Businesses urged to review security after robbery

Saturday, 8 April 2017 00:00

Police are asking business owners to consider reviewing their security processes.

The reminder comes as a 26-year-old man was this week jailed for robbing a newsagent in Douglas.

26-year-old Jamie Christopher Hall was sent down for almost three years after raiding the shop in November 2015 - he made off with a safe containing £990.

Chief Constable Gary Roberts has praised the officers who worked on the case saying they displayed "great detective work".

Detective Constable Sam Cannell says it's a timely opportunity to urge businesses to consider their procedures:
