A quote I have found in relation to Monty: “At the end of 1998, Sergeant MONTEFIORE, the Intell Sergeant at Cabramatta retired. This man left a huge void, in what was, one of the great Intell Offices in the NSW Police Service, with National and International contacts. It was a show piece of Crime Intelligence. Information required by Police was instantly available as was the names, addresses, photo’s associates etc of every known gang member in the area, particularly the highly dangerous and ruthless 5T. The Intell office was a remarkable area”

Man charged after two drownings

SYDNEY: A man who hired out an allegedly unseaworthy boat to five men, two of whom drowned when it sank in 1982, has been charged over the incident.

Mr Rodney Ernest Frank Steventon, of Burwood, in Sydney, has been summonsed to appear in the St James Court of Petty Sessions on September 24.

At Glebe Coroner’s Court on Friday, an inquest into the deaths of the two men heard that Mr Steventon had been summonsed on a charge alleging that on or about July 24, 1982, he had sent the vessel Fortuna out in an unseaworthy condition, endangering the lives of the master and crew.

Coroner Margaret Sleeman found that the master, Mr Angikasi Tine, and engineer, Mr Souhial Shami, had drowned on September 9, 1982, when the Fortuna turned over and sank east of Port Stephens, north of Newcastle.

Sergeant Hilary Hansen of the water police said that the 15-metre diesel steel fishing boat had been owned by the Mutual Acceptance Corporation and leased by Mr Steventon.

The boat’s crank case had broken down a day after leaving Sydney for Fiji on July 24, 1982, and the vessel had been towed into Port Stephens.

It had set off for Fiji again on September 7, but had sunk in rough seas early on September 9.

A distress signal had been sent by the master and the engineer, but only the three other crew members had made it to a life raft, to be picked up by a Japanese freighter several hours later.

Sergeant Hansen said that the report of the Marine Operations Division included recommendations on shortcomings of the boat’s life raft, instability in the vessel and lack of survey certificates.

It had been suggested in the report that the matter be referred to a Court of Marine Inquiry.

He was single.

He was licenced to drive vehicles:

GD’s cars, Utes & Light Trucks – passed 19 December 1975

Heavy Trucks, Heavy Patrol Vans & Omnibuses – passed 25 September 1978. ( This would have been for the Rescue Squad ).

He was part of Secondary Training Class 148A and gained a mark of 355 = 88.75%

He attended lectures on the “Techniques of Aerial Observation” at the Police Rescue Squad ( most probably at Marrickville Rescue HQ ) ON 9th & 30th August 1978. Also attended the Police Disaster and Rescue Branch training course of 1978 / 1979.

Shortly after 9.30am on 22 September, 1973 Constable McIntosh was riding a Police Special Traffic Patrol solo motor cycle from Bankstown Police Station to Lakemba. As he was travelling along Wattle Street a panel van travelling in the opposite direction made a right turn in front of the police cycle. Constable McIntosh was unable to avoid a collision and the cycle struck the side of the van. The constable died as a result of injuries received in the collision.

The constable was born in 1946 and joined the New South Wales Police Force on 8 August, 1966. At the time of his death he was attached to the Traffic Branch.

My deepest condolences to Steve, his wife Wendy and four kids – Grant, Amanda, Mitchell & Renee.

Steve was diagnosed with a lung disease, years earlier, and was on the transplant list, although he deteriorated prior to a suitable lung being found.

Steve was a good hearted and very funny bastard when I worked with him at Fairfield Police Station.

In his early days, at Fairfield, we were on Night Shift driving around the CBD when we were given the details of a vehicle which had recently been stolen in the area.

We were in a Holden sedan with a single roof bar which only had a blue revolving light in the centre and the old pull / push button ‘Were’ siren ( manually pulling and pushing the toggle switch produced the siren sound as the mechanic component spun around ).

A short time later we driving towards the Horsley Dve when we spotted the stolen vehicle turn in front of us with ‘4 heads on board’.

In those days we only had 4 working police radio channels and all Warrant and Vehicle enquiries were made on the ‘back channel’. Steve went to the ‘back channel’ and did a transport check ( just to confirm we had the correct vehicle – which we did ).

He sat there dumb founded ( this was his first stolen car ). I told him that he had better go back to the ‘working’ channel and tell VKG – which he did.

I wasn’t in a hurry to stop the stolen vehicle and it wasn’t being driven in an unusual manner. We followed it out to Smithfield whilst awaiting other Police vehicles to come to the area.

It was now time to make the Stop. The stolen vehicle casually approached a Stop sign and complied with it. I then drove up alongside the drivers door to indicate to the driver to pull over. At this time, Steve leant out of the passenger door of the Police car, with his small rubber baton in hand and attempted to hit the driver as he commenced to drive off. One of the funniest bloody things I have ever seen.

