Police have praised the developers of a new hotel near Exeter for incorporating crime prevention measures into its design.
The developers of the Hampton by Hilton hotel, at Exeter airport, worked with architectural liaison officers from Devon and Cornwall police.
As a result, the hotel is designed to make life as difficult as possible for criminals, through its general layout, lighting, CCTV coverage and doors and windows.
The hotel manager will receive a Secured by Design award from the police later - it's the first large commercial enterprise to earn the award in the force area.
