's for food, then he was captured on the CCTV.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41while the team prepare the evidence for his interview.
0:19:41 > 0:19:53Yeah, but I won't be out tonight anyway, Dad, right?
0:19:58 > 0:19:59BANGING
0:19:59 > 0:20:02SHOUTING
0:20:02 > 0:20:05He's quite irate, because he thought he was here for two burglaries,
0:20:05 > 0:20:10and now it turns out he's being investigated for six or seven.
0:20:10 > 0:20:16Detectives Jones and O'Donovan have the task of interviewing
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I know the charges are bad, but they ain't from me, boys.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I ain't done it, boys.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Listen, let me just get my point across.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I did not do the BLEEP burglary, mate, at all.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26I did not do it, mate.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I got a bit of a clue, I'm not giving names,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31but I've got a clue who done it.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35SCREAMING IN DISTANCE Is that him?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Yes. He told us he's going to tell us everything about the burglaries,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40but then when we showed him the picture,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42he said he wasn't a grass.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Oh, he's a man on a mission.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45HE SCREAMS
0:20:45 > 0:20:49He's given an account and he's denied being at both scenes.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50We put four other breaks to him in the area,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53and he's denied any involvement in them.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56We've got a couple of forensic inquiries, alibi inquiries,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58and then we'll be going to CPS,
0:20:58 > 0:21:03but I think we've got enough on the two.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Corey will soon either be charged or released,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10depending on the Crown Prosecution Service advice.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Not a happy camper.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Response officer Jamal Ali and Jo Williams are on duty.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24He doesn't drive when I'm with him.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26I only let you drive cos it's easy.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I can just sit here and chill, you know, relax.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31They're patrolling the Llansamlet area of Swansea
0:21:31 > 0:21:34when they get an emergency call.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I've had trouble with youths, a gang of them.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41They turned up again this evening and they're now throwing missiles.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44It's affecting my health. I've had enough.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47If you drop me off, I'll jump out.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49There's a better chance of grabbing them.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Jamal sets off on foot, searching the lane next to the victim's house.
0:21:58 > 0:22:04No, there's nothing... They might have gone by now.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Ah...
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I don't see anybody here.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13The call for police assistance was made by 70-year-old Ronald Kent.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19I've had this ongoing for 6 or 12 months. It's terrible.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22What can I do? I'm an ex-prison officer.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24I've dealt with people like Peter Sutcliffe.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27You name them, I've dealt with them in Brixton prison.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31I can't cope with this. I put this up to stop them climbing.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33They've tried to rip it off.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35They've thrown stones at the window today.
0:22:35 > 0:22:41I've got at ?15,000 vehicle there. I've got eight grandchildren.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43VOICE BREAKING: What can I do?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Jamal and Jo speak to two teenage girls who've been
0:22:46 > 0:22:48seen near the resident's house.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51He wants a peaceful life, that's all he's asking for.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52That's not a lot, is it?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54If he was a family member of yours,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57you wouldn't like somebody to be treated like that, would you?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Be constantly harassed by these kids.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02It's not funny then, is it?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I don't know, we're not even doing nothing,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08and he started throwing bottles of water at us and everything.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12The other policeman has told me I'm entitled to protect myself,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I'll be protecting myself.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Just walk back while I'm here.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19You're looking quite upset at the moment.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Try and talk some sense into the boy -
0:23:23 > 0:23:25it's not a game, this is somebody's life.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27It's going to make him ill.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29It needs to stop. It's stressing him out, isn't it?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Yeah? All right.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Last night was a similar incident, so obviously it is escalating
0:23:35 > 0:23:38and it is quite concerning for us, so I will flag it up
0:23:38 > 0:23:42for the inspector as well and try to see if we can push things forward.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Better to hang about here for 15 minutes.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46Yeah, we'll have a drive round.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52I am a bit worried, though, cos obviously his breathing...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55It's clearly stressing him out. He was really upset.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57I'm not sure if it's the girls that are causing the problems,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59but the girls are coming to meet them.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01They think it's a bit of a game, don't they?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04But unfortunately, it's not to the gent living there. No.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Sometimes it's best to ring us and let us try and deal with it.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Mr Kent was referred to the community safety department,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17and warning notices were issued to all involved.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21No further problems have been reported.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Midnight at Swansea's custody suite.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Corey, come stand up here.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Suspected burglar Corey Rhys is about to be charged.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Corey, you don't have to say anything.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39But it may harm your defence if you do not mention now
0:24:39 > 0:24:41something which you later rely on in court.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Anything you do say may be given in evidence. OK?
