CCTV camera films vandals as they chop it down

Vandals who chopped down a CCTV camera pole were filmed carrying out the attack by the camera itself.



The spy camera was put up after a long campaign by neighbours on the Valley Estate in Swinton, Manchester. It was so successful in cutting crime that, just four weeks later, two vandals decided to cut it down with an angle-grinder.

The attack was captured by the camera on the top of the pole – and police are now hunting the culprits.

The camera was damaged during a sunny afternoon but so far no one has come forward with information.
