Warning from Police
Just got this from Police Scotland. Not surprising though.
South Yorkshire Police reported 50 firearms stolen from a gun dealership premises which was closed due to Covid -19.
It is probable that SAOC groups and other criminals will carry out pre-planned break ins to premises, where there is less opportunity of interruption and detection during the raids as a result of lock-down.
There is no intelligence to suggest that this is would be an issue in Scotland.

Re: Warning from Police
I was at a company "town hall" meeting and one of the guys stood up and said he thought the company were using to many TLA's; the company man immediately asked, "what's a TLA?"
"Three letter Acronym" was the reply, "do you see where I'm coming from!" Great burst of laughter and he put out a worldwide memo to ask employees to resist using acronyms in general communications.
Seems like cops maybe need to adopt the same when they send out memos to the public.

Re: Warning from Police
Criminals do not seem to worry about "essential travel".....or lockdown...every empty club premises containing firearms is a sitting duck...regular visits by members to check security not apparently "essential"...so I am informed.

Re: Warning from Police
I wonder why they don't think it will happen in Scotland! Lack of Police intelligence!

Re: Warning from Police
Surely clubs which store guns/RFDs need remote alarm systems, if not remote cameras?

The one broken into and linked above almost certainly did have - how else might the police have been called at 00:50?Blackstuff wrote:Surely clubs which store guns/RFDs need remote alarm systems, if not remote cameras?
The police will only attend a "confirmed" break-in or one they are advised requires attendance in a call from a monitoring company or their own records.
