Shoplifting offences reported by police in England and Wales have risen to a fresh 20-year high, according to official figures, as retailers continue to warn about violence against shop staff.
A total of 469,788 offences were logged by police forces in the year to June 2024, a 29% increase compared with the 365,173 recorded in the previous 12-month period.
