Winter Love Island’s security measures revealed amid fears stars could be targeted amid South African crime surge
WINTER Love Island bosses hired armed guards to protect contestants and crews amid fears kidnap gangs will target them. The crack security team will patrol the Ludus Magnus villa in South Africa non-stop using night vision CCTV and alarm beams. The villa is protected by high voltage electric gates, which will be fully manned, with trained guards posted on all the perimeters inside the property for protection. The extreme measures come after a terrifying surge of crime in South Africa - where organised gangs frequently target wealthy visitors in a bid to extort large sums of money.
