A CAMPAIGN to stamp out shoplifting and anti-social behaviour in Middlesbrough town centre has been launched.
The co-ordinated plan to make the town a safer place for people to work and visit has been unveiled by the newly formed Middlesbrough Retail Crime Partnership (MRCP).ACS ALARMS & CCTV would hope to contribute.
The partnership has already received the backing of Cleveland Police through Operation Boost - a targeted police and partner operation to target repeat offenders.
Debbie Anderson, manager of the Cleveland Centre and chairman of the MRCP Steering Group, said: “Middlesbrough is already a safe place to work, visit and shop but this scheme gives us that little bit extra.
“Information is being exchanged between the police and members and it has really improved the way that we work together to prevent crime and anti-social behaviour in Middlesbrough town centre.
“Enforcement is still a key part to the new MRCP approach, which includes catching and prosecuting offenders, and when appropriate persistent offenders will be banned from named stores or shopping centres.”
