4:04>> You ain't got none OF THEM. YOU GOT HIM.
4:05TAKE HIM.
4:06>> Take him. Take care. DRUGS.
4:13ME.
4:14>> You're going to be all over. All over,
4:15man.
4:16>> Algeria, your family's going to see
4:17that. Your family's going to see that
4:19footage in Algeria.
4:22>> That's all you can say, huh?
4:23>> So, final report will go on. I'll get
4:25your details, but if you're not willing
4:27to come back to the UK to go to court,
4:29then we're going to have to let him go.
4:30That's that's how the system works here.
4:32>> Is there is there any any way I can
4:35punish him?
4:35>> So, we we got his details. So, a crime
4:37report will go on and build a big
4:39intelligence picture.
4:40>> Okay. But if you're not willing to kind
4:41of give us a statement and go to court
4:42in the long term, it's very limited what
4:44we can do.
4:44>> Sorry, officer. But in case like we spot
4:46everything, we are so so to to to
4:50basically prosecute him, the CPS won't
4:52go forward.
4:53>> Officer, this is this a witness here.
4:55100 people witness.
4:56>> No, no. I get I get that. But if he's a
4:58victim and he's obly the courts, it has
5:01to be in like how do I explain it? In
5:03the public interest to prosecute him. So
5:05the courts won't say something's in the
5:07public interest if the victim doesn't
5:08want to know. He's obviously the courts
5:10will say he's got his cameras back.
5:11Obviously, yeah, he has been saying that
5:12crime court has gone on, but is it worth
5:14the court spending money to prosecute
5:16him and that's kind of where the UK law
5:19stands?
5:20>> Could court be online?
5:21>> No, it has to be in person. If he
5:23doesn't come back, then he gets in
5:24trouble. So, not attending court.
5:26>> Obviously, we're going to grab all your
5:27details, grab your footage. He's quite
5:28well known to us. So, obviously we can
5:30deal with him internally and issue him
5:32like CBO's.
5:33>> I'm very like CBO right now.
5:35>> So, we can't do it right now.
5:36>> Why not? because the CDO has to go to a
5:39court.
5:39>> Oh, you said he's aware known.
5:41>> So, he's he's known to us. Yeah, he's
5:42known to the police.
5:43>> Yeah. Obviously, I can't tell you what
5:44he's known for.
5:45>> So, obviously that's state protection,
5:47but obviously we have to deal with him
5:48in the way the law works. I can't just I
5:51can't ban him from an area in London
5:52just just on the safe. So, we can
5:54obviously remove him. It's very limited
5:55on what we can do.
5:56>> Can I ask you a question? Realistically,
5:57that looks like, you know, he's going to
5:59be removed right now, but tomorrow he's
6:00going to be back here.
6:01>> Yeah.
6:03>> Today,
6:04>> the issue is if the victim doesn't want
6:05to do anything about it. Okay. Then
6:07what? There's not
6:09>> It's not that they not want to do
6:10something about because they're not
6:11going to be here right now, but he going
6:13to be here like tomorrow. I spotted him
6:15like I've spotted him like two weeks
6:17ago, 3 weeks ago. So, he's recommending
6:20I get that. But ultimately, we need the
6:21support of the victim to move forward
6:23and I appreciate you guys giving us
6:24statements and I see I've I've dealt
6:26with some of the jobs you guys have
6:27dealt with before, okay? But the only
6:28issue is we need the support of the
6:30victim and ultimately if he doesn't come
6:31back to court in the future in 6 months
6:34time to a year then he's the one gets in
6:36trouble and it's it's so that's kind of
6:39where we stand.
6:40>> Yeah. You're going to change you're
6:41going to going to make each other again.
6:44>> Sir sir sir please please sir.
6:47>> You're like a dog. You couldn't my side.
6:50You could
6:54lucky
6:57you.
6:57>> Oh, you're going to smash someone, huh?
6:59You're not going to do [ __ ] You're not
7:00going to do [ __ ]
7:02>> You're a little loser. You're not going
7:04to do [ __ ]
7:05>> Look at you. Look at you. You're not
7:06going to do [ __ ]
7:08>> Are you guys on TikTok?
7:09>> Yeah.
7:10>> I swear I've seen you.
7:12>> Yeah, we c we catch pig pockets.
7:14>> Now I'm going to get clips.
7:16>> Hey guys, it's Georgia from New York.
7:18>> Oh, really? What do you think about the
7:19situation?
7:20>> This is crazy.
7:21>> It's It's not your job. I know you do
7:23it. Okay.
7:24>> Where was you guys? He's stealing here
7:26every single day. He You know, that's
7:29that's not fair, man. Come on. Not fair.
7:30>> That's not fair. Not fair.
7:32>> You I've seen you before. You You were
7:34going You go all the time. Okay. And you
7:36catch them. I I applaud that. We can't
7:39do that. You know, we can't do that.
7:40>> But the video shows the camera inside
7:42his bag. That's not his.
7:43>> I understand that. I very much
7:44>> That's why we should start with that.
7:46>> Yeah, we do start with that. He's
7:47arrested for theft. Okay. The next step
7:49is to take to a police station, build a
7:51case, tell the court this guy's here for
7:54theft. Right. The court going to say,
7:55"Where's the victim? He's gone back home
7:57to where? Where you from, sir?"
7:59>> US.
7:59>> US.
8:00>> He's flying back to America. He's not
8:01here. Judge is going to say, "No further
8:03action. No victim. The victim here is
8:06not going to come out to London to go to
8:07court." Okay. So, without that, the
8:10theft element is now gone. We can't get
8:12in trouble to theft because this guy
8:14won't come to London to go to court to
8:15see it through. Oh, how many how many
8:17times already bringing the victim to you
8:19guys? You got
8:20>> And the last guy the last way you gave
8:21me he went to prison. Remember the ultra
8:23street. What's he done? What's he done?
8:24>> Sto's phone. And where's the victim?
8:26>> That could be the victim's phone.
8:28>> That could be the victim's phone.
8:30>> Well, jump off him.
8:30>> Yes. Victim got the phone back. Victim
8:32came here.
8:33>> Good.
8:34>> He was there as well. You were both
8:36there.
8:36>> Okay. He went, he got charged. He went
8:38to court. He come back out again. That's
8:39how it works.
8:40>> Are you going to let him go here or
8:42around the corner or at the station?
8:44>> We're not going to tell you that.
8:45>> We know who he is. It's going to be
8:46secret.
8:47>> It's not a secret. So, the last last
8:48thing I need is you guys to go and have
8:50another scrap with him. All the best,
8:51guys. All right. Hope you have a better
8:52evening. All right. Take care.
8:54>> See you later.
8:55>> How much camera worth?
8:56>> £34,000.
8:59>> £3,000. So, even though he was not
9:01arrested, at least we got the camera
9:03back and £3,000 saved.
