DETECTIVES | Tiger, Tiger, Tiger: the cop who stormed Lindt Cafe

The Lindt Cafe siege is one of Australia’s most infamous crimes.  A terrorist took ten customers and eight employees hostage back in December 2014.  The Sydney siege resulted in a 16-hour standoff, ending when officers from the NSW Police Tactical Operations Unit – or the TOU - stormed the cafe.  In this episode of Crime Insiders | Detectives, Brent Sanders sits down with Ben Besant, the police officer who led the police operation storming the cafe.  A warning: this episode contains descriptions of extreme violence and suicidal ideation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
