    06:35 is not early!

    3am or 4 am is 'early hours'.

    For some this may be just about bed time.

    For some of our criminal bros it may be 'just of to work time'.

    For some of our city type crims it may also be 'lust off to work time'

    Only for a small minority and the Police is it 'early hours'!

      pfft, i've always considered 9am to be far too early to be at work, so yes, 6:30 am is ridiculously early.

      3 or 4 am is the middle of the night.

    A Dangerous armed criminal and serious flight risk, obviously!

    Whilst dawn raids help bump up the overtime for xmas, which part of the risk profile warranted this approach?

    send A police officer around to the place of work mid-morning, and arrest them there, this also then acts as a deterent to any colleagues who maybe thinking of committing such acts themselves. (and no-overtime)
