By 2008, Operation Minstead had logged over 1,000 potential victims. The pressure on police was immense. Families were terrified. Elderly people across South London were installing alarms, triple-locking doors, sleeping with lights on. Then, finally, science caught up with Grant's arrogance. DNA evidence from ten crime scenes was meticulously collected—mostly from victims brave enough to undergo medical examinations after their assaults. The samples were run through databases. Enhanced. Cross-referenced. And the name that came back? Delroy Grant. The same name that had been on the list a decade earlier. In November 2009, police moved in. They didn't just arrest him—they'd been surveilling him for weeks, building an airtight case. When officers finally confronted Grant at his home in Brockley, South London, he seemed... calm. Almost too calm.
