PC Kim Roberts, of Blackpool Police, said: “Shoplifting isn’t a victimless crime. It harms local businesses, affects staff, and impacts the wider community.

“We’re committed to taking a firm, consistent approach to retail crime through Operation Vulture, and we’ll continue working closely with our partners and local stores to identify offenders and keep our county safe.”

Operation Vulture, backed by Lancashire’s Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw, targets retail crime with dedicated hotspot patrolling and strong partnerships with retailers to share intelligence and catch offenders.
