North West security vans offered armed police escort

Security vans carrying cash to shops and banks in the run-up to Christmas are being offered armed escorts. Police forces from across north west England have teamed up to crack down on cash-in-transit robberies and thefts from cash machines.

High-visibility and covert police patrols will escort the security vans as they make their deliveries. All cash containers will include either Smartwater or dye, which is released when they are opened illegally.
