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.
