Lack of CCTV Coverage gets pub shut down

Can you imagine having the local Police Department close down you business for the lack of CCTV coverage..

PC Julie Stewart from the licensing department at Preston Police was due to visit the pub (The Skeffington Arms in Ribbleton Lane) yesterday and said she would re-open it if CCTV was working.
She said: "It's for public safety and their own safety to detect crime. The pub had minimal CCTV – it wasn't recording. If an incident had happened and we needed to get evidence and locate an offender, we couldn't have from there. Even the staff aren't safe in those conditions."

 Please remember this, 


CCTV is very rarely a useful deterrent and has been shown on countless occasions to be equally poor when it comes to solving crimes.
