Intruders Apprehended Thanks To Live CCTV Monitoring
Smart Surveillance in Action: Live CCTV Monitoring Delivers Swift Results
Modern security is no longer just about deterrents — it’s about real-time detection and response. This case from Leigh, Lancashire, shows how Corps Monitoring’s live CCTV monitoring led directly to the apprehension of two intruders during the early hours of the morning. With trained operators ready to act, security monitoring transformed a potential loss into a successful intervention.
When surveillance is both intelligent and immediate, outcomes like this become the standard — not the exception.
Incident Overview: Two Intruders Detected and Arrested After Real-Time Alert
At 1:35am, a motion alert was triggered by sensor-activated CCTV monitoring at a wholesale retailer site. Operators at the Corps Monitoring Centre reviewed the live footage and confirmed two unauthorised individuals on the premises.
An immediate voice challenge was issued via the site’s speaker system, warning the intruders they were being recorded and that police had been called. The suspects attempted to flee but were soon located and arrested by attending officers, thanks to detailed descriptions and location data provided by Corps’ team.

Quick Escalation: With accurate information shared, police could respond effectively and make arrests on site.
Deterrence in Action: The audio warning stopped the situation escalating and minimised risk to property and people.
