CLOSED-CIRCUIT television (CCTV) in Guisborough is producing positive results.
Sergeant Richard Schofield, from Guisborough Police, told a meeting of Guisborough Town Council that operating staff in Eston were still "finding their feet" with the equipment, but that the benefits were starting to be seen.
The main problems in the town are anti-social behaviour, drunkeness and criminal damage. Sgt Schofield said that recent damage caused to the railings outside Sunnyfield House, in Westgate, was being investigated with help from the CCTV footage.
"We haven't yet identified who caused it and when it was committed, but inquiries are ongoing into that offence.
"A car that was stolen from the library area was caught on the cameras being driven from the car park and that has helped us, but it is early days," he said
