Shop Theft

Agreed on 8 January 2025. Updated on 8 January 2025

In recent months police have seen a sharp increase in shop thefts throughout Hartcliffe, Withywood and Bishopsworth.

This affects not only business owners and shop staff but the community who may experience an increase in the prices of products to make up for the loss of store profits.

Neighbourhood policing teams are now focussing attention on the areas most affected and being proactive in dealing with these offences.

We welcome any information about where stolen items are being sold and are keen to identify offenders and anyone who is promoting this type of crime.

Please report using our 101 or online services.
