Hot roofs

I am pleased to be able to report that Epsom & Ewell Borough Council was, for the fourth year running, able to obtain a New Year's Day slot in the Surrey Police helicopter schedule, for a hot roof survey of the Stamford, Court and Town wards.

The survey took place between 0300 and 0400 this morning, involving 7 passes of the area and detecting 47 hot roofs, that is to say roof spaces containing arc-lighted cannabis nurseries. The helicopter was able to lower ultra-sound snooping devices down the chimneys of 38 of them and I understand that all these devices are now successfully reporting back to base on a regular basis.

Uniformed officers will be attending the other 9 roofs in due course.
