Scarborough Anti-theft Group
The main aim of the group is to help reduce and prevent criminality and anti–social behaviour within the Scarborough area. The group sees its objectives as being the prevention, detection and reducing the opportunity to commit crime and anti–social behaviour. To exclude prolific and persistent offenders from members premises and to help with the apprehension and/or prosecution of offenders.
This in turn will help reduce business crime losses for members and help create a safe and secure environment for both customers and staff. A further objective for the group is to strengthen partnerships already formed with police, local authority and other agencies and to be an integral part of the local Community Safety Strategy.
Meetings & Events
The steering group have decided to hold the security/update meetings bi-montly. The meetings are well attended and have much substance to them as well as being at a time suitable to most members. A newsletter from the police is available at these meetings which is full of good current information.
Alerts
Criminals are becoming more creative in the types of crime they are committing, to avoid detection. One such crime is the theft of someone’s identity; it sounds bizarre and like something out of a spy film, but it is happening. One way of doing this is to get details of someone’s bank account and then use this information to buy things, set up mortgages or to sell on to a third party.
