Two charged with shoplifting in Welwyn Garden City

Two suspected shoplifters have been charged following an incident in Woodhall, Welwyn Garden City.

On Thursday 15 October, PCSOs from the Welwyn Hatfield Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) spotted a suspected shoplifting in Boots.

A search of the area was carried out by the NPT and officers from the Response Team.

Two people were subsequently located and arrested:

PC Ashley Stewart, from the Welwyn Hatfield Response Team, said: “We know the impact that shoplifting can have on businesses, not to the mention the feeling of unsafety that customers may experience. 

“Shoplifting reports are taken seriously and we made a swift arrest, providing reassurance to the store and hopefully demonstrating a deterrent.”