0:24:43 > 0:24:4621st July, having entered as a trespasser, a dwelling,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48stole there a 40-inch television and a Ford C-Max motor vehicle.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Any reply to that one? Nothing to do with me.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54That night, boys, that night, yeah, I've been with my missus.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Since I got out the jail...
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Since the day I got out the jail,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I spent every single day with my missus.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I ain't got time to be going out pinching cars, boys,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I'm getting my provisional.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09I'm doing it the proper way, I'm not BLEEP cars.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Corey, on 27th July, additional aggravated factors
0:25:12 > 0:25:15where the driver exceeded speed limit and crashed the vehicle,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17causing damage to it.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Boys, pinching cars and that was back when I was a little kid,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21when I was 16.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23BLEEP 19 now, know what I mean?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26On 22nd July, you used a motor vehicle,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28namely a Ford C-Max motor vehicle,
0:25:28 > 0:25:30there was not in force, in relation to that use,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33such a policy of insurance as complied with requirements
0:25:33 > 0:25:37part 5 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. Any reply to that one?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39No reply at all.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42It weren't me, boys. I've sorted my life out, boys.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Mate, you seen me come out before I went to jail.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47I was a little skinny little rat, weren't I?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I come out, I sorted my head out, boys,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I don't even take Valiums no more. I don't do nothing, boys.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56All I do is go out with my missus and spend time with my missus.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00It does my head in. Just cos I had a bad past, boys, right?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03That's what it is. People are judging me for my past.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04That's what it is.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Sickening, like, sickening.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16However, despite Corey's protests of innocence,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18when he appeared before the courts,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21he pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary,
0:26:21 > 0:26:25taking a car without consent and driving with no insurance.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29He was sent to prison again, for two years.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32A positive result for the CID team.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35It's been a very long day. Luckily that's the end of it.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37For today, anyway.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42You've got a group of young children
0:26:42 > 0:26:46diving off the Princess Of Wales Docks in SA1.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51On their way to the docks area of Swansea
0:26:51 > 0:26:54are response officers Jamal and Jo.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57What I would say in relation to this call, I'm not a good swimmer,
0:26:57 > 0:27:01so I hope she's a better swimmer than me.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Stay there, guys. We only want to have a chat with you.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Don't run, now.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Right, guys. We know you've been in the water,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12cos we've been watching you from over there, all right?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It's very, very dangerous, this water.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18It's freezing cold, you don't know what's in there -
0:27:18 > 0:27:20shopping trolleys, everything at the bottom of there.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22You could get into danger in there, OK?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25As I said to your mates, there's nobody around here
0:27:25 > 0:27:29that's close enough to be able to save you in time, is there?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31I'm sure your parents wouldn't be happy.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33What school do you go to, boys?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Are you all the same age? Yeah?
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Please, please, do not be jumping in the docks, OK?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43OK. There you are. Thanks, guys. Ta-ra. Ta-ra.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Luckily for Jo and Jamal,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50their life-saving skills were not needed on this occasion.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Problem was the school I went to didn't have a swimming pool,
0:27:54 > 0:27:58so you didn't get many lessons, like.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03They'd book the leisure centre and you'd have an hour. I was deprived.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Next time on Police 24/7.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Training gets tough for 62 new recruits for South Wales Police.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Response officers are called to an assault on a paramedic.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26He threw about six punches.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30I mean, it wasn't minimum effort, it was, you know...
0:28:30 > 0:28:35And road policing officer Tony Rees overcomes a language barrier.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE
