Thank you www.ko-fi.com/mailartjan Observational documentary series following the work of Gibraltar’s police, border force and customs force as they enforce the law on land and sea dealing with everything from drug smuggling to sinking boats.
Given the amount of drugs suspected to be within I believe that there is a real and reasonable risk of attempts being made to dispose or destroy of them I will therefore be authorizing a forced entry this is a no knock warrant okay it would be a reasonable assumption
That he would take steps to destroy the drugs I have therefore deemed the threat of him resisting as being high there may also be a large Stafford sh terot type dog in the house we have the K9 spice here anything comes out towards you you
Know what you need to do you have powers you can use with regards to force okay I not suggesting we’re going with a flamethrower but at the same time this be reasonable here we are on a Sunday night even Jesus rested on Sunday Jesus or God
Which one was it I one of them one of them rested on Sunday and we we are here as usual but hey fingers cross the best part of the job eh right here we go into the estate sight quick yeah let’s go double ready wait a by one two

Information we’ve executed a search warrant uh force entry has been used um if you could please contact uh the out of ours ggbs to come and repair we we make a lot of noise when we hit a door uh we go in there’s a lot of shouting
Going on um and that’s done for a reason it’s done to to intimidate it interferes with the process where a person formulates the the thought I’m going to grab this weapon or I’m going to go flush these drugs once that’s done back to civilization right sit down you have
A drink of a cigarette you understand why that’s happened yeah don’t worry about your door we’re going to sh your door out and we we’ll talk back on a respectful level there’s no hatred it’s not about I don’t hate this guy far from it he made a different life choice than
I did there’s consequences for that life choice we are the consequences and those circumstances the Intel looks solid this could be the third gang member and there’s evidence of drug use approximately a gr with white powder as you can see white powder all over the telephone case he’s got his ID
Cards there he’s got the rolled up Bill of money which I imagine also is full of white residue there are various other legit powders around and the cops suspect they’re not being used as a manufacturer’s intended teething granules basically it makes your teeth and your gums num which
Is the similar effect to what cocaine would do it’s usually used to bulk up cocaine and the Wardrobe is full of designer gear you notice they’re all branded clothing por Mani H Boss s mtin racing to name a few which if you’re an Lloyd it’s a bit indicative that you’ve
Got another source of money it all points to someone with a lot of spare cash on their hands like a coke dealer but reports he had a vicious guard dog may have been somewhat exaggerated obviously when we came into the house we were confronted by uh a tiger of a Dog luckily it took pity on my soul and didn’t kill me me is that right is that right you’re a good god dog got you yeah good that’s right I’ve had bigger things to eat qual combination they safe CU I don’t want have to take the whole safe safe no money some cigarettes
All the pockets of are sealed nice clear it’s a seal lock bag up no traces either even without finding a big hole of coat for dealing there’s enough to take the man in for possession we want to make the giala as hostile an environment as possible for
Those who come here to engage in drugs activity whether it’s trafficking drugs whether it’s importing drugs whether it’s selling drugs locally we we will do everything we can and we actively do everything that we can uh to stop that from happening and make people think twice about it we’ll have a good look
Around everywhere you know you’ve got a lucky break tonight but we found is nothing compared to what was here and I know it was here okay you understand yeah remember we only have to get lucky once the people who suffer here is not you it’s them okay
So all my guys the term we use is Gorillas with phds I want Hooligans who can go and write a thesa some philosophy I want these guys to be able to go out smash a door down drug their Knuckles around then go back to station and write a beautiful statement about how that
Happened and why it happened and that’s exactly what I have now but as they heading back to the station with the suspect uh control from 171 Jerry receives an urgent call see we’re going to head down um let me hold him outside I’ll send an email and his plan
Changes he orders the officers to take the suspect back to base while he heads to the harbor see we’re on our way down now we’re on our way down actually we’re just leaving the block affirmative jumping in the vehicle now Said the guy is De news has come in that the same two men Jerry’s team arrested and bailed earlier today as part of the cocaine investigation have been arrested again uniform cops are holding them at the harbor but we’re just rolling up on them now yeah Thanful H1 163 these men were arrested and bailed earlier today by Jerry Martinez and the Royal jabala police Drug Squad in a bid to crack a suspected cocaine dealing gang need to find no you didn’t do it so about all buy how about you could be better I’m
