Crimestoppers
Fearless - Our Youth Service
Campaign launched to ensure businesses can open in the future but stay #ClosedtoCrime
With the lockdown slowly easing whilst the pandemic is still active, Crimestoppers is using the opportunity to connect with communities and companies by appealing for people to report anonymously what they know about crime against commercial outlets.
As local shops and businesses try to cope with the devastating financial impact of the pandemic, the last costly disruption they need is having premises ransacked, with essential items or equipment damaged or stolen. It’s not just burglary that affects businesses. Fly-tipping and arson can seriously impact a company’s ability to reopen. For some, it could be the final straw.
Our #ClosedtoCrime campaign is asking people to report what they know about crime against local businesses, from shops to company premises, factories to warehouses. They play a crucial role in the fabric of society – indeed, many staff in these businesses are now classed as key workers providing essential services.
Information received by Crimestoppers has helped stop planned break-ins, made communities safer and brought people to justice. Our charity is asking for information about the following:
If you have information, please contact us 100% anonymously. You can call our 24/7 UK Contact Centre on Freephone 0800 555 111 or fill in our online form, here on our website.

Local businesses play an essential role in providing services and employment to the local and wider community. But as shops, warehouses and factories are closed or struggling to return to normal with reduced opening hours due to the pandemic, criminals are exploiting the crisis by breaking in to commercial premises.
Arson attacks and fly-tipping are also incredibly harmful as the company has to incur significant costs. This could affect their future stability even further.
You can help keep shops and local industry open for business but #ClosedtoCrime. Please keep your eyes and ears open, and if you see or hear anything, or know someone involved in commercial burglary, arson or fly-tipping, please speak up.
People’s jobs and local services depend on it. If you know something, please contact our charity and tell us what you know whilst staying 100% anonymous. Always.
