The CCTV pods were piloted in a shop in Northampton

An anti-crime kit in Dalek style in which the shop theft is reduced in a city center is now being introduced for the summer.

Temporary CCTV pods that had been tested in a shop in Northampton are financed by the police, crime and fire officer (OPFCC) as part of a strategy for crime trading.

According to the commissioner, Danielle Stone from Labor, the pods help to monitor the activities and act as visual deterrence for crime.

She said it was one of her “top priorities” to discuss the effects of retail crimes on the communities.

When the CCTV pods were installed in the Vintage -Guru shop in Northampton, the owner Julie Teckman said that they reminded them of the notorious doctor, the cyborgs.

She said that the units were successful within a few weeks in the deterrent of opportunistic crime.

She said, “You are quite big and striking what you need so that people know that they are being watched.”

Commissioner Ms. Stone has now agreed to finance her as part of her strategy for public security.

The news was announced at a round -tablest event in retail, in which PFCC, chief Constable, specialists for crime prevention and retailers came together to discuss the basic causes of shop theft.

Dan Pickard, Manager of Corby's city center, heard that new measures to combat a “massive highlight” of the anti -social behavior reduced crime by 75%.

Mr. Pickard said: “We had a massive highlight of anti -social behavior in the city center last year.

“We went from around 30 heavy anti -social behavioral incidents per month to 220 over a persistent period of four months.

“The PFCC office managed to receive additional funds for Home Office for the Corby Town Center, and the three-quarter of these crimes is now disappearing-it was incredible to have a reduction in anti-social behavior by 75%.

He added that the footfall case had grown by 18% last year in the past month compared to the previous year.

Ms. Stone said: “Combating retail crime and the effects on our community is one of my top priorities. It is really important that discussions with retailers make sense and measures are given away.

“We want to understand what drives the crime and as soon as we understand that we can start finding solutions.”
