Crooks will soon find themselves caught on camera when new CCTV cameras are added to the crime-fighting weaponry in a village street.
Two spy cameras are to be installed in Ingatestone High Street in a bid to stem a massive crimewave.
Residents no longer sleep easy as crime in the parish has rocketed by 50 per cent since the police station closed two years ago.
The addition to the armoury will cost in the region of £35,000. Essex Police are to contribute £25,000 towards the scheme with Ingatestone and Fryerning Parish Council providing an additional £7,500.
Businesses are also be asked to give financial backing to the cameras project.
