Will bells ring an end to pick pocketers?
The Avon and Somerset Police force has unveiled their latest weapon in the fight against pick pocket crime: tiny bells! The number of active thefts has been on the rise and a decision was made to try and put a stop to them once and for all, hence the idea for making people aware of thieves handling their belongings.
The small, silver bells, which cost 40p for a pair, can be attached to a purse, bag or wallet and will jingle when moved about. So, the idea is if someone were to try and discreetly remove a purse from your bag, you would hear the tinkle and become aware of the crime before it is too late.
Mendip District Council budgeted £2,000 for the scheme, allowing them to give out 5,000 pairs of bells in popular shopping areas.
