Scarborough Anti Theft Group are pleased to inform residents and visitors to the Scarborough area that they have been re-accredited with the newly named 'Safer Business Award' which replaced the 'Safer Shopping Award' that they received in 2002. At this time they are the first and only town in North Yorkshire to be re-accredited.
Action Against Business Crime, who represents the Home Office, awarded the Anti Theft group with the new plaque and certificate and congratulated them for achieving the standard required. It showed that partnership working with the local police, the Borough council, Town Centre management and other important business agencies was working well to prevent and reduce all aspects of business crime and also very importantly, reduce the fear of crime.
The information sharing between group members, the use of the radio link, together with the excellent support of CCTV have all been key factors in achieving this high standard.
The group would like to thank everyone involved in helping to gain this prestigious accreditation.
