Cases Cracked

Two more cases from our archive showing the range of the day-to-day activities undertaken by the Valleywatch team to help keep Team Valley a safe place to work and do business.

Intruders on site
Whilst on a foot patrol at the rear of a member’s premises an insecure door was found and noises could be heard coming from the far end of the building. The foot patrol contacted Control, who informed the Police and focused cameras on the location, which showed people climbing out up over the roof in an attempt to escape. A Police Dog Unit attended site and, with our assistance, cut off the escape route thus stopping the intruders. On further inspection tools were discovered which would have assisted the intruders in a theft but, thanks to the quick thinking of our foot patrol, they had been disturbed before anything was taken. Three persons were arrested.

Dangerous Driving
Whilst monitoring the cameras in the Control Room an operator spotted a group of youths in the empty car park of a member’s premises. The youths were attempting to jump into the sun roof of a moving vehicle and doing hand brake turns, coming close to damaging the member’s property. A mobile patrol was dispatched and the Police informed. The youths spotted the camera following them so left the Valley prior to Police arriving. However, using evidence obtained from our cameras, the Police were able to track the vehicles and stop them.
