Prolific Shoplifter Arrested by Ealing Broadway SNT in Perivale

Two PCSOs from the Ealing Broadway Safer Neighbourhoods team (SNT) stopped at a motorway service station to refuel on their way back from Northolt. 

As they arrived, they were informed by staff that a wanted shoplifter had just left the shop with a large laundry bag full of stolen beers.  After a short foot chase, the shoplifter was detained by the PCSOs. 

Within minutes of hearing the call on the radio fellow police officers from the Ealing Broadway SNT arrived and the habitual shoplifter was immediately arrested and taken into custody. 

The shoplifter had been repeatedly targeting this service station with the intention of selling the stolen alcohol to shops and restaurants.
