Latest crime busting measures.

One.

Big Brother is watching you.

Pete was waiting for a train when he heard a voice.

It said, would the young man in the white t-shirt please pick up the litter he's just dropped.

Pete looked around. There was no one there.

But then he realized that someone was watching him on CCTV and the voice was coming from a loudspeaker.

CCTV cameras are common, but now they are really coming to life.

There's no escape. Big Brother is watching you.

Two.

Towns says Buzz off to antisocial youth.

Did you know there are sounds that young people can hear, but adults can't?

That's the technology behind a new machine called The Mosquito.

It emits a high frequency sound like an insect buzz.

After a couple of minutes, it becomes very annoying for people under twenty-five.

Some shopkeepers are using The Mosquito to prevent antisocial behavior.

Jim Shaw, a shopkeeper in Swindon, says, youths were always meeting outside my shop.

But when we turned on The Mosquito, they left. Now we feel much safer.

Three.

The Bobbies are back on their bikes.

Police officers in some Derbyshire towns are changing their vehicles for bikes.

They found that while they were working in their cars, they couldn't get to places like parks, housing estates, and pedestrian areas.

PC Bill Thorpe says, with our bikes, we can go to the places where young people meet.

That's great because we can talk to them and get to know them more.

However, after a week, PC Thorpe had a problem.

Someone stole his bicycle while he was chatting to some young people in the park.
