CCTV has been drafted in for the first time at one railway station to tackle anti-social behaviour in a crackdown on yobs after passengers complained of an “intimidating” environment. British Transport Police have launched a week-long crime crackdown on the rail network. Senior officers said Bolton Station would get special attention following passenger comments.
Passengers suffered severe disruption after rail cables were stolen the night before in the north. Network Rail said the thefts, which occurred near Manchester, meant normal service was not resumed until the middle of the following day. Anyone who can provide information about the thieves is being urged to contact police or Crimestoppers.
Surveillance cameras picked up a suspected criminal with no nerves or sense of guilt who exchanged a pile of bogus cash in a shop. 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.
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 dealer – who paid just £61 for stolen brass band musical instruments – captured himself crushing them on CCTV. The footage shows a gang of at least four men unloading the gear out of a packed hatchback car.
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.
“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.
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.
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. It is understood no-one was hurt in the raid, and no weapons were thought to be used.
