A security device (1) for preventing or deterring theft of an article from a retail store or similar comprising a housing (9); a cable (6) extending from the housing (9) for placement around said object; spool means (8) rotatably mounted on the housing (9), the cable (6) being attached to the spool means (8) such that, in use, rotation of the spool means (8) in a first direction with respect to the housing (9) causes the cable (6) to unwind from the spool means (8) permitting placement of the cable (6) around said object, and rotation of the spool means (8) in a second, opposite direction causes the cable (6) to be wound around the spool means (8) thereby tightening the cable (6) around said object; latching means (38) movable between a first position in which the spool means (8) is able to rotate freely in both the first and second directions, and a second position in which the spool means (8) is able to rotate in the second direction but is prevented from rotating in the first direction; and retracting means (30) arranged to apply a biasing force to the spool means (8) to urge the spool means (8) to rotate in said second direction when the latching means (38) is in the first position. |
