Description

Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, urges retailers to combat shoplifting, citing evidence of security staff colluding with criminals and retailers refusing to cooperate with investigations. Despite a four percent drop in shoplifting due to facial recognition, the Met has one of the lowest crime solution rates, with only nine percent of cases leading to a charge. Sir Mark challenges the retail sector to do more, emphasizing the need for full participation as victims to aid law enforcement progress.
