We are aware of the impact of these crimes and strive to be a visible presence, targeting our patrols and gathering intelligence to support our investigations.

Issue

Shoplifting and retail crime
Increased theft from shops and concerns regarding threats / violence towards retail staff
Morrisons Oxted has the highest reported shoplifting in the borough.

Action

The local team complete regular engagement with the local shops and businesses to increase confidence locally. Following this engagement there has been an increase in reporting of offences locally.
There are ongoing policing operations in the town, both overt and covert targeting retail crime
