In 1997, police were on high alert, as gang wars were threatening to take over Sydney. Armed bikies were rampaging through the streets, often in stolen vehicles, wreaking havoc and committing brazen crimes in busy public areas. 

On one warm day in November, general duties officer Jeff Garland spotted two men with their hands concealed in heavy trench coats rush into a silver porsche. 

Immediately, something seemed off. The coats when it was so warm, the hands in their pockets and the flash car. He could’ve easily let them go, but instead he followed his hunch and pursued the two men. 

Join host Brent Sanders as Jeff unpacks this case and a number of others from his time in the force.
