Solar-Powered CCTV Cameras Fight Rural Crime in UK

Free solar-powered CCTV cameras are rolling out to fight rural crime in the UK, handed straight-to-game keepers at special road shows.

On March 21st, the push came from a 9,873-pound grant by the Leicestershire and Rutland Police and Crime Commissioner Office, covering the cameras plus roadshow costs.

Meanwhile, folds chatted with the rural policing team for tips, building networks and isolated spots, and spotlighting game keepers' struggles, keeping crime and check long-term.
