Woman nicked for 24 SHOPLIFTING OFFENCES in Bedford
A suspect has been charged with a staggering 24 shoplifting offences in and around Bedford.
The thefts occurred between April and July were worth hundreds of pounds. She will appear in court next month, according to Bedfordshire Police.
In a post on social, officers said the arrest was aided by Auror – a retail crime intelligence platform designed to link shoplifting offences and help police deal with persistent offenders.
It collates intelligence and is used by hundreds of retailers nationwide. It has now been brought to Bedfordshire and means retailers can contact officers more effectively with evidence of offending.
The platform then links incidents, building a profile of persistent offenders and building cases against them.
