Sergeant Aaron Bawden, South Croydon Safer Neighbourhood Team, said:

“Shoplifting may seem like a low‑level offence, but it has a real impact on local businesses, staff, and the wider community. These convictions demonstrate that we take such behaviour seriously and will continue to work closely with retailers to identify offenders and bring them before the courts. We remain committed to tackling persistent anti‑social behaviour and ensuring South Croydon remains a safe place to live and work.”
