      The rewards far outweigh the risks.

      These gangs know that they’re unlikely to receive any real punishment even if caught by the police and that also goes for those stealing cars and mobile phones etc.

      They know policing, the Courts and prisons are on their knees right now so know they can basically take what they want, when they want and not a damn thing is going to be done about it.

      „We will find you, we will arrest you, and we will put you before the courts.“

      Then you’ll be let straight out

      Whenever the response is ‘as Met vows’ …. This means nothing will change.

    4. How long before private security firms start getting paid to prevent shoplifting?

    5. UK infrastructure isn’t able to cope with the population increase. For a justice system to work, it can’t be based on prison population limits. We need real sentences as a deterrent. 

      NHS is stretched to thin, public transport is stretched to thin, the roads are stretched to thin, all public servics are! Housing supply Vs demand is causing unaffordable houses. The justice system is about to break under capacity.

      You can’t build infrastructure easily. It takes years. The UK needs to downsize.

      Crime is so unpunished at this point I am surprised more haven’t cottoned on to the fact

    8. What is is with these articles about shops when people get Robbed on Oxford St by organised gangs for their phone every day and you don’t see one officer in either plain clothes or uniform.

      Looks to me like propaganda from news sites to discourage shoplifting.

      Where are the people who say, „If you see a shoplifter, you didn’t“?

    10. I’m still confused by the long game here.

      That’s £5,000 each worth of goods

      Over 6 weeks

      So £833 each a week.

      Is this ‘organised crime’ really worth it?

      Especially considering the resale value is fuck all?

    11. This is just government propaganda. They are trying to convince us that anybody who can afford 8 Ferrero Rocher and a bottle of supermarket wine is wealthy, so they can tax the shit out of them.

    12. You need a credible deterrent i.e. you actually need to be arrested and made to pay back multiple times the value of what you stole. In most cases the police know who the problem characters are, the stolen goods are in their property, it’s ridiculous that they get away with it.

      And it won’t take long before the public snap and vigilante justice is levelled at the well known problem people if there’s no official enforcement happening.
