AIF action plan aims to combat festival thieves.
Task force to share intelligence on criminal gangs
By Gordon Masson
A specialised security task force is being put together to help
eliminate tent theft and other crime from festivals.
The idea is the brainchild of the Association of Independent Festivals (AIF) and punters should start benefiting from the additional security next year, when the squad is deployed at various outdoor events around the country.
As the AIF's first initiative, the security task force has already been put out to tender to firms with experience in outdoor event security and the organisation anticipates the new team will be ready by March.
AIF co-founder and Bestival promoter Rob Da Bank explains, "Tent theft at our festivals has always been very low, but any theft at all is really upsetting for the promoter and the people involved. This was one of the main reasons I wanted to set up AIF and I really believe we can make a difference with this initiative."
