BICESTER PROVES A SUCCESS......
Cherwell Crime Partnership in Bicester is now a 'big success'! It has bucked the trend as UK crime figures rise, Bicester has recorded a 29% drop in the number of shoplifting incidents. The figures compared April to October 2008 with the same period in 2009. Retailers within Bicester all believe this is all down to belonging to the Crime Partnership. Then people have now been banned from the 26 member stores and have been given a 12 month Exclusion Notice by the partnership. Rachel Faulkner, Chair, said "We are encouraged by the scheme's early success. We want to send a clear message to shoplifters that they are not welcome in Bicester. One of the most effective ways to protect our shops is communication between retailers. Members of Bicester's Crime Partnership are already seeing the benefits and we hope that other shops will join us to make Bicester a no-go area for this type of crime".
