To keep your home and community safe, we’ve been upgrading our CCTV systems in most of our buildings and schemes in recent months. We now have a team who live monitor CCTV footage overnight so they can respond to, and report, any issues immediately.
As part of our drive to deter and detect crime and anti-social behaviour, we’re beginning to regularly share a range of case studies to show you how the system is working and making a positive impact on your neighbourhood.
This case study focuses on a case of criminal activity at our scheme, Beaumont House.
Suspicious behaviour
There were 3 males drinking alcohol between the main entrance of the scheme and the ground floor lift lobby.
They were pacing back and forth from the entrance of the scheme as though they were expecting to meet somebody else.
That’s when the CCTV cameras captured another male approaching the group of men and dealing drugs. The group of males then left the building in the direction of the town centre.
How was this resolved?
The operative that picked this case up on CCTV reported it to the police on 101 straight away and was able to supply the CCTV evidence immediately to the police when requested.
The operative on duty received a call from the police thanking them and gave an update that the group of men were arrested in the town centre and were found to be in possession of drugs and knives.
We’ve finished installing CCTV cameras in all of our buildings and they’ve had a positive impact in preventing and dealing with any trouble and making your communities safer.
While the cameras have been installed at all sites, we're still experiencing connection issues at some sites which is affecting live monitoring. We hope this will be resolved very soon.
