Police in Dudley have adopted a hi-tech way of catching burglars
Police in Dudley have dopted a hi-tech way to tackle the rate of burglaries in the area.
It is in anticipation of an increase in break-ins in July and August, when home-owners are away on holiday.
The solution they have organised involves positioning rigged houses around the borough, a term used as 'capture houses'.
Police have rigged numerous houses throughout the borough, with motion activated cameras positioned in each house it means burglars can be seen live by police.
