Keeping watch over charity shops this Christmas

A radio scheme that gives charity shop workers a direct line to the police is launching in Matlock in time for Christmas.

Charity Watch works in a similar way to the town’s already established ShopWatch, with retailers contacting each other and police over the airwaves to report suspicious activity or crimes.

To find out more about the scheme, call Matlock Safer Neighbourhood Team on 101.
