Neighbourhood Officers have been busy tackling shoplifting in Slough as part of a crackdown on prolific offenders.

Officers seconded to Operation Purchase had some great results over the weekend which included the arrest of three prolific offenders. 

In addition to this, fourteen criminal charges were handed out, an offender has been given a custodial sentence and two are on remand awaiting sentence. 

The Op Purchase officers are dedicated to engaging with stores and providing them with the support they need.

If you’re a retailer who has been impacted by high volumes of thefts, please make sure you report offences via 101/999.
