shoplift

Tired of rampant shoplifting scaring away citizens and shoppers, Long Beach is trying to force stores to add staff and reduce dependence on self-checkout.

If elected, Sliwa said he would hire 7,000 more police officers and do more to end building package theft and drugstore shoplifting.

The home secretary will launch a "winter of action" scheme in a bid to tackle shoplifting.

"Clients have said to us that we're lifesavers and without us people have admitted they would be forced to shoplift just to survive," Mr Lucas said.

Instead of defunding the police, he’s hiring more officers and cracking down on shoplifting and drug crimes.
