Estover-based Securi-Guard heard how mobile breast screening units equipped with specialist X-Ray equipment was being targeted by vandals. Two trailers based in Liskeard and Plymouth city centre have now been fitted with hi-tech alarms and GPS tracking devices. In the event of theft or break-in, the GPS device sends a message to a central control room and its location is pinpointed.
Said Pete Stanley, secure operating centre manager: “When we heard how vandals had caused the units to be taken off the road after creating GB pound 1,000 worth of damage we wanted to help out and give something back to the community. We contacted a company we work in partnership with, called Aeromark, based in Bedford, and they agreed to install the GPS devices free charge”.
