Breckland Council mobile surveillance project to tackle rural crime approved

A Norfolk council is introducing new surveillance cameras in remote areas of the county with “immediate effect” in an effort to tackle rural crime.

Breckland Council voted to invest in the new devices as part of a crackdown on issues like fly-tipping, graffiti and other environmental crime.

The cameras will be moved between different areas of the district, but are specifically intended to tackle issues in remote parts of the countryside.

Six will be mobile cameras – increasing the number of these in use to 10 – four will be body-worn and two will be dash cams.
