So shops like this one are spending thousands of pounds a year on AI technology to try and track down thieves who are stealing.

The imperative

Future simple

So I'm going to grab this bar of chocolate here, I'll put it into my pocket and see if the cameras and the technology pick it up.

And I'm going to go and chat to Vince to see if that's happened.

I mean, that's literally about a minute after I did it.

We'd normally drop onto our phones within about 30 seconds.

It pings in our ears within about 5 seconds.

Really allows us then to be proactive in our approach.

If this had been a real life scenario, I would have gone and introduced myself to you.

It's given us control back and it allows us to get on the front foot.

It's costing us in excess of £5,000 a year.

But it's about us making a stand and saying enough is enough and this has got to stop.

Some people would be uncomfortable with the idea of AI and CCTV kind of prying on people in this way.

I say that we've got it in as much for people's safety as well.

It's not about this Big Brother, it's about actually us saying, as a community, we want to be safe, we want to live here, and

it's about us being proud of where we live.
