A NELSON firm joined forces with police and the council to help crack crime.
Lomeshaye estate-based Filmcast Extrusions put in special lighting, fencing and security measures to beat the burglar at its modern headquarters.
That resulted in the company being awarded Secured by Design status -- a national award which recognises businesses that take positive crime-reduction steps.
Chief Supt John Knowles, head of Pennine Police, visited the company to hand over the award. He said: "We are very pleased with all the effort that has gone into making Filmcast Extrusions' premises as safe and secure as possible."
Businesses and homeowners interested in finding out more about the Secured by Design initiative should contact PC Gordon Purves on 01282 472187.
