The article discusses a sting operation conducted by the Metropolitan Police at a Co-op store on Anerley Road to combat rising shoplifting incidents. The initiative, inspired by a previous operation in Orpington, involved plainclothes officers apprehending repeat offenders. One notable arrest was George Nicholson, who stole over £50 worth of soft drinks. He received a three-year Criminal Behaviour Order to prohibit him from entering Co-op and Tesco stores. Police aim not only to deter crime but also address underlying addiction issues among offenders, indicating a dual approach to tackling this problem.
Inspector Michelle Pryal stated, "We're trying to deal with the constant offenders at this Co-op in Anerley. Our aim is to detain the main offenders."
