The Metropolitan Police have teamed up with key store chains to start a coordinated crackdown against shoplifting and theft in the city. The move comes after a notable rise in theft incidents throughout the area.
Meanwhile, detectives applied forensic DNA to trace relatives of a alleged double rapist in current investigations. In a separate matter, a woman was awarded a Met payout following an officer-related case she reported. Additionally, fresh historical sex offence charges were filed against Gary Glitter linked to a juvenile victim.
