Key points include:

• Retail crime is unacceptable and has a significant impact on our shops, retail workers and town centres
• Behind the statistics there are real consequences for people who use or work in these shops
• Progress is being made and the number of shop thefts being solved is rising
• Herts Police will take action whatever the value of the goods stolen; there is no ‘£200 limit’

The Commissioner is bringing retailers, police and community safety partners together to have an honest conversation about what more can be done on all sides.
