RETAIL WEEK OF ACTION

RETAIL WEEK OF ACTION

Officers were out in Middleton shopping centre to offer crime prevention advice, reassurance to shops and businesses, and deter any shop lifting offences.

Retail crime is a major issue with shops and businesses not just locally but nationally .

A repeat in offending behaviour by shoplifters is linked to wider issues such as substance abuse and acquisitive crime.

There are growing reports of organised shop thefts, where groups target multiple stores.

Reporting incidents to the police is important whether you are a member of staff, shop owner of member of the public.

Give as much detail to the offence so we can respond appropriately as under reporting still remains a issue and impact

on our ability to respond.

As a force and our neighbourhood team we remain committed to supporting our local businesses and tackling anti social behaviour. 

On Friday 13th November I will hold a information stall with Elizabeth Hethrington Community Safety officer within Middleton shopping centre ground floor between 10.00 am and 11.00 am, please come and see us.

Please see pictures of the  BM home bargains and Iceland Team.
