Fifteen arrests for 'Robin Hood' shoplifting plan

FIFTEEN people were arrested in a swoop by police who believe self-styled Robin Hoods were plotting a mass shoplifting campaign to feed the poor.

Met Police said members of Take Back Power - which claimed to be behind stunts targeting the Crown Jewels and Ritz gath ered at the Quaker Meeting House in Westminster to prepare for a blitz on supermarkets.

According to the force, activists were expecting “nonviolent direct action training”.

But officers halted the meeting and arrested 15 people on suspicion of conspiracy to commit theft. One man was released on bail, while the other 14 were taken into custody at London police stations.
