Wells Journal

July 03, 2025

ANEW map has revealed the local high streets plagued by shoplifting.

Police in England and Wales recorded more than 500,000 shoplifting offences in 2024, a huge 20% surge on the previous year and the highest number since records began more than 20 years ago.

That includes 18,243 shoplifting crimes recorded by Avon and Somerset Constabulary, a 24% increase. More than one in two retail workers (56%) say they have witnessed so-called “Kamikaze” shoplifting - thefts that take place in plain sight - in their workplaces.
