## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

According to **various police officials,** as soon as a crime occurs, whether it is a theft or a murder, investigators obtain CCTV footage from nearby cameras and analyse the incident's chronology in attempt to identify and find the perpetrators. In the first instance, the police would need to request access to your home security cameras. They should provide you with reasons for requesting access, including a crime reference number. It's worth emphasising that it's not always about a crime committed on your property. \