Looking just come out of the police station trying to find my phone Stu again with this good now they’ve been rearrested for threatening behavior at a nearby restaurant and a stash of 15 G of cocaine has also been found in the restaurant’s Bushes the two behind me have now returned to place of their arrest um and they’ve made threats towards the a manager but police officers have responded and they’ve also recovered from the original scene and additional 15 G of cocaine I think they’re going to be arrested now for ination of a witness
And we’ll take a view whether we want to arrest 15 GS again and we’ll we’ll take it from there but they say it’s all a misunderstanding they’re just trying to retrieve a lost phone I spoke with them and I said they come to look for my
Phone but they don’t want to let me in they don’t want to speak with me but if that’s the case I’m going to look everywhere where I want to look myself to get my phone Ione 7 not made a money you know what I mean no
Fine fine if that’s your version of fine but you have to understand we want there so they’ve called up they’ve made certain allegations we need to investigate Jerry dispatches DC Byron shoot to gather evidence so they were inside um they’ve placed some drugs behind a statue inside
Which has been seen by the staff which was called in they’ve been arrested for that the drugs obviously found and then we were coming back down to just do some further inquiry statements Etc and then they were searching the area and they found more drugs hidden in that bush and
They were sat here earlier on but they have actually come down to try and retrieve it which is why the the bushes are in such a state and they’ve tried to make off at which point they were apprehended again obiously didn’t learn the lesson and just go home for the
Night which would have been nicer for them cocaine has been found near where the men were sitting in the restaurant and the intimidation complain Stacks up uh 104 in that case I’m going to go 106 here at Marina right tell you what’s going to happen all right there’s an allegation that you’ve made threats towards that person that person is a police witness at this time okay so I’m going to ask you to step out the car I’m going to give you a quick pat down okay and then

As the van heads off Nick is continuing the search for evidence he was up on his toes cuz I I was after him on the prominade ram so he could have chucked anything from that point on here F yeah I got a good size piece here
Nice I believe there a third one here so this is apparently the third separate cannabis piece that’s been found by another officer down at location Mikey and Nathan are taken the suspect to the station there been another two pallets of cannabis uh was suspected to be cannabis resin uh located um within the
Immediate area of his arrest um apparently along the path in which he ran so uh they’ll now be season evidence and um will’ll obviously be brought up to the station where we can uh we can further put this to him um in a short time so I’m I’m absolutely with the moon
For the officers um fantastic job obviously he must have been aware that we’ve had this roadblock for up the roads hence why he’s he’s done a U-turn either that or it’s when he spotted my colleague this is another possible drug dealer off the streets tonight [Applause] One of jaa’s most important industries is the port around 9,000 ships a year use it it’s a gateway to the the med and many ships fill their tanks with fuel here before heading west across the Atlantic or east into the Med it’s up to Jala’s Customs Force to make sure nothing slips in or out of its territorial Waters without them knowing about it A mystery boat has docked in the port and Customs officer Kayla rmbo and his crew set off to invest the Gate we got a call from the rgp control room uh saying that if I report of a vessel we be inside the harbor if we can go ourselves and have a look and see what’s going on hey T the boat a small white Cruiser has no apparent permission no paperwork has been sent
No one knows what it’s doing there and similar vessels are often used to smuggle hash across the street from Morocco to jib boats aren’t allowed to Bob around among all this hardware and fuel without the authorities permission it’s not clear if the boat’s been abandoned hello oh Customs yeah can you come out Please eventually it Captain appears this person has enter jalta practically all they have to do is jump onto lands I mean they haven’t passed Customs they haven’t passed immigration hav passport clearance but it’s clear he’s just come in hasn’t really told anyone this is it inside the harbor inside the pole know
You can’t bir here like when push comes to sh really someone would only birth here if they they’re in distress or they have engine failure whatever and they’ll actually get permission from the port so we’re just going to get to the bottom of that and obviously now we’re
