This question was answered on 20th March 2017
The Government recognises the impact that all forms of retail crime, including shoplifting has on its victims. We encourage all retailers to continue to report these crimes to the police.
We are working closely with the police and the retail sector through the National Retail Crime Steering Group to understand better the crime issues that affect the sector and how we can best work together to prevent and respond to these crimes.
