Patrols to combat retail theft in Stratford Town Centre and the Maybird Centre

As well as our routine patrols two dedicated operations were organised which included the Safer Neighbourhood Team and officers from other team including the Retail Crime Team. Patrols conducted both by plain clothes and uniformed officers. Officers engaged with retail staff providing crime prevention advice and information bout the Warwickshire Retail Crime Initiative. During one of the operations a person was dealt with for theft at the Maybrid Centre. Officers have also been working closely with the StratfordBid Wardens who have also provided a high visibility presence in both locations helping to detect and prevent crime, this has resulted in a positive reduction in relation to retail theft in the town.
