Telford, Shropshire / UK - SmartWater Technologies Ltd. has launched a stolen metals initiative with information for scrap metal dealers and recyclers. And offers SmartWater, a forensic liquid openreach cable can be marked with. SmartWater is a forensic coding system which is invisible to the naked eye but fluoresces yellow under ultra-violet (UV) light. The material contains a unique forensic fingerprint and is likened to a robust, chemical version of DNA which links property to its owner and criminals to a crime scene.

The police uses SmartWater all across the UK to protect property and convict criminals. SmartWater is also widely applied by utility suppliers (telecoms, water, electricity), churches, local authorities and schools to protect metals and other valuables. It can be applied to any item of value, including all non-ferrous metals, and is widely used to protect lead roofing, telecoms and electrical cable and other metals at risk of theft.

SmartWater could be anywhere – it is widely used in Police undercover operations to convict known offenders. It has also been used to protect metals and valuables where you see SmartWater warning signs. Police forces throughout the UK are trained to look for SmartWater. Scrap metal dealers and metal recyclers are also working with the police and are scanning metals brought onto their premises with UV equipment.

SmartWater offers - in its own words - tailor made risk management and crime reduction strategies to combat metal theft, incorporating forensic security systems, police-led stop and searches, covert operations and high awareness media campaigns.
