Police asks ANPR cameras in Merchtem to cover the entire zone: "Leak in our camera shield"

The AMOW police are requesting the installation of ANPR cameras in Merchtem to enhance security and crime detection. Currently, Merchtem lacks these cameras, while neighboring areas have several. Police Chief Kurt Tirez emphasized the effectiveness of these cameras in quickly identifying suspects. Mayor Maarten Mast supports the initiative, noting that the municipality has long desired ANPR cameras but faced previous delays due to technical issues. With an updated network now available, the municipality is ready to move forward with the installation of four cameras to improve safety in the area.
