The UK Labour Party has announced a plan to address the rising issue of shoplifting, which has seen an increase of 30% in the last year, with over 1,000 offences occurring daily. Labour intends to scrap the Tories' 'shoplifter’s charter', which discourages police from investigating thefts under £200. In response, Labour, supported by the Co-operative Party, proposes a 'Community Policing Guarantee' to deploy an additional 13,000 neighbourhood police officers and PCSOs to enhance safety and security on high streets and local communities. This initiative is part of a broader effort to make Britain's streets safer and rebuild community trust.
Under the Tories too many communities and high streets are being blighted by staggering increases in shoplifting, up 30 per cent in the last year alone. Labour will put 13,000 neighbourhood officers and PCSOs back on the beat in our communities👇🏻 https://t.co/tDS8XljIml
