Seven arrested in shoplifting crackdown in Keynsham

Police have arrested seven people in a crackdown on shoplifting in Keynsham.

The week-long operation in the run-up to Christmas focused on shops, supermarkets and car parks in the High Street area and involved plain clothes police and unformed officers.

"Keynsham is often considered an easy target by criminals from neighbouring districts. We took action in an attempt to prevent and detect shoplifting, and I’m very pleased with the results - seven people arrested and a clear message sent out that we will not tolerate people travelling here to commit crimes," said PC Lisa Hawtin, who organised the operation.

Keynsham Inspector Tim Stuckes said: "This was a real team effort with our officers and staff working with local shops to tackle these thieves. Some of those arrested were wanted by police for other offences and we also managed to recover stolen property and drugs."