Going to have a call to the V tool to VTS to see if what he’s saying is actually true VTS is the ports vessel traffic service has it got any more info on the boat grab his property I’ll grab him he’s off he’s off his feet so let’s Go okay let is your belongings Nathan and Mikey have arrived at the station with the man who tried to do a runner don’t touch your head don’t touch your head the suspect’s currently in police custody he’ll be interviews in relation to to what’s happened tonight he’ll be then bailed return later date
During that time the drugs will then be sent to a friend analysist also arrived after his fingertip search of the Undergrowth 40 I think but this one is 39.95 approximate weight again it’s time to confront the suspect with the evidence found what at first seemed like a discarded pack of cigarettes contains something else this is found you recogize that no it wasn’t on talk okay right inside
Okay Nick test the white powder mind which hasn’t me the offic getting aample the let place it in here it’s gone blue and blue is positive for cocaine so you have further arrest intent supplies for me this is why I joined the job this is what it’s about
It’s being that proactive placing um it’s taking drugs off the street uh when you got a bunch of guys that are all likeminded really eager to to get out there and get stuck in uh you’re going to get results at the end of the day everyone’s super happy and it just
Continues to motivate us and want us to to continue on with fight against Crime in The Drug Squad office kiss off and let’s get comfortable cuz we’re not going anywhere right it’s the debrief after the raid on a suspected drug dealer and rearrest of two men by the
Harbor his mom when we told him we were taking this and one piece of evidence in particular is interesting Jerry a food wrapping machine seized from the suspects flat so as you can see the drugs that have been seized from the restaurant which has a very distinct uh pattern and I think
It’s called shrink wrapping it’s sort of vacuum vacuum packing is that the right way of putting it vacuum seal now if you look at the packaging we’ve seized from the residence you can see that it’s absolutely identical both samples are wrapped in the same type of textured plastic if so facto
This was prepared by him having one a plan comes together he thinks he’s connected the two cases breaking an organized drug gang sometimes I am so intelligent my head hurts that’s how clever I can be sometimes you feel proud to you I’m proud my mother should be proud sure she
Is customs officer Kalin and crew have intercepted a mystery boat that has docked without permission maybe you can help me because I was calling and nobody take Channel 71 they Answer basically he says that he’s very very low on fuel he claims he’s called the port and he’s called The Ocean Village Marina peer master and they don’t answer which is a bit unbelievable because they have the radios on all the time and that’s why they have their VHF
On so I’ve told him in front of me to now turn the VHF on whil my check the paperwork they’re going to tell you to call 71 the paperwork confirms it is the captain’s boat so basically he says he’s waiting to fill up and make his way to
Casablanca from Casablanca he’s going to wa Coast all the way down 136 yeah um where did he say he’s going to Africa Africa he grab his two nephews and so that’s that’s pretty much more legitimate obviously Africa is just across the streets he’s run out of fuel on a round
Trip from Spain to Casablanca in Morocco to pick up his nephews but that doesn’t mean he can dock overnight in D stay here you want the pap tell him he has to pay for a b he let him know he cannot B you overnight
And us to either call the ult or go to L linia is the nearest Spanish Town kin tries the commercial Marina but it’s FSE says that he’s run out of fuel and we’ve checked the fuel Gorge and it’s yeah it’s practically empty so we’ve called the ports and the ports are
Now sending the duty Port officer down and they’ll basically deal with him they are ultimately the ones that can actually give him permission to either bur around here overnight or or Whatever having assessed the unexpected visitor to be very low risk and with the port officials heading down the team continue their night Patrol we on to Devil’s Gap and Jerry’s up there waiting for us just a little bit further up the Rocks only a few minutes away from here Byron and The Drug Squad officers are meeting boss Jerry at one of jibb’s best viewpoints but it’s no picnic well
We we see some information that there may be some drugs that have been um sounds like it’s just been abandoned up there somewhere really or at some sort of a hiding spot that somebody’s using um basically someone’s told us that there some hidden up there somewhere and
We’re just going to have a look see if we can find it or see if it is true and is there basically the beautiful Rock of JTA as you can see look look at these views don’t get that in the M we’re just coming to Devil’s Gap now
To the top bit and then we’re going to meet Jerry do you want us to give you a ring when we get there yeah we’re about we’re just coming to the Windsor bridge now how we doing all right Jerry’s called reinforcements to help first up Molly the sniffer
