A new network of radios aims to crack down on thieves operating in Wakefield.
The Shopwatch initiative sees retailers given radios linking them with each other and the police, allowing them to share information quickly when thieves are seen committing crimes in the city.
It also allows police to pass information to shop security staff about potential suspects and links them all to Wakefield Council's CCTV network.
