Police are reviewing CCTV pictures around a supermarket after an armed robber fled empty handed when threatening a woman. A police spokesman confirmed detectives were examining footage and also remarked that police are “appealing for anyone in the area who has private CCTV from the time of the incident or before or after to contact Dorset Police urgently.” Detectives say they are separating this crime from a robbery at a post office on Tuesday, December 18 and two other incidents.
A rare vehicle was captured on camera being stolen. CCTV footage recorded at about 20:05 GMT on January 9 showed two men cutting through security poles at a car showroom in order to gain access to a Ferrari. About 40 minutes later, a flatbed-type vehicle was driven into the garage, where the valuable car was loaded on and covered with a sheet before leaving the scene. Detectives have already made one arrest in connection with the theft.
A shambolic burglar was captured on video spending almost ten minutes trying to break into a house. He attempted entry by lobbing pebbles at a patio door until it gave in. The thief, who is believed to be taller than average and left-handed, eventually got into the home but triggered an alarm. Investigating officer DC Kevin Cockayne commented: “He’s seen to easily peer over garden fencing which is six feet high and throw all the stones left-handed.”
Police have released CCTV images of a man they want to talk to in connection with a store robbery. An offender threatened a shop assistant at a Cambridgeshire branch of Costcutters and demanded he hand over cash from the register at about 6.30pm on Saturday, December 22. Investigating officer Detective Constable Ralph King remarked: “We would urge anyone who recognises the man in these images to call police. We believe he may have vital information which could assist our investigation.”
Police have distributed surveillance images of thieves stealing a skip that is thought to be worth £2,000. Officers said the 15ft (4.6m) long yellow skip weighing more than a tonne was taken from a business park in Shropshire on a week last Friday. Police said the criminals used a built-in crane in their Ford Iveco truck to load the skip on to the back of the vehicle. The truck is described as “distinctive” and possibly purple in colour.
CCTV technology is being enlisted to help catch callous thieves who stole charity boxes. A man was captured on surveillance coverage taking one at Bicester on November 9. Police have released a CCTV image of this incident, one of the three-ft (90cm) high dog-shaped boxes being taken. PC Gary Archer of British Transport Police said: “This is a sad case that has seen charity boxes taken from a public space.” Two of the boxes have since been recovered empty.
Professor Joshua Bamfield, from the Centre for Retail Research, has discussed how some retailers are hesitant in adopting IP surveillance systems. He said a survey the Centre set up has “highlighted how retailers are embracing technology and recognise the role that surveillance can play, but there is still some resistance, due to collaboration between departments, that is hampering the adoption of IP surveillance technologies.” However, 60% of retailers interviewed realised the technology can be also used for queue management.
