🚨Prolific Shoplifter Arrested After High Street Foot Chase

Dear Regents Park residents,

A Prolific shoplifter who has repeatedly targeted local businesses has been arrested and charged following swift action by officers from Regents Park Safer Neighbourhood Team.

While on patrol, an officer witnessed the offender actively stealing from a High  Street store. When challenged, the suspect ran down St John Wood High Street in an attempt to escape. The officer immediately gave chase on foot and successfully detained the individual a couple of streets away.

The suspect has now been charged, and we are applying for a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) to place further restrictions on their behaviour and help protect local shops from continuing offending.

We remain committed to supporting businesses, tackling repeat offenders, and keeping our community safe. If you have any concerns or information, please speak to us on patrol or contact us via 101 but for emergency please call 999
