FREEBIES - Burglary Prevention

Alert message sent 06/02/2022 13:14:00

Information sent on behalf of Cheshire Constabulary

Good afternoon

Some of you may have already received a SelectaDNA kit from us so please feel free to stop reading now :)

As for the rest of you a unique crime-fighting tool that helps protect homes from burglaries is being rolled out in Cheshire.

The SelectaDNA forensic coding solution is placed inside the home on items such as jewellery, laptops and TVs.

Cheshire Constabulary has invested more than Â£170,000 into the kits that will be made available to residents and fitted into their homes.

The kits will also act as a deterrent to burglars due to their invisibility when marking skin and clothing once the item is touched.

When the burglar is caught officers will use specialist lighting to identify if the offender has been marked by the colourless liquid.

The liquid comes with a DNA code that can link to a specific crime that has been reported.

The code can also be used to identify where property has been stolen from meaning items can be returned to their owners.

All you need to do to receive a kit is email me Gareth.Harding@cheshire.police.uk with the following your:

Full Name
Address
Email Address

The kit's come with a very simple to use "How To Guide" - Even I can do it!! :)

Kind Regards

Gareth
