CCTV keeping car park crime at bay

7:00am Monday 29th June 2009 in News By Steve Sowden

A SECURITY camera installed at a Crewkerne car park has had a dramatic impact on crime.

The deployable CCTV camera – which has been funded in partnership with the Market Towns Investment Group – has been at the Abbey Street Car Park in Crewkerne for a number of weeks.

Its arrival came following a number of incidents over the past year at the car park in which the vehicles had been either damaged or broken into.

And Sgt Lloyd said: “There haven’t been any offences recorded since the camera was installed in the car park.”
