Sgt Stuart Rowse said: “This was another successful day in which the team were able to prevent and reduce crime in retail premises, as well as detect a number of thefts.

“Since the team was set up in May, shoplifting in Doncaster Town Centre has decreased by almost 10 per cent and detection rates in Doncaster remain the highest across South Yorkshire.”

“We will continue to pursue offenders to ensure that we reduce shoplifting offences even further, so that Doncaster remains a safe place for all who choose to visit the town.”
