The Newton Neighbourhood Policing Team is focusing on prolific shoplifters, especially those targeting Co-operative stores. These incidents have had a significant impact on businesses and the wider community, leading the team to implement a range of measures to combat them. Officers are working closely with store management and security teams to identify repeat offenders and implement preventative measures.

The team is also addressing antisocial behaviour and the misuse of off-road bikes on public highways. By conducting regular patrols and engaging with local residents, the team aims to create a safer and more secure environment for all. The team remains committed to addressing these issues and encourages the public to report any suspicious activities or concerns to help maintain the safety and security of Newton.
