Shoplifting/Theft and ASB at Retail Premises

Targeting known offenders and repeat victims. The lists are refreshed on a regular basis so we tackle the right people. Repeat locations offered crime prevention advice. Local neighbourhood officers take responsibility for targeting repeat offenders and repeat victims adopting a problem-solving approach to the issue. A Shopwatch scheme has been set up in Newbottle providing retailers with information sharing on perpetrators and a direct radio link to neighbourhood officers, allowing swift response and apprehension of offenders. Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) are sought for prolific repeat offenders to provide a longer term deterrent.
