Police want to name the man seen leaving a store who was caught on CCTV camera at the store in Crabtree in the South West. He wanted to exchange some £20 notes for £10 notes.
Pressure is being put on police resources in the wake of financial cutbacks from central government. The British Crime Survey last September showed that more than 50 per cent of people believe that the police and local agencies are dealing with local anti-social behaviour and crime issues. The private security industry can continue to provide valuable support via CCTV monitoring of areas particularly hit by crime or anti-social behaviour, which can ease the strain on police forces.
Doing the rounds on well-known news clip websites is a short piece of footage which is currently amusing internet users: a scrap dealing company is captured on its own CCTV crushing a band’s brass.

The footage shows a gang of at least four men unloading the gear out of a packed hatchback car. The instruments include a trombone, a large gong and cymbals.
CCTV cameras are proving to have been a benefit for the Metropolitan Police Service in 2010 as they helped the force to identify more than 2,500 wanted people. This is an increase of a quarter on the statistics for 2009. The “Met’s” Caught on Camera pages contain images of suspects wanted for various offences throughout London. It is regularly updated, and anyone who can help identify those pictured on the website (or any other suspects) is urged to call the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
“The scheme represented the worst aspect of Government. It was intrusive, bullying, ineffective and expensive,” was the verdict of Home Office minister Damian Green on the recent axing of a national identity card programme via a parliamentary bill. He continued: “That’s why the first Home Office Bill of this Coalition Government has scrapped ID cards and the National Identity Register.” Green added that the Government is committed to scaling back the power of the state and restoring civil liberties.
Hayley Parsons of Rogerstone, Gocompare.com’s chief executive, said about a new campaign using their popular character: “Children love the character and like to sing-along to the ‘Go Compare’ song. If they now sing the ‘Be Aware’ tune to their parents, that will really help get the ‘Beat the Burglar’ message home.” She was referring to an advertisement in which Gocompare.com teamed up with Gwent Police helping them fight crime. Most production costs were met through Gocompare.com’s corporate social responsibility agenda.
A village petrol station had to be closed the morning after a robbery. Police officers and crime scene investigators were called out to the garage, owned by petroleum giants BP, on the A36 Salisbury Road in Hampshire and the area was sectioned off for examination.

North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) has stepped up security practices by introducing CCTV in its vehicles to record any attacks on members of staff. The new measure is designed to provide proof of any attack that may be needed in any subsequent court cases. A spokeswoman for NEAS said: “The aim of the cameras is to observe attacks on paramedics. The evidence can then be used in any legal action we take following an incident. Also, as more people know about them, we hope they will act as a deterrent.”