We pursued the stolen vehicle down into the Merrylands patrol where the offenders abandoned the vehicle alongside of the old Wool Shed and decamped on foot.

The offenders were run to ground ( we were hell of a lot fitter back in those days ), arrested and taken to Fairfield Police Station where they were charged.

There were no formal eulogies for Constable Tanzeel Bashir but everyone who gathered for his funeral on Tuesday knew what the community had lost.

Constable Bashir, who took his own life last weekend, was farewelled with Islamic rites at Lakemba Mosque in Sydney‘s south-west in a service attended by family, friends and colleagues.

The 23-year-old was remembered as a loving son and brother and widely respected police officer.

Constable Berkay Tustas graduated from the New South Wales Police Academy with Constable Bashir in 2019 and could not fathom his friend was gone.

‘He wouldn’t hurt a fly,’ Constable Tustas said outside the mosque. ‘But he hurt himself.’

Constable Bashir, 23, was found dead in the Royal National Park, south of Sydney, about 12.40am on Saturday.

Police had commenced a search about 10.30pm on Friday after concerns were raised for the off-duty Bankstown Police Area Command officer’s welfare.

Constable Charlene Challita was among those hardest hit by her colleague’s death. ‘He was my best mate,’ she said after the service.

One friend who preferred not to be named said he had grown up with Constable Bashir in the Belmore-Lakemba area and had last seen him three weeks ago.

‘I’m simply shocked,’ he said. ‘We never saw it coming.

‘He was kind-hearted, down-to-earth and just a charming personality.’

Canterbury Bankstown deputy mayor Bilal El-Hayek said the local community was mourning a fine young policeman and his family was trying to understand why he was gone.

‘He was a loving son and brother and proud officer, gone too soon,’ Mr El-Hayek said.

‘It’s a timely reminder of the human face of the men and women who serve our community.’

Cousin Momin Ali said his cousin had loved being a police officer from the start. ‘Tanzeel was very dedicated to his job,’ he said. ‘He wore his uniform with a lot of pride.’

The 23-year-old was remembered as widely respected police officer by shattered colleagues.

Constable Tustas, who was rostered on duty, waited outside while prayers were said for his dead friend. He was inconsolable but workmates tried to offer comfort.

‘I had to make my way here,’ he said. ‘I came to pay my respects to him because I owe him that much.

‘Tanzeel had the purest heart of all. Purer than crystal. There’s no words. I can’t register anything. I just can’t believe it.’

Constable Tustas spoke of a young man who loved his cricket, football and animals – often sending him unsolicited pictures of his cats.

‘The way Tanzeel was if you needed anything done at the academy or in general he wouldn’t even ask why,’ he’d just do it,’ Constable Tustas said. ‘He was always there for me.’

‘I feel so sorry for the family. If I’m feeling like this, how do they cope? May he rest in peace. I loved the kid.’

Momin Ali said the suicide of a friend’s girlfriend several years ago had been part of the reason his cousin had chosen to join the police force.

‘He just felt he wanted to help people,’ Mr Ali said. ‘To reassure people that there is help out there for those who need it. It was his dream to help people.’

Mr Ali said his cousin had loved being a police officer from the start.

‘Tanzeel was very dedicated to his job,’ he said. ‘He wore his uniform with a lot of pride.

‘He never hurt anyone. All he wanted to do was to put smiles on people’s faces. It was just the type of person he was.’

As for what had driven his cousin to despair, Mr Ali had no idea.

‘I guess everyone goes through their own battles,’ he said. ‘He seemed really happy.

‘He’d seen some things but every time when I asked him how he was going he’d say “I love the job”.’

One of Constable Bashir’s relatives had appealed on Facebook for family and friends to attend his funeral and hundreds came to the service.

‘It is with a heavy heart I announce our beloved Tanzeel Iftikhar Bashir, 23 years old, a loving son, brother and friend has returned to his Lord,’ the relative wrote.

‘Please spread the word so that we can have as many people attend my cousin’s janazah as possible.’

Loved ones used social media to remember Constable Bashir, who had two younger sisters, as a ‘loving son, brother and friend’.

‘Rest in peace to an absolute legend,’ one said. Others remembered a ‘fun guy’ and ‘great man’.

A funeral notice asked Allah to bestow comfort upon Constable Bashir’s family and loved ones.

‘O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him and grant him peace and pardon him,’ the notice stated.

‘Receive him with honour and make his place of entry spacious. Admit him into Paradise and protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.’

Constable Tustas was one of four constables and a dozen commissioned officers to form a guard of honour as his friend’s casket was carried back down the mosque’s steps to a waiting hearse.

Three police motorcyclists led the 45km cortege to Narellan Cemetery for the burial.

As the hearse passed Constable Tustas he stood alone on the road and raised one last salute.
