The Metropolitan Police have teamed up with key store chains to launch a joint action plan against shoplifting and theft in the city. The move comes following a notable rise in theft incidents across London.
Meanwhile, detectives applied forensic DNA to trace relatives of a alleged double rapist in active investigations. In a separate matter, a woman received a Met payout after an officer-related case she filed. Additionally, new historical sex offence charges were filed against Gary Glitter involving a juvenile victim.
