Every theft, regardless of the value of the goods, will be treated as the serious crime it is.

Respect Orders will ban perpetrators from the places they blight, force them to confront the causes of their behaviour and make breaching one a criminal offence with serious consequences, including prison.

Shop theft has fallen once again - and is 4% down on last year. These figures show our approach is working. But we will not stop here.
