Police officers are poring over CCTV pictures in the hunt for a missing 12-year-old. Detective Chief Inspector Nick Scola said of the search for Tia Sharp: “We are currently examining CCTV; at this time we have found no trace of Tia on the footage examined thus far, but this is an ongoing process which will take time.” He added that images of the girl and details of her disappearance are spread far and wide, including on social media websites.
One of the main features of CCTV Surveillance Ltd’s systems, is that they are integrated to work with a standard PC monitor. Our sophisticated CCTV software has a site tree facility that allows servers and individual cameras to be accessed quickly, and the inclusion of the multi-site viewing facility makes the management of sites more efficient and responses to events even quicker. Remote management of your CCTV network via LAN, WAN, or the internet is also possible through the CCTV software.
CCTV footage revealed a quick stop as a passenger resulted in criminal damage – by chewing a seat. A young man was travelling on a bus journey through the English Riviera, when he apparently took a liking to a leather seat and began biting it. Police are unsure whether he actually digested the piece of seat but the CCTV pictures displayed the suspect clutching a bottle of fizzy drink, which may have been the accompaniment to a meal.
A pensioner and a shop worker were captured on CCTV as they thwarted a gang raid by snatching loot. The five men tried to rob at a jewellery store in Bury St Edmunds. Pensioner Michael Graver, speaking about the botched Suffolk raid, said: “I’ve never done this before and, believe me, I’m not the sort of person who would go looking for trouble in any way, shape or form. I suppose you would say it’s out of character.”
What the best-dressed police dog is wearing in 2012: the FidoCam. It allows police to remotely monitor the dog when it is searching. One officer enthused about the apparatus, designed to gather evidence: “This allows us a fantastic range of using the device, and we very rarely have any interference as well,” adding: “If the dog finds an indicated person we’re able to pinpoint where this person is and it allows us to come up with our next tactical plan.”
Illegal dumping is the bane of innocent landowners’ lives. One example of this occurring is criminal gangs that collect used tyres and the money from garages and deposit them, often on unsuspecting landowners who have rented out disused farm buildings for storage. The gangs take advantage of the practice when motorists obtain new tyres they pay the garage a ‘green fee’ to get rid of the old ones; then garages pay a middleman to remove the tyres and recycle them.
A bystander took footage of a man setting off fire extinguishers and pulling displays off the walls of a mobile phone shop. Employees in the store said the man had become involved in a war of words and started to damage items in the shop in Manchester city centre on Saturday afternoon.

Under new research, sponsored by NFU Mutual, it has been unveiled that the type of help volunteered by criminals in the countryside varied depending on the time of year. Where the more organised criminals are concerned, agricultural diesel and heating oil were named as key theft targets. The study looked into the tactics used by thieves now awaiting sentence for rural theft. These include taking advantage of the lack of CCTV camera coverage.
A study has been established which explores creating one regional monitoring operation for CCTV. A regional CCTV project manager based with Conwy council, Julian Sandham, said the results of the feasibility study would be presented to the chief executives of six north Wales authorities at a meeting on June 22. He reiterated that “one regional operation doesn’t necessarily mean one building”. The study has been looking at one CCTV centre which would replace the existing six stand-alone operations.
High Street store owners have called for better and more extensive CCTV coverage following a spate of vandalism. Damage has taken place at British Heart Foundation shop in Hawick, Scotland. Manager of the business Jackie Megahy said incidents like these occur every week, adding: “So often, somebody gets their windows done in. I phoned the police and they told me the CCTV didn’t work. I think everybody knows that it doesn’t work and I’m worried it will happen again.”
