In today’s blog we will analyse in detail a theft filmed by surveillance cameras and recently released in a Police video. We watch a gang of thieves who steal from stores; the target of the gang is a very normal shoe shop.

Today, on the other hand, we will talk about how to best protect automatic up-and-over doors. Continue reading
