It’s not surprising the police attitude to low level crime as priority of resources is what we are now dealing with here. I feel deterrent is the only weapon left to deal with this kind of theft. I am not surprised that the figures are climbing as benefit cut and reduction in staff due to minimum wage etc. has allowed shoplifters to get away with it. Shoplifters are fully aware of all this and are taking advantage of it. Cutting staff may not be as attractive as it once looked in dealing with increased operating costs especially at busy periods when shoplifting is at its highest.
