Working with the Police, shop staff and owners to tackle shoplifting in St John's Wood

We caught up with Cllr Robert Rigby, who represents Regent's Park ward at Westminster City Council.

Robert explained

"I'm standing outside the Co-op store on Park Road, which unfortunately has seen a plethora of shoplifting.

"Your local councillors have been working with the store manager, the area manager of Co-op and the local Safer Neighbourhood Team to put in place a number of key measures which are beginning to show fruit and are beginning to show that shoplifting in this particular store is beginning to decline."
