First offender caught by new CCTV cameras

A TEENAGER who was prosecuted for vandalising a phone box is the first to be caught by new CCTV cameras in Smallbridge.....

Ward Councillor Jean Ashworth says there is a big fear of crime in the area, with nearly all the shops having to install electronic shutters.

She said: “I have always supported the CCTV, we only had one complaint about it, which was from a woman saying it was looking into her bedroom, but you’ll always have those complaints.”

.............…but of course we simply ignore them –
