Call for Increased Security as More Than 100 Businesses in Hull Alone Are Targeted

Posted: Wednesday, February 24, 2016 at 9:58 AM CST

Telford, England -- (SBWire) -- 02/24/2016 --It is expected that more businesses will be making moves to strengthen their physical security systems, following an intense period of burglaries affecting a number of companies in the North with Hull seeing particularly high levels. In this city there have been 78 commercial thefts since December 1st 2016, with another 13 attempted. It is thought that many of the businesses affected by theft were particularly targeted because thieves were looking for or knew there was cash on the premises. This has big implications then for businesses across the UK; with a need to consider cash on the premises. In response to this, the best businesses will likely be taking measures to secure their on-site monetary assets through opting for cash safes.

The combination of increased thefts with an interest in cash and poor internal security systems has meant that many businesses have lost profit as a result. In turn, police are urging businesses not only to opt for external methods of security such as CCTV, but also internal systems such as cash safes. This is an important measure for people across the country to take, not just in the North. A prime provider of heavy duty safes, used in a variety of retail environments, is SMP Security. A spokesperson had this to say:

"The increase in businesses being affected by cash thefts in particular means that companies really need to ensure that if they are keeping money on premises, as it may be necessary to, that it is contained in the most secure way. That is why at SMP we offer an extensive range of cash safes. These include bespoke and underfloor options so you can make the most relevant business choice."
