All Blacks 'bug' guard: not guilty1 NEWS However, Adrian Gard has been reportedly charged with carrying out a security act without a licence. An All Blacks security guard has been found not guilty of making up claims he found a bugging device at the team's Sydney hotel a year ago. Atkinson did, however, find Gard guilty of a second charge of acting as a security consultant without the proper licence. All Blacks captain Kieran Read had earlier told the court he believed Gard was "honest and loyal". The All Blacks had wanted the investigation into the bug handled internally to avoid the media getting involved.
