Lights - Camera - Lock Down Crime!

These videos were created by media students from Edinburgh College, in collaboration with The Community Safety and Justice Partnership, and Police Scotland.

As part of their course work, the students learnt about different types of housebreaking crime, and ways for people to avoid the distress of these crimes happening to them.

The students then showcased their storyboards before sourcing actors and locations to capture their ideas.

With thanks to the students and staff of Edinburgh college for their work and creativity.
