Local Priorities

Theft from shop in the Houghton Regis area.

Issued: 16 Jan 2026

Status Update

Shoplifting has been identified as a key priority in the Houghton Regis area following an increase in reports over the past three months. In response, we will be working closely with those affected to help reduce incidents and increase confidence within the community.
Daily high-visibility patrols will be carried out in hotspot locations to deter offenders and provide reassurance to local businesses. Officers will liaise with shop staff to ensure their radios are fully operational so that communication between retailers and police remains effective and immediate.
We will also make local shopkeepers aware of individuals who are known to be involved in shoplifting, helping them to better safeguard their premises. In addition to overt patrols, there is potential for plain‑clothes operations to take place where appropriate to identify and target prolific offenders.
We are aware of youths that have been recording TIKTOK videos and causing a disruption within the area- we are in the process of identifying these youths and they will be dealt with robustly.
