Episode 149 - Heritage crime watch: how we’re protecting our historic treasures

Ten years after the Alliance to Reduce Crime against Heritage (ARCH) was established, we’re joined in the studio by Historic England’s Head of Heritage Crime Strategy, Mark Harrison, to learn about the different kinds of heritage crime, its impact on our historic sites and what is being done to tackle it. Plus, we speak to Property Curator Winn Scutt to reveal what has been happening at English Heritage to stop illegal metal detecting and catch criminals in the act.
