Security Upgraded As Teenagers ‘Risk Their Lives’ In Derelict Buildings
Written by HFM News on 30th July 2021
Police say teenagers are risking their lives by getting into derelict buildings on the former Lawrence’s factory site in the centre of Desborough.
Security has recently been upgraded including CCTV being installed in a bid to deal with the issue – officers say the buildings are death traps with constant risk of collapse and don’t want to be dealing with a tragedy over the summer.
Two fires have also been started deliberately on the site in recent months.
Posting on Twitter, officers said: “We have some dangerous, abandoned buildings in the centre of Desborough that seem to be a magnet for teenagers, general ASB and criminal damage.
“Security has recently been upgraded, and CCTV installed, however, there are some still risking their lives.
“If you see anyone entering these premises, please call it in.
“It cannot be stated too plainly, these buildings are death traps with constant risk of collapse. Let’s not have a tragedy in Desborough this summer.”
