Reducing Shop crime in Acocks Green village

Taking positive action with proactive arrests & charging of known shoplifting offenders and serving of banning notices using social media to inform the community of the action taken

A number of shoplifters have been identified and charged, we have been successful in getting custodial sentences for some of our known prolific offenders. This work continues with regular patrols especially in the village where we will arrest and deal appropriately with shoplifters.
There are plans to build a case to bring back the BID to Acocks Green, however this is still a work in progress.
