Are you a landlord or letting agent in Sheffield? You could help tackle criminals in the city by offering your empty rental properties to the police.
If you’re suffering from a spell of void homes, you could work with the police to catch out thieves.
South Yorkshire Police is looking for landlords and agents to take part in a scheme that will utilise empty properties as stings to combat burglars in Sheffield.
Police say they would use the homes as traps for would-be criminals. They would only require part of the ground floor of the property, meaning minimal disruption for landlords and agents.
In some cases, the police say they could offer a lay rent for the period that they use the house.
