Fugitive chased by nurses
While nurses were chasing a man at Woollahra last night a young constable jumped from a bus and brought him down with a flying tackle.
Police say that the nurses saw a man in one of the rooms at the Karitane Mothercraft and Training Centre, Woollahra.
The man jumped through a window, smashing the glass.
Six nurses chased him along Nelson Street, shouting, “Stop thief.”
Constable Leslie Gerald Smith, who was off duty and travelling in a bus, heard their shouts.
He jumped off the bus, chased the man and threw him to the ground.
Constable Smith, who joined the N.S.W. police less than a month ago, was formerly a London policeman for six years.
At Paddington, police charged a 23-years-old laborer with stealing and malicious damage to property.

Rest peacefully my old mate Peter. I will miss you mate and your friendship. You were a great husband, dad, son and cop. I loved working with you Pete as you never took a step backwards and had a heart like Pharlap. You always had our backs in Hunter Region SWOS and even everyday policing, especially helping you out with your multitude of important search warrants. I loved playing touch footy with you mate and we pulled the hell out a lot bigger guys in the tug -o- war at the Sydney police Olympics in 1988. You adored your beautiful wife Kate and your family. I hope they are all okay but am sure they are hurting terribly and missing you so much. Till we catch up again brother, rest well and be proud that you lived a wonderful life and was loved by all of us.
Nothing further is known about Jan but her funeral has already been held.
May she Rest In Peace.

Peter Smith: The best boss anyone could ask for. Very loyal to those who worked under him. He did not tolerate the lazy ones. Very knowledgeable. Loved to play practical jokes just as much as I liked to get back at him. We did some good jobs together. The only real complaint I have was that he always avoided buying me a beer at Christmas.

Rank: Probationary Constable – appointed 28 June 1971
Constable 1st Class – appointed 11 July 1976 ( 2 week less Seniority )
“It is with immense sadness that I tell you our beloved husband, father and grandfather Hugh Hargreave went to heaven earlier today. He was loved by all who knew him and we will miss him forever.”
They say things come in threes. I’m not sure who ‘they’ are, but I hope they’re right! Yesterday we lost a dear dear family friend Hugh Hargreave. One of Steve’s best mates, a 2nd Dad to Jayden and one of the kindest, loving, most sincere and authentic people we have ever known. We are all better people for having known him. Our loss, is Heaven’s gain.
This is our third close death in 5 months. It feels like death is surrounding us atm. But, If there is one thing I have learned these past months , it is that death isn’t the end – but really just a doorway.
Earth isn’t our ‘forever home ‘ And Hugh was so looking forward to finally ‘really’ going home to be with Jesus and those he loved, including our Cody. (which he bragged about seeing him before Steve did❤️)
We often say Rest In Peace and for Hugh he carried that peace right to the very end of his life here on earth because he knew this wasn’t the end and he knew where he was going !
Hugh Hargreave R.I.P – Raised in Power!
REMEMBERING A WORKMATE AND FRIEND HUGHIE HARGREAVE
Deb, David, Mark, Nathan, Sam and Thomas. Most of the police names mentioned below met Hugh back in the early 1970s at Cabramatta. Cabramatta at that time was a small police station being about 3mtr by 3mtr square. A new station was built which was about 3 – 4 times the size of the original Call Box. They later moved into the house, on the same block of land, which was originally a police residence.
Being a small police patrol, the police there became very close and a close personal bond was formed. This bond has continued from the 1970s until the present time. We all went along our individual career paths, but, most of us continued to keep in touch with each other. In July 2017, Hugh, Deb and a few of the original guys from Cabramatta flew to Alice Springs to see another one of it’s crew, Bill Espie, inducted into the Hartley Street School Museum, such is the closeness of those original Cabramatta guys.
Deb, David, Mark, Nathan, Sam and Thomas, your husband/dad was a great person to work and socialise with. He was a dedicated police officer, who carried out his duties in an honourable, professional manner. It was a privilege to not only know Hughie, it was an honour to be able to call him a good mate
The following retired police officers who worked and knew Hugh would like to be remembered by the Hargreave family.
Steve Packer, Peter Croucher, Ross Bates, Danny Forster, Norm Tattersall, Phil Eddes, Sue Bytheway, Mick Mott, Ken Zegiel, Greg Callander, retired Police Commissioner Ken Moroney.
Yesterday I received a telephone call from a work mate (Peter Croucher) whom I last worked with 37 years ago. It was like we had seen each other yesterday.
I was privileged to have worked at Cabramatta when there were only 8 police. Two were aboriginal.
No one thought of anything other than respect for each other. It was an extremely busy and happy station.
I remember my first two weeks being like a baptism with fire. I attended and investigated 3 separate deaths and a fire that went to a hearing at the Coroners Court. At the end of the two weeks the boss came up to me and shook my hand and welcomed me to the station.
It was a privileged to work at this station for 7 years with an amazing group of police and two amazing commanders. They earn your respect and were the most supportive bosses I ever worked for. Trust is earned and does not come with the rank.
Peter has been researching and has now had a memorial approved for Bill Espie, who was the first aboriginal police officer to reach commissioned rank in NSW. This will be a proud moment when it is unveiled in Alice Springs where Bill was born. I am looking forward to catching up with some of the guys from the station.
It is the dedicated guys I have worked with over many years that makes my time in service such a great experience for which I am thankful. These guys at Cabramatta were amazing. We had each other’s back and were busy all the time. What an amazing time.
Thanks guys.
Graham MarandaGreat post Mr Hargreave !!! I came across Mr Espie in 1990 when we ventured out from the Eastern Suburbs and charged some crooks at his station (Cabramatta). What a gentleman !!!

