1. Reducing the impact of metal theft across Northumberland County Council’s
property portfolio.
Protecting void & vulnerable property with a synthetic DNA solution against metal & asset
theft has seen a significant saving in repair & replacement costs from buildings across the
county. Schools, Libraries, former Council Offices & Plant have been coded to protect
against future attacks. These resiliant measures will continue to have a positive impact
against crime across Northumberland County Council’s properties.
Martin Hay (Northumberland CC - Property Services Manager) said:
“Following the theft of large areas of lead roofing from strategic Council offices, which
resulted in repairs bills of tens of thousands of pounds, we approached DNA Protec for a
cost effective theft deterrent solution. Since the application of SelectaDNA we have not
suffered any further thefts from any treated buildings. I unreservedly recommend DNA
Protec and the services offered by this company”.
