Multiples unite against rising crime

Report by Jane Archer

THE big four multiples are working together to find ways to tighten security after some £7,000 in sterling and foreign currency was stolen from a Travel Choice branch in Sevenoaks, Kent, last month.

Travel Choice managing director Gerry Reilly said his company, Going Places, Lunn Poly and Thomas Cook are discussing the problem of rising crime.

“We are working closely with the police, other multiple travel agencies and the local authorities to combat this activity,” he said.

The Sevenoaks robbery was the third attack on a Travel Choice branch in recent weeks.
