Busted Crows duo caught on City of Churches’ CC TV

LIVE monitored CCTV in Adelaide’s CBD captured Adelaide star Brad Crouch and young gun Tyson Stengle acting suspiciously before being busted with drugs, the state’s top cop has revealed.

The Crows pair were pulled over by police in a taxi on Grenfell Street just after 5am on Monday before being found with an illicit substance alleged to be cocaine.

The club has been unable to explain why Crouch, 26, and St eng le ,21, were pulled over by police in the taxi.

But the incidents, which has threatened their futures at the club and placed Crouch’s contract talks in jeopardy, came after the pair were captured on SA Police’s extensive security camera network.

“The circumstances that led to their being dealt with by police were captured on CCTV,” Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said.

The pair will not be charged by police but will face counselling and a club sanction after they were stopped a week after their season ended.

They were said to be receiving drugs. Anyone caught dealing is automatically charged.

Speaking at the Police Academy, at Fort Largs, on Police Remembrance Day, Commissioner Stevens declined to comment on the case’s specifics or what substance they were caught with.

Calling for private clubs and hotels to boost their security network, he said the message was that the police were watching and the “chances are you’ll be caught”.

The CC TV network is monitored around the clock.

“I can say we have a next ensive CCTV network right across the CBD,” he said yesterday.

“They are an excellent tool for detection and it enables us to position policing in the right place to prevent crime and also to respond quickly when we see crimes being committed.

“So my warning is if you think you can get away with criminal acts in the CBD we will make that much harder as a result of CCTV.”
