CCTV operators in Grantham and Stamford have been praised for helping to track down three groups of alleged shoplifters in South Kesteven.
South Kesteven District Council operates the CCTV control room, and the staff first identified two men acting suspicious near Boots in Grantham, which allowed for police to attend the scene.
Boots reported to the CCTV monitoring team that some suspects had left the shop, allowing for the staff to review footage and alert all nearby shops with a description via the Shoplink radio service for local businesses.
