A European debut
The great and the good of crime prevention
in Europe gathered in Italy in October for
the annual European Neighbourhood Watch
Association (EUNWA) conference – and
amongst a schedule packed to overflowing
with renowned scientists, police experts
and Neighbourhood Watch practitioners
was Avocet Hardware’s Clive Lloyd.
»»The Brighouse-based
business’ managing director was
invited to speak at the exclusive
event following a trip to Italy.
“Lock-snapping is a major
problem in Italy,” said Clive,
“and the very best solutions they
have on the market over there
don’t come close to providing
the level of protection our
unique TS007 3-star rated and

SS312 Sold Secure Diamond
accredited ABS and ATK locks
deliver.”
“In fact, when we made
that initial presentation last
September, we were able to snap
their very best locks in seconds.
In contrast, nobody could find a
way past ABS.”
EUNWA is a major European
initiative in the area of safe

living and crime prevention,
and is currently supported by
25 European neighbourhood
watch and crime prevention
organisations from 19 different
countries.
Karl Brunnbauer, founder
and president of EUNWA,
said: “Citizens across Europe
are increasingly worried about
becoming victims of burglary

and property crime. At the same
time, organised crime does not
respect national borders and
criminal methods are quickly
transferred from one country to
another.
