24 September 2003

Attacks on cash-in-transit vehicles in Manchester have now been significantly reduced thanks to the Hawk-eye team.

Greater Manchester Police, the CIT industry and a local private security company had joined forces as part of a crime reduction initiative to tackle the problem of attacks on CIT vehicles – prevalent in the region.

Delegates at IBP International’s recent Robbery Symposium heard how Operation Hawk-eye has saved the industry around £1.4 million since it was launched 11 months ago.

Hawk-eye, the brainchild of Steve Clements, Security Operations Manager with the Post Office, involves surveillance teams keeping a close eye on CIT routes and spotting any suspicious activity. As a result of the initiative a number of attacks have been intercepted and arrests made.
