Tackling Shoplifting in the City Centre
We understand the impact that shoplifting is having on businesses in the City Centre.
We are working with shops to help them report accurately and effectively, targeting our most prolific offenders.
We are conducting proactive patrols in hotspot areas, and around stores most effected by shoplifters.
We host a monthly Retailers Security Meeting alongside Bath BID. At this meeting we help stores identify regular shoplifters, and bring their attention to any new offenders and offending trends.

Bath BID have begun to issue Exclusion Notices to repeat offenders, and we continue to work with our ASB Team to issue Community Protection Warnings and Notices, and Criminal Behaviour Orders to the most prolific offenders.
