A new strategy to clamp down on retail crime has been launched by the Police and Crime Commissioner. PCC Matthew Barber revealed the new Retail Crime Strategy today (Monday) which has been developed with retailers, business groups and Thames Valley Police. It sets out actions to tackle shoplifting, retail crime and violence towards shop staff. Mr Barber said: “Many people see retail crime as a victimless crime, but it has a profound impact on retail staff, customers and the wider economy. Retail crime is not victimless, it has an emotional and financial impact on retail workers and customers.
