Comments Off on Manned CCTV system helps drive down crime levels in Wyre
A newly reinstated manned CCTV camera system has helped drive down crime levels across Wyre, a news report in the local media can reveal.
Statistical figures for the 2014 calendar year show criminal damage and anti-social behaviour were both down. The latest figures for the 2014/15 financial year show the trend looks set to continue.
Coun Roger Berry, Wyre Council’s cabinet member for neighbourhood services, said figures distributed at last month’s Wyre Community Safety Partnership meeting showed theft was down eight per cent and shoplifting had fallen by more than five per cent in 2014.
During that time, total crime dropped 3.4 per cent, although police said the current year-to-date figures since April are showing an even bigger fall of 5.1 per cent.
He added: “While we are not complacent, we are obviously very pleased.
“We have the CCTV, which is manned by volunteers, that is really helping the police.
“We have it in all four shopping centres in Wyre and they are able to assist police.”
