Raid-control expands to protect cigarette gantries Raid-control – the national crime prevention initiative - has expanded its robbery deterrent package to include the protection of tobacco products within cigarette gantries in response to a new crime trend that retailers are experiencing. Criminals are targeting the cigarette gantries within several convenience store chains and demand that the person behind the counter hands over the cigarettes. In some cases the raiders jump the counters and sweep the cigarettes into bin bags before escaping with their haul. John Birkenshaw, Raid-control chairman, comments: "Raid-control is pleased to have been given the opportunity to help prevent these crimes. When we were approached we decided that the 'stolen cash traceable' element of our package should be widened to include the protection of cigarette gantries. In co-operation with one of our member companies, we developed the existing covert till production system that is currently used to protect cash, to provide an effective way of tackling this rising crime against cigarette gantries."
