From the Facebook page of Warminster Police:
Over recent months, we have seen an increase in reports of shoplifting offences, bilking (making off without payment) and youth related anti-social behaviour. This mirrors a national trend of rising retail crime and assaults on staff.
The Police Inspector for Warminster Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) has prioritised the reduction of retail theft. Her aim is to increase police presence and prosecute those who are offending.
Today, additional high visibility patrols were conducted to combat retail crime under Operation Dasher. These have included plain clothes officers and mobile patrols to deter and detect crime.
Officers from the Warminster NPT and Response conducted foot/ mobile patrols in the following locations:
• Warminster Town Centre
• Westbury Town Centre
• Tisbury Town Centre
• Mere Town Centre
Warminster NPT continues to work towards promoting safer public spaces for our community.
