Tackling retail and business crime in Blyth Town Centre
Action taken:
The Blyth team are working closely with local businesses and partner agencies to reduce retail and business crime. By sharing intelligence and targeting persistent offenders, we’re taking proactive steps to prevent harm, including the use of police powers and Criminal Behaviour Orders. We’re also supporting long-term solutions by addressing the root causes of offending with partners. In addition, the Neighbourhood Inspector and the Crime Prevention Officer have delivered bespoke training to local business owners.
