Chantelle asks how Bianca is getting on with Tommy and is pleased when Bianca says Tommy is good. Bianca is also more accepting to the set up Tommy has with Ari – she doesn’t see Ari as a threat.
Neil addresses the team giving a time check and the name of the operation which he says is now launched.
Sarah advises we all know our roles and will enter target premises in approximately 25 minutes. People arrested at scene to be separated from each other and kept isolated.
