CAMERAS are to be installed in a number of Redditch police cars to video criminals in the act.

Footage will also be used as an educational tool for drivers committing minor motoring offences.

Police response vehicles will be fitted with cameras which record all the time.

The move comes alongside the recent launch of a state-of-the-art CCTV van which was used to patrol the streets of the town centre at the weekend in an attempt to prevent disorder.
