Risk and Security Division

The death threat led to the involvement of the Risk and Security Division of the NPA, though tracing the source was hindered by the use of a burner phone without a registered SIM card.

“The matter was escalated to the Risk and security Division of the NPA. They did follow up on that message. It was one of those phones that did not have a registered SIM card, so it sent a message and you could not then go ahead and trace the user of the telephone.”
