Asked about security at the stadium, Broadwood’s general manager Graeme Atkinson said: “The incidents last year were in a different part of the stadium, and we improved security with pass cards and re-suited locks for that area. I’m glad to say we’ve had no further such incidents. This current incident was the first of its kind since we opened at Broadwood, and the first time we have had a locker broken into since we opened in January 2010. We’ve had approximately 3.75 million visits in that time. We have CCTV in the Leisure Centre and we are working with the police to gather any usable evidence from the system. We are also in the middle of upgrading all of our CCTV systems across the campus to further improve security.”
