Myerscough College have teamed up with Lancashire Police to launch a ground-breaking new rural crime prevention tactic.

Accessed via a smartphone, users are immersed in and able to interact with the 3D world. It is designed to educate users about the points on their farm which are vulnerable to organise d crime gangs and offers advice on how to protect their equipment and property.
