A video and summary of this session is available here.

Previous webinars have discussed the new (and many) opportunities that Covid-19 has created for criminals. In this webinar we hear from two former criminals about their take. Tony is a former armed robber, burglar, and shop thief (amongst others things) and Andy was a prolific burglar with a specialism in ‘smash and grab’ offences (amongst others things). They describe crime as ‘easy’. In this webinar you can hear them talk about how they have confronted different security measures in the past and how they think others will in the future. You will find their views striking; and they are ready to answer your questions. In this webinar we will discuss:

What are offenders saying are the easy opportunities post Covid-19?
How Tony and Andy have overcome security measures in the past (as you will see it is sometimes startling)
What are the lessons for private security, what will scare offenders?

Panellists:
Tony and Andy (Ex-Offenders)
