It’s terrorising retail staff and costing millions of pounds a month.
And, say police, foreign organised crime gangs are travelling here to go on shoplifting sprees because they see the UK as a soft target.
Just 14% of shoplifting offences in England and Wales result in any kind of charges.
So retailers are being forced to take matters into their own hands.
We’ve been to watch the companies and private security trying to shut down the criminal gangs.

There is no shortage of police when any political rally takes place, that the government disagrees with. Clear out a shop no police turned up, write something on the internet that has anything to do with these new phobias and you will half the station turn up at your door. Someone make it make sense please.

Soft Target, everything about our country is soft on criminals, illegal immigrants, benefit cheats, Islamic terrorists, grooming gangs, the list is endless……..VOTE REFORM…❤🏴🇬🇧
All supermarkets will close within the next 10 years and we will have to shop online for our food.
VOTE REFORM
Where is police?? They need hear security guards 😅
take their luggage before they get on the plane
If I was coop I would just shut up shop . they did the same in America.they have supermarket deserts
This is what the government wants otherwise it would be stopped.
This is happening in the U.S. they don't care because Western prison is better than the place they come from.
We'll just have to do online shopping 🛍️ but I wouldn't hold my breath.
She's talking about yobs and smack heads ransacking retail stores and he's turning away from the subject and talking about eastern european bank card fraudsters. This is delt with at the local police level they need to respond to shoplifting incident and more people need to be prosecuted.
fly from another country to endup in leeds???
This is what happens when you have 14 years of the Conservatives in power and Theresa May former home secretary and Useless Prime Minister that lead the deep cuts of the British Police service. I saw it first hand when I was serving in a Force and I can tell you the Force was breaking and literally becoming the Thin Blue Line and years since I left the Service its only got much worse! Goodriance to the Conservatives after the Election this country is literally sinking faster than the Titanic and god knows if Labour or anyone else can re-float this country anytime soon!
Lower your fucking price u greedy chops coops😅
security guard?
Looks like to me that the Tories are trying to privatise the police now also. By cutting numbers and causing the police not to turn up, it is resulting in companies paying third party companies like mitre to police the stores.
I think i want to travel to UK just for shop-lifting
Unbelievable! Shop lifting tourism!!!!! 430,000 shop lifting crimes in one year!!!! GB has become a criminal gang paradise!!!!
SHOULD not have a WOKE LEFTY POLICE FORCE WHO JUST GIVE THEM A SLAP ON THE WRIST ??? JUST LIKE CHANNEL 4 BEING UP THE DINGHY DIVERS BUMS ???? VOTE REFORM STOP THE BOATS
Anyone notice anything about their race?
All these guys look a bit tanned.
…and where are Police and mouthy Starmer right there on all that robbery and violence? – Back in 2019 the UK band The Specials put out this song which addressed those gangs, violence, robbery and stabbings. Today if it was released it would be deemed 'inappropriate' because it points at hoodies, black gangs and what they are like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JZYgW0Hgc4
They can get someone in a day after being a ‘far right demonstrator’, but a prolific confrontational shoplifter? No, here’s your case number…
But the police are far too busy arresting grannies who have the audacity to have an opinion to do anything about the shoplifting gangs. Of course immigration has nothing to do with anything 😢
No black people no thefts. Problem solved
Thanks to the uk , most of western europe, the us, canada and many of the western world in showing and proving our policies were the correct course of action despite being labelled and branded as "racist and xenophobic" by your media. Cheers from Japan.