Dog Perfect gotch you think I got you hey puppy uh we have some information that there is an amount of cannabis concealed somewhere between this gate and a gate which is further along by uh The Rock Hotel so this is a path which is close to the public however as you can see
It’s relatively easy for people to get in so it makes sense for people to hide drugs here so it is a big area it’s a good uh maybe 2 250 M down with paths uh leading to the left and the right couple of tunnels on the way so uh clearly the
Dog’s going to cover that in a quarter of the time it would take us to do a manual search so hopefully we’ll find out if the drugs are here or not so I’m hopeful plus the the the views are nice so we beat some of the houses we’ve been
In recently so I’ll be here all afternoon if I have to I’ve just got two more coming down now I’m just trying to find out where they are B I’ll give you guys a call now fact here they are m and also on hand are Nathan and Mikey
Hello Trojan hello how’s it going right very simply put I’ll give you a brief boys so I like the fact that we have a team we’re more or less all about the same age we’re all singing from the same him sheet and when you get that team uh
Sort of dynamic when you get that atmosphere where you you just want to go out and work you just want to prove that your your your team is the best out there you you’re very proud of what you do cool this is GDP dog handler yeah yeah you work with
Yeah uh the dog’s going to go ahead I just need you guys in case we do find something we want to do some climbing or whatever the area is now a nature reserve but it’s got a more turbulent history this is part of the the the infrastructure that existed in G during
The second World War uh there’s a bunker just up here bunker complex Devil’s got battery some anti-aircraft guns were up there as well uh but this path leads down to the main roadway which is Europa road down at this end so it’s part of the nature reserve is closed it’s not
Open to the public and from here it’s easy to see why Jaa is caught up in the international drugs trade over there you have Morocco that’s North Africa that’s the number one producer of cannabis resin in the world and over there you have Spain it’s the number one entry point for cannabis
Smuggle from Morocco into Europe um so you can see we’re really at the crossair at the Crossroad roads rather between the two North and South it’s you know it’s it’s inevitable that part of that will have a knock on effect locally so we do our best to Target it but you know
We’re Five Guys myself included so you know we we do the best we can uh and we keep going cuz we enjoy it so it’s not long before the team finds something suspicious oh don’t touch it don’t touch put it back put it back put it
Back that was quick where’s a dog dog’s all right past it but it’s Nathan AKA Bambi not Molly who strikes it lucky that was quick what Bambi LS I was just thinking well what’s what an idiot is walking into that bush I saw that I saw first but he got there before me
That’s I saw it he pushed you the way on this occasion it was a bit quicker than I was there always the first time only one reason there a plastic box in the it’s a loaded bir by the looks what seems to be cannabis in there so yeah to
Be cannabis res and obviously it’s in a container as well so to prevent anything like the dogs coming down here to find it obviously the dogs passed it in this incident um not to say they wouldn’t have found it on the way back up but um yeah fortunately e Bambi here managed to
Locate it and yeah good the a team as now you got to open up make sure it’s not brownies might be someone’s picnic that they’ve left your then Molly picks up the scent it’s definitely on something is it he know he know the dog knows a hey Molly there’s an indication right
She’s obviously showing interest go bamb do the Hest come here come on can you wag your tail when you pick up good boy good boy thank you D bro thank you man it’s not brownie though no it’s not brownie sure yeah definitely not open up 1 two 3 4
Five definitely cannabis just over half kilo to add to the over 300 kilos the police seized in 2020 good job to Bam me here thank you very much I looked in and it was basically just there within the bushes a few slabs uh so yeah not too
Bad All That Remains is to bag up the evidence perfect so what we’ll do now is uh these will be taken for uh forensic analysis we’ll see if we can get some DNA off the topware the exterior the interior and the drugs there we go off to the next one We’ve all known each other before Drug Squad and uh you know I think looking at the entire police force now if I had freedom to pick whoever I wanted um I would pick the team that I have now I wouldn’t change it for anything they are
Very funny I know they’ve got my back and it makes it all worth it in this episode open the door open the door the man arrested in the flat raid was released on Bell while the police continueed their Investigations the two men arrested later that night at the harbar are also on Bell investigations are continuing it’s my mom’s phone you’re going to run for your mom’s phone you don’t know my mom stop that stop the man who ran off on foot was also released on Bell I can’t see on my Legs the police are awaiting the results of further analysis on the substances they Found
