BUSINESSES will be able to share information about low-level crime thanks to a scheme being piloted in Malvern.

Facewatch will be launched tonight (Tuesday) at Clarence Park Village, Worcester Road, Malvern, between 6pm and 8pm.

It aims to provide a secure online portal enabling police, businesses and communities to work together towards reducing crime.

Images of offenders will be share within the group and people will be able to submit digital evidence files to the police to help solve crimes.

Anyone wishing to attend should contact organiser PCSO Lisa Freeman via email at lisa.freeman@westmercia.pnn.police.uk.
