Shoplifting - Windsor Road

PCSO’s have reduced the time it takes for CCTV to be obtained for Officers to be able to ID the offenders. PCSO’s have been working along side MRS Communications to set up a new scheme called shopnet. This scheme links all the Penarth business including the Police to a radio system to communicate between one another to tackle shoplifting. We will carry on with regular meetings with the local shops.
