Antoinette Thompson States,
I am a gazetted Route Inspector since November 1, 2019 employed to the Transport Authority and attached to the Swansea Satellite Office, Osbourne Store, Clarendon. My duties as an Inspector include the monitoring and regulating of public passenger vehicles and prosecuting for breaches of the relevant Road Traffic enactments. 
On Tuesday the 7th day of January 2020, Route Inspector Ms. Sashay Smikle and I reported for duty at 6:30am for a covert operation scheduled to take place on that day. The duty for the day entailed making observations of a specific vehicle PE8684 based on intelligence and complaints received as well as to report these observations back to my supervisors.
I was strategically placed along the intersection of Jackson Street and Glenmuir Road along with my colleague S. Smikle when about 7:40 am I observed a Mitsubishi motorbus with the said registration number PE8684 travelling along Glenmuir Road fully laden with School children from various schools. It came to a stop at the Glenmuir High school gate and students from the said school began to exit the same bus. 
On observing this I began videotaping the occurrences using my Galaxy J7 cell phone. I managed to capture students exiting the said bus along with the registration. I began making my way closer to the school where I observed that the students were paying monies upon exiting the bus to an adult male who had exited the bus and came around to the passenger door. He was at the door and clad in a white T-shirt and black pants. They handed over monies in the form of $100 notes, $500 notes, $1000 notes and change was being handed back in the forms of $500 notes and $100 notes as well. I pointed out my observations to Ms Smikle and reported the same occurrences to my supervisor this same time.
 After all the Glenmuir high school children paid and entered the school premises the driver then continued on the Glenmuir road Route along with other school children. Ms. Smikle who was across the road from where I was informed me that she saw school children clad in Glenmuir Preparatory School uniform was seated in the bus heading towards Manchester Avenue. This was also communicated to my supervisor.
Further instructions led my colleague S. Smikle and me on to Jackson Street in the vicinity of the Glenmuir Preparatory School to observe if the said vehicle would travel along this road to set down the students observed earlier. Whilst on Jackson Street I observed the same Vehicle at about 8:36am came up onto Jackson Street and entered the Glenmuir Preparatory School premises along with two other buses. At this moment the students who attends this school was seen exiting the same bus and headed towards the school buildings. Notations were made of these activities by both myself and Ms Smikle.
On Friday January 10, 2020 about 7:00am again I was covertly dispatched in the vicinity of the Glenmuir High School to make further observations and notations of the said bus registered PE8684. Ms. Smikle was placed further along Glenmuir Road in the vicinity of the Stoplight. About 7:40am I observed when a blue coaster bus as well as a pink, green and blue coloured bus came and set down students. I reported this observation to my Colleague A. Williams who was on another team in a strategic location to intercept the bus as soon as it was identified.  
About 7:50 I observed when the same pink, green and blue bus came once more and was setting down a second batch of Glenmuir high school students, some of these students whom I could have identified as passengers from the bus PE8684 on Tuesday 7th January 2020. I immediately reported the same compromise to A. Williams who informed me at this time that they had apprehended the said bus and was in the process of seizing it on Jackson Street. I was later informed by Ms Williams that the driver was ticketed for driving with an expired driver’s license, the Registration plates were the incorrect plates affixed as it should have bear a private plate, because the road license for the bus was surrendered in 2019. There was no insurance coverage for the bus nor the children he transported.
