Radio Link Scheme combats crime

The heart of London business alliance has announced that, since the launch of its Radio Link Scheme 12 months ago, a total of 98 arrests have been made in central London thanks to the project. Nearly 60 businesses within the Business Improvement District zone are part of the initiative, the Alliance having provided them with radios to help in the sharing of information.
