Police in Hart have a new tool in their fight against crime with the introduction of head cams.

Any footage recorded by the cameras may be used in court as evidence against an offender.

The cameras will be used by Safer Neighbourhoods teams and response officers throughout the district.

Sergeant Carl Holmes, from Yateley police station, said: "The cameras will be used to obtain best evidence of criminal activity, where previously it may have been difficult.

"This is a valuable tool that will assist with prosecutions and also enable officers to show incidents to parents of young people if they are returned home by the police.

"We also hope using this equipment will make people think twice about committing a crime as we now have more facilities in place to record the incident."
