Require police to attend every retail shop theft

Petition Details

The Government should require the police to attend every reported shop theft. Retailers feel unprotected and there has been a massive growth in offences.

Additional Information

In 2014, shop theft of goods below £200 was made a summary offence.

I am a retailer based in Cambridge. I have been campaigning on this subject for many years. I believe that the crime of shop theft has become regarded by the public as a lesser form of crime. Recently various factors have conspired to see a large growth in the number of incidents. If this situation is allowed to continue and to escalate I believe it will become the norm and be impossible tide to turn back. The government must act now before it is too late.
