Bail breaches are proving to be more challenging for police. 

A leaked police report shows people are taking advantage of the limitations of ankle bracelets by wrapping them with tinfoil and re-offending. 

Police Assistant Commissioner Naila Hassan told Mike Hosking that the percentage of people breaching hasn't changed, but the number of people on bail has. 

Hassan says the increased volume means more people are breaching bail conditions, making it a more demanding problem than six years ago.  

She says she can't comment on whether these people should be in jail.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
