Hyndburn Police have posted a message on their Facebook wall appealing for owners of CCTV to help improve the local network in the fight against crime:
"Do you own a CCTV system? If so, please read on and share this post as you may be able to help us and your community……. CCTV now plays a major part in criminal investigations and is often the key piece of evidence that ensures the criminal gets convicted. Many people who own CCTV only really think of its benefits when they are themselves a victim of crime but it can also help other victims get the... justice they deserve. Quite often the offenders are seen going or leaving the scene of a crime on CCTV located close by or a few streets away. However, identifying and locating where the CCTV is located is often a time consuming job for the Police. To try and speed things up a bit we are trying to create a record of community spirited people and businesses who own CCTV systems and would be happy to provide these details to us. That way if we have a crime in your area we can drop you a quick text or an email with details or a description for you to check your system for us. This way you can help us speed up an investigation and hopefully help catch the offenders and protect your community from further crimes. If you would like your details adding to the list simply drop a quick email to DI Eric Halford of Blackburn Police at eric.halford@lancashire.pnn.police.uk containing your method of contact such as mobile or email and the location of the camera and we can add you to it. Thanks for your help and support."
