Robotic security guards threaten thieves in angry Northern Irish accent

Tesco has introduced robotic security guards, known as PID360 devices, to combat rising thefts in stores across Manchester, Bristol, and Newcastle. The devices, which emit a loud warning siren and a menacing message in a Northern Irish accent, are designed to deter intruders effectively. According to a Tesco spokesman, the units are used outside of opening hours to prevent burglaries. Emmeline Taylor, a criminology professor, noted that “retailers are investing in a range of technologies to not only deter criminals but also increase the chances of them being identified after the offence.”
