A BREAKFAST club with a difference is launched today to tackle business-related crime.
Police, council and staff from local businesses will meet in an effort to share information, increase awareness and reduce incidents of crime.
The breakfast club involves members of the area's Business Watch scheme which was launched last summer and has already got more than 100 members.
Inspector Claire Holbrook, of Blackburn police, said: "The Business Watch scheme allows the police and council to work alongside local businesses and helps us to increase awareness of particular crimes and help businesses to avoid falling victim to crime.
"The scheme looks at many aspects of crime and suspicious activities and aims to improve communication and deter and prevent crime."
The first breakfast club take places at the The Range, Greenbank Industrial Estate, Blackburn, this morning.
