Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 13:22 · Archive

Cheshire Police will increase town centre patrols from 26 October to 22 November targeting shoplifting, anti-social behaviour and street crime.

Cheshire Police is supporting the Government's Safer Town Centres initiative, which runs from 26 October to 22 November. The operation focuses on reducing anti-social behaviour, shoplifting and street crime through increased neighbourhood policing.

Superintendent Andy Baker said: 'In Cheshire, we have a real focus on neighbourhood policing, and will continue this work to support this initiative and keep our communities safe.' He added that officers will work with partners including the council, housing associations, retailers and charities to protect residents and businesses across the county.

Throughout the campaign, activities planned include support for retailers during National Safer Business Action Week and efforts to tackle knife crime through Operation Sceptre. Police will also focus on preventing anti-social behaviour during the busy Halloween and Bonfire Night period. Superintendent Baker stated that those who commit anti-social behaviour, retail crime and street crime 'can expect to face the consequences of their actions'.
