The SmartWater project uses chemically-enhanced DNA water to help safeguard property and spray thieves and burglars with an indelible solution. Telford-based company SmartWater Technology has developed an innovative chemical coding system which when applied to an item of property, gives a unique DNA-type reading. It can also provide police with evidence of any given offender's involvement in a particular crime. The innovative system is activated when a burglar breaks into a premises or a car. They are showered in the water-based solution that is extremely difficult to wash off and enables later identification using ultra-violet light. The solution contains a unique 'forensic fingerprint', glows green under UV light, and samples can be sent to a forensic laboratory for analysis. It can pinpoint the exact house or vehicle the suspect has broken into and the evidence is permitted in court.
