The Crime Intelligence members gathered information on a shoe factory operating in Chatsworth which had illegal immigrants in their factory. After sufficient ground work done, crime intelligence members decided to operationalise the information they had at hand.

After a short briefing between the role players, they proceeded to Silverglen where they pounced at a factory for a surprise inspection. A factory which consists of a three story building and employs well in access of three hundred (300) staff members, officials had their work cut out for them. Officials began their inspection and discovered that 35 employees did not possess any work permits and were also in the country illegally. All the 35 illegal were placed under arrest; most of the arrested illegal immigrants in the factory were from Lesotho and Malawi.
