Police have been carrying out extra patrols in the area over the last few weeks in May after damage to a popular Roman tourist attraction. Metal post caps were removed, among other criminal acts, at the ancient Scarborough Castle. Management for the castle, which sits on a hill overlooking the sea and the town, confirmed it was often a target of anti-social behaviour. The attack is thought to have taken place sometime at the weekend last week.
It is frequently difficult to monitor and secure a large building. CCTV Surveillance Ltd can fit Digital Covert Cameras which allow you to create monitoring solutions so that the cameras are never seen. This is ideal if you want to catch someone known to be a nuisance, but don’t want to put them off by advertising the presence of a camera. Covert cameras are the ultimate in spy cam technology. Tiny devices that can be hidden in places such as smoke alarms enable you to catch perpetrators in the act.
Premier League player David Goodwillie has been found guilty of a street attack that was caught on CCTV. The Blackburn ace was given a 12-month probation order after admitting the assault. He was caught on surveillance cameras attacking John Friel following a late night argument. CCTV footage of the incident showed Goodwillie confronting Friel and punching him on the head and body. Goodwillie appeared in the dock less than 24 hours after the final whistle of his team’s defeat by Tottenham Hotspur.
Two men were seen near the scene of a fatal attack who police want to speak to. CCTV images of several people who may have witnessed the midlands incident have been released by officers.

Police are appealing for information after copper thieves stole scrap from a disused primary school. The break-in occurred between Friday, March 30 and Thursday, April 12 at the Libanus School, near Brecon, Wales. Thieves entered the premises through a window and took leftover metal piping plus two boilers. Officers added that the criminals even took the fuses from the fuse box and cut all the wires in order to remove the plastic and obtain the copper within. 
A spokesman for the developer at a prominent skyscraper explained away a recent break-in. Both Sellar Property Group and contractor Mace stated about the Shard building breach: “We believe this is an incident which took place when we were undertaking both ground and structure works.” They said the breach was soon discovered, adding: “Today security on the site is tight with 14 night-time security guards on duty continuously, as well as 25 CCTV cameras together with a laser alarm system.”
Seven top of the range digital cameras now surround a historic building because of repeated thefts. Lead downpiping is just some of the metal that has been stolen from the Roman Catholic cathedral in Norwich. Estates manager Rev Patrick Limacher said it was a “sad state of affairs” more cathedrals were being affected. Mr Limacher added: “Thefts from Catholic churches have been a particular problem and in one case a tabernacle was stolen.”

Another bizarre incident related to a Premiership footballer demonstrated the role of CCTV. Mario Balotelli was asked to exit Manchester’s Trafford Centre after refusing to pull down the hood of his top.

The Trafford Centre explained its policy of asking customers to remove hoods enabled security staff to track their movements of known offenders on CCTV.
