Retail Crime Week

Retail Crime Week

As part of Retail Crime Week, officers have today been conducting proactive patrols specifically in the Milnrow area, focusing on retail premises that have been targeted by shoplifters and repeat offenders.

These patrols provide a visible police presence, allow officers to engage with store staff, gather intelligence, identify offenders, and help deter those involved in retail crime from targeting local businesses.

Retail crime has a significant impact on businesses, their staff, and the wider community. By working closely with retailers and carrying out targeted patrols, we aim to prevent offences, support victims, and bring offenders to justice.

These proactive patrols will continue throughout the rest of the week as part of our ongoing commitment to tackling retail crime and keeping our local communities safe.
