Super Security Guard Saves Tesco £5,000: Bristol News Update 2013
Hiring a security guard in Bristol is a good way to protect your business from criminals, thieves, shoplifters, violent customers, antisocial behaviour and more… but all of this behaviour is actually the kind of behaviour you’d normally expect from residents. Not from your own staff.
But did you know, that hiring a security guard for your Bristol business can even protect you from within your own ranks? The following story backs this up.
Tesco Staff Member Caught by Security Guard, Bristol
Tesco is a big chain, and as such, you know that they are going to hire a professional security guard. Bristol store in Eastgate is no exception – and the story below shows just what hiring a professional security guard for your Bristol business can help you prevent.
According to thisisbristol.co.uk in a report published on March 4th 2013, a senior member of staff at the Eastgate Tesco superstore was recently caught pocketing stacks of cash from the counting room!
It went on for an entire month, with more than £5,000 being stolen in total… until staff got suspicious and raised the alarm.
But the wonderful thing about this story is that it was the security guards working at the store that caught her in the act and reported her to the local police force!
After pleading guilty, she was ordered to return the money and carry out unpaid community service.
But Tesco is a big business… what about the smaller guys?
This is a lesson that highlights just how important hiring a Bristol security guard for your business is.
You see, if the security guard hadn’t caught this lady, the business would still probably be £5,000 poorer right now as we speak… and when you consider all the other instances of crime such as shoplifting and violence that a security guard in Bristol can help to prevent at your business, the cost of actually hiring one begins to look pretty small.
Of course, we all want to trust the members of staff we hire… and we all hope that the people visiting our premises will be honest, paying customers. But unfortunately it’s not always the case, and it just goes to prove that having an on-site security guard at your Bristol business can be a real life saver in times of trouble.
Remember, the cost of crime outweighs the cost of security – act now to save yourself a fortune!
