Acting Inspector Rich Jones said:

‘It was a fantastic day of action and the results reflected that. A particular highlight is a burglary that was reported at a local supermarket, leading to a proactive arrest within two hours. By pooling all of our expertise together, we were able to increase our understanding of issues facing businesses, while targeting offenders and those responsible for antisocial behaviour. While it may seem obvious, the police can only respond to crimes and incidents that are reported to us; if we don’t know about something, we cannot act. We hope proactive events such as this will build public confidence among the business community and increase reporting of issues to allow us to take the necessary action against perpetrators.”