Denis collapsed from a Cerebral Haemorrhage, at home, whilst mowing his lawn.
25 October 1989 Moorebank Police Patrol.
It commenced with the appointment of an Inspector and 18 Police, transferred from the Liverpool Patrol.
Originally, Moorebank Patrol had no established station (building) and the Department attempted (unsuccessfully) to operate it from Liverpool Police Station. As this was proving unsuccessful, they leased 29 and 31 Derna Road, Holsworthy. Here the NSW Police opened the Moorebank Police Station, covering the suburbs of – Moorebank, Holsworthy, Hammondville, Sandy Point, Voyager Point, Chipping Norton, and the Army Camp, which were previously under Liverpool Police.
Its first Commander was Inspector Fred Brame, the Patrol Tactician Senior Sergeant Leslie Wales, with Christine Touchard, the Personal Assistant.
Insp Brame, upon promotion moved on. He was replaced by Detective Acting Inspector R. Myers, until he was promoted and moved on.
Detective Acting Inspector Allan Tayler then relieved in this position for a short period.
Acting Inspector Denis Chalker then relieved in the position for about 6 months, while the position was advertised.
Denis Chalker was then appointed to the rank of Inspector (7/1994) and appointed Commander of the Moorebank Patrol.
Upon the promotion and transfer of Leslie Wales, in 4/1994, Detective Senior Sergeant John Stanioch was appointed Patrol Tactician.
Stanioch was promoted to Inspector in March, 1995, which resulted in his transfer to the Macarthur District Office as the Staff Officer – Operations and Intelligence.
Some of the staff attached to Moorebank were Mark Pulford; Nick Bingham; Michael Kennedy; Jason Hyatt; Paul Carlton; Peter Walsh; Graham Rea; Mark Deller; Brian Hughes; Terry Cullen; Gary Heskett; Annette Wheatley; Neville Ticehurst; Christina O’Hagan; Alan McPherson; Rod Hay; Pat Paroz; Shane Green; Rob Gleeson; Deanne Abbott; Matt Newton; Akos Lukas; Michael Masterson; David Gray; Brian Bain; Fiona Jackson; and Maureen Kennedy was the senior Public Servant, assisted by Wendy Aitchison.
Then in 1995, the “I” District Commander (later renamed Macarthur District) Chief Superintendent Phil Hopkins recalled the Detectives back to Liverpool Police Station and within the next 18 months, the Moorebank Police Station was closed and all staff returned to Liverpool and other locations.
Rental Lease was $15,600 per annum on the two buildings that police occupied.

During this period Inspector Chalker was involved in the high
profile case of the 10 day sequestration of Paul Galea’s Egg Farm at Prestons, which drew national media attention as the court case continued for many years. Then he returned to Liverpool as a Duty Officer from July, 1997 to September, 1998.
Upon retirement, he formed a ‘Handyman’ business and was involved in retail.
